Subject: [PATCH 07/11] perf, tools: Add perf download to download event files
From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>
Add a downloader to automatically download the right
files from a download site.
This is implemented as a script calling curl, similar to
perf archive. The perf driver automatically calls the right
binary. The downloader is extensible, but currently only
implements an Intel event download. It would be straightforward
to add other sites too for other vendors.
The downloaded event files are put into ~/.cache/pmu-events, where the
builtin event parser in util/* can find them automatically.
v2: Use ~/.cache
v3: Check for wget. Some cleanups.
v4: Improve manpage.
v5: Due to popular demand use curl instead of wget.

+NAME
+----
+perf-download - Download event files for current CPU.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'perf download' [vendor-family-model]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This command automatically downloads the event list for the current CPU and
+stores them in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/pmu-events (or $HOME/.cache/pmu-events).
+The other tools automatically look for them there. The CPU can be also
+specified at the command line.
+
+The downloading is done using http through wget, which needs
+to be installed. When behind a firewall the proxies
+may also need to be set up using "export https_proxy=...."
+
+The user should regularly call this to download updated event lists
+for the current CPU.
+
+Note the downloaded files are stored per user, so if perf is
+used as both normal user and with sudo the event files may
+also need to be moved to root's home directory with
+sudo mkdir /root/.cache ; sud cp -r ~/.cache/pmu-events /root/.cache
+after downloading.

+PER CPU EVENT LISTS
+-------------------
+
+For some CPUs (particularly modern Intel CPUs) "perf download" can
+download additional CPU specific event definitions, which then
+become visible in perf list and available in the other perf tools.

+This obsoletes the raw event description method described below
