Subject: [PATCH 00/44] perf tools: Introduce an abstraction for AUX Area  and Instruction Tracing

Hi

Here are patches for the introduction of an abstraction for
using the AUX area and Instruction tracing. This patch
set now include support for Intel PT / Intel BTS.

The first 25 patches have been sent before and some have
Jiri's acks. One patch that Jiri acked "perf evlist: Add
support for mmapping an AUX area buffer" has been since
modified slightly so I dropped the ack.

Intel BTS can be used on most recent Intel CPUs. Intel PT
is available on Broadwell.

Examples:

	Trace 'ls' with Intel BTS userspace only

	perf record --per-thread -e intel_bts//u ls
	perf report
	perf script

	Trace 'ls' with Intel BTS kernel and userspace

	~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore record bts-ls --per-thread -e intel_bts// -- ls
	~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore report bts-ls
	~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore script bts-ls

	Trace 'ls' with Intel PT userspace only

	perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
	perf report
	perf script

	Trace 'ls' with Intel PT kernel and userspace

	~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore record pt-ls -e intel_pt// -- ls
	~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore report pt-ls
	~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore script pt-ls


The abstraction has two separate aspects:
	1. recording AUX area data
	2. processing AUX area data

Recording consists of mmapping a separate buffer and copying
the data into the perf.data file.  The buffer is an AUX area
buffer.  The data is written preceded by a new user event
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE.  The data is too big to fit in the event
but follows immediately afterward. Session processing has to
skip to get to the next event header in a similar fashion to
the existing PERF_RECORD_HEADER_TRACING_DATA
event.  The main recording patches are:

      perf evlist: Add support for mmapping an AUX area buffer
      perf tools: Add user events for AUX area tracing
      perf tools: Add support for AUX area recording
      perf record: Add basic AUX area tracing support

Processing consists of providing hooks in session processing
to enable a decoder to see all the events and deliver synthesized
events transparently into the event stream.  The main processing
patch is:

      perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing data
