Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf, x86: Use INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS for cycles:pp for Skylake

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

I added UOPS_RETIRED.ALL by mistake to the Skylake PEBS event list
for cycles:pp. But the event is not documented for Skylake, and has
some issues.

The recommended replacement for cycles:pp is to use INST_RETIRED.ANY+pebs
as a base, similar to what CPUs before Sandy Bridge did. This new event
is called INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS. The event is not really
new, but has been already used by perf before Sandy Bridge
for the original cycles:p

Note the SDM doesn't document that event either, but it's
being documented in the latest version of the event list on
https://download.01.org/perfmon/SKL

This patch does:

- Remove UOPS_RETIRED.ALL from the Skylake PEBS event list
- Add INST_RETIRED.ANY to the Skylake PEBS event list, and an table entry to
allow cmask=16,inv=1 for cycles:pp
- We don't need an extra entry for the base INST_RETIRED event,
because it is already covered by the catch-all PEBS table entry.
- Switch Skylake to use the Core2 PEBS alias (which is
INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS)
