Subject: [PATCH 00/37] perf intel-pt: Power events and PTWRITE

Hi

Here are some patches to support Intel PT Power events and PTWRITE.
Power events report changes to C-state but I have also added support
for the existing CBR (core-to-bus ratio) packet and included that
when outputting power events.  The PTWRITE packet is associated with
the new ptwrite instruction, which is essentially just a way to stuff
a 32 or 64 bit value into the PT trace.  More details can be found in
the patches that add documentation and in the Intel SDM.

As far as I know, there isn't any hardware released that supports
the new packets, however the CBR packet is not new and will now be
visible by default.

There are also some miscellaneous improvements to Intel PT.

There are 3 patches that introduce a new way to define synthesized
events that carry arbitrary raw_data.  I sent an RFC about that earlier.
The 3 patches are:
      perf script: Add 'synth' event type for synthesized events
      perf script: Add 'synth' field for synthesized event payloads
      perf script: Add synthesized Intel PT power and ptwrite events
