Subject: [PATCH 1/4] x86/perf/intel: Introduce PMU flag for Extended PEBS

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>

The Extended PEBS feature, introduced in Goldmont Plus
microarchitecture, supports all events as "Extended PEBS".

Introduce flag PMU_FL_PEBS_ALL to indicate the platforms which support
extended PEBS.
To support all events, it needs to support all constraints for PEBS. To
avoid duplicating all the constraints in the PEBS table, making the PEBS
code search the normal constraints too.
