Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] perf: Communicate sink via event::attr:config2

This is the second revision of a patchset allowing multiple sources to select
the same sink for a session which is a prerequisite for the support of CoreSight
CPU-wide trace scenarios.

The sink ID is communicated to the kernel by way of the event's configuration
attribute (event::attr:config2).  The ID itself is an hash of the sink's name,
something that is readily available and doesn't require the addition of a new
information field in the coresight_device structure.

With this set the mechanic to communicate sink selection to the kernel via
sysfs is no longer needed and removed.

Applies cleanly and tested on 5.0-rc3.

Thanks,
Mathieu

Changes for V2:
* Addressed memory leak in etm_perf_add_symlink_sink()
* Keep track of device attribute for future removal.
* Added PMU attribure for config2.
* Fixed email address signature.

  perf/aux: Make perf_event accessible to setup_aux()
  coresight: perf: Add "sinks" group to PMU directory
  coresight: Use event attributes for sink selection
  perf pmu: Moving EVENT_SOURCE_DEVICE_PATH to PMU header file
  perf tools: Use event attributes to send sink information to kernel
  perf tools: Removing CoreSight set_drv_config() API
  perf tools: Remove PMU::set_drv_config API
