Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf/x86/intel/ds: Support monotonic clock for PEBS

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

Users try to reconcile user samples with PEBS samples and require a
common clock source. However, the current PEBS codes only convert to
sched_clock, which is not available from the user space.

Only support converting to clock monotonic. Having one common clock
source is good enough to fulfill the requirement.

Enable the large PEBS for the monotonic clock to reduce the PEBS
overhead.

There are a few rare cases that may make the conversion fails. For
example, TSC overflows. The cycle_last may be changed between samples.
The time will fallback to the inaccurate SW times. But the cases are
extremely unlikely to happen.
