Subject: [PATCH v5 0/5] perf: script: Intro capstone disasm engine to show instruction trace

This series introduces capstone disassembler engine to print instructions of
Intel PT trace, which was printed via the XED tool.

The advantages compared to XED tool:
    * Support arm, arm64, x86-32, x86_64, s390 (more could be supported),
      xed only for x86_64.
    * More friendly to read. Immediate address operands are shown as symbol+offs.

Display raw instructions:
    $ sudo perf record --event intel_pt//u -- ls
    $ sudo perf script --insn-trace

v5:
  - fixes and improments suggested by Adrian Hunter
v4:
  - rename 'insn_disam' to 'disasm' (Adrian Hunter)
v3:
  - fix s390 detection. (Thomas Richter)
v2:
  - add a new field 'insn_disam' instead of changing the default output.
  - preserve the old --xed option.

Changbin Du (5):
  perf: build: introduce the libcapstone
  perf: util: use capstone disasm engine to show assembly instructions
  perf: script: add field 'disasm' to display mnemonic instructions
  perf: script: add raw|disasm arguments to --insn-trace option
  perf: script: prefer capstone to XED
