Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 0/6] TPEBS counting mode support

From: Weilin Wang <weilin.wang@...el.com>

Changes in v2:
- Add MTL metric file
- Add more descriptions and example to the patch [Arnaldo]

Here is an example of running perf stat to collect a metric that uses
retire_latency value of event MEM_INST_RETIRED.STLB_HIT_STORES on a MTL system.

In this simple example, there is no MEM_INST_RETIRED.STLB_HIT_STORES sample.
Therefore, the MEM_INST_RETIRED.STLB_HIT_STORES:p count and retire_latency value
are all 0.

/perf stat -M tma_dtlb_store -a -- sleep 1

[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]

Weilin Wang (6):
  perf stat: Parse and find tpebs events when parsing metrics to prepare
    for perf record sampling
  perf stat: Fork and launch perf record when perf stat needs to get
    retire latency value for a metric.
  perf stat: Add retire latency values into the expr_parse_ctx to
    prepare for final metric calculation
  perf stat: Create another thread for sample data processing
  perf stat: Add retire latency print functions to print out at the very
    end of print out
  perf vendor events intel: Add MTL metric json files
