d35869ba34 perf/x86/intel/pt: Allow the disabling of branch tracing
Now that Intel PT supports more types of trace content than just branch
tracing, it may be useful to allow the user to disable branch tracing
when it is not needed.

The special case is BDW, where not setting BranchEn is not supported.

This is slightly trickier than necessary, because up to this moment
the driver has been setting BranchEn automatically and the userspace
assumes as much. Instead of reversing the semantics of BranchEn, we
introduce a 'passthrough' bit, which will forego the default and allow
the user to set BranchEn to their heart's content.

f4c0b0aa58 perf/core: Keep AUX flags in the output handle
In preparation for adding more flags to perf AUX records, introduce a
separate API for setting the flags for a session, rather than appending
more bool arguments to perf_aux_output_end. This allows to set each
flag at the time a corresponding condition is detected, instead of
tracking it in each driver's private state.

8ee83b2ab3 perf/x86/intel/pt: Add support for PTWRITE and power event tracing
The Intel PT facility grew some new functionality:

  * PTWRITE packet carries the payload of the new PTWRITE instruction
    that can be used to instrument Intel PT traces with user-supplied
    data. Packets of this type are only generated if 'ptwrite' capability
    is set and PTWEn bit is set in the event attribute's config. Flow
    update packets (FUP) can be generated on PTWRITE packets if FUPonPTW
    config bit is set. Setting these bits is not allowed if 'ptwrite'
    capability is not set.

  * PWRE, PWRX, MWAIT, EXSTOP packets communicate core power management
    events. These depend on 'power_event_tracing' capability and are
    enabled by setting PwrEvtEn bit in the event attribute.

Extend the driver capabilities and provide the proper sanity checks in the
event validation function.

65c7e6f1c4 perf/x86/intel/pt: Export CPU frequency ratios needed by PT decoders
Intel PT decoders need access to various bits of timing related
information to be able to correctly decode timing packets from a PT
stream (MTC and CBR packets). This patch exports all the necessary
bits as sysfs attributes for the sake of consistency:

  * max_nonturbo_ratio: ratio between the invariant TSC and base clock;

  * tsc_art_ratio: TSC to core crystal clock ratio (also available as CPUID.15H).

eadf48cab4 perf/x86/intel/pt: Add support for address range filtering in PT
Newer versions of Intel PT support address ranges, which can be used to
define IP address range-based filters or TraceSTOP regions. Number of
ranges in enumerated via cpuid.

This patch implements PMU callbacks and related low-level code to allow
filter validation, configuration and programming into the hardware.

0dd28e2cda perf/x86/intel/pt: Move PT specific MSR bit definitions to a private header
Nothing outside of the Intel PT driver should ever care about its MSR
bits, so there is no reason to keep them in msr-index.h. This patch
moves them to a pt-local header.

1c5ac21a0e perf/x86/intel/pt: Don't die on VMXON
Some versions of Intel PT do not support tracing across VMXON, more
specifically, VMXON will clear TraceEn control bit and any attempt to
set it before VMXOFF will throw a #GP, which in the current state of
things will crash the kernel. Namely:

  $ perf record -e intel_pt// kvm -nographic

on such a machine will kill it.

To avoid this, notify the intel_pt driver before VMXON and after
VMXOFF so that it knows when not to enable itself.
