<title>perf intel-pt: Use shared x86 insn decoder</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that there's a common version of the decoder for all tools, use it
instead of the local copy.

Also use perf's check-headers.sh script to diff the decoder files to
make sure they remain in sync with the kernel version.  Objtool has a
similar check.

Committer notes:

Had to keep this all pointing explicitely to x86 headers/files, i.e.
instead of asm/isnn.h we had to use ../include/asm/insn.h when the files
were in differemt dirs, or just replace "&lt;asm/foo.h&gt;" with "foo.h".

This way we continue to be able to process perf.data files with Intel PT
traces in distros other than x86.

Also fixed up the awk script paths to use $(srcdir)/tools/arch instead
or relative directories so that we keep detached tarballs (make help |
grep perf) working.

For now the include lines in these headers are being ignored so as not
to flag false reports of kernel/tools out of sync.

Remove the last unneeded use of cache.h in a header, we can check where
it is really needed, i.e. we can remove it and be sure that it isn't
being obtained indirectly.

This is an old file, used by now incorrectly in many places, so it was
providing includes needed indirectly, fixup this fallout.

The core-to-bus ratio (CBR) provides the CPU frequency. With branches
enabled, the decoder was outputting CBR changes only when there was a
branch. That loses the correct time of the change if the trace is not in
context (e.g. not tracing kernel space). Change to output the CBR change
immediately.

<id>edff7809c80f09398783d602c33a507309c23e24</id>
<content type='text'>
Add 3 new packets to supports PEBS via PT, namely Block Begin Packet
(BBP), Block Item Packet (BIP) and Block End Packet (BEP). PEBS data is
encoded into multiple BIP packets that come between BBP and BEP. The BEP
packet might be associated with a FUP packet. That is indicated by using
a separate packet type (INTEL_PT_BEP_IP) similar to other packets types
with the _IP suffix.

Refer to the Intel SDM for more information about PEBS via PT:

  https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sdm
  May 2019 version: Vol. 3B 18.5.5.2 PEBS output to Intel® Processor Trace

Decoding of BIP packets conflicts with single-byte TNT packets. Since
BIP packets only occur in the context of a block (i.e. between BBP and
BEP), that context must be recorded and passed to the packet decoder.
