Intel PT chapter in the new Intel Architecture SDM adds several packets corresponding enable bits and registers that control packet generation. Also, additional bits in the Intel PT CPUID leaf were added to enumerate presence and parameters of these new packets and features. The packets and enables are: * CYC: cycle accurate mode, provides the number of cycles elapsed since previous CYC packet; its presence and available threshold values are enumerated via CPUID; * MTC: mini time counter packets, used for tracking TSC time between full TSC packets; its presence and available resolution options are enumerated via CPUID; * PSB packet period is now configurable, available period values are enumerated via CPUID. This patch adds corresponding bit and register definitions, pmu driver capabilities based on CPUID enumeration, new attribute format bits for the new featurens and extends event configuration validation function to take these into account.

Add support for Intel Processor Trace (PT) to kernel's perf events. PT is an extension of Intel Architecture that collects information about software execuction such as control flow, execution modes and timings and formats it into highly compressed binary packets. Even being compressed, these packets are generated at hundreds of megabytes per second per core, which makes it impractical to decode them on the fly in the kernel. This driver exports trace data by through AUX space in the perf ring buffer, which is zero-copy mapped into userspace for faster data retrieval.
