This small patch fixes a mistake in the comments
for the PERF_MEM_LVL_* events. The L2, L3 bits simply
represent cache levels, not hits or misses. That is
encoded in PERF_MEM_LVL_MISS/PERF_MEM_LVL_HIT.

Type of mapping was lost and made it hard for a tool
to distinguish code vs. data mmaps. Perf has the ability
to distinguish the two.

Use a bit in the header->misc bitmask to keep track of
the mmap type. If PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_DATA is set then
the mapping is not executable (!VM_EXEC). If not set, then
the mapping is executable.

This patch adds PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC.

PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC collects the data source, i.e., where
did the data associated with the sampled instruction
come from. Information is stored in a perf_mem_data_src
structure. It contains opcode, mem level, tlb, snoop,
lock information, subject to availability in hardware.

For some events it's useful to weight sample with a hardware
provided number. This expresses how expensive the action the
sample represent was.  This allows the profiler to scale
the samples to be more informative to the programmer.

There is already the period which is used similarly, but it
means something different, so I chose to not overload it.
Instead a new sample type for WEIGHT is added.

Can be used for multiple things. Initially it is used for TSX
abort costs and profiling by memory latencies (so to make
expensive load appear higher up in the histograms). The concept
is quite generic and can be extended to many other kinds of
events or architectures, as long as the hardware provides
suitable auxillary values. In principle it could be also used
for software tracepoints.

This adds the generic glue. A new optional sample format for a
64-bit weight value.

While trying to write a perf_event/mmap test for my perf_event
test-suite I came across a missing field description in the
PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE documentation in perf_event.h
