Intel now provides comprehensive tables for all performance counters
and the various valid configuration permutations as text .json files.
Libpmc has been converted to use these and hwpmc_core has been greatly
simplified by moving to passthrough of the table values.
The one gotcha is that said tables don't support pentium pro and and pentium
IV. There's very few users of hwpmc on _amd64_ kernels on new hardware. It is
unlikely that anyone is doing low level optimization on 15 year old Intel
hardware. Nonetheless, if someone feels strongly enough to populate the
corresponding tables for p4 and ppro I will reinstate the files in to the
build.
Code for the K8 counters and !x86 architectures remains unchanged.
vendor provided pmu-events tables and sundry cleanups.
The vendor pmu-events tables provide counter descriptions, default
sample rates, event, umask, and flag values for all the counter
configuration permutations. Using this gives us:
- much simpler kernel code for the MD component
- helpful long and short event descriptions
- simpler user code
- sample rates that won't overload the system
Update man page with newer sample types and remove unused sample type.

This should be effectively a nop for all archs, but for some reason the codegen
difference on the PowerPC 970 is such that the struct assignment doesn't work
(unless a printf() using one of the elements in the copied struct follows it),
while the memcpy() succeeds. On all archs the memcpy() should be expanded to an
inline copy, since the copy is bounded to ~16 bytes.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Start new sentences on new lines.
Sentences affected by the change are wrapped at <80 columns. Other
potentially offending lines have been left alone to reduce churn.

tested on the Broadwell-Xeon with a hacked up version of pmcstudy -T. I still need
to circle back and add in to pmcstudy all the new tests from the Broadwell Vtune
guide (for the hacked up version I just made it so I could run the -T option). The
Skylake CPU is not yet available (even though Intel is advertising it .. imagine that).
The Skylake PMC's will need to be tested once we can get a sample skylake CPU :-)

This both avoids some dependencies on xinstall.host and allows
bootstrapping on older releases to work due to lack of at least 'install -l'
support.

When pmcstat exits after some samples were dropped, give the user an
idea of how many were lost. (Granted, these are global numbers, but
they may still help quantify the scope of the loss.)

This supports e500v1, e500v2, and e500mc. Tested only on e500v2, but the
performance counters are identical across all, with e500mc having some
additional events.
Relnotes: Yes
These are similar to the mips24k performance counters - some are
available on perfcnt0/3, some are available on perfcnt1/4.
However, the events aren't all the same.
* Add the events, named the same as from Linux oprofile.
* Verify they're the same as "MIPS32(R) 74KTM Processor Core Family
Software User's Manual"; Document Number: MD00519; Revision 01.05.
* Rename INSTRUCTIONS to something else, so it doesn't clash with
the alias INSTRUCTIONS. I'll try to tidy this up later; there
are a few other aliases to add and shuffle around.
Tested:
* QCA9558 SoC (AP135 board) - MIPS74Kc core (no FPU.)
* make universe; where it didn't fail for other reasons.
TODO:
* It'd be nice to support the four performance counters
in at least this hardware, rather than just two.

The MEM_UOPS_RETIRED actually work the same way as the Sandy
Bridge counters, but the counters were documented in a different
way and that seemed to cause the Ivy Bridge counters to be
implemented incorrectly. Use the same counter definitions as
Sandy Bridge. While I'm here, rename the counters to match
what's documented in the datasheet.
