e9d32c1bf0 perf vendor events: Add support for arch standard events
For some architectures (like arm), there are architecture- defined
events. Sometimes these events may be "recommended" according to the
architecture standard, in that the implementer is free ignore the
"recommendation" and create its custom event.

This patch adds support for parsing standard events from arch-defined
JSONs, and fixing up vendor events when they have implemented these
events as standard.

Support is also ensured that the vendor may implement their own custom
events.

A new step is added to the pmu events parsing to fix up the vendor
events with the arch-standard events.

The arch-defined JSONs must be placed in the arch root folder for
preprocessing prior to tree JSON processing.

In the vendor JSON, to specify that the arch event is supported, the
keyword "ArchStdEvent" should be used, like this:

[
    {
        "ArchStdEvent": "L1D_CACHE_WR",
    },
]

Matching is based on the "EventName" field in the architecture JSON.

No other JSON objects are strictly required. However, for other objects
added, these take precedence over architecture defined standard events,
thus supporting separate events which have the same event code.

51ce1dcc5d perf vendor events: Add support for pmu events vendor subdirectory
For some architectures (like arm), it is required to support a vendor
subdirectory and not locate all the JSONs for a specific vendor in the
same folder.

This is because all the events for the same vendor will be placed in the
same pmu events table, which may cause conflict.  This conflict would be
in the instance that a vendor's custom implemented events do have the
same meaning on different platforms, so events in the pmu table would
conflict. In addition, per list command may show events which are not
even supported for a given platform.

This patch adds support for a arch/vendor/platform directory hierarchy,
while maintaining backwards-compatibility for existing arch/platform
structure. In this, each platform would always have its own pmu events
table.

In generated file pmu_events.c, each platform table name is in the
format pme{_vendor}_platform, like this:

struct pmu_events_map pmu_events_map[] = {
{
	.cpuid = "0x00000000420f5160",
	.version = "v1",
	.type = "core",
	.table = pme_cavium_thunderx2
},
{
	.cpuid = 0,
	.version = 0,
	.type = 0,
	.table = 0,
},
};

4c0ab16052 perf vendor events: Drop incomplete multiple mapfile support
Currently jevents supports multiple mapfiles, but this is only in the
form where mapfile basename starts with 'mapfile.csv'

At the moment, no architectures actually use multiple mapfiles, so drop
the support for now.

This patch also solves a nuisance where, when the mapfile is edited and
the text editor may create a backup, jevents may use the backup, as
shown:

  jevents: Many mapfiles? Using pmu-events/arch/arm64/mapfile.csv~, ignoring pmu-events/arch/arm64/mapfile.csv

3f056b6664 perf jevents: Make build fail on JSON parse error
Today, when a JSON file fails parsing the build continues, but there are
no json files built in, which is difficult to debug later.  Make the
build stop on a parse error instead.

v2: Add fixes from Sukadev. Now we handle architectures
    with no JSON events correctly. And fix some stale comments.

Committer note:

Tested by running the cross build container tests, that were all failing
for v1.
