Now that Intel PT supports more types of trace content than just branch
tracing, it may be useful to allow the user to disable branch tracing
when it is not needed.
The special case is BDW, where not setting BranchEn is not supported.
This is slightly trickier than necessary, because up to this moment
the driver has been setting BranchEn automatically and the userspace
assumes as much. Instead of reversing the semantics of BranchEn, we
introduce a 'passthrough' bit, which will forego the default and allow
the user to set BranchEn to their heart's content.

Since commit:
1c5ac21a0e ("perf/x86/intel/pt: Don't die on VMXON")
... PT events depend on re-scheduling to get enabled after a VMX session
has taken place. This is, in particular, a problem for CPU context events,
which don't normally get re-scheduled, unless there is a reason.
This patch changes the VMX handling so that PT event gets re-enabled
when VMX root mode exits.
Also, notify the user when there's a gap in PT data due to VMX root
mode by flagging AUX records as partial.
In combination with vmm_exclusive=0 parameter of the kvm_intel driver,
this will result in trace gaps only for the duration of the guest's
timeslices.

In preparation for adding more flags to perf AUX records, introduce a
separate API for setting the flags for a session, rather than appending
more bool arguments to perf_aux_output_end. This allows to set each
flag at the time a corresponding condition is detected, instead of
tracking it in each driver's private state.

forgot to add format strings to the PT driver. So one could enable these features
by setting corresponding bits in the event config, but not by their mnemonic names.
This patch adds the format strings.

The Intel PT facility grew some new functionality:
* PTWRITE packet carries the payload of the new PTWRITE instruction
that can be used to instrument Intel PT traces with user-supplied
data. Packets of this type are only generated if 'ptwrite' capability
is set and PTWEn bit is set in the event attribute's config. Flow
update packets (FUP) can be generated on PTWRITE packets if FUPonPTW
config bit is set. Setting these bits is not allowed if 'ptwrite'
capability is not set.
* PWRE, PWRX, MWAIT, EXSTOP packets communicate core power management
events. These depend on 'power_event_tracing' capability and are
enabled by setting PwrEvtEn bit in the event attribute.
Extend the driver capabilities and provide the proper sanity checks in the
event validation function.

Right now, the kernel address filters in PT are prone to integer overflow
that may happen in adding filter's size to its offset to obtain the end
of the range. Such an overflow would also throw a #GP in the PT event
configuration path.
Fix this by explicitly validating the result of this calculation.

The kernel_ip() filter is used mostly by the DS/LBR code to look at the
branch addresses, but Intel PT also uses it to validate the address
filter offsets for kernel addresses, for which it is not sufficient:
supplying something in bits 64:48 that's not a sign extension of the lower
address bits (like 0xf00d000000000000) throws a #GP.
This patch adds address validation for the user supplied kernel filters.

PT address filter configuration requires that a range is specified by
its first and last address, but at the moment we're obtaining the end
of the range by adding user specified size to its start, which is off
by one from what it actually needs to be.

Currently, the PT driver always sets the PMI bit one region (page) before
the STOP region so that we can wake up the consumer before we run out of
room in the buffer and have to disable the event. However, we also need
an interrupt in the last output region, so that we actually get to disable
the event (if no more room from new data is available at that point),
otherwise hardware just quietly refuses to start, but the event is
scheduled in and we end up losing trace data till the event gets removed.
For a cpu-wide event it is even worse since there may not be any
re-scheduling at all and no chance for the ring buffer code to notice
that its buffer is filled up and the event needs to be disabled (so that
the consumer can re-enable it when it finishes reading the data out). In
other words, all the trace data will be lost after the buffer gets filled
up.
This patch makes PT also generate a PMI when the last output region is
full.

Intel PT decoders need access to various bits of timing related
information to be able to correctly decode timing packets from a PT
stream (MTC and CBR packets). This patch exports all the necessary
bits as sysfs attributes for the sake of consistency:
* max_nonturbo_ratio: ratio between the invariant TSC and base clock;
* tsc_art_ratio: TSC to core crystal clock ratio (also available as CPUID.15H).

Some versions of Intel PT do not support tracing across VMXON, more
specifically, VMXON will clear TraceEn control bit and any attempt to
set it before VMXOFF will throw a #GP, which in the current state of
things will crash the kernel. Namely:
$ perf record -e intel_pt// kvm -nographic
on such a machine will kill it.
To avoid this, notify the intel_pt driver before VMXON and after
VMXOFF so that it knows when not to enable itself.

As per AUX buffer management requirement, AUX output has to happen between
pmu::start and pmu::stop calls so that perf_event_stop() actually stops it
and therefore perf can free the AUX data after it has called pmu::stop.
This patch moves perf_aux_output_{begin,end} from pt_event_{add,del} to
pt_event_{start,stop}. As a bonus, we get rid of pt_buffer_is_full(),
which is already taken care of by perf_aux_output_begin() anyway.
