perf/x86/intel/pt: Add Intel PT PMU driver
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.
