x86, perf: Add raw events support for the P4 PMU
The adding of raw event support lead to complete code
refactoring. I hope is became more readable then it was.
The list of changes:
1) The 64bit config field is enough to hold all information we need
to track event details. To achieve it we used *own* enum for
events selection in ESCR register and map this key into proper
value at moment of event enabling.
For the same reason we use 12LSB bits in CCCR register -- to track
which exactly cache trace event was requested. And we cear this bits
at real 'write' moment.
2) There is no per-cpu area reserved for P4 PMU anymore. We
don't need it. All is held by config.
3) Now we may use any available counter, ie we try to grab any
possible counter.
v2:
- Lin Ming reported the lack of ESCR selector in CCCR for cache events
v3:
- Don't loose cache event codes at config unpacking procedure, we may
need it one day so no obscure hack behind our back, better to clear
reserved bits explicitly when needed (thanks Ming for pointing out)
- Lin Ming fixed misplaced opcodes in cache events
