ptwrite is an Intel x86 instruction that writes arbitrary values into an
Intel PT trace. It is not supported on all hardware, so provide an
alternative that makes use of TNT packets to convey the payload data.
TNT packets encode Taken/Not-taken conditional branch information, so
taking branches based on the payload value will encode the value into
the TNT packet. Refer to the changes to the documentation file
perf-intel-pt.txt in this patch for an example.

Now that there's a common version of the decoder for all tools, use it
instead of the local copy.
Also use perf's check-headers.sh script to diff the decoder files to
make sure they remain in sync with the kernel version. Objtool has a
similar check.
Committer notes:
Had to keep this all pointing explicitely to x86 headers/files, i.e.
instead of asm/isnn.h we had to use ../include/asm/insn.h when the files
were in differemt dirs, or just replace "<asm/foo.h>" with "foo.h".
This way we continue to be able to process perf.data files with Intel PT
traces in distros other than x86.
Also fixed up the awk script paths to use $(srcdir)/tools/arch instead
or relative directories so that we keep detached tarballs (make help |
grep perf) working.
For now the include lines in these headers are being ignored so as not
to flag false reports of kernel/tools out of sync.

This is a fix for another instance of the skid problem Milian recently
found [1]
The LBRs don't freeze at the exact same time as the PMI is triggered.
The perf script brstackinsn code that dumps LBR assembler assumes that
the last branch in the LBR leads to the sample point. But with skid
it's possible that the CPU executes one or more branches before the
sample, but which do not appear in the LBR.
What happens then is either that the sample point is before the last LBR
branch. In this case the dumper sees a negative length and ignores it.
Or it the sample point is long after the last branch. Then the dumper
sees a very long block and dumps it upto its block limit (16k bytes),
which is noise in the output.
On typical sample session this can happen regularly.
This patch tries to detect and handle the situation. On the last block
that is dumped by the LBR dumper we always stop on the first branch. If
the block length is negative just scan forward to the first branch.
Otherwise scan until a branch is found.
The PT decoder already has a function that uses the instruction decoder
to detect branches, so we can just reuse it here.
Then when a terminating branch is found print an indication and stop
dumping. This might miss a few instructions, but at least shows no
runaway blocks.

Implement printing instruction sequences as hex dump for branch stacks.
This relies on the x86 instruction decoder used by the PT decoder to
find the lengths of instructions to dump them individually.
This is good enough for pattern matching.
This allows to study hot paths for individual samples, together with
branch misprediction and cycle count / IPC information if available (on
Skylake systems).

Only works when no special branch filters are specified.
Occasionally the path does not reach up to the sample IP, as the LBRs
may be frozen before executing a final jump. In this case we print a
special message.
The instruction dumper piggy backs on the existing infrastructure from
the IP PT decoder.
An earlier iteration of this patch relied on a disassembler, but this
version only uses the existing instruction decoder.

There is missing initialization. It only affects the test because it is

Change Intel PT and BTS to pass up the length and the instruction
bytes of the decoded or sampled instruction in the perf sample.
The decoder already knows this information, we just need to pass it
up. Since it is only a couple of movs it is not very expensive.
Handle instruction cache too. Make sure ilen is always initialized.
Used in the next patch.

Tidy instruction buffer size usage in preparation for copying the
instruction bytes onto samples.
The instruction buffer is presently used for debugging, so rename its
size macro from INTEL_PT_INSN_DBG_BUF_SZ to INTEL_PT_INSN_BUF_SZ, and
use it everywhere.
Note that the maximum instruction size is 15 which is a less efficient size
to copy than 16, which is why a separate buffer size is used.

Add support for decoding instructions for Intel Processor Trace. The
kernel x86 instruction decoder is copied for this.
This essentially provides intel_pt_get_insn() which takes a binary
