Roman Sudarikov 19a3981981 perf/x86/intel/uncore: Expose an Uncore unit to PMON mapping

Each Uncore unit type, by its nature, can be mapped to its own context -
which platform component each PMON block of that type is supposed to
monitor.

Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family (code name Skylake-SP) makes
significant changes in the integrated I/O (IIO) architecture. The new
solution introduces IIO stacks which are responsible for managing traffic
between the PCIe domain and the Mesh domain. Each IIO stack has its own
PMON block and can handle either DMI port, x16 PCIe root port, MCP-Link
or various built-in accelerators. IIO PMON blocks allow concurrent
monitoring of I/O flows up to 4 x4 bifurcation within each IIO stack.

Software is supposed to program required perf counters within each IIO
stack and gather performance data. The tricky thing here is that IIO PMON
reports data per IIO stack but users have no idea what IIO stacks are -
they only know devices which are connected to the platform.

Understanding IIO stack concept to find which IIO stack that particular
IO device is connected to, or to identify an IIO PMON block to program
for monitoring specific IIO stack assumes a lot of implicit knowledge
about given Intel server platform architecture.

Usage example:
    ls /sys/devices/uncore_<type>_<pmu_idx>/die*
