[PATCH RFC V2 1/1] x86, perf: Add a freq pmu driver

Kan Liang

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

This patch adds freq PMU to support time and freq related counters
includes TSC, IA32_APERF, IA32_MPERF and IA32_PPERF.

The events are exposed in sysfs for use by perf stat and other tools.
The files are under /sys/devices/freq/events/

These events only support system-wide mode counting.

The PMU type (attr->type) is PERF_TYPE_FREQ.

Example:

To caculate the CPU%
CPU_Utilization = CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF_TSC / TSC

$ perf stat -e '{ref-cycles,freq/tsc/}' -C0 -- taskset -c 0 sleep 1
3164023,,ref-cycles,1048387386,100.00
2410812089,,freq/tsc/,1050022373,100.00
The CPU% for sleep is 0.13%.

$ perf stat -e '{ref-cycles,freq/tsc/}' -C0 -- taskset -c 0 busyloop
15662183572,,ref-cycles,6822637855,100.00
15667608992,,freq/tsc/,6823978523,100.00
The CPU% for busy loop is 99.9%.

The patch is based on the patch "x86, perf: Add an aperfmperf driver"
from Andy Lutomirski (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/28/757)

Changes from V1
- Change the name from aperfmperf to freq
- Add TSC and PPERF support
- Change to perf_sw_context
- Assign new PERF_TYPE name
- Split stop_or_del to two functions
- Update state of hw_perf_event
- Update changlog
