MTC packets provide finer grain timestamp information than TSC packets.
MTC packets record time using the hardware crystal clock (CTC) which is
related to TSC packets using a TMA packet.

This patch just adds decoder support.

Support for a default value and validation of values is provided by a
later patch. Also documentation is updated in a separate patch.

For details refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32
Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

Record additional information in the AUXTRACE_INFO event in preparation
for decoding MTC and CYC packets.  Pass the information to the decoder.

The AUXTRACE_INFO record can be extended by using the size to indicate
the presence of new members.

The additional information includes PMU config bit positions and the TSC
to CTC (hardware crystal clock) ratio needed to decode MTC packets.

New features have been added to Intel PT which include a number of new
packet definitions.

This patch adds packet definitions for new packets: TMA, MTC, CYC, VMCS,
TRACESTOP and MNT.  Also another bit in PIP is defined.

This patch only adds support for the definitions. Later patches add
support for decoding TMA, MTC, CYC and TRACESTOP which is where those
packets are explained.

VMCS and the newly defined bit in PIP are used with virtualization which
is not supported yet.  MNT is a maintenance packet which the decoder
should ignore.

For details, refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32
Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

The period on synthesized 'instructions' samples was being set to a
fixed value, whereas the correct value is the number of instructions
since the last sample, which is a value that the decoder can provide.
So do it that way.

Add support for decoding an Intel Processor Trace.

Intel PT trace data must be 'decoded' which involves walking the object
code and matching the trace data packets.

The decoder requests a buffer of binary data via a get_trace()
call-back, which it decodes using instruction information which it gets
via another call-back walk_insn().

Add a facility to log Intel Processor Trace decoding.  The log is
intended for debugging purposes only.

The log file name is "intel_pt.log" and is opened in the current
directory.  The log contains a record of all packets and instructions
decoded and can get very large (10 MB would be a small one).

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
buffer, uses the kernel's x86 instruction decoder to get details of the
instruction and then categorizes it for consumption by an Intel PT
decoder.
