Subjectperf PMU support for Haswell: Extended functionality v1
Date
This is based on v7 of the earlier combined Haswell PMU patchkit.
The basic functionality has moved into a separate patchkit.
These patches implement more advanced functionality. Most
of the functionality is related to TSX.

This applies on top of the basic hsw/pmu4-basics patchkit posted
separately.

Some of this touches similar areas as Stephane's patchkit, with
some shared patches too.

Available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/ak/linux-misc.git hsw/pmu4

High level overview:

- Easy high level TSX measurement in perf stat -T
- Transaction events and attributes implemented with sysfs enumeration
- Export arch perfmon events in sysfs
- Generic weightend profiling for memory latency and transaction abort costs.
- Support for address profiling
- KVM support to do basic TSX profiling from guests
- Support for filtering/displaying transaction abort types based on
PEBS information

For more details on the Haswell PMU please see the SDM. For more details on TSX
please see http://halobates.de/adding-lock-elision-to-linux.pdf

Some of the added features could be added to older CPUs too. I plan
to do this, but in separate patches.

Open:
- Weight sorting does not work (see thread), not a show stopper.
