Subject[PATCH 4/8]powerpc/perf: Add Power8 mem_access event to sysfs
Date
Patch add "mem_access" event to sysfs. This as-is not a raw event
supported by Power8 pmu. Instead, it is formed based on
raw event encoding specificed in Power8-pmu.c.

Primary PMU event used here is PM_MRK_INST_CMPL.
This event tracks only the completed marked instructions.

Random sampling mode (MMCRA[SM]) with Random Load/Store
Facility Sampling (RLS) is enabled to mark type of instructions.

With Random sampling in RLS mode with PM_MRK_INST_CMPL event
on Power8, the LDST field in SIER identifies the memory
hierarchy level (eg: L1, L2 etc), from which a data-cache
miss for a marked instruction are satisfied.
