to circle back and add in to pmcstudy all the new tests from the Broadwell Vtune
guide (for the hacked up version I just made it so I could run the -T option). The
Skylake CPU is not yet available (even though Intel is advertising it .. imagine that).
The Skylake PMC's will need to be tested once we can get a sample skylake CPU :-)

When pmcstat exits after some samples were dropped, give the user an
idea of how many were lost. (Granted, these are global numbers, but
they may still help quantify the scope of the loss.)

This supports e500v1, e500v2, and e500mc. Tested only on e500v2, but the
performance counters are identical across all, with e500mc having some
additional events.
Relnotes: Yes
These are similar to the mips24k performance counters - some are
available on perfcnt0/3, some are available on perfcnt1/4.
However, the events aren't all the same.
* Add the events, named the same as from Linux oprofile.
* Verify they're the same as "MIPS32(R) 74KTM Processor Core Family
Software User's Manual"; Document Number: MD00519; Revision 01.05.
* Rename INSTRUCTIONS to something else, so it doesn't clash with
the alias INSTRUCTIONS. I'll try to tidy this up later; there
are a few other aliases to add and shuffle around.
Tested:
* QCA9558 SoC (AP135 board) - MIPS74Kc core (no FPU.)
* make universe; where it didn't fail for other reasons.
TODO:
* It'd be nice to support the four performance counters
in at least this hardware, rather than just two.

The MEM_UOPS_RETIRED actually work the same way as the Sandy
Bridge counters, but the counters were documented in a different
way and that seemed to cause the Ivy Bridge counters to be
implemented incorrectly. Use the same counter definitions as
Sandy Bridge. While I'm here, rename the counters to match
what's documented in the datasheet.

On Sandy Bridge and later, to count branch-related events you
have to or together a mask indicating the type of branch
instruction to count (e.g. direct jump, branch, etc) and a bits
indicating whether to count taken and not-taken branches. The
current counter definitions where defining this bits individually,
so the counters never worked and always just counted 0.
Fix the counter definitions to instead contain the proper
combination of masks. Also update the man pages to reflect the
new counters.

go back through HASWELL, IVY_BRIDGE, IVY_BRIDGE_XEON and SANDY_BRIDGE
to straighten out all the missing PMCs. We also add a new pmc tool
pmcstudy, this allows one to run the various formulas from
the documents "Using Intel Vtune Amplifier XE on XXX Generation platforms" for
IB/SB and Haswell. The tool also allows one to postulate your own
formulas with any of the various PMC's. At some point I will enahance
this to work with Brendan Gregg's flame-graphs so we can flamegraph
various PMC interactions. Note the manual page also needs some
work (lots of work) but gnn has committed to help me with that ;-)

This will for example allow easy system profiling whatever the processor is

In these CPUs, the actual numbers, kinds and widths of PMCs present
need to queried at run time. Support for specific "architectural"
events also needs to be queried at run time.
Model 0xE CPUs support programmable PMCs, subsequent CPUs
additionally support "fixed-function" counters.
- Use event names that are close to vendor documentation, taking in
account that:
- events with identical semantics on two or more CPUs in this family
can have differing names in vendor documentation,
- identical vendor event names may map to differing events across
CPUs,
- each type of CPU supports a different subset of measurable
events.
Fixed-function and programmable counters both use the same vendor
names for events. The use of a class name prefix ("iaf-" or
"iap-" respectively) permits these to be distinguished.
- In libpmc, refactor pmc_name_of_event() into a public interface
and an internal helper function, for use by log handling code.
- Minor code tweaks: staticize a global, freshen a few comments.
