Modules from ports/pkg are commonly installed to /boot/modules rather than to
the same directory the kernel resides in. Look there if a module is not found
next to the kernel.

This adds the -U options to pmcstat which will attribute in-kernel samples
back to the user stack that invoked the system call. It is not the default,
because when looking at kernel profiles it is generally more desirable to
merge all instances of a given system call together.
Although heavily revised, this change is directly derived from D7350 by
Jonathan T. Looney.

The vendor pmu-events tables provide counter descriptions, default
sample rates, event, umask, and flag values for all the counter
configuration permutations. Using this gives us:
- much simpler kernel code for the MD component
- helpful long and short event descriptions
- simpler user code
- sample rates that won't overload the system

pmu-events: expand out skylake regex to simplify string matches
pmcstat(8) contains an option to output sampling data in a gmon format
compatible with gprof(1). Currently, it uses the default histcounter,
which is an (unsigned short). With large sets of sampling data, it
is possible to overflow the maximum value provided by an (unsigned
short).
This change adds the -e argument to pmcstat. If -e and -g are both
specified, pmcstat will use a histcounter type of uint64_t.

Kernel changes:
Inform hwpmc of executable objects brought into the system by
kldload() and mmap(), and of their removal by kldunload() and
munmap(). A helper function linker_hwpmc_list_objects() has been
added to "sys/kern/kern_linker.c" and is used by hwpmc to retrieve
the list of currently loaded kernel modules.
The unused `MAPPINGCHANGE' event has been deprecated in favour
of separate `MAP_IN' and `MAP_OUT' events; this change reduces
space wastage in the log.
Bump the hwpmc's ABI version to "2.0.00". Teach hwpmc(4) to
handle the map change callbacks.
Change the default per-cpu sample buffer size to hold
32 samples (up from 16).
Increment __FreeBSD_version.
libpmc(3) changes:
Update libpmc(3) to deal with the new events in the log file; bring
the pmclog(3) manual page in sync with the code.
pmcstat(8) changes:
Introduce new options to pmcstat(8): "-r" (root fs path), "-M"
(mapfile name), "-q"/"-v" (verbosity control). Option "-k" now
takes a kernel directory as its argument but will also work with
the older invocation syntax.
Rework string handling in pmcstat(8) to use an opaque type for
interned strings. Clean up ELF parsing code and add support for
tracking dynamic object mappings reported by a v2.0.00 hwpmc(4).
Report statistics at the end of a log conversion run depending
on the requested verbosity level.

- pmcstat(8) gprof output mode fixes:
lib/libpmc/pmclog.{c,h}, sys/sys/pmclog.h:
+ Add a 'is_usermode' field to the PMCLOG_PCSAMPLE event
+ Add an 'entryaddr' field to the PMCLOG_PROCEXEC event,
so that pmcstat(8) can determine where the runtime loader
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 is getting loaded.
sys/kern/kern_exec.c:
+ Use a local struct to group the entry address of the image being
exec()'ed and the process credential changed flag to the exec
handling hook inside hwpmc(4).
usr.sbin/pmcstat/*:
+ Support "-k kernelpath", "-D sampledir".
+ Implement the ELF bits of 'gmon.out' profile generation in a new
file "pmcstat_log.c". Move all log related functions to this
file.
+ Move local definitions and prototypes to "pmcstat.h"
- Other bug fixes:
+ lib/libpmc/pmclog.c: correctly handle EOF in pmclog_read().
+ sys/dev/hwpmc_mod.c: unconditionally log a PROCEXIT event to all
attached PMCs when a process exits.
+ sys/sys/pmc.h: correct a function prototype.
