perf jit: Add support for using TSC as a timestamp

2016-04-01T21:42:55+00:00

Intel PT uses TSC as a timestamp, so add support for using TSC instead
of the monotonic clock.  Use of TSC is selected by an environment
variable "JITDUMP_USE_ARCH_TIMESTAMP" and flagged in the jitdump file
with flag JITDUMP_FLAGS_ARCH_TIMESTAMP.

perf tools: Add time conversion event

2016-03-31T13:52:24+00:00

Intel PT uses the time members from the perf_event_mmap_page to convert
between TSC and perf time.

Due to a lack of foresight when Intel PT was implemented, those time
members were recorded in the (implementation dependent) AUXTRACE_INFO
event, the structure of which is generally inaccessible outside of the
Intel PT decoder.  However now the conversion between TSC and perf time
is needed when processing a jitdump file when Intel PT has been used for
tracing.

So add a user event to record the time members.  'perf record' will
synthesize the event if the information is available.  And session
processing will put a copy of the event on the session so that tools
like 'perf inject' can easily access it.

perf tools: Allow TSC conversion on any arch

2014-07-17T15:59:00+00:00

It is possible to record a perf.data file on one architecture and
process it on another.

Consequently, TSC conversion functions need to be moved out of the arch
directory.
