CPUs support a large number of performance monitoring events (PMU events)
and often these events are very specific to an architecture/model of the
CPU. To use most of these PMU events with perf, we currently have to identify
them by their raw codes:

	perf stat -e r100f2 sleep 1

This patchset allows architectures to specify these PMU events in JSON
files located in 'tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/' of the mainline tree.
The events from the JSON files for the architecture are then built into
the perf binary.

At run time, perf identifies the specific set of events for the CPU and
creates "event aliases". These aliases allow users to specify events by
"name" as:

	perf stat -e pm_1plus_ppc_cmpl sleep 1

The file, 'tools/perf/pmu-events/README' in [PATCH 15/19] gives more
details.

Note:
	- All known events tables for the architecture are included in the
	  perf binary.

	- For architectures that don't have any JSON files, an empty mapping
	  table is created and they should continue to build.

Thanks to input from Andi Kleen, Jiri Olsa, Namhyung Kim and Ingo Molnar.

These patches are available from:

	https://github.com/sukadev/linux.git 
	
	Branch			Description
	------------------------------------------------------
	json-code-v21		Source Code only 
	json-code+data-v21	Both code and data (for build/test/pull)
	
NOTE: 	Only "source code" patches (i.e those in json-code-v21) are being
	emailed. Please pull the json-code+data-v21 branch for build/test.

Changelog[v21]
	- Rebase to recent perf/core
	- Group the PMU events supported by a CPU model into topics and
	  create a separate JSON file for each topic for each CPU (code
	  and input from Jiri Olsa).

Changelog[v20]
	- Rebase to recent perf/core
	- Add Patch 20/20 to allow perf-stat to work with the period= field

Changelog[v19]
	Rebase to recent perf/core; fix couple lines >80 chars.

Changelog[v18]
	Rebase to recent perf/core; fix minor merge conflicts.

Changelog[v17]
	Rebase to recent perf/core; couple of small fixes to processing Intel
	JSON files; allow case-insensitive PMU event names.

Changelog[v16]
	Rebase to recent perf/core; fix minor merge conflicts; drop 3 patches
	that were merged into perf/core.

Changelog[v15]
	Code changes:
	- Fix 'perf list' usage string and update man page.
	- Remove a redundant __maybe_unused tag.
	- Rebase to recent perf/core branch.

	Data files updates: json-files-5 branch
	- Rebase to perf/intel-json-files-5 from Andi Kleen
	- Add patch from Madhavan Srinivasan for couple more Powerpc models

Changelog[v14]
	Comments from Jiri Olsa:
	- Change parameter name/type for pmu_add_cpu_aliases (from void *data
	  to list_head *head)
	- Use asprintf() in file_name_to_tablename() and simplify/reorg code.
	- Use __weak definition from <linux/compile.h>
	- Use fopen() with mode "w" and eliminate unlink()
	- Remove minor TODO.
	- Add error check for return value from strdup() in print_pmu_events().
	- Move independent changes from patches 3,11,12 .. to separate patches
	  for easier review/backport.
	- Clarify mapfile's "header line support" in patch description.
	- Fix build failure with DEBUG=1

	Comment from Andi Kleen:
	- In tools/perf/pmu-events/Build, check for 'mapfile.csv' rather than
	  'mapfile*'

	Misc:
	- Minor changes/clarifications to tools/perf/pmu-events/README.


Changelog[v13]
	Version: Individual patches have their own history :-) that I am
	preserving. Patchset version (v13) is for overall patchset and is
	somewhat arbitrary.

	- Added support for "categories" of events to perf
	- Add mapfile, jevents build dependency on pmu-events.c
	- Silence jevents when parsing JSON files unless V=1 is specified
	- Cleanup error messages
	- Fix memory leak with ->cpuid
	- Rebase to Arnaldo's tree
	- Allow overriding CPUID via environment variable
	- Support long descriptions for events
	- Handle header line in mapfile.csv
	- Cleanup JSON files (trim PublicDescription if identical to/prefix of
	  BriefDescription field)
