Add an index of AUX area tracing events within a perf.data file.
perf record uses a special user event PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND to
enable sorting of events in chunks instead of having to sort all events
altogether.
AUX area tracing events contain data that can span back to the very
beginning of the recording period. i.e. they do not obey the rules of
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND.
By adding an index, AUX area tracing events can be found in advance and
the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND approach works as usual.
The index is recorded with the auxtrace feature in the perf.data file.
A session reads the index but does not process it. An AUX area decoder
can queue all the AUX area data in advance using
auxtrace_queues__process_index() or otherwise process the index in some
custom manner.

Decoding AUX area data may involve walking object code. Rather than
repetitively decoding the same instructions, a cache can be used to
cache the results.
This patch implements a fairly generic hashtable with a 32-bit key that
could be used for other purposes as well.

In order to process AUX area tracing data in time order, the queue with
data with the lowest timestamp must be processed first. Provide a heap
to keep track of which queue that is.
As with the queues, a decoder does not have to use the heap, but Intel
BTS and Intel PT will use it.

Provide functions to queue AUX area tracing data buffers for processing.
A AUX area decoder need not use the queues, however Intel BTS and Intel
PT will use them.
There is one queue for each of the mmap buffers that were used for
recording. Because those mmaps were associated with per-cpu or
per-thread contexts, the data is time-ordered with respect to those
contexts.

It is assumed that AUX area decoding will synthesize events for
consumption by other tools.
At this time, the main use of AUX area tracing will be to capture
instruction trace (aka processor trace) data.
The nature of instruction tracing suggests the initial inclusion of
options for "instructions" and "branches" events, but more could be
added as needed.

Hook into session processing so that AUX area decoding can synthesize
events transparently to the tools.
The advantages of transparent decoding are that tools can be used
directly with perf.data files containing AUX area tracing data, which is
easier for the user and more efficient than having a separate decoding
tool.
This will work as follows:
1. Tools will feed auxtrace events to the decoder using
perf_tool->auxtrace() (support for that still to come).
2. The decoder can process side-band events as needed due
to the auxtrace->process_event() hook.
3. The decoder can deliver synthesized events into the
event stream using perf_session__deliver_synth_event().
Note the expectation is that decoding will work on data that is
time-ordered with respect to the per-cpu or per-thread contexts that
were recorded.

Add support for reading from the AUX area tracing mmap and synthesizing
AUX area tracing events.
This patch introduces an abstraction for recording AUX area data.
Recording is initialized by auxtrace_record__init() which is a weak
function to be implemented by the architecture to provide recording
callbacks.
Recording is mainly handled by auxtrace_mmap__read() and
perf_event__synthesize_auxtrace() but there are callbacks for
miscellaneous needs including validating and processing user options,
populating private data in auxtrace_info_event, and freeing the
structure when finished.

This patch supports the addition to the kernel of AUX area buffers that
can be mmapped separately from the perf-events buffer.
The AUX buffer can be configured to contain hardware-produced trace
information. The first implementation will support Intel BTS and Intel
PT.
One auxtrace buffer is mmapped per perf-events buffer. If the requested
auxtrace buffer size is zero, which it will be until further support is
added, then no auxtrace mmapping is attempted.
