Add support for s390 auxiliary trace support.
Use 'perf record -e rbd000' to create the perf.data file. The event
also has the symbolic name SF_CYCLES_BASIC_DIAG, using 'perf record -e
SF_CYCLES_BASIC_DIAG' is equivalent.
Use 'perf report -D' to display the auxiliary trace data.

This output is shown for every sampled data block. The
output contains the
- basic-sampling data entry
- diagnostic-sampling data entry
- trailer entry
The basic sampling entry and diagnostic sampling entry sizes can be
extracted using the trailer entries in the SDB. On older hardware these
values (bsdes and dsdes in the trailer entry) are reserved and zero.
Older hardware use hard coded values based on the s390 machine type.

Add initial support for s390 auxiliary traces using the CPU-Measurement
Sampling Facility.
Support and ignore PERF_REPORT_AUXTRACE_INFO records in the perf data
file. Later patches will show the contents of the auxiliary traces.
Setup the auxtrace queues and data structures for s390. A raw dump of
the perf.data file now does not show an error when an auxtrace event is
encountered.

Additional notes about the underlying hardware and software
implementation, provided by Hendrik Brueckner (see Link: below).
=============================================================================
The CPU-Measurement Facility (CPU-MF) provides a set of functions to obtain
performance information on the mainframe. Basically, it was introduced
with System z10 years ago for the z/Architecture, that means, 64-bit.
For Linux, there are two facilities of interest, counter facility and sampling
facility. The counter facility provides hardware counters for instructions,
cycles, crypto-activities, and many more.
The sampling facility is a hardware sampler that when started will write
samples at a particular interval into a sampling buffer. At some point,
for example, if a sample block is full, it generates an interrupt to collect
samples (while the sampler continues to run).
Few years ago, I started to provide the a perf PMU to use the counter
and sampling facilities. Recently, the device driver was updated to also
"export" the sampling buffer into the AUX area. Thomas now completed the
related perf work to interpret and process these AUX data.
If people are more interested in the sampling facility, they can have a
look into:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg26fcd1cc32246f4c8852574ce0044734a
and to learn how-to use it for Linux on Z, have look at chapter 54,
"Using the CPU-measurement facilities" in the:
