[PATCH v5 04/19] perf: aux: Add CoreSight PMU buffer formats

[Suzuki K Poulose]

CoreSight PMU supports aux-buffer for the ETM tracing. The trace
generated by the ETM (associated with individual CPUs, like Intel PT)
is captured by a separate IP (CoreSight TMC-ETR/ETF until now).

The TMC-ETR applies formatting of the raw ETM trace data, as it
can collect traces from multiple ETMs, with the TraceID to indicate
the source of a given trace packet.

Arm Trace Buffer Extension is new "sink" IP, attached to individual
CPUs and thus do not provide additional formatting, like TMC-ETR.

Additionally, a system could have both TRBE *and* TMC-ETR for
the trace collection. e.g, TMC-ETR could be used as a single
trace buffer to collect data from multiple ETMs to correlate
the traces from different CPUs. It is possible to have a
perf session where some events end up collecting the trace
in TMC-ETR while the others in TRBE. Thus we need a way
to identify the type of the trace for each AUX record.

Define the trace formats exported by the CoreSight PMU.
We don't define the flags following the "ETM" as this
information is available to the user when issuing
the session. What is missing is the additional
formatting applied by the "sink" which is decided
at the runtime and the user may not have a control on.

So we define :
 - CORESIGHT format (indicates the Frame format)
 - RAW format (indicates the format of the source)

The default value is CORESIGHT format for all the records
(i,e == 0). Add the RAW format for others that use
raw format.
