perf intel-pt: Add support for text poke events

Select text poke events when available and the kernel is being traced.
Process text poke events to invalidate entries in Intel PT's instruction
cache.

Example:

  The example requires kernel config:
    CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL=y
    CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y
    CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y

  Before:

    # perf record -o perf.data.before --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -m,64M &
    # cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
    0
    # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
    # cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
    1
    # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
    # cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
    0
    # kill %1
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.341 MB perf.data.before ]
    [1]+  Terminated                 perf record -o perf.data.before --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -m,64M
    # perf script -i perf.data.before --itrace=e >/dev/null
    Warning:
    474 instruction trace errors

  After:

    # perf record -o perf.data.after --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -m,64M &
    # cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
    0
    # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
    # cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
    1
    # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
    # cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
    0
    # kill %1
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.646 MB perf.data.after ]
    [1]+  Terminated                 perf record -o perf.data.after --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -m,64M
    # perf script -i perf.data.after --itrace=e >/dev/null

Example:

  The example requires kernel config:
    # CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER is not set

  Before:
    # perf record --kcore -m,64M -o t1 -a -e intel_pt//k &
    # perf probe __schedule
    Added new event:
      probe:__schedule     (on __schedule)

    You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

            perf record -e probe:__schedule -aR sleep 1

    # perf record -e probe:__schedule -aR sleep 1
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.026 MB perf.data (68 samples) ]
    # perf probe -d probe:__schedule
    Removed event: probe:__schedule
    # kill %1
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 41.268 MB t1 ]
    [1]+  Terminated                 perf record --kcore -m,64M -o t1 -a -e intel_pt//k
    # perf script -i t1 --itrace=e >/dev/null
    Warning:
    207 instruction trace errors

  After:
    # perf record --kcore -m,64M -o t1 -a -e intel_pt//k &
    # perf probe __schedule
    Added new event:
      probe:__schedule     (on __schedule)

    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.028 MB perf.data (107 samples) ]
    # perf probe -d probe:__schedule
    Removed event: probe:__schedule
    # kill %1
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 39.978 MB t1 ]
