perf, x86: Improve the PEBS ABI
Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:
0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid
And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation
now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup.
Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit
should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual
instruction triggering the event.
This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more
than a single event.
