Subjectperf: Add basic Skylake PMU support
Date
This patchkit adds support for the Intel Skylake core PMU to perf, documented in the
recently released SDM 054[1] Vol3, 17.9 and 18.12.

The main user visible feature is timed branch records, which allows to get cycle counts
for individual basic blocks, and a time stamp for PEBS records which improves
multi-record PEBS. The LBRs (branch records) also have been extended to 32, which allows
more accurate branch sampling and deeper call stacks.
