perf/x86/amd: Add support for Large Increment per Cycle Events

Description of hardware operation
---------------------------------

The core AMD PMU has a 4-bit wide per-cycle increment for each
performance monitor counter.  That works for most events, but
now with AMD Family 17h and above processors, some events can
occur more than 15 times in a cycle.  Those events are called
"Large Increment per Cycle" events. In order to count these
events, two adjacent h/w PMCs get their count signals merged
to form 8 bits per cycle total.  In addition, the PERF_CTR count
registers are merged to be able to count up to 64 bits.

Normally, events like instructions retired, get programmed on a single
counter like so:

PERF_CTL0 (MSR 0xc0010200) 0x000000000053ff0c # event 0x0c, umask 0xff
PERF_CTR0 (MSR 0xc0010201) 0x0000800000000001 # r/w 48-bit count

The next counter at MSRs 0xc0010202-3 remains unused, or can be used
independently to count something else.

When counting Large Increment per Cycle events, such as FLOPs,
however, we now have to reserve the next counter and program the
PERF_CTL (config) register with the Merge event (0xFFF), like so:

PERF_CTL0 (msr 0xc0010200) 0x000000000053ff03 # FLOPs event, umask 0xff
PERF_CTR0 (msr 0xc0010201) 0x0000800000000001 # rd 64-bit cnt, wr lo 48b
PERF_CTL1 (msr 0xc0010202) 0x0000000f004000ff # Merge event, enable bit
PERF_CTR1 (msr 0xc0010203) 0x0000000000000000 # wr hi 16-bits count

The count is widened from the normal 48-bits to 64 bits by having the
second counter carry the higher 16 bits of the count in its lower 16
bits of its counter register.

The odd counter, e.g., PERF_CTL1, is programmed with the enabled Merge
event before the even counter, PERF_CTL0.

The Large Increment feature is available starting with Family 17h.
For more details, search any Family 17h PPR for the "Large Increment
per Cycle Events" section, e.g., section 2.1.15.3 on p. 173 in this
version:

Description of software operation
---------------------------------

The following steps are taken in order to support reserving and
enabling the extra counter for Large Increment per Cycle events:

1. In the main x86 scheduler, we reduce the number of available
counters by the number of Large Increment per Cycle events being
scheduled, tracked by a new cpuc variable 'n_pair' and a new
amd_put_event_constraints_f17h().  This improves the counter
scheduler success rate.

2. In perf_assign_events(), if a counter is assigned to a Large
Increment event, we increment the current counter variable, so the
counter used for the Merge event is removed from assignment
consideration by upcoming event assignments.

3. In find_counter(), if a counter has been found for the Large
Increment event, we set the next counter as used, to prevent other
events from using it.

4. We perform steps 2 & 3 also in the x86 scheduler fastpath, i.e.,
we add Merge event accounting to the existing used_mask logic.

5. Finally, we add on the programming of Merge event to the
neighbouring PMC counters in the counter enable/disable{_all}
code paths.

Currently, software does not support a single PMU with mixed 48- and
64-bit counting, so Large increment event counts are limited to 48
bits.  In set_period, we zero-out the upper 16 bits of the count, so
the hardware doesn't copy them to the even counter's higher bits.

Simple invocation example showing counting 8 FLOPs per 256-bit/%ymm
vaddps instruction executed in a loop 100 million times:

perf stat -e cpu/fp_ret_sse_avx_ops.all/,cpu/instructions/ <workload>

 Performance counter stats for '<workload>':

       800,000,000      cpu/fp_ret_sse_avx_ops.all/u
       300,042,101      cpu/instructions/u

Prior to this patch, the reported SSE/AVX FLOPs retired count would
be wrong.
