    perf tools: Support pipeline stage cycles for powerpc · 06e5ca74
    Athira Rajeev authored
    The pipeline stage cycles details can be recorded on powerpc from the
    contents of Performance Monitor Unit (PMU) registers. On ISA v3.1
    platform, sampling registers exposes the cycles spent in different
    pipeline stages. Patch adds perf tools support to present two of the
    cycle counter information along with memory latency (weight).
    
    Re-use the field 'ins_lat' for storing the first pipeline stage cycle.
    This is stored in 'var2_w' field of 'perf_sample_weight'.
    
    Add a new field 'p_stage_cyc' to store the second pipeline stage cycle
    which is stored in 'var3_w' field of perf_sample_weight.
    
    Add new sort function 'Pipeline Stage Cycle' and include this in
    default_mem_sort_order[]. This new sort function may be used to denote
    some other pipeline stage in another architecture. So add this to list
    of sort entries that can have dynamic header string.
