powerpc/perf: Add Power8 mem_access event to sysfs
Patch add "mem_access" event to sysfs. This as-is not a raw event supported by Power8 pmu. Instead, it is formed based on raw event encoding specificed in isa207-common.h. Primary PMU event used here is PM_MRK_INST_CMPL. This event tracks only the completed marked instructions. Random sampling mode (MMCRA[SM]) with Random Instruction Sampling (RIS) is enabled to mark type of instructions. With Random sampling in RLS mode with PM_MRK_INST_CMPL event, the LDST /DATA_SRC fields in SIER identifies the memory hierarchy level (eg: L1, L2 etc) statisfied a data-cache miss for a marked instruction.
