    perf intel-pt: pkt-decoder: Add CFE and EVD packets · 2750af50
    Adrian Hunter authored
    As of Intel SDM (https://www.intel.com/sdm) version 076, there is a new
    Intel PT feature called Event Trace which requires 2 new packets CFE and
    EVD. Add them to the packet decoder and packet decoder test.
    
    Committer notes:
    
    I got the "Intel® 64 and IA-32 architectures software developer’s manual
    combined volumes: 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 4" PDF at:
    
      https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/671200
    
    And these new packets are described in page 3951:

    Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the asynchronous
    events, when they are generated, and when their corresponding software
    event handler completes execution. These include:
    
    o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt vector when
    defined.
    
    o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector.
    
    — Page faults additionally include the page fault address, when in context.
    
    o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM.
    
    o VM exits and VM entries.¹
    
    — VM exits include the values written to the “exit reason” and “exit qualification” VMCS fields.
    INIT and SIPI events.
    
    o TSX aborts, including the abort status returned for the RTM instructions.
    
    o Shutdown.
    
    Additionally, it provides indication of the status of the Interrupt Flag
    (IF), to indicate when interrupts are masked.
