[PATCH 0/2] powerpc/perf: Add support for perf extended regs in powerpc

[Anju T Sudhakar]

Patch set to add support for perf extended register capability in
powerpc. The capability flag PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS, is used to
indicate the PMU which support extended registers. The generic code
define the mask of extended registers as 0 for non supported architectures.

patch 2/2 defines this PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS mask to output the
values of mmcr0,mmcr1,mmcr2 for POWER9.                
                                                                           
x86/perf_regs.h is included by util/intel-pt.c, which will get compiled       
when buiding perf on powerpc. Since x86/perf_regs.h has                    
`PERF_EXTENDED_REG_MASK` defined, defining `PERF_EXTENDED_REG_MASK` for       
powerpc to add support for perf extended regs will result in perf build       
error on powerpc. Currently powerpc architecture is not having support
for auxtrace. So as a workaround for this issue, patch 1/2 set
NO_AUXTRACE for powerpc. (Any other solutions are welcome.)

Patch 2/2 also add extended regs to sample_reg_mask in the tool side to use
with `-I?` option.
