perf/x86: Add new event for AUX output counter index
PEBS-via-PT records contain a mask of applicable counters. To identify which event belongs to which counter, a side-band event is needed. Until now, there has been no side-band event, and consequently users were limited to using a single event. Add such a side-band event. Note the event is optimised to output only when the counter index changes for an event. That works only so long as all PEBS-via-PT events are scheduled together, which they are for a recording session because they are in a single group. Also no attribute bit is used to select the new event, so a new kernel is not compatible with older perf tools. The assumption being that PEBS-via-PT is sufficiently esoteric that users will not be troubled by this.
