Ravi Bangoria f7b58cbdb3 perf mem/c2c: Add load store event mappings for AMD
The 'perf mem' and 'perf c2c' tools are wrappers around 'perf record'
with mem load/ store events. IBS tagged load/store sample provides most
of the information needed for these tools. Wire in the "ibs_op//" event
as mem-ldst event for AMD.

There are some limitations though: Only load/store micro-ops provide
mem/c2c information. Whereas, IBS does not have a way to choose a
particular type of micro-op to tag. This results in many non-LS
micro-ops being tagged which appear as N/A in the perf report. IBS,
being an uncore pmu from kernel point of view[1], does not support per
process monitoring. Thus, perf mem/c2c on AMD are currently supported in
per-cpu mode only.

Example:

  $ sudo perf mem record -- -c 10000
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 227 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 58.760 MB perf.data (836978 samples) ]

  $ sudo perf mem report -F mem,sample,snoop
  Samples: 836K of event 'ibs_op//', Event count (approx.): 8418762
  Memory access                  Samples  Snoop
  N/A                             700620  N/A
  L1 hit                          126675  N/A
  L2 hit                             424  N/A
  L3 hit                             664  HitM
  L3 hit                              10  N/A
  Local RAM hit                        2  N/A
  Remote RAM (1 hop) hit            8558  N/A
  Remote Cache (1 hop) hit             3  N/A
  Remote Cache (1 hop) hit             2  HitM
  Remote Cache (2 hops) hit           10  HitM
  Remote Cache (2 hops) hit            6  N/A
  Uncached hit                         4  N/A
