We can leverage the workqueue that we use for RMID rotation to support
scheduling of conflicting monitoring events. Allowing events that
monitor conflicting things is done at various other places in the perf
subsystem, so there's precedent there.
An example of two conflicting events would be monitoring a cgroup and
simultaneously monitoring a task within that cgroup.
This uses the cache_groups list as a queuing mechanism, where every
event that reaches the front of the list gets the chance to be scheduled
in, possibly descheduling any conflicting events that are running.

There are many use cases where people will want to monitor more tasks
than there exist RMIDs in the hardware, meaning that we have to perform
some kind of multiplexing.
We do this by "rotating" the RMIDs in a workqueue, and assigning an RMID
to a waiting event when the RMID becomes unused.
This scheme reserves one RMID at all times for rotation. When we need to
schedule a new event we give it the reserved RMID, pick a victim event
from the front of the global CQM list and wait for the victim's RMID to
drop to zero occupancy, before it becomes the new reserved RMID.
We put the victim's RMID onto the limbo list, where it resides for a
"minimum queue time", which is intended to save ourselves an expensive
smp IPI when the RMID is unlikely to have a occupancy value below
__intel_cqm_threshold.
If we fail to recycle an RMID, even after waiting the minimum queue time
then we need to increment __intel_cqm_threshold. There is an upper bound
on this threshold, __intel_cqm_max_threshold, which is programmable from
userland as /sys/devices/intel_cqm/max_recycling_threshold.
The comments above __intel_cqm_rmid_rotate() have more details.

Add support for task events as well as system-wide events. This change
has a big impact on the way that we gather LLC occupancy values in
intel_cqm_event_read().
Currently, for system-wide (per-cpu) events we defer processing to
userspace which knows how to discard all but one cpu result per package.
Things aren't so simple for task events because we need to do the value
aggregation ourselves. To do this, we defer updating the LLC occupancy
value in event->count from intel_cqm_event_read() and do an SMP
cross-call to read values for all packages in intel_cqm_event_count().
We need to ensure that we only do this for one task event per cache
group, otherwise we'll report duplicate values.
If we're a system-wide event we want to fallback to the default
perf_event_count() implementation. Refactor this into a common function
so that we don't duplicate the code.
Also, introduce PERF_TYPE_INTEL_CQM, since we need a way to track an
event's task (if the event isn't per-cpu) inside of the Intel CQM PMU
driver. This task information is only availble in the upper layers of
the perf infrastructure.
Other perf backends stash the target task in event->hw.*target so we
need to do something similar. The task is used to determine whether
events should share a cache group and an RMID.

It's possible to run into issues with re-using unused monitoring IDs
because there may be stale cachelines associated with that ID from a
previous allocation. This can cause the LLC occupancy values to be
inaccurate.
To attempt to mitigate this problem we place the IDs on a least recently
used list, essentially a FIFO. The basic idea is that the longer the
time period between ID re-use the lower the probability that stale
cachelines exist in the cache.

Future Intel Xeon processors support a Cache QoS Monitoring feature that
allows tracking of the LLC occupancy for a task or task group, i.e. the
amount of data in pulled into the LLC for the task (group).
Currently the PMU only supports per-cpu events. We create an event for
each cpu and read out all the LLC occupancy values.
Because this results in duplicate values being written out to userspace,
we also export a .per-pkg event file so that the perf tools only
accumulate values for one cpu per package.
