Now that there's a common version of the decoder for all tools, use it
instead of the local copy.
Also use perf's check-headers.sh script to diff the decoder files to
make sure they remain in sync with the kernel version. Objtool has a
similar check.
Committer notes:
Had to keep this all pointing explicitely to x86 headers/files, i.e.
instead of asm/isnn.h we had to use ../include/asm/insn.h when the files
were in differemt dirs, or just replace "<asm/foo.h>" with "foo.h".
This way we continue to be able to process perf.data files with Intel PT
traces in distros other than x86.
Also fixed up the awk script paths to use $(srcdir)/tools/arch instead
or relative directories so that we keep detached tarballs (make help |
grep perf) working.
For now the include lines in these headers are being ignored so as not
to flag false reports of kernel/tools out of sync.

perf tools has a copy of the x86 instruction decoder used by the kernel.
The expectation is that the copy will be kept more-or-less in-synch with
the kernel version. Consequently it is helpful to know if there are
differences.
This patch adds a check into the perf tools build so that a diff is done
on the sources, and a warning is printed if they are different. Note
that the warning is not fatal and the build continues as normal.
The check is done as part of building the instruction decoder, so, like
a compiler warning, it is not seen unless the instruction decoder has to
be re-compiled. e.g.
$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null
$ echo "/* blah */" >> tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/inat_types.h
$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null
Warning: Intel PT: x86 instruction decoder differs from kernel
$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null

This is caused by tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/Build that, it tries
to generate $(OUTPUT)util/intel-pt-decoder/inat-tables.c atomatically
but forget to ensure the existance of $(OUTPUT)util/intel-pt-decoder
directory.
This patch fixes it by adding $(call rule_mkdir) like other similar rules.

Add support for decoding an Intel Processor Trace.
Intel PT trace data must be 'decoded' which involves walking the object
code and matching the trace data packets.
The decoder requests a buffer of binary data via a get_trace()
call-back, which it decodes using instruction information which it gets
via another call-back walk_insn().

Add support for decoding instructions for Intel Processor Trace. The
kernel x86 instruction decoder is copied for this.
This essentially provides intel_pt_get_insn() which takes a binary
buffer, uses the kernel's x86 instruction decoder to get details of the
instruction and then categorizes it for consumption by an Intel PT
decoder.
