Frederic Weisbecker 1b290d670f perf tools: Add support for breakpoint events in perf tools
Add the breakpoint events support with this new sysnopsis:

  mem:addr[:access]

Where addr is a raw addr value in the kernel and access can be
either [r][w][x]

Example to profile tasklist_lock:

	$ grep tasklist_lock /proc/kallsyms
	ffffffff8189c000 D tasklist_lock

	$ perf record -e mem:0xffffffff8189c000:rw -a -f -c 1
	$ perf report

	# Samples: 62
	#
	# Overhead          Command  Shared Object  Symbol
	# ........  ...............  .............  ......
	#
	    29.03%          swapper  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_trylock
	    29.03%          swapper  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock
	    19.35%             init  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_trylock
	    19.35%             init  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock
	     1.61%         events/0  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_trylock
	     1.61%         events/0  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock

Coming soon:

 - Support for symbols in the event definition.

 - Default period to 1 for breakpoint events because these are
   not high frequency events. The same thing is needed for trace
   events.
