Subject: perf record ibs: Warn about sampling period skew
Git-commit: 9ab95b0b15a092abb7c3309f3580f572a041f9ab
References: jsc#SLE-24578
X-Info: adjust for context, no 151e7d75036b4e2ac0f33730bc1a5b3ff424d9a7 (perf record: Support sample-read topdown metric group for hybrid platforms)

Samples without an L3 miss are discarded and counter is reset with
random value (between 1-15 for fetch PMU and 1-127 for op PMU) when IBS
L3 miss filtering is enabled. This causes a sampling period skew but
there is no way to reconstruct aggregated sampling period. So print a
warning at perf record if user sets l3missonly=1.
Ex:
# perf record -c 10000 -C 0 -e ibs_op/l3missonly=1/
WARNING: Hw internally resets sampling period when L3 Miss Filtering is enabled
and tagged operation does not cause L3 Miss. This causes sampling period skew.
