perf: Clean up power events by introducing new, more generic ones
Add these new power trace events:
power:cpu_idle
power:cpu_frequency
power:machine_suspend
The old C-state/idle accounting events:
power:power_start
power:power_end
Have now a replacement (but we are still keeping the old
tracepoints for compatibility):
power:cpu_idle
and
power:power_frequency
is replaced with:
power:cpu_frequency
power:machine_suspend is newly introduced.
Jean Pihet has a patch integrated into the generic layer
(kernel/power/suspend.c) which will make use of it.
the type= field got removed from both, it was never
used and the type is differed by the event type itself.
perf timechart userspace tool gets adjusted in a separate patch.
