  1. tiptop: Add version 2.3.2

    [Description][1]:
    
    > Motivation
    >
    > Hardware performance monitoring counters have recently received a lot of
    > attention. They have been used by diverse communities to understand and improve
    > the quality of  computing systems: for example, architects use them to extract
    > application characteristics and propose new hardware mechanisms; compiler
    > writers study how generated code behaves on particular hardware; software
    > developers identify critical regions of their applications and evaluate design
    > choices to select the best performing implementation. We propose that counters
    > be used by all categories of users, in particular non-experts, and we advocate
    > that a few simple metrics derived from these counters are relevant and useful.
    > For example, a low IPC (number of executed instructions per cycle) indicates
    > that the hardware is not performing at its best; a high cache miss ratio can
    > suggest several causes, such as conflicts between processes in a multicore
    > environment.
    >
    > Features
    >
    > *   No root privilege needed
    > *   No patch to OS
    > *   No module to load
    > *   No need to instrument applications
    > *   No need to even restart applications
    > *   Any event supported by the hardware
    >     *   some predefined: instructions, cycles, LLC misses (easy)
    >     *   any hardware supported event (slightly harder)
    > *   Live mode and batch mode
    > *   Configure file to define counters and screens
    > *   Pretty much like top
