perf tools: Add AVX-512 support to the instruction decoder used by In…
…tel PT Add support for Intel's AVX-512 instructions to perf tools instruction decoder used by Intel PT. The kernel's instruction decoder was updated in a previous patch. AVX-512 instructions are documented in Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference (February 2016). AVX-512 instructions are identified by a EVEX prefix which, for the purpose of instruction decoding, can be treated as though it were a 4-byte VEX prefix. Existing instructions which can now accept an EVEX prefix need not be further annotated in the op code map (x86-opcode-map.txt). In the case of new instructions, the op code map is updated accordingly. Also add associated Mask Instructions that are used to manipulate mask registers used in AVX-512 instructions. A representative set of instructions is added to the perf tools new instructions test in a subsequent patch.
