commit 2750af50a3 upstream.
As of Intel SDM (https://www.intel.com/sdm) version 076, there is a new
Intel PT feature called Event Trace which requires 2 new packets CFE and
EVD. Add them to the packet decoder and packet decoder test.
Committer notes:
I got the "Intel® 64 and IA-32 architectures software developer’s manual
combined volumes: 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 4" PDF at:
https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/671200
And these new packets are described in page 3951:

Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the asynchronous
events, when they are generated, and when their corresponding software
event handler completes execution. These include:
o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt vector when
defined.
o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector.
— Page faults additionally include the page fault address, when in context.
o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM.
o VM exits and VM entries.¹
— VM exits include the values written to the “exit reason” and “exit qualification” VMCS fields.
INIT and SIPI events.
o TSX aborts, including the abort status returned for the RTM instructions.
o Shutdown.
Additionally, it provides indication of the status of the Interrupt Flag
(IF), to indicate when interrupts are masked.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
