[RFC PATCH V2 8/9] perf evsel, tsc: Support the monotonic raw clock conversion

From: kan . liang
Date: Mon Feb 13 2023 - 14:08:32 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The cap_user_time_mono_raw indicates that the kernel relies on the perf
tool to convert the HW time to the monotonic raw clock.
Add tsc_to_monotonic_raw() to do the conversion.

The conversion information is stored in the session, which cannot be
read in evsel parsing. Add a pointor in the evlist to point to the
conversion information.
