Description

pmc(3)/hwpmc(4): update supported Intel processors to rely fully on the
vendor provided pmu-events tables and sundry cleanups.

The vendor pmu-events tables provide counter descriptions, default
sample rates, event, umask, and flag values for all the counter
configuration permutations. Using this gives us:

  • much simpler kernel code for the MD component
  • helpful long and short event descriptions
  • simpler user code
  • sample rates that won't overload the system

Update man page with newer sample types and remove unused sample type.
