struct perf_event_attr supports exclude counting of idle task. This is sent to kernel via perf_event_attr.exclude_idle and in perf tool, user can use ":I" event modifier to enable this for specific event. Monitor Mode Control Register 2 (MMCR2) SPR has control bits for each PMCs to freeze counting based on the Control Register CTRL[RUN] state. CTRL[RUN] is not set when idle task is running. Patch adds a check for event attr.exclude_idle to set MMCR2[FCnWAIT] bit.
