Bug Description

Enable the Intel instruction trace (itrace), evaluate synthesizing perf events and samples from auxtrace buffe for s390x.
The auxtrace buffer contains the CPU-MF sampling data blocks that contains basic- and diagnostic sampling data entries. Similar to the cpum_sf PMU, parse the basic-sampling data entries and synthesize perf events/samples for each entry. This can be solely done in the perf tool.

Just verified that commit "perf report: Create auxiliary trace data files for s390" landed in disco-proposed kernel "Ubuntu-5.0.0-7.8" (as "766e061"). Hence updating status to Fix Committed.
