Subject: [PATCH v1 0/3] perf: Support compat mode for AUX ring buffer

For better organising and easier review, this patch series is extracted
from the patch set "perf: Refine barriers for AUX ring buffer" .  When
applying this patch series, it needs to be applied on the top of the
patch series [1].

To support the compat mode in perf tool, the patch 01 adds an new item
in "perf_env" to track if kernel is running in 64-bit mode.  This patch
is a preparation for later changes.

Patch 02 introduces compat variant functions for accessing AUX trace's
head and tail, these two functions are defined with weak attribute, so
they can be called when any architectures cannot provide 64-bit value
atomic accessing when perf is in compat mode.

Patch 03 supports compat_auxtrace_mmap__{read_head|write_tail} on Arm
platform.  For Arm platform with compat mode, the kernel runs in 64-bit
kernel mode and user space tool runs in 32-bit mode, it uses the
instructions "ldrd" and "strd" for 64-bit value atomicity.

This patch set have been tested on Arm64 Juno platform for the perf tool
is built with compiler arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc.
