Fill in amd_hw_cache_event_id[] with the AMD CPU specific events,
for family 0x0f, 0x10 and 0x11.
There's apparently no distinction between load and store events, so
we only fill in the load events.

Fill in core2_hw_cache_event_id[] with the Atom model specific events.
The events can be used in all the tools via the -e (--event) parameter,
for example "-e l1-misses" or -"-e l2-accesses" or "-e l2-write-misses".
( Note: these are straight from the Intel manuals - not tested yet.)

On architectures/CPUs without PMU support but with perfcounters
enabled 'perf record' currently fails because it cannot create a
cycle based hw-perfcounter.
Fall back to the cpu-clock-tick sw-perfcounter in this case, which
is hrtimer based and will always work (as long as perfcounters
are enabled).

The first snapshot reading often occur before any events have
been read in the mapped perfcounter files.
Just wait until we have at least one event before starting the
snapshot, or the delay before the first set of entries to be
displayed may be long in case of low refresh rate.
Note: we could also use a semaphore to wait before
"print_entries" number of eveents is reached, but again this
value is tunable and we can't ensure we will even reach it.
Also we could base on a default mimimum set of entries for the
first refresh, say 15, but again, the minimal sample is
tunable, and we could end up displaying nothing until we have a
minimal default set of events, which can take some time in case
of high samples filters.
Hence this simple solution which partially covers the default
case.

Right now kernel debug info does not get resolved by default, because
we dont know where to look for the vmlinux.
The -k option can be used for that - but if no option is given, pick
up vmlinux files in the current directory - in case a kernel hacker
runs profiling from the source directory that the kernel was built in.
The real solution would be to embedd the location (and perhaps the
date/timestamp) of the vmlinux file in /proc/kallsyms, so that
tools can pick it up automatically.

Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE
method.
This is a 3-dimensional space:
{ L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x
{ load, store, prefetch } x
{ accesses, misses }
User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides
a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the
combination makes sense.)
Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL.
Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP.
Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol
parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and
access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are
both valid aliases.
( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in,
and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. )

Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of
bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config.
Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field.
Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits
all around counter attribute management.
The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier
to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup).
(This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.)
(PowerPC build-tested.)

In order to make arch_vma_name() work from inside
install_special_mapping() we need to set the context.vdso
before calling it.
( This is needed for performance counters to be able to track
this special executable area. )

Commit 8e3747c1 ("perf_counter: Change data head from u32 to u64")
changed the type of 'head' in struct perf_mmap_data from atomic_t
to atomic_long_t, but missed converting one use of atomic_read on
it to atomic_long_read. The effect of using atomic_read rather than
atomic_long_read on powerpc (and other big-endian architectures) is
that we get the high half of the 64-bit quantity, resulting in the
cmpxchg retry loop in perf_output_begin spinning forever as soon as
data->head becomes non-zero. On little-endian architectures such as
x86 we would get the low half, resulting in a lockup once data->head
becomes greater than 4G.
This fixes it by using atomic_long_read rather than atomic_read.

While running 20 parallel instances of dd as follows:
#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 1 20`; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/hda3/dd_$i bs=1073741824 count=1 &
done
wait
on a 16G machine, we noticed that rather than just killing the processes,
the entire kernel went down. Stracing dd reveals that it first does an
mmap2, which makes 1GB worth of zero page mappings. Then it performs a
read on those pages from /dev/zero, and finally it performs a write.
The machine died during the reads. Looking at the code, it was noticed
that /dev/zero's read operation had been changed by
557ed1fa2620dc119adb86b34c614e152a629a80 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") from giving
zero page mappings to actually zeroing the page.
The zeroing of the pages causes physical pages to be allocated to the
process. But, when the process exhausts all the memory that it can, the
kernel cannot kill it, as it is still in the kernel mode allocating more
memory. Consequently, the kernel eventually crashes.
To fix this, I propose that when a fatal signal is pending during
/dev/zero read operation, we simply return and let the user process die.

perf top is refreshed every delay_secs the thread runs in such
loop:
while (sleep(delay_secs)) {
print_sym_table();
}
At the end of print_sym_table(), poll is used without sleep delay
to check if we have something from stdin.
It means that this check is done only every delay_secs, which can
be higher that 2 secs if the user defined a custom refresh rate.
We can drop sleep() here and directly use poll to wait between
refresh periods, so that the reaction after the user stops perf top
after typing "Enter" is immediate and doesn't suffer from the
delay_secs latency.
Nb: poll doesn't add any overhead that can parasite perf top measures
since it sleeps the entire timeout here.

switch_to_new_gdt() sets up %fs for us properly too.
