This adds the back-end for the PMU on POWER7 processors. POWER7
has 4 fully-programmable counters and two fixed-function counters
(which do respect the freeze conditions, can generate interrupts,
and are writable, unlike PMC5/6 on POWER5+/6).

We currently log hw.sample_period for PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, however this is
incorrect. When we adjust the period, it will only take effect the next
cycle but report it for the current cycle. So when we adjust the period
for every cycle, we're always wrong.
Solve this by keeping track of the last_period.

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.)

Commit b23f3325 ("perf_counter: Rename various fields") fixed up
most of the uses of the renamed fields, but missed one instance
of "record_type" in powerpc-specific code which needs to be changed
to "sample_type", and a "PERF_RECORD_ADDR" in the same statement that
needs to be changed to "PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR", causing compilation
errors on powerpc. This fixes it.

When using interrupting counters and limited (non-interrupting)
counters at the same time, it's possible that we get an
interrupt in write_mmcr0() after writing MMCR0 but before we
have set up the counters using limited PMCs. What happens then
is that we get into perf_counter_interrupt() with
counter->hw.idx = 0 for the limited counters, leading to the
"oops trying to read PMC0" error message being printed.
This fixes the problem by making perf_counter_interrupt()
robust against counter->hw.idx being zero (the counter is just
ignored in that case) and also by changing write_mmcr0() to
write MMCR0 initially with the counter overflow interrupt
enable bits masked (set to 0). If the MMCR0 value requested by
the caller has either of those bits set, we write MMCR0 again
with the requested value of those bits after setting up the
limited counters properly.

Commit ef923214 ("perf_counter: powerpc: use u64 for event
codes internally") introduced a bug where the return value from
function find_alternative_bdecode gets put into a u64 variable
and later tested to see if it is < 0. The effect is that we
get extra, bogus event code alternatives on POWER5 and POWER5+,
leading to error messages such as "oops compute_mmcr failed"
being printed and counters not counting properly.
This fixes it by using s64 for the return type of
find_alternative_bdecode and for the local variable that the
caller puts the value in. It also makes the event argument a
u64 on POWER5+ for consistency.

The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a
Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing
actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there),
or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single
PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual
address space.
This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically
locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole
in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that
area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes
from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but
grew its own fixes.

This implements interrupt throttling on powerpc. Since we don't have
individual count enable/disable or interrupt enable/disable controls
per counter, this simply sets the hardware counter to 0, meaning that
it will not interrupt again until it has counted 2^31 counts, which
will take at least 2^30 cycles assuming a maximum of 2 counts per
cycle. Also, we set counter->hw.period_left to the maximum possible
value (2^63 - 1), so we won't report overflows for this counter for
the forseeable future.
The unthrottle operation restores counter->hw.period_left and the
hardware counter so that we will once again report a counter overflow
after counter->hw.irq_period counts.

Commit 9e35ad38 ("perf_counter: Rework the perf counter
disable/enable") added code to the powerpc hw_perf_enable (renamed
from hw_perf_restore) to test cpuhw->disabled and return immediately
if it is not set (i.e. if the PMU is already enabled).
Unfortunately the test got added before cpuhw was initialized,
resulting in an oops the first time hw_perf_enable got called.
This fixes it by moving the initialization of cpuhw to before
cpuhw->disabled is tested.

After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function
graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes.
The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for
an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and
reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had
to be flagged as an "early clobber".
I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.

events
This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on
powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events,
including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified.
Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier
processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6
field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and
defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6)
and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor
uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier
positions. It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and
old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR
values come from the same instruction.
For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not
doing instruction sampling. In that case there is no guarantee
that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will
correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the
PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord.
If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter
is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply
the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it
corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the
PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. Otherwise we supply 0.

Although the perf_counter API allows 63-bit raw event codes,
internally in the powerpc back-end we had been using 32-bit
event codes. This expands them to 64 bits so that we can add
bits for specifying threshold start/stop events and instruction
sampling modes later.
This also corrects the return value of can_go_on_limited_pmc;
we were returning an event code rather than just a 0/1 value in
some circumstances. That didn't particularly matter while event
codes were 32-bit, but now that event codes are 64-bit it
might, so this fixes it.

The current disable/enable mechanism is:
token = hw_perf_save_disable();
...
/* do bits */
...
hw_perf_restore(token);
This works well, provided that the use nests properly. Except we don't.
x86 NMI/INT throttling has non-nested use of this, breaking things. Therefore
provide a reference counter disable/enable interface, where the first disable
disables the hardware, and the last enable enables the hardware again.

A couple of issues crept in since about 2.6.27 related to accessing PCI
device ROMs on various powerpc machines.
First, historically, we don't allocate the ROM resource in the resource
tree. I'm not entirely certain of why, I susepct they often contained
garbage on x86 but it's hard to tell. This causes the current generic
code to always call pci_assign_resource() when trying to access the said
ROM from sysfs, which will try to re-assign some new address regardless
of what the ROM BAR was already set to at boot time. This can be a
problem on hypervisor platforms like pSeries where we aren't supposed
to move PCI devices around (and in fact probably can't).
Second, our code that generates the PCI tree from the OF device-tree
(instead of doing config space probing) which we mostly use on pseries
at the moment, didn't set the (new) flag IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any
resource. That means that any attempt at re-assigning such a resource
with pci_assign_resource() would fail due to resource_alignment()
returning 0.
This fixes this by doing these two things:
- The code that calculates resource flags based on the OF device-node
is improved to set IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any valid BAR, and while at
it also set IORESOURCE_READONLY for ROMs since we were lacking that too
- We now allocate ROM resources as part of the resource tree. However
to limit the chances of nasty conflicts due to busted firmwares, we
only do it on the second pass of our two-passes allocation scheme,
so that all valid and enabled BARs get precedence.
This brings pSeries back the ability to access PCI ROMs via sysfs (and
thus initialize various video cards from X etc...).

commit 2657dd4e301d4841ed67a4fac7d145ad8f3e1b28 introduced a
bug where we would now always override the "real" oprofile CPU
type with the "compatible" one provided by a pseudo-PVR in the

Oprofile is changing the naming it is using for the compatibility modes.
Instead of having compat-power<x>, oprofile will go to family naming
convention and use ibm-compat-v<x>. Currently only ibm-compat-v1 will
be defined.
The notion of compatibility events just started with POWER6. So there is
no way that any other tool could exist that is using these
oprofile_cpu_type strings we want to change.

POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality:
PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles
in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1;
the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when
there is work to do.)
These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate
interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can
only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in
run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only
if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor
modes.
Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there
are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware
counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor
modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that
doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a
limited hardware counter.
To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the
processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined:
one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited
counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and
one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are
gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles"
event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags
are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base
field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing
unused field).
Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters,
we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted
on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize
this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6
immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in
a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function.
The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware
counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware
counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited
counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with
conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it
isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't.
This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to
handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

This patch renames struct hw_perf_counter_ops into struct pmu. It
introduces a structure to describe a cpu specific pmu (performance
monitoring unit). It may contain ops and data. The new name of the
structure fits better, is shorter, and thus better to handle. Where it
was appropriate, names of function and variable have been changed too.

This has the consequence of changing the section name use for head
code from ".text.head" to ".head.text". Since this commit changes all
users in the architecture, this change should be harmless.

Impact: fix potential deadlocks on powerpc
Now that the core is using in_nmi() (added in e30e08f6, "perf_counter:
fix NMI race in task clock"), we need the powerpc perf_counter_interrupt
to call nmi_enter() and nmi_exit() in those cases where the interrupt
happens when interrupts are soft-disabled.
If interrupts were soft-enabled, we can treat it as a regular interrupt
and do irq_enter/irq_exit around the whole routine. This lets us get rid
of the test_perf_counter_pending() call at the end of
perf_counter_interrupt, thus simplifying things a little.

Paul suggested we allow for data addresses to be recorded along with
the traditional IPs as power can provide these.
For now, only the software pagefault events provide data addresses,
but in the future power might as well for some events.
x86 doesn't seem capable of providing this atm.

Impact: enable access to hardware feature
POWER processors have the ability to "mark" a subset of the instructions
and provide more detailed information on what happens to the marked
instructions as they flow through the pipeline. This marking is
enabled by the "sample enable" bit in MMCRA, and there are
synchronization requirements around setting and clearing the bit.
This adds logic to the processor-specific back-ends so that they know
which events relate to marked instructions and set the sampling enable
bit if any event that we want to put on the PMU is a marked instruction
event. It also adds logic to the generic powerpc code to do the
necessary synchronization if that bit is set.

Commit 4af4998b ("perf_counter: rework context time") changed struct
perf_counter_context to have a 'time' field instead of a 'time_now'
field, but neglected to fix the place in the powerpc perf_counter.c
where the time_now field was accessed. This fixes it.

Conflicts:
arch/powerpc/include/asm/systbl.h
arch/powerpc/include/asm/unistd.h

Merge reason: the conflicts are non-trivial: PowerPC placement
of sys_perf_counter_open has to be mixed with the
new preadv/pwrite syscalls.

Prepare for more generic overflow handling. The new perf_counter_overflow()
method will handle the generic bits of the counter overflow, and can return
a !0 return value, in which case the counter should be (soft) disabled, so
that it won't count until it's properly disabled.
XXX: do powerpc and swcounter
