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.

Also employ the overflow handler to adjust the frequency, this results
in a stable frequency in about 40~50 samples, instead of that many ticks.
This also means we can start sampling at a sample period of 1 without
running head-first into the throttle.
It relies on sched_clock() to accurately measure the time difference
between the overflow NMIs.

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.)

drm_helper_connector_dpms.
Making the drm_crtc.c code recognize the DPMS property and invoke the
connector->dpms function doesn't remove any capability from the driver while
reducing code duplication.
That just highlighted the problem with the existing DPMS functions which
could turn off the connector, but failed to turn off any relevant crtcs. The
new drm_helper_connector_dpms function manages all of that, using the
drm_helper-specific crtc and encoder dpms functions, automatically computing
the appropriate DPMS level for each object in the system.
This fixes the current troubles in the i915 driver which left PLLs, pipes
and planes running while in DPMS_OFF mode or even while they were unused.

This fixes the cpu migration software counter to count
correctly even when contexts get swapped from one task to
another. Previously the cpu migration counts reported by perf
stat were bogus, ranging from negative to several thousand for
a single "lat_ctx 2 8 32" run. With this patch the cpu
migration count reported for "lat_ctx 2 8 32" is almost always
between 35 and 44.
This fixes the problem by adding a call into the perf_counter
code from set_task_cpu when tasks are migrated. This enables
us to use the generic swcounter code (with some modifications)
for the cpu migration counter.
This modifies the swcounter code to allow a NULL regs pointer
to be passed in to perf_swcounter_ctx_event() etc. The cpu
migration counter does this because there isn't necessarily a
pt_regs struct for the task available. In this case, the
counter will not have interrupt capability - but the migration
counter didn't have interrupt capability before, so this is no
loss.

This abstracts out the code for locking the context associated
with a task. Because the context might get transferred from
one task to another concurrently, we have to check after
locking the context that it is still the right context for the
task and retry if not. This was open-coded in
find_get_context() and perf_counter_init_task().
This adds a further function for pinning the context for a
task, i.e. marking it so it can't be transferred to another
task. This adds a 'pin_count' field to struct
perf_counter_context to indicate that a context is pinned,
instead of the previous method of setting the parent_gen count
to all 1s. Pinning the context with a pin_count is easier to
undo and doesn't require saving the parent_gen value. This
also adds a perf_unpin_context() to undo the effect of
perf_pin_task_context() and changes perf_counter_init_task to
use it.

mapping->tree_lock can be acquired from interrupt context. Then,
following dead lock can occur.
Assume "A" as a page.
CPU0:
lock_page_cgroup(A)
interrupted
-> take mapping->tree_lock.
CPU1:
take mapping->tree_lock
-> lock_page_cgroup(A)
This patch tries to fix above deadlock by moving memcg's hook to out of
mapping->tree_lock. charge/uncharge of pagecache/swapcache is protected
by page lock, not tree_lock.
After this patch, lock_page_cgroup() is not called under mapping->tree_lock.

Testing the i7300_idle driver on i5000-series hardware required
an edit to i7300_idle.h to "#define SUPPORT_I5000 1" and a re-build
of both i7300_idle and ioat_dma.
Replace that build-time scheme with a load-time module parameter:
"7300_idle.forceload=1" to make it easier to test the driver
on hardware that while not officially validated, works fine
and is much more commonly available.
By default (no modparam) the driver will continue to load
only on the i7300.
Note that ioat_dma runs a copy of i7300_idle's probe routine
to know to reserve an IOAT channel for i7300_idle.
This change makes ioat_dma do that always on the i5000,
just like it does on the i7300.

Commit 564c2b21 ("perf_counter: Optimize context switch between
identical inherited contexts") introduced a race where it is possible
that a counter being attached to a task could get attached to the
wrong task, if the task is one that has inherited its context from
another task via fork. This happens because the optimized context
switch could switch the context to another task after find_get_context
has read task->perf_counter_ctxp. In fact, it's possible that the
context could then get freed, if the other task then exits.
This fixes the problem by protecting both the context switch and the
critical code in find_get_context with spinlocks. The context switch
locks the cxt->lock of both the outgoing and incoming contexts before
swapping them. That means that once code such as find_get_context
has obtained the spinlock for the context associated with a task,
the context can't get swapped to another task. However, the context
may have been swapped in the interval between reading
task->perf_counter_ctxp and getting the lock, so it is necessary to
check and retry.
To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in
find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code
to use RCU. Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no
contexts can get freed. This part of the patch is lifted from a patch
posted by Peter Zijlstra.
This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a
task that is exiting.
There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and
find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that
was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context,
so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it
won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task. It
doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached
to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context
from the task. They will just stay there and never get scheduled in
until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove
them from the context and eventually free the context.
With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather
than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually,
we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a
context). We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a
context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned
context.
This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter
Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a
full barrier anyway.

Introduce a generic per counter interrupt throttle.
This uses the perf_counter_overflow() quick disable to throttle a specific
counter when its going too fast when a pmu->unthrottle() method is provided
which can undo the quick disable.
Power needs to implement both the quick disable and the unthrottle method.
