The perf userspace tools can't handle dashes or spaces in PMU names,
which conflicts with the current naming scheme in the arm perf backend.
This prevents these PMUs from being accessed by name from the perf
tools. Additionally the ARMv6 pmus are named "v6", which does not fully
distinguish them in the sys/bus/event_source namespace.
This patch renames the PMUs consistently to a lower case form with
underscores, e.g. "armv6_1176", "armv7_cortex_a9". This is both readily
accepted by today's perf tool, and far easier to type than the
(apparently unused) convention in use previously. The OProfile name
conversion code is updated to handle this.
Due to a copy-paste error involving two "xscale1" entries, "xscale2" has
never been matched by the name OProfile name mapping. While we're
updating names, this is corrected.

The CPU PMU code is tightly coupled with generic ARM PMU handling code.
This makes it cumbersome when trying to add support for other ARM PMUs
(e.g. interconnect, L2 cache controller, bus) as the generic parts of
the code are not readily reusable.
This patch cleans up perf_event.c so that reusable code is exposed via
header files to other potential PMU drivers. The CPU code is
consistently named to identify it as such and also to prepare for moving
it into a separate file.

The CPU PMU is probed using the current cpuid information as part of the
early_initcall initialising the architecture perf backend. For
architectures without NMI (such as ARM), this does not need to be
performed early and can be deferred to the driver probe callback. This
also allows us to probe the devicetree in preference to parsing the
current cpuid, which may be invalid on a big.LITTLE multi-cluster
system.
This patch defers the PMU probing and uses the devicetree information
when available.

In order to provide PMU name strings compatible with the OProfile
user ABI, an enumeration of all PMUs is currently used by perf to
identify each PMU uniquely. Unfortunately, this does not scale well
in the presence of multiple PMUs and creates a single, global namespace
across all PMUs in the system.
This patch removes the enumeration and instead uses the name string
for the PMU to map onto the OProfile variant. perf_pmu_name is
implemented for CPU PMUs, which is all that OProfile cares about anyway.

We always need to pass the last sample period to
perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be
wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period
as argument. So basically a pattern like this:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL);
data.period = event->hw.last_period;
will now be like that:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period);
Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

On ARM, the PMU does not stop counting after an overflow and therefore
IRQ latency affects the new counter value read by the kernel. This is
significant for non-sampling runs where it is possible for the new value
to overtake the previous one, causing the delta to be out by up to
max_period events.
Commit a737823d ("ARM: 6835/1: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due
to IRQ latency") attempted to fix this problem by allowing interrupt
handlers to pass an overflow flag to the event update function, causing
the overflow calculation to assume that the counter passed through zero
when going from prev to new. Unfortunately, this doesn't work when
overflow occurs on the perf_task_tick path because we have the flag
cleared and end up computing a large negative delta.
This patch removes the overflow flag from armpmu_event_update and
instead limits the sample_period to half of the max_period for
non-sampling profiling runs.

Currently struct cpu_hw_events stores data on events running on a
PMU associated with a CPU. As this data is general enough to be used
for system PMUs, this name is a misnomer, and may cause confusion when
it is used for system PMUs.
Additionally, 'armpmu' is commonly used as a parameter name for an
instance of struct arm_pmu. The name is also used for a global instance
which represents the CPU's PMU.
As cpu_hw_events is now not tied to CPU PMUs, it is renamed to
pmu_hw_events, with instances of it renamed similarly. As the global
'armpmu' is CPU-specfic, it is renamed to cpu_pmu. This should make it
clearer which code is generic, and which is coupled with the CPU.

Add a NODE level to the generic cache events which is used to measure
local vs remote memory accesses. Like all other cache events, an
ACCESS is HIT+MISS, if there is no way to distinguish between reads
and writes do reads only etc..
The below needs filling out for !x86 (which I filled out with
unsupported events).
I'm fairly sure ARM can leave it like that since it doesn't strike me as
an architecture that even has NUMA support. SH might have something since
it does appear to have some NUMA bits.
Sparc64, PowerPC and MIPS certainly want a good look there since they
clearly are NUMA capable.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

If a counter overflows during a perf stat profiling run it may overtake
the last known value of the counter:
0 prev new 0xffffffff
|----------|-------|----------------------|
In this case, the number of events that have occurred is
(0xffffffff - prev) + new. Unfortunately, the event update code will
not realise an overflow has occurred and will instead report the event
delta as (new - prev) which may be considerably smaller than the real
count.
This patch adds an extra argument to armpmu_event_update which indicates
whether or not an overflow has occurred. If an overflow has occurred
then we use the maximum period of the counter to calculate the elapsed
events.
