powerpc: Keep track of emulated instructions

Browse Source 
If CONFIG_PPC_EMULATED_STATS is enabled, make available counters for the
various classes of emulated instructions under
/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/ (assumed debugfs is mounted on
/sys/kernel/debug).  Optionally (controlled by
/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/do_warn), rate-limited warnings
can be printed to the console when instructions are emulated.

help
Adds code to keep track of the number of instructions that are
emulated by the in-kernel emulator. Counters for the various classes
of emulated instructions are available under
powerpc/emulated_instructions/ in the root of the debugfs file
system. Optionally (controlled by
powerpc/emulated_instructions/do_warn in debugfs), rate-limited
warnings can be printed to the console when instructions are
emulated.
