If one CPU has no_way_out == 1, all other CPUs should have no_way_out
== 1. But despite global_nwo is read after mce_callin, global_nwo is
updated after mce_callin too. So it is possible that some CPU read
global_nwo before some other CPU update global_nwo, so that no_way_out
== 1 for some CPU, while no_way_out == 0 for some other CPU.
This patch fixes this race condition via moving mce_callin updating
after global_nwo updating, with a smp_wmb in between. A smp_rmb is
added between their reading too.

This patch introduces three boot options (no_cmci, dont_log_ce
and ignore_ce) to control handling for corrected errors.
The "mce=no_cmci" boot option disables the CMCI feature.
Since CMCI is a new feature so having boot controls to disable
it will be a help if the hardware is misbehaving.
The "mce=dont_log_ce" boot option disables logging for corrected
errors. All reported corrected errors will be cleared silently.
This option will be useful if you never care about corrected
errors.
The "mce=ignore_ce" boot option disables features for corrected
errors, i.e. polling timer and cmci. All corrected events are
not cleared and kept in bank MSRs.
Usually this disablement is not recommended, however it will be
a help if there are some conflict with the BIOS or hardware
monitoring applications etc., that clears corrected events in
banks instead of OS.

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.

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.)
