71efb063f4 ARM: 6742/1: pmu: avoid setting IRQ affinity on UP systems
Now that we can execute a CONFIG_SMP kernel on a uniprocessor system,
extra care has to be taken in the PMU IRQ affinity setting code to
ensure that we don't always fail to initialise.

This patch changes the CPU PMU initialisation code so that when we
only have a single IRQ, whose affinity can not be changed at the
controller, we report success (0) rather than -EINVAL.

49c006b937 ARM: 6064/1: pmu: register IRQs at runtime
The current PMU infrastructure for ARM requires that the IRQs for the PMU
device are fixed at compile time and are selected based on the ARCH_ or MACH_ flags. This has the disadvantage of tying the Kernel down to a
particular board as far as profiling is concerned.

This patch replaces the compile-time IRQ registration with a runtime mechanism which allows the IRQs to be registered with the framework as
a platform_device.

A further advantage of this change is that there is scope for registering
different types of performance counters in the future by changing the id
of the platform_device and attaching different resources to it.

0f4f0672ac ARM: 5899/2: arm: provide a mechanism to reserve performance counters
To add support for perf events and to allow the hardware counters to be
shared with oprofile, we need a way to reserve access to the pmu
(performance monitor unit). Platforms with PMU interrupts should
register the interrupts in arch/arm/kernel/pmu.c
