39447b386c perf: Enhance perf to allow for guest statistic collection from host
Below patch introduces perf_guest_info_callbacks and related
register/unregister functions. Add more PERF_RECORD_MISC_XXX bits
meaning guest kernel and guest user space.

a098f4484b perf, x86: implement ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL bit masks
ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL bit masks are often used in the kernel. This
patch adds macros for the bit masks and removes local defines. The
function intel_pmu_raw_event() becomes x86_pmu_raw_event() which is
generic for x86 models and same also for p6. Duplicate code is
removed.

948b1bb89a perf, x86: Undo some some *_counter* -> *_event* renames
The big rename:

 cdd6c48 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events

accidentally renamed some members of stucts that were named after
registers in the spec. To avoid confusion this patch reverts some
changes. The related specs are MSR descriptions in AMD's BKDGs and the
ARCHITECTURAL PERFORMANCE MONITORING section in the Intel 64 and IA-32
Architectures Software Developer's Manuals.

a072738e04 perf, x86: Implement initial P4 PMU driver
The netburst PMU is way different from the "architectural
perfomance monitoring" specification that current CPUs use.
P4 uses a tuple of ESCR+CCCR+COUNTER MSR registers to handle
perfomance monitoring events.

A few implementational details:

1) We need a separate x86_pmu::hw_config helper in struct
   x86_pmu since register bit-fields are quite different from P6,
   Core and later cpu series.

2) For the same reason is a x86_pmu::schedule_events helper
   introduced.

3) hw_perf_event::config consists of packed ESCR+CCCR values.
   It's allowed since in reality both registers only use a half
   of their size. Of course before making a real write into a
   particular MSR we need to unpack the value and extend it to
   a proper size.

4) The tuple of packed ESCR+CCCR in hw_perf_event::config
   doesn't describe the memory address of ESCR MSR register
   so that we need to keep a mapping between these tuples
   used and available ESCR (various P4 events may use same
   ESCRs but not simultaneously), for this sake every active
   event has a per-cpu map of hw_perf_event::idx <--> ESCR
   addresses.

5) Since hw_perf_event::idx is an offset to counter/control register
   we need to lift X86_PMC_MAX_GENERIC up, otherwise kernel
   strips it down to 8 registers and event armed may never be turned
   off (ie the bit in active_mask is set but the loop never reaches
   this index to check), thanks to Peter Zijlstra

Restrictions:

 - No cascaded counters support (do we ever need them?)
 - No dependent events support (so PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
   doesn't work for now)
 - There are events with same counters which can't work simultaneously
   (need to use intersected ones due to broken counter 1)
 - No PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_ events yet

Todo:

 - Implement dependent events
 - Need proper hashing for event opcodes (no linear search, good for
   debugging stage but not in real loads)
 - Some events counted during a clock cycle -- need to set threshold
   for them and count every clock cycle just to get summary statistics
   (ie to behave the same way as other PMUs do)
 - Need to swicth to use event_constraints
 - To support RAW events we need to encode a global list of P4 events
   into p4_templates
 - Cache events need to be added

Event support status matrix:

 Event			status
 -----------------------------
 cycles			works
 cache-references	works
 cache-misses		works
 branch-misses		works
 bus-cycles		partially (does not work on 64bit cpu with HT enabled)
 instruction		doesnt work (needs dependent event [mop tagging])
 branches		doesnt work

ef21f683a0 perf, x86: use LBR for PEBS IP+1 fixup
Use the LBR to fix up the PEBS IP+1 issue.

As said, PEBS reports the next instruction, here we use the LBR to find
the last branch and from that construct the actual IP. If the IP matches
the LBR-TO, we use LBR-FROM, otherwise we use the LBR-TO address as the
beginning of the last basic block and decode forward.

Once we find a match to the current IP, we use the previous location.

This patch introduces a new ABI element: PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT, which
conveys that the reported IP (PERF_SAMPLE_IP) is the exact instruction
that caused the event (barring CPU errata).

The fixup can fail due to various reasons:

 1) LBR contains invalid data (quite possible)
 2) part of the basic block got paged out
 3) the reported IP isn't part of the basic block (see 1)

b622d644c7 perf_events, x86: Fixup fixed counter constraints
Patch 1da53e0230 ("perf_events, x86: Improve x86 event scheduling")
lost us one of the fixed purpose counters and then ed8777fc13
("perf_events, x86: Fix event constraint masks") broke it even
further.

Widen the fixed event mask to event+umask and specify the full config
for each of the 3 fixed purpose counters. Then let the init code fill
out the placement for the GP regs based on the cpuid info.

1da53e0230 perf_events, x86: Improve x86 event scheduling
This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU
registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group.

The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each
event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e.,
works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any
counter.

Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via
this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic.

The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling
algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open().

The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running
the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual
assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is
implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

04a705df47 perf_events: Check for filters on fixed counter events
Intel fixed counters do not support all the filters possible with a
generic counter. Thus, if a fixed counter event is passed but with
certain filters set, then the fixed_mode_idx() function must fail
and the event must be measured in a generic counter instead.

Reject filters are: inv, edge, cnt-mask.

cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )
