perf_counter: Implement generalized cache event types

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. )

perf_counter: Fix lockup with interrupting counters

Commit 8e3747c1 ("perf_counter: Change data head from u32 to u64")
changed the type of 'head' in struct perf_mmap_data from atomic_t
to atomic_long_t, but missed converting one use of atomic_read on
it to atomic_long_read.  The effect of using atomic_read rather than
atomic_long_read on powerpc (and other big-endian architectures) is
that we get the high half of the 64-bit quantity, resulting in the
cmpxchg retry loop in perf_output_begin spinning forever as soon as
data->head becomes non-zero.  On little-endian architectures such as
x86 we would get the low half, resulting in a lockup once data->head
becomes greater than 4G.

perf report: Fix comm sorting

Since we can (and do) change comm strings during the collection
phase, we cannot actually sort on them to build the histogram.
Therefore add an (optional) third sorting phase to collapse the
histrogram.

Comm sorting now builds the histrogram on threads and then in
the collapse phase collects all threads with the same comm.

This collapsed histogram is then reversed and sorted on events.

perf_counter: powerpc: Fix race causing "oops trying to read PMC0" errors

When using interrupting counters and limited (non-interrupting)
counters at the same time, it's possible that we get an
interrupt in write_mmcr0() after writing MMCR0 but before we
have set up the counters using limited PMCs.  What happens then
is that we get into perf_counter_interrupt() with
counter->hw.idx = 0 for the limited counters, leading to the
"oops trying to read PMC0" error message being printed.

This fixes the problem by making perf_counter_interrupt()
robust against counter->hw.idx being zero (the counter is just
ignored in that case) and also by changing write_mmcr0() to
write MMCR0 initially with the counter overflow interrupt
enable bits masked (set to 0).  If the MMCR0 value requested by
the caller has either of those bits set, we write MMCR0 again
with the requested value of those bits after setting up the
limited counters properly.

perf_counter: powerpc: Fix event alternative code generation on POWER5/5+

Commit ef923214 ("perf_counter: powerpc: use u64 for event
codes internally") introduced a bug where the return value from
function find_alternative_bdecode gets put into a u64 variable
and later tested to see if it is < 0.  The effect is that we
get extra, bogus event code alternatives on POWER5 and POWER5+,
leading to error messages such as "oops compute_mmcr failed"
being printed and counters not counting properly.

This fixes it by using s64 for the return type of
find_alternative_bdecode and for the local variable that the
caller puts the value in.  It also makes the event argument a
u64 on POWER5+ for consistency.

perf_counter: Fix cpu migration counter

This fixes the cpu migration software counter to count
correctly even when contexts get swapped from one task to
another.  Previously the cpu migration counts reported by perf
stat were bogus, ranging from negative to several thousand for
a single "lat_ctx 2 8 32" run.  With this patch the cpu
migration count reported for "lat_ctx 2 8 32" is almost always
between 35 and 44.

This fixes the problem by adding a call into the perf_counter
code from set_task_cpu when tasks are migrated.  This enables
us to use the generic swcounter code (with some modifications)
for the cpu migration counter.

This modifies the swcounter code to allow a NULL regs pointer
to be passed in to perf_swcounter_ctx_event() etc.  The cpu
migration counter does this because there isn't necessarily a
pt_regs struct for the task available.  In this case, the
counter will not have interrupt capability - but the migration
counter didn't have interrupt capability before, so this is no
loss.

sched.c by increasing its priority to 20, compared to the 10

a subsequent commit to convert the cpu migration counter to use
the generic swcounter infrastructure will add a call into the
perf_counter subsystem when tasks get migrated.  Therefore the

perf_counter: Allow software counters to count while task is not running

This changes perf_swcounter_match() so that per-task software
counters can count events that occur while their associated
task is not running.  This will allow us to use the generic
software counter code for counting task migrations, which can
occur while the task is not scheduled in.

To do this, we have to distinguish between the situations where
the counter is inactive because its task has been scheduled
out, and those where the counter is inactive because it is part
of a group that was not able to go on the PMU.  In the former
case we want the counter to count, but not in the latter case.
If the context is active, we have the latter case.  If the
context is inactive then we need to know whether the counter
was counting when the context was last active, which we can
determine by comparing its ->tstamp_stopped timestamp with the
context's timestamp.

This also folds three checks in perf_swcounter_match, checking
perf_event_raw(), perf_event_type() and perf_event_id()
individually, into a single 64-bit comparison on
counter->hw_event.config, as an optimization.

perf_counter: Provide functions for locking and pinning the context for a task

This abstracts out the code for locking the context associated
with a task.  Because the context might get transferred from
one task to another concurrently, we have to check after
locking the context that it is still the right context for the
task and retry if not.  This was open-coded in
find_get_context() and perf_counter_init_task().

This adds a further function for pinning the context for a
task, i.e. marking it so it can't be transferred to another
task.  This adds a 'pin_count' field to struct
perf_counter_context to indicate that a context is pinned,
instead of the previous method of setting the parent_gen count
to all 1s.  Pinning the context with a pin_count is easier to
undo and doesn't require saving the parent_gen value.  This
also adds a perf_unpin_context() to undo the effect of
perf_pin_task_context() and changes perf_counter_init_task to
use it.
