Paul suggested we allow for data addresses to be recorded along with
the traditional IPs as power can provide these.
For now, only the software pagefault events provide data addresses,
but in the future power might as well for some events.
x86 doesn't seem capable of providing this atm.

Prepare for more generic overflow handling. The new perf_counter_overflow()
method will handle the generic bits of the counter overflow, and can return
a !0 return value, in which case the counter should be (soft) disabled, so
that it won't count until it's properly disabled.

Implement set_perf_counter_pending() with a self-IPI so that it will
run ASAP in a usable context.
For now use a second IRQ vector, because the primary vector pokes
the apic in funny ways that seem to confuse things.

While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work
for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on
them.
This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this
issue.
Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based
single link list implementation to track counters that have pending
wakeups.
[ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we
cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the
perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the
network wakeups. ]
Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its
quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the
wakeup.
The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be
sufficient.

Impact: modify ABI
The hardware/software classification in hw_event->type became a little
strained due to the addition of tracepoint tracing.
Instead split up the field and provide a type field to explicitly specify
the counter type, while using the event_id field to specify which event to
use.
Raw counters still work as before, only the raw config now goes into
raw_event.

We need to ensure the enabled=0 write happens before we

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

Some BIOSes report very high frequency transition latency which are plainly
wrong on CPus that can change frequency using native MSR interface.
One such system is IBM T42 (2327-8ZU) as reported by Owen Taylor and
Rik van Riel.
cpufreq_ondemand driver uses this transition latency to come up with a
reasonable sampling interval to sample CPU usage and with such high
latency value, ondemand sampling interval ends up being very high
(0.5 sec, in this particular case), resulting in performance impact due to
slow response to increasing frequency.
Fix it by capping-off the transition latency to 20uS for native MSR based
frequency transitions.

Impact: Fix cpu offline when CONFIG_MAXSMP=y
Changeset bc9b83dd1f66402b870301c3c7117b9c1484abb4 "cpumask: convert
c1e_mask in arch/x86/kernel/process.c to cpumask_var_t" contained a
bug: c1e_mask is manipulated even if C1E isn't detected (and hence
not allocated).
This is simply fixed by checking for NULL (which gcc optimizes out
anyway of CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, since it knows ce1_mask can never
be NULL).
In addition, fix a leak where select_idle_routine re-allocates
(and re-clears) c1e_mask on every cpu init.

Impact: bug fix + BIOS workaround
BIOS is expected to clear the SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on AMD CPUs
after fixed MTRRs are configured.
Some BIOSes do not clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on BP (and on APs).
This can lead to obfuscation in Linux when this bit is not cleared on
BP but cleared on APs. A consequence of this is that the saved
fixed-MTRR state (from BP) differs from the fixed-MTRRs of APs --
because RdDram/WrDram bits are read as zero when
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] is cleared -- and Linux tries to sync
fixed-MTRR state from BP to AP. This implies that Linux sets
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and activates those bits.
More important is that (some) systems change these bits in SMM when
ACPI is enabled. Hence it is racy if Linux modifies RdMem/WrMem bits,
too.
(1) The patch modifies an old fix from Bernhard Kaindl to get
suspend/resume working on some Acer Laptops. Bernhard's patch
tried to sync RdMem/WrMem bits of fixed MTRR registers and that
helped on those old Laptops. (Don't ask me why -- can't test it
myself). But this old problem was not the motivation for the
patch. (See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/3/110)
(2) The more important effect is to fix issues on some more current systems.
On those systems Linux panics or just freezes, see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541
(and also duplicates of this bug:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11737
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11714)
The affected systems boot only using acpi=ht, acpi=off or
when the kernel is built with CONFIG_MTRR=n.
The acpi options prevent full enablement of ACPI. Obviously when
ACPI is enabled the BIOS/SMM modfies RdMem/WrMem bits. When
CONFIG_MTRR=y Linux also accesses and modifies those bits when it
needs to sync fixed-MTRRs across cores (Bernhard's fix, see (1)).
How do you synchronize that? You can't. As a consequence Linux
shouldn't touch those bits at all (Rationale are AMD's BKDGs which
recommend to clear the bit that makes RdMem/WrMem accessible).
This is the purpose of this patch. And (so far) this suffices to
fix (1) and (2).
I suggest not to touch RdDram/WrDram bits of fixed-MTRRs and
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and to clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] as
suggested by AMD K8, and AMD family 10h/11h BKDGs.
BIOS is expected to do this anyway. This should avoid that
Linux and SMM tread on each other's toes ...
