By using a common attr_groups array, the common arm_pmu code can set up
common files (e.g. cpumask) for us in subsequent patches.

ARMv7 counters other than the CPU cycle counter only work if the Secure
Debug Enable Register (SDER) SUNIDEN bit is set.

Since access to the SDER is only possible in secure state, it will
only be done if the device tree property "secure-reg-access" is set.

Without this:

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

          14606094 cycles                    #    0.000 GHz
                 0 instructions              #    0.00  insns per cycle

After applying:

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

           5843809 cycles
           2566484 instructions              #    0.44  insns per cycle

       1.020144000 seconds time elapsed

Some platforms (eg i.MX53) may also need additional platform specific
setup.

It's all very well providing an events directory to userspace that
details our events in terms of "event=0xNN", but if we don't define how
to encode the "event" field in the perf attr.config, then it's a waste
of time.

This patch adds a single format entry to describe that the event field
occupies the bottom 8 bits of our config field on ARMv7.

Add additional information about the ARM architected hardware events
to make counters self describing. This makes the hardware PMUs easier
to use as perf list contains possible events instead of users having
to refer to documentation like the ARM TRMs.

To enable sharing of the arm_pmu code with arm64, this patch factors it
out to drivers/perf/. A new drivers/perf directory is added for
performance monitor drivers to live under.

MAINTAINERS is updated accordingly. Files added previously without a
corresponsing MAINTAINERS update (perf_regs.c, perf_callchain.c, and
perf_event.h) are also added.

Now that the core arm perf code maintains no global state and all
microarchitecture-specific PMU data can be fed in through the shared
probe function, it's possible to use it as a library and get rid of the
C file includes we have currently.

This patch factors out the ARMv7-specific portions out into the ARMv7
driver. For the moment this is always built if perf event support is
enabled, but the preprocessor guards will leave behind an empty file.

Now that perf_event_cpu.c contains no microarchitecture-specific data,
the associated probing code is removed, completing its relegation to a
library file. The vestigal "arm-pmu" platform device ID is removed in
this patch, as it has been unused since platform files were updated to
specify a more specific PMU variant.

In heterogeneous systems, the number of counters may differ across
clusters. To find the number of counters for a cluster, we must probe
the PMU from a CPU in that cluster.

<title>ARM: perf: Add support for Scorpion PMUs</title>

Scorpion supports a set of local performance monitor event
selection registers (LPM) sitting behind a cp15 based interface
that extend the architected PMU events to include Scorpion CPU
and Venum VFP specific events. To use these events the user is
expected to program the lpm register with the event code shifted
into the group they care about and then point the PMNx event at
that region+group combo by writing a LPMn_GROUPx event. Add
support for this hardware.

Note: the raw event number is a pure software construct that
allows us to map the multi-dimensional number space of regions,
groups, and event codes into a flat event number space suitable
for use by the perf framework.

This is based on code originally written by Sheetal Sahasrabudhe,
Ashwin Chaugule, and Neil Leeder [1].

The Krait specific PMxEVCNTCR register is unpredictable upon
reset. Currently we clear the register before we setup an event,
but we don't need to do that. Instead, we can iterate through all
the events and clear them once when we reset the PMU, saving a
write in the event setup path.
