Mark noticed that the change to sibling_list changed some iteration
semantics; because previously we used group_list as list entry,
sibling events would always have an empty sibling_list.

But because we now use sibling_list for both list head and list entry,
siblings will report as having siblings.

Fix this with a custom for_each_sibling_event() iterator.

Now that all the grouping is done with RB trees, we no longer need
group_entry and can replace the whole thing with sibling_list.

<title>MIPS: Fix perf event init</title>

Commit c311c797998c ("cpumask: make "nr_cpumask_bits" unsigned")
modified mipspmu_event_init() to cast the struct perf_event cpu field to
an unsigned integer before it is compared with nr_cpumask_bits (and
*ahem* did so without copying the linux-mips mailing list or any MIPS
developers...). This is broken because the cpu field may be -1 for
events which follow a process rather than being affine to a particular
CPU. When this is the case the cast to an unsigned int results in a
value equal to ULONG_MAX, which is always greater than nr_cpumask_bits
so we always fail mipspmu_event_init() and return -ENODEV.

The check against nr_cpumask_bits seems nonsensical anyway, so this
patch simply removes it. The cpu field is going to either be -1 or a
valid CPU number. Comparing it with nr_cpumask_bits is effectively
checking that it's a valid cpu number, but it seems safe to rely on the
core perf events code to ensure that's the case.

The end result is that this fixes use of perf on MIPS when not
constraining events to a particular CPU, and fixes the "perf list hw"
command which fails to list any events without this.

Add a definition of the perf registers for the new I6500 core.

Since I6500 has the same event definitions as I6400, re-use the existing
i6400 map structures by renaming them to a slightly more generic
'i6x00_***_map'.

Bit searching functions accept "unsigned long" indices but
"nr_cpumask_bits" is "int" which is signed, so inevitable sign
extensions occur on x86_64.  Those MOVSX are #1 MOVSX bloat by number of
uses across whole kernel.

Change "nr_cpumask_bits" to unsigned, this number can't be negative
after all.  It allows to do implicit zero-extension on x86_64 without
MOVSX.

Change signed comparisons into unsigned comparisons where necessary.

Other uses looks fine because it is either argument passed to a function
or comparison is already unsigned.

mipsxx_pmu_handle_shared_irq() calls irq_work_run() while holding the
pmuint_rwlock for read.  irq_work_run() can, via perf_pending_event(),
call try_to_wake_up() which can try to take rq-&gt;lock.

However, perf can also call perf_pmu_enable() (and thus take the
pmuint_rwlock for write) while holding the rq-&gt;lock, from
finish_task_switch() via perf_event_context_sched_in().

This leads to an ABBA deadlock:

<id>2654294bac83a64101c360eac4d42d5ac1b1b911</id>
<content type='text'>
Unify definitions for MIPS performance counter register fields in
mipsregs.h rather than duplicating them in perf_events and oprofile.
This will allow future patches to use them to expose performance
counters to KVM guests.

<content type='text'>
Fix perf hardware performance counter event numbers for I6400. This core
does not follow the performance event numbering scheme of previous MIPS
cores. All performance counters (both odd and even) are capable of
counting any of the available events.

<title>MIPS: Add perf counter feature</title>

<id>30228c40f0c6f0a93910325f120904505a4c39cc</id>
<content type='text'>
Add CPU feature for standard MIPS r2 performance counters, as determined
by the Config1.PC bit. Both perf_events and oprofile probe this bit, so
lets combine the probing and change both to use cpu_has_perf.

This will also be used for VZ support in KVM to know whether performance
counters exist which can be exposed to guests.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: resolve conflict.]
