perf events, powerpc: Add POWER7 stalled-cycles-frontend/backend events

Extent the POWER7 PMU driver with definitions for generic front-end and back-end
stall events.

As explained in Ingo's original comment(8f62242246351b5a4bc0c1f00c0c7003edea128a
), the exact definitions of the stall events are very much processor specific as

different things mean different in their respective instruction pipeline. These
two Power7 raw events are the closest approximation to the concept detailed in
Ingo's comment.

[PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND] = 0x100f8, /* GCT_NOSLOT_CYC */
It means cycles when the Global Completion Table has no slots from this thread

[PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND] = 0x4000a,  /* CMPLU_STALL */
It means no groups completed and GCT not empty for this thread

This fixes the following warning:
WARNING: arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x29768): Section mismatch in reference from the function .register_power_pmu() to the function .cpuinit.text:.power_pmu_notifier()
The function .register_power_pmu() references
the function __cpuinit .power_pmu_notifier().
This is often because .register_power_pmu lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of .power_pmu_notifier is wrong.

<title>perf, arch: Add generic NODE cache events</title>

Add a NODE level to the generic cache events which is used to measure
local vs remote memory accesses. Like all other cache events, an
ACCESS is HIT+MISS, if there is no way to distinguish between reads
and writes do reads only etc..

The below needs filling out for !x86 (which I filled out with
unsupported events).

I'm fairly sure ARM can leave it like that since it doesn't strike me as
an architecture that even has NUMA support. SH might have something since
it does appear to have some NUMA bits.

Sparc64, PowerPC and MIPS certainly want a good look there since they
clearly are NUMA capable.

<title>perf, arch: Cleanup perf-pmu init vs lockup-detector</title>

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).

The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.

Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

In continuous sampling mode we want the SDAR to update.  While we can
select between dcache misses and ERAT (L1-TLB) misses, a decent default
is to enable both.

<title>perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -&gt; Performance Events</title>

<id>cdd6c482c9ff9c55475ee7392ec8f672eddb7be6</id>

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/\&lt;event\&gt;/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. )

I had the codes for L1 D-cache load accesses and misses swapped
around, and the wrong codes for LL-cache accesses and misses.
This corrects them.

If the current CPU doesn't support performance counters,
cur_cpu_spec-&gt;oprofile_cpu_type can be NULL. The current
perf_counter modules don't test for that case and would thus
crash at boot time.

Bug reported by David Woodhouse.

POWER7 has the same PR/HV bit layout as POWER6, so set the flag.
