<title>mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount</title>

<content type='text'>
Many developers already know that field for reference count of the
struct page is _count and atomic type.  They would try to handle it
directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count
tracepoint.  To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it
to _refcount and add warning message on the code.  After that, developer
who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be
accessed directly.

has gone beyond the length of the memory buffer.

When part of a path but not identified as a sink, the EFT has to
be configured as a link and placed in HW FIFO mode.  As such when
enabling a path, call the right configuration function based on
the role the ETF if playing in this trace run.

This patch implement the AUX area interfaces required to
use the TMC (configured as an ETF) from the Perf sub-system.

The heuristic is heavily borrowed from the ETB10 implementation.

Accessing the HW configuration register each time the memory
width is needed simply doesn't make sense.  It is much more
efficient to read the value once and keep a reference for
later use.
