The PMU reservation mechanism was originally intended to allow OProfile
and perf-events to co-ordinate over access to the CPU PMU. Since then,
OProfile for ARM has moved to using perf as its backend, so the
reservation code is no longer used.
This patch removes the reservation code for the CPU PMU on ARM.

Commit b0e89590 ("ARM: PMU: move CPU PMU platform device handling and
init into perf") inadvertently removed the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL on
release_pmu, so out-of-tree modules can no longer play nice with perf,
even if they tried in the first place.
This patch re-exports the symbol.

Once upon a time, OProfile and Perf fought hard over who could play with
the PMU. To stop all hell from breaking loose, pmu.c offered an internal
reserve/release API and took care of parsing PMU platform data passed in
from board support code.
Now that Perf has ingested OProfile, let's move the platform device
handling into the Perf driver and out of the PMU locking code.
Unfortunately, the lock has to remain to prevent Perf being bitten by
out-of-tree modules such as LTTng, which still claim a right to the PMU
when Perf isn't looking.

Commit f12482c9 ("ARM: 6974/1: pmu: refactor reservation") changed
{release,reserve}_pmu to take an enum arm_pmu_type as a parameter, but
inconsistently named the parameter `type' or `device'. It would be nice
if these were consistent.
This patch makes use of enum arm_pmu_type consistent, always using
`type'. Related printks are updated, explicitly mentioning `type' also.

This patch adds support for platform_device_id tables, allowing new
PMU types to be registered with the correct type, without requiring
new platform_driver shims to provide the type. An single entry for
existing devices is provided.
Macros matching functionality of the of_device_id table macros are
provided for convenience.

This is based on an earlier patch from Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com>
> Add OF match table to enable OF style driver binding. The dts entry is like
> this:
>
> pmu {
> compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-pmu";
> interrupts = <100 101>;
> };
>
> The use of pdev->id as an index breaks with OF device binding, so set the type
> based on the OF compatible string.
This modification sets the PMU hardware type based on data embedded in the
binding, allowing easy addition of new PMU types in future.
Support for new PMU types not provided by devicetree can be added later using
platform_device_id tables in a similar fashion.

Currently, the PMU reservation framework allows for multiple PMUs of
the same type to register themselves. This can lead to a bug with the
sequence:
register_pmu(pmu1);
reserve_pmu(pmu_type);
register_pmu(pmu2);
release_pmu(pmu1);
Here, pmu1 cannot be released, and pmu2 cannot be reserved.
This patch modifies register_pmu to reject registrations where a PMU is
already present, preventing this problem. PMUs which can have multiple
instances should not use the PMU reservation framework.

Currently, PMU platform_device reservation relies on some minor abuse
of the platform_device::id field for determining the type of PMU. This
is problematic for device tree based probing, where the ID cannot be
controlled.
This patch removes reliance on the id field, and depends on each PMU's
platform driver to figure out which type it is. As all PMUs handled by
the current platform_driver name "arm-pmu" are CPU PMUs, this
convention is hardcoded. New PMU types can be supported through the use
of {of,platform}_device_id tables

Now that we can execute a CONFIG_SMP kernel on a uniprocessor system,
extra care has to be taken in the PMU IRQ affinity setting code to
ensure that we don't always fail to initialise.
This patch changes the CPU PMU initialisation code so that when we
only have a single IRQ, whose affinity can not be changed at the
controller, we report success (0) rather than -EINVAL.

The current PMU infrastructure for ARM requires that the IRQs for the PMU
device are fixed at compile time and are selected based on the ARCH_ or MACH_ flags. This has the disadvantage of tying the Kernel down to a
particular board as far as profiling is concerned.
This patch replaces the compile-time IRQ registration with a runtime mechanism which allows the IRQs to be registered with the framework as
a platform_device.
A further advantage of this change is that there is scope for registering
different types of performance counters in the future by changing the id
of the platform_device and attaching different resources to it.

To add support for perf events and to allow the hardware counters to be
shared with oprofile, we need a way to reserve access to the pmu
(performance monitor unit). Platforms with PMU interrupts should
register the interrupts in arch/arm/kernel/pmu.c
