      powerpc/perf: e500 support · a1110654
      Scott Wood 提交于
      This implements perf_event support for the Freescale embedded performance
      monitor, based on the existing perf_event.c that supports server/classic
      chips.
      
      Some limitations:
      - Performance monitor interrupts are regular EE interrupts, and thus you
        can't profile places with interrupts disabled.  We may want to implement
        soft IRQ-disabling, with perfmon interrupts exempted and treated as NMIs.
      - When trying to schedule multiple event groups at once, and using
        restricted events, situations could arise where scheduling fails even
        though it would be possible.  Consider three groups, each with two events.
        One group has restricted events, the others don't.  The two non-restricted
        groups are scheduled, then one is removed, which happens to occupy the two
        counters that can't do restricted events.  The remaining non-restricted
        group will not be moved to the non-restricted-capable counters to make
        room if the restricted group tries to be scheduled.
