The patch a8b0ca17 ("perf: Remove the nmi parameter from the swevent
and overflow interface") missed a spot in the ppc hw_breakpoint code,
fix this up so things compile again.

At present, hw_breakpoint_slots() returns 1 regardless of what
type of breakpoint is specified in the type argument.  Since we
don't define CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS, there are
separate values for TYPE_INST and TYPE_DATA, and hw_breakpoint_slots()
returns 1 for both, effectively advertising instruction breakpoint
support which doesn't exist.

This fixes it by making hw_breakpoint_slots return 1 for TYPE_DATA
and 0 for TYPE_INST.  This moves hw_breakpoint_slots() from the
powerpc hw_breakpoint.h to hw_breakpoint.c because the definitions
of TYPE_INST and TYPE_DATA aren't available in <asm/hw_breakpoint.h>.
They are defined in <linux/hw_breakpoint.h> but we can't include
that header in <asm/hw_breakpoint.h>, and nor can we rely on
<linux/hw_breakpoint.h> being included before <asm/hw_breakpoint.h>.
Since hw_breakpoint_slots() is only called at boot time, there is
no performance impact from making it a real function rather than
a static inline.

Many a times, the requested breakpoint length can be less than the
fixed breakpoint length i.e. 8 bytes supported by PowerPC 64-bit
server (Book III S) processors.  This could lead to extraneous
interrupts resulting in false breakpoint notifications.  This
detects and discards such interrupts for non-ptrace requests.
We don't change ptrace behaviour to avoid breaking compatability.

[Suggestion from Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> to add a new flag in
'struct arch_hw_breakpoint' to identify extraneous interrupts]

A signal delivered between a hw_breakpoint_handler() and the
single_step_dabr_instruction() will not have the breakpoint active
while the signal handler is running -- the signal delivery will
set up a new MSR value which will not have MSR_SE set, so we
won't get the signal step interrupt until and unless the signal
handler returns (which it may never do).

To fix this, we restore the breakpoint when delivering a signal --
we clear the MSR_SE bit and set the DABR again.  If the signal
handler returns, the DABR interrupt will occur again when the
instruction that we were originally trying to single-step gets
re-executed.

[Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> pointed out the need to do this.]

Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC
64-bit server (Book III S) processors.  This allows access to a
given location to be used as an event that can be counted or
profiled by the perf_events subsystem.

This is done using the DABR (data breakpoint register), which can
also be used for process debugging via ptrace.  When perf_event
hw_breakpoint support is configured in, the perf_event subsystem
manages the DABR and arbitrates access to it, and ptrace then
creates a perf_event when it is requested to set a data breakpoint.

[Adopted suggestions from Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> to
- emulate_step() all system-wide breakpoints and single-step only the
  per-task breakpoints
- perform arch-specific cleanup before unregistration through
  arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint()
