Add support to display hardware events translations available
through the sysfs. Add 'events' group attribute under the sysfs
x86 PMU record with attribute/file for each hardware event.

This patch adds only backbone for PMUs to display config under
'events' directory. The specific PMU support itself will come
in next patches, however this is how the sysfs group will look
like:

  # ls  /sys/devices/cpu/events/
  branch-instructions
  branch-misses
  bus-cycles
  cache-misses
  cache-references
  cpu-cycles
  instructions
  ref-cycles
  stalled-cycles-backend
  stalled-cycles-frontend

The file - hw event ID mapping is:

  file                      hw event ID
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  cpu-cycles                PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES
  instructions              PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
  cache-references          PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES
  cache-misses              PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MISSES
  branch-instructions       PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS
  branch-misses             PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_MISSES
  bus-cycles                PERF_COUNT_HW_BUS_CYCLES
  stalled-cycles-frontend   PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND
  stalled-cycles-backend    PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND
  ref-cycles                PERF_COUNT_HW_REF_CPU_CYCLES

Each file in the 'events' directory contains the term translation
for the symbolic hw event for the currently running cpu model.

The following patch adds perf_event support for the Xeon-Phi
PMU, as documented in the "Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor (codename:
Knights Corner) Performance Monitoring Units" manual.

Even though it is a co-processor, a Phi runs a full Linux
environment and can support performance counters.

This is just barebones support, it does not add support for
interesting new features such as the SPFLT intruction that
allows starting/stopping events without entering the kernel.

The PMU internally is just like that of an original Pentium, but
a "P6-like" MSR interface is provided.  The interface is
different enough from a real P6 that it's not easy (or
practical) to re-use the code in  perf_event_p6.c

Some PMUs don't provide a full register set for their sample,
specifically 'advanced' PMUs like AMD IBS and Intel PEBS which provide
'better' than regular interrupt accuracy.

In this case we use the interrupt regs as basis and over-write some
fields (typically IP) with different information.

The perf core however uses user_mode() to distinguish user/kernel
samples, user_mode() relies on regs->cs. If the interrupt skid pushed
us over a boundary the new IP might not be in the same domain as the
interrupt.

Commit ce5c1fe9 ("perf/x86: Fix USER/KERNEL tagging of samples")
tried to fix this by making the perf core use kernel_ip(). This
however is wrong (TM), as pointed out by Linus, since it doesn't allow
for VM86 and non-zero based segments in IA32 mode.

Therefore, provide a new helper to set the regs->ip field,
set_linear_ip(), which massages the regs into a suitable state
assuming the provided IP is in fact a linear address.

Also modify perf_instruction_pointer() and perf_callchain_user() to
deal with segments base offsets.

With branch stack sampling, it is possible to filter by priv levels.

In system-wide mode, that means it is possible to capture only user
level branches. The builtin SW LBR filter needs to disassemble code
based on LBR captured addresses. For that, it needs to know the task
the addresses are associated with. Because of context switches, the
content of the branch stack buffer may contain addresses from
different tasks.

We need a callback on context switch to either flush the branch stack
or save it. This patch adds a new callback in struct pmu which is called
during context switches. The callback is called only when necessary.
That is when a system-wide context has, at least, one event which
uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK. The callback is never called for
per-thread context.

In this version, the Intel x86 code simply flushes (resets) the LBR
on context switches (fills it with zeroes). Those zeroed branches are
then filtered out by the SW filter.

This patch adds an internal sofware filter to complement
the (optional) LBR hardware filter.

The software filter is necessary:

 - as a substitute when there is no HW LBR filter (e.g., Atom, Core)
 - to complement HW LBR filter in case of errata (e.g., Nehalem/Westmere)
 - to provide finer grain filtering (e.g., all processors)

Sometimes the LBR HW filter cannot distinguish between two types
of branches. For instance, to capture syscall as CALLS, it is necessary
to enable the LBR_FAR filter which will also capture JMP instructions.
Thus, a second pass is necessary to filter those out, this is what the
SW filter can do.

The SW filter is built on top of the internal x86 disassembler. It
is a best effort filter especially for user level code. It is subject
to the availability of the text page of the program.

The SW filter is enabled on all Intel processors. It is bypassed
when the user is capturing all branches at all priv levels.

The Intel LBR on some recent processor is capable
of filtering branches by type. The filter is configurable
via the LBR_SELECT MSR register.

There are limitation on how this register can be used.

On Nehalem/Westmere, the LBR_SELECT is shared by the two HT threads
when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off.

On SandyBridge, the LBR_SELECT register is private to each thread
when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off.

The kernel must manage the sharing of LBR_SELECT. It allows
multiple users on the same logical CPU to use LBR_SELECT as
long as they program it with the same value. Across sibling
CPUs (HT threads), the same restriction applies on NHM/WSM.

This patch implements this sharing logic by leveraging the
mechanism put in place for managing the offcore_response
shared MSR.

We modify __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints() to cause
x86_get_event_constraint() to be called because LBR may
be associated with events that may be counter constrained.

It turned out that a performance counter on AMD does not
count at all when the GO or HO bit is set in the control
register and SVM is disabled in EFER.

This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit
in the performance counter control register when SVM is not
enabled.

The GO bit is not touched because it is only set when the
user wants to count in guest-mode only. So when SVM is
disabled the counter should not run at all and the
not-counting is the intended behaviour.

The current x86 event scheduler fails to resolve scheduling problems
of certain combinations of events and constraints. This happens if the
counter mask of such an event is not a subset of any other counter
mask of a constraint with an equal or higher weight, e.g. constraints
of the AMD family 15h pmu:

                        counter mask    weight

 amd_f15_PMC30          0x09            2  <--- overlapping counters
 amd_f15_PMC20          0x07            3
 amd_f15_PMC53          0x38            3

The scheduler does not find then an existing solution. Here is an
example:

 event code     counter         failure         possible solution

 0x02E          PMC[3,0]        0               3
 0x043          PMC[2:0]        1               0
 0x045          PMC[2:0]        2               1
 0x046          PMC[2:0]        FAIL            2

The event scheduler may not select the correct counter in the first
cycle because it needs to know which subsequent events will be
scheduled. It may fail to schedule the events then.

To solve this, we now save the scheduler state of events with
overlapping counter counstraints.  If we fail to schedule the events
we rollback to those states and try to use another free counter.

Constraints with overlapping counters are marked with a new introduced
overlap flag. We set the overlap flag for such constraints to give the
scheduler a hint which events to select for counter rescheduling. The
EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP() macro can be used for this.

Care must be taken as the rescheduling algorithm is O(n!) which will
increase scheduling cycles for an over-commited system dramatically.
The number of such EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP() macros and its counter
masks must be kept at a minimum. Thus, the current stack is limited to
2 states to limit the number of loops the algorithm takes in the worst
case.

On systems with no overlapping-counter constraints, this
implementation does not increase the loop count compared to the
previous algorithm.

V2:
* Renamed redo -> overlap.
* Reimplementation using perf scheduling helper functions.

V3:
* Added WARN_ON_ONCE() if out of save states.
* Changed function interface of perf_sched_restore_state() to use bool
  as return value.

Intel does not have guest/host-only bit in perf counters like AMD
does.  To support GO/HO bits KVM needs to switch EVENTSELn values
(or PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL if available) at a guest entry. If a counter is
configured to count only in a guest mode it stays disabled in a host,
but VMX is configured to switch it to enabled value during guest entry.

This patch adds GO/HO tracking to Intel perf code and provides interface
for KVM to get a list of MSRs that need to be switched on a guest entry.

Only cpus with architectural PMU (v1 or later) are supported with this
patch.  To my knowledge there is not p6 models with VMX but without
architectural PMU and p4 with VMX are rare and the interface is general
enough to support them if need arise.
