Ensure to reset the sample-data-block full indicator and the overflow counter
at the same time.  This must be done atomically because the sampling hardware
is still active while full sample-data-block is processed.

Improve the sampling buffer allocation and add a function to reallocate and
increase the sampling buffer structure.  The number of allocated buffer elements
(sample-data-blocks) are accounted.  You can control the minimum and maximum
number these sample-data-blocks through the cpum_sfb_size kernel parameter.

The number hardware sample overflows (if any) are also accounted and stored
per perf event.  During the PMU disable/enable calls, the accumulated overflow
counter is analyzed and, if necessary, the sampling buffer is dynamically
increased.

Introduce reserve/release functions to share the sampling facility
between perf and oprofile.
Also improve error handling for the sampling facility support in perf.

The cpum_cf (counter facility) PMU does not support sampling events.
With cpum_sf (sampling facility), a PMU for sampling CPU cycles is
available.

Make cpum_sf the "default" PMU for PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES sampling
events but use the more precise cpum_cf PMU for non-sampling events.

Introduce a perf PMU, "cpum_sf", to support the CPU-Measurement
Sampling Facility.  You can control the sampling facility through
this perf PMU interfaces.  Perf sampling events are created for
hardware samples.

For details about the CPU-Measurement Sampling Facility, see
"The Load-Program-Parameter and the CPU-Measurement Facilities" (SA23-2260).
