At present the values we put in overflow events for the misc
flags indicating processor mode and the instruction pointer are
obtained using the standard user_mode() and
instruction_pointer() functions. Those functions tell you where
the performance monitor interrupt was taken, which might not be
exactly where the counter overflow occurred, for example
because interrupts were disabled at the point where the
overflow occurred, or because the processor had many
instructions in flight and chose to complete some more
instructions beyond the one that caused the counter overflow.

Some architectures (e.g. powerpc) can supply more precise
information about where the counter overflow occurred and the
processor mode at that point.  This introduces new functions,
perf_misc_flags() and perf_instruction_pointer(), which arch
code can override to provide more precise information if
available.  They have default implementations which are
identical to the existing code.

This also adds a new misc flag value,
PERF_EVENT_MISC_HYPERVISOR, for the case where a counter
overflow occurred in the hypervisor.  We encode the processor
mode in the 2 bits previously used to indicate user or kernel
mode; the values for user and kernel mode are unchanged and
hypervisor mode is indicated by both bits being set.
