This patch adds correct AMD NorthBridge event scheduling.

NB events are events measuring L3 cache, Hypertransport traffic. They are
identified by an event code >= 0xe0. They measure events on the
Northbride which is shared by all cores on a package. NB events are
counted on a shared set of counters. When a NB event is programmed in a
counter, the data actually comes from a shared counter. Thus, access to
those counters needs to be synchronized.

We implement the synchronization such that no two cores can be measuring
NB events using the same counters. Thus, we maintain a per-NB allocation
table. The available slot is propagated using the event_constraint
structure.

In certain situations, the kernel may need to stop and start the same
event rapidly. The current PMU callbacks do not distinguish between stop
and release (i.e., stop + free the resource). Thus, a counter may be
released, then it will be immediately re-acquired. Event scheduling will
again take place with no guarantee to assign the same counter. On some
processors, this may event yield to failure to assign the event back due
to competion between cores.

This patch is adding a new pair of callback to stop and restart a counter
without actually release the underlying counter resource. On stop, the
counter is stopped, its values saved and that's it. On start, the value
is reloaded and counter is restarted (on x86, actual restart is delayed
until perf_enable()).

We cannot assume that because hwc->idx == assign[i], we can avoid
reprogramming the counter in hw_perf_enable().

The event may have been scheduled out and another event may have been
programmed into this counter. Thus, we need a more robust way of
verifying if the counter still contains config/data related to an event.

This patch adds a generation number to each counter on each cpu. Using
this mechanism we can verify reliabilty whether the content of a counter
corresponds to an event.

This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU
registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group.

The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each
event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e.,
works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any
counter.

Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via
this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic.

The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling
algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open().

The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running
the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual
assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is
implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

When running perf across all cpus with backtracing (-a -g), sometimes we

                       |--11.11%-- 0xfffa941bbbc

It turns out the backtrace code has a check for the idle task and the IP
sampling does not. This creates problems when profiling an interrupt
heavy workload (in my case 10Gbit ethernet) since we get no backtraces
for interrupts received while idle (ie most of the workload).

Right now x86 and sh check that current is not NULL, which should never
happen so remove that too.

Idle task's exclusion must be performed from the core code, on top
of perf_event_attr:exclude_idle.

Pass the frame pointer from the regs of the interrupted path
to dump_trace() while processing the stack trace.

Currently, dump_trace() takes the current bp and starts the
callchain from dump_trace() itself. This is wasteful because
we need to walk through the entire NMI/DEBUG stack before
retrieving the interrupted point.

We can fix that by just using the frame pointer from the
captured regs. It points exactly where we want to start.

perf events, x86/stacktrace: Fix performance/softlockup by providing a special frame pointer-only stack walker

It's just wasteful for stacktrace users like perf to walk
through every entries on the stack whereas these only accept
reliable ones, ie: that the frame pointer validates.

Since perf requires pure reliable stacktraces, it needs a stack
walker based on frame pointers-only to optimize the stacktrace
processing.

This might solve some near-lockup scenarios that can be triggered
by call-graph tracing timer events.

The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack

all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.

But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

On some Intel processors, not all events can be measured in all
counters. Some events can only be measured in one particular
counter, for instance. Assigning an event to the wrong counter does
not crash the machine but this yields bogus counts, i.e., silent
error.

This patch changes the event to counter assignment logic to take
into account event constraints for Intel P6, Core and Nehalem
processors. There is no contraints on Intel Atom. There are
constraints on Intel Yonah (Core Duo) but they are not provided in
this patch given that this processor is not yet supported by
perf_events.

As a result of the constraints, it is possible for some event
groups to never actually be loaded onto the PMU if they contain two
events which can only be measured on a single counter. That
situation can be detected with the scaling information extracted
with read().

Intel fixed counters do not support all the filters possible with a
generic counter. Thus, if a fixed counter event is passed but with
certain filters set, then the fixed_mode_idx() function must fail
and the event must be measured in a generic counter instead.

Reject filters are: inv, edge, cnt-mask.
