Change counter inheritance from a 'push' to a 'pull' model: instead of
child tasks pushing their final counts to the parent, reuse the wait4
infrastructure to pull counters as child tasks are exit-processed,
much like how cutime/cstime is collected.

Impact: implement new performance feature

Counter inheritance can be used to run performance counters in a workload,
transparently - and pipe back the counter results to the parent counter.

Inheritance for performance counters works the following way: when creating
a counter it can be marked with the .inherit=1 flag. Such counters are then
'inherited' by all child tasks (be they fork()-ed or clone()-ed). These
counters get inherited through exec() boundaries as well (except through
setuid boundaries).

The counter values get added back to the parent counter(s) when the child
task(s) exit - much like stime/utime statistics are gathered. So inherited
counters are ideal to gather summary statistics about an application's
behavior via shell commands, without having to modify that application.

The timec.c command utilizes counter inheritance:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/perfcounters/timec.c

Sample output:

   $ ./timec -e 1 -e 3 -e 5 ls -lR /usr/include/ >/dev/null

   Performance counter stats for 'ls':

           163516953 instructions
                2295 cache-misses
             2855182 branch-misses

For the console, there is a 1:1 mapping of glyphs which cannot be found
in the current font.  This seems to be meant as a kind of 'emergency
fallback' for fonts without unicode mapping which otherwise would
display nothing readable on the screen.

At the moment it affects all chars for which no substitution character
is defined.  In particular this means that for all chars (>= 128) where
there is no iso88591-1/unicode character (e.g.  control character area)
you'll get the very strange 1:1 mapping of the (cp437) graphics card
glyphs.

I'm pretty sure that the 1:1 mapping should only affect strict ASCII
code characters, i.e.  chars < 128.

The patch limits the mapping as it probably was meant anyway.

There is a major bug in the cp437 to unicode translation table.  Char
0x7c is mapped to U+00a5 which is the Yen sign and wrong.  The right
mapping is U+00a6 (broken bar).

Furthermore, a mapping for U+00b4 (a widely used character) is missing
even though easily possible.

The patch fixes these, as well as it provides a few other useful
mappings.

The changes are as follows:

  0x0f (enhancement) enables a sort of currency symbol
  0x27 (bug) enables a sort of acute accent which is a widely used character
  0x44 (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic capital letter eth
  0x7c (major bug) corrects mapping
  0xeb (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic small letter eth
  0xee (enhancement) enables a sort of math 'element of'
