perf tools: Fix tracepoint id to string perf.data header table
perf tools: Fix handling of wildcards in tracepoint event selectors
powerpc: perf: Fix frequency calculation for overflowing counters
When profiling a benchmark that is almost 100% userspace, I noticed some wildly
inaccurate profiles that showed almost all time spent in the kernel.
Closer examination shows we were programming a tiny number of cycles into the
PMU after each overflow (about ~200 away from the next overflow). This gets us
stuck in a loop which we eventually break out of by throttling the PMU (there
are regular throttle/unthrottle events in the log).
It looks like we aren't setting event->hw.last_period to something same and the
frequency to period calculations in perf are going haywire.
With the following patch we find the correct period after a few interrupts and
stay there. I also see no more throttle events.

In fsl_rio_dbell_handler() the code currently simply acknowledges the QFI
queue full interrupt, but does nothing to resolve the queue full
condition. Instead, it jumps to the end of the isr. When a queue full
condition occurs, the isr is then re-entered immediately and continually,
forever.
The fix is to just fall through and read out current doorbell entries.

IA64 support forces us to abstract the allocation of the kvm structure.
But instead of mixing this up with arch-specific initialization and
doing the same on destruction, split both steps. This allows to move
generic destruction calls into generic code.
It also fixes error clean-up on failures of kvm_create_vm for IA64.

The header asm/hvcall.h was previously included indirectly via
smp.h. On non-SMP systems, however, these declarations are excluded
and the build breaks. This is easily fixed by including asm/hvcall.h
directly.
The VPHN feature is only meaningful on NUMA systems that implement
the SPLPAR option, so exclude the VPHN code on systems without
SPLPAR enabled.
Also, expose unmap_cpu_from_node() on systems with SPLPAR enabled,
even if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled.
Lastly, map_cpu_to_node() is now needed by VPHN to manipulate the
node masks after boot time, so remove the __cpuinit annotation to
fix a section mismatch.

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already
held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point).
However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any
caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy
dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time.

Make d_count non-atomic and protect it with d_lock. This allows us to ensure a

on any platform which selects CONFIG_OF_FLATTREE, and some early which is used
at boot time on only a few architectures. This patch segregates the early
code so that only those architectures which care about it need compile it.
This also means that some of the requirements in the early code (such as

The therm_pm72 driver, used on the PowerMac G5 range, cannot be
auto-loaded, since the driver itself creates both the device node
and the driver instance.
Moving the device node creation to the platform setup code and
adding the necessary MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() information allows the
driver to be automatically loaded by udev on any semi-modern
distribution.
It "fixes" a major source of problem on G5 machines where the
driver wasn't explicitely loaded by default, and the system
would automatically shutdown under load.
Tested on an Xserve G5.
