This was the second perf intr issue
perf sampling on multicore requires intr to be enabled on all cores.
ARC perf probe code used helper arc_request_percpu_irq() which calls
- request_percpu_irq() on core0
- enable_percpu_irq() on all all cores (including core0)
genirq requires that request be made ahead of enable call.
However if perf probe happened on non core0 (observed on a 3.18 kernel),
enable would get called ahead of request, failing obviously and
rendering perf intr disabled on all such cores
[ 11.120000] 1 ARC perf : 8 counters (48 bits), 113 conditions, [overflow IRQ support]
[ 11.130000] 1 -----> enable_percpu_irq() IRQ 20 failed
[ 11.140000] 3 -----> enable_percpu_irq() IRQ 20 failed
[ 11.140000] 2 -----> enable_percpu_irq() IRQ 20 failed
[ 11.140000] 0 =====> request_percpu_irq() IRQ 20
[ 11.140000] 0 -----> enable_percpu_irq() IRQ 20
Fix this fragility, by calling request_percpu_irq() on whatever core
calls probe (there is no requirement on which core calls this anyways)
and then calling enable on each cores.
Interestingly this started as invesigation of STAR 9000838902:
"sporadically IRQs enabled on perf prob"
which was about occassional boot spew as request_percpu_irq got called
non-locally (from an IPI), and re-enabled interrupts in following path
proc_mkdir -> spin_unlock_irq()
which the irq work code didn't like.

In times of ARC 700 performance counters didn't have support of
interrupt an so for ARC we only had support of non-sampling events.
Put simply only "perf stat" was functional.
Now with ARC HS we have support of interrupts in performance counters
which this change introduces support of.
ARC performance counters act in the following way in regard of
interrupts generation.
[1] A counter counts starting from value set in PCT_COUNT register pair
[2] Once counter reaches value set in PCT_INT_CNT interrupt is raised
Basic setup look like this:
[1] PCT_COUNT = 0;
[2] PCT_INT_CNT = __limit_value__;
[3] Enable interrupts for that counter and let it run
[4] Let counter reach its limit
[5] Handle interrupt when it happens
Note that PCT HW block is build in CPU core and so ints interrupt
line (which is basically OR of all counters IRQs) is wired directly to
top-level IRQC. That means do de-assert PCT interrupt it's required to
reset IRQs from all counters that have reached their limit values.

This generalization prepares for support of overflow interrupts.
Hardware event counters on ARC work that way:
Each counter counts from programmed start value (set in
ARC_REG_PCT_COUNT) to a limit value (set in ARC_REG_PCT_INT_CNT) and
once limit value is reached this timer generates an interrupt.
Even though this hardware implementation allows for more flexibility,
in Linux kernel we decided to mimic behavior of other architectures
this way:
[1] Set limit value as half of counter's max value (to allow counter to
run after reaching it limit, see below for more explanation):
---------->8-----------
arc_pmu->max_period = (1ULL << counter_size) / 2 - 1ULL;
---------->8-----------
[2] Set start value as "arc_pmu->max_period - sample_period" and then
count up to the limit
Our event counters don't stop on reaching max value (the one we set in
ARC_REG_PCT_INT_CNT) but continue to count until kernel explicitly
stops each of them.
And setting a limit as half of counter capacity is done to allow
capturing of additional events in between moment when interrupt was
triggered until we're actually processing PMU interrupts. That way
we're trying to be more precise.
For example if we count CPU cycles we keep track of cycles while
running through generic IRQ handling code:
[1] We set counter period as say 100_000 events of type "crun"
[2] Counter reaches that limit and raises its interrupt
[3] Once we get in PMU IRQ handler we read current counter value from
ARC_REG_PCT_SNAP ans see there something like 105_000.
If counters stop on reaching a limit value then we would miss
additional 5000 cycles.

The ARC 700 does not have an interrupt associated with it, and as
such it cannot trigger when a counter overflows. As the counters are
48 bit, it will usually take at least 100 days before a counter
overflows, so for mere counting of events, there is no problem.
Sampling is not supported though.
