Between 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 the PMU code was made modular.
The x86_pmu_enable() call was extended to disable cpuc->enabled
and iterate the counters, enabling one at a time, before calling
enable_all() at the end, followed by re-enabling cpuc->enabled.
Since cpuc->enabled was set to 0, that change effectively caused
the "val |= ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL_ENABLE;" code in p6_pmu_enable_event()
and p6_pmu_disable_event() to be dead code that was never called.
This change removes this code (which was confusing) and adds some
extra commentary to make it more clear what is going on.

Adding sysfs group 'format' attribute for pmu device that
contains a syntax description on how to construct raw events.
The event configuration is described in following
struct pefr_event_attr attributes:
config
config1
config2
Each sysfs attribute within the format attribute group,
describes mapping of name and bitfield definition within
one of above attributes.
eg:
"/sys/...<dev>/format/event" contains "config:0-7"
"/sys/...<dev>/format/umask" contains "config:8-15"
"/sys/...<dev>/format/usr" contains "config:16"
the attribute value syntax is:
line: config ':' bits
config: 'config' | 'config1' | 'config2"
bits: bits ',' bit_term | bit_term
bit_term: VALUE '-' VALUE | VALUE

Instead of storing the base addresses we can store the counter's msr
addresses directly in config_base/event_base of struct hw_perf_event.
This avoids recalculating the address with each msr access. The
addresses are configured one time. We also need this change to later
modify the address calculation.

Stephane noticed that the ANY flag was in generic arch code, and Cyrill
reported that it broke the P4 code.
Solve this by merging x86_pmu::raw_event into x86_pmu::hw_config and
provide intel_pmu and amd_pmu specific versions of this callback.
The intel_pmu one deals with the ANY flag, the amd_pmu adds the few extra
event bits AMD64 has.

ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL bit masks are often used in the kernel. This
patch adds macros for the bit masks and removes local defines. The
function intel_pmu_raw_event() becomes x86_pmu_raw_event() which is
generic for x86 models and same also for p6. Duplicate code is
removed.

The netburst PMU is way different from the "architectural
perfomance monitoring" specification that current CPUs use.
P4 uses a tuple of ESCR+CCCR+COUNTER MSR registers to handle
perfomance monitoring events.
A few implementational details:
1) We need a separate x86_pmu::hw_config helper in struct
x86_pmu since register bit-fields are quite different from P6,
Core and later cpu series.
2) For the same reason is a x86_pmu::schedule_events helper
introduced.
3) hw_perf_event::config consists of packed ESCR+CCCR values.
It's allowed since in reality both registers only use a half
of their size. Of course before making a real write into a
particular MSR we need to unpack the value and extend it to
a proper size.
4) The tuple of packed ESCR+CCCR in hw_perf_event::config
doesn't describe the memory address of ESCR MSR register
so that we need to keep a mapping between these tuples
used and available ESCR (various P4 events may use same
ESCRs but not simultaneously), for this sake every active
event has a per-cpu map of hw_perf_event::idx <--> ESCR
addresses.
5) Since hw_perf_event::idx is an offset to counter/control register
we need to lift X86_PMC_MAX_GENERIC up, otherwise kernel
strips it down to 8 registers and event armed may never be turned
off (ie the bit in active_mask is set but the loop never reaches
this index to check), thanks to Peter Zijlstra
Restrictions:
- No cascaded counters support (do we ever need them?)
- No dependent events support (so PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
doesn't work for now)
- There are events with same counters which can't work simultaneously
(need to use intersected ones due to broken counter 1)
- No PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_ events yet
Todo:
- Implement dependent events
- Need proper hashing for event opcodes (no linear search, good for
debugging stage but not in real loads)
- Some events counted during a clock cycle -- need to set threshold
for them and count every clock cycle just to get summary statistics
(ie to behave the same way as other PMUs do)
- Need to swicth to use event_constraints
- To support RAW events we need to encode a global list of P4 events
into p4_templates
- Cache events need to be added
Event support status matrix:
Event status
-----------------------------
cycles works
cache-references works
cache-misses works
branch-misses works
bus-cycles partially (does not work on 64bit cpu with HT enabled)
instruction doesnt work (needs dependent event [mop tagging])
branches doesnt work
