For some performance events it's useful to set the EDGE and INV
bits and the CMASK mask in the counter control register. The list
of predefined events Intel releases for each CPU has some events which
require these settings to get more "natural" to use higher level events.
oprofile currently doesn't allow this.
This patch adds new extra configuration fields for them, so that
they can be specified in oprofilefs.
An updated oprofile daemon can then make use of this to set them.
v2: Write back masked extra value to variable.

Some subsystems in the x86 tree need to carry out suspend/resume and
shutdown operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled and
they define sysdev classes and sysdevs or sysdev drivers for this
purpose. This leads to unnecessarily complicated code and excessive
memory usage, so switch them to using struct syscore_ops objects for
this purpose instead.
Generally, there are three categories of subsystems that use
sysdevs for implementing PM operations: (1) subsystems whose
suspend/resume callbacks ignore their arguments entirely (the
majority), (2) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks use their
struct sys_device argument, but don't really need to do that,
because they can be implemented differently in an arguably simpler
way (io_apic.c), and (3) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks
use their struct sys_device argument, but the value of that argument
is always the same and could be ignored (microcode_core.c). In all
of these cases the subsystems in question may be readily converted to
using struct syscore_ops objects for power management and shutdown.

With priorities in place and no one really understanding the difference between
DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, just remove DIE_NMI_IPI and convert everyone to DIE_NMI.
This also simplifies default_do_nmi() a little bit. Instead of calling the
die_notifier in both the if and else part, just pull it out and call it before
the if-statement. This has the side benefit of avoiding a call to the ioport
to see if there is an external NMI sitting around until after the (more frequent)
internal NMIs are dealt with.

In order to consolidate the NMI die_chain events, we need to setup the priorities
for the die notifiers.
I started by defining a bunch of common priorities that can be used by the
notifier blocks. Then I modified the notifier blocks to use the newly created
priorities.
Now that the priorities are straightened out, it should be easier to remove the
event DIE_NMI_IPI.

This patch reworks oprofile cpu hotplug code as follows:
Introduce ctr_running variable to check, if counters are running or
not. The state must be known for taking a cpu on or offline and when
switching counters during counter multiplexing.
Protect on_each_cpu() sections with get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpu()
functions. This is necessary if notifiers or states are
modified. Within these sections the cpu mask may not change.
Switch only between counters in nmi_cpu_switch(), if counters are
running. Otherwise the switch may restart a counter though they are
disabled.
Add nmi_cpu_setup() and nmi_cpu_shutdown() to cpu hotplug code. The
function must also be called to avoid uninitialzed counter usage.

The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing feature
enables OProfile to gather more events than counters are provided by
the hardware. This is realized by switching between events at an user
specified time interval.
A new file (/dev/oprofile/time_slice) is added for the user to specify
the timer interval in ms. If the number of events to profile is higher
than the number of hardware counters available, the patch will
schedule a work queue that switches the event counter and re-writes
the different sets of values into it. The switching mechanism needs to
be implemented for each architecture to support multiplexing. This
patch only implements AMD CPU support, but multiplexing can be easily
extended for other models and architectures.
There are follow-on patches that rework parts of this patch.
