In order to provide PMU name strings compatible with the OProfile
user ABI, an enumeration of all PMUs is currently used by perf to
identify each PMU uniquely. Unfortunately, this does not scale well
in the presence of multiple PMUs and creates a single, global namespace
across all PMUs in the system.
This patch removes the enumeration and instead uses the name string
for the PMU to map onto the OProfile variant. perf_pmu_name is
implemented for CPU PMUs, which is all that OProfile cares about anyway.

We always need to pass the last sample period to
perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be
wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period
as argument. So basically a pattern like this:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL);
data.period = event->hw.last_period;
will now be like that:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period);
Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

The PMU IRQ handlers in perf assume that if a counter has overflowed
then perf must be responsible. In the paranoid world of crazy hardware,
this could be false, so check that we do have a valid event before
attempting to dereference NULL in the interrupt path.

When disabling a counter on an ARMv7 PMU, we should also clear the
overflow flag in case an overflow occurred whilst stopping the counter.
This prevents a spurious overflow being picked up later and leading to
either false accounting or a NULL dereference.

On ARM, the PMU does not stop counting after an overflow and therefore
IRQ latency affects the new counter value read by the kernel. This is
significant for non-sampling runs where it is possible for the new value
to overtake the previous one, causing the delta to be out by up to
max_period events.
Commit a737823d ("ARM: 6835/1: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due
to IRQ latency") attempted to fix this problem by allowing interrupt
handlers to pass an overflow flag to the event update function, causing
the overflow calculation to assume that the counter passed through zero
when going from prev to new. Unfortunately, this doesn't work when
overflow occurs on the perf_task_tick path because we have the flag
cleared and end up computing a large negative delta.
This patch removes the overflow flag from armpmu_event_update and
instead limits the sample_period to half of the max_period for
non-sampling profiling runs.

This patch updates the ARMv7 perf event numbers so that:
(1) A consistent naming scheme is used between different CPUs.
(2) Only events actually used by Linux are described.
(3) Where possible, architected events are used in preference to
CPU-specific events.
This results in the removal of a load of unused, hardcoded data and
makes it more clear as to which events are supported on each PMU.

Currently struct cpu_hw_events stores data on events running on a
PMU associated with a CPU. As this data is general enough to be used
for system PMUs, this name is a misnomer, and may cause confusion when
it is used for system PMUs.
Additionally, 'armpmu' is commonly used as a parameter name for an
instance of struct arm_pmu. The name is also used for a global instance
which represents the CPU's PMU.
As cpu_hw_events is now not tied to CPU PMUs, it is renamed to
pmu_hw_events, with instances of it renamed similarly. As the global
'armpmu' is CPU-specfic, it is renamed to cpu_pmu. This should make it
clearer which code is generic, and which is coupled with the CPU.

Add a NODE level to the generic cache events which is used to measure

I'm fairly sure ARM can leave it like that since it doesn't strike me as

it does appear to have some NUMA bits.
Sparc64, PowerPC and MIPS certainly want a good look there since they

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

If a counter overflows during a perf stat profiling run it may overtake
the last known value of the counter:
0 prev new 0xffffffff
|----------|-------|----------------------|
In this case, the number of events that have occurred is
(0xffffffff - prev) + new. Unfortunately, the event update code will
not realise an overflow has occurred and will instead report the event
delta as (new - prev) which may be considerably smaller than the real
count.
This patch adds an extra argument to armpmu_event_update which indicates
whether or not an overflow has occurred. If an overflow has occurred
then we use the maximum period of the counter to calculate the elapsed
events.
