This patch adds the SPU event based profiling funcitonality for the
IBM Cell processor. Previously, the CELL OProfile kernel code supported
PPU event, PPU cycle profiling and SPU cycle profiling. The addition of
SPU event profiling allows the users to identify where in their SPU code
various SPU evnets are occuring. This should help users further identify
issues with their code. Note, SPU profiling has some limitations due to HW
constraints. Only one event at a time can be used for profiling and SPU event
profiling must be time sliced across all of the SPUs in a node.
The patch adds a new arch specific file to the OProfile file system. The
file has bit 0 set to indicate that the kernel supports SPU event profiling.
The user tool must check this file/bit to make sure the kernel supports
SPU event profiling before trying to do SPU event profiling. The user tool
check is part of the user tool patch for SPU event profiling.

The size of the pm_signal_local array should be equal to the
number of SPUs being configured in the array. Currently, the
array is of size 4 (NR_PHYS_CTRS) but being indexed by a for
loop from 0 to 7 (NUM_SPUS_PER_NODE). This could potentially
cause an oops or random memory corruption since the pm_signal_local
array is on the stack. This fixes it.

This patch enables OProfile callgraph support for the Cell processor. The
original code was just calling a function to add the PC value, now it will
call a function that first checks the callgraph depth. Callgraph is already
enabled on the other Power platforms.

This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c
to add in the SPU profiling capabilities. In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory
was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code.
Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which
are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data
structures.
Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn). Check pointer
returned from kzalloc. Eliminated unnecessary cast. Better error
handling and cleanup in the related area. 64-bit unsigned long parameter
was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to
unsigned long.

The code was setting up the debug bus for group 21 when profiling on the
event PPU CYCLES. The debug bus is not actually used by the hardware
performance counters when counting PPU CYCLES. Setting up the debug bus
for PPU CYCLES causes signal routing conflicts on the debug bus when
profiling PPU cycles and another PPU event. This patch fixes the code to
only setup the debug bus to route the performance signals for the non
PPU CYCLE events.

This is a clean up patch that includes the following changes:
-Some comments were added to clarify the code based on feedback
from the community.
-The write_pm_cntrl() and set_count_mode() were passed a
structure element from a global variable. The argument was
removed so the functions now just operate on the global directly.
-The set_pm_event() function call in the cell_virtual_cntr()
routine was moved to a for-loop before the for_each_cpu loop

Add PPU event-based and cycle-based profiling support to Oprofile for Cell.
Oprofile is expected to collect data on all CPUs simultaneously.
However, there is one set of performance counters per node. There are
two hardware threads or virtual CPUs on each node. Hence, OProfile must
multiplex in time the performance counter collection on the two virtual
CPUs.
The multiplexing of the performance counters is done by a virtual
counter routine. Initially, the counters are configured to collect data
on the even CPUs in the system, one CPU per node. In order to capture
the PC for the virtual CPU when the performance counter interrupt occurs
(the specified number of events between samples has occurred), the even
processors are configured to handle the performance counter interrupts
for their node. The virtual counter routine is called via a kernel
timer after the virtual sample time. The routine stops the counters,
saves the current counts, loads the last counts for the other virtual
CPU on the node, sets interrupts to be handled by the other virtual CPU
and restarts the counters, the virtual timer routine is scheduled to run
again. The virtual sample time is kept relatively small to make sure
sampling occurs on both CPUs on the node with a relatively small
granularity. Whenever the counters overflow, the performance counter
interrupt is called to collect the PC for the CPU where data is being
collected.
The oprofile driver relies on a firmware RTAS call to setup the debug bus
to route the desired signals to the performance counter hardware to be
counted. The RTAS call must set the routing registers appropriately in
each of the islands to pass the signals down the debug bus as well as
routing the signals from a particular island onto the bus. There is a
second firmware RTAS call to reset the debug bus to the non pass thru
state when the counters are not in use.
