This change fixes a linking problem, which happens if oprofile
is selected to be compiled as built-in:
`oprofile_arch_exit' referenced in section `.init.text' of
arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o: defined in discarded section
`.exit.text' of arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o
The problem is appeared after commit 87121ca504, which
introduced oprofile_arch_exit() calls from __init function. Note
that the aforementioned commit has been backported to stable
branches, and the problem is known to be reproduced at least
with 3.0.13 and 3.1.5 kernels.

Presently with hardware counter support disabled the backtrace op never
gets initialized. This is a regression over the previous behaviour, so
simply add it back in.

op_name_from_perf_id() currently returns a local variable, which isn't
terribly productive. As we only handle a single PMU case for now, simply
allocate and free the string from the arch init/exit context and have
op_name_from_perf_id() hand back the cached string.
This also takes UTS_MACHINE in to account, given that we build for
multiple architectures.

Now that we've got a generic perf-events based oprofile backend we might
as well make use of it seeing as SH doesn't do anything special with its
oprofile backend. Also introduce a new CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS symbol so
that we can fallback to using the timer interrupt for oprofile if the
CPU doesn't support perf events.
Also, to avoid a section mismatch warning we need to annotate
oprofile_arch_exit() with an __exit marker.

This kills off the old SH7750 oprofile driver, preferring perf instead.
As this driver has a number of bugs that no one seems to have noticed,
it's safe to kill this off now rather than providing an extended
transition period.
The old oprofile framework is still kept in place for now, primarily to
give out-of-tree drivers a chance to transition off. But this too will be
killed off in short order.

This adds preliminary support for the SH7786 CPU subtype.
While this is a dual-core CPU, only UP is supported for now. L2 cache
support is likewise not yet implemented.
More information on this particular CPU subtype is available at:

This re-implements the old op_model_null code in to something more
generic, where multiple drivers, backtrace, etc. can all be interfaced.
Based largely on arch/mips/oprofile/common.c.
