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.

Some of the more recent e300 cores have the same performance monitor
implementation as the e500. e300 isn't book-e, so the name isn't
really appropriate. In preparation for e300 support, rename a bunch

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.

A few code paths need to check whether or not they are running
on the PS3's LV1 hypervisor before making hcalls. This introduces
a new firmware feature bit for this, FW_FEATURE_PS3_LV1.
Now when both PS3 and IBM_CELL_BLADE are enabled, but not PSERIES,
FW_FEATURE_PS3_LV1 and FW_FEATURE_LPAR get enabled at compile time,
which is a bug. The same problem can also happen for (PPC_ISERIES &&
!PPC_PSERIES && PPC_SOMETHING_ELSE). In order to solve this, I
introduce a new CONFIG_PPC_NATIVE option that is set when at least
one platform is selected that can run without a hypervisor and then
turns the firmware feature check into a run-time option.
The new cell oprofile support that was recently merged does not
work on hypervisor based platforms like the PS3, therefore make
it depend on PPC_CELL_NATIVE instead of PPC_CELL. This may change
if we get oprofile support for PS3.

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.

Fixed a compile error in building the 85xx support with oprofile, and in
the process cleaned up some issues with the fsl_booke performance monitor
code.
* Reorganized FSL Book-E performance monitoring code so that the 7450
wouldn't be built if the e500 was, and cleaned it up so it was more
self-contained.
* Added a cpu_setup function for FSL Book-E. The original
cpu_setup function prototype had no arguments, assuming that
the reg_setup function would copy the required information into
variables which represented the registers. This was silly for
e500, since it has 1 register per counter (rather than 3 for
all counters), so the code has been restructured to have
cpu_setup take the current counter config array as an argument,
with op_powerpc_setup() invoking op_powerpc_cpu_setup() through
on_each_cpu(), and op_powerpc_cpu_setup() invoking the
model-specific cpu_setup function with an argument. The
argument is ignored on all other platforms at present.
* Fixed a confusing line where a trinary operator only had two
arguments

nmi_create_files() in arch/i386/oprofile/nmi_int.c depends on
model->num_counters (number of performance counters) being less than 10.
While this is currently the case, it's too clever by half.
Other archs aren't quite as clever: they assume 100. I suggest to
normalize them all to 1000.
