We used the PME_ prefix earlier to avoid some macro/variable name
collisions. We have since changed the way we define/use the event
macros so we no longer need the prefix.
By dropping the prefix, we keep the the event macros consistent with
their official names.

To support per-event exclude settings on Power8 we need access to the
struct perf_events in compute_mmcr().

Power7 supports over 530 different perf events but only a small subset
of these can be specified by name, for the remaining events, we must
specify them by their raw code:
perf stat -e r2003c <application>
This patch makes all the POWER7 events available in sysfs. So we can
instead specify these as:
perf stat -e 'cpu/PM_CMPLU_STALL_DFU/' <application>
where PM_CMPLU_STALL_DFU is the r2003c in previous example.
Before this patch is applied, the size of power7-pmu.o is:
$ size arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o
text data bss dec hex filename
3073 2720 0 5793 16a1 arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o
and after the patch is applied, it is:
$ size arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o
text data bss dec hex filename
15950 31112 0 47062 b7d6 arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o
For the run time overhead, I use two scripts, one is "event_name.sh",
which contains 50 event names, it looks like:
# ./perf record -e 'cpu/PM_CMPLU_STALL_DFU/' -e ..... /bin/sleep 1
the other one is named "event_code.sh" which use corresponding events
raw
code instead of events names, it looks like:
# ./perf record -e r2003c -e ...... /bin/sleep 1
below is the result.
Using events name:
[root@localhost perf]# time ./event_name.sh
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB perf.data (~102 samples) ]
real 0m1.192s
user 0m0.028s
sys 0m0.106s
Using events raw code:
[root@localhost perf]# time ./event_code.sh
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.003 MB perf.data (~112 samples) ]
real 0m1.198s
user 0m0.028s
sys 0m0.105s

Make some POWER7-specific perf events available in sysfs.

PM_LD_REF_L1

where the 'PM_*' events are POWER specific and the others are the
generic events.
This will enable users to specify these events with their symbolic
names rather than with their raw code.
perf stat -e 'cpu/PM_CYC' ...

If we have two cache events that require different settings of the L2SEL
bits in MMCR1 then we can not schedule those events simultaneously. Add
logic to the constraint handling to express that.

powerpc/perf: Sample only if SIAR-Valid bit is set in P7+
On POWER7+ two new bits (mmcra[35] and mmcra[36]) indicate whether the
contents of SIAR and SDAR are valid.
For marked instructions on P7+, we must save the contents of SIAR and
SDAR registers only if these new bits are set.
This code/check for the SIAR-Valid bit is specific to P7+, so rather than
waste a CPU-feature bit use the PVR flag.
Note that Carl Love proposed a similar change for oprofile:

The perf code has grown a lot since it started, and is big enough to
warrant its own subdirectory. For reference it's ~60% bigger than the
oprofile code. It declutters the kernel directory, makes it simpler to
grep for "just perf stuff", and allows us to shorten some filenames.
While we're at it, make it more obvious that we have two implementations
of the core perf logic. One for (roughly) Book3S CPUs, which was the
original implementation, and the other for Freescale embedded CPUs.
