Struct paicrypt_map is a data structure and is statically defined
for each possible CPU. Rework this and replace it by dynamically
allocated data structures created when a perf_event_open() system call
is invoked.
It is replaced by an array of pointers to all possible CPUs and
reference counting. The array of pointers is allocated when the first
event is created. For each online CPU an event is installed on, a struct
paicrypt_map is allocated and a pointer to struct cpu_cf_events is
stored in the array:
CPU 0 1 2 3 ... N
+---+---+---+---+---+---+
paicrypt_root::mapptr--> | * | | | |...| |
+-|-+---+---+---+---+---+
|
|
\|/
+--------------+
| paicrypt_map |
+--------------+
With this approach the large data structure is only allocated when
an event is actually installed and used.
Also implement proper reference counting for allocation and removal.
PAI crypto counter events can not be created when a CPU hot plug
add is processed. This means a CPU hot plug add does not get
the necessary PAI event to record PAI cryptography counter increments
on the newly added CPU. There is no possibility to notify user space
of a new CPU and the necessary event infrastructure assoiciated with
the file descriptor returned by perf_event_open() system call.
However system call perf_event_open() can use the newly added CPU
when issued after the CPU hot plug add.
Kernel CPU hot plug remove deletes the CPU and stops the PAI counters on
that CPU. When the process closes the file descriptor associated
with that event, the event's destroy() function removes any
allocated data structures and adjusts the reference counts.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
