Paul Mackerras 0bbd0d4be8 perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter overflow events
This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on
powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events,
including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified.

Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier
processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6
field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and
defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6)
and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor
uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier
positions.  It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and
old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR
values come from the same instruction.

For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not
doing instruction sampling.  In that case there is no guarantee
that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will
correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the
PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord.

If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter
is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply
the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it
corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the
PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord.  Otherwise we supply 0.

[ Impact: support more PMU hardware features on PowerPC ]

* The power_pmu.get_constraint function returns a 64-bit value and
* a 64-bit mask that express the constraints between this event and
* other events.
*
* The value and mask are divided up into (non-overlapping) bitfields
* of three different types:
*
* Select field: this expresses the constraint that some set of bits
* in MMCR* needs to be set to a specific value for this event. For a
* select field, the mask contains 1s in every bit of the field, and
* the value contains a unique value for each possible setting of the
* MMCR* bits. The constraint checking code will ensure that two events
* that set the same field in their masks have the same value in their
* value dwords.
*
* Add field: this expresses the constraint that there can be at most
* N events in a particular class. A field of k bits can be used for
* N <= 2^(k-1) - 1. The mask has the most significant bit of the field
* set (and the other bits 0), and the value has only the least significant
* bit of the field set. In addition, the 'add_fields' and 'test_adder'
* in the struct power_pmu for this processor come into play. The
* add_fields value contains 1 in the LSB of the field, and the
* test_adder contains 2^(k-1) - 1 - N in the field.
*
* NAND field: this expresses the constraint that you may not have events
* in all of a set of classes. (For example, on PPC970, you can't select
* events from the FPU, ISU and IDU simultaneously, although any two are
* possible.) For N classes, the field is N+1 bits wide, and each class
* is assigned one bit from the least-significant N bits. The mask has
* only the most-significant bit set, and the value has only the bit
* for the event's class set. The test_adder has the least significant
* bit set in the field.
*
* If an event is not subject to the constraint expressed by a particular
* field, then it will have 0 in both the mask and value for that field.
