8326f44da0 perf_counter: Implement generalized cache event types
Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE
method.

This is a 3-dimensional space:

       { L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x
       { load, store, prefetch } x
       { accesses, misses }

User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides
a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the
combination makes sense.)

Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL.
Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP.

Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol
parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and
access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are
both valid aliases.

( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in,
  and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. )

a21ca2cac5 perf_counter: Separate out attr->type from attr->config
Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of
bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config.

Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field.

Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits
all around counter attribute management.

The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier
to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup).

(This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.)
(PowerPC build-tested.)

2f335a02b3 perf top: Fix zero or negative refresh delay
If perf top is executed with a zero value for the refresh rate,
we get a division by zero exception while computing samples_per_sec.

Also a zero refresh rate is not possible, neither do we want to
accept negative values.

[ Impact: fix division by zero in perf top ]

6dc5f2a417 perf_counter: Fix lockup with interrupting counters
Commit 8e3747c1 ("perf_counter: Change data head from u32 to u64")
changed the type of 'head' in struct perf_mmap_data from atomic_t
to atomic_long_t, but missed converting one use of atomic_read on
it to atomic_long_read.  The effect of using atomic_read rather than
atomic_long_read on powerpc (and other big-endian architectures) is
that we get the high half of the 64-bit quantity, resulting in the
cmpxchg retry loop in perf_output_begin spinning forever as soon as
data->head becomes non-zero.  On little-endian architectures such as
x86 we would get the low half, resulting in a lockup once data->head
becomes greater than 4G.

This fixes it by using atomic_long_read rather than atomic_read.

[ Impact: fix perfcounter lockup on PowerPC / big-endian systems ]

0f5486b5c7 perf_counter: Sleep before refresh using poll in perf top
perf top is refreshed every delay_secs the thread runs in such
loop:

while (sleep(delay_secs)) {
	print_sym_table();
}

At the end of print_sym_table(), poll is used without sleep delay
to check if we have something from stdin.

It means that this check is done only every delay_secs, which can
be higher that 2 secs if the user defined a custom refresh rate.

We can drop sleep() here and directly use poll to wait between
refresh periods, so that the reaction after the user stops perf top
after typing "Enter" is immediate and doesn't suffer from the
delay_secs latency.

Nb: poll doesn't add any overhead that can parasite perf top measures
since it sleeps the entire timeout here.

1b58c2515b perf_counter: powerpc: Use new identifier names in powerpc-specific code
Commit b23f3325 ("perf_counter: Rename various fields") fixed up
most of the uses of the renamed fields, but missed one instance
of "record_type" in powerpc-specific code which needs to be changed
to "sample_type", and a "PERF_RECORD_ADDR" in the same statement that
needs to be changed to "PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR", causing compilation
errors on powerpc.  This fixes it.

6e53cdf11d perf top: Reduce default filter threshold
On idle systems 'perf top' comes up empty by default, because the event
count filter is set to 100.

Reduce it to 5 instead.

Also add an option to limit the number of functions displayed.

128f048f0f perf_counter: Fix throttling lock-up
Throttling logic is broken and we can lock up with too small
hw sampling intervals.

Make the throttling code more robust: disable counters even
if we already disabled them.

( Also clean up whitespace damage i noticed while reading
  various pieces of code related to throttling. )
