This change fixes a linking problem, which happens if oprofile
is selected to be compiled as built-in:
`oprofile_arch_exit' referenced in section `.init.text' of
arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o: defined in discarded section
`.exit.text' of arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o
The problem is appeared after commit 87121ca504, which
introduced oprofile_arch_exit() calls from __init function. Note
that the aforementioned commit has been backported to stable
branches, and the problem is known to be reproduced at least
with 3.0.13 and 3.1.5 kernels.

watchdog, nmi: Lower the severity of error messages
ARM: oprofile: Fix backtraces in timer mode
oprofile: Fix usage of CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS for oprofile_perf_init and friends
Since tail is the previous fp - 1, we need to compare the new fp with tail + 1
to ensure that we don't end up passing in the same tail again, in order to
avoid a potential infinite loop in the perf interrupt handler (which has been
observed to occur). A similar fix seems to be needed in the OProfile code.

Always allow backtraces when using oprofile on ARM, even if a PMU
isn't present. Restores functionality originally introduced in commit
1b7b56982f ("oprofile: Always allow
backtraces on ARM") by Richard Purdie.
It is not that obvious, but there is now only one oprofile_arch_init()
function. So the .backtrace callback is available also in timer mode.
Implemented by removing code and using stubs for oprofile_perf_{init,
exit} provided by <linux/oprofile.h>. This allows cleaning of other
architecture specific implementations too.

Move the perf-events backend from arch/arm/oprofile into
drivers/oprofile so that the code can be shared between architectures.
This allows each architecture to maintain only a single copy of the PMU
accessor functions instead of one for both perf and OProfile. It also
becomes possible for other architectures to delete much of their
OProfile code in favour of the common code now available in
drivers/oprofile/oprofile_perf.c.

Make op_name_from_perf_id() global so that we have a way for each
architecture to construct an oprofile name for op->cpu_type. We need to
remove the argument from the function prototype so that we can hide all

The pointers must be NULL'ed to avoid double-freeing the pointers in
rare cases during reinitialization.
Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
Now that oprofile_arch_exit is only called when the OProfile module
is unloaded, it can assume that init completed successfully and not
have to worry about double frees or releasing NULL perf events.
This patch ensures that oprofile_arch_init fails gracefully on ARM
and simplifies the exit code based on the above.

This is a reworking of an original patch posted by Aaro Koskinen:
oprofile does not work with PM, because sysdev_suspend() is done with
interrupts disabled and oprofile needs a mutex. Implementing oprofile
as a platform device solves this problem.

Enable hardware perf-events if CPU_HAS_PMU and select
HAVE_OPROFILE if HAVE_PERF_EVENTS. If no hardware support
is present, OProfile will fall back to timer mode.
This patch also removes the old OProfile drivers in favour
of the code implemented by perf.

There are currently two hardware performance monitoring subsystems in
the kernel for ARM: OProfile and perf-events. This creates the
following problems:
1.) Duplicate PMU accessor code. Inevitable code drift may lead to
bugs in one framework that are fixed in the other.
2.) Locking issues. OProfile doesn't reprogram hardware counters
between profiling runs if the events to be monitored have not been
changed. This means that other profiling frameworks cannot use the
counters if OProfile is in use.
3.) Due to differences in the two frameworks, it may not be possible to
compare the results obtained by OProfile with those obtained by perf.
This patch removes the OProfile PMU driver code and replaces it with
calls to perf, therefore solving the issues mentioned above.
The only userspace-visible change is the lack of SCU counter support
for 11MPCore. This is currently unsupported by OProfile userspace tools anyway and therefore shouldn't cause any problems.

On Oprofile ARMv7 the PMNC_D bit was set to lower the PMU IRQs
and so to decrease the risk of errata #628216 from appearing.
The effect of setting the PMNC_D bit is that the CCNT counter
is divided by 64, making the program counter events count
inaccurate.
The new OMAP3 r4 cores should have that errata fixed.
The PMNC_D bit should not be set, this patch fixes it.

Impact: change existing irq_chip API
Not much point with gentle transition here: the struct irq_chip's
setaffinity method signature needs to change.
Fortunately, not widely used code, but hits a few architectures.
Note: In irq_select_affinity() I save a temporary in by mangling
irq_desc[irq].affinity directly. Ingo, does this break anything?
