On 64bit, local_t is of size long, and thus we make local64_t an alias.
On 32bit, we fall back to atomic64_t. (architecture can provide optimized
32-bit version)
(This new facility is to be used by perf events optimizations.)

On Netburst PMU we need a second write to a performance counter
due to cpu erratum.
A simple flag test instead of alternative instructions was choosen
because wrmsrl is already a macro and if virtualization is turned
on will need an additional wrapper call which is more expencise.
nb: we should propably switch to jump-labels as only this facility
reach the mainline.

Fixes to 'cpuid10_edx' to comply with Intel documentation.
According to the Intel Manual, Volume 2A, Table 3-12, the cpuid for
architecture performance monitoring returns, in EDX, two pieces of
information:
1) Number of fixed-function counters (5 bits, not 4)
2) Width of fixed-function counters (8 bits)

Frederic reported that frequency driven swevents didn't work properly
and even caused a division-by-zero error.
It turns out there are two bugs, the division-by-zero comes from a
failure to deal with that in perf_calculate_period().
The other was more interesting and turned out to be a wrong comparison
in perf_adjust_period(). The comparison was between an s64 and u64 and
got implicitly converted to an unsigned comparison. The problem is
that period_left is typically < 0, so it ended up being always true.
Cure this by making the local period variables s64.

So that we don't require that the kernel be configured first, and as we
don't use KERNELRELEASE at all in the -src-pkg targets, we need o add a
new wildcard for targets ending in src-pkg:
On a make mrproper'ed kernel we get this without this patch:

In a shared multi-core environment, users want to analyze why their
program was slow. In particular, if the code ran slower only on certain
CPUs due to interference from other programs or kernel threads, the user
should be able to notice that.

perf report --sort cpu,comm

This patch adds the ability to specify an alternate directory to store the
buildid cache (buildids, copy of binaries). By default, it is hardcoded to
$HOME/.debug. This directory contains immutable data. The layout of the
directory is such that no conflicts in filenames are possible. A modification
in a file, yields a different buildid and thus a different location in the
subdir hierarchy.
You may want to put the buildid cache elsewhere because of disk space
limitation or simply to share the cache between users. It is also useful for
remote collect vs. local analysis of profiles.
This patch adds a new config option to the perfconfig file. Under the tag
'buildid', there is a dir option. For instance, if you have:
$ cat /etc/perfconfig
[buildid]
dir = /var/cache/perf-buildid
All buildids and binaries are be saved in the directory specified. The perf
record, buildid-list, buildid-cache, report, annotate, and archive commands
will it to pull information out.
The option can be set in the system-wide perfconfig file or in the
$HOME/.perfconfig file.

This patch adds a -C option to stat, record, top to designate a list of CPUs to
monitor. CPUs can be specified as a comma-separated list or ranges, no space
allowed.
Examples:
$ perf record -a -C0-1,4-7 sleep 1
$ perf top -C0-4
$ perf stat -a -C1,2,3,4 sleep 1
With perf record in per-thread mode with inherit mode on, samples are collected
only when the thread runs on the designated CPUs.
The -C option does not turn on system-wide mode automatically.

We need to set the long name to the name specified via, for instance,
'perf annotate --vmlinux /path/to/vmlinux', if not it will remain as
'[kernel.kallsyms]' and that will make annotate fail when passing this
as the vmlinux name in the call to objdump.
The way this is setup grew unwieldly and dso__load_vmlinux is the
function that should allocate space for the long name, with callers not
assuming that filenames should be allocated somehow by then (strdup,
dso__build_id_filename, etc).
For now this is the minimalistic patch, a proper fix for .36 will be
made.
