powerpc/perf: e500 support
This implements perf_event support for the Freescale embedded performance monitor, based on the existing perf_event.c that supports server/classic chips. Some limitations: - Performance monitor interrupts are regular EE interrupts, and thus you can't profile places with interrupts disabled. We may want to implement soft IRQ-disabling, with perfmon interrupts exempted and treated as NMIs. - When trying to schedule multiple event groups at once, and using restricted events, situations could arise where scheduling fails even though it would be possible. Consider three groups, each with two events. One group has restricted events, the others don't. The two non-restricted groups are scheduled, then one is removed, which happens to occupy the two counters that can't do restricted events. The remaining non-restricted group will not be moved to the non-restricted-capable counters to make room if the restricted group tries to be scheduled.

+ * The power_pmu.get_constraint function returns a 32/64-bit value and
+ * a 32/64-bit mask that express the constraints between this event_id 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_id. 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_id's class set. The test_adder has the least significant
+ * bit set in the field.
+ *
+ * If an event_id 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.
