Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "This is the powerpc new goodies for 3.17. The short story:
The biggest bit is Michael removing all of pre-POWER4 processor support from the 64-bit kernel. POWER3 and rs64. This gets rid of a ton of old cruft that has been bitrotting in a long while. It was broken for quite a few versions already and nobody noticed. Nobody uses those machines anymore. While at it, he cleaned up a bunch of old dusty cabinets, getting rid of a skeletton or two.
Then, we have some base VFIO support for KVM, which allows assigning of PCI devices to KVM guests, support for large 64-bit BARs on "powernv" platforms, support for HMI (Hardware Management Interrupts) on those same platforms, some sparse-vmemmap improvements (for memory hotplug),
There is the usual batch of Freescale embedded updates (summary in the merge commit) and fixes here or there, I think that's it for the highlights"

powerpc/perf: Fix instruction address sampling on 970 and Power4
970 and Power4 don't support "continuous sampling" which means that when we aren't in marked instruction sampling mode (marked events), SIAR isn't updated with the last instruction sampled before the perf interrupt. On those processors, we must thus use the exception SRR0 value as the sampled instruction pointer.
Those processors also don't support the SIPR and SIHV bits in MMCRA which means we need some kind of heuristic to decide if SIAR values represent kernel or user addresses.

powerpc/perf: Move perf core & PMU code into a subdirectory
The perf code has grown a lot since it started, and is big enough to warrant its own subdirectory. For reference it's ~60% bigger than the oprofile code. It declutters the kernel directory, makes it simpler to grep for "just perf stuff", and allows us to shorten some filenames.
While we're at it, make it more obvious that we have two implementations of the core perf logic. One for (roughly) Book3S CPUs, which was the original implementation, and the other for Freescale embedded CPUs.

perf, arch: Add generic NODE cache events
Add a NODE level to the generic cache events which is used to measure local vs remote memory accesses. Like all other cache events, an ACCESS is HIT+MISS, if there is no way to distinguish between reads and writes do reads only etc..
The below needs filling out for !x86 (which I filled out with unsupported events).
I'm fairly sure ARM can leave it like that since it doesn't strike me as an architecture that even has NUMA support. SH might have something since it does appear to have some NUMA bits.
Sparc64, PowerPC and MIPS certainly want a good look there since they clearly are NUMA capable.

perf, arch: Cleanup perf-pmu init vs lockup-detector
The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot, some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall() and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit initcall right after that.

powerpc/perf: Fix sampling enable for PPC970
The logic to distinguish marked instruction events from ordinary events on PPC970 and derivatives was flawed. The result is that instruction sampling didn't get enabled in the PMU for some marked instruction events, so they would never trigger. This fixes it by adding the appropriate break statements in the switch statement.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )
