Add support for the Cluster PMU part of the ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit (DSU).
The DSU integrates one or more cores with an L3 memory system, control
logic, and external interfaces to form a multicore cluster. The PMU
allows counting the various events related to L3, SCU etc, along with
providing a cycle counter.
The PMU can be accessed via system registers, which are common
to the cores in the same cluster. The PMU registers follow the
semantics of the ARMv8 PMU, mostly, with the exception that
the counters record the cluster wide events.
This driver is mostly based on the ARMv8 and CCI PMU drivers.
The driver only supports ARM64 at the moment. It can be extended
to support ARM32 by providing register accessors like we do in
arch/arm64/include/arm_dsu_pmu.h.

The ARMv8.2 architecture introduces the optional Statistical Profiling
Extension (SPE).
SPE can be used to profile a population of operations in the CPU pipeline
after instruction decode. These are either architected instructions (i.e.
a dynamic instruction trace) or CPU-specific uops and the choice is fixed
statically in the hardware and advertised to userspace via caps/. Sampling
is controlled using a sampling interval, similar to a regular PMU counter,
but also with an optional random perturbation to avoid falling into patterns
where you continuously profile the same instruction in a hot loop.
After each operation is decoded, the interval counter is decremented. When
it hits zero, an operation is chosen for profiling and tracked within the
pipeline until it retires. Along the way, information such as TLB lookups,
cache misses, time spent to issue etc is captured in the form of a sample.
The sample is then filtered according to certain criteria (e.g. load
latency) that can be specified in the event config (described under
format/) and, if the sample satisfies the filter, it is written out to
memory as a record, otherwise it is discarded. Only one operation can
be sampled at a time.
The in-memory buffer is linear and virtually addressed, raising an
interrupt when it fills up. The PMU driver handles these interrupts to
give the appearance of a ring buffer, as expected by the AUX code.
The in-memory trace-like format is self-describing (though not parseable
in reverse) and written as a series of records, with each record
corresponding to a sample and consisting of a sequence of packets. These
packets are defined by the architecture, although some have CPU-specific
fields for recording information specific to the microarchitecture.
As a simple example, a record generated for a branch instruction may
consist of the following packets:
0 (Address) : Virtual PC of the branch instruction
1 (Type) : Conditional direct branch
2 (Counter) : Number of cycles taken from Dispatch to Issue
3 (Address) : Virtual branch target + condition flags
4 (Counter) : Number of cycles taken from Dispatch to Complete
5 (Events) : Mispredicted as not-taken
6 (END) : End of record
It is also possible to toggle properties such as timestamp packets in
each record.
This patch adds support for SPE in the form of a new perf driver.

This patch adds framework code to handle parsing PMU data out of the
MADT, sanity checking this, and managing the association of CPUs (and
their interrupts) with appropriate logical PMUs.
For the time being, we expect that only one PMU driver (PMUv3) will make
use of this, and we simply pass in a single probe function.
This is based on an earlier patch from Jeremy Linton.

This adds a new dynamic PMU to the Perf Events framework to program
and control the L3 cache PMUs in some Qualcomm Technologies SOCs.
The driver supports a distributed cache architecture where the overall
cache for a socket is comprised of multiple slices each with its own PMU.
Access to each individual PMU is provided even though all CPUs share all
the slices. User space needs to aggregate to individual counts to provide
a global picture.
The driver exports formatting and event information to sysfs so it can
be used by the perf user space tools with the syntaxes:
perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_0/read-miss/
perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_0/event=0x21/

Now that the arm_pmu framework has been factored out to drivers/perf we
can make use of it for arm64, gaining support for heterogeneous PMUs
and unifying the two codebases before they diverge further.
The as yet unused PMU name for PMUv3 is changed to armv8_pmuv3, matching
the style previously applied to the 32-bit PMUs.
