Currently, cpu_hw_events is a global per-CPU variable. To enable
support for multiple PMUs, there needs to be a mapping from an instance
of arm_pmu to its cpu_hw_events. Additionally, as system PMUs are not
CPU-affine, they should not have this stored per-CPU.
This patch moves access to the hardware events data behind an accessor
function (arm_pmu::get_hw_events). This allows each instance to have
its own hardware event data, which can be stored per-CPU or globally as
required.

Commit 5dfc54e0 ("ARM: GIC: avoid routing interrupts to offline CPUs")
prevents the GIC from setting the affinity of an IRQ to a CPU with

where more IRQs were registered than possible CPUs.
This patch fixes the problem by using a cpumask_t to keep track of the
active (requested) interrupts in perf. The same effect could be achieved
by limiting the number of IRQs to the number of CPUs, but using a mask
instead will be useful for adding extended CPU hotplug support in the

Once upon a time, OProfile and Perf fought hard over who could play with
the PMU. To stop all hell from breaking loose, pmu.c offered an internal
reserve/release API and took care of parsing PMU platform data passed in
from board support code.
Now that Perf has ingested OProfile, let's move the platform device
handling into the Perf driver and out of the PMU locking code.
Unfortunately, the lock has to remain to prevent Perf being bitten by
out-of-tree modules such as LTTng, which still claim a right to the PMU

This patch adds irq_domain infrastructure for translating from
hardware irq numbers to linux irqs. This is particularly important
for architectures adding device tree support because the current
implementation (excluding PowerPC and SPARC) cannot handle
translation for more than a single interrupt controller. irq_domain
supports device tree translation for any number of interrupt
controllers.
This patch converts x86, Microblaze, ARM and MIPS to use irq_domain
for device tree irq translation. x86 is untested beyond compiling it,
irq_domain is enabled for MIPS and Microblaze, but the old behaviour is
preserved until the core code is modified to actually register an
irq_domain yet. On ARM it works and is required for much of the new
ARM device tree board support.
PowerPC has /not/ been converted to use this new infrastructure. It
is still missing some features before it can replace the virq
infrastructure already in powerpc (see documentation on
irq_domain_map/unmap for details). Followup patches will add the
missing pieces and migrate PowerPC to use irq_domain.
SPARC has its own method of managing interrupts from the device tree
and is unaffected by this change.

Our selection of interrupts to consider for IRQ migration is sub-
standard. We were potentially including per-CPU interrupts in our
migration strategy, but omitting chained interrupts. This caused
some interrupts to remain on a downed CPU.
We were also trying to migrate interrupts which were not migratable,
resulting in an OOPS.
Instead, iterate over all interrupts, skipping per-CPU interrupts
or interrupts whose affinity does not include the downed CPU, and
attempt to set the affinity for every one else if their chip
implements irq_set_affinity().

Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not
explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or
Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2
kernels. As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage
decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction
set state.
This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to
be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered
in ARM.
Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy.
A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when
support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support
the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that
the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.
