Install the callbacks via the state machine and let the core invoke
the callbacks on the already online CPUs.
Since the online target runs always on the target CPU we can drop
smp_call_function_single(). The functions is invoked with interrupts off to
keep the old calling convention. If the maintainer things that this function
can be called with interrupts enabled then it can be removed :)

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the remaining one-off uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files in the drivers/* directory.

Remove exit functions by moving init/exit code to oprofile's setup/
shutdown functions. Doing so the oprofile module exit code will be
easier and less error-prone.

This patch is a rework of the hwsampler oprofile implementation that
has been applied recently. Now there are less non-architectural
changes. The only changes are:
* introduction of oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample(), and
* removal of section attributes of oprofile_timer_init/_exit().
To setup hwsampler for oprofile we need to modify start()/stop()
callbacks and additional hwsampler control files in oprofilefs. We do
not reinitialize the timer or hwsampler mode by restarting calling
init/exit() anymore, instead hwsampler_running is used to switch the
mode directly in oprofile_hwsampler_start/_stop(). For locking reasons
there is also hwsampler_file that reflects the value in oprofilefs.
The overall diffstat of the oprofile s390 hwsampler implemenation
shows the low impact to non-architectural code:

OProfile is enhanced to export all files for controlling System z's
hardware sampling, and to invoke hwsampler exported functions to
initialize and use System z's hardware sampling.
The patch invokes hwsampler_setup() during oprofile init and exports
following hwsampler files under oprofilefs if hwsampler's setup
succeeded:
A new directory for hardware sampling based files
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/
The userland daemon must explicitly write to the following files
to disable (or enable) hardware based sampling
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hwsampler
to modify the actual sampling rate
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_interval
to modify the amount of sampling memory (measured in 4K pages)
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_sdbt_blocks
The following files are read only and show
the possible minimum sampling rate
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_min_interval
the possible maximum sampling rate
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_max_interval
The patch splits the oprofile_timer_[init/exit] function so that it
can be also called through user context (oprofilefs) to avoid kernel
oops.
Applied with following changes:
* whitespace changes in Makefile and timer_int.c

The kernel build with CONFIG_OPROFILE and CPU_HOTPLUG enabled.
The oprofile is initialised using system timer in absence of hardware
counters supports. Oprofile isn't started from userland.
In this setup while doing a CPU offline the kernel hangs in infinite
for loop inside lock_hrtimer_base() function
This happens because as part of oprofile_cpu_notify(, it tries to
stop an hrtimer which was never started. These per-cpu hrtimers
are started when the oprfile is started.
echo 1 > /dev/oprofile/enable
This problem also existwhen the cpu is booted with maxcpus parameter
set. When bringing the remaining cpus online the timers are started
even if oprofile is not yet enabled.
This patch fix this issue by adding a state variable so that
these hrtimer start/stop is only attempted when oprofile is
started
For stable kernels v2.6.35.y and v2.6.36.y.

Oprofile is currently broken on systems running with NOHZ enabled.
A maximum of 1 tick is accounted via the timer_hook if a cpu sleeps
for a longer period of time. This does bad things to the percentages
in the profiler output. To solve this problem convert oprofile to
use a restarting hrtimer instead of the timer_hook.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
