Commit da4e4f18af ("drivers/perf: arm_pmu: implement CPU_PM notifier")
added code in the arm perf infrastructure that allows the kernel to
save/restore perf counters whenever the CPU enters a low-power
state. The kernel saves/restores the counters for each active event
through the armpmu_{stop/start} ARM pmu API, so that the low-power state
enter/exit cycle is emulated through pmu start/stop operations for each
event in use.
However, calling armpmu_start() for each active event on power up
executes code that requires RCU locking (perf_event_update_userpage())
to be functional, so, given that the core may call the CPU_PM notifiers
while running the idle thread in an quiescent RCU state this is not
allowed as detected through the following splat when kernel is run with
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled:

This patch wraps the armpmu_start() call (that indirectly calls
perf_event_update_userpage()) on CPU_PM notifier power state exit (or
failed entry) within the RCU_NONIDLE() macro so that the RCU subsystem
is made aware the calling cpu is not idle from an RCU perspective for
the armpmu_start() call duration, therefore fixing the issue.

Commit c6b90653f1 ("drivers/perf: arm_pmu: make info messages more
verbose") breaks booting on systems where the PMU is probed without
devicetree (e.g by inspecting the MIDR of the current CPU). In this case,
pdev->dev.of_node is NULL and we shouldn't try to access its ->fullname
field when printing probe error messages.
This patch fixes the probing code to use of_node_full_name, which safely
handles NULL nodes and removes the "Error %i" part of the string, since
it's not terribly useful.

When a CPU is suspended (either through suspend-to-RAM or CPUidle),
its PMU registers content can be lost, which means that counters
registers values that were initialized on power down entry have to be
reprogrammed on power-up to make sure the counters set-up is preserved
(ie on power-up registers take the reset values on Cold or Warm reset,
which can be architecturally UNKNOWN).
To guarantee seamless profiling conditions across a core power down
this patch adds a CPU PM notifier to ARM pmus, that upon CPU PM
entry/exit from low-power states saves/restores the pmu registers
set-up (by using the ARM perf API), so that the power-down/up cycle does
not affect the perf behaviour (apart from a black-out period between
power-up/down CPU PM notifications that is unavoidable).

On a big.LITTLE system e.g. with Cortex A57 and A53 in case not all cores
are online at PMU probe time we might get
hw perfevents: failed to probe PMU!
hw perfevents: failed to register PMU devices!
making it unclear which cores failed, here.
Add the device tree full name which failed and the error value resulting
in a more verbose and helpful message like
hw perfevents: /soc/pmu_a53: failed to probe PMU! Error -6
hw perfevents: /soc/pmu_a53: failed to register PMU devices! Error -6

ARMv7 counters other than the CPU cycle counter only work if the Secure
Debug Enable Register (SDER) SUNIDEN bit is set.
Since access to the SDER is only possible in secure state, it will
only be done if the device tree property "secure-reg-access" is set.
Without this:
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
14606094 cycles # 0.000 GHz
0 instructions # 0.00 insns per cycle
After applying:
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
5843809 cycles
2566484 instructions # 0.44 insns per cycle
1.020144000 seconds time elapsed
Some platforms (eg i.MX53) may also need additional platform specific
setup.

Nothing outside of drivers/perf/arm_pmu.c should call armpmu_register
any more, so it no longer needs to be in include/linux/perf/arm_pmu.h.
Additionally, by folding it in to arm_pmu_device_probe we can allow
drivers to override struct pmu fields without getting blatted by the
armpmu code.
This patch folds armpmu_register into arm_pmu_device_probe. The logging
to the console is moved to after the PMU is successfully registered with
the core perf code.

of_cpu_device_node_get increments the reference count on the CPU
device_node, so we must take care to of_node_put once we've finished
with it.
This patch fixes the perf IRQ probing code to avoid the leak.

To enable sharing of the arm_pmu code with arm64, this patch factors it
out to drivers/perf/. A new drivers/perf directory is added for
performance monitor drivers to live under.
MAINTAINERS is updated accordingly. Files added previously without a
corresponsing MAINTAINERS update (perf_regs.c, perf_callchain.c, and
perf_event.h) are also added.
