f5f9340b98 Add software PMC support.
New kernel events can be added at various location for sampling or counting.
This will for example allow easy system profiling whatever the processor is
with known tools like pmcstat(8).

Simultaneous usage of software PMC and hardware PMC is possible, for example
looking at the lock acquire failure, page fault while sampling on
instructions.

71a19bdc64 Commit the support for removing cpumask_t and replacing it directly with
cpuset_t objects.
That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of
MAXCPU and then support for number of cpus > 32 (as it is today).

Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.
cpumask_t on the other side is implemented as an array of longs, and
easilly extendible by definition.

The architectures touched by this commit are the following:
- amd64
- i386
- pc98
- arm
- ia64
- XEN

while the others are still missing.
Userland is believed to be fully converted with the changes contained
here.

Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
  different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
  accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
  considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
  primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
  with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
  userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
  correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now

The patch has been tested by sbruno and Nicholas Esborn on opteron
4 x 12 pack CPUs. More testing on big SMP is expected to came soon.
pluknet tested the patch with his 8-ways on both amd64 and i386.

de5b19526b Add some FEATURE macros for various features (AUDIT/CAM/IPC/KTR/MAC/NFS/NTP/
PMC/SYSV/...).

No FreeBSD version bump, the userland application to query the features will
be committed last and can serve as an indication of the availablility if
needed.

fadcc6e201 Fail the module loading process if the currently executing kernel
was not compiled with 'options HWPMC_HOOKS' or if the compiled-in
version numbers of the kernel and module are out of sync.

f263522a45 MFP4:
- Implement sampling modes and logging support in hwpmc(4).

- Separate MI and MD parts of hwpmc(4) and allow sharing of
  PMC implementations across different architectures.
  Add support for P4 (EMT64) style PMCs to the amd64 code.

- New pmcstat(8) options: -E (exit time counts) -W (counts
  every context switch), -R (print log file).

- pmc(3) API changes, improve our ability to keep ABI compatibility
  in the future.  Add more 'alias' names for commonly used events.

- bug fixes & documentation.

1020bb9756 Do not conditionally compile the contents of this file upon whether
HWPMC_HOOKS is defined. The pmc_cpu_is_*() functions in this file
are referenced unconditionally by hwpmc(4).

This is mostly a stop-gap. The pmc_cpu_is*() function should
probably be declared inline in <sys/pmc.h> or <sys/pmckern.h> and
the function pointers with corresponding SX lock should probably
be moved to another file and compiled conditionally upon HWPMC_HOOKS.
