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.

21157ad3b1 Adjust the handling of the local APIC PMC interrupt vector:
- Provide lapic_disable_pmc(), lapic_enable_pmc(), and lapic_reenable_pmc()
  routines in the local APIC code that the hwpmc(4) driver can use to
  manage the local APIC PMC interrupt vector.
- Do not enable the local APIC PMC interrupt vector by default when
  HWPMC_HOOKS is enabled.  Instead, the hwpmc(4) driver explicitly
  enables the interrupt when it is succesfully initialized and disables
  the interrupt when it is unloaded.  This avoids enabling the interrupt
  on unsupported CPUs which may result in spurious NMIs.

dfd9bc23c9 - Efficiency tweak: when checking for PMC overflows, only go to
hardware for PMCs that have been configured for sampling.

- Bug fix: acknowledge PMC hardware overflows irrespective of the
  the (software) PMC's state.

e829eb6d61 - Separate PMC class dependent code from other kinds of machine
dependencies.  A 'struct pmc_classdep' structure describes operations
  on PMCs; 'struct pmc_mdep' contains one or more 'struct pmc_classdep'
  structures depending on the CPU in question.

  Inside PMC class dependent code, row indices are relative to the
  PMCs supported by the PMC class; MI code in "hwpmc_mod.c" translates
  global row indices before invoking class dependent operations.

- Augment the OP_GETCPUINFO request with the number of PMCs present
  in a PMC class.

- Move code common to Intel CPUs to file "hwpmc_intel.c".

- Move TSC handling to file "hwpmc_tsc.c".

fbf1556d46 sys/dev/hwpmc/hwpmc_{amd,piv,ppro}.c:
- Update driver interrupt statistics correctly.

sys/sys/pmc.h, sys/dev/hwpmc/hwpmc_mod.c:
- Fix a bug affecting debug printfs.
- Move the 'stalled' flag from being in a bit in the
  'pm_flags' field of a 'struct pmc' to a field of its own in the
  same structure.  This flag is updated from the NMI handler and
  keeping it separate makes it easier to avoid races with other
  parts of the code.

sys/dev/hwpmc/hwpmc_logging.c:
- Do arithmetic with 'uintptr_t' types rather that casting
  to and from 'char *'.

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.

c5153e190b Add convenience APIs pmc_width() and pmc_capabilities() to -lpmc.
Have pmcstat(8) and pmccontrol(8) use these APIs.

Return PMC class-related constants (PMC widths and capabilities)
with the OP GETCPUINFO call leaving OP PMCINFO to return only the
dynamic information associated with a PMC (i.e., whether enabled,
owner pid, reload count etc.).

Allow pmc_read() (i.e., OPS PMCRW) on active self-attached PMCs to
get upto-date values from hardware since we can guarantee that the
hardware is running the correct PMC at the time of the call.

Bug fixes:
 - (x86 class processors) Fix a bug that prevented an RDPMC
   instruction from being recognized as permitted till after the
   attached process had context switched out and back in again after
   a pmc_start() call.

   Tighten the rules for using RDPMC class instructions: a GETMSR
   OP is now allowed only after an OP ATTACH has been done by the
   PMC's owner to itself.  OP GETMSR is not allowed for PMCs that
   track descendants, for PMCs attached to processes other than
   their owner processes.

 - (P4/HTT processors only) Fix a bug that caused the MI and MD
   layers to get out of sync.  Add a new MD operation 'get_config()'
   as part of this fix.

 - Allow multiple system-mode PMCs at the same row-index but on
   different CPUs to be allocated.

 - Reject allocation of an administratively disabled PMC.

Misc. code cleanups and refactoring.  Improve a few comments.

6b8c8cd85f Return the correct register number in the 'get_msr()' MD function.
Only allow a process to use the x86 RDPMC instruction if it has
allocated and attached a PMC to itself.

Inform the MD layer of the "pseudo context switch out" that needs
to be done when the last thread of a process is exiting.

7ad17ef97e Include <sys/pmc.h> instead of <machine/pmc_mdep.h>. The MI header
includes the MD header for us. Do not include <machine/specialreg.h>
as it is not a header file that can be included from MI files. It
is included from <machine/pmc_mdep.h> if so needed and possible.
