49874f6ea3 MFP4: Support for profiling dynamically loaded objects.
Kernel changes:

  Inform hwpmc of executable objects brought into the system by
  kldload() and mmap(), and of their removal by kldunload() and
  munmap().  A helper function linker_hwpmc_list_objects() has been
  added to "sys/kern/kern_linker.c" and is used by hwpmc to retrieve
  the list of currently loaded kernel modules.

  The unused `MAPPINGCHANGE' event has been deprecated in favour
  of separate `MAP_IN' and `MAP_OUT' events; this change reduces
  space wastage in the log.

  Bump the hwpmc's ABI version to "2.0.00".  Teach hwpmc(4) to
  handle the map change callbacks.

  Change the default per-cpu sample buffer size to hold
  32 samples (up from 16).

  Increment __FreeBSD_version.

libpmc(3) changes:

  Update libpmc(3) to deal with the new events in the log file; bring
  the pmclog(3) manual page in sync with the code.

pmcstat(8) changes:

  Introduce new options to pmcstat(8): "-r" (root fs path), "-M"
  (mapfile name), "-q"/"-v" (verbosity control).  Option "-k" now
  takes a kernel directory as its argument but will also work with
  the older invocation syntax.

  Rework string handling in pmcstat(8) to use an opaque type for
  interned strings.  Clean up ELF parsing code and add support for
  tracking dynamic object mappings reported by a v2.0.00 hwpmc(4).

  Report statistics at the end of a log conversion run depending
  on the requested verbosity level.

151392465f MFP4:
- pmcstat(8) gprof output mode fixes:

  lib/libpmc/pmclog.{c,h}, sys/sys/pmclog.h:
  + Add a 'is_usermode' field to the PMCLOG_PCSAMPLE event
  + Add an 'entryaddr' field to the PMCLOG_PROCEXEC event,
    so that pmcstat(8) can determine where the runtime loader
    /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 is getting loaded.

  sys/kern/kern_exec.c:
  + Use a local struct to group the entry address of the image being
    exec()'ed and the process credential changed flag to the exec
    handling hook inside hwpmc(4).

  usr.sbin/pmcstat/*:
  + Support "-k kernelpath", "-D sampledir".
  + Implement the ELF bits of 'gmon.out' profile generation in a new
    file "pmcstat_log.c".  Move all log related functions to this
    file.
  + Move local definitions and prototypes to "pmcstat.h"

- Other bug fixes:
  + lib/libpmc/pmclog.c: correctly handle EOF in pmclog_read().
  + sys/dev/hwpmc_mod.c: unconditionally log a PROCEXIT event to all
    attached PMCs when a process exits.
  + sys/sys/pmc.h: correct a function prototype.
  + Improve usage checks in pmcstat(8).

- Separate MI and MD parts of hwpmc(4) and allow sharing of
  PMC implementations across different architectures.

- 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.

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.

04e9feb06c o Do not include <machine/pmc_mdep.h>. It's automaticly included for
us when <sys/pmc.h> is included.
o  Replace "#if __i386__" and "#if __amd64__" with the equivalent of
   "#ifdef __i386__" and "#ifdef __amd64__" (resp.) These tokens are
   not defined on all platforms.
o  Conditionally compile pmc_parse_mask() on i386 and amd64 only. It's
   only referenced there. This will change when support for other
   platforms is added, of course.
