go back through HASWELL, IVY_BRIDGE, IVY_BRIDGE_XEON and SANDY_BRIDGE
to straighten out all the missing PMCs. We also add a new pmc tool
pmcstudy, this allows one to run the various formulas from
the documents "Using Intel Vtune Amplifier XE on XXX Generation platforms" for
IB/SB and Haswell. The tool also allows one to postulate your own
formulas with any of the various PMC's. At some point I will enahance
this to work with Brendan Gregg's flame-graphs so we can flamegraph
various PMC interactions. Note the manual page also needs some
work (lots of work) but gnn has committed to help me with that ;-)

Core i7 and Westmere processors, the uncore PMC subsystem is
completely different from the uncore PMC on smaller versions of CPUs.
Disable existing uncore hwpmc code for EX, otherwise non-existing MSRs
are accessed.
The cores PMCs seems to be identical for non-EX and EX, according to
the SDM.

This also fixes asserts on removal of the module for the mpc74xx.
The PowerPC 970 processors have two different types of events: direct events
and indirect events. Thus far only direct events are supported. I included
some documentation in the driver on how indirect events work, but support is
for the future.

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.

- Westmere based CPU (Xeon 5600, Corei7 980X) support.
- New man pages with events list for core and uncore.
- Updated Corei7 events with Intel 253669-033US December 2009 doc.
There is some removed events in the documentation, they have been
kept in the code but documented in the man page as obsolete.
- Offcore response events can be setup with rsp token.

This brings hwpmc(4) support for 2nd and 3rd generation XScale cores.
Right now it's enabled by default to make sure we test this a bit.
When the time comes it can be disabled by default.

and Core Duo), models 0xF (Core2), model 0x17 (Core2Extreme) and
model 0x1C (Atom).
In these CPUs, the actual numbers, kinds and widths of PMCs present
need to queried at run time. Support for specific "architectural"
events also needs to be queried at run time.
Model 0xE CPUs support programmable PMCs, subsequent CPUs
additionally support "fixed-function" counters.
- Use event names that are close to vendor documentation, taking in
account that:
- events with identical semantics on two or more CPUs in this family
can have differing names in vendor documentation,
- identical vendor event names may map to differing events across
CPUs,
- each type of CPU supports a different subset of measurable
events.
Fixed-function and programmable counters both use the same vendor
names for events. The use of a class name prefix ("iaf-" or
"iap-" respectively) permits these to be distinguished.
- In libpmc, refactor pmc_name_of_event() into a public interface
and an internal helper function, for use by log handling code.
- Minor code tweaks: staticize a global, freshen a few comments.

- Support alternate spellings for PMC events. Derive the canonical
spelling of an event name from its enumeration name in 'enum pmc_event'.
- Provide a way for users to disambiguate between identically named events
supported by multiple classes of PMCs in a CPU.
- Change libpmc's machine-dependent event specifier parsing code to
better support CPUs containing two or more classes of PMC resources.

- 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.
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.

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.
