Leverage the commit for ARM by Will Deacon:

ARM: 6205/1: perf: ensure counter delta is treated as unsigned
Hardware performance counters on ARM are 32-bits wide but atomic64_t
variables are used to represent counter data in the hw_perf_event structure.
The armpmu_event_update function right-shifts a signed 64-bit delta variable
and adds the result to the event count. This can lead to shifting in sign-bits
if the MSB of the 32-bit counter value is set. This results in perf output
such as:
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 20':
18446744073460670464 cycles <-- 0xFFFFFFFFF12A6000
7783773 instructions # 0.000 IPC
465 context-switches
161 page-faults
1172393 branches
20.154242147 seconds time elapsed
This patch ensures that the delta value is treated as unsigned so that the
right shift sets the upper bits to zero.

This is the MIPS part of the following commits by Frederic Weisbecker:
- f72c1a931e311bb7780fee19e41a89ac42cab50e
perf: Factorize callchain context handling
Store the kernel and user contexts from the generic layer instead
of archs, this gathers some repetitive code.
- 56962b4449af34070bb1994621ef4f0265eed4d8
perf: Generalize some arch callchain code
- Most archs use one callchain buffer per cpu, except x86 that needs
to deal with NMIs. Provide a default perf_callchain_buffer()
implementation that x86 overrides.
- Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch
handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel()
That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so...
- Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the
left, regs to the right, following the traditional (dst, src).
- 70791ce9ba68a5921c9905ef05d23f62a90bc10c
perf: Generalize callchain_store()
callchain_store() is the same on every archs, inline it in
perf_event.h and rename it to perf_callchain_store() to avoid
any collision.
This removes repetitive code.
- c1a65932fd7216fdc9a0db8bbffe1d47842f862c
perf: Drop unappropriate tests on arch callchains
Drop the TASK_RUNNING test on user tasks for callchains as
this check doesn't seem to make any sense.
Also remove the tests for !current that is not supposed to
happen and current->pid as this should be handled at the
generic level, with exclude_idle attribute.

Ignore events that are in off/error state or belong to a different PMU.
This patch originates from the following commit for ARM by Will Deacon:
- 65b4711ff513767341aa1915c822de6ec0de65cb
ARM: 6352/1: perf: fix event validation
The validate_event function in the ARM perf events backend has the
following problems:
1.) Events that are disabled count towards the cost.
2.) Events associated with other PMUs [for example, software events or
breakpoints] do not count towards the cost, but do fail validation,
causing the group to fail.
This patch changes validate_event so that it ignores events in the
PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF state or that are scheduled for other PMUs.

This is the MIPS part of the following commits by Peter Zijlstra:
- a4eaf7f14675cb512d69f0c928055e73d0c6d252
perf: Rework the PMU methods
Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.
The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.
This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).
It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).
The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:
1) We disable the counter:
a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state
2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events
For MIPSXX, the stopped state is implemented in the way of 1.b as above.

perf: Per PMU disable

- 24cd7f54a0d47e1d5b3de29e2456bfbd2d8447b7
perf: Reduce perf_disable() usage
Since the current perf_disable() usage is only an optimization,
remove it for now. This eases the removal of the __weak
hw_perf_enable() interface.

This patch adds the mipsxx Perf-events support based on the skeleton.
Generic hardware events and cache events are now fully implemented for
the 24K/34K/74K/1004K cores. To support other cores in mipsxx (such as
R10000/SB1), the generic hardware event tables and cache event tables
need to be filled out. To support other CPUs which have different PMU
than mipsxx, such as RM9000 and LOONGSON2, the additional files
perf_event_$cpu.c need to be created.
Raw event is an important part of Perf-events. It helps the user collect
performance data for events that are not listed as the generic hardware
events and cache events but ARE supported by the CPU's PMU.
This patch also adds this feature for mipsxx 24K/34K/74K/1004K. For how to
use it, please refer to processor core software user's manual and the
comments for mipsxx_pmu_map_raw_event() for more details.
Please note that this is a "precise" implementation, which means the
kernel will check whether the requested raw events are supported by this
CPU and which hardware counters can be assigned for them.
To test the functionality of Perf-event, you may want to compile the tool
"perf" for your MIPS platform. You can refer to the following URL:
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2010-10/msg00126.html
You also need to customize the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in tools/perf/Makefile
for your libs, includes, etc.
In case you encounter the boot failure in SMVP kernel on multi-threading
CPUs, you may take a look at:

Adds callchain support for MIPS Perf-events. For more info on this feature,
please refer to tools/perf/Documentation/perf-report.txt and
tools/perf/design.txt.
Currently userspace callchain data is not recorded, because we do not have
a safe way to do this.

This patch provides the skeleton of the HW perf event support. To enable
this feature, we can not choose the SMTC kernel; Oprofile should be
disabled; kernel performance events be selected. Then we can enable it in
Kernel type menu.
Oprofile for MIPS platforms initializes irq at arch init time. Currently
we do not change this logic to allow PMU reservation.
If a platform has EIC, we can use the irq base and perf counter irq offset
defines for the interrupt controller in specific init_hw_perf_events().
Based on this skeleton patch, the 3 different kinds of MIPS PMU, namely,
mipsxx/loongson2/rm9000, can be supported by adding corresponding lower
level C files at the bottom. The suggested names of these files are
perf_event_mipsxx.c/perf_event_loongson2.c/perf_event_rm9000.c. So, for
example, we can do this by adding "#include perf_event_mipsxx.c" at the
bottom of perf_event.c.
In addition, PMUs with 64bit counters are also considered in this patch.
