[PATCH v3 0/5] Cavium ThunderX uncore PMU support

From: Jan Glauber

Sorry for the long time it took for re-cooking this patch set.
The v3 should address all of Marks previous comments, things I didn't
change are listed below.

Not changed:
- Stick to NUMA node ID to detect the socket a device belongs to but made
uncore depend on CONFIG_NUMA.
- Stick to initcall for uncore framework because it is easier to do the
scanning for the same type of PCI devices, also I don't know if the PCI layer
would allow for several drivers to register for the same device ID.

Note:
I'm using perf_sw_context in difference to perf_invalid_context
(see WARN_ON in perf_pmu_register). Reason is that with perf_invalid_context
add() is never called and the counter results are shown as "unsupported" by
perf. With perf_sw_context everything works as expected.

Patches are against 4.9.0-rc1

Changes to v2:
- Embedded struct pmu and killed uncore->type
- Simplified add functions
- Unified functions where possible into a common implementation
- Use arrays to translate non-contiguous counter addresses to event_id's
visible to the user
- Sorted includes
- Got rid of division for previous counter values
- Removed unneeded WARN_ONs
- Use sizeof(*ptr)
- Use bool for event_valid return
- Fixed HES_STOPPED logic
- Added some design notes and improved (hopefully) comments
- Removed pass1 counter support for now
- Merged EVENT_ATTR and EVENT_PTR defines into one (unreadable) thing
- Use pmu_enable|disable to start|stop the OCX TLK counter set
- Moved cpumask into thunder_uncore struct
- Switched to new cpuhp stuff. I still don't care about the CPU location
used to access an uncore device, it may cross the CCPI and
we'll pay a performance penalty. We might optimize this later, for now
I feel it is not worth the time optimizing it.
