The exception table sorter outputs one line every time
it gets called, e.g. 'sort done marker at 66dc00', which
is slightly annoying when doing 'make -s' which is otherwise
completely silent. Since that output is not helpful to
most people building the kernel, turn it off by default.
When RPC_DEBUG is unset, the dprintk() macro does nothing,
causing the 'buf' variable in svc_printk to become unused.

called after the __init time, so it must not call

Without this patch, building msm_defconfig results in:
WARNING:

Gcc warns about the case where regmap_read_debugfs tries

The type returned from atomic64_t can be either unsigned

Using a cast to unsigned long long lets us use the same

Without this patch, building with scheduler debugging
enabled results in:
Functions called from a driver probe() method must not be

because of deferred probing.

Add LBR filtering for branch in transaction, branch not in transaction
or transaction abort. This is exposed as new sample types.

Implement the TSX transaction and checkpointed transaction qualifiers for
Haswell. This allows e.g. to profile the number of cycles in transactions.
The checkpointed qualifier requires forcing the event to
counter 2, implement this with a custom constraint for Haswell.

From: Andi Kleen
Add basic PEBS support for Haswell.
The constraints are similar to SandyBridge with a few new events.

With checkpointed counters there can be a situation where the counter
is overflowing, aborts the transaction, is set back to a non overflowing
checkpoint, causes interupt. The interrupt doesn't see the overflow
because it has been checkpointed. This is then a spurious PMI,
From: Andi Kleen
Add support for the v2 PEBS format. It has a superset of the v1 PEBS
fields, but has a longer record so we need to adjust the code paths.
The main advantage is the new "EventingRip" support which directly
gives the instruction, not off-by-one instruction. So with precise == 2
From: Andi Kleen
This avoids some problems with spurious PMIs on Haswell.
Haswell seems to behave more like P4 in this regard. Do
the same thing as the P4 perf handler by unmasking
the NMI only at the end. Shouldn't make any difference
for earlier non P4 cores.

When the LBR format is unknown disable LBR recording. This prevents
crashes when the LBR address is misdecoded and mis-sign extended.

This is based on v7 of the full Haswell PMU support, but
ported to the latest perf/core and stripped down to the "basic support"
as requested.
I decided to include LBRs in the basic support. These are 4 patches
self contained at the end, so could be also handled as a separate
unit if that is

Recent Intel CPUs have a new alternative MSR range for perfctrs that allows
writing the full counter width. Enable this range if the hardware reports it
using a new capability bit. This lowers overhead of perf stat slightly because
it has to do less interrupts to accumulate the

Extend the perf branch sorting code to support sorting by intx
or abort qualifiers. Also print out those qualifiers.
This also fixes up some of the existing sort key documentation.
We do not support notx here, because it's simply not showing
the intx flag.

Haswell has two additional LBR from flags for TSX: intx and abort, implemented
as a new v4 version of the LBR format.

The flags are exported similarly in the LBR record to the existing misprediction

Similar to SandyBridge, but has a few new events. Further
differences are handled in followon patches.
There are some new counter flags that need to be prevented
from being set on fixed counters.
