[PATCH V3 1/1] ARM: perf: Set suniden bit

From: Martin Fuzzey <mfuzzey at parkeon.com>

Counters other than the CPU cycle counter only work if the security module
SUNIDEN bit is set.

Since access to this register is only possible in secure mode it will
only be done if the device tree property "secure-reg-access" is set.

Without this:
# perf stat -e cycles,instructions sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

          14606094 cycles                    #    0.000 GHz
                 0 instructions              #    0.00  insns per cycle

After applying:
# perf stat -e cycles,instructions sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

           5843809      cycles                   
           2566484      instructions              #    0.44  insns per cycle        

       1.020144000 seconds time elapsed


Some platforms (eg i.MX53) may also need additional platform specific setup.

Changes in v3:
- Pooya Keshavarzi:
  * v2 review comment fixups
  * Use on_each_cpu() to set SUNIDEN on all CPUs
  * Move armv7pmu_enable_secure_access() call from armv7pmu_start() to
    armv7_a8_map_event() such that is called only once instead of each
    time `perf` is executed
- George G. Davis:
  * Fixup to apply after file renames due to commit fa8ad78 (arm: perf:
    factor arm_pmu core out to drivers)
  * Fix checkpatch 'CHECK: Prefer using the BIT macro' issue
