[PATCH 0/8] arm64:perf: Support for Hisilicon SoC Hardware event counters

[Anurup M]

Provide Support for Hisilicon SoC Hardware event counters.
The Hisilicon SoC Hi161x series has many uncore or non-CPU performance
events and counters units.

This patch is implemented refering to arm-cci, Intel/AMD uncore and
also the cavium thunderX pmu patches.

Support for Hisilicon L3 cache(LLC) hardware events and counters are added
in this implementation.

The Hisilicon PMU datastructures are designed so as to support uncore
and also CPU specific events in future.

The Hisilicon LLC has four banks for a Super CPU Cluster(consists of
 16 CPU cores) and each LLC bank has separate hardware events and counters.
In the current implementation, the count from all these banks are summarized
and total count is output.

The Hisilicon uncore PMUs can be found under /sys/bus/event_source/devices.
The counters are exported via sysfs in the corresponding events files
under the PMU directory so the perf tool can list the event names.

Note:
This is very initial patchset for Hisilicon SoC PMU support shared for
review. Please review and share comments.
This patchset depends on the Hisilicon Djtag driver for r/w access to
Hisilicon SoC PMU registers, which is not upstreamed yet. The patches for
Djtag driver shall be send for review soon.

TODO:
        1. Counter overflow interrupt handling support to be added.
        2. CPU notifier to migrate to available online CPU's in case
           of CPU DOWN. Also mapping CPU cores to the current SCCL.
        3. Support for counting of individual LLC banks
