[PATCH v6 02/10] arm64: perf: Enable PMU counter direct access for perf event

From: Raphael Gault <raphael.gault at arm.com>
Keep track of event opened with direct access to the hardware counters
and modify permissions while they are open.
The strategy used here is the same which x86 uses: every time an event
is mapped, the permissions are set if required. The atomic field added
in the mm_context helps keep track of the different event opened and
de-activate the permissions when all are unmapped.
We also need to update the permissions in the context switch code so
that tasks keep the right permissions.
In order to enable 64-bit counters for userspace when available, a new
config1 bit is added for userspace to indicate it wants userspace counter
access. This bit allows the kernel to decide if chaining should be
disabled and chaining and userspace access are incompatible.
The modes for config1 are as follows:
config1 = 0 or 2 : user access enabled and always 32-bit
config1 = 1 : user access disabled and always 64-bit (using chaining if needed)
config1 = 3 : user access enabled and counter size matches underlying counter.
User access is enabled with config1 == 0 so that we match x86 behavior
and don't need Arm specific code (outside the counter read).

I'm not completely sure if using current->active_mm in an IPI is okay?
It seems to work in my testing.
Peter Z says (event->oncpu == smp_processor_id()) in the user page
update is always true, but my testing says otherwise[1].
v6:
- Add new attr.config1 rdpmc bit for userspace to hint it wants
userspace access when also requesting 64-bit counters.
v5:
- Only set cap_user_rdpmc if event is on current cpu
- Limit enabling/disabling access to CPUs associated with the PMU
(supported_cpus) and with the mm_struct matching current->active_mm.
v2:
- Move mapped/unmapped into arm64 code. Fixes arm32.
- Rebase on cap_user_time_short changes
Changes from Raphael's v4:
- Drop homogeneous check
- Disable access for chained counters
- Set pmc_width in user page
