[PATCH 0/3] Enable the profiling of EL0&1 translation regime of ARM SPE

[Yicong Yang]

From: Yicong Yang <yangyicong at hisilicon.com>

When using the SPE, it's noticed the operation of a VM is not profiled at
all on a VHE enabled host. This is because the driver's using
PMSCR_EL1.{E1SPE, E0SPE} to enable the profiling. On a VHE enabled host,
we're actually setting the PMSCR_EL2.{E2SPE, E0SPE}. This will enable the
profiling of EL2 and EL0 in a EL2&0 translation regime. However the VM
is using a EL1&0 translation regime, so it's not profiled. We can enable
the profiling of EL1&0 translation regime by setting PMSCR_EL12.{E1SPE, E0SPE}
from EL2.

This patch adds the support to this by:
- Add the sysreg definition of PMSCR_EL12
- Factor the code to allow extension
- Enable the profiling of EL1&0 and complete perf's exclude_* option

Tests have been done on VHE and non-VHE host with
`perf record -e {arm_spe_0//}:u|k|h|G|h`
and results shows as expected.

The sample from El0 in the VM will be like (generated by `perf report -D`):
