[POWERPC] Oprofile enhanced instruction sampling support
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Oprofile enhanced instruction sampling support.

When performing instruction sampling, the mmcra[SLOT] field can be used to
more accurately identify the address of the sampled instruction.

Tested on power4, js20, power5 and power5+.
