perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter ove…
…rflow events This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events, including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified. Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6 field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6) and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier positions. It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR values come from the same instruction. For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not doing instruction sampling. In that case there is no guarantee that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. Otherwise we supply 0.
