Now that we've got a generic perf-events based oprofile backend we might
as well make use of it seeing as SH doesn't do anything special with its
oprofile backend. Also introduce a new CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS symbol so
that we can fallback to using the timer interrupt for oprofile if the
CPU doesn't support perf events.
Also, to avoid a section mismatch warning we need to annotate
oprofile_arch_exit() with an __exit marker.

This reduces the 'count' size in the common support structure to 32-bits
so that it matches up with what oprofile is expecting. The SH7750 code
was using a nasty oprofilefs hack to expose the 48-bit counter, although
no other implementations were. Now that the offending driver has been
killed off, it's possible to restore some semblance of sanity.

This kills off the old SH7750 oprofile driver, preferring perf instead.
As this driver has a number of bugs that no one seems to have noticed,
it's safe to kill this off now rather than providing an extended
transition period.
The old oprofile framework is still kept in place for now, primarily to
give out-of-tree drivers a chance to transition off. But this too will be
killed off in short order.

Instead of implementing our own stack unwinder via dump_trace() we
should use the new stack unwinder API because it is more modular. This
change allows us to decouple the interface for generating stacktraces
from the implementation of a stack unwinder.

This adds preliminary support for the SH7786 CPU subtype.
While this is a dual-core CPU, only UP is supported for now. L2 cache
support is likewise not yet implemented.
More information on this particular CPU subtype is available at:

This re-implements the old op_model_null code in to something more
generic, where multiple drivers, backtrace, etc. can all be interfaced.

Rather than varying this on a subtype level, we use the counter type as a
generic identifier. This simplifies logic in the userspace tools where no
fundamental difference exists across the various subtypes.

Converts from the profile notifier to the timer hook. Follows

Quoting Randy:
"It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
20-something times. Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.
However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make
_one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES,
and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

nmi_create_files() in arch/i386/oprofile/nmi_int.c depends on
model->num_counters (number of performance counters) being less than 10.
While this is currently the case, it's too clever by half.
Other archs aren't quite as clever: they assume 100. I suggest to
normalize them all to 1000.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
