If the overflow threshold for a counter is set above or near the
0xffffffff boundary then the kernel may lose track of the overflow
causing only events that occur *after* the overflow to be recorded.
Specifically the problem occurs when the value of the performance counter
overtakes its original programmed value due to wrap around.
Typical solutions to this problem are either to avoid programming in
values likely to be overtaken or to treat the overflow bit as the 33rd
bit of the counter.
Its somewhat fiddly to refactor the code to correctly handle the 33rd bit
during irqsave sections (context switches for example) so instead we take
the simpler approach of avoiding values likely to be overtaken.
We set the limit to half of max_period because this matches the limit
imposed in __hw_perf_event_init(). This causes a doubling of the interrupt
rate for large threshold values, however even with a very fast counter
ticking at 4GHz the interrupt rate would only be ~1Hz.

Recent arm64 builds using CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES are failing with:
arch/arm64/kernel/perf_regs.c: In function ‘perf_reg_abi’:
arch/arm64/kernel/perf_regs.c:41:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘is_compat_thread’
arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c:1398:2: error: unknown type name ‘compat_uptr_t’
This is due to some recent arm64 perf commits with compat support:
commit 23c7d70d55c6d9:
ARM64: perf: add support for frame pointer unwinding in compat mode
commit 2ee0d7fd36a3f8:
ARM64: perf: add support for perf registers API
Those patches make the arm64 kernel unbuildable if CONFIG_COMPAT is not
defined and CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES depends on !CONFIG_COMPAT. This patch
allows the arm64 kernel to build with and without CONFIG_COMPAT.

When profiling a 32-bit application, user space callchain unwinding
using the frame pointer is performed in compat mode. The code is taken

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Included in this series are:
1. BE8 (modern big endian) changes for ARM from Ben Dooks
2. big.Little support from Nicolas Pitre and Dave Martin
3. support for LPAE systems with all system memory above 4GB
4. Perf updates from Will Deacon
5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will.
6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard.
7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place.
There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never
notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's
tree and other stuff. Consequently I have a resolution which Will
forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this
mail.
The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the
crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches. These were merged
into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's
little I can do about this. The problem is caused because these
patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I
tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got
each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then"
which would only make things worse since I still don't have the
dependent patches. I've no idea what's going on there or how to
resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of
this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or
reverting Ard's patches.
Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only
build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs,
and since it's a new feature anyway. However, if by -rc1 the
dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches"
I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell,
but there may be some differences. Any errors are likely mine. Let's
see how the crypto issues work out..

This is the ARM part of Christoph's patchset cleaning up the various
uses of __get_cpu_var across the tree.
The idea is to convert __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations
that use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and fewer
registers are used when code is generated.

Add minimal guest support to perf, so it can distinguish whether
the PMU interrupt was in the host or the guest, as well as collecting
some very basic information (guest PC, user vs kernel mode).
This is not feature complete though, as it doesn't support backtracing
in the guest.

This fixes up all of the smaller arches that had __dev* markings for
their platform-specific drivers.
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.
This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.
Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

We currently use a fake event encoding (0xFF) to indicate CPU cycles so
that we don't waste an event counter and can target the hardware cycle
counter instead.
The problem with this approach is that the event space defined by the
architecture permits an implementation to allocate 0xFF for some other
event.
This patch uses the architected cycle counter encoding (0x11) so that
we avoid potentially clashing with event encodings on future CPU
implementations.
