[PATCH] powerpc: tracing: Add powerpc tracepoints for interrupt entry and exit

[Anton Blanchard]

This patch adds powerpc specific tracepoints for interrupt entry and exit.

While we already have generic irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
tracepoints there are cases on our virtualised powerpc machines where an
interrupt is presented to the OS, but subsequently handled by the hypervisor.
This means no OS interrupt handler is invoked.

Here is an example on a POWER6 machine with the patch below applied:
 
<idle>-0     [006]  3243.949840744: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10
<idle>-0     [006]  3243.949850520: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10

<idle>-0     [007]  3243.950218208: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10
<idle>-0     [007]  3243.950224080: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10

<idle>-0     [000]  3244.021879320: irq_entry: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0
<idle>-0     [000]  3244.021883616: irq_handler_entry: irq=87 handler=eth0
<idle>-0     [000]  3244.021887328: irq_handler_exit: irq=87 return=handled
<idle>-0     [000]  3244.021897408: irq_exit: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0

Here we see two phantom interrupts (no handler was invoked), followed
by a real interrupt for eth0. Without the tracepoints in this patch we
would have missed the phantom interrupts.

Since these would be the first arch specific tracepoints, I'd like to make
sure we agree on naming. The tracepoints live in events/powerpc/*, but I'm
wondering if the tracepoint name should also contain the arch name, eg
powerpc_irq_entry/powerpc_irq_exit. Thoughts?
