[PATCH V8 0/4] perf/powerpc: Add ability to sample intr machine state in powerpc

[Anju T]

This short patch series adds the ability to sample the interrupted
machine state for each hardware sample.

To test this patchset,
Eg:

$ perf record -I?       # list supported registers

output:

available registers: gpr0 gpr1 gpr2 gpr3 gpr4 gpr5 gpr6 gpr7 gpr8 gpr9 gpr10 gpr11 gpr12 gpr13 gpr14 gpr15 gpr16 gpr17 gpr18 gpr19 gpr20 gpr21 gpr22 gpr23 gpr24 gpr25 gpr26 gpr27 gpr28 gpr29 gpr30 gpr31 nip msr orig_r3 ctr link xer ccr trap dar dsisr
usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
 -I, --intr-regs[=<any register>]
sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use -I ? to list register names


$ perf record -I ls   # record machine state at interrupt
$ perf script -D      # read the perf.data file

Samplfdoutput obtained for this patchset/ output looks like as follows:

Changes from V7:

- Addressed the new line issue in 3rd patch.

Changes from V6:

- Corrected the typo in patch  tools/perf: Map the ID values with register names.
  ie #define PERF_REG_SP  PERF_REG_POWERPC_R1 should be #define PERF_REG_SP   PERF_REG_POWERPC_GPR1


Changes from V5:

- Enabled perf_sample_regs_user also in this patch set.Functions added in 
   arch/powerpc/perf/perf_regs.c
- Added Maddy's patch to this patchset for enabling -I? option which will
  list the supported register names.


Changes from V4:

- Removed the softe and MQ from all patches
- Switch case is replaced with an array in the 3rd patch

Changes from V3:

- Addressed the comments by Sukadev regarding the nits in the descriptions.
- Modified the subject of first patch.
- Included the sample output in the 3rd patch also.

Changes from V2:

- tools/perf/config/Makefile is moved to the patch tools/perf.
- The patchset is reordered.
- perf_regs_load() function is used for the dwarf unwind test.Since it is not required here,
  it is removed from tools/perf/arch/powerpc/include/perf_regs.h
- PERF_REGS_POWERPC_RESULT is removed.

Changes from V1:

- Solved the name missmatch issue in the from and signed-off field of the patch series.
- Added necessary comments in the 3rd patch ie perf/powerpc ,as suggested by Maddy.
