[PATCH v9 0/5] powerpc/hv-24x7: Expose chip/sockets info to add json file metric support for the hv_24x7 socket/chip level events

[Kajol Jain]

Patchset fixes the inconsistent results we are getting when
we run multiple 24x7 events.

"hv_24x7" pmu interface events needs system dependent parameter
like socket/chip/core. For example, hv_24x7 chip level events needs
specific chip-id to which the data is requested should be added as part
of pmu events.

So to enable JSON file support to "hv_24x7" interface, patchset expose
total number of sockets and chips per-socket details in sysfs
files (sockets, chips) under "/sys/devices/hv_24x7/interface/".

To get number of sockets, chips per sockets and cores per chip patchset adds a
rtas call with token "PROCESSOR_MODULE_INFO" to get these details. Patchset
also handles partition migration case to re-init these system depended
parameters by adding proper calls in post_mobility_fixup() (mobility.c).

Changelog:
v8 -> v9
- As we not need 8k data buffer we also not require new lock and
  buffer size. So, removed that part.
- Made more changes as suggested by Nathan Lynch.

v7 -> v8
- Add support for exposing cores per details as well.
  Suggested by: Madhavan Srinivasan.
- Remove config check for 'CONFIG_PPC_RTAS' in previous
  implementation and address other comments by Michael Ellerman.

v6 -> v7
- Split patchset into two patch series, one with kernel changes
  and another with perf tool side changes. This pachset contain
  all kernel side changes.
