arch/powerpc/oprofile/cell/spu_profiler.c is missing a asm/time.h
include which is required for ppc_proc_freq. This can cause compile
failures for some config combinations.

This patch adds the SPU event based profiling funcitonality for the
IBM Cell processor. Previously, the CELL OProfile kernel code supported
PPU event, PPU cycle profiling and SPU cycle profiling. The addition of
SPU event profiling allows the users to identify where in their SPU code
various SPU evnets are occuring. This should help users further identify
issues with their code. Note, SPU profiling has some limitations due to HW
constraints. Only one event at a time can be used for profiling and SPU event
profiling must be time sliced across all of the SPUs in a node.

The patch adds a new arch specific file to the OProfile file system. The
file has bit 0 set to indicate that the kernel supports SPU event profiling.
The user tool must check this file/bit to make sure the kernel supports
SPU event profiling before trying to do SPU event profiling. The user tool
check is part of the user tool patch for SPU event profiling.

This patch restructures and cleans up the code a bit to make it
easier to add new functionality later. The patch makes no
functional changes to the existing code.

The issue is the SPU code is not holding the kernel mutex lock while
adding samples to the kernel buffer.

This patch creates per SPU buffers to hold the data. Data
is added to the buffers from in interrupt context. The data
is periodically pushed to the kernel buffer via a new Oprofile
function oprofile_put_buff(). The oprofile_put_buff() function
is called via a work queue enabling the funtion to acquire the
mutex lock.

The existing user controls for adjusting the per CPU buffer
size is used to control the size of the per SPU buffers.
Similarly, overflows of the SPU buffers are reported by
incrementing the per CPU buffer stats. This eliminates the
need to have architecture specific controls for the per SPU
buffers which is not acceptable to the OProfile user tool
maintainer.

The export of the oprofile add_event_entry() is removed as it
is no longer needed given this patch.

Note, this patch has not addressed the issue of indexing arrays
by the spu number. This still needs to be fixed as the spu
numbering is not guarenteed to be 0 to max_num_spus-1.

In order to be able to do range hrtimers we need to use accessor functions
to the "expire" member of the hrtimer struct.
This patch converts powerpc/oprofile to these accessors.

From: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com>

This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c
to add in the SPU profiling capabilities. In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory
was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code.
Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which
are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data
structures.

Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn). Check pointer
returned from kzalloc. Eliminated unnecessary cast. Better error
handling and cleanup in the related area. 64-bit unsigned long parameter
was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to
unsigned long.
