017bc61765 x86, ds: support Core i7
Add debug store support for Core i7.

Core i7 adds a reset value for each performance counter and a new
PEBS record format.

2311f0de21 x86, ds: add leakage warning
Add a warning in case a debug store context is not removed before
the task it is attached to is freed.

Remove the old warning at thread exit. It is too early.

Declare the debug store context field in thread_struct unconditionally.

Remove ds_copy_thread() and ds_exit_thread() and do the work directly
in process*.c.

de79f54f53 x86, bts, hw-branch-tracer: add _noirq variants to the debug store interface
The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu()
context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep.

Add _noirq variants for most functions, which  may be called with
interrupts disabled.

Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be
controlled from any cpu.

Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize
with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the
unnecessary spinlock.

Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface.

Defer the ds selftest.

bf53de907d x86, bts: add fork and exit handling
Impact: introduce new ptrace facility

Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer
detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies);
ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach.

Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a
traced task is forked.

Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork.

Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace(). This
releases resources already when the tracing task dies. We used to do
that when the traced task dies.

6abb11aecd x86, bts, ptrace: move BTS buffer allocation from ds.c into ptrace.c
Impact: restructure DS memory allocation to be done by the usage site of DS

Require pre-allocated buffers in ds.h.

Move the BTS buffer allocation for ptrace into ptrace.c.
The pointer to the allocated buffer is stored in the traced task's
task_struct together with the handle returned by ds_request_bts().

Removes memory accounting code.

ca0002a179 x86, bts: base in-kernel ds interface on handles
Impact: generalize the DS code to shared buffers

Change the in-kernel ds.h interface to identify the tracer via a
handle returned on ds_request_~().

Tracers used to be identified via their task_struct.

The changes are required to allow DS to be shared between different
tasks, which is needed for perfmon2 and for ftrace.

For ptrace, the handle is stored in the traced task's task_struct.
This should probably go into a (arch-specific) ptrace context some
time.

1965aae3c9 x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
