perf, x86: use LBR for PEBS IP+1 fixup
Use the LBR to fix up the PEBS IP+1 issue.
As said, PEBS reports the next instruction, here we use the LBR to find
the last branch and from that construct the actual IP. If the IP matches
the LBR-TO, we use LBR-FROM, otherwise we use the LBR-TO address as the
beginning of the last basic block and decode forward.
Once we find a match to the current IP, we use the previous location.
This patch introduces a new ABI element: PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT, which
conveys that the reported IP (PERF_SAMPLE_IP) is the exact instruction
that caused the event (barring CPU errata).
The fixup can fail due to various reasons:
1) LBR contains invalid data (quite possible)
2) part of the basic block got paged out
3) the reported IP isn't part of the basic block (see 1)

perf, x86: Add PEBS infrastructure
This patch implements support for Intel Precise Event Based Sampling,
which is an alternative counter mode in which the counter triggers a
hardware assist to collect information on events. The hardware assist
takes a trap like snapshot of a subset of the machine registers.
This data is written to the Intel Debug-Store, which can be programmed
with a data threshold at which to raise a PMI.
With the PEBS hardware assist being trap like, the reported IP is always
one instruction after the actual instruction that triggered the event.
This implements a simple PEBS model that always takes a single PEBS event
at a time. This is done so that the interaction with the rest of the
system is as expected (freq adjust, period randomization, lbr,
callchains, etc.).
It adds an ABI element: perf_event_attr::precise, which indicates that we
wish to use this (constrained, but precise) mode.

sysfs: Serialize updates to the vfs inode
The vfs depends upon filesystem methods to update the
vfs inode. Sysfs adds to the normal number of places
where the vfs inode is updated by also updatng the
vfs inode in sysfs_refresh_inode.
Typically the inode mutex is used to serialize updates
to the vfs inode, but grabbing the inode mutex in
sysfs_permission and sysfs_getattr causes deadlocks,
because sometimes the vfs calls those operations with
the inode mutex held. Therefore sysfs can not use the
inode mutex to serial updates to the vfs inode.
The sysfs_mutex is acquired in all of the routines
where sysfs updates the vfs inode, and with a small
change we can consistently protext sysfs vfs inode
updates with the sysfs_mutex. To protect the sysfs
vfs inode updates with the sysfs_mutex simply requires
extending the scope of sysfs_mutex in sysfs_setattr
over inode_setattr, and over inode_change_ok (so we
have an unchanging inode when we perform the check).

sysfs: Use sysfs_attr_init and sysfs_bin_attr_init on dynamic attributes
These are the non-static sysfs attributes that exist on
my test machine. Fix them to use sysfs_attr_init or
sysfs_bin_attr_init as appropriate. It simply requires
making a sysfs attribute present to see this. So this
is a little bit tedious but otherwise not too bad.

sysfs: Use one lockdep class per sysfs attribute.
Acknowledge that the logical sysfs rwsem has one instance per
sysfs attribute with different locking depencencies for different
attributes.
There is a sysfs idiom where writing to one sysfs file causes the
addition or removal of other sysfs files. Lumping all of the
sysfs attributes together in one lock class causes lockdep to
generate lots of false positives.
This introduces the requirement that non-static sysfs attributes
need to be initialized with sysfs_attr_init or sysfs_bin_attr_init.
Strictly speaking this requirement only exists when lockdep is
enabled, and when lockdep is enabled we get a bit fat warning
if this requirement is not met.

sysfs: Remove sysfs_get/put_active_two
It turns out that holding an active reference on a directory is
pointless. The purpose of the active references are to allows us to
block when removing sysfs entries that have custom methods so we don't
remove modules while running modular code and to keep those custom
methods from accessing data structures after the files have been
removed. Further sysfs_remove_dir remove all elements in the
directory before removing the directory itself, so there is no chance
we will remove a directory with active children.
