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).
v7: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=167076
Changelog:
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.

Commit 2b206ee6b0df ("powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Display change in counter
values")' added to print _change_ in the counter value rather then raw
value for 24x7 counters. Incase of transactions, the event count
is set to 0 at the beginning of the transaction. It also sets
the event's prev_count to the raw value at the time of initialization.
Because of setting event count to 0, we are seeing some weird behaviour,
whenever we run multiple 24x7 events at a time.
For example:
command#: ./perf stat -e "{hv_24x7/PM_MCS01_128B_RD_DISP_PORT01,chip=0/,
hv_24x7/PM_MCS01_128B_RD_DISP_PORT01,chip=1/}"

Getting these large values in case we do -I.
As we are setting event_count to 0, for interval case, overall event_count is not
coming in incremental order. As we may can get new delta lesser then previous count.
Because of which when we print intervals, we are getting negative value which create
these large values.
This patch removes part where we set event_count to 0 in function
'h_24x7_event_read'. There won't be much impact as we do set event->hw.prev_count
to the raw value at the time of initialization to print change value.

For hv_24x7 socket/chip level events, specific chip-id to which
the data requested should be added as part of pmu events.
But number of chips/socket in the system details are not exposed.
Patch implements read_sys_info_pseries() to get system
parameter values like number of sockets and chips per socket.
Rtas_call with token "PROCESSOR_MODULE_INFO"
is used to get these values.
Sub-sequent patch exports these values via sysfs.
Patch also make these parameters default to 1.

Hi Nathan,
Thanks for reviewing the patch. Actually when I was testing this patch in
both power8 and power9 machine, I got some issue in power9 because of buffer size.
And I checked the buffer size used in util_linux which is 8192. So, I increase the
buffer size.I will again test it as I did couple of changes after that with 4002 size.
