Hendrik Brueckner cf48ad8327 s390/oprofile: move hwsampler interfaces to cpu_mf.h
Extract and move the oprofile hwsampler data structures and interfaces to
the cpu_mf.h header file which contains common interface definitions
for the various CPU-measurement facilities.   This change is necessary for
a new perf PMU.

Few interface names have been revised to fit to the latest CPU-measurement
facilities documentation.  Also declare the data structures as __packed and
correct checkpatch findings.

Hendrik Brueckner d783d9ad4b s390/hwsampler: Updated misleading member names in hws_data_entry
There is a misleading naming of the program parameter fields, so
correct them according to their names as outlined in
"The Load-Program-Parameter and the CPU-measurement Facilities"
(SA23-2260-03).

Martin Schwidefsky 3d8dcb3c76 [S390] oprofile: fix min/max interval query checks
oprofile_min_interval and oprofile_max_interval are unsigned, checking
for negative values doesn't work. Change hwsampler_query_min_interval
and hwsampler_query_max_interval to return an unsigned long and
check for a zero value instead.

Heinz Graalfs ec6a3df1c0 oprofile, s390: Add support for hardware based sampling on System z processors
This adds support for hardware based sampling on System z processors
(models z10 and up).

System z's hardware sampling is described in detail in:

   SA23-2260-01 "The Load-Program-Parameter and CPU-Measurement Facilities"

The patch introduces

 - support for System z's hardware sampler in OProfile's kernel module
 - it adds functions that control all hardware sampling related
   operations as:
   - checking if hardware sampling feature is available, i.e.: on
     System z models z10 and up, in LPAR mode only, and authorised
     during LPAR activation
   - allocating memory for the hardware sampling feature
   - starting/stopping hardware sampling

All functions required to start and stop hardware sampling have to be
invoked by the oprofile kernel module as provided by the other patches
of this patch set.

In case hardware based sampling cannot be setup standard timer based
sampling is used by OProfile.

Applied with following changes:
* enable compilation in Makefile
