[PATCH V2 1/6] powerpc/perf: Add HTM PMU driver to expose Hardware Trace Macro data

[Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@linux.ibm.com>]

The H_HTM hypervisor call (hcall) provides an interface to the Hardware
Trace Macro (HTM) function on POWER systems.  HTM captures hardware-level
trace data for a specific node/chip/core target within a logical partition.

Add a new "htm" Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) that exposes HTM control
via the standard perf interface.  The event configuration is a 28-bit value
packed into the perf config field:

  bits  0-3:  htm_type         (HTM_CORE=2, HTM_NEST=1)
  bits  4-11: nodeindex
  bits 12-19: nodalchipindex
  bits 20-27: coreindexonchip

PMU lifecycle:

  add/del:    Issue H_HTM_OP_CONFIGURE / H_HTM_OP_DECONFIGURE to reserve
              and release the hardware trace resource.

  start/stop: Issue H_HTM_OP_START / H_HTM_OP_STOP to control tracing.
              HTM traces at node/chip/core scope continuously for the
              duration of the event.  Context-switch-triggered start/stop
              callbacks (PERF_EF_RELOAD / PERF_EF_UPDATE) are ignored to
              keep tracing uninterrupted.  Explicit ioctl(ENABLE/DISABLE)
              and event deletion do control the hardware.

State tracking uses event->pmu_private (HTM_TRACING_ACTIVE/INACTIVE) as
the source of information, with event->hw.state kept in sync as
a hint for the perf core.  This avoids conflicts with infrastructure
writes to event->hw.state.

The H_HTM hcall may return H_BUSY (transient, retried up to MAX_RETRIES)
or H_LONG_BUSY_* (long delay required, not retried to avoid deadlocks in
atomic contexts).

After this patch the PMU is visible under sysfs:

 # ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ |grep htm
 htm

 # ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/htm/
 events  format  perf_event_mux_interval_ms  power  subsystem  type  uevent

Changes in V2:
- Replaced direct H_HTM_OP_CONFIGURE/DECONFIGURE calls in htm_event_add()
  and htm_event_del() with separate htm_event_init() and destroy paths.
  State tracking is now via event->pmu_private (HTM_TRACING_ACTIVE /
  HTM_TRACING_INACTIVE) as the authoritative source, with event->hw.state
  kept in sync as a hint for the perf core, avoiding conflicts with
  infrastructure writes to event->hw.state.
- Context-switch callbacks (PERF_EF_RELOAD / PERF_EF_UPDATE) are now
  explicitly ignored in htm_event_start()/stop() to keep tracing
  uninterrupted across task switches; previously these paths were absent.
- H_BUSY retry loop is capped at MAX_RETRIES; H_LONG_BUSY_* is not
  retried in atomic context to avoid deadlocks (was unconditionally
  retried in V1).
