Applied to oprofile/urgent, thanks Ari.

I squashed patch 2 and 3 and modified the commit messages (see below).

Added to .37-stable.

commit d14dd7e20d5e526557f5d3cfef4046a642f80924

    ARM: oprofile: Fix backtraces in timer mode
    
    Always allow backtraces when using oprofile on ARM, even if a PMU
    isn't present. Restores functionality originally introduced in commit
    1b7b56982fdcd9d85effd76f3928cf5d6eb26155 ("oprofile: Always allow
    backtraces on ARM") by Richard Purdie.
    
    It is not that obvious, but there is now only one oprofile_arch_init()
    function. So the .backtrace callback is available also in timer mode.
    
    Implemented by removing code and using stubs for oprofile_perf_{init,
    exit} provided by <linux/oprofile.h>. This allows cleaning of other
    architecture specific implementations too.

    oprofile: Fix usage of CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS for oprofile_perf_init and friends
    
    The implementations are flagged in Makefile with CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS
    instead of CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS.
