+ * perfmon_syscalls.c: perfmon2 system call interface
+ *
+ * This file implements the perfmon2 interface which
+ * provides access to the hardware performance counters
+ * of the host processor.
+ *
+ * The initial version of perfmon.c was written by
+ * Ganesh Venkitachalam, IBM Corp.
+ *
+ * Then it was modified for perfmon-1.x by Stephane Eranian and
+ * David Mosberger, Hewlett Packard Co.
+ *
+ * Version Perfmon-2.x is a complete rewrite of perfmon-1.x
+ * by Stephane Eranian, Hewlett Packard Co.

+ * Context locking rules:
+ * ---------------------
+ * - any thread with access to the file descriptor of a context can
+ * potentially issue perfmon calls
+ *
+ * - calls must be serialized to guarantee correctness
+ *
+ * - as soon as a context is attached to a thread or CPU, it may be
+ * actively monitoring. On some architectures, such as IA-64, this
+ * is true even though the pfm_start() call has not been made. This
+ * comes from the fact that on some architectures, it is possible to
+ * start/stop monitoring from userland.
+ *
+ * - If monitoring is active, then there can PMU interrupts. Because
+ * context accesses must be serialized, the perfmon system calls
+ * must mask interrupts as soon as the context is attached.
+ *
+ * - perfmon system calls that operate with the context unloaded cannot
+ * assume it is actually unloaded when they are called. They first need
+ * to check and for that they need interrupts masked. Then, if the
+ * context is actually unloaded, they can unmask interrupts.
+ *
+ * - interrupt masking holds true for other internal perfmon functions as
+ * well. Except for PMU interrupt handler because those interrupts
+ * cannot be nested.
+ *
+ * - we mask ALL interrupts instead of just the PMU interrupt because we
+ * also need to protect against timer interrupts which could trigger
+ * a set switch.
