Bob Nelson 1474855d08 [CELL] oprofile: add support to OProfile for profiling CELL BE SPUs
From: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com>

This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c
to add in the SPU profiling capabilities.  In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory
was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code.
Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which
are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data
structures.

Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn).  Check pointer
returned from kzalloc.  Eliminated unnecessary cast.  Better error
handling and cleanup in the related area.  64-bit unsigned long parameter
was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to
unsigned long.

Kelly Daly 2191fe3e39 [POWERPC] re-enable OProfile for iSeries, using timer interrupt
This patch removes the changes from an earlier patch that disables
oProfile for iSeries within the oProfile KConfig (submitted Feb 23,
2006).  Checks within the arch init for iSeries, still allowing profiling
for timer interrupts (using firmware_has_feature).

Kelly Daly 611ae59c62 [PATCH] powerpc: disable OProfile for iSeries
Disable OProfile in Kconfig for iSeries to prevent hangs.  OProfile
was not originally intended to work with legacy iSeries.

Prasanna S Panchamukhi cd6b0762a0 [PATCH] Move Kprobes and Oprofile to "Instrumentation Support" menu
Andrew Morton suggested to move kprobes from kernel hacking menu, since
kernel hacking menu is in-appropriate for the Kprobes.  This patch moves
Kprobes and Oprofile under instrumentation menu.

(akpm: it's not a natural fit, but things like djprobes and the s390 guys'
statistics library need a home)
