oprofile, s390: Rework hwsampler implementation
This patch is a rework of the hwsampler oprofile implementation that
has been applied recently. Now there are less non-architectural
changes. The only changes are:
* introduction of oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample(), and
* removal of section attributes of oprofile_timer_init/_exit().
To setup hwsampler for oprofile we need to modify start()/stop()
callbacks and additional hwsampler control files in oprofilefs. We do
not reinitialize the timer or hwsampler mode by restarting calling
init/exit() anymore, instead hwsampler_running is used to switch the
mode directly in oprofile_hwsampler_start/_stop(). For locking reasons
there is also hwsampler_file that reflects the value in oprofilefs.
The overall diffstat of the oprofile s390 hwsampler implemenation
shows the low impact to non-architectural code:
