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:

OProfile is enhanced to export all files for controlling System z's
hardware sampling, and to invoke hwsampler exported functions to
initialize and use System z's hardware sampling.
The patch invokes hwsampler_setup() during oprofile init and exports
following hwsampler files under oprofilefs if hwsampler's setup
succeeded:
A new directory for hardware sampling based files
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/
The userland daemon must explicitly write to the following files
to disable (or enable) hardware based sampling
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hwsampler
to modify the actual sampling rate
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_interval
to modify the amount of sampling memory (measured in 4K pages)
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_sdbt_blocks
The following files are read only and show
the possible minimum sampling rate
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_min_interval
the possible maximum sampling rate
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_max_interval
The patch splits the oprofile_timer_[init/exit] function so that it
can be also called through user context (oprofilefs) to avoid kernel
oops.
Applied with following changes:
* whitespace changes in Makefile and timer_int.c

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
