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: arch/Kconfig | 3 + arch/s390/Kconfig | 1 + arch/s390/oprofile/Makefile | 2 +- arch/s390/oprofile/hw...
