cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle events from the cpuidle layer
Currently intel_idle and acpi_idle driver show double cpu_idle "exit idle" events -> this patch fixes it and makes cpu_idle events throwing less complex. It also introduces cpu_idle events for all architectures which use the cpuidle subsystem, namely: - arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c - arch/arm/mach-davinci/cpuidle.c - arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/cpuidle.c - arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c - arch/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c (for all cases, not only mwait) - arch/x86/kernel/process.c (did throw events before, but was a mess) - drivers/idle/intel_idle.c (did throw events before) Convention should be: Fire cpu_idle events inside the current pm_idle function (not somewhere down the the callee tree) to keep things easy. Current possible pm_idle functions in X86: c1e_idle, poll_idle, cpuidle_idle_call, mwait_idle, default_idle -> this is really easy is now. This affects userspace: The type field of the cpu_idle power event can now direclty get mapped to: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateX/{name,desc,usage,time,...} instead of throwing very CPU/mwait specific values. This change is not visible for the intel_idle driver. For the acpi_idle driver it should only be visible if the vendor misses out C-states in his BIOS. Another (perf timechart) patch reads out cpuidle info of cpu_idle events from: /sys/.../cpuidle/stateX/*, then the cpuidle events are mapped to the correct C-/cpuidle state again, even if e.g. vendors miss out C-states in their BIOS and for example only export C1 and C3. -> everything is fine.
