Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/3][v2] perf/Power7: Export MDTLB_SRC fields to userspace

Power7 saves the "perf-event vector" information in the mmcra register.
Included in this event vector is a "marked-data-TLB source", MDTLB_SRC,
field which identifies where in the memory-hierarchy the data for a TLB
miss was eventually found.

Use the 'struct perf_mem_data_src' to export the MDTLB_SRC field to
user space.

The mapping between the Power7 hierarchy levels and the arch-neutral levels
is, unfortunately, not trivial. Some existing arch-neutral levels are unused
in Power (eg: TLB_L1, TLB_WK, TLB_OS). But, Power7 provides several other
levels for the MDTLB_SRC, so this patch proposes adding new arch-neutral
levels.

Arch-neutral levels Power7 levels
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
local TLB_L2 local (same core) L2 (FROM_L2)
local TLB_L3 local (same core) L3 (FROM_L3)

1-hop TLB_REM_L2_CCE1* different core on same chip (FROM_L2.1)
1-hop TLB_REM_L3_CCE1* different core on same chip (FROM_L3.1)

2-hops TLB_REM_CCE2* remote (different chip, same node) (FROM_RL2L3)
3-hops TLB_REM_CCE3* distant (different node) (FROM_DL2L3)

1-hop TLB_REM_RAM1* unused
2-hops TLB_REM_RAM2* remote (different chip, same node) (FROM_RMEM)
3-hops TLB_REM_RAM3* distant (different node) (FROM_DMEM)

* proposed new levels.

As shown above, Power7 supports one extra level in the cache-hierarchy (i.e
total of 3-hops). To maintain consistency in terminology (i.e 2-hops = remote,
3-hops = distant), we propose leaving the REM_RAM1 unused in Power7 and adding
another level, REM_RAM3.

Further, in the above REM_CCE1 case, Power7 can also identify if the data came
from the L2 or L3 cache of another core on the same chip. To describe this
add the levels:

PERF_MEM_TLB_REM_L2_CCE1
PERF_MEM_TLB_REM_L3_CCE1

Finally, in the REM_CCE1 and REM_CCE2 cases, Power7 also indicates whether
the entry found in the remote cache was modified (dirty). So we add a new
state

PERF_MEM_TLB_CCE_DIRTY

Changelog[v2]:
- Address the MDTLB_SRC field before addressing the DCACHE_SRC field
since we can then keep the new ->mem_dtlb bits contigious.
(DCACHE_SRC needs a field, ->mem_xlvl in struct perf_mem_data_src
and will be added in the next patch)
