<title>xtensa/perf: Remove driver-specific throttle support</title>

<content type='text'>
The throttle support has been added in the generic code. Remove
the driver-specific throttle support.

Besides the throttle, perf_event_overflow may return true because of
event_limit. It already does an inatomic event disable. The pmu-&gt;stop
is not required either.

When the state names got added a script was used to add the extra argument
to the calls. The script basically converted the state constant to a
string, but the cleanup to convert these strings into meaningful ones did
not happen.

Replace all the useless strings with 'subsys/xxx/yyy:state' strings which
are used in all the other places already.

This makes perf_callchain_{user,kernel}() receive the max stack

the global sysctl_perf_event_max_stack.

<title>perf core: Allow setting up max frame stack depth via sysctl</title>

The default remains 127, which is good for most cases, and not even hit
most of the time, but then for some cases, as reported by Brendan, 1024+
deep frames are appearing on the radar for things like groovy, ruby.

And in some workloads putting a _lower_ cap on this may make sense. One
that is per event still needs to be put in place tho.

The new file is:

  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  127

Chaging it:

  # echo 256 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  256

But as soon as there is some event using callchains we get:

  # echo 512 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
  #

Because we only allocate the callchain percpu data structures when there
is a user, which allows for changing the max easily, its just a matter
of having no callchain users at that point.

In case perf IRQ is the highest of the medium-level IRQs, and is alone
on its level, it may be treated as NMI:
- LOCKLEVEL is defined to be one level less than EXCM level,
- IRQ masking never lowers current IRQ level,
- new fake exception cause code, EXCCAUSE_MAPPED_NMI is assigned to that
  IRQ; new second level exception handler, do_nmi, assigned to it
  handles it as NMI,
- atomic operations in configurations without s32c1i still need to mask
  all interrupts.
