[PATCH] 1/2 Oprofile support for Power9

[Will Schmidt]

Hi,

Add initial support for PPC64/Power9 to oprofile.
This includes the documentation updates to indicate "power9",
the PVR values, and all the other updates that will be necessary.
(This is based on a review of changes made when Power8 support
was initially added).
The long-ish event list follows as a subsequent patch.

Hi Will,

I have started to review the power9 patches. IIRC OProfile uses libpfm for some of the event mapping for power processors. Is that the case for power9 also? Are there similar power9 patches coming for libpfm?

Yes. They've been sent (yesterday), and I believe are now in the
moderator queue awaiting approval, due to their size.

Hi Will,

The patches looked reasonable, so they have been checked into the main oprofile git repository. Thanks for the patches.

Do you have some patches to add to the oprofile-testsuite to allow testing oprofile on power9?

I had spaced this part, my bad. Thanks for the reminder... :-)

Patch to add p9 to the testsuite will be following momentarily.

The patches apply cleanly and build fine.

Hmm, same thing for me here. I'm not sure what is going on with
power.org. I'll have to get back to you on this one.

The power.org references are no longer valid.
Openpowerfoundation.org is the current home for the P8 and newer
documents.
I'll have an update for the power8/power9 references from ophelp posted
here momentarily.

Thanks,
