Peter Zijlstra 7b732a7504 perf_counter: new output ABI - part 1
Impact: Rework the perfcounter output ABI

use sys_read() only for instant data and provide mmap() output for all
async overflow data.

The first mmap() determines the size of the output buffer. The mmap()
size must be a PAGE_SIZE multiple of 1+pages, where pages must be a
power of 2 or 0. Further mmap()s of the same fd must have the same
size. Once all maps are gone, you can again mmap() with a new size.

In case of 0 extra pages there is no data output and the first page
only contains meta data.

When there are data pages, a poll() event will be generated for each
full page of data. Furthermore, the output is circular. This means
that although 1 page is a valid configuration, its useless, since
we'll start overwriting it the instant we report a full page.

Future work will focus on the output format (currently maintained)
where we'll likey want each entry denoted by a header which includes a
type and length.

Further future work will allow to splice() the fd, also containing the
async overflow data -- splice() would be mutually exclusive with
mmap() of the data.
