powerpc: Uprobes port to powerpc



This is the port of uprobes to powerpc. Usage is similar to x86.

[root@xxxx ~]# ./bin/perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
Added new event:
  probe_libc:malloc    (on 0xb4860)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

[root@xxxx ~]# ./bin/perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 20
[ perf record: Woken up 22 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 5.843 MB perf.data (~255302 samples) ]
[root@xxxx ~]# ./bin/perf report --stdio
...

    69.05%           tar  libc-2.12.so   [.] malloc
    28.57%            rm  libc-2.12.so   [.] malloc
     1.32%  avahi-daemon  libc-2.12.so   [.] malloc
     0.58%          bash  libc-2.12.so   [.] malloc
     0.28%          sshd  libc-2.12.so   [.] malloc
     0.08%    irqbalance  libc-2.12.so   [.] malloc
     0.05%         bzip2  libc-2.12.so   [.] malloc
     0.04%         sleep  libc-2.12.so   [.] malloc
     0.03%    multipathd  libc-2.12.so   [.] malloc
     0.01%      sendmail  libc-2.12.so   [.] malloc
     0.01%     automount  libc-2.12.so   [.] malloc

The trap_nr addition patch is a prereq.
