Profiling QEMU during Fedora 35 for PPC64 boot revealed that
6.39% of total time was being spent in helper_insns_inc(), on a
POWER9 machine. To avoid calling this helper every time PMCs had
to be incremented, an inline implementation of PMC5 increment and
check for overflow was developed. This led to a reduction of
about 12% in Fedora's boot time.

Leading underscores are ill-advised because such identifiers are
reserved. Trailing underscores are merely ugly. Strip both.
Our header guards commonly end in _H. Normalize the exceptions.
Macros should be ALL_CAPS. Normalize the exception.
Done with scripts/clean-header-guards.pl.
include/hw/xen/interface/ and tools/virtiofsd/ left alone, because
these were imported from Xen and libfuse respectively.

This is an exclusive TCG helper. Gating it with CONFIG_TCG and changing
meson.build accordingly will prevent problems --disable-tcg and
--disable-linux-user later on.
We're also changing the uses of !kvm_enabled() to tcg_enabled() to avoid
adding "defined(CONFIG_TCG)" ifdefs, since tcg_enabled() will be
defaulted to false with --disable-tcg and the block will always be
skipped.

This is the combination of frozen bit and counter type, on a per
counter basis. So far this is only used by HFLAGS_INSN_CNT, but
will be used more later.

The PMU is already counting cycles by calculating time elapsed in
nanoseconds. Counting instructions is a different matter and requires
another approach.
This patch adds the capability of counting completed instructions (Perf
event PM_INST_CMPL) by counting the amount of instructions translated in
each translation block right before exiting it.
A new pmu_count_insns() helper in translation.c was added to do that.
After verifying that the PMU is counting instructions, call
helper_insns_inc(). This new helper from power8-pmu.c will add the
instructions to the relevant counters. It'll also be responsible for
triggering counter negative overflows as it is already being done with
cycles.
To verify whether the PMU is counting instructions or now, a new hflags
named 'HFLAGS_INSN_CNT' is introduced. This flag will match the internal
state of the PMU. We're be using this flag to avoid calling
helper_insn_inc() when we do not have a valid instruction event being
sampled.

This patch starts an IBM Power8+ compatible PMU implementation by adding
the representation of PMU events that we are going to sample,
PMUEventType. This enum represents a Perf event that is being sampled by
a specific counter 'sprn'. Events that aren't available (i.e. no event
was set in MMCR1) will be of type 'PMU_EVENT_INVALID'. Events that are
inactive due to frozen counter bits state are of type
'PMU_EVENT_INACTIVE'. Other types added in this patch are
PMU_EVENT_CYCLES and PMU_EVENT_INSTRUCTIONS. More types will be added
later on.
Let's also add the required PMU cycle overflow timers. They will be used
to trigger cycle overflows when cycle events are being sampled. This
timer will call cpu_ppc_pmu_timer_cb(), which in turn calls
fire_PMC_interrupt(). Both functions are stubs that will be implemented
later on when EBB support is added.
Two new helper files are created to host this new logic.
cpu_ppc_pmu_init() will init all overflow timers during CPU init time.
