Subject: [PATCH] [alpha] Add minimal support for software performance events.
In the kernel the patch enables configuration of the perf event
option, adds the perf_event_open syscall, and includes a minimal
architecture specific asm/perf_event.h header file.
For the perf tool the patch implements an Alpha specific section
in the perf.h header file and adjusts options used in the
Makefile to allow compilation on Alpha. The -Wcast-align gives
a "cast increases required alignment of target type" warning for
the list_for_each_entry() macro. The -fstack-protector-all
option generates a "not supported for this target" warning which
with -Werror causes the compiler to abort.
