Subject: [RFC] [PATCH] perf, x86: Add PERF_COUNT_HW_NMI_WATCHDOG event
Because of Netburst HW restriction we can't move events arbitrary
between counters and this makes 'perf top' unable to run if nmi-watchdog
is running (since both uses PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES but such event is
bound to run on a few counters only). So as a workaround we could count that named
non-sleeping ticks (as oprofile does) and both perf top and nmi-watchdog would co-exsist
without conflicts but kernel needs to know about such specifics -- so PERF_COUNT_HW_NMI_WATCHDOG
event is introduced. This event is an alias of PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES for non-P4 x86
architecture so nothing much changed I think.
Please review, I might be missing something. Also comments on idea is quite welcome since
it touches ABI part.

Subject: [PATCH] perf, x86: Add PERF_COUNT_HW_NMI_WATCHDOG event
Due to restriction and specifics of Netburst PMU we need
a separated event for NMI watchdog. Note that on all other
than P4 PMU cpus this event is a simple alias for PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES.
