MIPS, Perf-events: Work with the new callchain interface
This is the MIPS part of the following commits by Frederic Weisbecker:
-
f72c1a931e311bb7780fee19e41a89ac42cab50e
perf: Factorize callchain context handling
Store the kernel and user contexts from the generic layer instead
of archs, this gathers some repetitive code.

perf: Generalize some arch callchain code
- Most archs use one callchain buffer per cpu, except x86 that needs
to deal with NMIs. Provide a default perf_callchain_buffer()
implementation that x86 overrides.
- Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch
handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel()
That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so...
- Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the
left, regs to the right, following the traditional (dst, src).

perf: Generalize callchain_store()
callchain_store() is the same on every archs, inline it in
perf_event.h and rename it to perf_callchain_store() to avoid
any collision.
This removes repetitive code.

perf: Drop unappropriate tests on arch callchains
Drop the TASK_RUNNING test on user tasks for callchains as
this check doesn't seem to make any sense.
Also remove the tests for !current that is not supposed to
happen and current->pid as this should be handled at the
generic level, with exclude_idle attribute.
