Hello.

We need a full barrier after writing out event index, using
virt_store_mb there seems better than open-coding. As usual, we need a
wrapper to account for strong barriers.
It's tempting to use this in vhost as well, for that, we'll
need
In POWER8, OCC(On-Chip-Controller) can throttle the frequency of the
CPU when the chip crosses its thermal and power limits. Currently,
powernv-cpufreq driver detects and reports this event as a console
message. Some boxes may not sustain the max turbo frequency in all
conditions and can be throttl
This patch adds the powernv_throttle tracepoint to trace the CPU
frequency throttling event, which is used by the powernv-cpufreq
driver in POWER8.

Changes from v1:
- Export the tracepoint
include/trace/events/power.h | 22
Replace the throttling event console messages to perf trace point
"power:powernv_throttle" and throttle counter stats which are
exported in sysfs in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/chipN. The
newly added sysfs files are as follows:
