Peter Zijlstra 43a21ea81a perf_counter: Add event overlow handling ...

Alternative method of mmap() data output handling that provides
better overflow management and a more reliable data stream.

Unlike the previous method, that didn't have any user->kernel
feedback and relied on userspace keeping up, this method relies on
userspace writing its last read position into the control page.

It will ensure new output doesn't overwrite not-yet read events,
new events for which there is no space left are lost and the
overflow counter is incremented, providing exact event loss
numbers.
