When we've got but a single event per tracepoint
there is no reason to try and multiplex it so don't.

The trace event buffer used by perf to record raw sample events
is typed as an array of char and may then not be aligned to 8
by alloc_percpu().
But we need it to be aligned to 8 in sparc64 because we cast
this buffer into a random structure type built by the TRACE_EVENT()
macro to store the traces. So if a random 64 bits field is accessed
inside, it may be not under an expected good alignment.
Use an array of long instead to force the appropriate alignment, and
perform a compile time check to ensure the size in byte of the buffer
is a multiple of sizeof(long) so that its actual size doesn't get
shrinked under us.
This fixes unaligned accesses reported while using perf lock
in sparc 64.

...
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() is exported for the overriden x86
version, but not for the generic weak version.
As a general rule, weak functions should not have their symbol
exported in the same file they are defined.
So let's export it on trace_event_perf.c as it is used by trace
events only.
This fixes:
ERROR: ".perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs" [fs/xfs/xfs.ko] undefined!
ERROR: ".perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs" [arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko] undefined!
-v2: And also only build it if trace events are enabled.
-v3: Fix changelog mistake

Drop the obsolete "profile" naming used by perf for trace events.
Perf can now do more than simple events counting, so generalize
the API naming.
