On some Intel processors, not all events can be measured in all counters. Some events can only be measured in one particular counter, for instance. Assigning an event to the wrong counter does not crash the machine but this yields bogus counts, i.e., silent error. This patch changes the event to counter assignment logic to take into account event constraints for Intel P6, Core and Nehalem processors. There is no contraints on Intel Atom. There are constraints on Intel Yonah (Core Duo) but they are not provided in this patch given that this processor is not yet supported by perf_events. As a result of the constraints, it is possible for some event groups to never actually be loaded onto the PMU if they contain two events which can only be measured on a single counter. That situation can be detected with the scaling information extracted with read().
