* oprofile, x86: Reimplement nmi timer mode using perf eventRobert Richter2011-11-041-13/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The legacy x86 nmi watchdog code was removed with the implementation of the perf based nmi watchdog. This broke Oprofile's nmi timer mode. To run nmi timer mode we relied on a continuous ticking nmi source which the nmi watchdog provided. The nmi tick was no longer available and current watchdog can not be used anymore since it runs with very long periods in the range of seconds. This patch reimplements the nmi timer mode using a perf counter nmi source. V2: * removing pr_info() * fix undefined reference to `__udivdi3' for 32 bit build * fix section mismatch of .cpuinit.data:nmi_timer_cpu_nb * removed nmi timer setup in arch/x86 * implemented function stubs for op_nmi_init/exit() * made code more readable in oprofile_init() V3: * fix architectural initialization in oprofile_init() * fix CONFIG_OPROFILE_NMI_TIMER dependencies Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
* oprofile: Remove exit function for timer modeRobert Richter2011-11-041-6/+2
| | | | | | | | Remove exit functions by moving init/exit code to oprofile's setup/ shutdown functions. Doing so the oprofile module exit code will be easier and less error-prone. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
* oprofile: Fix crash when unloading module (hr timer mode)Robert Richter2011-11-041-5/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Oprofile may crash in a KVM guest while unlaoding modules. This happens if oprofile_arch_init() fails and oprofile switches to the hr timer mode as a fallback. In this case oprofile_arch_exit() is called, but it never was initialized properly which causes the crash. This patch fixes this. oprofile: using timer interrupt.

* oprofile: disable write access to oprofilefs while profiler is runningRobert Richter2010-10-121-15/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Oprofile counters are setup when profiling is disabled. Thus, writing to oprofilefs has no immediate effect. Changes are updated only after oprofile is reenabled. To keep userland and kernel states synchronized, we now allow configuration of oprofile only if profiling is disabled. In this case it checks if the profiler is running and then disables write access to oprofilefs by returning -EBUSY. The change should be backward compatible with current oprofile userland daemon.

* oprofile: don't call arch exit code from init code on failureWill Deacon2010-08-311-9/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | oprofile_init calls oprofile_arch_init to initialise the architecture-specific backend code. If this backend code returns failure, oprofile_arch_exit is called immediately, making it difficult to allocate and free resources correctly. This patch removes the oprofile_arch_exit call from oprofile_init, meaning that all architectures must ensure that oprofile_arch_init cleans up any mess it's made before returning an error. As far as I can tell, this only affects the code for ARM.

* oprofile: convert oprofile from timer_hook to hrtimerMartin Schwidefsky2010-03-021-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | Oprofile is currently broken on systems running with NOHZ enabled. A maximum of 1 tick is accounted via the timer_hook if a cpu sleeps for a longer period of time. This does bad things to the percentages in the profiler output. To solve this problem convert oprofile to use a restarting hrtimer instead of the timer_hook.

* oprofile: Implement performance counter multiplexingJason Yeh2009-07-201-0/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters are provided by the hardware. This is realized by switching between events at an user specified time interval. A new file (/dev/oprofile/time_slice) is added for the user to specify the timer interval in ms. If the number of events to profile is higher than the number of hardware counters available, the patch will schedule a work queue that switches the event counter and re-writes the different sets of values into it. The switching mechanism needs to be implemented for each architecture to support multiplexing. This patch only implements AMD CPU support, but multiplexing can be easily extended for other models and architectures. There are follow-on patches that rework parts of this patch.

* Oprofile Multiplexing PatchJason Yeh2008-07-261-3/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces multiplexing support for the Oprofile kernel module. It basically adds a new function pointer in oprofile_operator allowing each architecture to supply its callback to switch between different sets of event when the timer expires. Userspace tools can modify the time slice through /dev/oprofile/time_slice. It also modifies the number of counters exposed to the userspace through /dev/oprofile. For example, the number of counters for AMD CPUs are changed to 32 and multiplexed in the sets of 4.

* [CELL] oprofile: add support to OProfile for profiling CELL BE SPUsBob Nelson2007-07-201-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com> This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c to add in the SPU profiling capabilities. In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code. Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data structures. Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn). Check pointer returned from kzalloc. Eliminated unnecessary cast. Better error handling and cleanup in the related area. 64-bit unsigned long parameter was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to unsigned long.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
