* perf, ARM: Modify kuser rmb() call to compile for Thumb-2Will Deacon2010-03-041-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Thumb-2 instruction set does not provide an encoding for sub pc, r0, #95 as present in the rmb() definition used by perf. This results in compilation failure when using a compiler targetting an instruction set other than ARM. This patch redefines rmb() for ARM by casting the address of the kuser helper to a function pointer, therefore getting the compiler to take care of making the call. Patch taken against tip/master.

* perf tools: Allow building for ARMJamie Iles2009-12-111-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add definitions of rmb() and cpu_relax() and include the ARM unistd.h header. The __kuser_memory_barrier helper in the helper page is used to provide the correct memory barrier depending on the CPU type. [ The rmb() will work on v6 and v7, segfault on v5. Dynamic detection to add v5 support will be added later. ] Signed-off-by: Jamie Iles <jamie.iles@picochip.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> LKML-Reference: <1260534009-5394-1-git-send-email-jamie.iles@picochip.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar2009-09-211-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

| * perf_counter: Add P6 PMU supportVince Weaver2009-07-101-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add basic P6 PMU support. The P6 uses the EVNTSEL0 EN bit to enable/disable both its counters. We use this for the global enable/disable, and clear all config bits (except EN) to disable individual counters. Actual ia32 hardware doesn't support lfence, so use a locked op without side-effect to implement a full barrier. perf stat and perf record seem to function correctly.

* perf_counter tools: Define and use our own u64, s64 etc. definitionsPaul Mackerras2009-06-191-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than unsigned long long. This causes compiler warnings every time we print a __u64 value with %Lx. Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long. For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8. These definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h. The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8} to remove the "__". The other changes are: * Create types.h * Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h * Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile * Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table() to kill two remaining warnings.

* perf_counter: Add forward/backward attribute ABI compatibilityPeter Zijlstra2009-06-121-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide for means of extending the perf_counter_attr in a 'natural' way. We allow growing the structure by appending fields at the end by specifying the full structure size inside it. When a new kernel sees a smaller (old) structure, it will 0 pad the tail. When an old kernel sees a larger (new) structure, it will verify the tail consists of 0s, otherwise fail. If we fail due to a size-mismatch, we return -E2BIG and write the kernel's native attribe size back into the provided structure. Furthermore, add some attribute verification, so that we'll fail counter creation when unknown bits are present (PERF_SAMPLE, PERF_FORMAT, or in the __reserved fields). (This ABI detail is introduced while keeping the existing syscall ABI.)
