arm_pmu: Fix write counter incorrect in ARMv7 big-endian mode

2021-06-01T13:17:01Z

Commit 3a95200d3f89 ("arm_pmu: Change API to support 64bit counter values") changes the input "value" type from 32-bit to 64-bit, which introduces the following problem: ARMv7 PMU counters is 32-bit width, in big-endian mode, write counter uses high 32-bit, which writes an incorrect value. Before: Performance counter stats for 'ls': 2.22 msec task-clock # 0.675 CPUs utilized 0 context-switches # 0.000 K/sec 0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec 49 page-faults # 0.022 M/sec 2150476593 cycles # 966.663 GHz 2148588788 instructions # 1.00 insn per cycle 2147745484 branches # 965435.074 M/sec 2147508540 branch-misses # 99.99% of all branches None of the above hw event counters are correct. Solution: "value" forcibly converted to 32-bit type before being written to PMU register.

arm_pmu: Tidy up clear_event_idx call backs

2018-07-10T17:19:02Z

The armpmu uses get_event_idx callback to allocate an event counter for a given event, which marks the selected counter as "used". Now, when we delete the counter, the arm_pmu goes ahead and clears the "used" bit and then invokes the "clear_event_idx" call back, which kind of splits the job between the core code and the backend. To keep things tidy, mandate the implementation of clear_event_idx() and add it for exisiting backends. This will be useful for adding the chained event support, where we leave the event idx maintenance to the backend. Also, when an event is removed from the PMU, reset the hw.idx to indicate that a counter is not allocated for this event, to help the backends do better checks. This will be also used for the chain counter support. Cc: Will Deacon Cc: Mark Rutland Reviewed-by: Julien Thierry Signed-off-by: Suzuki K Poulose Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

arm_pmu: Change API to support 64bit counter values

2018-07-10T17:19:02Z

Convert the {read/write}_counter APIs to handle 64bit values to enable supporting chained event counters. The backends still use 32bit values and we pass them 32bit values only. So in effect there are no functional changes. Cc: Will Deacon Acked-by: Mark Rutland Reviewed-by: Julien Thierry Signed-off-by: Suzuki K Poulose Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

arm_pmu: Clean up maximum period handling

2018-07-10T17:19:02Z

Each PMU defines their max_period of the counter as the maximum value that can be counted. Since all the PMU backends support 32bit counters by default, let us remove the redundant field. No functional changes. Cc: Will Deacon Acked-by: Mark Rutland Reviewed-by: Julien Thierry Signed-off-by: Suzuki K Poulose Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

arm_pmu: simplify arm_pmu::handle_irq

2018-05-21T17:07:05Z

The arm_pmu::handle_irq() callback has the same prototype as a generic IRQ handler, taking the IRQ number and a void pointer argument which it must convert to an arm_pmu pointer. This means that all arm_pmu::handle_irq() take an IRQ number they never use, and all must explicitly cast the void pointer to an arm_pmu pointer. Instead, let's change arm_pmu::handle_irq to take an arm_pmu pointer, allowing these casts to be removed. The redundant IRQ number parameter is also removed.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
