perf, ARM: Modify kuser rmb() call to compile for Thumb-2

2010-03-04T11:13:28Z

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 ARM

2009-12-11T12:50:21Z

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 Cc: Russell King Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Mikael Pettersson LKML-Reference: <1260534009-5394-1-git-send-email-jamie.iles@picochip.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events

2009-09-21T12:28:04Z

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_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 Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Acked-by: Paul Mackerras Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: David Howells Cc: Kyle McMartin Cc: Martin Schwidefsky Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Add P6 PMU support

2009-07-10T08:28:26Z

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.
