      perf report: Filter to parent set by default · b8e6d829
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Make it easier to use parent filtering - default to a filtered
output. Also add the parent column so that we get collapsing but
dont display it by default.

add --no-exclude-other to override this.

      perf_counter tools: Handle lost events · 9d91a6f7
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Make use of the new ->data_tail mechanism to tell kernel-space
about user-space draining the data stream. Emit lost events
(and display them) if they happen.

      perf_counter: Add event overlow handling · 43a21ea8
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Alternative method of mmap() data output handling that provides
better overflow management and a more reliable data stream.

Unlike the previous method, that didn't have any user->kernel
feedback and relied on userspace keeping up, this method relies on
userspace writing its last read position into the control page.

It will ensure new output doesn't overwrite not-yet read events,
new events for which there is no space left are lost and the
overflow counter is incremented, providing exact event loss
numbers.

      fs: Provide empty .set_page_dirty() aop for anon inodes · d3a9262e
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      .set_page_dirty() is one of those a_ops that defaults to the
buffer implementation when not set. Therefore provide a dummy
function to make it do nothing.

(Uncovered by perfcounters fd's which can now be writable-mmap-ed.)

      perf_counter: tools: Makefile tweaks for 64-bit powerpc · e24a72c4
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      On 64-bit powerpc, perf needs to be built as a 64-bit executable.
This arranges to add the -m64 flag to CFLAGS if we are running on
a 64-bit machine, indicated by the result of uname -m ending in "64".
This means that we'll use -m64 on x86_64 machines as well.

      perf_counter: powerpc: Add processor back-end for MPC7450 family · 7325927e
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This adds support for the performance monitor hardware on the
MPC7450 family of processors (7450, 7451, 7455, 7447/7457, 7447A,
7448), used in the later Apple G4 powermacs/powerbooks and other
machines.  These machines have 6 hardware counters with a unique
set of events which can be counted on each counter, with some
events being available on multiple counters.

Raw event codes for these processors are (PMC << 8) + PMCSEL.
If PMC is non-zero then the event is that selected by the given
PMCSEL value for that PMC (hardware counter).  If PMC is zero
then the event selected is one of the low-numbered ones that are
common to several PMCs.  In this case PMCSEL must be <= 22 and
the event is what that PMCSEL value would select on PMC1 (but
it may be placed any other PMC that has the same event for that
PMCSEL value).

For events that count cycles or occurrences that exceed a threshold,
the threshold requested can be specified in the 0x3f000 bits of the
raw event codes.  If the event uses the threshold multiplier bit
and that bit should be set, that is indicated with the 0x40000 bit
of the raw event code.

This fills in some of the generic cache events.  Unfortunately there
are quite a few blank spaces in the table, partly because these
processors tend to count cache hits rather than cache accesses.

      perf_counter: powerpc: Make powerpc perf_counter code safe for 32-bit kernels · 98fb1807
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This abstracts a few things in arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c
that are specific to 64-bit kernels, and provides definitions for
32-bit kernels.  In particular,

* Only 64-bit has MMCRA and the bits in it that give information
  about a PMU interrupt (sampled PR, HV, slot number etc.)
* Only 64-bit has the lppaca and the lppaca->pmcregs_in_use field
* Use of SDAR is confined to 64-bit for now
* Only 64-bit has soft/lazy interrupt disable and therefore
  pseudo-NMIs (interrupts that occur while interrupts are soft-disabled)
* Only 64-bit has PMC7 and PMC8
* Only 64-bit has the MSR_HV bit.

This also fixes the types used in a couple of places, where we were
using long types for things that need to be 64-bit.

      perf_counter: powerpc: Change how processor-specific back-ends get selected · 079b3c56
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      At present, the powerpc generic (processor-independent) perf_counter
code has list of processor back-end modules, and at initialization,
it looks at the PVR (processor version register) and has a switch
statement to select a suitable processor-specific back-end.

This is going to become inconvenient as we add more processor-specific
back-ends, so this inverts the order: now each back-end checks whether
it applies to the current processor, and registers itself if so.
Furthermore, instead of looking at the PVR, back-ends now check the
cur_cpu_spec->oprofile_cpu_type string and match on that.

Lastly, each back-end now specifies a name for itself so the core can
print a nice message when a back-end registers itself.

This doesn't provide any support for unregistering back-ends, but that
wouldn't be hard to do and would allow back-ends to be modules.

      perf_counter: powerpc: Use unsigned long for register and constraint values · 448d64f8
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This changes the powerpc perf_counter back-end to use unsigned long
types for hardware register values and for the value/mask pairs used
in checking whether a given set of events fit within the hardware
constraints.  This is in preparation for adding support for the PMU
on some 32-bit powerpc processors.  On 32-bit processors the hardware
registers are only 32 bits wide, and the PMU structure is generally
simpler, so 32 bits should be ample for expressing the hardware
constraints.  On 64-bit processors, unsigned long is 64 bits wide,
so using unsigned long vs. u64 (unsigned long long) makes no actual
difference.

This makes some other very minor changes: adjusting whitespace to line
things up in initialized structures, and simplifying some code in
hw_perf_disable().

      perf_counter: powerpc: Enable use of software counters on 32-bit powerpc · 105988c0
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This enables the perf_counter subsystem on 32-bit powerpc.  Since we
don't have any support for hardware counters on 32-bit powerpc yet,
only software counters can be used.

Besides selecting HAVE_PERF_COUNTERS for 32-bit powerpc as well as
64-bit, the main thing this does is add an implementation of
set_perf_counter_pending().  This needs to arrange for
perf_counter_do_pending() to be called when interrupts are enabled.
Rather than add code to local_irq_restore as 64-bit does, the 32-bit
set_perf_counter_pending() generates an interrupt by setting the
decrementer to 1 so that a decrementer interrupt will become pending
in 1 or 2 timebase ticks (if a decrementer interrupt isn't already
pending).  When interrupts are enabled, timer_interrupt() will be
called, and some new code in there calls perf_counter_do_pending().
We use a per-cpu array of flags to indicate whether we need to call
perf_counter_do_pending() or not.

This introduces a couple of new Kconfig symbols: PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT,
which is selected by processor families for which we have hardware PMU
support (currently only PPC64), and PPC_PERF_CTRS, which enables the
powerpc-specific perf_counter back-end.

      perf report: Tidy up the "--parent <regex>" and "--sort parent" call-chain features · b25bcf2f
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Instead of the ambigious 'call' naming use the much more
specific 'parent' naming:

 - rename --call <regex> to --parent <regex>

 - rename --sort call to --sort parent

 - rename [unmatched] to [other] - to signal that this is not
   an error but the inverse set

Also add pagefaults to the default parent-symbol pattern too,
as it's a 'syscall overhead category' in a sense.
