Replace all uses of current_cpu_data with this_cpu operations on the per cpu structure cpu_info. The scala accesses are replaced with the matching this_cpu ops which results in smaller and more efficient code. In the long run, it might be a good idea to remove cpu_data() macro too and use per_cpu macro directly. tj: updated description Cc: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: H.

2009-09-21perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar1-2/+2
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.

2009-07-20oprofile: Implement performance counter multiplexingJason Yeh1-0/+2
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.

2009-02-05perfcounters: fix "perf counters kills oprofile" bug, v2Ingo Molnar1-0/+8
Impact: fix kernel crash Both oprofile and perfcounters register an NMI die handler, but only one can handle the NMI. Conveniently, oprofile unregisters it's notifier when not actively in use, so setting it's notifier priority higher than perfcounter's allows oprofile to borrow the NMI for the duration of it's run. Tested/works both as module and built-in. While testing, I found that if kerneltop was generating NMIs at very high frequency, the kernel may panic when oprofile registered it's handler. This turned out to be because oprofile registers it's handler before reset_value has been allocated, so if an NMI comes in while it's still setting up, kabOom. Rather than try more invasive changes, I followed the lead of other places in op_model_ppro.c, and simply returned in that highly unlikely event.

2008-10-13oprofile: Implement Intel architectural perfmon supportAndi Kleen1-22/+82
Newer Intel CPUs (Core1+) have support for architectural events described in CPUID 0xA. See the IA32 SDM Vol3b.18 for details. The advantage of this is that it can be done without knowing about the specific CPU, because the CPU describes by itself what performance events are supported. This is only a fallback because only a limited set of 6 events are supported. This allows to do profiling on Nehalem and on Atom systems (later not tested) This patch implements support for that in oprofile's Intel Family 6 profiling module. It also has the advantage of supporting an arbitary number of events now as reported by the CPU. Also allow arbitary counter widths >32bit while we're at it.

2008-07-26Oprofile Multiplexing PatchJason Yeh1-0/+2
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.
