From a4eaf7f14675cb512d69f0c928055e73d0c6d252 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 14:37:10 +0200 Subject: perf: Rework the PMU methods Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument. The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with the generic stopped state. This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain code paths (like IRQ handlers). It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters). The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on how the architecture implemented the throttled state: 1) We disable the counter: a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: paulus Cc: stephane eranian Cc: Robert Richter Cc: Will Deacon Cc: Paul Mundt Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov Cc: Lin Ming Cc: Yanmin Cc: Deng-Cheng Zhu Cc: David Miller Cc: Michael Cree LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- include/linux/ftrace_event.h | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'include/linux/ftrace_event.h') diff --git a/include/linux/ftrace_event.h b/include/linux/ftrace_event.h index 5f8ad7bec636..8beabb958f61 100644 --- a/include/linux/ftrace_event.h +++ b/include/linux/ftrace_event.h @@ -252,8 +252,8 @@ DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct pt_regs, perf_trace_regs); extern int perf_trace_init(struct perf_event *event); extern void perf_trace_destroy(struct perf_event *event); -extern int perf_trace_enable(struct perf_event *event); -extern void perf_trace_disable(struct perf_event *event); +extern int perf_trace_add(struct perf_event *event, int flags); +extern void perf_trace_del(struct perf_event *event, int flags); extern int ftrace_profile_set_filter(struct perf_event *event, int event_id, char *filter_str); extern void ftrace_profile_free_filter(struct perf_event *event); -- cgit v1.2.3
