2010-05-10Oprofile: Change CPUIDS from decimal to hex, and add some commentsJohn Villalovos
Back when the patch was submitted for "Add Xeon 7500 series support to oprofile", Robert Richter had asked for a followon patch that converted all the CPU ID values to hex. I have done that here for the "i386/core_i7" and "i386/atom" class processors in the ppro_init() function and also added some comments on where to find documentation on the Intel processors.

2010-05-06oprofile/x86: make AMD IBS hotplug capableRobert Richter
Current IBS code is not hotplug capable. An offline cpu might not be initialized or deinitialized properly. This patch fixes this by removing on_each_cpu() functions. The IBS init/deinit code is executed in the per-cpu functions model->setup_ctrs() and model->cpu_down() which are also called by hotplug notifiers. model->cpu_down() replaces model->exit() that became obsolete.

2010-05-06oprofile/x86: notify cpus only when daemon is runningRobert Richter
This patch moves the cpu notifier registration from nmi_init() to nmi_setup(). The corresponding unregistration function is now in nmi_shutdown(). Thus, the hotplug code is only active, if the oprofile daemon is running. Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

2010-05-04oprofile/x86: stop disabled counters in nmi handlerRobert Richter
This patch adds checks to the nmi handler. Now samples are only generated and counters reenabled, if the counters are running. Otherwise the counters are stopped, if oprofile is using the nmi. In other cases it will ignore the nmi notification. Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2010-05-04oprofile/x86: protect cpu hotplug sectionsRobert Richter
This patch reworks oprofile cpu hotplug code as follows: Introduce ctr_running variable to check, if counters are running or not. The state must be known for taking a cpu on or offline and when switching counters during counter multiplexing. Protect on_each_cpu() sections with get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpu() functions. This is necessary if notifiers or states are modified. Within these sections the cpu mask may not change. Switch only between counters in nmi_cpu_switch(), if counters are running. Otherwise the switch may restart a counter though they are disabled. Add nmi_cpu_setup() and nmi_cpu_shutdown() to cpu hotplug code. The function must also be called to avoid uninitialzed counter usage. Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2010-05-04oprofile/x86: remove CONFIG_SMP macrosRobert Richter

2010-05-04oprofile/x86: fix uninitialized counter usage during cpu hotplugRobert Richter
This fixes a NULL pointer dereference that is triggered when taking a cpu offline after oprofile was initialized, e.g.: $ opcontrol --init $ opcontrol --start-daemon $ opcontrol --shutdown $ opcontrol --deinit $ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online See the crash dump below. Though the counter has been disabled the cpu notifier is still active and trying to use already freed counter data. This fix is for linux-stable. To proper fix this, the hotplug code must be rewritten. Thus I will leave a WARN_ON_ONCE() message with this patch.

2010-02-26oprofile/x86: add comment to counter-in-use warningNaga Chumbalkar
Currently, oprofile fails silently on platforms where a non-OS entity such as the system firmware "enables" and uses a performance counter. There is a warning in the code for this case. The warning indicates an already running counter. If oprofile doesn't collect data, then try using a different performance counter on your platform to monitor the desired event. Delete the counter from the desired event by editing the /usr/share/oprofile/<cpu_type>/<cpu>/events file. If the event cannot be monitored by any other counter, contact your hardware or BIOS vendor.

2010-02-26oprofile/x86: implement randomization for IBS periodic op counterRobert Richter
IBS selects an op (execution operation) for sampling by counting either cycles or dispatched ops. Better statistical samples can be produced by adding a software generated random offset to the periodic op counter value with each sample. This patch adds software randomization to the IBS periodic op counter. The lower 12 bits of the 20 bit counter are randomized. IbsOpCurCnt is initialized with a 12 bit random value. There is a work around if the hw can not write to IbsOpCurCnt. Then the lower 8 bits of the 16 bit IbsOpMaxCnt [15:0] value are randomized in the range of -128 to +127 by adding/subtracting an offset to the maximum count (IbsOpMaxCnt). The linear feedback shift register (LFSR) algorithm is used for pseudo-random number generation to have low impact to the memory system. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2010-02-26oprofile/x86: implement lsfr pseudo-random number generator for IBSSuravee Suthikulpanit
This patch implements a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) for pseudo-random number generation for IBS. For IBS measurements it would be good to minimize memory traffic in the interrupt handler since every access pollutes the data caches. Computing a maximal period LFSR just needs shifts and ORs. The LFSR method is good enough to randomize the ops at low overhead. 16 pseudo-random bits are enough for the implementation and it doesn't matter that the pattern repeats with a fairly short cycle. It only needs to break up (hard) periodic sampling behavior. The logic was designed by Paul Drongowski.

2010-02-26oprofile/x86: implement IBS cpuid feature detectionRobert Richter
This patch adds IBS feature detection using cpuid flags. An IBS capability mask is introduced to test for certain IBS features. The bit mask is the same as for IBS cpuid feature flags (Fn8000_001B_EAX), but bit 0 is used to indicate the existence of IBS. The patch also changes the handling of the IbsOpCntCtl bit (periodic op counter count control). The oprofilefs file for this feature (ibs_op/dispatched_ops) will be only exposed if the feature is available, also the default for the bit is set to count clock cycles. In general, the userland can detect the availability of a feature by checking for the corresponding file in oprofilefs. If it exists, the feature also exists. This may lead to a dynamic file layout depending on the cpu type with that the userland has to deal with. Current opcontrol is compatible. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2010-02-26oprofile/x86: remove node check in AMD IBS initializationRobert Richter
Standard AMD systems have the same number of nodes as there are northbridge devices. However, there may kernel configurations (especially for 32 bit) or system setups exist, where the node number is different or it can not be detected properly. Thus the check is not reliable and may fail though IBS setup was fine. For this reason it is better to remove the check.

2009-12-17perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optionalFrederic Weisbecker
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable, which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example. But we have users like perf that only require reliable stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users can tune for their needs.

2009-09-21perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar
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.
