      x86: perf_event_intel_bts.c: use arch_initcall to hook in enabling · ca41d24c
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      This was using module_init, but the current Kconfig situation is
      as follows:
      
      In arch/x86/kernel/cpu/Makefile:
      
        obj-$(CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL)    += perf_event_intel_pt.o perf_event_intel_bts.o
      
      and in arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu:
      
        config CPU_SUP_INTEL
              default y
              bool "Support Intel processors" if PROCESSOR_SELECT
      
      So currently, the end user can not build this code into a module.
      If in the future, there is desire for this to be modular, then
      it can be changed to include <linux/module.h> and use module_init.
      
      But currently, in the non-modular case, a module_init becomes a
      device_initcall.  But this really isn't a device, so we should
      choose a more appropriate initcall bucket to put it in.
      
      The obvious choice here seems to be arch_initcall, but that does
      make it earlier than it was currently through device_initcall.
      As long as perf_pmu_register() is functional, we should be OK.

      perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix the 32-bit build · 2e54a5bd
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      On a 32-bit build I got:
      
        arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel_pt.c:413:5: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
        arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel_bts.c:162:24: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
      
      Fix it. The code should probably be (re-)tested on 32-bit systems to make
      sure all is fine.

      perf/x86/intel/bts: Add BTS PMU driver · 8062382c
      Alexander Shishkin 提交于
      Add support for Branch Trace Store (BTS) via kernel perf event infrastructure.
      The difference with the existing implementation of BTS support is that this
      one is a separate PMU that exports events' trace buffers to userspace by means
      of AUX area of the perf buffer, which is zero-copy mapped into userspace.
      
      The immediate benefit is that the buffer size can be much bigger, resulting in
      fewer interrupts and no kernel side copying is involved and little to no trace
      data loss. Also, kernel code can be traced with this driver.
      
      The old way of collecting BTS traces still works.
