      oprofile, s390: Add event interface to the System z hardware sampling module · dd3c4670
      Andreas Krebbel 提交于
      With this patch the OProfile Basic Mode Sampling support for System z
      is enhanced with a counter file system.  That way hardware sampling
      can be configured using the user space tools with only little
      modifications.
      
      With the patch by default new cpu_types (s390/z10, s390/z196) are
      returned in order to indicate that we are running a CPU which provides
      the hardware sampling facility.  Existing user space tools will
      complain about an unknown cpu type. In order to be compatible with
      existing user space tools the `cpu_type' module parameter has been
      added.  Setting the parameter to `timer' will force the module to
      return `timer' as cpu_type.  The module will still try to use hardware
      sampling if available and the hwsampling virtual filesystem will be
      also be available for configuration.  So this has a different effect
      than using the generic oprofile module parameter `timer=1'.
      
      If the basic mode sampling is enabled on the machine and the
      cpu_type=timer parameter is not used the kernel module will provide
      the following virtual filesystem:
      
      /dev/oprofile/0/enabled
      /dev/oprofile/0/event
      /dev/oprofile/0/count
      /dev/oprofile/0/unit_mask
      /dev/oprofile/0/kernel
      /dev/oprofile/0/user
      
      In the counter file system only the values of 'enabled', 'count',
      'kernel', and 'user' are evaluated by the kernel module. Everything
      else must contain fixed values.
      
      The 'event' value only supports a single event - HWSAMPLING with value
      0.
      
      The 'count' value specifies the hardware sampling rate as it is passed
      to the CPU measurement facility.
      
      The 'kernel' and 'user' flags can now be used to filter for samples
      when using hardware sampling.
      
      Additionally also the following file will be created:
      /dev/oprofile/timer/enabled
      
      This will always be the inverted value of /dev/oprofile/0/enabled. 0
      is not accepted without hardware sampling.

      oprofile, s390: Rework hwsampler implementation · a0d76247
      Robert Richter 提交于
      This patch is a rework of the hwsampler oprofile implementation that
      has been applied recently. Now there are less non-architectural
      changes. The only changes are:
      
      * introduction of oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample(), and
      * removal of section attributes of oprofile_timer_init/_exit().
      
      To setup hwsampler for oprofile we need to modify start()/stop()
      callbacks and additional hwsampler control files in oprofilefs. We do
      not reinitialize the timer or hwsampler mode by restarting calling
      init/exit() anymore, instead hwsampler_running is used to switch the
      mode directly in oprofile_hwsampler_start/_stop(). For locking reasons
      there is also hwsampler_file that reflects the value in oprofilefs.
      
      The overall diffstat of the oprofile s390 hwsampler implemenation
      shows the low impact to non-architectural code:

      oprofile, s390: Enhance OProfile to support System zs hardware sampling feature · 997dbb49
      Heinz Graalfs 提交于
      OProfile is enhanced to export all files for controlling System z's
      hardware sampling, and to invoke hwsampler exported functions to
      initialize and use System z's hardware sampling.
      
      The patch invokes hwsampler_setup() during oprofile init and exports
      following hwsampler files under oprofilefs if hwsampler's setup
      succeeded:
      
      A new directory for hardware sampling based files
      
       /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/
      
      The userland daemon must explicitly write to the following files
      to disable (or enable) hardware based sampling
      
       /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hwsampler
      
      to modify the actual sampling rate
      
       /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_interval
      
      to modify the amount of sampling memory (measured in 4K pages)
      
       /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_sdbt_blocks
      
      The following files are read only and show
      the possible minimum sampling rate
      
       /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_min_interval
      
      the possible maximum sampling rate
      
       /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_max_interval
      
      The patch splits the oprofile_timer_[init/exit] function so that it
      can be also called through user context (oprofilefs) to avoid kernel
      oops.

      oprofile, s390: Add support for hardware based sampling on System z processors · ec6a3df1
      Heinz Graalfs 提交于
      This adds support for hardware based sampling on System z processors
      (models z10 and up).
      
      System z's hardware sampling is described in detail in:
      
         SA23-2260-01 "The Load-Program-Parameter and CPU-Measurement Facilities"
      
      The patch introduces
      
       - support for System z's hardware sampler in OProfile's kernel module
       - it adds functions that control all hardware sampling related
         operations as:
         - checking if hardware sampling feature is available, i.e.: on
           System z models z10 and up, in LPAR mode only, and authorised
           during LPAR activation
         - allocating memory for the hardware sampling feature
         - starting/stopping hardware sampling
      
      All functions required to start and stop hardware sampling have to be
      invoked by the oprofile kernel module as provided by the other patches
      of this patch set.
      
      In case hardware based sampling cannot be setup standard timer based
      sampling is used by OProfile.
      
      Applied with following changes:

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
