      oprofile/x86: fix perfctr nmi reservation for mulitplexing · 68dc819c
      由 Robert Richter 提交于 
      Multiple virtual counters share one physical counter. The reservation
of virtual counters fails due to duplicate allocation of the same
counter. The counters are already reserved. Thus, virtual counter
reservation may removed at all. This also makes the code easier.

      oprofile/x86: add comment to counter-in-use warning · 8588d106
      由 Naga Chumbalkar 提交于 
      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.

      oprofile/x86: warn user if a counter is already active · 98a2e73a
      由 Robert Richter 提交于 
      This patch generates a warning if a counter is already active.

Implemented for AMD and P6 models. P4 is not supported.

      oprofile/x86: implement randomization for IBS periodic op counter · ba52078e
      由 Robert Richter 提交于 
      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.

      oprofile/x86: implement lsfr pseudo-random number generator for IBS · f125be14
      由 Suravee Suthikulpanit 提交于 
      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.

      oprofile/x86: implement IBS cpuid feature detection · 64683da6
      由 Robert Richter 提交于 
      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.

      oprofile/x86: remove node check in AMD IBS initialization · 89baaaa9
      由 Robert Richter 提交于 
      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.

permanently.

As a side effect IBS now works also on nosmp configs.

 1155de47 ring-buffer: Make it generally available

already made ring-buffer available without the TRACING option
enabled. This patch removes the TRACING dependency from oprofile.

Fixes also oprofile configuration on ia64.

The patch also applies to the 2.6.32-stable kernel.
