      ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL bit masks are often used in the kernel. This
      patch adds macros for the bit masks and removes local defines. The
      function intel_pmu_raw_event() becomes x86_pmu_raw_event() which is

      perf, x86: Implement initial P4 PMU driver · a072738e
      Cyrill Gorcunov 提交于
      The netburst PMU is way different from the "architectural
      perfomance monitoring" specification that current CPUs use.
      P4 uses a tuple of ESCR+CCCR+COUNTER MSR registers to handle
      perfomance monitoring events.
      
      A few implementational details:
      
      1) We need a separate x86_pmu::hw_config helper in struct
         x86_pmu since register bit-fields are quite different from P6,
         Core and later cpu series.
      
      2) For the same reason is a x86_pmu::schedule_events helper
         introduced.
      
      3) hw_perf_event::config consists of packed ESCR+CCCR values.
         It's allowed since in reality both registers only use a half
         of their size. Of course before making a real write into a
         particular MSR we need to unpack the value and extend it to
         a proper size.
      
      4) The tuple of packed ESCR+CCCR in hw_perf_event::config
         doesn't describe the memory address of ESCR MSR register
         so that we need to keep a mapping between these tuples
         used and available ESCR (various P4 events may use same
         ESCRs but not simultaneously), for this sake every active
         event has a per-cpu map of hw_perf_event::idx <--> ESCR
         addresses.
      
      5) Since hw_perf_event::idx is an offset to counter/control register
         we need to lift X86_PMC_MAX_GENERIC up, otherwise kernel
         strips it down to 8 registers and event armed may never be turned
         off (ie the bit in active_mask is set but the loop never reaches
         this index to check), thanks to Peter Zijlstra
      
      Restrictions:
      
       - No cascaded counters support (do we ever need them?)
       - No dependent events support (so PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
         doesn't work for now)
       - There are events with same counters which can't work simultaneously
         (need to use intersected ones due to broken counter 1)
       - No PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_ events yet
      
      Todo:
      
       - Implement dependent events
       - Need proper hashing for event opcodes (no linear search, good for
         debugging stage but not in real loads)
       - Some events counted during a clock cycle -- need to set threshold
         for them and count every clock cycle just to get summary statistics
         (ie to behave the same way as other PMUs do)
       - Need to swicth to use event_constraints
       - To support RAW events we need to encode a global list of P4 events
         into p4_templates
       - Cache events need to be added
      
      Event support status matrix:
      
       Event			status
       -----------------------------
       cycles			works
       cache-references	works
       cache-misses		works
       branch-misses		works
       bus-cycles		partially (does not work on 64bit cpu with HT enabled)
       instruction		doesnt work (needs dependent event [mop tagging])

      perf, x86: use LBR for PEBS IP+1 fixup · ef21f683
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Use the LBR to fix up the PEBS IP+1 issue.
      
      As said, PEBS reports the next instruction, here we use the LBR to find
      the last branch and from that construct the actual IP. If the IP matches
      the LBR-TO, we use LBR-FROM, otherwise we use the LBR-TO address as the
      beginning of the last basic block and decode forward.
      
      Once we find a match to the current IP, we use the previous location.
      
      This patch introduces a new ABI element: PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT, which
      conveys that the reported IP (PERF_SAMPLE_IP) is the exact instruction
      that caused the event (barring CPU errata).
      
      The fixup can fail due to various reasons:
      
       1) LBR contains invalid data (quite possible)
       2) part of the basic block got paged out
       3) the reported IP isn't part of the basic block (see 1)

      perf_events, x86: Improve x86 event scheduling · 1da53e02
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU
      registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group.
      
      The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each
      event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e.,
      works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any
      counter.
      
      Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via
      this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic.
      
      The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling
      algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open().
      
      The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running
      the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual
      assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is
      implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      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. )

      perf_counter: Make set_perf_counter_pending() declaration common · 9974458e
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      At present, every architecture that supports perf_counters has to
      declare set_perf_counter_pending() in its arch-specific headers.
      This consolidates the declarations into a single declaration in one
      common place, include/linux/perf_counter.h.  On powerpc, we continue
      to provide a static inline definition of set_perf_counter_pending()
      in the powerpc hw_irq.h.
      
      Also, this removes from the x86 perf_counter.h the unused null
      definitions of {test,clear}_perf_counter_pending.

      perf_counter: unify and fix delayed counter wakeup · 925d519a
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work
      for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on
      them.
      
      This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this
      issue.
      
      Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based
      single link list implementation to track counters that have pending
      wakeups.
      
      [ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we
        cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the
        perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the
        network wakeups. ]
      
      Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its
      quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the
      wakeup.
      
      The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be
      sufficient.

      perf_counter: abstract wakeup flag setting in core to fix powerpc build · b6c5a71d
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Impact: build fix for powerpc
      
      Commit bd753921015e7905 ("perf_counter: software counter event
      infrastructure") introduced a use of TIF_PERF_COUNTERS into the core
      perfcounter code.  This breaks the build on powerpc because we use
      a flag in a per-cpu area to signal wakeups on powerpc rather than
      a thread_info flag, because the thread_info flags have to be
      manipulated with atomic operations and are thus slower than per-cpu
      flags.
      
      This fixes the by changing the core to use an abstracted
      set_perf_counter_pending() function, which is defined on x86 to set
      the TIF_PERF_COUNTERS flag and on powerpc to set the per-cpu flag
      (paca->perf_counter_pending).  It changes the previous powerpc
      definition of set_perf_counter_pending to not take an argument and
      adds a clear_perf_counter_pending, so as to simplify the definition
      on x86.
      
      On x86, set_perf_counter_pending() is defined as a macro.  Defining
      it as a static inline in arch/x86/include/asm/perf_counters.h causes
      compile failures because <asm/perf_counters.h> gets included early in
      <linux/sched.h>, and the definitions of set_tsk_thread_flag etc. are
      therefore not available in <asm/perf_counters.h>.  (On powerpc this
      problem is avoided by defining set_perf_counter_pending etc. in
      <asm/hw_irq.h>.)
