      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. )

      Commit 5622f295 ("x86, perf_counter, bts: Optimize BTS overflow
      handling") removed the regs field from struct perf_sample_data and
      added a regs parameter to perf_counter_overflow().  This breaks the
      build on powerpc (and Sparc) as reported by Sachin Sant:
      
        arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c: In function 'record_and_restart':
        arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c:1165: error: unknown field 'regs' specified in initializer
      
      This adjusts arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c to correspond with the
      new struct perf_sample_data and perf_counter_overflow().

      Peter pointed out that this is better done via newidle_idx,
      not via LB_BIAS, newidle balancing should look for where
      there is load _now_, not where there was load 2 ticks ago.
      
      Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies
      means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions)
      
      This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.

      sched: Merge select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self() · c88d5910
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like
      cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent
      RT interaction.
      
      To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which
      leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and
      sched_balance_self().
      
      Modify sched_balance_self() to:
      
        - update_shares() when walking up the domain tree,
          (it only called it for the top domain, but it should
           have done this anyway), which allows us to remove
          this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up().
      
        - do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains
          both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for
          WAKE invocations.
      
      Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle().
      
      This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and
      SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE.
      
      SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective.
      
      Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags --
      platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE
      conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional
      feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this
      enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.
