      perf_event: Provide vmalloc() based mmap() backing · 906010b2
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically
      everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache
      aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps.
      
      These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this.
      
      However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has
      the downsides of being more restricted and slower than regular
      allocations.

      BUILD_BUG_ON(): fix it and a couple of bogus uses of it · 8c87df45
      Jan Beulich 提交于
      gcc permitting variable length arrays makes the current construct used for
      BUILD_BUG_ON() useless, as that doesn't produce any diagnostic if the
      controlling expression isn't really constant.  Instead, this patch makes
      it so that a bit field gets used here.  Consequently, those uses where the
      condition isn't really constant now also need fixing.
      
      Note that in the gfp.h, kmemcheck.h, and virtio_config.h cases
      MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON() really just serves documentation purposes - even if
      the expression is compile time constant (__builtin_constant_p() yields
      true), the array is still deemed of variable length by gcc, and hence the
      whole expression doesn't have the intended effect.

      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. )

      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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

      This adjusts arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c to correspond with the

      arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0 · 51b563fc
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:
      
          Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
          This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
          This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
          build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
          or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)
      
      Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
      pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
      arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.
      
      This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
      it is used.
      
      Notes for the different architectures touched:
      
      arm - we use an already exported symbol
      cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
             [Not build tested]
      mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
             Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
             the linker script.
             [Not build tested]
      powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
                [not build tested]
      sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
      um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
      xtensa - added options to CPP invocation

      sparc: Kill PROM console driver. · 09d3f3f0
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
      days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
      in any situation.
      
      Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
      bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.
      
      If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
      depending upon this crutch to save us.  We've been able to take care
      of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
      so there are no excuses.

      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.
