      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. )

      linker script: unify usage of discard definition · 023bf6f1
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
      considerable differences.  This led to linker script for each arch
      implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
      tedious and adding new entries error-prone.
      
      This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
      end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro.  As ld
      uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
      discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.
      
      ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
      subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
      image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.
      
      defconfig compile tested for x86, x86-64, powerpc, powerpc64, ia64,
      alpha, sparc, sparc64 and s390.  Michal Simek tested microblaze.

      linker script: throw away .discard section · 405d967d
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      x86 throws away .discard section but no other archs do.  Also,
      .discard is not thrown away while linking modules.  Make every arch
      and module linking throw it away.  This will be used to define dummy
      variables for percpu declarations and definitions.
      
      This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

      PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures · 27ac792c
      Andrea Righi 提交于
      On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
      boundary. For example:
      
      	u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
      
      always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
      
      The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
      example):
      
      #define PAGE_SHIFT      12
      #define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
      #define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
      ...
      #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr)       (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
      
      The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
      PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
      Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
      typeof(addr) for the mask.
      
      Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
      include/linux/mm.h.

      PCI: remove unused arch pcibios_update_resource() functions · 0aea5313
      Adrian Bunk 提交于
      Russell King did the following back in 2003:
      
      <--  snip  -->
      
          [PCI] pci-9: Kill per-architecture pcibios_update_resource()
      
          Kill pcibios_update_resource(), replacing it with pci_update_resource().
          pci_update_resource() uses pcibios_resource_to_bus() to convert a
          resource to a device BAR - the transformation should be exactly the
          same as the transformation used for the PCI bridges.
      
          pci_update_resource "knows" about 64-bit BARs, but doesn't attempt to
          set the high 32-bits to anything non-zero - currently no architecture
          attempts to do something different.  If anyone cares, please fix; I'm
          going to reflect current behaviour for the time being.
      
          Ivan pointed out the following architectures need to examine their
          pcibios_update_resource() implementation - they should make sure that
          this new implementation does the right thing.  #warning's have been
          added where appropriate.
      
              ia64
              mips
              mips64
      
          This cset also includes a fix for the problem reported by AKPM where
          64-bit arch compilers complain about the resource mask being placed
          in a u32.
      
      <--  snip  -->
      
      This patch removes the unused pcibios_update_resource() functions the
      kernel gained since, from FRV, m68k, mips & sh architectures.
