      perf counters: clean up state transitions · 6a930700
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Impact: cleanup
      
      Introduce a proper enum for the 3 states of a counter:
      
      	PERF_COUNTER_STATE_OFF		= -1
      	PERF_COUNTER_STATE_INACTIVE	=  0
      	PERF_COUNTER_STATE_ACTIVE	=  1
      
      and rename counter->active to counter->state and propagate the
      changes everywhere.

      Rename them to better match up the usual IRQ disable/enable APIs:

       hw_perf_restore_ctrl() => hw_perf_restore()

      perf counters: implement PERF_COUNT_CPU_CLOCK · 5c92d124
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Impact: add new perf-counter type
      
      The 'CPU clock' counter counts the amount of CPU clock time that is
      elapsing, in nanoseconds. (regardless of how much of it the task is
      spending on a CPU executing)
      
      This counter type is a Linux kernel based abstraction, it is available
      even if the hardware does not support native hardware performance counters.

      perf counters: hw driver API · 621a01ea
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Impact: restructure code, introduce hw_ops driver abstraction
      
      Introduce this abstraction to handle counter details:
      
       struct hw_perf_counter_ops {
      	void (*hw_perf_counter_enable)	(struct perf_counter *counter);
      	void (*hw_perf_counter_disable)	(struct perf_counter *counter);
      	void (*hw_perf_counter_read)	(struct perf_counter *counter);
       };
      
      This will be useful to support assymetric hw details, and it will also
      be useful to implement "software counters". (Counters that count kernel
      managed sw events such as pagefaults, context-switches, wall-clock time
      or task-local time.)

      perf counters: add support for group counters · 04289bb9
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Impact: add group counters
      
      This patch adds the "counter groups" abstraction.
      
      Groups of counters behave much like normal 'single' counters, with a
      few semantic and behavioral extensions on top of that.
      
      A counter group is created by creating a new counter with the open()
      syscall's group-leader group_fd file descriptor parameter pointing
      to another, already existing counter.
      
      Groups of counters are scheduled in and out in one atomic group, and
      they are also roundrobin-scheduled atomically.
      
      Counters that are member of a group can also record events with an
      (atomic) extended timestamp that extends to all members of the group,
      if the record type is set to PERF_RECORD_GROUP.

      perf counters: restructure the API · 9f66a381
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Impact: clean up new API
      
      Thorough cleanup of the new perf counters API, we now get clean separation
      of the various concepts:
      
       - introduce perf_counter_hw_event to separate out the event source details
      
       - move special type flags into separate attributes: PERF_COUNT_NMI,
         PERF_COUNT_RAW
      
       - extend the type to u64 and reserve it fully to the architecture in the
         raw type case.
      
      And make use of all these changes in the core and x86 perfcounters code.
      
      Also change the syscall signature to:
      
        asmlinkage int sys_perf_counter_open(
      
      	struct perf_counter_hw_event	*hw_event_uptr		__user,
      	pid_t				pid,
      	int				cpu,
      	int				group_fd);
      
      ( Note that group_fd is unused for now - it's reserved for the counter
        groups abstraction. )

      perf counters: protect them against CSTATE transitions · 4ac13294
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Impact: fix rare lost events problem
      
      There are CPUs whose performance counters misbehave on CSTATE transitions,
      so provide a way to just disable/enable them around deep idle methods.
      
      (hw_perf_enable_all() is cheap on x86.)
