2011-09-13locking, oprofile: Annotate oprofilefs lock as rawThomas Gleixner1-1/+1
The oprofilefs_lock can be taken in atomic context (in profiling interrupts) and therefore cannot cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it. In mainline this change documents the low level nature of the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep and Sparse checking will work as usual.

2011-02-15oprofile, s390: Rework hwsampler implementationRobert Richter1-21/+0
This patch is a rework of the hwsampler oprofile implementation that has been applied recently. Now there are less non-architectural changes. The only changes are: * introduction of oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample(), and * removal of section attributes of oprofile_timer_init/_exit(). To setup hwsampler for oprofile we need to modify start()/stop() callbacks and additional hwsampler control files in oprofilefs. We do not reinitialize the timer or hwsampler mode by restarting calling init/exit() anymore, instead hwsampler_running is used to switch the mode directly in oprofile_hwsampler_start/_stop(). For locking reasons there is also hwsampler_file that reflects the value in oprofilefs. The overall diffstat of the oprofile s390 hwsampler implemenation shows the low impact to non-architectural code: arch/Kconfig | 3 + arch/s390/Kconfig | 1 + arch/s390/oprofile/Makefile | 2 +- arch/s390/oprofile/hwsampler.c | 1256 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/s390/oprofile/hwsampler.h | 113 +++ arch/s390/oprofile/hwsampler_files.c | 162 +++++ arch/s390/oprofile/init.c | 6 +- drivers/oprofile/cpu_buffer.c | 24 +- drivers/oprofile/timer_int.c | 4 +- include/linux/oprofile.h | 7 + 10 files changed, 1567 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) Acked-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2011-02-15oprofile, s390: Enhance OProfile to support System zs hardware sampling featureHeinz Graalfs1-0/+21
OProfile is enhanced to export all files for controlling System z's hardware sampling, and to invoke hwsampler exported functions to initialize and use System z's hardware sampling. The patch invokes hwsampler_setup() during oprofile init and exports following hwsampler files under oprofilefs if hwsampler's setup succeeded: A new directory for hardware sampling based files /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/ The userland daemon must explicitly write to the following files to disable (or enable) hardware based sampling /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hwsampler to modify the actual sampling rate /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_interval to modify the amount of sampling memory (measured in 4K pages) /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_sdbt_blocks The following files are read only and show the possible minimum sampling rate /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_min_interval the possible maximum sampling rate /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_max_interval The patch splits the oprofile_timer_[init/exit] function so that it can be also called through user context (oprofilefs) to avoid kernel oops.

(oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample) This patch introduces a new oprofile sample add function (oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample) that can also take task_struct as an argument, which is used by the hwsampler kernel module when copying hardware samples to OProfile buffers.

2011-01-26ARM: oprofile: Fix backtraces in timer modeAri Kauppi1-0/+9
Always allow backtraces when using oprofile on ARM, even if a PMU isn't present. Restores functionality originally introduced in commit 1b7b56982fdcd9d85effd76f3928cf5d6eb26155 ("oprofile: Always allow backtraces on ARM") by Richard Purdie. It is not that obvious, but there is now only one oprofile_arch_init() function. So the .backtrace callback is available also in timer mode. Implemented by removing code and using stubs for oprofile_perf_{init, exit} provided by <linux/oprofile.h>. This allows cleaning of other architecture specific implementations too.

2010-10-15oprofile: fix linker errorsAnand Gadiyar1-1/+1
Commit e9677b3ce (oprofile, ARM: Use oprofile_arch_exit() to cleanup on failure) caused oprofile_perf_exit to be called in the cleanup path of oprofile_perf_init. The __exit tag for oprofile_perf_exit should therefore be dropped. The same has to be done for exit_driverfs as well, as this function is called from oprofile_perf_exit. Else, we get the following two linker errors. LD .tmp_vmlinux1 `oprofile_perf_exit' referenced in section `.init.text' of arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 LD .tmp_vmlinux1 `exit_driverfs' referenced in section `.text' of arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 Signed-off-by: Anand Gadiyar <gadiyar@ti.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2010-10-11oprofile: Abstract the perf-events backendMatt Fleming1-0/+3
Move the perf-events backend from arch/arm/oprofile into drivers/oprofile so that the code can be shared between architectures. This allows each architecture to maintain only a single copy of the PMU accessor functions instead of one for both perf and OProfile. It also becomes possible for other architectures to delete much of their OProfile code in favour of the common code now available in drivers/oprofile/oprofile_perf.c.

2009-07-20oprofile: Implement performance counter multiplexingJason Yeh1-0/+3
The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters are provided by the hardware. This is realized by switching between events at an user specified time interval. A new file (/dev/oprofile/time_slice) is added for the user to specify the timer interval in ms. If the number of events to profile is higher than the number of hardware counters available, the patch will schedule a work queue that switches the event counter and re-writes the different sets of values into it. The switching mechanism needs to be implemented for each architecture to support multiplexing. This patch only implements AMD CPU support, but multiplexing can be easily extended for other models and architectures. There are follow-on patches that rework parts of this patch.

2008-10-21powerpc/oprofile: Fix mutex locking for cell spu-oprofileCarl Love1-7/+9
The issue is the SPU code is not holding the kernel mutex lock while adding samples to the kernel buffer. This patch creates per SPU buffers to hold the data. Data is added to the buffers from in interrupt context. The data is periodically pushed to the kernel buffer via a new Oprofile function oprofile_put_buff(). The oprofile_put_buff() function is called via a work queue enabling the funtion to acquire the mutex lock. The existing user controls for adjusting the per CPU buffer size is used to control the size of the per SPU buffers. Similarly, overflows of the SPU buffers are reported by incrementing the per CPU buffer stats. This eliminates the need to have architecture specific controls for the per SPU buffers which is not acceptable to the OProfile user tool maintainer. The export of the oprofile add_event_entry() is removed as it is no longer needed given this patch. Note, this patch has not addressed the issue of indexing arrays by the spu number. This still needs to be fixed as the spu numbering is not guarenteed to be 0 to max_num_spus-1.

2007-07-20[CELL] oprofile: add support to OProfile for profiling CELL BE SPUsBob Nelson1-0/+35
From: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com> This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c to add in the SPU profiling capabilities. In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code. Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data structures. Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn). Check pointer returned from kzalloc. Eliminated unnecessary cast. Better error handling and cleanup in the related area. 64-bit unsigned long parameter was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to unsigned long.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
