2009-09-21perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar
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. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

2009-07-20x86/oprofile: Modify initialization of num_virt_countersRobert Richter
Models that do not yet support counter multiplexing have to setup num_virt_counters. This patch implements the setup from num_counters if num_virt_counters is not set. Thus, num_virt_counters must be setup only for multiplexing support. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-07-20x86/oprofile: Remove unused num_virt_controls from struct op_x86_model_specRobert Richter

2009-07-20x86/oprofile: Use per_cpu() instead of __get_cpu_var()Robert Richter
__get_cpu_var() calls smp_processor_id(). When the cpu id is already known, instead use per_cpu() to avoid generating the id again. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-07-20x86/oprofile: Fix usage of NUM_CONTROLS/NUM_COUNTERS macrosRobert Richter
Use the corresponding macros when iterating over counter and control registers. Since NUM_CONTROLS and NUM_COUNTERS are equal for AMD cpus the fix is more a cosmetical change. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-07-20oprofile: Implement performance counter multiplexingJason Yeh
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.

2009-07-14x86/oprofile: Fix cast of counter valueRobert Richter
When casting the counter value to a 64 bit value in 32 bit mode, sign extension may lead to broken counter values. This patch fixes this by casting to (u64) instead of (s64). Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

2009-06-11x86/oprofile: introduce oprofile_add_data64()Robert Richter
The IBS implemention writes 64 bit register values to the cpu buffer by writing two 32 values using oprofile_add_data(). This patch introduces oprofile_add_data64() to write a single 64 bit value to the buffer. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-06-11x86/oprofile: use 64 bit values in IBS functionsRobert Richter
The IBS code internally uses 32 bit values (a low and a high value) to represent a 64 bit value. This patch changes this and now 64 bit values are used instead. 64 bit MSR functions can be used now. No functional changes. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

2009-06-11x86/oprofile: replace CTR_OVERFLOWED macrosRobert Richter
The patch replaces all CTR_OVERFLOWED macros. 64 bit MSR functions and 64 bit counter values are used now. Thus, it will be easier to later extend the models to use more than 32 bit width counters. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-06-11x86/oprofile: replace macros to calculate control registerRobert Richter
This patch introduces op_x86_get_ctrl() to calculate the value of the performance control register. This is generic code usable for all models. The event and reserved masks are model specific and stored in struct op_x86_model_spec. 64 bit MSR functions are used now. The patch removes many hard to read macros used for ctrl calculation. The function op_x86_get_ctrl() is common code and the first step to further merge performance counter implementations for x86 models. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-06-11x86/oprofile: pass the model to setup_ctrs() functionsRobert Richter
