2011-07-05ARM: 6989/1: perf: do not start the PMU when no events are presentWill Deacon
armpmu_enable can be called in situations where no events are present (for example, from the event rotation tick after a profiled task has exited). In this case, we currently start the PMU anyway which may leave it active inevitably without any events being monitored. This patch adds a simple check to the enabling code so that we avoid starting the PMU when no events are present.

2011-06-29ARM: 6974/1: pmu: refactor reservationMark Rutland
Currently, PMU platform_device reservation relies on some minor abuse of the platform_device::id field for determining the type of PMU. This is problematic for device tree based probing, where the ID cannot be controlled. This patch removes reliance on the id field, and depends on each PMU's platform driver to figure out which type it is. As all PMUs handled by the current platform_driver name "arm-pmu" are CPU PMUs, this convention is hardcoded. New PMU types can be supported through the use of {of,platform}_device_id tables Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Acked-by: Jamie Iles <jamie@jamieiles.com> Acked-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2011-05-20ARM: 6902/1: perf: Remove erroneous check on active_eventsMark Rutland
When initialising a PMU, there is a check to protect against races with other CPUs filling all of the available event slots. Since armpmu_add checks that an event can be scheduled, we do not need to do this at initialisation time. Furthermore the current code is broken because it assumes that atomic_inc_not_zero will unconditionally increment active_counts and then tries to decrement it again on failure. This patch removes the broken, redundant code.

The ARM user backtrace code can get into an infinite loop if it runs into an invalid stack frame which points back to itself. This situation has been observed in practice.

2011-04-10ARM: 6865/1: perf: ensure pass through zero is counted on overflowWill Deacon
Commit a737823d ("ARM: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due to IRQ latency") changed the way that event deltas are calculated on overflow so that we don't miss events when the new count value overtakes the previous one. Unfortunately, we forget to count the event that passes through zero so we end up being off by 1. This patch adds on the correction.

2011-03-26ARM: 6835/1: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due to IRQ latencyWill Deacon
If a counter overflows during a perf stat profiling run it may overtake the last known value of the counter: 0 prev new 0xffffffff |----------|-------|----------------------| In this case, the number of events that have occurred is (0xffffffff - prev) + new. Unfortunately, the event update code will not realise an overflow has occurred and will instead report the event delta as (new - prev) which may be considerably smaller than the real count. This patch adds an extra argument to armpmu_event_update which indicates whether or not an overflow has occurred. If an overflow has occurred then we use the maximum period of the counter to calculate the elapsed events.

2011-03-26ARM: 6834/1: perf: reset counters on all CPUs during initialisationWill Deacon
ARMv7 dictates that the interrupt-enable and count-enable registers for each PMU counter are UNKNOWN following core reset. This patch adds a new (optional) function pointer to struct arm_pmu for resetting the PMU state during init. The reset function is called on each CPU via an arch_initcall in the generic ARM perf_event code and allows the PMU backend to write sane values to any UNKNOWN registers.

For kernels built with PREEMPT_RT, critical sections protected by standard spinlocks are preemptible. This is not acceptable on perf as (a) we may be scheduled onto a different CPU whilst reading/writing banked PMU registers and (b) the latency when reading the PMU registers becomes unpredictable.

2010-11-26perf, arch: Cleanup perf-pmu init vs lockup-detectorPeter Zijlstra
The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot, some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall). The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall() and expects the hardware pmu to be present. Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit initcall right after that.

This patch follows the example of x86 and splits the PMU implementations into separate files which are then #included back into the main file.

2010-10-18irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacksPeter Zijlstra
Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers. Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also benefit. The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately. Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in processing the work.

2010-09-09perf: Rework the PMU methodsPeter Zijlstra
Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument. The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with the generic stopped state. This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain code paths (like IRQ handlers). It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters). The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on how the architecture implemented the throttled state: 1) We disable the counter: a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: paulus <paulus@samba.org> Cc: stephane eranian <eranian@googlemail.com> Cc: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Cc: Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Deng-Cheng Zhu <dengcheng.zhu@gmail.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Drop the TASK_RUNNING test on user tasks for callchains as this check doesn't seem to make any sense. Also remove the tests for !current that is not supposed to happen and current->pid as this should be handled at the generic level, with exclude_idle attribute.

2010-07-04ARM: 6205/1: perf: ensure counter delta is treated as unsignedWill Deacon
Hardware performance counters on ARM are 32-bits wide but atomic64_t variables are used to represent counter data in the hw_perf_event structure. The armpmu_event_update function right-shifts a signed 64-bit delta variable and adds the result to the event count. This can lead to shifting in sign-bits if the MSB of the 32-bit counter value is set. This results in perf output such as: Performance counter stats for 'sleep 20': 18446744073460670464 cycles <-- 0xFFFFFFFFF12A6000 7783773 instructions # 0.000 IPC 465 context-switches 161 page-faults 1172393 branches 20.154242147 seconds time elapsed This patch ensures that the delta value is treated as unsigned so that the right shift sets the upper bits to zero.

2010-06-09perf: Convert perf_event to local_tPeter Zijlstra
Since now all modification to event->count (and ->prev_count and ->period_left) are local to a cpu, change then to local64_t so we avoid the LOCK'ed ops. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2010-05-17ARM: 6071/1: perf-events: allow modules to query the number of hardware countersWill Deacon
For OProfile to initialise oprofilefs correctly, it needs to know the number of counters it can represent. This patch adds a function to the ARM perf-events backend to return the number of hardware counters available for the current PMU.

2010-05-17ARM: 6070/1: perf-events: add support for xscale PMUsWill Deacon
The perf-events framework for ARM only supports v6 and v7 cores. This patch adds support for xscale v1 and v2 PMUs to perf, based on the OProfile drivers in arch/arm/oprofile/op_model_xscale.c Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-05-17ARM: 6069/1: perf-events: use numeric ID to identify PMUWill Deacon
The ARM perf-events framework provides support for a number of different PMUs using struct arm_pmu. The char *name field of this struct can be used to identify the PMU, but this is cumbersome if used outside of perf. This patch replaces the name string for a PMU with an enum, which holds a unique ID for the PMU being represented. This ID can be used to index an array of names within perf, so no functionality is lost. The presence of the ID field, allows other kernel subsystems [currently oprofile] to use their own mappings for the PMU name.
