      x86: atomic64: Export APIs to modules · 1fde902d
      Ingo Molnar authored
      atomic64_t primitives are used by a handful of drivers,
      so export the APIs consistently. These were inlined
      before.
      
      Also mark atomic64_32.o a core object, so that the symbols
      are available even if not linked to core kernel pieces.

      x86: atomic64: Code atomic(64)_read and atomic(64)_set in C not CPP · 8e049ef0
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Occasionally we get bugs where atomic_read or atomic_set are
      used on atomic64_t variables or vice versa.  These bugs don't
      generate warnings on x86 because atomic_read and atomic_set are
      coded as macros rather than C functions, so we don't get any
      type-checking on their arguments; similarly for atomic64_read
      and atomic64_set in 64-bit kernels.
      
      This converts them to C functions so that the arguments are
      type-checked and bugs like this will get caught more easily. It
      also converts atomic_cmpxchg and atomic_xchg, and
      atomic64_cmpxchg and atomic64_xchg on 64-bit, so we get
      type-checking on their arguments too.
      
      Compiling a typical 64-bit x86 config, this generates no new
      warnings, and the vmlinux text is 86 bytes smaller.

      x86: atomic64: Fix unclean type use in atomic64_xchg() · 199e2378
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Linus noticed that atomic64_xchg() uses atomic_read(), which
      happens to work because atomic_read() is a macro so the
      .counter value gets u64-read on 32-bit too - but this is really
      bogus and serious bugs are waiting to happen.
      
      Fix atomic64_xchg() to use __atomic64_read() instead.

      x86: atomic64: Reduce size of functions · 3ac805d2
      Ingo Molnar authored
      cmpxchg8b is a huge instruction in terms of register footprint,
      we almost never want to inline it, not even within the same
      code module.
      
      GCC 4.3 still messes up for two functions, under-judging the
      true cost of this instruction - so annotate two key functions
      to reduce the bloat:

      x86: atomic64: Improve atomic64_add_return() · 824975ef
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Linus noted (based on Eric Dumazet's numbers) that we would
      probably be better off not trying an atomic_read() in
      atomic64_add_return() but intead intentionally let the first
      cmpxchg8b fail - to get a cache-friendly 'give me ownership
      of this cacheline' transaction. That can then be followed
      by the real cmpxchg8b which sets the value local to the CPU.

      x86: atomic64: Improve atomic64_read() · aacf682f
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Linus noticed that the 32-bit version of atomic64_read() was
      being overly complex with re-reading the value and doing a
      retry loop over that.
      
      Instead we can just rely on cmpxchg8b returning either the new
      value or returning the current value.
      
      We can use any 'old' value, which will be faster as it can be
      loaded via immediates. Using some value that is not equal to
      the real value in memory the instruction gets faster.
      
      This also has the advantage that the CPU could avoid dirtying
      the cacheline.

      x86: atomic64: Move the 32-bit atomic64_t implementation to a .c file · b7882b7c
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Linus noted that the atomic64_t primitives are all inlines
      currently which is crazy because these functions have a large
      register footprint anyway.
      
      Move them to a separate file: arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c
      
      Also, while at it, rename all uses of 'unsigned long long' to
      the much shorter u64.
      
      This makes the appearance of the prototypes a lot nicer - and
      it also uncovered a few bugs where (yet unused) API variants
      had 'long' as their return type instead of u64.
      
      [ More intrusive changes are not yet done in this patch. ]

      x86: atomic64: The atomic64_t data type should be 8 bytes aligned on 32-bit too · bbf2a330
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Locked instructions on two cache lines at once are painful. If
      atomic64_t uses two cache lines, my test program is 10x slower.
      
      The chance for that is significant: 4/32 or 12.5%.
      
      Make sure an atomic64_t is 8 bytes aligned.

      perf_counter tools: Provide helper to print percents color · 1e11fd82
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Among perf annotate, perf report and perf top, we can find the
      common colored printing of percents according to the following
      rules:
      
          High overhead =  > 5%, colored in red
          Mid overhead =  > 0.5%, colored in green
          Low overhead =  < 0.5%, default color
      
      Factorize these multiple checks in a single function named
      percent_color_fprintf() and also provide a get_percent_color()
      for sites which print percentages and other things at the same
      time.

      perf_counter tools: Set the minimum percent for callchains to be displayed · c20ab37e
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Callchains output may become a burden on a trace because even
      rarely hit site are exposed. This can be too much information.

      [...]
      
      The command line has then changed.
      
      By providing the -c option, the callchain will output in the
      flat mode by default.
      
      But you can override it:
      
          perf report -c graph
      
      or
      
          perf report -c flat
      
      You can also pass the abreviated mode:
      
          perf report -c g
      
      or
      
          perf report -c gra
      
      will both make use of the graph mode.

      perf_counter tools: Add new OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT option · 5a4b1817
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      There is no predefined macro to create an option that can have
      a custom value or a default one if none is given.
      
      This patch provides a new helper OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() which
      defines such kind of option.
      
      For example, considering an option -c, we want to get the
      default value in the following cases:
      
          perf command -c -d
          perf command -d -c
      
      And the foo value when it's given:
      
          perf command -c foo -d
          perf command -d -c foo
      
      That's also why PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT is extended here to
      support default values whatever the position of the option, not
      only in the end.
      
      Should it now be renamed to PARSE_OPT_ARG_DEFAULT ?

      perf_counter tools: Create new chain_for_each_child() iterator · 14f4654c
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Iterating through children of a node in the callchain tree
      shows something that may be quite confusing at a first glance.
      The head is the children field of the parent and the list nodes
      are in the brothers field of the children.
      
      This is because the childs are linked to the parent as a list
      of "brothers" using the "children" list of the parent as a
      head:
      
        ---------------
       | Parent (head) |-------------------------------------
        ---------------                                      |
           |                                                 |
        children                                             |
           |                                                 |
        -----------               -----------                |
       | 1st child |---brother---| 2nd child |---brother-----
        -----------               -----------
      
      This makes the following strange pattern often occuring:
      
       list_for_each_entry(child, &parent->children, brothers) {
              // do something with children
       }
      
      Abstract it to chain_for_each_child() to factorize and simplify
      this pattern.

      perf_counter tools: Share list.h with the kernel · 5da50258
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The copy we were using came from another copy I did for the dwarves
      (pahole) package, that came from the kernel years ago.
      
      The only function that is used by the perf tools and that isn't in the
      kernel is list_del_range, that I'm leaving in the perf tools only for
      now.

      perf_counter tools: Share rbtree.with the kernel · 43cbcd8a
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The tools/perf/util/rbtree.c copy already drifted by three
      csets:
      
       4b324126
       4c601178
       16c047ad
      
      So remove the copy and use the lib/rbtree.c directly, sharing
      the source code while still generating a separate object file,
      since tools/perf uses a far more agressive -O6 switch.

      perf_counter tools: Rework event string parsing/syntax · 61c45981
      Paul Mackerras authored
      This reworks the parser for event descriptors to make it more
      consistent in what it accepts.  It is now structured as a
      recursive descent parser for the following grammar:
      
      events		::= event ( ("," | space) space* event )*
      event		::= ( raw_event | numeric_event | symbolic_event |
      		      generic_hw_event ) [ event_modifier ]
      raw_event	::= "r" hex_number
      numeric_event	::= number ":" number
      number		::= decimal_number | "0x" hex_number | "0" octal_number
      symbolic_event	::= string_from_event_symbols_array
      generic_hw_event::= cache_type ( "-" ( cache_op | cache_result ) )*
      event_modifier	::= ":" ( "u" | "k" | "h" )+
      
      with the extra restriction that you can have at most one
      cache_op and at most one cache_result.
      
      We pass the current string pointer by reference (i.e. as a
      const char **) to the various parsing functions so that they
      can advance the pointer to indicate how much they consumed.
      They return 0 if they didn't recognize the thing at the pointer
      or 1 if they did (and advance the pointer past it).
      
      This also fixes parse_aliases to take the longest matching
      alias from the table, not the first one.  Otherwise "l1-data"
      would match the "l1-d" alias and the "ata" would not be
      consumed.
      
      This allows event modifiers indicating what processor modes to
      count in to be applied to any event, not just numeric events,
      and adds a ":h" modifier to indicate counting in hypervisor
      mode.  Specifying ":u" now sets both exclude_kernel and
      exclude_hv, and so on.  Multiple modes can be specified, e.g.
      ":uk" will count in user or hypervisor mode (i.e. only
      exclude_kernel will be set).

      perf_counter tools: Various fixes for callchains · deac911c
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      The symbol resolving has of course revealed some bugs in the
      callchain tree handling. This patch fixes some of them,
      including:
      
      - inherit the children from the parents while splitting a node
      - fix list range moving
      - fix indexes setting in callchains
      - create a child on the current node if the path doesn't match in
        the existent children (was only done on the root)
      - compare using symbols when possible so that we can match a function
        using any ip inside by referring to its start address.
      
      The practical effects are:
      
      - remove double callchains
      - fix upside down or any random order of callchains
      - fix wrong paths
      - fix bad hits and percentage accounts

      Frederic Weisbecker authored

      during its allocation. We are using the wrong structure size.
