      perf_counter: powerpc: Use new identifier names in powerpc-specific code · 1b58c251
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Commit b23f3325 ("perf_counter: Rename various fields") fixed up
      most of the uses of the renamed fields, but missed one instance
      of "record_type" in powerpc-specific code which needs to be changed
      to "sample_type", and a "PERF_RECORD_ADDR" in the same statement that
      needs to be changed to "PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR", causing compilation
      errors on powerpc.  This fixes it.

      perf top: Reduce default filter threshold · 6e53cdf1
      Ingo Molnar authored
      On idle systems 'perf top' comes up empty by default, because the event
      count filter is set to 100.
      
      Reduce it to 5 instead.
      
      Also add an option to limit the number of functions displayed.

      Ingo Molnar authored
      Throttling logic is broken and we can lock up with too small
      hw sampling intervals.
      
      Make the throttling code more robust: disable counters even
      if we already disabled them.
      
      ( Also clean up whitespace damage i noticed while reading
        various pieces of code related to throttling. )

      perf report: Fix comm sorting · 8229289b
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Since we can (and do) change comm strings during the collection
      phase, we cannot actually sort on them to build the histogram.
      Therefore add an (optional) third sorting phase to collapse the
      histrogram.
      
      Comm sorting now builds the histrogram on threads and then in
      the collapse phase collects all threads with the same comm.
      
      This collapsed histogram is then reversed and sorted on events.

      perf_counter: powerpc: Fix race causing "oops trying to read PMC0" errors · dcd945e0
      Paul Mackerras authored
      When using interrupting counters and limited (non-interrupting)
      counters at the same time, it's possible that we get an
      interrupt in write_mmcr0() after writing MMCR0 but before we
      have set up the counters using limited PMCs.  What happens then
      is that we get into perf_counter_interrupt() with
      counter->hw.idx = 0 for the limited counters, leading to the
      "oops trying to read PMC0" error message being printed.
      
      This fixes the problem by making perf_counter_interrupt()
      robust against counter->hw.idx being zero (the counter is just
      ignored in that case) and also by changing write_mmcr0() to
      write MMCR0 initially with the counter overflow interrupt
      enable bits masked (set to 0).  If the MMCR0 value requested by

      limited counters properly.

      perf_counter: powerpc: Fix event alternative code generation on POWER5/5+ · 6984efb6
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Commit ef923214 ("perf_counter: powerpc: use u64 for event
      codes internally") introduced a bug where the return value from
      function find_alternative_bdecode gets put into a u64 variable
      and later tested to see if it is < 0.  The effect is that we
      get extra, bogus event code alternatives on POWER5 and POWER5+,
      leading to error messages such as "oops compute_mmcr failed"
      being printed and counters not counting properly.
      
      This fixes it by using s64 for the return type of
      find_alternative_bdecode and for the local variable that the
      caller puts the value in.  It also makes the event argument a
      u64 on POWER5+ for consistency.
