      perf_counter: powerpc: Make powerpc perf_counter code safe for 32-bit kernels · 98fb1807
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This abstracts a few things in arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c
that are specific to 64-bit kernels, and provides definitions for
32-bit kernels.  In particular,

* Only 64-bit has MMCRA and the bits in it that give information
  about a PMU interrupt (sampled PR, HV, slot number etc.)
* Only 64-bit has the lppaca and the lppaca->pmcregs_in_use field
* Use of SDAR is confined to 64-bit for now
* Only 64-bit has soft/lazy interrupt disable and therefore
  pseudo-NMIs (interrupts that occur while interrupts are soft-disabled)
* Only 64-bit has PMC7 and PMC8
* Only 64-bit has the MSR_HV bit.

This also fixes the types used in a couple of places, where we were
using long types for things that need to be 64-bit.

      perf_counter: powerpc: Change how processor-specific back-ends get selected · 079b3c56
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      At present, the powerpc generic (processor-independent) perf_counter
code has list of processor back-end modules, and at initialization,
it looks at the PVR (processor version register) and has a switch
statement to select a suitable processor-specific back-end.

This is going to become inconvenient as we add more processor-specific
back-ends, so this inverts the order: now each back-end checks whether
it applies to the current processor, and registers itself if so.
Furthermore, instead of looking at the PVR, back-ends now check the
cur_cpu_spec->oprofile_cpu_type string and match on that.

Lastly, each back-end now specifies a name for itself so the core can
print a nice message when a back-end registers itself.

This doesn't provide any support for unregistering back-ends, but that
wouldn't be hard to do and would allow back-ends to be modules.

      perf_counter: powerpc: Use unsigned long for register and constraint values · 448d64f8
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This changes the powerpc perf_counter back-end to use unsigned long
types for hardware register values and for the value/mask pairs used
in checking whether a given set of events fit within the hardware
constraints.  This is in preparation for adding support for the PMU
on some 32-bit powerpc processors.  On 32-bit processors the hardware
registers are only 32 bits wide, and the PMU structure is generally
simpler, so 32 bits should be ample for expressing the hardware
constraints.  On 64-bit processors, unsigned long is 64 bits wide,
so using unsigned long vs. u64 (unsigned long long) makes no actual
difference.

This makes some other very minor changes: adjusting whitespace to line
things up in initialized structures, and simplifying some code in
hw_perf_disable().

      perf_counter: powerpc: Enable use of software counters on 32-bit powerpc · 105988c0
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This enables the perf_counter subsystem on 32-bit powerpc.  Since we
don't have any support for hardware counters on 32-bit powerpc yet,
only software counters can be used.

Besides selecting HAVE_PERF_COUNTERS for 32-bit powerpc as well as
64-bit, the main thing this does is add an implementation of
set_perf_counter_pending().  This needs to arrange for
perf_counter_do_pending() to be called when interrupts are enabled.
Rather than add code to local_irq_restore as 64-bit does, the 32-bit
set_perf_counter_pending() generates an interrupt by setting the
decrementer to 1 so that a decrementer interrupt will become pending
in 1 or 2 timebase ticks (if a decrementer interrupt isn't already
pending).  When interrupts are enabled, timer_interrupt() will be
called, and some new code in there calls perf_counter_do_pending().
We use a per-cpu array of flags to indicate whether we need to call
perf_counter_do_pending() or not.

This introduces a couple of new Kconfig symbols: PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT,
which is selected by processor families for which we have hardware PMU
support (currently only PPC64), and PPC_PERF_CTRS, which enables the
powerpc-specific perf_counter back-end.

      Add boundary checks for call-chain events. In case of corrupted

      perf report: Tidy up the "--parent <regex>" and "--sort parent" call-chain features · b25bcf2f
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Instead of the ambigious 'call' naming use the much more
specific 'parent' naming:

 - rename --call <regex> to --parent <regex>

 - rename --sort call to --sort parent

 - rename [unmatched] to [other] - to signal that this is not
   an error but the inverse set

Also add pagefaults to the default parent-symbol pattern too,
as it's a 'syscall overhead category' in a sense.
