/*
powerpc/perf: e500 support This implements perf_event support for the Freescale embedded performance monitor, based on the existing perf_event.c that supports server/classic chips. Some limitations: - Performance monitor interrupts are regular EE interrupts, and thus you can't profile places with interrupts disabled. We may want to implement soft IRQ-disabling, with perfmon interrupts exempted and treated as NMIs. - When trying to schedule multiple event groups at once, and using restricted events, situations could arise where scheduling fails even though it would be possible. Consider three groups, each with two events. One group has restricted events, the others don't. The two non-restricted groups are scheduled, then one is removed, which happens to occupy the two counters that can't do restricted events. The remaining non-restricted group will not be moved to the non-restricted-capable counters to make room if the restricted group tries to be scheduled.

* For now this is a compile-time decision, but eventually it should be
* runtime. This would allow multiplatform perf event support for e300 (fsl
* embedded perf counters) plus server/classic, and would accommodate
* devices other than the core which provide their own performance counters.

perf_counter: powerpc: Change how processor-specific back-ends get selected 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: Enable use of software counters on 32-bit powerpc 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.

perf: Drop the skip argument from perf_arch_fetch_regs_caller Drop this argument now that we always want to rewind only to the state of the first caller. It means frame pointers are not necessary anymore to reliably get the source of an event. But this also means we need this helper to be a macro now, as an inline function is not an option since we need to know when to provide a default implentation.
