powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer.

powerpc/perf_counter: Make sure PMU gets enabled properly This makes sure that we call the platform-specific ppc_md.enable_pmcs function on each CPU before we try to use the PMU on that CPU. If the CPU goes off-line and then on-line, we need to do the enable_pmcs call again, so we use the hw_perf_counter_setup hook to ensure that. It gets called as each CPU comes online, but it isn't called on the CPU that is coming up, so this adds the CPU number as an argument to it (there were no non-empty instances of hw_perf_counter_setup before). This also arranges to set the pmcregs_in_use field of the lppaca (data structure shared with the hypervisor) on each CPU when we are using the PMU and clear it when we are not. This allows the hypervisor to optimize partition switches by not saving/restoring the PMU registers when we aren't using the PMU. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

perf_counters: allow users to count user, kernel and/or hypervisor events Impact: new perf_counter feature This extends the perf_counter_hw_event struct with bits that specify that events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode should not be counted (i.e. should be excluded), and adds code to program the PMU mode selection bits accordingly on x86 and powerpc. For software counters, we don't currently have the infrastructure to distinguish which mode an event occurs in, so we currently fail the counter initialization if the setting of the hw_event.exclude_* bits would require us to distinguish. Context switches and CPU migrations are currently considered to occur in kernel mode. On x86, this changes the previous policy that only root can count kernel events. Now non-root users can count kernel events or exclude them. Non-root users still can't use NMI events, though. On x86 we don't appear to have any way to control whether hypervisor events are counted or not, so hw_event.exclude_hv is ignored. On powerpc, the selection of whether to count events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode is PMU-wide, not per-counter, so this adds a check that the hw_event.exclude_* settings are the same as other events on the PMU. Counters being added to a group have to have the same settings as the other hardware counters in the group. Counters and groups can only be enabled in hw_perf_group_sched_in or power_perf_enable if they have the same settings as any other counters already on the PMU. If we are not running on a hypervisor, the exclude_hv setting is ignored (by forcing it to 0) since we can't ever get any hypervisor events. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter overflow events This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events, including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified. Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6 field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6) and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier positions. It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR values come from the same instruction. For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not doing instruction sampling. In that case there is no guarantee that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. Otherwise we supply 0.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf_counter: powerpc: Use unsigned long for register and constraint values 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_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list"). This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of contexts: * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is limited, not the events that they count. Hence: MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS limited_event -> limited_counter freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how many hardware counters the machine has. (Renaming this back avoids a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

perf_counter: powerpc: only reserve PMU hardware when we need it Impact: cooperate with oprofile At present, on PowerPC, if you have perf_counters compiled in, oprofile doesn't work. There is code to allow the PMU to be shared between competing subsystems, such as perf_counters and oprofile, but currently the perf_counter subsystem reserves the PMU for itself at boot time, and never releases it. This makes perf_counter play nicely with oprofile. Now we keep a count of how many perf_counter instances are counting hardware events, and reserve the PMU when that count becomes non-zero, and release the PMU when that count becomes zero. This means that it is possible to have perf_counters compiled in and still use oprofile, as long as there are no hardware perf_counters active. This also means that if oprofile is active, sys_perf_counter_open will fail if the hw_event specifies a hardware event. To avoid races with other tasks creating and destroying perf_counters, we use a mutex. We use atomic_inc_not_zero and atomic_add_unless to avoid having to take the mutex unless there is a possibility of the count going between 0 and 1.

The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list"). This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of contexts: * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is limited, not the events that they count. Hence: MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS limited_event -> limited_counter freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how many hardware counters the machine has.

powerpc/perf_counters: Reduce stack usage of power_check_constraints Michael Ellerman reported stack-frame size warnings being produced for power_check_constraints(), which uses an 8*8 array of u64 and two 8*8 arrays of unsigned long, which are currently allocated on the stack, along with some other smaller variables.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

These arrays come to 1.5kB on 64-bit or 1kB on 32-bit, which is a bit too much for the stack. This fixes the problem by putting these arrays in the existing per-cpu cpu_hw_counters struct. This is OK because two of the call sites have interrupts disabled already; for the third call site we use get_cpu_var, which disables preemption, so we know we won't get a context switch while we're in power_check_constraints(). Note that power_check_constraints() can be called during context switch but is not called from interrupts.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf_counters: allow users to count user, kernel and/or hypervisor events Impact: new perf_counter feature This extends the perf_counter_hw_event struct with bits that specify that events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode should not be counted (i.e. should be excluded), and adds code to program the PMU mode selection bits accordingly on x86 and powerpc. For software counters, we don't currently have the infrastructure to distinguish which mode an event occurs in, so we currently fail the counter initialization if the setting of the hw_event.exclude_* bits would require us to distinguish. Context switches and CPU migrations are currently considered to occur in kernel mode. On x86, this changes the previous policy that only root can count kernel events. Now non-root users can count kernel events or exclude them. Non-root users still can't use NMI events, though. On x86 we don't appear to have any way to control whether hypervisor events are counted or not, so hw_event.exclude_hv is ignored. On powerpc, the selection of whether to count events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode is PMU-wide, not per-counter, so this adds a check that the hw_event.exclude_* settings are the same as other events on the PMU. Counters being added to a group have to have the same settings as the other hardware counters in the group. Counters and groups can only be enabled in hw_perf_group_sched_in or power_perf_enable if they have the same settings as any other counters already on the PMU. If we are not running on a hypervisor, the exclude_hv setting is ignored (by forcing it to 0) since we can't ever get any hypervisor events. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf_counters: allow users to count user, kernel and/or hypervisor events Impact: new perf_counter feature This extends the perf_counter_hw_event struct with bits that specify that events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode should not be counted (i.e. should be excluded), and adds code to program the PMU mode selection bits accordingly on x86 and powerpc. For software counters, we don't currently have the infrastructure to distinguish which mode an event occurs in, so we currently fail the counter initialization if the setting of the hw_event.exclude_* bits would require us to distinguish. Context switches and CPU migrations are currently considered to occur in kernel mode. On x86, this changes the previous policy that only root can count kernel events. Now non-root users can count kernel events or exclude them. Non-root users still can't use NMI events, though. On x86 we don't appear to have any way to control whether hypervisor events are counted or not, so hw_event.exclude_hv is ignored. On powerpc, the selection of whether to count events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode is PMU-wide, not per-counter, so this adds a check that the hw_event.exclude_* settings are the same as other events on the PMU. Counters being added to a group have to have the same settings as the other hardware counters in the group. Counters and groups can only be enabled in hw_perf_group_sched_in or power_perf_enable if they have the same settings as any other counters already on the PMU. If we are not running on a hypervisor, the exclude_hv setting is ignored (by forcing it to 0) since we can't ever get any hypervisor events. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf_counters: allow users to count user, kernel and/or hypervisor events Impact: new perf_counter feature This extends the perf_counter_hw_event struct with bits that specify that events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode should not be counted (i.e. should be excluded), and adds code to program the PMU mode selection bits accordingly on x86 and powerpc. For software counters, we don't currently have the infrastructure to distinguish which mode an event occurs in, so we currently fail the counter initialization if the setting of the hw_event.exclude_* bits would require us to distinguish. Context switches and CPU migrations are currently considered to occur in kernel mode. On x86, this changes the previous policy that only root can count kernel events. Now non-root users can count kernel events or exclude them. Non-root users still can't use NMI events, though. On x86 we don't appear to have any way to control whether hypervisor events are counted or not, so hw_event.exclude_hv is ignored. On powerpc, the selection of whether to count events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode is PMU-wide, not per-counter, so this adds a check that the hw_event.exclude_* settings are the same as other events on the PMU. Counters being added to a group have to have the same settings as the other hardware counters in the group. Counters and groups can only be enabled in hw_perf_group_sched_in or power_perf_enable if they have the same settings as any other counters already on the PMU. If we are not running on a hypervisor, the exclude_hv setting is ignored (by forcing it to 0) since we can't ever get any hypervisor events. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area).

This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter overflow events This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events, including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified. Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6 field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6) and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier positions. It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR values come from the same instruction. For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not doing instruction sampling. In that case there is no guarantee that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. Otherwise we supply 0.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list"). This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of contexts: * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is limited, not the events that they count. Hence: MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS limited_event -> limited_counter freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how many hardware counters the machine has. (Renaming this back avoids a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list"). This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of contexts: * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is limited, not the events that they count. Hence: MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS limited_event -> limited_counter freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how many hardware counters the machine has. (Renaming this back avoids a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.)

This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit.

This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

* Write the full MMCR0 including the event overflow interrupt
perf_counter: powerpc: Fix race causing "oops trying to read PMC0" errors 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 the caller has either of those bits set, we write MMCR0 again with the requested value of those bits after setting up the limited counters properly.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer.

perf_counter: powerpc: Use unsigned long for register and constraint values 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().

It gets called as each CPU comes online, but it isn't called on the CPU that is coming up, so this adds the CPU number as an argument to it (there were no non-empty instances of hw_perf_counter_setup before). This also arranges to set the pmcregs_in_use field of the lppaca (data structure shared with the hypervisor) on each CPU when we are using the PMU and clear it when we are not.

powerpc: Fix bug where perf_counters breaks oprofile Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter won't count anything. Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem: - oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca. This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore the PMU config. - The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear when it finishes. - oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs, which does nothing because it has already been called. In particular it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag. This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set the "PMU in use" flag. It makes the perf_counter code call ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller. This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it isn't defined anywhere.

perf_counter: powerpc: set sample enable bit for marked instruction events Impact: enable access to hardware feature POWER processors have the ability to "mark" a subset of the instructions and provide more detailed information on what happens to the marked instructions as they flow through the pipeline. This marking is enabled by the "sample enable" bit in MMCRA, and there are synchronization requirements around setting and clearing the bit. This adds logic to the processor-specific back-ends so that they know which events relate to marked instructions and set the sampling enable bit if any event that we want to put on the PMU is a marked instruction event. It also adds logic to the generic powerpc code to do the necessary synchronization if that bit is set.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf_counter/powerpc: Fix oops on cpus without perf_counter hardware support If we have the powerpc perf_counter backend compiled in, but the cpu we are running on is one where we don't support the PMU, we currently oops in hw_perf_group_sched_in if we try to use any counters, because ppmu is NULL in that case, and we unconditionally dereference ppmu. This fixes the problem by adding a check if ppmu is NULL at the beginning of hw_perf_group_sched_in, and also at the beginning of the other functions that get called from the perf_counter core, i.e. hw_perf_disable, hw_perf_enable, and hw_perf_counter_setup.

powerpc: Fix bug where perf_counters breaks oprofile Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter won't count anything. Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem: - oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca. This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore the PMU config. - The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear when it finishes. - oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs, which does nothing because it has already been called. In particular it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag. This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set the "PMU in use" flag. It makes the perf_counter code call ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller. This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it isn't defined anywhere.

perf_counter: powerpc: set sample enable bit for marked instruction events Impact: enable access to hardware feature POWER processors have the ability to "mark" a subset of the instructions and provide more detailed information on what happens to the marked instructions as they flow through the pipeline. This marking is enabled by the "sample enable" bit in MMCRA, and there are synchronization requirements around setting and clearing the bit. This adds logic to the processor-specific back-ends so that they know which events relate to marked instructions and set the sampling enable bit if any event that we want to put on the PMU is a marked instruction event. It also adds logic to the generic powerpc code to do the necessary synchronization if that bit is set.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

perf_counters: allow users to count user, kernel and/or hypervisor events Impact: new perf_counter feature This extends the perf_counter_hw_event struct with bits that specify that events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode should not be counted (i.e. should be excluded), and adds code to program the PMU mode selection bits accordingly on x86 and powerpc. For software counters, we don't currently have the infrastructure to distinguish which mode an event occurs in, so we currently fail the counter initialization if the setting of the hw_event.exclude_* bits would require us to distinguish. Context switches and CPU migrations are currently considered to occur in kernel mode. On x86, this changes the previous policy that only root can count kernel events. Now non-root users can count kernel events or exclude them. Non-root users still can't use NMI events, though. On x86 we don't appear to have any way to control whether hypervisor events are counted or not, so hw_event.exclude_hv is ignored. On powerpc, the selection of whether to count events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode is PMU-wide, not per-counter, so this adds a check that the hw_event.exclude_* settings are the same as other events on the PMU. Counters being added to a group have to have the same settings as the other hardware counters in the group. Counters and groups can only be enabled in hw_perf_group_sched_in or power_perf_enable if they have the same settings as any other counters already on the PMU. If we are not running on a hypervisor, the exclude_hv setting is ignored (by forcing it to 0) since we can't ever get any hypervisor events. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer.

powerpc: Fix bug where perf_counters breaks oprofile Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter won't count anything. Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem: - oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca. This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore the PMU config. - The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear when it finishes. - oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs, which does nothing because it has already been called. In particular it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag. This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set the "PMU in use" flag. It makes the perf_counter code call ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller. This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it isn't defined anywhere.

perf_counter: powerpc: set sample enable bit for marked instruction events Impact: enable access to hardware feature POWER processors have the ability to "mark" a subset of the instructions and provide more detailed information on what happens to the marked instructions as they flow through the pipeline. This marking is enabled by the "sample enable" bit in MMCRA, and there are synchronization requirements around setting and clearing the bit. This adds logic to the processor-specific back-ends so that they know which events relate to marked instructions and set the sampling enable bit if any event that we want to put on the PMU is a marked instruction event. It also adds logic to the generic powerpc code to do the necessary synchronization if that bit is set.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list"). This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of contexts: * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is limited, not the events that they count. Hence: MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS limited_event -> limited_counter freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how many hardware counters the machine has. (Renaming this back avoids a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list"). This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of contexts: * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is limited, not the events that they count. Hence: MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS limited_event -> limited_counter freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how many hardware counters the machine has. (Renaming this back avoids a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list"). This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of contexts: * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is limited, not the events that they count. Hence: MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS limited_event -> limited_counter freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how many hardware counters the machine has. (Renaming this back avoids a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf_counters: allow users to count user, kernel and/or hypervisor events Impact: new perf_counter feature This extends the perf_counter_hw_event struct with bits that specify that events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode should not be counted (i.e. should be excluded), and adds code to program the PMU mode selection bits accordingly on x86 and powerpc. For software counters, we don't currently have the infrastructure to distinguish which mode an event occurs in, so we currently fail the counter initialization if the setting of the hw_event.exclude_* bits would require us to distinguish. Context switches and CPU migrations are currently considered to occur in kernel mode. On x86, this changes the previous policy that only root can count kernel events. Now non-root users can count kernel events or exclude them. Non-root users still can't use NMI events, though. On x86 we don't appear to have any way to control whether hypervisor events are counted or not, so hw_event.exclude_hv is ignored. On powerpc, the selection of whether to count events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode is PMU-wide, not per-counter, so this adds a check that the hw_event.exclude_* settings are the same as other events on the PMU. Counters being added to a group have to have the same settings as the other hardware counters in the group. Counters and groups can only be enabled in hw_perf_group_sched_in or power_perf_enable if they have the same settings as any other counters already on the PMU. If we are not running on a hypervisor, the exclude_hv setting is ignored (by forcing it to 0) since we can't ever get any hypervisor events. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

powerpc/perf_counters: Reduce stack usage of power_check_constraints Michael Ellerman reported stack-frame size warnings being produced for power_check_constraints(), which uses an 8*8 array of u64 and two 8*8 arrays of unsigned long, which are currently allocated on the stack, along with some other smaller variables. These arrays come to 1.5kB on 64-bit or 1kB on 32-bit, which is a bit too much for the stack. This fixes the problem by putting these arrays in the existing per-cpu cpu_hw_counters struct. This is OK because two of the call sites have interrupts disabled already; for the third call site we use get_cpu_var, which disables preemption, so we know we won't get a context switch while we're in power_check_constraints(). Note that power_check_constraints() can be called during context switch but is not called from interrupts.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list"). This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of contexts: * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is limited, not the events that they count. Hence: MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS limited_event -> limited_counter freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how many hardware counters the machine has. (Renaming this back avoids a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf_counter: Rework the perf counter disable/enable The current disable/enable mechanism is: token = hw_perf_save_disable(); ... /* do bits */ ... hw_perf_restore(token); This works well, provided that the use nests properly. Except we don't. x86 NMI/INT throttling has non-nested use of this, breaking things. Therefore provide a reference counter disable/enable interface, where the first disable disables the hardware, and the last enable enables the hardware again.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list"). This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of contexts: * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is limited, not the events that they count. Hence: MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS limited_event -> limited_counter freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how many hardware counters the machine has. (Renaming this back avoids a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

perf_counters: allow users to count user, kernel and/or hypervisor events Impact: new perf_counter feature This extends the perf_counter_hw_event struct with bits that specify that events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode should not be counted (i.e. should be excluded), and adds code to program the PMU mode selection bits accordingly on x86 and powerpc. For software counters, we don't currently have the infrastructure to distinguish which mode an event occurs in, so we currently fail the counter initialization if the setting of the hw_event.exclude_* bits would require us to distinguish. Context switches and CPU migrations are currently considered to occur in kernel mode. On x86, this changes the previous policy that only root can count kernel events. Now non-root users can count kernel events or exclude them. Non-root users still can't use NMI events, though. On x86 we don't appear to have any way to control whether hypervisor events are counted or not, so hw_event.exclude_hv is ignored. On powerpc, the selection of whether to count events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode is PMU-wide, not per-counter, so this adds a check that the hw_event.exclude_* settings are the same as other events on the PMU. Counters being added to a group have to have the same settings as the other hardware counters in the group. Counters and groups can only be enabled in hw_perf_group_sched_in or power_perf_enable if they have the same settings as any other counters already on the PMU. If we are not running on a hypervisor, the exclude_hv setting is ignored (by forcing it to 0) since we can't ever get any hypervisor events. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

powerpc/perf_counters: Reduce stack usage of power_check_constraints Michael Ellerman reported stack-frame size warnings being produced for power_check_constraints(), which uses an 8*8 array of u64 and two 8*8 arrays of unsigned long, which are currently allocated on the stack, along with some other smaller variables. These arrays come to 1.5kB on 64-bit or 1kB on 32-bit, which is a bit too much for the stack. This fixes the problem by putting these arrays in the existing per-cpu cpu_hw_counters struct. This is OK because two of the call sites have interrupts disabled already; for the third call site we use get_cpu_var, which disables preemption, so we know we won't get a context switch while we're in power_check_constraints(). Note that power_check_constraints() can be called during context switch but is not called from interrupts.

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

* A event can only go on a limited PMC if it counts something
perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: powerpc: only reserve PMU hardware when we need it Impact: cooperate with oprofile At present, on PowerPC, if you have perf_counters compiled in, oprofile doesn't work. There is code to allow the PMU to be shared between competing subsystems, such as perf_counters and oprofile, but currently the perf_counter subsystem reserves the PMU for itself at boot time, and never releases it. This makes perf_counter play nicely with oprofile. Now we keep a count of how many perf_counter instances are counting hardware events, and reserve the PMU when that count becomes non-zero, and release the PMU when that count becomes zero. This means that it is possible to have perf_counters compiled in and still use oprofile, as long as there are no hardware perf_counters active. This also means that if oprofile is active, sys_perf_counter_open will fail if the hw_event specifies a hardware event. To avoid races with other tasks creating and destroying perf_counters, we use a mutex.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf_counter: powerpc: use u64 for event codes internally Although the perf_counter API allows 63-bit raw event codes, internally in the powerpc back-end we had been using 32-bit event codes. This expands them to 64 bits so that we can add bits for specifying threshold start/stop events and instruction sampling modes later. This also corrects the return value of can_go_on_limited_pmc; we were returning an event code rather than just a 0/1 value in some circumstances. That didn't particularly matter while event codes were 32-bit, but now that event codes are 64-bit it might, so this fixes it.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf_counter: powerpc: only reserve PMU hardware when we need it Impact: cooperate with oprofile At present, on PowerPC, if you have perf_counters compiled in, oprofile doesn't work. There is code to allow the PMU to be shared between competing subsystems, such as perf_counters and oprofile, but currently the perf_counter subsystem reserves the PMU for itself at boot time, and never releases it. This makes perf_counter play nicely with oprofile. Now we keep a count of how many perf_counter instances are counting hardware events, and reserve the PMU when that count becomes non-zero, and release the PMU when that count becomes zero. This means that it is possible to have perf_counters compiled in and still use oprofile, as long as there are no hardware perf_counters active. This also means that if oprofile is active, sys_perf_counter_open will fail if the hw_event specifies a hardware event. To avoid races with other tasks creating and destroying perf_counters, we use a mutex. We use atomic_inc_not_zero and atomic_add_unless to avoid having to take the mutex unless there is a possibility of the count going between 0 and 1.

perf_counter: make it possible for hw_perf_counter_init to return error codes Impact: better error reporting At present, if hw_perf_counter_init encounters an error, all it can do is return NULL, which causes sys_perf_counter_open to return an EINVAL error to userspace. This isn't very informative for userspace; it means that userspace can't tell the difference between "sorry, oprofile is already using the PMU" and "we don't support this CPU" and "this CPU doesn't support the requested generic hardware event". This commit uses the PTR_ERR/ERR_PTR/IS_ERR set of macros to let hw_perf_counter_init return an error code on error rather than just NULL if it wishes. If it does so, that error code will be returned from sys_perf_counter_open to userspace. If it returns NULL, an EINVAL error will be returned to userspace, as before. This also adapts the powerpc hw_perf_counter_init to make use of this to return ENXIO, EINVAL, EBUSY, or EOPNOTSUPP as appropriate. It would be good to add extra error numbers in future to allow userspace to distinguish the various errors that are currently reported as EINVAL, i.e. irq_period < 0, too many events in a group, conflict between exclude_* settings in a group, and PMU resource conflict in a group.

perf_counter: fix type/event_id layout on big-endian systems Impact: build fix for powerpc Commit db3a944aca35ae61 ("perf_counter: revamp syscall input ABI") expanded the hw_event.type field into a union of structs containing bitfields. In particular it introduced a type field and a raw_type field, with the intention that the 1-bit raw_type field should overlay the most-significant bit of the 8-bit type field, and in fact perf_counter_alloc() now assumes that (or at least, assumes that raw_type doesn't overlay any of the bits that are 1 in the values of PERF_TYPE_{HARDWARE,SOFTWARE,TRACEPOINT}). Unfortunately this is not true on big-endian systems such as PowerPC, where bitfields are laid out from left to right, i.e. from most significant bit to least significant. This means that setting hw_event.type = PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE will set hw_event.raw_type to 1. This fixes it by making the layout depend on whether or not __BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD is defined. It's a bit ugly, but that's what we get for using bitfields in a user/kernel ABI. Also, that commit didn't fix up some places in arch/powerpc/kernel/ perf_counter.c where hw_event.raw and hw_event.event_id were used. This fixes them too.

perf_counters: allow users to count user, kernel and/or hypervisor events Impact: new perf_counter feature This extends the perf_counter_hw_event struct with bits that specify that events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode should not be counted (i.e. should be excluded), and adds code to program the PMU mode selection bits accordingly on x86 and powerpc. For software counters, we don't currently have the infrastructure to distinguish which mode an event occurs in, so we currently fail the counter initialization if the setting of the hw_event.exclude_* bits would require us to distinguish. Context switches and CPU migrations are currently considered to occur in kernel mode. On x86, this changes the previous policy that only root can count kernel events. Now non-root users can count kernel events or exclude them. Non-root users still can't use NMI events, though. On x86 we don't appear to have any way to control whether hypervisor events are counted or not, so hw_event.exclude_hv is ignored. On powerpc, the selection of whether to count events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode is PMU-wide, not per-counter, so this adds a check that the hw_event.exclude_* settings are the same as other events on the PMU. Counters being added to a group have to have the same settings as the other hardware counters in the group. Counters and groups can only be enabled in hw_perf_group_sched_in or power_perf_enable if they have the same settings as any other counters already on the PMU. If we are not running on a hypervisor, the exclude_hv setting is ignored (by forcing it to 0) since we can't ever get any hypervisor events. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

perfcounters/powerpc: Make exclude_kernel bit work on Apple G5 processors Currently, setting hw_event.exclude_kernel does nothing on the PPC970 variants used in Apple G5 machines, because they have the HV (hypervisor) bit in the MSR forced to 1, so as far as the PMU is concerned, the kernel runs in hypervisor mode. Thus we have to use the MMCR0_FCHV (freeze counters in hypervisor mode) bit rather than the MMCR0_FCS (freeze counters in supervisor mode) bit. This checks the MSR.HV bit at startup, and if it is set, we set the freeze_counters_kernel variable to MMCR0_FCHV (it was initialized to MMCR0_FCS). We then use that whenever we need to exclude kernel events. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter overflow events This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events, including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified. Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6 field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6) and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier positions. It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR values come from the same instruction. For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not doing instruction sampling. In that case there is no guarantee that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. Otherwise we supply 0.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list"). This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of contexts: * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is limited, not the events that they count. Hence: MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS limited_event -> limited_counter freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how many hardware counters the machine has.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf_counter: make it possible for hw_perf_counter_init to return error codes Impact: better error reporting At present, if hw_perf_counter_init encounters an error, all it can do is return NULL, which causes sys_perf_counter_open to return an EINVAL error to userspace. This isn't very informative for userspace; it means that userspace can't tell the difference between "sorry, oprofile is already using the PMU" and "we don't support this CPU" and "this CPU doesn't support the requested generic hardware event". This commit uses the PTR_ERR/ERR_PTR/IS_ERR set of macros to let hw_perf_counter_init return an error code on error rather than just NULL if it wishes. If it does so, that error code will be returned from sys_perf_counter_open to userspace. If it returns NULL, an EINVAL error will be returned to userspace, as before. This also adapts the powerpc hw_perf_counter_init to make use of this to return ENXIO, EINVAL, EBUSY, or EOPNOTSUPP as appropriate. It would be good to add extra error numbers in future to allow userspace to distinguish the various errors that are currently reported as EINVAL, i.e. irq_period < 0, too many events in a group, conflict between exclude_* settings in a group, and PMU resource conflict in a group.

perf_counters: allow users to count user, kernel and/or hypervisor events Impact: new perf_counter feature This extends the perf_counter_hw_event struct with bits that specify that events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode should not be counted (i.e. should be excluded), and adds code to program the PMU mode selection bits accordingly on x86 and powerpc. For software counters, we don't currently have the infrastructure to distinguish which mode an event occurs in, so we currently fail the counter initialization if the setting of the hw_event.exclude_* bits would require us to distinguish. Context switches and CPU migrations are currently considered to occur in kernel mode. On x86, this changes the previous policy that only root can count kernel events. Now non-root users can count kernel events or exclude them. Non-root users still can't use NMI events, though. On x86 we don't appear to have any way to control whether hypervisor events are counted or not, so hw_event.exclude_hv is ignored. On powerpc, the selection of whether to count events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode is PMU-wide, not per-counter, so this adds a check that the hw_event.exclude_* settings are the same as other events on the PMU. Counters being added to a group have to have the same settings as the other hardware counters in the group. Counters and groups can only be enabled in hw_perf_group_sched_in or power_perf_enable if they have the same settings as any other counters already on the PMU. If we are not running on a hypervisor, the exclude_hv setting is ignored (by forcing it to 0) since we can't ever get any hypervisor events. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

powerpc/perf_counters: Reduce stack usage of power_check_constraints Michael Ellerman reported stack-frame size warnings being produced for power_check_constraints(), which uses an 8*8 array of u64 and two 8*8 arrays of unsigned long, which are currently allocated on the stack, along with some other smaller variables. These arrays come to 1.5kB on 64-bit or 1kB on 32-bit, which is a bit too much for the stack. This fixes the problem by putting these arrays in the existing per-cpu cpu_hw_counters struct. This is OK because two of the call sites have interrupts disabled already; for the third call site we use get_cpu_var, which disables preemption, so we know we won't get a context switch while we're in power_check_constraints().

powerpc/perf_counters: Reduce stack usage of power_check_constraints Michael Ellerman reported stack-frame size warnings being produced for power_check_constraints(), which uses an 8*8 array of u64 and two 8*8 arrays of unsigned long, which are currently allocated on the stack, along with some other smaller variables. These arrays come to 1.5kB on 64-bit or 1kB on 32-bit, which is a bit too much for the stack. This fixes the problem by putting these arrays in the existing per-cpu cpu_hw_counters struct. This is OK because two of the call sites have interrupts disabled already; for the third call site we use get_cpu_var, which disables preemption, so we know we won't get a context switch while we're in power_check_constraints().

perf_counter: make it possible for hw_perf_counter_init to return error codes Impact: better error reporting At present, if hw_perf_counter_init encounters an error, all it can do is return NULL, which causes sys_perf_counter_open to return an EINVAL error to userspace. This isn't very informative for userspace; it means that userspace can't tell the difference between "sorry, oprofile is already using the PMU" and "we don't support this CPU" and "this CPU doesn't support the requested generic hardware event". This commit uses the PTR_ERR/ERR_PTR/IS_ERR set of macros to let hw_perf_counter_init return an error code on error rather than just NULL if it wishes. If it does so, that error code will be returned from sys_perf_counter_open to userspace. If it returns NULL, an EINVAL error will be returned to userspace, as before. This also adapts the powerpc hw_perf_counter_init to make use of this to return ENXIO, EINVAL, EBUSY, or EOPNOTSUPP as appropriate. It would be good to add extra error numbers in future to allow userspace to distinguish the various errors that are currently reported as EINVAL, i.e. irq_period < 0, too many events in a group, conflict between exclude_* settings in a group, and PMU resource conflict in a group.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf_counter: make it possible for hw_perf_counter_init to return error codes Impact: better error reporting At present, if hw_perf_counter_init encounters an error, all it can do is return NULL, which causes sys_perf_counter_open to return an EINVAL error to userspace. This isn't very informative for userspace; it means that userspace can't tell the difference between "sorry, oprofile is already using the PMU" and "we don't support this CPU" and "this CPU doesn't support the requested generic hardware event". This commit uses the PTR_ERR/ERR_PTR/IS_ERR set of macros to let hw_perf_counter_init return an error code on error rather than just NULL if it wishes. If it does so, that error code will be returned from sys_perf_counter_open to userspace. If it returns NULL, an EINVAL error will be returned to userspace, as before. This also adapts the powerpc hw_perf_counter_init to make use of this to return ENXIO, EINVAL, EBUSY, or EOPNOTSUPP as appropriate. It would be good to add extra error numbers in future to allow userspace to distinguish the various errors that are currently reported as EINVAL, i.e. irq_period < 0, too many events in a group, conflict between exclude_* settings in a group, and PMU resource conflict in a group.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter overflow events This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events, including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified. Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6 field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6) and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier positions. It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR values come from the same instruction. For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not doing instruction sampling. In that case there is no guarantee that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. Otherwise we supply 0.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6 field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6) and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier positions. It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR values come from the same instruction. For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not doing instruction sampling. In that case there is no guarantee that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. Otherwise we supply 0.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

perf_counter: unify and fix delayed counter wakeup While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on them. This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this issue. Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based single link list implementation to track counters that have pending wakeups. [ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the network wakeups. ] Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the wakeup. The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be sufficient.

If interrupts were soft-enabled, we can treat it as a regular interrupt and do irq_enter/irq_exit around the whole routine.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list"). This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of contexts: * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is limited, not the events that they count. Hence: MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS limited_event -> limited_counter freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how many hardware counters the machine has.

perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter overflow events This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events, including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified. Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6 field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6) and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier positions. It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR values come from the same instruction. For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not doing instruction sampling. In that case there is no guarantee that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord.

To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

perf_counter: powerpc: add nmi_enter/nmi_exit calls Impact: fix potential deadlocks on powerpc Now that the core is using in_nmi() (added in e30e08f6, "perf_counter: fix NMI race in task clock"), we need the powerpc perf_counter_interrupt to call nmi_enter() and nmi_exit() in those cases where the interrupt happens when interrupts are soft-disabled. If interrupts were soft-enabled, we can treat it as a regular interrupt and do irq_enter/irq_exit around the whole routine. This lets us get rid of the test_perf_counter_pending() call at the end of perf_counter_interrupt, thus simplifying things a little.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.)

perfcounters/powerpc: Make exclude_kernel bit work on Apple G5 processors Currently, setting hw_event.exclude_kernel does nothing on the PPC970 variants used in Apple G5 machines, because they have the HV (hypervisor) bit in the MSR forced to 1, so as far as the PMU is concerned, the kernel runs in hypervisor mode. Thus we have to use the MMCR0_FCHV (freeze counters in hypervisor mode) bit rather than the MMCR0_FCS (freeze counters in supervisor mode) bit. This checks the MSR.HV bit at startup, and if it is set, we set the freeze_counters_kernel variable to MMCR0_FCHV (it was initialized to MMCR0_FCS).

perfcounters/powerpc: Make exclude_kernel bit work on Apple G5 processors Currently, setting hw_event.exclude_kernel does nothing on the PPC970 variants used in Apple G5 machines, because they have the HV (hypervisor) bit in the MSR forced to 1, so as far as the PMU is concerned, the kernel runs in hypervisor mode. Thus we have to use the MMCR0_FCHV (freeze counters in hypervisor mode) bit rather than the MMCR0_FCS (freeze counters in supervisor mode) bit. This checks the MSR.HV bit at startup, and if it is set, we set the freeze_counters_kernel variable to MMCR0_FCHV (it was initialized to MMCR0_FCS). We then use that whenever we need to exclude kernel events. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: powerpc: Make powerpc perf_counter code safe for 32-bit kernels 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: Rework and fix the arch CPU-hotplug hooks Remove the hw_perf_event_*() hotplug hooks in favour of per PMU hotplug notifiers. This has the advantage of reducing the static weak interface as well as exposing all hotplug actions to the PMU. Use this to fix x86 hotplug usage where we did things in ONLINE which should have been done in UP_PREPARE or STARTING.

powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.
