locking, oprofile: Annotate oprofilefs lock as raw

2011-09-13T09:12:05Z

The oprofilefs_lock can be taken in atomic context (in profiling interrupts) and therefore cannot cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it. In mainline this change documents the low level nature of the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep and Sparse checking will work as usual.

oprofile, s390: Rework hwsampler implementation

2011-02-15T10:10:20Z

This patch is a rework of the hwsampler oprofile implementation that has been applied recently. Now there are less non-architectural changes. The only changes are: * introduction of oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample(), and * removal of section attributes of oprofile_timer_init/_exit(). To setup hwsampler for oprofile we need to modify start()/stop() callbacks and additional hwsampler control files in oprofilefs. We do not reinitialize the timer or hwsampler mode by restarting calling init/exit() anymore, instead hwsampler_running is used to switch the mode directly in oprofile_hwsampler_start/_stop(). For locking reasons there is also hwsampler_file that reflects the value in oprofilefs. The overall diffstat of the oprofile s390 hwsampler implemenation shows the low impact to non-architectural code: arch/Kconfig | 3 + arch/s390/Kconfig | 1 + arch/s390/oprofile/Makefile | 2 +- arch/s390/oprofile/hwsampler.c | 1256 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/s390/oprofile/hwsampler.h | 113 +++ arch/s390/oprofile/hwsampler_files.c | 162 +++++ arch/s390/oprofile/init.c | 6 +- drivers/oprofile/cpu_buffer.c | 24 +- drivers/oprofile/timer_int.c | 4 +- include/linux/oprofile.h | 7 + 10 files changed, 1567 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) Acked-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Robert Richter

oprofile, s390: Enhance OProfile to support System zs hardware sampling feature

2011-02-15T10:08:50Z

OProfile is enhanced to export all files for controlling System z's hardware sampling, and to invoke hwsampler exported functions to initialize and use System z's hardware sampling. The patch invokes hwsampler_setup() during oprofile init and exports following hwsampler files under oprofilefs if hwsampler's setup succeeded: A new directory for hardware sampling based files /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/ The userland daemon must explicitly write to the following files to disable (or enable) hardware based sampling /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hwsampler to modify the actual sampling rate /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_interval to modify the amount of sampling memory (measured in 4K pages) /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_sdbt_blocks The following files are read only and show the possible minimum sampling rate /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_min_interval the possible maximum sampling rate /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_max_interval The patch splits the oprofile_timer_[init/exit] function so that it can be also called through user context (oprofilefs) to avoid kernel oops.

oprofile: Introduce new oprofile sample add function (oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample)

2011-02-15T10:07:07Z

This patch introduces a new oprofile sample add function (oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample) that can also take task_struct as an argument, which is used by the hwsampler kernel module when copying hardware samples to OProfile buffers. Applied with following changes: * removed #include * whitespace changes * removed conditional compilation (CONFIG_HAVE_HWSAMPLER) * modified order of functions * fix missing function definition in header file Signed-off-by: Mahesh Salgaonkar Signed-off-by: Maran Pakkirisamy Signed-off-by: Heinz Graalfs Acked-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Robert Richter

ARM: oprofile: Fix backtraces in timer mode

2011-01-26T18:21:28Z

Always allow backtraces when using oprofile on ARM, even if a PMU isn't present. Restores functionality originally introduced in commit 1b7b56982fdcd9d85effd76f3928cf5d6eb26155 ("oprofile: Always allow backtraces on ARM") by Richard Purdie. It is not that obvious, but there is now only one oprofile_arch_init() function. So the .backtrace callback is available also in timer mode. Implemented by removing code and using stubs for oprofile_perf_{init, exit} provided by . This allows cleaning of other architecture specific implementations too.

oprofile: fix linker errors

2010-10-15T10:45:44Z

Commit e9677b3ce (oprofile, ARM: Use oprofile_arch_exit() to cleanup on failure) caused oprofile_perf_exit to be called in the cleanup path of oprofile_perf_init. The __exit tag for oprofile_perf_exit should therefore be dropped. The same has to be done for exit_driverfs as well, as this function is called from oprofile_perf_exit. Else, we get the following two linker errors. LD .tmp_vmlinux1 `oprofile_perf_exit' referenced in section `.init.text' of arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 LD .tmp_vmlinux1 `exit_driverfs' referenced in section `.text' of arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 Signed-off-by: Anand Gadiyar Cc: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Robert Richter

oprofile: Abstract the perf-events backend

2010-10-11T15:46:16Z

Move the perf-events backend from arch/arm/oprofile into drivers/oprofile so that the code can be shared between architectures. This allows each architecture to maintain only a single copy of the PMU accessor functions instead of one for both perf and OProfile. It also becomes possible for other architectures to delete much of their OProfile code in favour of the common code now available in drivers/oprofile/oprofile_perf.c.

oprofile: Make op_name_from_perf_id() global

2010-10-11T15:46:15Z

Make op_name_from_perf_id() global so that we have a way for each architecture to construct an oprofile name for op->cpu_type. We need to remove the argument from the function prototype so that we can hide all implementation details inside the function. Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming Signed-off-by: Robert Richter
