perf: Change the is_software_event() definition

2010-01-21T12:40:40Z

The is_software_event() definition always confuses me because its an exclusive expression, make it an inclusive one. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf_events: Fix perf_event_attr layout

2009-12-15T19:12:20Z

The miss-alignment of bp_addr created a 32bit hole, causing different structure packings on 32 and 64 bit machines. Fix that by moving __reserve_2 into that hole. Further, remove the useless struct and redundant __bp_reserve muck.

hw-breakpoints: Modify breakpoints without unregistering them

2009-12-09T08:48:20Z

Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling it, changing its address, type or len, it calls modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new one. This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle. So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it after if necessary.

perf events: hw_breakpoints: Don't include asm/hw_breakpoint.h in user space

2009-12-08T01:58:40Z

asm/hw_breakpoint.h is evidently a kernel internal file and should not be included globally, not even under an #ifdef.

perf: Remove the "event" callback from perf events

2009-12-06T07:27:20Z

As it is not used anymore and has been superseded by overflow_handler. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: "K. Prasad"

hw-breakpoints: Use overflow handler instead of the event callback

2009-12-06T07:27:18Z

struct perf_event::event callback was called when a breakpoint triggers. But this is a rather opaque callback, pretty tied-only to the breakpoint API and not really integrated into perf as it triggers even when we don't overflow. We prefer to use overflow_handler() as it fits into the perf events rules, being called only when we overflow.

perf: Remove unused struct perf_event::event_callback

2009-12-06T07:27:15Z

This field might result from an older manual rebasing mistake. We don't use it. Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: "K. Prasad"

perf: Remove pointless union that wraps the hw breakpoint fields

2009-12-06T07:26:52Z

It stands to anonymize a structure, but structures can already anonymize by themselves. Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: "K. Prasad"
