perf: Correctly align perf event tracing buffer

2010-04-01T06:26:30Z

The trace event buffer used by perf to record raw sample events is typed as an array of char and may then not be aligned to 8 by alloc_percpu(). But we need it to be aligned to 8 in sparc64 because we cast this buffer into a random structure type built by the TRACE_EVENT() macro to store the traces. So if a random 64 bits field is accessed inside, it may be not under an expected good alignment. Use an array of long instead to force the appropriate alignment, and perform a compile time check to ensure the size in byte of the buffer is a multiple of sizeof(long) so that its actual size doesn't get shrinked under us. This fixes unaligned accesses reported while using perf lock in sparc 64.

perf: Fix unexported generic perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs

2010-03-17T11:26:49Z

perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() is exported for the overriden x86 version, but not for the generic weak version. As a general rule, weak functions should not have their symbol exported in the same file they are defined. So let's export it on trace_event_perf.c as it is used by trace events only. This fixes: ERROR: ".perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs" [fs/xfs/xfs.ko] undefined! ERROR: ".perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs" [arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko] undefined! -v2: And also only build it if trace events are enabled. -v3: Fix changelog mistake Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Xiao Guangrong Cc: Paul Mackerras LKML-Reference: <1268697902-9518-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf: Drop the obsolete profile naming for trace events

2010-03-10T13:47:18Z

Drop the obsolete "profile" naming used by perf for trace events. Perf can now do more than simple events counting, so generalize the API naming. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Jason Baron
