* MIPS, Perf-events: Work with the new PMU interfaceDeng-Cheng Zhu2011-03-14

The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with the generic stopped state. This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain code paths (like IRQ handlers). It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters). The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on how the architecture implemented the throttled state: 1) We disable the counter: a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events For MIPSXX, the stopped state is implemented in the way of 1.b as above. - 33696fc0d141bbbcb12f75b69608ea83282e3117 perf: Per PMU disable Changes perf_disable() into perf_pmu_disable(). - 24cd7f54a0d47e1d5b3de29e2456bfbd2d8447b7 perf: Reduce perf_disable() usage Since the current perf_disable() usage is only an optimization, remove it for now.

* MIPS, Perf-events: Work with irq_workDeng-Cheng Zhu2011-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the MIPS part of the following commit by Peter Zijlstra: - e360adbe29241a0194e10e20595360dd7b98a2b3 irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers. Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also benefit. The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately. Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in processing the work. For MIPSXX, we need to call irq_work_run() at the tail of the perf IRQ handler as described above.

* perf, arch: Cleanup perf-pmu init vs lockup-detectorPeter Zijlstra2010-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot, some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall). The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall() and expects the hardware pmu to be present. Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit initcall right after that.

* MIPS: Add support for hardware performance events (mipsxx)Deng-Cheng Zhu2010-10-29
This patch adds the mipsxx Perf-events support based on the skeleton. Generic hardware events and cache events are now fully implemented for the 24K/34K/74K/1004K cores. To support other cores in mipsxx (such as R10000/SB1), the generic hardware event tables and cache event tables need to be filled out. To support other CPUs which have different PMU than mipsxx, such as RM9000 and LOONGSON2, the additional files perf_event_$cpu.c need to be created. Raw event is an important part of Perf-events. It helps the user collect performance data for events that are not listed as the generic hardware events and cache events but ARE supported by the CPU's PMU. This patch also adds this feature for mipsxx 24K/34K/74K/1004K. For how to use it, please refer to processor core software user's manual and the comments for mipsxx_pmu_map_raw_event() for more details. Please note that this is a "precise" implementation, which means the kernel will check whether the requested raw events are supported by this CPU and which hardware counters can be assigned for them. To test the functionality of Perf-event, you may want to compile the tool "perf" for your MIPS platform. You can refer to the following URL: http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2010-10/msg00126.html You also need to customize the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in tools/perf/Makefile for your libs, includes, etc. In case you encounter the boot failure in SMVP kernel on multi-threading CPUs, you may take a look at: http://www.linux-mips.org/git?p=linux-mti.git;a=commitdiff;h=5460815027d802697b879644c74f0e8365254020 Signed-off-by: Deng-Cheng Zhu <dengcheng.zhu@gmail.com> To: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: mingo@elte.hu Cc: acme@redhat.com Cc: jamie.iles@picochip.com Cc: ddaney@caviumnetworks.com Cc: matt@console-pimps.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1689/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> create mode 100644 arch/mips/kernel/perf_event_mipsxx.c
