| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple (e.g. nommu) architectures.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing asm-generic/atomic.h only defines the atomic_long type.

| * | asm-generic: introduce asm/bitsperlong.hArnd Bergmann2009-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides a reliable way for asm-generic/types.h and other files to find out if it is running on a 32 or 64 bit platform. We cannot use CONFIG_64BIT for this in headers that are included from user space because CONFIG symbols are not available there. We also cannot do it inside of asm/types.h because some headers need the word size but cannot include types.h. The solution is to introduce a new header <asm/bitsperlong.h> that defines both __BITS_PER_LONG for user space and BITS_PER_LONG for usage in the kernel. The asm-generic version falls back to 32 bit unless the architecture overrides it, which I did for all 64 bit platforms.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing asm-generic versions are incomplete and included by some architectures. New architectures should be able to use a generic version, so rename the existing files and change all users, which lets us add the new files.

The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup). (This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.) (PowerPC build-tested.)

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.

The effect is that we get extra, bogus event code alternatives on POWER5 and POWER5+, leading to error messages such as "oops compute_mmcr failed" being printed and counters not counting properly. This fixes it by using s64 for the return type of find_alternative_bdecode and for the local variable that the caller puts the value in. It also makes the event argument a u64 on POWER5+ for consistency.

Since we don't have individual count enable/disable or interrupt enable/disable controls per counter, this simply sets the hardware counter to 0, meaning that it will not interrupt again until it has counted 2^31 counts, which will take at least 2^30 cycles assuming a maximum of 2 counts per cycle. Also, we set counter->hw.period_left to the maximum possible value (2^63 - 1), so we won't report overflows for this counter for the forseeable future. The unthrottle operation restores counter->hw.period_left and the hardware counter so that we will once again report a counter overflow after counter->hw.irq_period counts.

Unfortunately the test got added before cpuhw was initialized, resulting in an oops the first time hw_perf_enable got called.

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.

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.

(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.

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

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.

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.

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.
