| | | | | | | | | During switching virtual counters there is access to perfctr msrs. If the counter is not available this fails due to an invalid address. This patch fixes this. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

* oprofile/x86: fix perfctr nmi reservation for mulitplexingRobert Richter2010-02-262-24/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Multiple virtual counters share one physical counter. The reservation of virtual counters fails due to duplicate allocation of the same counter. The counters are already reserved. Thus, virtual counter reservation may removed at all. This also makes the code easier. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
* oprofile/x86: add comment to counter-in-use warningNaga Chumbalkar2010-02-261-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, oprofile fails silently on platforms where a non-OS entity such as the system firmware "enables" and uses a performance counter. There is a warning in the code for this case. The warning indicates an already running counter. If oprofile doesn't collect data, then try using a different performance counter on your platform to monitor the desired event. Delete the counter from the desired event by editing the /usr/share/oprofile/<cpu_type>/<cpu>/events file. If the event cannot be monitored by any other counter, contact your hardware or BIOS vendor.

* oprofile/x86: implement randomization for IBS periodic op counterRobert Richter2010-02-261-6/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IBS selects an op (execution operation) for sampling by counting either cycles or dispatched ops. Better statistical samples can be produced by adding a software generated random offset to the periodic op counter value with each sample. This patch adds software randomization to the IBS periodic op counter. The lower 12 bits of the 20 bit counter are randomized. IbsOpCurCnt is initialized with a 12 bit random value. There is a work around if the hw can not write to IbsOpCurCnt. Then the lower 8 bits of the 16 bit IbsOpMaxCnt [15:0] value are randomized in the range of -128 to +127 by adding/subtracting an offset to the maximum count (IbsOpMaxCnt). The linear feedback shift register (LFSR) algorithm is used for pseudo-random number generation to have low impact to the memory system. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
* oprofile/x86: implement lsfr pseudo-random number generator for IBSSuravee Suthikulpanit2010-02-261-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) for pseudo-random number generation for IBS. For IBS measurements it would be good to minimize memory traffic in the interrupt handler since every access pollutes the data caches. Computing a maximal period LFSR just needs shifts and ORs. The LFSR method is good enough to randomize the ops at low overhead. 16 pseudo-random bits are enough for the implementation and it doesn't matter that the pattern repeats with a fairly short cycle. It only needs to break up (hard) periodic sampling behavior. The logic was designed by Paul Drongowski.

* oprofile/x86: implement IBS cpuid feature detectionRobert Richter2010-02-261-17/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds IBS feature detection using cpuid flags. An IBS capability mask is introduced to test for certain IBS features. The bit mask is the same as for IBS cpuid feature flags (Fn8000_001B_EAX), but bit 0 is used to indicate the existence of IBS. The patch also changes the handling of the IbsOpCntCtl bit (periodic op counter count control). The oprofilefs file for this feature (ibs_op/dispatched_ops) will be only exposed if the feature is available, also the default for the bit is set to count clock cycles. In general, the userland can detect the availability of a feature by checking for the corresponding file in oprofilefs. If it exists, the feature also exists. This may lead to a dynamic file layout depending on the cpu type with that the userland has to deal with. Current opcontrol is compatible. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
* oprofile/x86: remove node check in AMD IBS initializationRobert Richter2010-02-261-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Standard AMD systems have the same number of nodes as there are northbridge devices. However, there may kernel configurations (especially for 32 bit) or system setups exist, where the node number is different or it can not be detected properly. Thus the check is not reliable and may fail though IBS setup was fine. For this reason it is better to remove the check.

* perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optionalFrederic Weisbecker2009-12-171-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable, which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example. But we have users like perf that only require reliable stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users can tune for their needs.

* perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar2009-09-212-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

* oprofile: Implement performance counter multiplexingJason Yeh2009-07-206-20/+267
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters are provided by the hardware. This is realized by switching between events at an user specified time interval. A new file (/dev/oprofile/time_slice) is added for the user to specify the timer interval in ms. If the number of events to profile is higher than the number of hardware counters available, the patch will schedule a work queue that switches the event counter and re-writes the different sets of values into it. The switching mechanism needs to be implemented for each architecture to support multiplexing. This patch only implements AMD CPU support, but multiplexing can be easily extended for other models and architectures. There are follow-on patches that rework parts of this patch.
