perf/powerpc: Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL

2015-10-20T08:30:54+00:00

The patch catches PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL because it is not clear whether
this is actually supported by the hardware.

powerpc/mm: Differentiate between hugetlb and THP during page walk

2015-10-12T04:30:09+00:00

We need to properly identify whether a hugepage is an explicit or
a transparent hugepage in follow_huge_addr(). We used to depend
on hugepage shift argument to do that. But in some case that can
result in wrong results. For ex:

On finding a transparent hugepage we set hugepage shift to PMD_SHIFT.
But we can end up clearing the thp pte, via pmdp_huge_get_and_clear.
We do prevent reusing the pfn page via the usage of
kick_all_cpus_sync(). But that happens after we updated the pte to 0.
Hence in follow_huge_addr() we can find hugepage shift set, but transparent
huge page check fail for a thp pte.

NOTE: We fixed a variant of this race against thp split in commit
691e95fd7396905a38d98919e9c150dbc3ea21a3
("powerpc/mm/thp: Make page table walk safe against thp split/collapse")

Without this patch, we may hit the BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET) in
follow_page_mask occasionally.

In the long term, we may want to switch ppc64 64k page size config to
enable CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB

perf/core: Drop PERF_EVENT_TXN

2015-09-13T09:27:30+00:00

We currently use PERF_EVENT_TXN flag to determine if we are in the middle
of a transaction. If in a transaction, we defer the schedulability checks
from pmu->add() operation to the pmu->commit() operation.

Now that we have "transaction types" (PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ)
we can use the type to determine if we are in a transaction and drop the
PERF_EVENT_TXN flag.

When PERF_EVENT_TXN is dropped, the cpuhw->group_flag on some architectures
becomes unused, so drop that field as well.

This is an extension of the Powerpc patch from Peter Zijlstra to s390,
Sparc and x86 architectures.

powerpc, perf/powerpc/hv-24x7: Use PMU_TXN_READ interface

2015-09-13T09:27:29+00:00

The 24x7 counters in Powerpc allow monitoring a large number of counters
simultaneously. They also allow reading several counters in a single
HCALL so we can get a more consistent snapshot of the system.

Use the PMU's transaction interface to monitor and read several event
counters at once. The idea is that users can group several 24x7 events
into a single group of events. We use the following logic to submit
the group of events to the PMU and read the values:

	pmu->start_txn()		// Initialize before first event

	for each event in group
		pmu->read(event);	// Queue each event to be read

	pmu->commit_txn()		// Read/update all queuedcounters

The ->commit_txn() also updates the event counts in the respective
perf_event objects.  The perf subsystem can then directly get the
event counts from the perf_event and can avoid submitting a new
->read() request to the PMU.

Thanks to input from Peter Zijlstra.

perf/core: Add a 'flags' parameter to the PMU transactional interfaces

2015-09-13T09:27:25+00:00

Currently, the PMU interface allows reading only one counter at a time.
But some PMUs like the 24x7 counters in Power, support reading several
counters at once. To leveage this functionality, extend the transaction
interface to support a "transaction type".

The first type, PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, refers to the existing transactions,
i.e. used to _schedule_ all the events on the PMU as a group. A second
transaction type, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ, will be used in a follow-on patch,
by the 24x7 counters to read several counters at once.

Extend the transaction interfaces to the PMU to accept a 'txn_flags'
parameter and use this parameter to ignore any transactions that are
not of type PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD.

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for his input.
