perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events

2009-09-21T12:28:04+00:00

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_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. )

arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0

2009-09-20T10:28:22+00:00

Albin Tonnerre  reported:

    Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
    This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
    This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
    build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
    or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)

Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.

This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.

Notes for the different architectures touched:

arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
       [Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
       Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
       the linker script.
       [Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
          [not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
         [not build tested]

sparc: Add CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG support

2009-08-10T07:35:00+00:00

All we need to do for CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG support is call
dma_debug_init() in DMA code common for SPARC32 and SPARC64.

Now SPARC32 uses two dma_map_ops structures for pci and sbus so
there is not much dma stuff for SPARC32 in kernel/dma.c.
kernel/ioport.c also includes dma stuff for SPARC32. So let's
put all the dma stuff for SPARC32 in kernel/ioport.c and make
kernel/dma.c common for SPARC32 and SPARC64.

sparc: move of_device common code to of_device_common

2009-06-16T11:56:49+00:00

This patch moves code common to of_device_32.c and of_device_64.c into
of_device_common.h and of_device_common.c.

The only functional difference is in sparc32 where of_bus_default_map is
used in place of of_bus_sbus_map because they are equivelent.

There is still room for further code consolidation with some minor
refactoring.

Boot tested on sparc32 and compile tested on sparc64.

sparc64: fix and optimize irq distribution

2009-06-16T11:56:28+00:00

irq_choose_cpu() should compare the affinity mask against cpu_online_map
rather than CPU_MASK_ALL, since irq_select_affinity() sets the interrupt's
affinity mask to cpu_online_map "and" CPU_MASK_ALL (which ends up being
just cpu_online_map).  The mask comparison in irq_choose_cpu() will always
fail since the two masks are not the same.  So the CPU chosen is the first CPU
in the intersection of cpu_online_map and CPU_MASK_ALL, which is always CPU0.
That means all interrupts are reassigned to CPU0...

Distributing interrupts to CPUs in a linearly increasing round robin fashion
is not optimal for the UltraSPARC T1/T2.  Also, the irq_rover in
irq_choose_cpu() causes an interrupt to be assigned to a different
processor each time the interrupt is allocated and released.  This may lead
to an unbalanced distribution over time.

A static mapping of interrupts to processors is done to optimize and balance
interrupt distribution.  For the T1/T2, interrupts are spread to different
cores first, and then to strands within a core.

The following is some benchmarks showing the effects of interrupt
distribution on a T2.  The test was done with iperf using a pair of T5220
boxes, each with a 10GBe NIU (XAUI) connected back to back.
