powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm

2008-08-04T02:02:00+00:00

from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where  was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.

[POWERPC] Made FSL Book-E PMC support more generic

2008-02-06T05:34:14+00:00

Some of the more recent e300 cores have the same performance monitor
implementation as the e500.  e300 isn't book-e, so the name isn't
really appropriate.  In preparation for e300 support, rename a bunch
of fsl_booke things to say fsl_emb (Freescale Embedded Performance Monitors).

[CELL] oprofile: add support to OProfile for profiling CELL BE SPUs

2007-07-20T19:42:24+00:00

From: Maynard Johnson 

This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c
to add in the SPU profiling capabilities.  In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory
was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code.
Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which
are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data
structures.

Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn).  Check pointer
returned from kzalloc.  Eliminated unnecessary cast.  Better error
handling and cleanup in the related area.  64-bit unsigned long parameter
was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to
unsigned long.

[POWERPC] Oprofile cleanup

2007-02-07T03:03:19+00:00

Clean up the ctr_read/write a bit. It's currently defined in the
include but only used in one C file each. The only exception is the
classic version, so keep that in the include and define in the C file
as appropriate.

[POWERPC] cell: Add oprofile support

2006-12-04T09:40:14+00:00

Add PPU event-based and cycle-based profiling support to Oprofile for Cell.

Oprofile is expected to collect data on all CPUs simultaneously.
However, there is one set of performance counters per node.  There are
two hardware threads or virtual CPUs on each node.  Hence, OProfile must
multiplex in time the performance counter collection on the two virtual
CPUs.

The multiplexing of the performance counters is done by a virtual
counter routine.  Initially, the counters are configured to collect data
on the even CPUs in the system, one CPU per node.  In order to capture
the PC for the virtual CPU when the performance counter interrupt occurs
(the specified number of events between samples has occurred), the even
processors are configured to handle the performance counter interrupts
for their node.  The virtual counter routine is called via a kernel
timer after the virtual sample time.  The routine stops the counters,
saves the current counts, loads the last counts for the other virtual
CPU on the node, sets interrupts to be handled by the other virtual CPU
and restarts the counters, the virtual timer routine is scheduled to run
again.  The virtual sample time is kept relatively small to make sure
sampling occurs on both CPUs on the node with a relatively small
granularity.  Whenever the counters overflow, the performance counter
interrupt is called to collect the PC for the CPU where data is being
collected.

The oprofile driver relies on a firmware RTAS call to setup the debug bus
to route the desired signals to the performance counter hardware to be
counted.  The RTAS call must set the routing registers appropriately in
each of the islands to pass the signals down the debug bus as well as
routing the signals from a particular island onto the bus.  There is a
second firmware RTAS call to reset the debug bus to the non pass thru
state when the counters are not in use.

[POWERPC] Fix oprofile support for e500 in arch/powerpc

2006-11-01T03:52:48+00:00

Fixed a compile error in building the 85xx support with oprofile, and in
the process cleaned up some issues with the fsl_booke performance monitor
code.

* Reorganized FSL Book-E performance monitoring code so that the 7450
  wouldn't be built if the e500 was, and cleaned it up so it was more
  self-contained.

* Added a cpu_setup function for FSL Book-E.  The original
  cpu_setup function prototype had no arguments, assuming that
  the reg_setup function would copy the required information into
  variables which represented the registers.  This was silly for
  e500, since it has 1 register per counter (rather than 3 for
  all counters), so the code has been restructured to have
  cpu_setup take the current counter config array as an argument,
  with op_powerpc_setup() invoking op_powerpc_cpu_setup() through
  on_each_cpu(), and op_powerpc_cpu_setup() invoking the
  model-specific cpu_setup function with an argument.  The
  argument is ignored on all other platforms at present.

* Fixed a confusing line where a trinary operator only had two
  arguments

[PATCH] powerpc: Remove oprofile spinlock backtrace code

2006-03-29T02:44:16+00:00

Remove oprofile spinlock backtrace code now we have proper calltrace
support. Also make MMCRA sihv and sipr bits a variable since they may
change in future cpus. Finally, MMCRA should be a 64bit quantity.
