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. )

ARMv6 introduces non-executable mappings, which can cause prefetch aborts
when an attempt is made to execute from such a mapping. Currently, this
causes us to loop in the page fault handler since we don't correctly
check for proper permissions.
Fix this by checking that VMAs have VM_EXEC set for prefetch aborts.
Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
Since we get notified separately about prefetch aborts, which may be
permission faults, we need to check for appropriate access permissions
when handling a fault. This patch prepares us for doing this by
separating out the access error checking.

Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> 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

Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:
make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install
With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]
This patch undos what Ian did in commit:
0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46
("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")

Remove the ARM dependency from the generic "onenand" platform device
driver. This change makes the driver useful for other architectures as
well. Needed for the SuperH kfr2r09 board.
Apart from the obvious Kconfig bits, the most important change is the move
away from ARM specific includes and platform data. Together with this
change the only in-tree board code gets an update, and the driver name is
also changed gracefully break potential out of tree drivers.
The driver is also updated to allow NULL as platform data together with a
few changes to make use of resource_size() and dev_name().

The patch adds a CLREX or dummy STREX to the exception return path. This
is needed because several atomic/locking operations use a pair of
LDREX/STREXEQ and the EQ condition may not always be satisfied. This
would leave the exclusive monitor status set and may cause problems with
atomic/locking operations in the interrupted code.
With this patch, the atomic_set() operation can be a simple STR
instruction (on SMP systems, the global exclusive monitor is cleared by
STR anyway). Clearing the exclusive monitor during context switch is no
longer needed as this is handled by the exception return path anyway.

This adds the long debated sched_clock() override for the weak
in-kernel jiffybased sched_clock(). The implementation is more or
less identical to the one used in arch/arm/plat-omap/common.c
and at last attempt to merge this the merge was postponed at the
request of Peter Zijlstra due to pending discussions regarding
generalized clocksource-based sched_clock() implementations by
adding a flag to the clocksource. However that discussion ended
up with the generic code needing to be rewritten and Paul Mundt
see no reason not to proceed with this for the time being as it
can be easily converted once the generic code is in place.

Optimized version of copy_page() was written with assumption that cache
line size is 32 bytes. On Cortex-A8 cache line size is 64 bytes.
This patch tries to generalize copy_page() to work with any cache line
size if cache line size is multiple of 16 and page size is multiple of
two cache line size.
After this optimization we've got ~25% speedup on OMAP3(tested in
userspace).
There is test for kernelspace which trigger copy-on-write after fork():
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define BUF_SIZE (10000*4096)
#define NFORK 200
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *buf = malloc(BUF_SIZE);
int i;
memset(buf, 0, BUF_SIZE);
for(i = 0; i < NFORK; i++) {
if (fork()) {
wait(NULL);
} else {
int j;
for(j = 0; j < BUF_SIZE; j+= 4096)
buf[j] = (j & 0xFF) + 1;
break;
}
}
free(buf);
return 0;
}
Before optimization this test takes ~66 seconds, after optimization
takes ~56 seconds.
