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. )

The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like
cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent
RT interaction.
To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which
leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and
sched_balance_self().
Modify sched_balance_self() to:
- update_shares() when walking up the domain tree,
(it only called it for the top domain, but it should
have done this anyway), which allows us to remove
this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up().
- do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains
both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for
WAKE invocations.
Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle().
This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and
SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE.
SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective.
Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags --
platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE
conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional
feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this
enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.

dcache writeback if necessary.

This implements support for NMI debugging that was shamelessly copied
from the avr32 port. A bit of special magic is needed in the interrupt
exception path given that the NMI exception handler is stubbed in to the
regular exception handling table despite being reported in INTEVT. So we
mangle the lookup and kick off an EXPEVT-style exception dispatch from
the INTEVT path for exceptions that do_IRQ() has no chance of handling.
As a result, we also drop the evt2irq() conversion from the do_IRQ() path
and just do it in assembly.

The SH instruction set has several instructions which accept an 8 bit
immediate operand. For logical instructions this operand is zero extended,
for arithmetic instructions the operand is sign extended. After adding an
option to the assembler to check this, it was found that several pieces
of assembly code were assuming this behaviour, and in one case
getting it wrong.
So this patch explicitly sign extends any immediate operands, which makes
it obvious what is happening, and fixes the one case which got it wrong.

wheel.
This set of changes allows the SH to be built with GENERIC_IOMAP
enabled, it just ifdef's out the functions provided by the GENERIC_IOMAP
implementation, and provides a few required missing functions.

This patch is V3 of the SuperH Mobile Runtime PM platform bus
implentation matching Rafael's Runtime PM v16.
The code gets invoked from the SuperH specific Runtime PM
platform bus functions that override the weak symbols for:
- platform_pm_runtime_suspend()
- platform_pm_runtime_resume()
- platform_pm_runtime_idle()
This Runtime PM implementation performs two levels of power
management. At the time of platform bus runtime suspend the
clock to the device is stopped instantly. Later on if all
devices within the power domain has their clocks stopped
then the device driver ->runtime_suspend() callbacks are
used to save hardware register state for each device.
Device driver ->runtime_suspend() calls are scheduled from
cpuidle context using platform_pm_runtime_suspend_idle().
When all devices have been fully suspended the processor
is allowed to enter deep sleep from cpuidle.
The runtime resume operation turns on clocks and also
restores registers if needed. It is worth noting that the
devices start in a suspended state and the device driver
is responsible for calling runtime resume before accessing
the actual hardware.
In this particular platform bus implementation runtime
resume is not allowed from interrupt context. Runtime
suspend is however allowed from interrupt context as
long as the synchronous functions are avoided.

We can't assume that if we execute the unwinder code and the unwinder
was already running that it has faulted. Clearly two kernel threads can
invoke the unwinder at the same time and may be running simultaneously.
The previous approach used BUG() and BUG_ON() in the unwinder code to
detect whether the unwinder was incapable of unwinding the stack, and
that the next available unwinder should be used instead. A better
approach is to explicitly invoke a trap handler to switch unwinders when
the current unwinder cannot continue.

Plug a memory leak in dwarf_unwinder_dump() where we didn't free the
memory that we had previously allocated for the DWARF frames and DWARF
registers.
Now is also a opportune time to implement our own mempool and kmem
cache. It's a good idea to have a certain number of frame and register
objects in reserve at all times, so that we are guaranteed to have our
allocation satisfied even when memory is scarce. Since we have pools to
allocate from we can implement the registers for each frame as a linked
list as opposed to a sparsely populated array. Whilst it's true that the
lookup time for a linked list is larger than for arrays, there's only
usually a maximum of 8 registers per frame. So the overhead isn't that
much of a concern.

As an excellent indicator of how much testing the DSP code gets, a couple
of rather glaring bugs in the DSP save/restore paths were found:
- In the DSP restore case a0 needs to be popped off before a0g,
or the value of a0g is clobbered by the MSB of a0 in the case
of sign extension.
- Beyond that, the save and restore orders were out of sync,
so this fixes that up as well. At the same time, we switch over
to using movs.l for both the save and restore of the general DSP
registers as opposed to using sts.l (which was initially put in
place to work around a bug in ancient binutils versions which
the kernel no longer supports).

DW_CFA_def_cfa_register as the DWARF spec specifically states that the
previous contents of cfa_offset should be used with the new
register. The reason that I thought cfa_offset should be reset to 0 was
because it was being assigned a bogus value prior to executing the
DW_CFA_def_cfa_register op. It turns out that the bogus cfa_offset value
came from interpreting .cfi_escape pseudo-ops (those used by the GNU
