The legacy x86 nmi watchdog code was removed with the implementation of the perf based nmi watchdog. This broke Oprofile's nmi timer mode. To run nmi timer mode we relied on a continuous ticking nmi source which the nmi watchdog provided. The nmi tick was no longer available and current watchdog can not be used anymore since it runs with very long periods in the range of seconds. This patch reimplements the nmi timer mode using a perf counter nmi source. V2: * removing pr_info() * fix undefined reference to `__udivdi3' for 32 bit build * fix section mismatch of .cpuinit.data:nmi_timer_cpu_nb * removed nmi timer setup in arch/x86 * implemented function stubs for op_nmi_init/exit() * made code more readable in oprofile_init() V3: * fix architectural initialization in oprofile_init() * fix CONFIG_OPROFILE_NMI_TIMER dependencies Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing

feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters
|

are provided by the hardware. This is realized by switching

between events at an user specified time interval.

Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and

execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
|
|
a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
|

for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.

help

If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
|
|
the kernel will compile trace point locations with just a
|
|
nop instruction. When trace points are enabled, the nop will
|
|
be converted to a jump to the trace function. This technique
|
|
lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction of the
|
|
processor.

On i386, options added to the compiler flags may increase

the size of the kernel slightly.

Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
|
|
without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
|
|
unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
|
|
unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
|
|
handler.)
|
|
|
|
This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
|
|
perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
|
|
code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
|
|
drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
|
|
problems with received packets if doing so would not help
|
|
much.

See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
|

information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
