2009-01-07oprofile: make new cpu buffer functions part of the apiRobert Richter
This patch creates the new functions oprofile_write_reserve() oprofile_add_data() oprofile_write_commit() and makes them part of the oprofile api. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-01-07oprofile: remove #ifdef CONFIG_OPROFILE_IBS in non-ibs codeRobert Richter
The ifdefs can be removed since the code is no longer ibs specific and can be used for other purposes as well. IBS specific code is only in op_model_amd.c. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-01-07ring_buffer: fix ring_buffer_event_length()Robert Richter
Function ring_buffer_event_length() provides an interface to detect the length of data stored in an entry. However, the length contains offsets depending on the internal usage. This makes it unusable. This patch fixes this and now ring_buffer_event_length() returns the alligned length that has been used in ring_buffer_lock_reserve().

2009-01-07oprofile: use new data sample format for ibsRobert Richter
The new ring buffer implementation allows the storage of samples with different size. This patch implements the usage of the new sample format to store ibs samples in the cpu buffer. Until now, writing to the cpu buffer could lead to incomplete sampling sequences since IBS samples were transfered in multiple samples. Due to a full buffer, data could be lost at any time. This can't happen any more since the complete data is reserved in advance and then stored in a single sample. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-01-07oprofile: add op_cpu_buffer_get_data()Robert Richter
This function provides access to attached data of a sample. It returns the size of data including the current value. Also, op_cpu_buffer_get_size() is available to check if there is data attached. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-01-07oprofile: add op_cpu_buffer_add_data()Robert Richter
This function can be used to attach data to a sample. It returns the remaining free buffer size that has been reserved with op_cpu_buffer_write_reserve(). Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-01-07oprofile: rework implementation of cpu buffer eventsRobert Richter
Special events such as task or context switches are marked with an escape code in the cpu buffer followed by an event code or a task identifier. There is one escape code per event. To make escape sequences also available for data samples the internal cpu buffer format must be changed. The current implementation does not allow the extension of event codes since this would lead to collisions with the task identifiers. To avoid this, this patch introduces an event mask that allows the storage of multiple events with one escape code. Now, task identifiers are stored in the data section of the sample. The implementation also allows the usage of custom data in a sample. As a side effect the new code is much more readable and easier to understand.

2009-01-07oprofile: modify op_cpu_buffer_read_entry()Robert Richter
This implements the support of samples with attached data. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-01-07oprofile: add op_cpu_buffer_write_reserve()Robert Richter
This function prepares the cpu buffer to write a sample. Struct op_entry is used during operations on the ring buffer while struct op_sample contains the data that is stored in the ring buffer. Struct entry can be uninitialized. The function reserves a data array that is specified by size. Use op_cpu_buffer_write_commit() after preparing the sample. In case of errors a null pointer is returned, otherwise the pointer to the sample. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

2009-01-07oprofile: rename add_sample() in cpu_buffer.cRobert Richter
Rename the fucntion to op_add_sample() since there is a collision with another one with the same name in buffer_sync.c. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-01-07oprofile: rename variable ibs_allowed to has_ibs in op_model_amd.cRobert Richter

Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-01-07oprofile: remove backtrace code for ibsRobert Richter
This code is broken since a TRACE_BEGIN_CODE is never sent to the daemon. The data becomes corrupt since the backtrace is interpreted as ibs sample. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

2008-12-29x86/oprofile: fix pci_dev use count for AMD northbridge devicesRobert Richter
This patch fixes the PCI device use count for AMD northbridge devices. In case of an IBS LVT initialization failure, the PCI device is released now by calling pci_dev_put(). If there are no initialization errors, the devices are released in pci_get_device() while iterating. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

2008-12-12oprofile: select RING_BUFFERIngo Molnar
Impact: build fix OProfile now depends on the ring buffer infrastructure: arch/x86/oprofile/built-in.o: In function `oprofile_add_ibs_sample': : undefined reference to `ring_buffer_unlock_commit' Select TRACING and RING_BUFFER when oprofile is enabled. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-12ring_buffer: adding EXPORT_SYMBOLsRobert Richter
I added EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPLs for all functions part of the API (ring_buffer.h). This is required since oprofile is using the ring buffer and the compilation as modules would fail otherwise. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-10oprofile: fix lost sample counterRobert Richter
The number of lost samples could be greater than the number of received samples. This patches fixes this. The implementation introduces return values for add_sample() and add_code(). Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2008-12-10oprofile: remove nr_available_slots()Robert Richter
This function is no longer available after the port to the new ring buffer. Its removal can lead to incomplete sampling sequences since IBS samples and backtraces are transfered in multiple samples. Due to a full buffer, samples could be lost any time. The userspace daemon has to live with such incomplete sampling sequences as long as the data within one sample is consistent. This will be fixed by changing the internal buffer data there all data of one IBS sample or a backtrace is packed in a single ring buffer entry. This is possible since the new ring buffer supports variable data size. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2008-12-10oprofile: port to the new ring_bufferRobert Richter
This patch replaces the current oprofile cpu buffer implementation with the ring buffer provided by the tracing framework. The motivation here is to leave the pain of implementing ring buffers to others. Oh, no, there are more advantages. Main reason is the support of different sample sizes that could be stored in the buffer. Use cases for this are IBS and Cell spu profiling. Using the new ring buffer ensures valid and complete samples and allows copying the cpu buffer stateless without knowing its content. Second it will use generic kernel API and also reduce code size. And hopefully, there are less bugs. Since the new tracing ring buffer implementation uses spin locks to protect the buffer during read/write access, it is difficult to use the buffer in an NMI handler. In this case, writing to the buffer by the NMI handler (x86) could occur also during critical sections when reading the buffer. To avoid this, there are 2 buffers for independent read and write access. Read access is in process context only, write access only in the NMI handler. If the read buffer runs empty, both buffers are swapped atomically. There is potentially a small window during swapping where the buffers are disabled and samples could be lost. Using 2 buffers is a little bit overhead, but the solution is clear and does not require changes in the ring buffer implementation. It can be changed to a single buffer solution when the ring buffer access is implemented as non-locking atomic code. The new buffer requires more size to store the same amount of samples because each sample includes an u32 header. Also, there is more code to execute for buffer access. Nonetheless, the buffer implementation is proven in the ftrace environment and worth to use also in oprofile. Patches that changes the internal IBS buffer usage will follow.
