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. )

This adds support for the performance monitor hardware on the
MPC7450 family of processors (7450, 7451, 7455, 7447/7457, 7447A,
7448), used in the later Apple G4 powermacs/powerbooks and other
machines. These machines have 6 hardware counters with a unique
set of events which can be counted on each counter, with some
events being available on multiple counters.
Raw event codes for these processors are (PMC << 8) + PMCSEL.
If PMC is non-zero then the event is that selected by the given
PMCSEL value for that PMC (hardware counter). If PMC is zero
then the event selected is one of the low-numbered ones that are
common to several PMCs. In this case PMCSEL must be <= 22 and
the event is what that PMCSEL value would select on PMC1 (but
it may be placed any other PMC that has the same event for that
PMCSEL value).
For events that count cycles or occurrences that exceed a threshold,
the threshold requested can be specified in the 0x3f000 bits of the
raw event codes. If the event uses the threshold multiplier bit
and that bit should be set, that is indicated with the 0x40000 bit
of the raw event code.
This fills in some of the generic cache events. Unfortunately there
are quite a few blank spaces in the table, partly because these
processors tend to count cache hits rather than cache accesses.

This enables the perf_counter subsystem on 32-bit powerpc. Since we
don't have any support for hardware counters on 32-bit powerpc yet,
only software counters can be used.
Besides selecting HAVE_PERF_COUNTERS for 32-bit powerpc as well as
64-bit, the main thing this does is add an implementation of
set_perf_counter_pending(). This needs to arrange for
perf_counter_do_pending() to be called when interrupts are enabled.
Rather than add code to local_irq_restore as 64-bit does, the 32-bit
set_perf_counter_pending() generates an interrupt by setting the
decrementer to 1 so that a decrementer interrupt will become pending
in 1 or 2 timebase ticks (if a decrementer interrupt isn't already
pending). When interrupts are enabled, timer_interrupt() will be
called, and some new code in there calls perf_counter_do_pending().
We use a per-cpu array of flags to indicate whether we need to call
perf_counter_do_pending() or not.
This introduces a couple of new Kconfig symbols: PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT,
which is selected by processor families for which we have hardware PMU
support (currently only PPC64), and PPC_PERF_CTRS, which enables the
powerpc-specific perf_counter back-end.

commit 5b7c3c918c9c26c50d220b2b50359208cb5a1dbe introduced an invalid
construct in our CPU selection. This caused warnings, though it still
appeared to do the right thing.
This fixes it properly by having separate formal definitions of
PPC_BOOK3S_32 and PPC_BOOK3S_64 and one statement defining
PPC_BOOK3S based on the two above.

CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM is a remain of the pre-powerpc days and isn't
really meaningful anymore. It was basically equivalent to PPC64 || 6xx.
This removes it along with the following changes:
- 32-bit platforms that relied on PPC32 && PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now rely
on 6xx which is what they want anyway.
- A new symbol, PPC_BOOK3S, is defined that represent compliance with
the "Server" variant of the architecture. This is set when either 6xx
or PPC64 is set and open the door for future BOOK3E 64-bit.
- 64-bit platforms that relied on PPC64 && PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now use
PPC64 && PPC_BOOK3S
- A separate and selectable CONFIG_PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE option is now
used to control the use of prom_init.c

The Power ISA 2.06 spec introduces a standard MMU programming model that
is based on the Freescale Book-E MMU programing model. The Freescale
version is pretty backwards compatiable with the ISA 2.06 definition so
we are starting to refactor some of the Freescale code so it can be
easily shared.

This adds support for 16k and 64k page sizes on PowerPC 44x processors.
The PGDIR table is much smaller than a page when using 16k or 64k
pages (512 and 32 bytes respectively) so we allocate the PGDIR with
kzalloc() instead of __get_free_pages().
One PTE table covers rather a large memory area when using 16k or 64k
pages (32MB or 512MB respectively), so we can easily put FIXMAP and
PKMAP in the area covered by one PTE table.

This rearranges a bit of code, and adds support for
36-bit physical addressing for configs that use a
hashed page table. The 36b physical support is not
enabled by default on any config - it must be
explicitly enabled via the config system.
This patch *only* expands the page table code to accomodate
large physical addresses on 32-bit systems and enables the
PHYS_64BIT config option for 86xx. It does *not*
allow you to boot a board with more than about 3.5GB of
RAM - for that, SWIOTLB support is also required (and
coming soon).

Choosing PCI or not at config time is allowed on some
platforms via an if expression in arch/powerpc/Kconfig.
To add a new platform with PCI support selectable at
config time, you must change the if expression. This
patch makes this easier by changing:
bool "PCI support" if <long expression>
to
bool "PCI support" if PPC_PCI_CHOICE
and adding select PPC_PCI_CHOICE to all the config nodes that
were previously in the PCI if expression.
Platforms with unconditional PCI support continue to
just select PCI in their config nodes.

At present, if we have a kernel with a 64kB page size, and some
process maps something that has to be mapped with 4kB pages (such as a
cache-inhibited mapping on POWER5+, or the eHCA infiniband queue-pair
pages), we change the process to use 4kB pages everywhere. This hurts
the performance of HPC programs that access eHCA from userspace.
With this patch, the kernel will only demote the slice(s) containing
the eHCA or cache-inhibited mappings, leaving the remaining slices
able to use 64kB hardware pages.
This also changes the slice_get_unmapped_area code so that it is
willing to place a 64k-page mapping into (or across) a 4k-page slice
if there is no better alternative, i.e. if the program specified
MAP_FIXED or if there is not sufficient space available in slices that
are either empty or already have 64k-page mappings in them.
