This patch adds a check for the availability of a counter. A virtual
counter is used only if its physical counter is not reserved.

This patch moves the multiplexing switch counter from x86 code to

Models that do not yet support counter multiplexing have to setup
num_virt_counters. This patch implements the setup from num_counters
if num_virt_counters is not set. Thus, num_virt_counters must be setup
only for multiplexing support.

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.
A new file (/dev/oprofile/time_slice) is added for the user to specify
the timer interval in ms. If the number of events to profile is higher
than the number of hardware counters available, the patch will
schedule a work queue that switches the event counter and re-writes
the different sets of values into it. The switching mechanism needs to
be implemented for each architecture to support multiplexing. This
patch only implements AMD CPU support, but multiplexing can be easily
extended for other models and architectures.
There are follow-on patches that rework parts of this patch.

This patch introduces op_x86_get_ctrl() to calculate the value of the
performance control register. This is generic code usable for all
models. The event and reserved masks are model specific and stored in
struct op_x86_model_spec. 64 bit MSR functions are used now. The patch
removes many hard to read macros used for ctrl calculation.
The function op_x86_get_ctrl() is common code and the first step to
further merge performance counter implementations for x86 models.

The registers are about the same as other Family 6 CPUs
so we only need to add detection.
I'm not completely happy with calling Nehalem Core i7 because
there will be undoubtedly other Nehalem based CPUs
in the future with different marketing names, but it's
the best we got for now.
Requires updated oprofile userland for the new event files.
If you don't want to update right now you can also use
oprofile.force_arch_perfmon=1 (added in the next patch) with 0.9.4

This re-adds the force_arch_perfmon option that was in the original
arch perfmon patchkit. Originally this was rejected in favour
of a generalized perfmon=name option, but it turned out implementing
the later in a reliable way is hard (and it would have been easy
to crash the kernel if a user gets it wrong)
But now Atom and Core i7 support being readded a user would
need to update their oprofile userland to beyond 0.9.4 to use oprofile again
on Atom or Core i7.
To avoid this problem readd the force_arch_perfmon option.

Hi Alan,
Looking at the kernel driver code for oprofile it can return the "i386/p6" for
the cpu_type. However, looking at the user-space oprofile code there isn't the
matching entry in libop/op_cpu_type.c or the events/unit_mask files in
events/i386 directory.
The Intel AP-485 says this is a "Intel Pentium M processor model D". Seems like
the oprofile kernel driver should be identifying the processor as "i386/p6_mobile"
The driver identification code doesn't look quite right in nmi_init.c
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git;a=blob;f=arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c;h=022cd41ea9b4106e5884277096e80e9088a7c7a9;hb=HEAD
has:
409 case 10 ... 13:
410 *cpu_type = "i386/p6";
411 break;
Referring to the Intel AP-485:
case 10 and 11 should produce "i386/piii"
case 13 should produce "i386/p6_mobile"
I didn't see anything for case 12.
Something like the attached patch. I don't have a celeron machine to verify that
changes in this area of the kernel fix thing.

Newer Intel CPUs (Core1+) have support for architectural
events described in CPUID 0xA. See the IA32 SDM Vol3b.18 for details.
The advantage of this is that it can be done without knowing about
the specific CPU, because the CPU describes by itself what
performance events are supported. This is only a fallback
because only a limited set of 6 events are supported.
This allows to do profiling on Nehalem and on Atom systems
(later not tested)
This patch implements support for that in oprofile's Intel
Family 6 profiling module. It also has the advantage of supporting
an arbitary number of events now as reported by the CPU.
Also allow arbitary counter widths >32bit while we're at it.
Requires a patched oprofile userland to support the new
architecture.

This essentially reverts Linus' earlier 4b9f12a3779c548b68bc9af7d94030868ad3aa1b
commit. Nehalem is not core_2, so it shouldn't be reported as such.
However with the earlier arch perfmon patch it will fall back to
arch perfmon mode now, so there is no need to fake it as core_2.
The only drawback is that Linus will need to patch the arch perfmon
support into his oprofile binary now, but I think he can do that.

The usual problem: the suspend function when interrupts are
already disabled calls smp_call_function which is not allowed with
interrupt off. But at this point all the other CPUs should be already
down anyways, so it should be enough to just drop that.
This patch should fix that problem at least by fixing cpu hotplug&

This patch introduces multiplexing support for the Oprofile kernel
module. It basically adds a new function pointer in oprofile_operator
allowing each architecture to supply its callback to switch between
different sets of event when the timer expires. Userspace tools can
modify the time slice through /dev/oprofile/time_slice.
It also modifies the number of counters exposed to the userspace through
/dev/oprofile. For example, the number of counters for AMD CPUs are
changed to 32 and multiplexed in the sets of 4.
