      perf_counter: Allow software counters to count while task is not running · 880ca15a
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This changes perf_swcounter_match() so that per-task software
counters can count events that occur while their associated
task is not running.  This will allow us to use the generic
software counter code for counting task migrations, which can
occur while the task is not scheduled in.

To do this, we have to distinguish between the situations where
the counter is inactive because its task has been scheduled
out, and those where the counter is inactive because it is part
of a group that was not able to go on the PMU.  In the former
case we want the counter to count, but not in the latter case.
If the context is active, we have the latter case.  If the
context is inactive then we need to know whether the counter
was counting when the context was last active, which we can
determine by comparing its ->tstamp_stopped timestamp with the
context's timestamp.

This also folds three checks in perf_swcounter_match, checking
perf_event_raw(), perf_event_type() and perf_event_id()
individually, into a single 64-bit comparison on
counter->hw_event.config, as an optimization.

      perf_counter: Provide functions for locking and pinning the context for a task · 25346b93
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This abstracts out the code for locking the context associated
with a task.  Because the context might get transferred from
one task to another concurrently, we have to check after
locking the context that it is still the right context for the
task and retry if not.  This was open-coded in
find_get_context() and perf_counter_init_task().

This adds a further function for pinning the context for a
task, i.e. marking it so it can't be transferred to another
task.  This adds a 'pin_count' field to struct
perf_counter_context to indicate that a context is pinned,
instead of the previous method of setting the parent_gen count
to all 1s.  Pinning the context with a pin_count is easier to
undo and doesn't require saving the parent_gen value.  This
also adds a perf_unpin_context() to undo the effect of
perf_pin_task_context() and changes perf_counter_init_task to
use it.

      perf_counter tools: Fix unknown command help text · 27b9613b
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Arjan reported this error when entering an unknown command to perf:

  $ perf start
  fatal: Uh oh. Your system reports no Git commands at all.

The Git code expects there to be perf-* commands - but since Perf
is a 'pure' utility with no dash commands anymore, this old assumption
of Git does not hold anymore. Remove that error check.

      perf_counter tools: Generate per command manpages (and pdf/html, etc.) · c1c2365a
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Import Git's nice .txt => {man/html/pdf} generation machinery.

Fix various errors in the Documentation/perf*.txt description as well.

Also fix a bug in builtin-help: we'd map 'perf help top' to 'perftop'
if only the 'perf' binary is in the default PATH - confusing the manpage
logic. I dont fully understand why Git did it this way - but i suppose
it's a migration artifact from their migration from standalone git-xyz
commands to 'git xyz' commands. The perf tools were always using the
modern form so it's not an issue there.

      perf_counter tools: Add locking to perf top

We need to protect the active_symbols list as two threads change it:
the main thread adding entries to the head and the display thread
decaying entries from any place in the list.

Also related: take a snapshot of syme->count[0] before using it to
calculate the weight and to show the same number used in this calc when
displaying the symbol usage.
