This patch adds the SPU event based profiling funcitonality for the IBM Cell processor. Previously, the CELL OProfile kernel code supported PPU event, PPU cycle profiling and SPU cycle profiling. The addition of SPU event profiling allows the users to identify where in their SPU code various SPU evnets are occuring. This should help users further identify issues with their code. Note, SPU profiling has some limitations due to HW constraints. Only one event at a time can be used for profiling and SPU event profiling must be time sliced across all of the SPUs in a node. The patch adds a new arch specific file to the OProfile file system. The file has bit 0 set to indicate that the kernel supports SPU event profiling. The user tool must check this file/bit to make sure the kernel supports SPU event profiling before trying to do SPU event profiling. The user tool check is part of the user tool patch for SPU event profiling. Signed-off-by: Carl Love <carll@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

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>

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>

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().

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>

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>

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>

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.

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>

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().

there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28: config X86_PTRACE_BTS bool "Branch Trace Store" it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into a new task without clearing it. Fixes exist but they came too late: c5dee617: x86, bts: memory accounting bf53de90: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
