Linus noticed that the 32-bit version of atomic64_read() was being overly complex with re-reading the value and doing a retry loop over that. Instead we can just rely on cmpxchg8b returning either the new value or returning the current value. We can use any 'old' value, which will be faster as it can be loaded via immediates. Using some value that is not equal to the real value in memory the instruction gets faster. This also has the advantage that the CPU could avoid dirtying the cacheline.

Linus noted that the atomic64_t primitives are all inlines currently which is crazy because these functions have a large register footprint anyway. Move them to a separate file: arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c Also, while at it, rename all uses of 'unsigned long long' to the much shorter u64. This makes the appearance of the prototypes a lot nicer - and it also uncovered a few bugs where (yet unused) API variants had 'long' as their return type instead of u64.

Locked instructions on two cache lines at once are painful. If atomic64_t uses two cache lines, my test program is 10x slower. The chance for that is significant: 4/32 or 12.5%. Make sure an atomic64_t is 8 bytes aligned.

Among perf annotate, perf report and perf top, we can find the common colored printing of percents according to the following rules: High overhead = > 5%, colored in red Mid overhead = > 0.5%, colored in green Low overhead = < 0.5%, default color Factorize these multiple checks in a single function named percent_color_fprintf() and also provide a get_percent_color() for sites which print percentages and other things at the same time.

Currently, the printing of callchains is done in a single vertical level, this is the "flat" mode: 8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string 4.19% copy_user_generic_string generic_file_aio_read do_sync_read vfs_read sys_pread64 system_call_fastpath pread64 This patch introduces a new "graph" mode which provides a hierarchical output of factorized paths recursively sorted: 8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string | |--4.31%-- generic_file_aio_read | do_sync_read | vfs_read | | | |--4.19%-- sys_pread64 | | system_call_fastpath | | pread64 | | | --0.12%-- sys_read | system_call_fastpath | __read | |--3.24%-- generic_file_buffered_write | __generic_file_aio_write_nolock | generic_file_aio_write | do_sync_write | reiserfs_file_write | vfs_write | | | |--3.14%-- sys_pwrite64 | | system_call_fastpath | | __pwrite64 | | | --0.10%-- sys_write [...] The command line has then changed. By providing the -c option, the callchain will output in the flat mode by default. But you can override it: perf report -c graph or perf report -c flat You can also pass the abreviated mode: perf report -c g or perf report -c gra will both make use of the graph mode.

There is no predefined macro to create an option that can have a custom value or a default one if none is given. This patch provides a new helper OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() which defines such kind of option. For example, considering an option -c, we want to get the default value in the following cases: perf command -c -d perf command -d -c And the foo value when it's given: perf command -c foo -d perf command -d -c foo That's also why PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT is extended here to support default values whatever the position of the option, not only in the end. Should it now be renamed to PARSE_OPT_ARG_DEFAULT ?

Iterating through children of a node in the callchain tree shows something that may be quite confusing at a first glance. The head is the children field of the parent and the list nodes are in the brothers field of the children. This is because the childs are linked to the parent as a list of "brothers" using the "children" list of the parent as a head: --------------- | Parent (head) |------------------------------------- --------------- | | | children | | | ----------- ----------- | | 1st child |---brother---| 2nd child |---brother----- ----------- ----------- This makes the following strange pattern often occuring: list_for_each_entry(child, &parent->children, brothers) { // do something with children } Abstract it to chain_for_each_child() to factorize and simplify this pattern.

Paul Mackerras authored
This reworks the parser for event descriptors to make it more consistent in what it accepts. It is now structured as a recursive descent parser for the following grammar: events ::= event ( ("," | space) space* event )* event ::= ( raw_event | numeric_event | symbolic_event | generic_hw_event ) [ event_modifier ] raw_event ::= "r" hex_number numeric_event ::= number ":" number number ::= decimal_number | "0x" hex_number | "0" octal_number symbolic_event ::= string_from_event_symbols_array generic_hw_event::= cache_type ( "-" ( cache_op | cache_result ) )* event_modifier ::= ":" ( "u" | "k" | "h" )+ with the extra restriction that you can have at most one cache_op and at most one cache_result. We pass the current string pointer by reference (i.e. as a const char **) to the various parsing functions so that they can advance the pointer to indicate how much they consumed. They return 0 if they didn't recognize the thing at the pointer or 1 if they did (and advance the pointer past it). This also fixes parse_aliases to take the longest matching alias from the table, not the first one. Otherwise "l1-data" would match the "l1-d" alias and the "ata" would not be consumed. This allows event modifiers indicating what processor modes to count in to be applied to any event, not just numeric events, and adds a ":h" modifier to indicate counting in hypervisor mode. Specifying ":u" now sets both exclude_kernel and exclude_hv, and so on. Multiple modes can be specified, e.g. ":uk" will count in user or hypervisor mode (i.e. only exclude_kernel will be set).

The symbol resolving has of course revealed some bugs in the callchain tree handling. This patch fixes some of them, including: - inherit the children from the parents while splitting a node - fix list range moving - fix indexes setting in callchains - create a child on the current node if the path doesn't match in the existent children (was only done on the root) - compare using symbols when possible so that we can match a function using any ip inside by referring to its start address. The practical effects are: - remove double callchains - fix upside down or any random order of callchains - fix wrong paths - fix bad hits and percentage accounts Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1246419315-9968-4-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Maximum file size for hostfs mounts defaults to 2GB, so bigger files cannot be read/written through hostfs. This patch initializes the maximum file size to MAX_LFS_SIZE.

Make sure we do not actually request the RTC IRQ until the device driver is fully ready to handle and process any interrupt. This way a spurious interrupt won't crash the system (which may happen if the bootloader was poking the RTC right before booting Linux).
