When two (or more) contexts output to the same buffer, it is possible to observe half written output. Suppose we have CPU0 doing perf_counter_mmap(), CPU1 doing perf_counter_overflow(). If CPU1 does a wakeup and exposes head to user-space, then CPU2 can observe the data CPU0 is still writing. [ Impact: fix occasionally corrupted profiling records ] Signed-off-by:

Standardize on explicitly mentioning '_mask' in fields that are not plain flags but masks. This avoids typos like: if (cpuc->used) (which could easily slip through review unnoticed), while if a typo looks like this: if (cpuc->used_mask) it might get noticed during review.

A regression was introduced in hg changeset 33810c734a0d, which resulted in a kernel panic whenever the device was disconnected from USB. The call to 4l2_device_register() was overwriting the pointer for usb_set_intfdata(), so when au0828_usb_disconnect() was called, the usb_get_intfdata() returned a pointer to the v4l2_device instead of the au0828_dev structure.

Currently drivers/media drivers are linked very early - directly after base, block, misc, and mfd and before ata, scsi, ide, input, firewire, usb, and i2c. This breaks static build of video4linux drivers, that use generic CPU i2c adapter drivers and the v4l2-subdev subsystem, because during video4linux probing the v4l2-subdev core requires a struct i2c_adapter context, which cannot be satisfied before the i2c subsystem is initialised. Moving drivers/media after drivers/i2c fixes this problem. The best way to trigger action is by submitting a patch:-) So, let's see what comes out of it - on the one hand I don't see any reason why media has to be linked this early, and nobody was able to give me one yesterday as this problem has been discussed on linux-media, OTOH, maybe indeed it would be better to move i2c the whole way up above media, but that'd be much bigger of a change, I think. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlSigned-off-by:

POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled. Signed-off-by:

To check on AMD cpus if a counter overflows, the upper bit of the raw counter value must be checked. This value is already internally available in x86_perf_counter_update().

This patch implements the interrupt handler for AMD performance counters. In difference to the Intel pmu, there is no single status register and also there are no fixed counters. This makes the handler very different and it is useful to make the handler vendor specific. To check if a counter is overflowed the upper bit of the counter is checked. Only counters where the active bit is set are checked. With this patch throttling is enabled for AMD performance counters. This patch also reenables Linux performance counters on AMD cpus.

Some functions are only called if the pmu was proper initialized. That initalization checks can be removed. The way to check initialization changed too. Now, the pointer to the interrupt handler is checked. If it exists the pmu is initialized. This also removes a static variable and uses struct x86_pmu as only data source for the check.

There is vendor specific code in generic x86 code, and there is vendor specific code that could be generic. This patch introduces x86_pmu_enable_counter() for x86 generic code. Fixed counter code for Intel is moved to Intel only functions. In the end, checks and calls via function pointers were reduced to the necessary. Also, the internal function i/f changed.
