      powerpc/spufs: Use state_mutex for switch_log locking, and prevent multiple openers · f5ed0eb6
      Jeremy Kerr authored 
      Currently, we use ctx->mapping_lock and ctx->switch_log->lock for the
context switch log. The mapping lock only prevents concurrent open()s,
so we require the switch_lock->lock for reads.

Since writes to the switch log buffer occur on context switches, we're
better off synchronising with the state_mutex, which is held during a
switch. Since we're serialised througout the buffer reads and writes,
we can use the state mutex to protect open and release too, and
can now kfree() the log buffer on release. This allows us to perform
the switch log notify without taking any extra locks.

Because the buffer is only present while the file is open, we can use
it to prevent multiple simultaneous openers.

      powerpc/spufs: sputrace: Don't block until the read buffer is full · e869446b
      Jeremy Kerr authored 
      Currently, read() on the sputrace buffer will only return data when
the user buffer is exhausted. This may mean that we never see the
end of the event log, unless we read() with exactly the right-sized
buffer.

This change makes sputrace_read not block if we have data ready to
return.

      powerpc/spufs: sputrace: Only enable logging on open(), prevent multiple openers · baf39927
      Jeremy Kerr authored 
      Currently, sputrace will start logging to the event buffer before the
log buffer has been open()ed. This results in a heap of "lost samples"
warnings if the sputrace file hasn't yet been opened.

Since the buffer is reset on open() anyway, there's no need to enable
logging when no-one has opened the log.

Because open clears the log, make it return EBUSY for mutliple open
calls.
