2009-07-20oprofile: Adding switch counter to oprofile statistic variablesRobert Richter3-9/+8
This patch moves the multiplexing switch counter from x86 code to common oprofile statistic variables. Now the value will be available and usable for all architectures. The initialization and incrementation also moved to common code. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-07-20oprofile: Grouping multiplexing code in oprof.cRobert Richter1-51/+49
This patch moves multiplexing code to a single section of code. This reduces the use of #ifdefs especially within functions. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-07-20oprofile: Remove oprofile_multiplexing_init()Robert Richter2-14/+2
oprofile_multiplexing_init() can be removed when moving the initialization of oprofile_time_slice to oprofile_create_files(). Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-07-20oprofile: Rename variable timeout_jiffies and move to oprofile_files.cRobert Richter3-8/+9
This patch renames timeout_jiffies into an oprofile specific name. The macro MULTIPLEXING_TIMER_DEFAULT is changed too. Also, since this variable is controlled using oprofilefs, its definition is moved to oprofile_files.c. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-07-20oprofile: oprofile_set_timeout(), return with error for invalid argsRobert Richter1-3/+8
Return with -EINVAL for invalid parameters instead of setting the default value in oprofile_set_timeout(). Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2009-07-20oprofile: Implement performance counter multiplexingJason Yeh4-0/+133
The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters are provided by the hardware. This is realized by switching between events at an user specified time interval. A new file (/dev/oprofile/time_slice) is added for the user to specify the timer interval in ms. If the number of events to profile is higher than the number of hardware counters available, the patch will schedule a work queue that switches the event counter and re-writes the different sets of values into it. The switching mechanism needs to be implemented for each architecture to support multiplexing. This patch only implements AMD CPU support, but multiplexing can be easily extended for other models and architectures. There are follow-on patches that rework parts of this patch.

2009-06-11x86/oprofile: introduce oprofile_add_data64()Robert Richter1-0/+15
The IBS implemention writes 64 bit register values to the cpu buffer by writing two 32 values using oprofile_add_data(). This patch introduces oprofile_add_data64() to write a single 64 bit value to the buffer. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

2009-05-07oprofile: fix cpu buffer sizeRobert Richter1-2/+6
The unit of oprofile_cpu_buffer_size is in samples, but was allocated in bytes. This led to the allocation of too small cpu buffers. This patch recalculates the buffer size in bytes taking also the ring_buffer_event header size into account.

2009-01-07oprofile: remove #ifdef CONFIG_OPROFILE_IBS in non-ibs codeRobert Richter2-10/+0
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>
2009-01-07oprofile: use new data sample format for ibsRobert Richter3-59/+35
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>
2009-01-07oprofile: add op_cpu_buffer_get_data()Robert Richter2-2/+24

2009-01-07oprofile: add op_cpu_buffer_add_data()Robert Richter2-1/+13
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>
2009-01-07oprofile: rework implementation of cpu buffer eventsRobert Richter3-91/+102
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.

2009-01-07oprofile: add op_cpu_buffer_write_reserve()Robert Richter2-15/+37
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>

2008-12-31shrink struct dentryNick Piggin1-1/+1
struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's sad to see it going neglected. With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here (64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab. I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on... I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant: why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection. At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it would require 4. I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are <= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for 33-36 byte names. Performance is a feature...
