2011-11-04oprofile, x86: Reimplement nmi timer mode using perf eventRobert Richter1-0/+9
The legacy x86 nmi watchdog code was removed with the implementation of the perf based nmi watchdog. This broke Oprofile's nmi timer mode. To run nmi timer mode we relied on a continuous ticking nmi source which the nmi watchdog provided. The nmi tick was no longer available and current watchdog can not be used anymore since it runs with very long periods in the range of seconds. This patch reimplements the nmi timer mode using a perf counter nmi source. V2: * removing pr_info() * fix undefined reference to `__udivdi3' for 32 bit build * fix section mismatch of .cpuinit.data:nmi_timer_cpu_nb * removed nmi timer setup in arch/x86 * implemented function stubs for op_nmi_init/exit() * made code more readable in oprofile_init() V3: * fix architectural initialization in oprofile_init() * fix CONFIG_OPROFILE_NMI_TIMER dependencies Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2010-10-12oprofile: disable write access to oprofilefs while profiler is runningRobert Richter1-1/+1
Oprofile counters are setup when profiling is disabled. Thus, writing to oprofilefs has no immediate effect. Changes are updated only after oprofile is reenabled. To keep userland and kernel states synchronized, we now allow configuration of oprofile only if profiling is disabled. In this case it checks if the profiler is running and then disables write access to oprofilefs by returning -EBUSY. The change should be backward compatible with current oprofile userland daemon.

2010-03-02oprofile: convert oprofile from timer_hook to hrtimerMartin Schwidefsky1-1/+2
Oprofile is currently broken on systems running with NOHZ enabled. A maximum of 1 tick is accounted via the timer_hook if a cpu sleeps for a longer period of time. This does bad things to the percentages in the profiler output. To solve this problem convert oprofile to use a restarting hrtimer instead of the timer_hook.

2009-07-20oprofile: Rename variable timeout_jiffies and move to oprofile_files.cRobert Richter1-1/+2
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: Implement performance counter multiplexingJason Yeh1-0/+2
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.

2008-09-24Revert "Oprofile Multiplexing Patch"Robert Richter1-3/+1
Reverting commit 1a960b402a51d80abf54e3f8e4972374ffe5f22d for the main branch. Multiplexing will be tracked on a separate feature branch. Conflicts: arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c
2008-07-26Oprofile Multiplexing PatchJason Yeh1-1/+3
This patch introduces multiplexing support for the Oprofile kernel module. It basically adds a new function pointer in oprofile_operator allowing each architecture to supply its callback to switch between different sets of event when the timer expires. Userspace tools can modify the time slice through /dev/oprofile/time_slice. It also modifies the number of counters exposed to the userspace through /dev/oprofile. For example, the number of counters for AMD CPUs are changed to 32 and multiplexed in the sets of 4.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+39
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
