* perf trace/scripting: Remove extraneous header readTom Zanussi2010-03-041-1/+0

* perf, ARM: Modify kuser rmb() call to compile for Thumb-2Will Deacon2010-03-041-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Thumb-2 instruction set does not provide an encoding for sub pc, r0, #95 as present in the rmb() definition used by perf. This results in compilation failure when using a compiler targetting an instruction set other than ARM. This patch redefines rmb() for ARM by casting the address of the kuser helper to a function pointer, therefore getting the compiler to take care of making the call. Patch taken against tip/master.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, oprofile fails silently on platforms where a non-OS entity such as the system firmware "enables" and uses a performance counter. There is a warning in the code for this case. The warning indicates an already running counter. If oprofile doesn't collect data, then try using a different performance counter on your platform to monitor the desired event. Delete the counter from the desired event by editing the /usr/share/oprofile/<cpu_type>/<cpu>/events file. If the event cannot be monitored by any other counter, contact your hardware or BIOS vendor.

| | * oprofile/x86: implement randomization for IBS periodic op counterRobert Richter2010-02-261-6/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IBS selects an op (execution operation) for sampling by counting either cycles or dispatched ops. Better statistical samples can be produced by adding a software generated random offset to the periodic op counter value with each sample. This patch adds software randomization to the IBS periodic op counter. The lower 12 bits of the 20 bit counter are randomized. IbsOpCurCnt is initialized with a 12 bit random value. There is a work around if the hw can not write to IbsOpCurCnt. Then the lower 8 bits of the 16 bit IbsOpMaxCnt [15:0] value are randomized in the range of -128 to +127 by adding/subtracting an offset to the maximum count (IbsOpMaxCnt). The linear feedback shift register (LFSR) algorithm is used for pseudo-random number generation to have low impact to the memory system. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
| | * oprofile/x86: implement lsfr pseudo-random number generator for IBSSuravee Suthikulpanit2010-02-261-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) for pseudo-random number generation for IBS. For IBS measurements it would be good to minimize memory traffic in the interrupt handler since every access pollutes the data caches. Computing a maximal period LFSR just needs shifts and ORs. The LFSR method is good enough to randomize the ops at low overhead. 16 pseudo-random bits are enough for the implementation and it doesn't matter that the pattern repeats with a fairly short cycle. It only needs to break up (hard) periodic sampling behavior. The logic was designed by Paul Drongowski.

| | * oprofile/x86: implement IBS cpuid feature detectionRobert Richter2010-02-261-17/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds IBS feature detection using cpuid flags. An IBS capability mask is introduced to test for certain IBS features. The bit mask is the same as for IBS cpuid feature flags (Fn8000_001B_EAX), but bit 0 is used to indicate the existence of IBS. The patch also changes the handling of the IbsOpCntCtl bit (periodic op counter count control). The oprofilefs file for this feature (ibs_op/dispatched_ops) will be only exposed if the feature is available, also the default for the bit is set to count clock cycles. In general, the userland can detect the availability of a feature by checking for the corresponding file in oprofilefs. If it exists, the feature also exists. This may lead to a dynamic file layout depending on the cpu type with that the userland has to deal with. Current opcontrol is compatible. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
| | * oprofile/x86: remove node check in AMD IBS initializationRobert Richter2010-02-261-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Standard AMD systems have the same number of nodes as there are northbridge devices. However, there may kernel configurations (especially for 32 bit) or system setups exist, where the node number is different or it can not be detected properly. Thus the check is not reliable and may fail though IBS setup was fine. For this reason it is better to remove the check.

| * | perf lock: Drop the buffers multiplexing dependencyFrederic Weisbecker2010-02-271-2/+146

This is why we multiplex the lock events buffers. But the ordering is done from the kernel, on the tracing fast path, leading to high contention between cpus. Without multiplexing, the events appears in a weak order. If we have four events, each split per cpu, perf record will read the events buffers in the following order: [ CPU0 ev0, CPU0 ev1, CPU0 ev3, CPU0 ev4, CPU1 ev0, CPU1 ev0....] To handle a post processing reordering, we could just read and sort the whole in memory, but it just doesn't scale with high amounts of events: lock events can fill huge amounts in few times. Basically we need to sort in memory and find a "grace period" point when we know that a given slice of previously sorted events can be committed for post-processing, so that we can unload the memory usage step by step and keep a scalable sorting list. There is no strong rules about how to define such "grace period". What does this patch is: We define a FLUSH_PERIOD value that defines a grace period in seconds. We want to have a slice of events covering 2 * FLUSH_PERIOD in our sorted list. If FLUSH_PERIOD is big enough, it ensures every events that occured in the first half of the timeslice have all been buffered and there are none remaining and there won't be further to put inside this first timeslice. Then once we reach the 2 * FLUSH_PERIOD timeslice, we flush the first half to be gentle with the memory (the second half can still get new events in the middle, so wait another period to flush it) FLUSH_PERIOD is defined to 5 seconds. Say the first event started on time t0. We can safely assume that at the time we are processing events of t0 + 10 seconds, ther won't be anymore events to read from perf.data that occured between t0 and t0 + 5 seconds. Hence we can safely flush the first half. To point out funky bugs, we have a guardian that checks a new event timestamp is not below the last event's timestamp flushed and that displays a warning in this case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled. Even the tcp handshake was not taking place. This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source. I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7. With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan and non-vlan interfaces.

However, iwl_set_rxon_ht was being called before iwl_set_rxon_channel and thus HT40 could be broken unless another call to iwl_mac_config came in. This problem was recently introduced by "iwlwifi: Fix to set correct ht configuration" The particular setting in which I noticed this was monitor mode: iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor ifconfig wlan0 up ./iw wlan0 set channel 64 HT40- #./iw wlan0 set channel 64 HT40- tcpdump -i wlan0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO would only catch HT40 packets if I issued the IW command twice. From visual inspection, iwl_set_rxon_channel does not depend on iwl_set_rxon_ht, so simply swapping them should be safe and fixes this problem.

So Unconditional call to the netif_wake_queue() here is wrong. This might cause calling of start_xmit routine on txfull state and trigger BUG_ON. This bug does not happen when NAPI disabled. After txdone there must be at least one free tx slot. But with NAPI, this is not true anymore and the BUG_ON can hits on heavy load. In this driver NAPI was enabled on 2.6.33-rc1 so this is regression from 2.6.32 kernel.
