| | | | | | | | | | Commit 38516ab59fbc5b3bb278cf5e1fe2867c70cff32e ("tracing: Let tracepoints have data passed to tracepoint callbacks") requires this fixup to the powerpc code.

* powerpc/pseries: Hypervisor call tracepoints hcall_stats touchupWill Schmidt2010-02-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | The tb_total and purr_total values reported via the hcall_stats code should be cumulative, rather than being replaced by the latest delta tb or purr value.

* powerpc: tracing: Give hypervisor call tracepoints access to argumentsAnton Blanchard2009-10-281-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | While most users of the hcall tracepoints will only want the opcode and return code, some will want all the arguments. To avoid the complexity of using varargs we pass a pointer to the register save area, which contains all the arguments.

* powerpc: tracing: Add hypervisor call tracepointsAnton Blanchard2009-10-281-0/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add hcall_entry and hcall_exit tracepoints. This replaces the inline assembly HCALL_STATS code and converts it to use the new tracepoints. To keep the disabled case as quick as possible, we embed a status word in the TOC so we can get at it with a single load. By doing so we keep the overhead at a minimum. Time taken for a null hcall: No tracepoint code: 135.79 cycles Disabled tracepoints: 137.95 cycles For reference, before this patch enabling HCALL_STATS resulted in a null hcall of 201.44 cycles!

* seq_file: constify seq_operationsJames Morris2009-09-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make all seq_operations structs const, to help mitigate against revectoring user-triggerable function pointers. This is derived from the grsecurity patch, although generated from scratch because it's simpler than extracting the changes from there.

* [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2Arjan van de Ven2007-02-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

* [POWERPC] Fix bugs in the hypervisor call stats codeAnton Blanchard2007-01-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were a few issues with the HCALL_STATS code: - PURR cpu feature checks were backwards - We iterated one entry off the end of the hcall_stats array - Remove dead update_hcall_stats() function prototype I noticed one thing while debugging, and that is we call H_ENTER (to set up the MMU hashtable in early init) before we have done the cpu fixups. This means we will execute the PURR SPR reads even on a CPU that isnt capable of it. I wonder if we can move the CPU feature fixups earlier.

* [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_privateTheodore Ts'o2006-09-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat in the VFS inode structure). This patch: The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union, which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where the union will actually be used.

* [POWERPC] powerpc: Instrument Hypervisor CallsMike Kravetz2006-09-131-0/+129
Add instrumentation for hypervisor calls on pseries. Call statistics include number of calls, wall time and cpu cycles (if available) and are made available via debugfs. Instrumentation code is behind the HCALL_STATS config option and has no impact if not enabled. Signed-off-by: Mike Kravetz <kravetz@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
