* perf_counter: powerpc: Change how processor-specific back-ends get selectedPaul Mackerras2009-06-181-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present, the powerpc generic (processor-independent) perf_counter code has list of processor back-end modules, and at initialization, it looks at the PVR (processor version register) and has a switch statement to select a suitable processor-specific back-end. This is going to become inconvenient as we add more processor-specific back-ends, so this inverts the order: now each back-end checks whether it applies to the current processor, and registers itself if so. Furthermore, instead of looking at the PVR, back-ends now check the cur_cpu_spec->oprofile_cpu_type string and match on that. Lastly, each back-end now specifies a name for itself so the core can print a nice message when a back-end registers itself. This doesn't provide any support for unregistering back-ends, but that wouldn't be hard to do and would allow back-ends to be modules.

* perf_counter: powerpc: Use unsigned long for register and constraint valuesPaul Mackerras2009-06-181-21/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the powerpc perf_counter back-end to use unsigned long types for hardware register values and for the value/mask pairs used in checking whether a given set of events fit within the hardware constraints. This is in preparation for adding support for the PMU on some 32-bit powerpc processors. On 32-bit processors the hardware registers are only 32 bits wide, and the PMU structure is generally simpler, so 32 bits should be ample for expressing the hardware constraints. On 64-bit processors, unsigned long is 64 bits wide, so using unsigned long vs. u64 (unsigned long long) makes no actual difference. This makes some other very minor changes: adjusting whitespace to line things up in initialized structures, and simplifying some code in hw_perf_disable().

* powerpc, perf_counter: Fix performance counter event typesJaswinder Singh Rajput2009-06-121-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sachin Sant reported these compiler errors: CC arch/powerpc/kernel/power7-pmu.o arch/powerpc/kernel/power7-pmu.c:297: error: PERF_COUNT_CPU_CYCLES undeclared here (not in a function) Which happened because a last-minute rename of symbols crossed with the Power7 support patch. Fix this by using the new symbol names.

* perf_counter: Rename L2 to LL cachePeter Zijlstra2009-06-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The top (fastest) and last level (biggest) caches are the most interesting ones, performance wise.

* perf_counter: powerpc: Implement generalized cache events for POWER processorsPaul Mackerras2009-06-111-0/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds tables of event codes for the generalized cache events for all the currently supported powerpc processors: POWER{4,5,5+,6,7} and PPC970*, plus powerpc-specific code to use these tables when a generalized cache event is requested.

* perf_counters: powerpc: Add support for POWER7 processorsPaul Mackerras2009-06-111-0/+316
This adds the back-end for the PMU on POWER7 processors. POWER7 has 4 fully-programmable counters and two fixed-function counters (which do respect the freeze conditions, can generate interrupts, and are writable, unlike PMC5/6 on POWER5+/6).
