Robert Richter 7df01d96b2 oprofile: disable write access to oprofilefs while profiler is running
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.

Will Deacon 979048e1f2 oprofile: don't call arch exit code from init code on failure
oprofile_init calls oprofile_arch_init to initialise the architecture-specific
backend code. If this backend code returns failure, oprofile_arch_exit is
called immediately, making it difficult to allocate and free resources
correctly.

This patch removes the oprofile_arch_exit call from oprofile_init,
meaning that all architectures must ensure that oprofile_arch_init
cleans up any mess it's made before returning an error. As far as
I can tell, this only affects the code for ARM.

Martin Schwidefsky bc078e4eab oprofile: convert oprofile from timer_hook to hrtimer
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.

Robert Richter 1b294f5960 oprofile: Adding switch counter to oprofile statistic variables
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.

Robert Richter afe1b50fe6 oprofile: Rename variable timeout_jiffies and move to oprofile_files.c
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.

Jason Yeh 4d4036e0e7 oprofile: Implement performance counter multiplexing
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.

Jason Yeh 1a960b402a Oprofile Multiplexing Patch
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.

Bob Nelson 1474855d08 [CELL] oprofile: add support to OProfile for profiling CELL BE SPUs
From: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com>

This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c
to add in the SPU profiling capabilities.  In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory
was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code.
Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which
are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data
structures.

Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn).  Check pointer
returned from kzalloc.  Eliminated unnecessary cast.  Better error
handling and cleanup in the related area.  64-bit unsigned long parameter
was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to
unsigned long.

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!
