Jamie Iles 58e9f94138 perf tools: Allow building for ARM
Add definitions of rmb() and cpu_relax() and include the ARM
unistd.h header. The __kuser_memory_barrier helper in the helper
page is used to provide the correct memory barrier depending on
the CPU type.

[ The rmb() will work on v6 and v7, segfault on v5. Dynamic
  detection to add v5 support will be added later. ]

Ingo Molnar cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Vince Weaver 11d1578f94 perf_counter: Add P6 PMU support
Add basic P6 PMU support. The P6 uses the EVNTSEL0 EN bit to
enable/disable both its counters. We use this for the
global enable/disable, and clear all config bits (except EN)
to disable individual counters.

Actual ia32 hardware doesn't support lfence, so use a locked
op without side-effect to implement a full barrier.

perf stat and perf record seem to function correctly.

We plan to display the callchains depending on some user-configurable

To gather the callchains stats from the recorded stream in a fast way,
this patch introduces an ad hoc radix tree adapted for callchains and also
a rbtree to sort these callchains once we have gathered every events
from the stream.

Paul Mackerras 9cffa8d533 perf_counter tools: Define and use our own u64, s64 etc. definitions
On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than
unsigned long long.  This causes compiler warnings every time we
print a __u64 value with %Lx.

Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long
long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long.
For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8.  These
definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions
are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h.

The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8}
to remove the "__".  The other changes are:

* Create types.h
* Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h
* Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile
* Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table()
  to kill two remaining warnings.

Peter Zijlstra 974802eaa1 perf_counter: Add forward/backward attribute ABI compatibility
Provide for means of extending the perf_counter_attr in a 'natural' way.

We allow growing the structure by appending fields at the end by specifying
the full structure size inside it.

When a new kernel sees a smaller (old) structure, it will 0 pad the tail.
When an old kernel sees a larger (new) structure, it will verify the tail
consists of 0s, otherwise fail.

If we fail due to a size-mismatch, we return -E2BIG and write the kernel's
native attribe size back into the provided structure.

Furthermore, add some attribute verification, so that we'll fail counter
creation when unknown bits are present (PERF_SAMPLE, PERF_FORMAT, or in
the __reserved fields).

(This ABI detail is introduced while keeping the existing syscall ABI.)
