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. )

The majority of the time we are returning to user space, it is not in the
fixed atomic code region. So rather than branch to a function where we
check the PC and return, do the check inline and branch only when needed.
Also, tweak some of the fixed code handling based on assumptions we are
aware of but cannot be expressed in C.

The handling of updating the [DI]MEM_CONTROL MMRs does not follow proper
sync procedures as laid out in the Blackfin programming manual. So rather
than audit/fix every call location, create helper functions that do the
right things in order to safely update these MMRs. Then convert all call
sites to use these new helper functions.
While we're fixing the code, drop the workaround for anomaly 05000125 as
that anomaly applies to old versions of silicon that we do not support.

Since the hardware only provides reporting for the last exception handled,
and the values are valid only when executing the exception handler, we
need to save the context for reporting at a later point. While we do this
for one exception, it doesn't work properly when handling a second one as
the original exception is clobbered by the double fault. So when double
fault debugging is enabled, create a dedicated shadow of these values and
save/restore out of there. Now the crash report properly displays the
first exception as well as the second one.

Allow hardware errors to be caught during early portions of booting, and
leave something in the shadow console that people can use to debug their
system with (to be printed out by the bootloader on next reset).
This enables the hardare error interrupts in head.S, allowing us to find
hardware errors when they happen (well, as much as you can with a hardware
error) and prints out the trace if it is enabled. This will catch errors
(like booting the wrong image on a 533) which previously resulted in a
infinite loop/hang, as well as random hardware errors before before
setup_arch().
To disable this debug only feature - turn off EARLY_PRINTK.

The purpose of the EVT14 handler may depend on whether CONFIG_IPIPE is
enabled, albeit its implementation can be the same in both cases. When
the interrupt pipeline is enabled, EVT14 can be used to raise the core
priority level for the running code; when CONFIG_IPIPE is off, EVT14
can be used to lower this level before running softirq handlers.
Rename evt14_softirq to evt_evt14 to pick an identifier that fits
both, which allows to reuse the same vector setup code as well.

We handle many exceptions at EVT5 (hardware error level) so that we can
catch exceptions in our exception handling code. Today - if the global
interrupt enable bit (IPEND[4]) is set (interrupts disabled) our trap
handling code goes into a infinite loop, since we need interrupts to be
on to defer things to EVT5.
Normal kernel code should not trigger this for any reason as IPEND[4] gets
cleared early (when doing an interrupt context save) and the kernel stack
there should be sane (or something much worse is happening in the system).
But there have been a few times where this has happened, so this change
makes sure we dump a proper crash message even when things have gone south.

Check that the result of kmalloc is not NULL before passing it to other
functions.
In the first two cases, the new code returns -ENOMEM, which seems
compatible with what is done for similar functions for other architectures.
In the last two cases, the new code fails silently, ie just returns,
because the function has void return type.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

On Blackfin SMP, a per-cpu loops_per_jiffy is pointless since both cores
always run at the same CCLK. In addition, the current implementation has
flaws since the main consumer for loops_per_jiffy (asm/delay.h) uses the
global kernel loops_per_jiffy and not the per_cpu one. So punt all of the
per-cpu handling and go back to the global shared one.

The current cache options don't really represent the hardware features.
They end up setting different aspects of the hardware so that the end
result is to turn on/off the cache. Unfortunately, when we hit cache
problems with the hardware, it's difficult to test different settings to
root cause the problem. The current settings also don't cleanly allow for
different caching behaviors with different regions of memory.
So split the configure options such that they properly reflect the settings
that are applied to the hardware.

When a low priority interrupt (like ethernet) is triggered between 2 high
priority IPI messages, a deadlock in disable_irq() is hit by the second
IPI handler. This is because the second IPI message is queued within the
first IPI handler, but the handler doesn't process all messages, and new
ones are inserted rather than appended. So now we process all the pending
messages, and append new ones to the pending list.

Hardware errors on the Blackfin architecture are queued by nature of the
hardware design. Things that could generate a hardware level queue up at
the system interface and might not process until much later, at which
point the system would send a notification back to the core.
As such, it is possible for user space code to do something that would
trigger a hardware error, but have it delay long enough for the process
context to switch. So when the hardware error does signal, we mistakenly
evaluate it as a different process or as kernel context and panic (erp!).
This makes it pretty difficult to find the offending context. But wait,
there is good news somewhere.
By forcing a SSYNC in the interrupt entry, we force all pending queues at
the system level to be processed and all hardware errors to be signaled.
Then we check the current interrupt state to see if the hardware error is
now signaled. If so, we re-queue the current interrupt and return thus
allowing the higher priority hardware error interrupt to process properly.
Since we haven't done any other context processing yet, the right context
will be selected and killed. There is still the possibility that the
exact offending instruction will be unknown, but at least we'll have a
much better idea of where to look.
The downside of course is that this causes system-wide syncs at every
interrupt point which results in significant performance degradation.
Since this situation should not occur in any properly configured system
(as hardware errors are triggered by things like bad pointers), make it a
debug configuration option and disable it by default.
