Newer Intel CPUs (Core1+) have support for architectural
events described in CPUID 0xA. See the IA32 SDM Vol3b.18 for details.
The advantage of this is that it can be done without knowing about
the specific CPU, because the CPU describes by itself what
performance events are supported. This is only a fallback
because only a limited set of 6 events are supported.
This allows to do profiling on Nehalem and on Atom systems
(later not tested)
This patch implements support for that in oprofile's Intel
Family 6 profiling module. It also has the advantage of supporting
an arbitary number of events now as reported by the CPU.
Also allow arbitary counter widths >32bit while we're at it.
Requires a patched oprofile userland to support the new
architecture.

This essentially reverts Linus' earlier 4b9f12a377
commit. Nehalem is not core_2, so it shouldn't be reported as such.
However with the earlier arch perfmon patch it will fall back to
arch perfmon mode now, so there is no need to fake it as core_2.
The only drawback is that Linus will need to patch the arch perfmon
support into his oprofile binary now, but I think he can do that.

The usual problem: the suspend function when interrupts are
already disabled calls smp_call_function which is not allowed with
interrupt off. But at this point all the other CPUs should be already
down anyways, so it should be enough to just drop that.
This patch should fix that problem at least by fixing cpu hotplug&
suspend support.

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.

Change the following arrays sized by NR_CPUS to be PERCPU variables:
static struct op_msrs cpu_msrs[NR_CPUS];
static unsigned long saved_lvtpc[NR_CPUS];
Also some minor complaints from checkpatch.pl fixed.
Based on:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86.git
All changes were transparent except for:
static void nmi_shutdown(void)
{
+ struct op_msrs *msrs = &__get_cpu_var(cpu_msrs);
nmi_enabled = 0;
on_each_cpu(nmi_cpu_shutdown, NULL, 0, 1);
unregister_die_notifier(&profile_exceptions_nb);
- model->shutdown(cpu_msrs);
+ model->shutdown(msrs);
free_msrs();
}
The existing code passed a reference to cpu 0's instance of struct op_msrs
to model->shutdown, whilst the other functions are passed a reference to
<this cpu's> instance of a struct op_msrs. This seemed to be a bug to me
even though as long as cpu 0 and <this cpu> are of the same type it would
have the same effect...?

Right now, we take the stack pointer early during the backtrace path, but
only calculate bp several functions deep later, making it hard to reconcile
the stack and bp backtraces (as well as showing several internal backtrace
functions on the stack with bp based backtracing).
This patch moves the bp taking to the same place we take the stack pointer;
sadly this ripples through several layers of the back tracing stack,
but it's not all that bad in the end I hope.

For enhancing the 32 bit EBP based backtracer, I need the capability
for the backtracer to tell it's customer that an entry is either
reliable or unreliable, and the backtrace printing code then needs to
print the unreliable ones slightly different.

We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific
members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable
additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix
from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes
for segment registers on the 32-bit side.
This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional
places that might be candidates for unification in the future.
