powerpc: Make irq_stat.timers_irqs counting more specific

2013-12-02T03:14:50+00:00

Current irq_stat.timers_irqs counting doesn't discriminate timer event handler
and other timer interrupt(like arch_irq_work_raise). Sometimes we need to know
exactly how much interrupts timer event handler fired, so let's be more specific
on this.

powerpc: Add accounting for Doorbell interrupts

2013-04-18T05:59:55+00:00

This patch adds a new line to /proc/interrupts to account for the
doorbell interrupts that each hardware thread has received. The total
interrupt count in /proc/stat will now also include doorbells.

 # cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0       CPU1       CPU2       CPU3

powerpc: Convert global "BAD" interrupt to per cpu spurious

2010-02-17T03:02:49+00:00

I often get asked if BAD interrupts are really bad. On some boxes (eg
IBM machines running a hypervisor) there are valid cases where are
presented with an interrupt that is not for us. These cases are common
enough to show up as thousands of BAD interrupts a day.

Tone them down by calling them spurious. Since they can be a significant cause
of OS jitter, we may as well log them per cpu so we know where they are
occurring.

powerpc: Add timer, performance monitor and machine check counts to /proc/interrupts

2010-02-17T03:02:49+00:00

With NO_HZ it is useful to know how often the decrementer is going off. The
patch below adds an entry for it and also adds it into the /proc/stat
summaries.

While here, I added performance monitoring and machine check exceptions.
I found it useful to keep an eye on the PMU exception rate
when using the perf tool. Since it's possible to take a completely
handled machine check on a System p box it also sounds like a good idea to
keep a machine check summary.

The event naming matches x86 to keep gratuitous differences to a minimum.

powerpc: Reduce footprint of irq_stat

2010-02-17T03:02:48+00:00

PowerPC is currently using asm-generic/hardirq.h which statically allocates an
NR_CPUS irq_stat array. Switch to an arch specific implementation which uses
per cpu data:

On a kernel with NR_CPUS=1024, this saves quite a lot of memory:

   text    data     bss      dec         hex    filename
8767938 2944132 1636796 13348866         cbb002 vmlinux.baseline
8767779 2944260 1505724 13217763         c9afe3 vmlinux.irq_cpustat

A saving of around 128kB.

powerpc: Switch to asm-generic/hardirq.h

2009-08-20T00:29:27+00:00

hardirq.h on powerpc defines a __last_jiffy_stamp field, but it's not
actually used anywhere.

powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm

2008-08-04T02:02:00+00:00

from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where  was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
