oprofile, x86: Fix wrapping bug in op_x86_get_ctrl()

2012-10-28T17:14:13+00:00

commit 44009105081b51417f311f4c3be0061870b6b8ed upstream.

The "event" variable is a u16 so the shift will always wrap to zero
making the line a no-op.

x86: Factor out TIF_IA32 from 32-bit address space

2012-02-20T20:48:46+00:00

Factor out IA32 (compatibility instruction set) from 32-bit address
space in the thread_info flags; this is a precondition patch for x32
support.

oprofile, x86: Reimplement nmi timer mode using perf event

2011-11-04T15:27:18+00:00

The legacy x86 nmi watchdog code was removed with the implementation
of the perf based nmi watchdog. This broke Oprofile's nmi timer
mode. To run nmi timer mode we relied on a continuous ticking nmi
source which the nmi watchdog provided. The nmi tick was no longer
available and current watchdog can not be used anymore since it runs
with very long periods in the range of seconds. This patch
reimplements the nmi timer mode using a perf counter nmi source.

V2:
* removing pr_info()
* fix undefined reference to `__udivdi3' for 32 bit build
* fix section mismatch of .cpuinit.data:nmi_timer_cpu_nb
* removed nmi timer setup in arch/x86
* implemented function stubs for op_nmi_init/exit()
* made code more readable in oprofile_init()

V3:
* fix architectural initialization in oprofile_init()
* fix CONFIG_OPROFILE_NMI_TIMER dependencies

oprofile, x86: Add kernel parameter oprofile.cpu_type=timer

2011-11-04T14:04:34+00:00

We need this to better test x86 NMI timer mode. Otherwise it is very
hard to setup systems with NMI timer enabled, but we have this e.g. in
virtual machine environments.

oprofile, x86: Fix crash when unloading module (nmi timer mode)

2011-11-04T14:04:33+00:00

If oprofile uses the nmi timer interrupt there is a crash while
unloading the module. The bug can be triggered with oprofile build as
module and kernel parameter nolapic set. This patch fixes this.

Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.c manually.

Ingo's tree did the insane "add volatile to const array", which just
doesn't make sense ("volatile const"?).  But we could remove the const
*and* make the array volatile to make doubly sure that gcc doesn't
optimize it away..

Also fix up kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c non-data-conflicts manually: the
reader_lock has been turned into a raw lock by the core locking merge,
and there was a new user of it introduced in this perf core merge.  Make
sure that new use also uses the raw accessor functions.

perf, x86: Implement IBS initialization

2011-10-10T04:57:16+00:00

This patch implements IBS feature detection and initialzation. The
code is shared between perf and oprofile. If IBS is available on the
system for perf, a pmu is setup.
