cpumask: modifiy oprofile initialization

2009-01-22T13:37:06+00:00

Delta patch to f7df8ed164996cd2c6aca9674388be6ef78d8b37 for
tip/cpus4096.

Moved initialization to sync_start()/sync_stop(). No changes needed in
buffer_sync.h and oprof.c anymore.

cpumask: convert misc driver functions

2009-01-11T18:12:52+00:00

Impact: use new cpumask API.

Convert misc driver functions to use struct cpumask.

To Do:
  - Convert iucv_buffer_cpumask to cpumask_var_t.

oprofile: remove #ifdef CONFIG_OPROFILE_IBS in non-ibs code

2009-01-07T21:47:56+00:00

The ifdefs can be removed since the code is no longer ibs specific and
can be used for other purposes as well. IBS specific code is only in
op_model_amd.c.

oprofile: use new data sample format for ibs

2009-01-07T21:47:23+00:00

The new ring buffer implementation allows the storage of samples with
different size. This patch implements the usage of the new sample
format to store ibs samples in the cpu buffer. Until now, writing to
the cpu buffer could lead to incomplete sampling sequences since IBS
samples were transfered in multiple samples. Due to a full buffer,
data could be lost at any time. This can't happen any more since the
complete data is reserved in advance and then stored in a single
sample.

oprofile: add op_cpu_buffer_get_data()

2009-01-07T21:45:46+00:00

This function provides access to attached data of a sample. It returns
the size of data including the current value. Also,
op_cpu_buffer_get_size() is available to check if there is data
attached.

oprofile: rework implementation of cpu buffer events

2009-01-07T21:40:47+00:00

Special events such as task or context switches are marked with an
escape code in the cpu buffer followed by an event code or a task
identifier. There is one escape code per event. To make escape
sequences also available for data samples the internal cpu buffer
format must be changed. The current implementation does not allow the
extension of event codes since this would lead to collisions with the
task identifiers. To avoid this, this patch introduces an event mask
that allows the storage of multiple events with one escape code. Now,
task identifiers are stored in the data section of the sample. The
implementation also allows the usage of custom data in a sample. As a
side effect the new code is much more readable and easier to
understand.
