For ARM, when tracing with tracepoint events, the IP and cpsr are set
to 0, preventing the perf code parsing the callchain and resolving the
symbols correctly.
./perf record -e sched:sched_switch -g --call-graph dwarf ls
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.006 MB perf.data ]
./perf report -f
Samples: 5 of event 'sched:sched_switch', Event count (approx.): 5
Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
100.00% 100.00% ls [unknown] [.] 00000000
The fix is to implement perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs for ARM, which fills
several necessary registers used for callchain unwinding, including pc,sp,
fp and cpsr.
With this patch, callchain can be parsed correctly as :
.....
- 100.00% 100.00% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __sched_text_start
+ __sched_text_start
+ 20.00% 0.00% ls libc-2.18.so [.] _dl_addr
+ 20.00% 0.00% ls libc-2.18.so [.] write
.....

The ARM callchain handling code is currently bundled with the ARM PMU
management code, despite the two having no dependency on each other.
This bundling has the unfortunate property of making callchain handling
depend on CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS, even though the callchain handling
could be applied to software events in the absence of PMU hardware
support.
This patch separates the two, placing the callchain handling in
perf_callchain.c and making it depend on CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS rather than
CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS, enabling callchain recording on kernels built
without hardware perf event support.

A few PMU-related macros are now looking a little lonely in
asm/perf_event.h now that all other PMU-specific structs, function
prototypes and macros live in pmu.h.
So as to make their placement consistent and to make it easier to build
atop of the current PMU functionality, let's reunite the entire family in
pmu.h

Commit e50c541 (ARM: perf: add guest vs host discrimination) broken the
link as perf_instruction_pointer and perf_misc_flags are not defined
when CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS is not selected.
As it make little sense to try and profile a guest without any HW event,
just fallback to the original code when this config option is not selected.

Add minimal guest support to perf, so it can distinguish whether
the PMU interrupt was in the host or the guest, as well as collecting
some very basic information (guest PC, user vs kernel mode).
This is not feature complete though, as it doesn't support backtracing
in the guest.
Based on the x86 implementation, tested with KVM/ARM.

The CPU PMU code is tightly coupled with generic ARM PMU handling code.
This makes it cumbersome when trying to add support for other ARM PMUs
(e.g. interconnect, L2 cache controller, bus) as the generic parts of
the code are not readily reusable.
This patch cleans up perf_event.c so that reusable code is exposed via
header files to other potential PMU drivers. The CPU code is
consistently named to identify it as such and also to prepare for moving
it into a separate file.

In order to provide PMU name strings compatible with the OProfile
user ABI, an enumeration of all PMUs is currently used by perf to
identify each PMU uniquely. Unfortunately, this does not scale well
in the presence of multiple PMUs and creates a single, global namespace
across all PMUs in the system.
This patch removes the enumeration and instead uses the name string
for the PMU to map onto the OProfile variant. perf_pmu_name is
implemented for CPU PMUs, which is all that OProfile cares about anyway.

Pull more ARM updates from Russell King.
This got a fair number of conflicts with the <asm/system.h> split, but
also with some other sparse-irq and header file include cleanups. They
all looked pretty trivial, though.

Put the logic to compute the event index into a per pmu method. This
is required because the x86 rules are weird and wonderful and don't
match the capabilities of the current scheme.
AFAIK only powerpc actually has a usable userspace read of the PMCs
but I'm not at all sure anybody actually used that.
ARM is restored to the default since it currently does not support
userspace access at all. And all software events are provided with a
method that reports their index as 0 (disabled).

armpmu_get_max_events is only called from perf_num_counters, so we can
inline it there. It existed as a separate entity as a hangover from

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

This is purely a cosmetic change to the ARM perf backend because the current
comments about the relationship between NMIs, interrupt context and
perf_event_do_pending are misleading.
This patch updates the comments so that they reflect what the code
actually does (which is in line with other architectures).

For OProfile to initialise oprofilefs correctly, it needs to know
the number of counters it can represent.
This patch adds a function to the ARM perf-events backend to return
the number of hardware counters available for the current PMU.

The ARM perf-events framework provides support for a number of different
PMUs using struct arm_pmu. The char *name field of this struct can be
used to identify the PMU, but this is cumbersome if used outside of perf.
This patch replaces the name string for a PMU with an enum, which holds
a unique ID for the PMU being represented. This ID can be used to index
an array of names within perf, so no functionality is lost. The presence
of the ID field, allows other kernel subsystems [currently oprofile] to
use their own mappings for the PMU name.
