| * perf: Provide generic perf_sample_data initializationPeter Zijlstra2010-03-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes it easier to extend perf_sample_data and fixes a bug on arm and sparc, which failed to set ->raw to NULL, which can cause crashes when combined with PERF_SAMPLE_RAW. It also optimizes PowerPC and tracepoint, because the struct initialization is forced to zero out the whole structure.

* | ARM: 5960/1: ARM: perf-events: fix v7 event selection maskWill Deacon2010-03-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The event selection mask for ARMv7 cores [ARMV7_EVTSEL_MASK] is incorrectly set to 0x7f. This means that the top bit of an event ID is ignored, so counting branch misses (id=0x10) and ISBs (id=0x90) give the same results. This patch sets the event selection mask to the correct value of 0xff.

* | ARM: 5959/1: ARM: perf-events: request PMU interrupts with IRQF_NOBALANCINGWill Deacon2010-03-131-1/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If IRQ balancing is used on a multicore ARM system, PMU interrupt lines may be relocated onto CPUs other than the one causing the counter overflow. This can result in misattribution of events to the wrong core and, in the case that the CPU handling the interrupt has not experience counter overflow, the interrupt can be disabled because the handler returns IRQ_NONE. This patch adds the IRQF_NOBALANCING flag to the request_irq call in perf_events.c.

* ARM: 5903/1: arm/perfevents: add support for ARMv7Jean PIHET2010-02-121-4/+932
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds the Performance Events support for ARMv7 processor, using the PMNC unit in HW. Supports the following: - Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 processors, - dynamic detection of the number of available counters, based on the PMCR value, - runtime detection of the CPU arch (v6 or v7) and model (Cortex-A8 or Cortex-A9) Tested on OMAP3 (Cortex-A8) only.

* ARM: 5902/4: arm/perfevents: implement perf event support for ARMv6Jamie Iles2010-02-121-0/+1348
This patch implements support for ARMv6 performance counters in the Linux performance events subsystem. ARMv6 architectures that have the performance counters should enable HW_PERF_EVENTS to get hardware performance events support in addition to the software events. Note: only ARM Ltd ARM cores are supported. This implementation also provides an ARM PMU abstraction layer to allow ARMv7 and others to be supported in the future by adding new a 'struct arm_pmu'.
