* powerpc/perf: Move perf core & PMU code into a subdirectoryMichael Ellerman2012-02-231-134/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The perf code has grown a lot since it started, and is big enough to warrant its own subdirectory. For reference it's ~60% bigger than the oprofile code. It declutters the kernel directory, makes it simpler to grep for "just perf stuff", and allows us to shorten some filenames. While we're at it, make it more obvious that we have two implementations of the core perf logic. One for (roughly) Book3S CPUs, which was the original implementation, and the other for Freescale embedded CPUs.

* perf, arch: Add generic NODE cache eventsPeter Zijlstra2011-07-011-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a NODE level to the generic cache events which is used to measure local vs remote memory accesses. Like all other cache events, an ACCESS is HIT+MISS, if there is no way to distinguish between reads and writes do reads only etc.. The below needs filling out for !x86 (which I filled out with unsupported events). I'm fairly sure ARM can leave it like that since it doesn't strike me as an architecture that even has NUMA support. SH might have something since it does appear to have some NUMA bits. Sparc64, PowerPC and MIPS certainly want a good look there since they clearly are NUMA capable.

* perf, arch: Cleanup perf-pmu init vs lockup-detectorPeter Zijlstra2010-11-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot, some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall). The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall() and expects the hardware pmu to be present. Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit initcall right after that.

* powerpc/perf: e500 supportScott Wood2010-03-051-0/+129
This implements perf_event support for the Freescale embedded performance monitor, based on the existing perf_event.c that supports server/classic chips. Some limitations: - Performance monitor interrupts are regular EE interrupts, and thus you can't profile places with interrupts disabled. We may want to implement soft IRQ-disabling, with perfmon interrupts exempted and treated as NMIs. - When trying to schedule multiple event groups at once, and using restricted events, situations could arise where scheduling fails even though it would be possible. Consider three groups, each with two events. One group has restricted events, the others don't. The two non-restricted groups are scheduled, then one is removed, which happens to occupy the two counters that can't do restricted events. The remaining non-restricted group will not be moved to the non-restricted-capable counters to make room if the restricted group tries to be scheduled.
