* perf/hwpb: Invoke __perf_event_disable() if interrupts are already disabledK.Prasad2012-09-041-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While debugging a warning message on PowerPC while using hardware breakpoints, it was discovered that when perf_event_disable is invoked through hw_breakpoint_handler function with interrupts disabled, a subsequent IPI in the code path would trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE message in smp_call_function_single function. This patch calls __perf_event_disable() when interrupts are already disabled, instead of perf_event_disable().

| * perf/hwbp: Fix a possible memory leakNamhyung Kim2012-02-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If kzalloc() for TYPE_DATA failed on a given cpu, previous chunk of TYPE_INST will be leaked. Fix it. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this better solution. It should work as long as the initial value of the region is all 0's and that's the case of static (per-cpu) memory allocation.

* | perf, arch: Rework perf_event_index()Peter Zijlstra2011-12-211-0/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* perf: Add context field to perf_eventAvi Kivity2011-07-011-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event in their local data structure. This is ugly and doesn't scale if a single callback services many perf_events. Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event. The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context. All callers are updated.
