* 'perfcounters-rename-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
perf: Tidy up after the big rename
perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
perf_counter: Rename 'event' to event_id/hw_event
perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list
Manually resolved some fairly trivial conflicts with the tracing tree in
include/trace/ftrace.h and kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c.
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Fix trivial conflict as by Tejun Heo in kernel/sched.c
That code uses dma_mapping_error() with a NULL device, which is
a bad idea :-) The proper fix might be to start using some kind
of pseudo device for all these low level mappings with the
hypervisor but that will be for another day. Since it directly
calls into the low level iommu code, I see no problem in having
it directly test against DMA_ERROR_CODE instead of using the
accessors with a NULL argument for now.

Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries
machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile
will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next
time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter
won't count anything.
Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem:
- oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want
to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca.
This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore
the PMU config.
- The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly
as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear
when it finishes.
- oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs,
which does nothing because it has already been called. In particular
it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag.
This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set
the "PMU in use" flag. It makes the perf_counter code call
ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function
directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller.
This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it
isn't defined anywhere.

A misconfiguration by the firmware of the U4 PCIe bridge on PowerMac G5
with the U4 bridge (latest generations, may also affect the iMac G5
"iSight") is causing us to re-assign the PCI BARs of the video card,
which can get it out of sync with the firmware, thus breaking offb.
This works around it by fixing up the bridge configuration properly
at boot time. It also fixes a bug where the firmware provides us with
an incorrect set of accessible regions in the device-tree.

The SLB can change sizes across a live migration, which was not
being handled, resulting in possible machine crashes during
migration if migrating to a machine which has a smaller max SLB
size than the source machine. Fix this by first reducing the
SLB size to the minimum possible value, which is 32, prior to
migration. Then during the device tree update which occurs after
migration, we make the call to ensure the SLB gets updated. Also
add the slb_size to the lparcfg output so that the migration
tools can check to make sure the kernel has this capability
before allowing migration in scenarios where the SLB size will change.

Actually, the support is already there, but it requires newer U-Boots
(to fill-in clock-frequency, and setup pin multiplexing).
Though, it appears that on RDB boards USBB pins aren't multiplexed
between USB and eSDHC (unlike MDS boards, where USB and eSDHC share
pctl and pwrfault pins).
So, for RDB boards we can safely setup pinmux and manually fill-in
clock-frequency, thus making eSDHC work even with older u-boots.

The STAB code used on Power3 and RS/64 uses a second scratch SPRG to
save a GPR in order to decide whether to go to do_stab_bolted_* or
to handle a normal data access exception.
This prevents our scheme of freeing SPRG3 which is user visible for
user uses since we cannot use SPRG0 which, on RS/64, seems to be
read-only for supervisor mode (like POWER4).
This reworks the STAB exception entry to use the PACA as temporary
storage instead.

The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in
low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu
global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer.
We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers
as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some
of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc..
and the current choice isn't always the best.
This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the
usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement
and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to
what those are used for on each processor family.
The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM
or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all
the SPRGs.
