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. )

The mcount support that was finally added to the Blackfin gcc port isn't
exactly the same as what ftrace was developed against. Now that the final
gcc version is in place, update the ftrace code to match.
While updating this, fix the swapped arguments to the tracer (signature is
(ip, parent_ip) while we were passing (parent_ip, ip)).

The elf_fpregset_t type relied on an empty struct in the asm/user.h, but
the transition to asm-generic/user.h dropped that empty struct. Rather
than restore this useless struct, define the only user (elf_fpregset_t)
as an empty struct itself. This fixes building when ELF dump support is
enabled.

When preempt debugging is enabled, smp_processor_id() may utilize the
"current" structure. This may not be safe to access under all exceptions
due to it being in dynamically allocated memory. So in exception code,
make sure we use raw_smp_processor_id() instead to get at the real value
directly.

Not sure whether this has been reported/fixed before.
Today I built a Blackfin tool-chain from scratch for -tip testing,
and it triggers:

The majority of the time we are returning to user space, it is not in the
fixed atomic code region. So rather than branch to a function where we
check the PC and return, do the check inline and branch only when needed.
Also, tweak some of the fixed code handling based on assumptions we are
aware of but cannot be expressed in C.

The handling of updating the [DI]MEM_CONTROL MMRs does not follow proper
sync procedures as laid out in the Blackfin programming manual. So rather
than audit/fix every call location, create helper functions that do the
right things in order to safely update these MMRs. Then convert all call
sites to use these new helper functions.
While we're fixing the code, drop the workaround for anomaly 05000125 as
that anomaly applies to old versions of silicon that we do not support.

Since the hardware only provides reporting for the last exception handled,
and the values are valid only when executing the exception handler, we
need to save the context for reporting at a later point. While we do this
for one exception, it doesn't work properly when handling a second one as
the original exception is clobbered by the double fault. So when double
fault debugging is enabled, create a dedicated shadow of these values and
save/restore out of there. Now the crash report properly displays the
first exception as well as the second one.

The protect_page() function was incorrectly setting up the hardware tables
based on possible access capabilities rather than the actual requested
values. This means we would grant more access to mmap-ed pages than we
should have. Once we fix this, we need to tweak the signal generated by
such accesses to aline ourselves with other ports. This allows the LTP
mmap0{5,6,7} cases to run properly.

Allow hardware errors to be caught during early portions of booting, and
leave something in the shadow console that people can use to debug their
system with (to be printed out by the bootloader on next reset).
This enables the hardare error interrupts in head.S, allowing us to find
hardware errors when they happen (well, as much as you can with a hardware
error) and prints out the trace if it is enabled. This will catch errors
(like booting the wrong image on a 533) which previously resulted in a
infinite loop/hang, as well as random hardware errors before before
setup_arch().
To disable this debug only feature - turn off EARLY_PRINTK.
