perf tools: Fix tracepoint id to string perf.data header table
perf tools: Fix handling of wildcards in tracepoint event selectors
powerpc: perf: Fix frequency calculation for overflowing counters
When profiling a benchmark that is almost 100% userspace, I noticed some wildly
inaccurate profiles that showed almost all time spent in the kernel.
Closer examination shows we were programming a tiny number of cycles into the
PMU after each overflow (about ~200 away from the next overflow). This gets us
stuck in a loop which we eventually break out of by throttling the PMU (there
are regular throttle/unthrottle events in the log).
It looks like we aren't setting event->hw.last_period to something same and the
frequency to period calculations in perf are going haywire.
With the following patch we find the correct period after a few interrupts and
stay there. I also see no more throttle events.

The nvram log partition stuff currently in nvram_64.c is really
pseries specific. It isn't actually used on anything else (despite
the fact that we ran the code to setup the partition on anything
except powermac) and the log format is specific to pseries RTAS
implementation. So move it where it belongs

This changes the function to use nvram_find_partition() instead
of doing the lookup "by hand". It also makes some of the logic

Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Existing code is nasty, has bugs etc... rewrite the function
more simply, and make it take the signature and optional
name of the partitions to remove as arguments, thus making
it a more generic utility.
We also try to remove a log partition that we find and is too
small rather than creating a duplicate.

This error log stuff is really pseries specific. As a first step we move
the initialization of these variables to the caller of
nvram_create_partition(), which is also slightly reorganized so we
setup the free partition before we clear the new partition, so the
chance of an error during clear leaving us with invalid headers
is lessened.
Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
When creating a partition, we clear it entirely rather than

These APIs take logical cpu number as input
Change cpu_first_thread_in_core() to cpu_first_thread_sibling()
Change cpu_last_thread_in_core() to cpu_last_thread_sibling()
These APIs convert core number (index) to logical cpu/thread numbers
Add cpu_first_thread_of_core(int core)
Changed cpu_thread_to_core() to cpu_core_index_of_thread(int cpu)
The goal is to make 'threads_per_core' accessible to the
pseries_energy module. Instead of making an API to read
threads_per_core, this is a higher level wrapper function to
convert from logical cpu number to core number.
The current APIs cpu_first_thread_in_core() and
cpu_last_thread_in_core() returns logical CPU number while
cpu_thread_to_core() returns core number or index which is
not a logical CPU number. The new APIs are now clearly named to
distinguish 'core number' versus first and last 'logical cpu
number' in that core.
The new APIs cpu_{first,last}_thread_sibling() work on
logical cpu numbers. While cpu_first_thread_of_core() and
cpu_core_index_of_thread() work on core index.
Example usage: (4 threads per core system)
cpu_first_thread_sibling(5) = 4
cpu_last_thread_sibling(5) = 7
cpu_core_index_of_thread(5) = 1
cpu_first_thread_of_core(1) = 4
cpu_core_index_of_thread() is used in cpu_to_drc_index() in the
module and cpu_first_thread_of_core() is used in
drc_index_to_cpu() in the module.
Make API changes to few callers. Export symbols for use in modules.

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.
