perf stat: handle Ctrl-C
Before this change, if a long-running perf stat workload was Ctrl-C-ed,
the utility exited without displaying statistics.
After the change, the Ctrl-C gets propagated into the workload (and
causes its early exit there), but perf stat itself will still continue
to run and will display counter results.
This is useful to run open-ended workloads, let them run for
a while, then Ctrl-C them to get the stats.

perf_counter: call hw_perf_save_disable/restore around group_sched_in
I noticed that when enabling a group via the PERF_COUNTER_IOC_ENABLE
ioctl on the group leader, the counters weren't enabled and counting
immediately on return from the ioctl, but did start counting a little
while later (presumably after a context switch).
The reason was that __perf_counter_enable calls group_sched_in which
calls hw_perf_group_sched_in, which on powerpc assumes that the caller
has called hw_perf_save_disable already. Until commit 46d686c6
("perf_counter: put whole group on when enabling group leader") it was
true that all callers of group_sched_in had called
hw_perf_save_disable first, and the powerpc hw_perf_group_sched_in
relies on that (there isn't an x86 version).
This fixes the problem by putting calls to hw_perf_save_disable /
hw_perf_restore around the calls to group_sched_in and
counter_sched_in in __perf_counter_enable. Having the calls to
hw_perf_save_disable/restore around the counter_sched_in call is
harmless and makes this call consistent with the other call sites
of counter_sched_in, which have all called hw_perf_save_disable first.

This fixes it by introducing a variant of perf_counter_task_sched_out

variant doesn't record a context switch event, and takes a struct

during video4linux probing the v4l2-subdev core requires a struct

perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function counters
POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality:
PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles
in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1;
the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when
there is work to do.)
These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate
interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can
only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in
run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only
if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor
modes.
Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there
are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware
counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor
modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that
doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a
limited hardware counter.
To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the
processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined:
one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited
counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and
one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are
gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles"
event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags
are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base
field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing
unused field).
Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters,
we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted
on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize
this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6
immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in
a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function.
The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware
counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware
counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited
counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with
conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it
isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't.
This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to
handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

To check on AMD cpus if a counter overflows, the upper bit of the raw
counter value must be checked. This value is already internally
available in x86_perf_counter_update(). Now, the value is returned so
that it can be used directly to check for overflows.

perf_counter, x86: implement the interrupt handler for AMD cpus
This patch implements the interrupt handler for AMD performance
counters. In difference to the Intel pmu, there is no single status
register and also there are no fixed counters. This makes the handler
very different and it is useful to make the handler vendor
specific. To check if a counter is overflowed the upper bit of the
counter is checked. Only counters where the active bit is set are
checked.
With this patch throttling is enabled for AMD performance counters.
This patch also reenables Linux performance counters on AMD cpus.

perf_counter, x86: change and remove pmu initialization checks
Some functions are only called if the pmu was proper initialized. That
initalization checks can be removed. The way to check initialization
changed too. Now, the pointer to the interrupt handler is checked. If
it exists the pmu is initialized. This also removes a static variable
and uses struct x86_pmu as only data source for the check.

and introduces x86_pmu_disable_counter(). The internal function i/f in

There is vendor specific code in generic x86 code, and there is vendor
specific code that could be generic. This patch introduces
x86_pmu_enable_counter() for x86 generic code. Fixed counter code for
Intel is moved to Intel only functions. In the end, checks and calls
via function pointers were reduced to the necessary. Also, the
internal function i/f changed.

perf_counter, x86: generic use of cpuc->active
cpuc->active will now be used to indicate an enabled counter which
implies also valid pointers of cpuc->counters[]. In contrast,
cpuc->used only locks the counter, but it can be still uninitialized.

perf_counter, x86: make x86_pmu data a static struct
Instead of using a pointer to reference to the x86 pmu we now have one
single data structure that is initialized at the beginning. This saves
the pointer access when using this memory.

This patch renames struct pmc_x86_ops into struct x86_pmu. It
introduces a structure to describe an x86 model specific pmu
(performance monitoring unit). It may contain ops and data. The new

been changed too.
