perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts
When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited
counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where
both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set
of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together.
In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to
count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to
go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating
the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task.
This optimizes the context switch in this situation. Instead of
scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and
scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context
to the new task and keep using it without interruption. The new
context gets transferred to the old task. This means that both
tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case
is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on
this CPU or another CPU.
The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in
each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from.
To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding
or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a
generation number on each context which is incremented every time
a context is changed. When a context is cloned we take a copy
of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are
equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same
generation number. In order that the parent context pointer
remains valid (and is not reused), we increment the parent
context's reference count for each context cloned from it.
Since we don't have individual fds for the counters in a cloned
context, the only thing that can make two clones of a given parent
different after they have been cloned is enabling or disabling all
counters with prctl. To account for this, we keep a count of the
number of enabled counters in each context. Two contexts must have
the same number of enabled counters to be considered equivalent.
Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with
the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with
and without this patch series:
-----Unmodified----- With this patch series
Counters: none 2 HW 4H+4S none 2 HW 4H+4S

The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of
lat_ctx. The "none" columns are lat_ctx run directly without any
counters. The "2 HW" columns are with lat_ctx run under perfstat,
counting cycles and instructions. The "4H+4S" columns are lat_ctx run
under perfstat with 4 hardware counters and 4 software counters
(cycles, instructions, cache references, cache misses, task
clock, context switch, cpu migrations, and page faults).

This replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with
a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct. The
main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a
perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU
switching in a later patch.
This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller,
we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached
get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the
inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't
end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes.
The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed
when the last reference is dropped. A context can have references
from its task and the counters on its task. Counters can outlive the
task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its
task has exited.
Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or
otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task.
In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct
locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we
raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task.
This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct. The
task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a
context from one task to another. Anything that needed to know which
task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task.
The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c
so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes
the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged.
We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from
__perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from
__perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed.
This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if
the counter has already been removed from the lists.
Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't
have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to
__perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in
the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and
thus creates a context for itself.
This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a
similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled
using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter overflow events
This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on

including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified.
Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier
processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6
field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and
defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6)
and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor
uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier
positions. It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and
old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR
values come from the same instruction.
For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not
doing instruction sampling. In that case there is no guarantee
that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will
correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the
PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord.
If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter
is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply

Some architectures (e.g. powerpc) can supply more precise

processor mode at that point. This introduces new functions,
perf_misc_flags() and perf_instruction_pointer(), which arch

A couple of issues crept in since about 2.6.27 related to accessing PCI
device ROMs on various powerpc machines.
First, historically, we don't allocate the ROM resource in the resource
tree. I'm not entirely certain of why, I susepct they often contained
garbage on x86 but it's hard to tell. This causes the current generic
code to always call pci_assign_resource() when trying to access the said
ROM from sysfs, which will try to re-assign some new address regardless
of what the ROM BAR was already set to at boot time. This can be a
problem on hypervisor platforms like pSeries where we aren't supposed
to move PCI devices around (and in fact probably can't).
Second, our code that generates the PCI tree from the OF device-tree
(instead of doing config space probing) which we mostly use on pseries
at the moment, didn't set the (new) flag IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any
resource. That means that any attempt at re-assigning such a resource
with pci_assign_resource() would fail due to resource_alignment()
returning 0.
This fixes this by doing these two things:
- The code that calculates resource flags based on the OF device-node
is improved to set IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any valid BAR, and while at
it also set IORESOURCE_READONLY for ROMs since we were lacking that too
- We now allocate ROM resources as part of the resource tree. However
to limit the chances of nasty conflicts due to busted firmwares, we
only do it on the second pass of our two-passes allocation scheme,
so that all valid and enabled BARs get precedence.
This brings pSeries back the ability to access PCI ROMs via sysfs (and
thus initialize various video cards from X etc...).

powerpc: Fix oprofile sampling of marked events on POWER7
Description
-----------
Change ppc64 oprofile kernel driver to use the SLOT bits (MMCRA[37:39]only on
older processors where those bits are defined.
Background
----------
The performance monitor unit of the 64-bit POWER processor family has the
ability to collect accurate instruction-level samples when profiling on marked
events (i.e., "PM_MRK_<event-name>"). In processors prior to POWER6, the MMCRA
register contained "slot information" that the oprofile kernel driver used to
adjust the value latched in the SIAR at the time of a PMU interrupt. But as of
POWER6, these slot bits in MMCRA are no longer necessary for oprofile to use,
since the SIAR itself holds the accurate sampled instruction address. With
POWER6, these MMCRA slot bits were zero'ed out by hardware so oprofile's use of
these slot bits was, in effect, a NOP. But with POWER7, these bits are no
longer zero'ed out; however, they serve some other purpose rather than slot
information. Thus, using these bits on POWER7 to adjust the SIAR value results
in samples being attributed to the wrong instructions. The attached patch
changes the oprofile kernel driver to ignore these slot bits on all newer
processors starting with POWER6.
