[PATCH v5 1/8] perf: Add a flags parameter to pmu txn interfaces

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu
Date: Fri Aug 14 2015 - 02:51:39 EST


Currently, the PMU interface allows reading only one counter at a time.
But some PMUs like the 24x7 counters in Power, support reading several
counters at once. To leveage this functionality, extend the transaction
interface to support a "transaction type".

The first type, PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, refers to the existing transactions,
i.e. used to _schedule_ all the events on the PMU as a group. A second
transaction type, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ, will be used in a follow-on patch,
by the 24x7 counters to read several counters at once.

Extend the transaction interfaces to the PMU to accept a 'txn_flags'
parameter and use this parameter to ignore any transactions that are
not of type PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD.

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for his input.

Changelog[v4]
- [Peter Zijlstra] Fix an copy-paste error in power_pmu_cancel_txn().
- [Peter Zijlstra] Use __this_cpu_read() and __this_cpu_write().

Changelog[v3]
- [Peter Zijlstra] Ensure the nop_txn interfaces disable/enable
PMU only for TXN_ADD transactions.
- [Peter Zijlstra] Cache the flags parameter in ->start_txn() and
drop the flags parameter from ->commit_txn() and ->cancel_txn().
