[GIT PULL] Performance Counters for Linux

[Ingo Molnar]

Linus,

Please consider pulling the performance counters Git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git perfcounters-for-linus

The -v8 version was announced at:

   http://lwn.net/Articles/336542/

[ Changes since -v8: cleanups of the ABI, broader cachemiss-counter
  enumeration support, Power7 arch support, Jato JIT dynamic symbols
  support, improved auto-freq sampling, gentler fall-back in tools
  in case of missing PMU features, and general tidyups. ]

Performance Counters for Linux is a new subsystem that offers 
unified handling and tooling for all things performance analysis: it 
provides an fd based 'counter' abstraction to expose a wide set of 
performance measurement features:

 - The counting of hardware and software events

 - Sampling/tracing of events

 - Various counter-scheduling and workload-measurement features (per
   task, per CPU, per child hierarchy, etc.)

 - Self and remote measurements

 - CPU-independent abstraction/enumeration of hardware and software
   events that tries to distill a more or less uniformly available
   set of events.

Perfcounters are supported on PowerPC and on x86 (sw counters are 
unconditionally supported, hw counters are supported on Intel Core2 
and later, and on most AMD CPUs).

The subsystem also offers the 'perf' tool in tools/perf/, which is 
an integrated collection of subcommands that allow various levels of 
inspection and analysis - form the ten-miles-high statistics to the 
per assembly statistics and to the raw trace itself.

The tooling tries to be friendly, intuitive and very fast - and does 
not try to get in the way of getting work done. Its main focus is on 
measuring/profilig user-space apps, without an artificial separation 
of 'kernel-space' and 'user-space' activities. There's ELF symbol 
and debuginfo/annotation support.

The counter concept got objected to in past discussions on lkml, by 
DaveM and by Stephane Eranian (i've Cc:-ed them) - so this code was 
not eligible for linux-next testing - nevertheless we gave it good 
testing on PowerPC and x86 and i've done a wide cross-build test as 
well to try to make sure it breaks no other architecture.

Any architecture can add support for perfcounters it by hooking up 
the syscall - without any PMU feature - the software events and 
hrtimer based sampling will be available and all the tools will work 
transparently.

I tested its merge interaction with pending trees in linux-next: it 
only conflicted with the scheduler and x86 trees (which trees i 
already sent earlier today), and a trivial conflict with two pending 
cleanup patches in atomic.h. I.e. the interaction is minimal.

CONFIG_PERF_COUNTER is default-disabled.

The tree shows some more frequent merge commits a few months ago - 
later portions were kept clean as the other -tip branches. There's 
one stray looking (and harmless) commit i noticed:

  b09d250: mutex: drop "inline" from mutex_lock() inside kernel/mutex.c

This got there due the atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock() API being first 
used in and originating from perfcounters. That API went upstream in 
the previous merge window already, it was cherry-picked out of the 
perfcounters tree, the upstream commit is:

  b1fca26: mutex: add atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock()

There's also interactions with the irqinit unification which went 
upstream yesterday. (There were so many non-trivial conflicts that i 
pre-merged your current latest tree into this tree and tested the 
result.)

Please pull if you find it acceptable.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
