Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]

This patchset is the re-spin of the original branch stack sampling
patchset which introduced new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND branch filter. This patchset
also enables SW based branch filtering support for book3s powerpc platforms which
have PMU HW backed branch stack sampling support.

Summary of code changes in this patchset:

(1) Introduces a new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND branch filter
(2) Add the "cond" branch filter options in the "perf record" tool
(3) Enable PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND in X86 platforms
(4) Enable PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND in POWER8 platform
(5) Update the documentation regarding "perf record" tool
(6) Add some new powerpc instruction analysis functions in code-patching library
(7) Enable SW based branch filter support for powerpc book3s
(8) Changed BHRB configuration in POWER8 to accommodate SW branch filters

With this new SW enablement, the branch filter support for book3s platforms have
been extended to include all these combinations discussed below with a sample test
application program (included here).

Changes in V2
=============
(1) Enabled PPC64 SW branch filtering support
(2) Incorporated changes required for all previous comments

Changes in V3
=============
(1) Split the SW branch filter enablement into multiple patches
(2) Added PMU neutral SW branch filtering code, PMU specific HW branch filtering code
(3) Added new instruction analysis functionality into powerpc code-patching library
(4) Changed name for some of the functions
(5) Fixed couple of spelling mistakes
(6) Changed code documentation in multiple places

Changes in V4
=============
(1) Changed the commit message for patch (01/10)
(2) Changed the patch (02/10) to accommodate review comments from Michael Ellerman
(3) Rebased the patchset against latest Linus's tree

Changes in V5
=============
(1) Added a precursor patch to cleanup the indentation problem in power_pmu_bhrb_read
(2) Added a precursor patch to re-arrange P8 PMU BHRB filter config which improved the clarity
(3) Merged the previous 10th patch into the 8th patch
(4) Moved SW based branch analysis code from core perf into code-patching library as suggested by Michael
(5) Simplified the logic in branch analysis library
(6) Fixed some ambiguities in documentation at various places
(7) Added some more in-code documentation blocks at various places
(8) Renamed some local variable and function names
(9) Fixed some indentation and white space errors in the code
(10) Implemented almost all the review comments and suggestions made by Michael Ellerman on V4 patchset
(11) Enabled privilege mode SW branch filter
(12) Simplified and generalized the SW implemented conditional branch filter
(13) PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND filter is now supported only through SW implementation
(14) Adjusted other patches to deal with the above changes

Changes in V6
=============
(1) Rebased the patchset against the master
(2) Added "Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen" in the first four patches in the series which changes the
generic or X86 perf code. [https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/7/130]
