2008-12-11perf counters: update docsIngo Molnar
Impact: update docs Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-11perf counters: clean up state transitionsIngo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Introduce a proper enum for the 3 states of a counter: PERF_COUNTER_STATE_OFF = -1 PERF_COUNTER_STATE_INACTIVE = 0 PERF_COUNTER_STATE_ACTIVE = 1 and rename counter->active to counter->state and propagate the changes everywhere. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-11perf counters: add prctl interface to disable/enable countersIngo Molnar
Add a way for self-monitoring tasks to disable/enable counters summarily, via a prctl: PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_DISABLE 31 PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE 32 Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-11perf counters: implement PERF_COUNT_TASK_CLOCKIngo Molnar
Impact: add new perf-counter type The 'task clock' counter counts the amount of time a task is executing, in nanoseconds. It stops ticking when a task is scheduled out either due to it blocking, sleeping or it being preempted. This counter type is a Linux kernel based abstraction, it is available even if the hardware does not support native hardware performance counters. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-11perf counters: consolidate hw_perf save/restore APIsIngo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Rename them to better match up the usual IRQ disable/enable APIs: hw_perf_disable_all() => hw_perf_save_disable() hw_perf_restore_ctrl() => hw_perf_restore() Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-11perf counters: implement PERF_COUNT_CPU_CLOCKIngo Molnar
Impact: add new perf-counter type The 'CPU clock' counter counts the amount of CPU clock time that is elapsing, in nanoseconds. (regardless of how much of it the task is spending on a CPU executing) This counter type is a Linux kernel based abstraction, it is available even if the hardware does not support native hardware performance counters. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-11perf counters: hw driver APIIngo Molnar
Impact: restructure code, introduce hw_ops driver abstraction Introduce this abstraction to handle counter details: struct hw_perf_counter_ops { void (*hw_perf_counter_enable) (struct perf_counter *counter); void (*hw_perf_counter_disable) (struct perf_counter *counter); void (*hw_perf_counter_read) (struct perf_counter *counter); }; This will be useful to support assymetric hw details, and it will also be useful to implement "software counters". (Counters that count kernel managed sw events such as pagefaults, context-switches, wall-clock time or task-local time.) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-11perf counters: group counter, fixesIngo Molnar
Impact: bugfix Check that a group does not span outside the context of a CPU or a task. Also, do not allow deep recursive hierarchies. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-11perf counters: add support for group countersIngo Molnar
Impact: add group counters This patch adds the "counter groups" abstraction. Groups of counters behave much like normal 'single' counters, with a few semantic and behavioral extensions on top of that. A counter group is created by creating a new counter with the open() syscall's group-leader group_fd file descriptor parameter pointing to another, already existing counter. Groups of counters are scheduled in and out in one atomic group, and they are also roundrobin-scheduled atomically. Counters that are member of a group can also record events with an (atomic) extended timestamp that extends to all members of the group, if the record type is set to PERF_RECORD_GROUP. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-11perf counters: restructure the APIIngo Molnar
Impact: clean up new API Thorough cleanup of the new perf counters API, we now get clean separation of the various concepts: - introduce perf_counter_hw_event to separate out the event source details - move special type flags into separate attributes: PERF_COUNT_NMI, PERF_COUNT_RAW - extend the type to u64 and reserve it fully to the architecture in the raw type case. And make use of all these changes in the core and x86 perfcounters code. Also change the syscall signature to: asmlinkage int sys_perf_counter_open( struct perf_counter_hw_event *hw_event_uptr __user, pid_t pid, int cpu, int group_fd); ( Note that group_fd is unused for now - it's reserved for the counter groups abstraction. ) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-11perf counters: expand use of counter->eventThomas Gleixner
Impact: change syscall, cleanup Make use of the new perf_counters event type. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-11perf counters: clean up 'raw' type APIThomas Gleixner
Impact: cleanup Introduce a separate hw_event type. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-11perf counters: protect them against CSTATE transitionsThomas Gleixner
Impact: fix rare lost events problem There are CPUs whose performance counters misbehave on CSTATE transitions, so provide a way to just disable/enable them around deep idle methods. (hw_perf_enable_all() is cheap on x86.) Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-09perfcounters: consolidate global-disable codepathsIngo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Simplify global disable handling. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-09perfcounters, x86: clean up debug codeIngo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Get rid of unused debug code. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-09perfcounters, x86: simplify disable/enable of countersIngo Molnar
Impact: fix spurious missed counter wakeups In the case of NMI events, close a race window that can occur if an NMI hits counter code that temporarily disables+enables a counter, and the NMI leaks into the disabled section. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-08perfcounters: select ANON_INODESIngo Molnar
The perfcounters subsystem depends on CONFIG_ANON_INODES facilities, so make sure it's selected. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-08x86, perfcounters: read out MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS with counters disabledIngo Molnar
Impact: make perfcounter NMI and IRQ sequence more robust Make __smp_perf_counter_interrupt() a bit more conservative: first disable all counters, then read out the status. Most invocations are because there are real events, so there's no performance impact. Code flow gets a bit simpler as well this way. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-08performance counters: x86 supportIngo Molnar
Implement performance counters for x86 Intel CPUs. It's simplified right now: the PERFMON CPU feature is assumed, which is available in Core2 and later Intel CPUs. The design is flexible to be extended to more CPU types as well. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-08performance counters: documentationIngo Molnar
Add more documentation about performance counters. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-08performance counters: core codeThomas Gleixner
Implement the core kernel bits of Performance Counters subsystem. The Linux Performance Counter subsystem provides an abstraction of performance counter hardware capabilities. It provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event capabilities on top of those. Performance counters are accessed via special file descriptors. There's one file descriptor per virtual counter used. The special file descriptor is opened via the perf_counter_open() system call: int perf_counter_open(u32 hw_event_type, u32 hw_event_period, u32 record_type, pid_t pid, int cpu); The syscall returns the new fd. The fd can be used via the normal VFS system calls: read() can be used to read the counter, fcntl() can be used to set the blocking mode, etc. Multiple counters can be kept open at a time, and the counters can be poll()ed. See more details in Documentation/perf-counters.txt. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-12-05Fix a race condition in FASYNC handlingJonathan Corbet
Changeset a238b790d5f99c7832f9b73ac8847025815b85f7 (Call fasync() functions without the BKL) introduced a race which could leave file->f_flags in a state inconsistent with what the underlying driver/filesystem believes. Revert that change, and also fix the same races in ioctl_fioasync() and ioctl_fionbio(). This is a minimal, short-term fix; the real fix will not involve the BKL.

2008-12-05Enforce a minimum SG_IO timeoutLinus Torvalds
There's no point in having too short SG_IO timeouts, since if the command does end up timing out, we'll end up through the reset sequence that is several seconds long in order to abort the command that timed out. As a result, shorter timeouts than a few seconds simply do not make sense, as the recovery would be longer than the timeout itself. Add a BLK_MIN_SG_TIMEOUT to match the existign BLK_DEFAULT_SG_TIMEOUT.

2008-12-05Revert "ACPI: battery: Convert discharge energy rate to current properly"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 558073dd56707864f09d563b64e7c37c021e89d2, along with the failed try to fix the regression it caused ("ACPI: Fix ACPI battery regression introduced by commit 558073"), which just made things worse. Commit aaad077638be1a25871bcae5e43952d6b63abfca (that failed "Fix ACPI battery regression") got the voltage conversion confused, and fixed the problem with Rafael's battery monitor apparently just by mistake. So revert them both, getting us back to the 2.6.27 state in this, and let's revisit it when people understand what's going on. Noted-by: Paul Martin <pm@debian.org> Requested-by: Rafael J.

2008-12-05[XFS] Fix hang after disallowed rename across directory quota domainsDave Chinner
When project quota is active and is being used for directory tree quota control, we disallow rename outside the current directory tree. This requires a check to be made after all the inodes involved in the rename are locked. We fail to unlock the inodes correctly if we disallow the rename when the target is outside the current directory tree. This results in a hang on the next access to the inodes involved in failed rename.
