Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

The ColdFire "timers" clock setup can be simplified. There is really no
need for the flexible per-platform setup code. The clock interrupt can be

Currently the code that supports setting the old style ColdFire interrupt
controller mask registers is macros in the include files of each of the
CPU types. Merge all these into a set of real masking functions in the
old Coldfire interrupt controller code proper. All the macros are basically
the same (excepting a register size difference on really early parts).

The ColdFire 532x family of parts uses 2 of the same INTC interrupt

Create general interrupt controller code for the ColdFire 520x family,
that does proper masking and unmasking of interrupts. With this in
place some of the driver hacks in place to support ColdFire interrupts
can finally go away.
Within the ColdFire family there is a variety of different interrupt
controllers in use. Some are used on multiple parts, some on only one.
There is quite some differences in some varients, so much so that
common code for all ColdFire parts would be impossible.
This commit introduces code to support one of the newer interrupt
controllers in the ColdFire 5208 and 5207 parts. It has very simple
mask and unmask operations, so is one of the easiest to support.

In order to be able to use asm-offsets.h in C files the
existing namespace conflicts must be solved first. In
asm-offsets.h there are defines for signal constants, so they
can be used in assembler files.
Unfortunately the existing defines use a 1:1 mapping for the
macro names which results in name space conflicts if the header
file would also be used in C files. So rename the created
defines and add an "L" prefix to each one since that has
already been done for the SIGTRAP define in entry_mm.

m68k has the thread_info structure embedded in its task struct.
Therefore its not possible to implement current_thread_info()
by looking at the stack pointer and do some simple calculations
like most other architectures do it.
To return the thread_info pointer for a task two defines are
used. This works until the spinlock function bodies get moved
into an own header file and CONFIG_SPINLOCK_DEBUG is turned on.
That results into this compile error:
In file included from include/linux/spinlock.h:378,
from include/linux/seqlock.h:29,
from include/linux/time.h:8,
from include/linux/timex.h:56,
from include/linux/sched.h:54,
from arch/m68k/kernel/asm-offsets.c:12:
include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h: In function '__spin_unlock_irq':
include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:371: error: 'current' undeclared (first use in this function)
include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:371: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:371: error: for each function it appears in.)
Including asm/current.h to asm-offsets.c wouldn't help since
the definition of struct task is needed. So we end up with ugly
header file include dependencies.
To solve this calculate the offset of the thread_info structure
into the task struct in asm-offsets.h and use the offset in
task_thread_info(). This works just like it does for IA64 as
well.

In order to be able to use asm-offsets.h in C files the
existing namespace conflicts must be solved first. In
asm-offsets.h e.g. PT_D0 gets defined which is the offset of
the d0 member of the pt_regs structure. However a same define
(with a different meaning) exists in asm/ptregs.h.
So rename the defines created with the asm-offset mechanism to
PT_OFF_D0 etc. There also already exist a few defines with
these names that have the same meaning. So remove the existing
defines and use the asm-offset generated ones.

Similar to SO_TYPE returning the socket type, SO_PROTOCOL allows to
retrieve the protocol used with a given socket.
I am not quite sure why we have that-many copies of socket.h, and why
the values are not the same on all arches either, but for where hex
numbers dominate, I use 0x1029 for SO_PROTOCOL as that seems to be
the next free unused number across a bunch of operating systems, or
so Google results make me want to believe. SO_PROTOCOL for others
just uses the next free Linux number, 38.

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.
