With this patch the OProfile Basic Mode Sampling support for System z
is enhanced with a counter file system. That way hardware sampling
can be configured using the user space tools with only little
modifications.
With the patch by default new cpu_types (s390/z10, s390/z196) are
returned in order to indicate that we are running a CPU which provides
the hardware sampling facility. Existing user space tools will
complain about an unknown cpu type. In order to be compatible with
existing user space tools the `cpu_type' module parameter has been
added. Setting the parameter to `timer' will force the module to
return `timer' as cpu_type. The module will still try to use hardware
sampling if available and the hwsampling virtual filesystem will be
also be available for configuration. So this has a different effect
than using the generic oprofile module parameter `timer=1'.
If the basic mode sampling is enabled on the machine and the
cpu_type=timer parameter is not used the kernel module will provide
the following virtual filesystem:
/dev/oprofile/0/enabled
/dev/oprofile/0/event
/dev/oprofile/0/count
/dev/oprofile/0/unit_mask
/dev/oprofile/0/kernel
/dev/oprofile/0/user
In the counter file system only the values of 'enabled', 'count',
'kernel', and 'user' are evaluated by the kernel module. Everything
else must contain fixed values.
The 'event' value only supports a single event - HWSAMPLING with value
0.
The 'count' value specifies the hardware sampling rate as it is passed
to the CPU measurement facility.
The 'kernel' and 'user' flags can now be used to filter for samples
when using hardware sampling.
Additionally also the following file will be created:
/dev/oprofile/timer/enabled
This will always be the inverted value of /dev/oprofile/0/enabled. 0
is not accepted without hardware sampling.

The hardware sample cpu hotplug notifier always returns NOTIFY_BAD.
That will prevent cpu hotplug if the machine is enabled for hardware
sampling even if it is not used. Fix the cpu hotplug notifier and
allow cpu hotplug if hardware sampling is unused.

This adds support for hardware based sampling on System z processors
(models z10 and up).
System z's hardware sampling is described in detail in:
SA23-2260-01 "The Load-Program-Parameter and CPU-Measurement Facilities"
The patch introduces
- support for System z's hardware sampler in OProfile's kernel module
- it adds functions that control all hardware sampling related
operations as:
- checking if hardware sampling feature is available, i.e.: on
System z models z10 and up, in LPAR mode only, and authorised
during LPAR activation
- allocating memory for the hardware sampling feature
- starting/stopping hardware sampling
All functions required to start and stop hardware sampling have to be
invoked by the oprofile kernel module as provided by the other patches
of this patch set.
In case hardware based sampling cannot be setup standard timer based
sampling is used by OProfile.
Applied with following changes:
* enable compilation in Makefile
