 .../linux/arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c: In function ‘op_nmi_init’:
 .../linux/arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c:784: error: expected expression before ‘do’
 make[2]: *** [arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.o] Error 1
 make[1]: *** [arch/x86/oprofile] Error 2

This patch fixes this.

10f0412f57 oprofile, x86: fix init_sysfs error handling
On failure init_sysfs() might not properly free resources. The error
code of the function is not checked. And, when reinitializing the exit
function might be called twice. This patch fixes all this.

a7c55cbee0 oprofile: add support for Intel processor model 30
Newer Intel processors identifying themselves as model 30 are not recognized by
oprofile.

<cpuinfo snippet>
model           : 30
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X3470  @ 2.93GHz
</cpuinfo snippet>

Running oprofile on these machines gives the following:
+ opcontrol --init
+ opcontrol --list-events
oprofile: available events for CPU type "Intel Architectural Perfmon"

See Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual
Volume 3B (Document 253669) Chapter 18 for architectural perfmon events
This is a limited set of fallback events because oprofile doesn't know your CPU
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED: (counter: all)

45c34e05c4 Oprofile: Change CPUIDS from decimal to hex, and add some comments
Back when the patch was submitted for "Add Xeon 7500 series support to
oprofile", Robert Richter had asked for a followon patch that
converted all the CPU ID values to hex.

I have done that here for the "i386/core_i7" and "i386/atom" class
processors in the ppro_init() function and also added some comments on
where to find documentation on the Intel processors.

bae663bc63 oprofile/x86: make AMD IBS hotplug capable
Current IBS code is not hotplug capable. An offline cpu might not be
initialized or deinitialized properly. This patch fixes this by
removing on_each_cpu() functions. The IBS init/deinit code is executed
in the per-cpu functions model->setup_ctrs() and model->cpu_down()
which are also called by hotplug notifiers. model->cpu_down() replaces
model->exit() that became obsolete.

3de668ee8d oprofile/x86: notify cpus only when daemon is running
This patch moves the cpu notifier registration from nmi_init() to
nmi_setup(). The corresponding unregistration function is now in
nmi_shutdown(). Thus, the hotplug code is only active, if the oprofile
daemon is running.

de65464973 oprofile/x86: stop disabled counters in nmi handler
This patch adds checks to the nmi handler. Now samples are only
generated and counters reenabled, if the counters are running.
Otherwise the counters are stopped, if oprofile is using the nmi. In
other cases it will ignore the nmi notification.

6ae56b55bc oprofile/x86: protect cpu hotplug sections
This patch reworks oprofile cpu hotplug code as follows:

Introduce ctr_running variable to check, if counters are running or
not. The state must be known for taking a cpu on or offline and when
switching counters during counter multiplexing.

Protect on_each_cpu() sections with get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpu()
functions. This is necessary if notifiers or states are
modified. Within these sections the cpu mask may not change.

Switch only between counters in nmi_cpu_switch(), if counters are
running. Otherwise the switch may restart a counter though they are
disabled.

Add nmi_cpu_setup() and nmi_cpu_shutdown() to cpu hotplug code. The
function must also be called to avoid uninitialzed counter usage.

2623a1d55a oprofile/x86: fix uninitialized counter usage during cpu hotplug
This fixes a NULL pointer dereference that is triggered when taking a
cpu offline after oprofile was initialized, e.g.:

 $ opcontrol --init
 $ opcontrol --start-daemon
 $ opcontrol --shutdown
 $ opcontrol --deinit
 $ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

See the crash dump below. Though the counter has been disabled the cpu
notifier is still active and trying to use already freed counter data.

This fix is for linux-stable. To proper fix this, the hotplug code
must be rewritten. Thus I will leave a WARN_ON_ONCE() message with
this patch.

8588d10671 oprofile/x86: add comment to counter-in-use warning
Currently, oprofile fails silently on platforms where a non-OS entity
such as the system firmware "enables" and uses a performance
counter. There is a warning in the code for this case.

The warning indicates an already running counter. If oprofile doesn't
collect data, then try using a different performance counter on your
platform to monitor the desired event. Delete the counter from the
desired event by editing the

 /usr/share/oprofile/<cpu_type>/<cpu>/events

file. If the event cannot be monitored by any other counter, contact
your hardware or BIOS vendor.

ba52078e19 oprofile/x86: implement randomization for IBS periodic op counter
IBS selects an op (execution operation) for sampling by counting
either cycles or dispatched ops. Better statistical samples can be
produced by adding a software generated random offset to the periodic
op counter value with each sample.

This patch adds software randomization to the IBS periodic op
counter. The lower 12 bits of the 20 bit counter are
randomized. IbsOpCurCnt is initialized with a 12 bit random value.

There is a work around if the hw can not write to IbsOpCurCnt. Then
the lower 8 bits of the 16 bit IbsOpMaxCnt [15:0] value are randomized
in the range of -128 to +127 by adding/subtracting an offset to the
maximum count (IbsOpMaxCnt).

The linear feedback shift register (LFSR) algorithm is used for
pseudo-random number generation to have low impact to the memory
system.

f125be1469 oprofile/x86: implement lsfr pseudo-random number generator for IBS
This patch implements a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) for
pseudo-random number generation for IBS.

For IBS measurements it would be good to minimize memory traffic in
the interrupt handler since every access pollutes the data
caches. Computing a maximal period LFSR just needs shifts and ORs.

The LFSR method is good enough to randomize the ops at low
overhead. 16 pseudo-random bits are enough for the implementation and
it doesn't matter that the pattern repeats with a fairly short
cycle. It only needs to break up (hard) periodic sampling behavior.

The logic was designed by Paul Drongowski.

64683da664 oprofile/x86: implement IBS cpuid feature detection
This patch adds IBS feature detection using cpuid flags. An IBS
capability mask is introduced to test for certain IBS features. The
bit mask is the same as for IBS cpuid feature flags (Fn8000_001B_EAX),
but bit 0 is used to indicate the existence of IBS.

The patch also changes the handling of the IbsOpCntCtl bit (periodic
op counter count control). The oprofilefs file for this feature
(ibs_op/dispatched_ops) will be only exposed if the feature is
available, also the default for the bit is set to count clock cycles.

In general, the userland can detect the availability of a feature by
checking for the corresponding file in oprofilefs. If it exists, the
feature also exists. This may lead to a dynamic file layout depending
on the cpu type with that the userland has to deal with. Current
opcontrol is compatible.

89baaaa98a oprofile/x86: remove node check in AMD IBS initialization
Standard AMD systems have the same number of nodes as there are
northbridge devices. However, there may kernel configurations
(especially for 32 bit) or system setups exist, where the node number
is different or it can not be detected properly. Thus the check is not
reliable and may fail though IBS setup was fine. For this reason it is
better to remove the check.

61c1917f47 perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optional
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.

But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
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. )
