2011-11-04oprofile: Remove exit function for timer modeRobert Richter
Remove exit functions by moving init/exit code to oprofile's setup/ shutdown functions. Doing so the oprofile module exit code will be easier and less error-prone. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2011-11-04oprofile: Fix crash when unloading module (hr timer mode)Robert Richter
Oprofile may crash in a KVM guest while unlaoding modules. This happens if oprofile_arch_init() fails and oprofile switches to the hr timer mode as a fallback. In this case oprofile_arch_exit() is called, but it never was initialized properly which causes the crash. This patch fixes this. oprofile: using timer interrupt.

2011-02-15oprofile, s390: Rework hwsampler implementationRobert Richter
This patch is a rework of the hwsampler oprofile implementation that has been applied recently. Now there are less non-architectural changes. The only changes are: * introduction of oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample(), and * removal of section attributes of oprofile_timer_init/_exit(). To setup hwsampler for oprofile we need to modify start()/stop() callbacks and additional hwsampler control files in oprofilefs. We do not reinitialize the timer or hwsampler mode by restarting calling init/exit() anymore, instead hwsampler_running is used to switch the mode directly in oprofile_hwsampler_start/_stop(). For locking reasons there is also hwsampler_file that reflects the value in oprofilefs. The overall diffstat of the oprofile s390 hwsampler implemenation shows the low impact to non-architectural code: arch/Kconfig | 3 + arch/s390/Kconfig | 1 + arch/s390/oprofile/Makefile | 2 +- arch/s390/oprofile/hwsampler.c | 1256 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/s390/oprofile/hwsampler.h | 113 +++ arch/s390/oprofile/hwsampler_files.c | 162 +++++ arch/s390/oprofile/init.c | 6 +- drivers/oprofile/cpu_buffer.c | 24 +- drivers/oprofile/timer_int.c | 4 +- include/linux/oprofile.h | 7 + 10 files changed, 1567 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) Acked-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2011-02-15oprofile, s390: Enhance OProfile to support System zs hardware sampling featureHeinz Graalfs
OProfile is enhanced to export all files for controlling System z's hardware sampling, and to invoke hwsampler exported functions to initialize and use System z's hardware sampling. The patch invokes hwsampler_setup() during oprofile init and exports following hwsampler files under oprofilefs if hwsampler's setup succeeded: A new directory for hardware sampling based files /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/ The userland daemon must explicitly write to the following files to disable (or enable) hardware based sampling /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hwsampler to modify the actual sampling rate /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_interval to modify the amount of sampling memory (measured in 4K pages) /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_sdbt_blocks The following files are read only and show the possible minimum sampling rate /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_min_interval the possible maximum sampling rate /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_max_interval The patch splits the oprofile_timer_[init/exit] function so that it can be also called through user context (oprofilefs) to avoid kernel oops.

2010-10-29oprofile: Fix the hang while taking the cpu offlineSantosh Shilimkar
The kernel build with CONFIG_OPROFILE and CPU_HOTPLUG enabled. The oprofile is initialised using system timer in absence of hardware counters supports. Oprofile isn't started from userland. In this setup while doing a CPU offline the kernel hangs in infinite for loop inside lock_hrtimer_base() function This happens because as part of oprofile_cpu_notify(, it tries to stop an hrtimer which was never started. These per-cpu hrtimers are started when the oprfile is started. echo 1 > /dev/oprofile/enable This problem also existwhen the cpu is booted with maxcpus parameter set. When bringing the remaining cpus online the timers are started even if oprofile is not yet enabled. This patch fix this issue by adding a state variable so that these hrtimer start/stop is only attempted when oprofile is started For stable kernels v2.6.35.y and v2.6.36.y.

2010-03-02oprofile: convert oprofile from timer_hook to hrtimerMartin Schwidefsky
Oprofile is currently broken on systems running with NOHZ enabled. A maximum of 1 tick is accounted via the timer_hook if a cpu sleeps for a longer period of time. This does bad things to the percentages in the profiler output. To solve this problem convert oprofile to use a restarting hrtimer instead of the timer_hook.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
