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. )

This fixes up a number of outstanding issues observed with old mappings
on the same colour hanging around. This requires some more optimal
handling, but is a safe fallback until all of the corner cases have been
handled.

This fixes up the kmap_coherent/kunmap_coherent() interface for recent
changes both in the page fault path and the shared cache flushers, as
well as adding in some optimizations.
One of the key things to note here is that the TLB flush itself is
deferred until the unmap, and the call in to update_mmu_cache() itself
goes away, relying on the regular page fault path to handle the lazy
dcache writeback if necessary.

This builds on top of the previous reversion and implements a special
on_each_cpu() variant that simple disables preemption across the call
while leaving the interrupt state to the function itself. There were some
unintended consequences with IRQ disabling in some of these paths on UP
that ran in to a deadlock scenario with IRQs being missed.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
This reverts commit 64a6d72213.
Unfortunately we can't use on_each_cpu() for all of the cache ops, as
some of them only require preempt disabling. This seems to be the same
issue that impacts the mips r4k caches, where this code was based on.
This fixes up a deadlock that showed up in some IRQ context cases.

This adopts the special-cased 2-way write-through dcache flusher for
N-ways and moves it in to the generic path. Assignment is done at runtime
via the check for the CCR_CACHE_WT bit in the same path as the per-way
writeback flushers.

This does a bit of rework for making the cache flushers SMP-aware. The
function pointer-based flushers are renamed to local variants with the
exported interface being commonly implemented and wrapping as necessary.

This fixes up the build when caches are disabled, by linking in all of
the cache routines directly. This paves the way for splitting out
separate I and D cache disabling, similar to what sh64 had, and which
we want for SH-X3 anyways.

Now that the SH-5 code is more or less behaving with the new cacheflush
interface, wire up the initialization code.

These will be handled through the shared cache interface instead, and
they are presently undefined anyways.

The caches enabled case needs more work, but is presently broken
regardless, so this can be done incrementally.

This paves the way for allowing individual CPUs to overload the
individual flushing routines that they care about without having to
depend on weak aliases. SH-4 is converted over initially, as it wires
up pretty much everything. The majority of the other CPUs will simply use
the default no-op implementation with their own region flushers wired up.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
We use flush_cache_page() outright in copy_to_user_page(), and nothing
else needs it, so just kill it off. SH-5 still defines its own version,
but that too will go away in the same fashion once it converts over.

flush_dcache_all() is used internally by the SH-4 cache code, it is not
part of the exported cache API, so make it static and don't export it.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
This migrates the alias computation and printing of probed cache
parameters from the SH-4 code to the shared cpu_cache_init().
This permits other platforms with aliases to make use of the same
probe logic without having to roll their own, and also produces
consistent output regardless of platform.

This provides a central point for CPU cache initialization routines.
This replaces the antiquated p3_cache_init() method, which the vast
majority of CPUs never cared about.

These were previous littered around tlb-nommu.c and pg-nommu.c, though at
this point there are more stubs than are strictly TLB or page op related,
so just consolidate them in a single nommu.c.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
This does a bit of reorganizing for allowing nommu to use the new
and generic cache.c, no functional changes.

This builds in the newly created cache.c (renamed from pg-mmu.c) for both
MMU and NOMMU configurations. The kmap_coherent() stubs and alias
information recorded by each CPU family takes care of doing the right
thing while enabling the code to be commonly shared.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
This plugs in kmap_coherent() for the non-SH4 cases to permit the
pg-mmu.c bits to be used generically across all CPUs. SH-5 is still in
the TODO state, but will move over to fixmap and the generic interface
gradually.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
This kills off the ifdef from kmap_coherent_init() and just bails if
there are no cache aliases. This permits the kmap coherent code to be
used on other CPUs.

This only bothers with the TLB entry flush in the case of the initial

This adds a bit of rework to have the TLB protection violations skip the
TLB miss fastpath and go directly in to do_page_fault(), as these require

This optimizes for the cases when a CPU does not yet have a valid ASID
context associated with it, as in this case there is no work for any of
flush_cache_mm()/flush_cache_page()/flush_cache_range() to do. Based on

Now with all of the prep work out of the way, kill off the SH-5 variants
and use the SH-4 version directly. This also takes advantage of the
unrolling that was previously done for the new version.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
This plugs in some register alignment helpers for the shared flushers,
allowing them to also be used on SH-5. The main rationale here is that
in the SH-5 case we have a variable ABI, where the pointer size may not
equal the register width. This register extension is taken care of by
the SH-5 code already today, and is otherwise unused on the SH-4 code.
This combines the two and allows us to kill off the SH-5 implementation.

This consolidates all of the NEFF-based sign extension for SH-5.
