MIPS: perf: Reorganize contents of perf support files.

2011-10-24T22:34:26Z

The contents of arch/mips/kernel/perf_event.c and arch/mips/kernel/perf_event_mipsxx.c were divided in a seemingly ad hoc manner, with the first including the second. I moved all the hardware counter support code to perf_event_mipsxx.c and removed the gating #ifdefs to the Kconfig and Makefile. Now perf_event.c contains only the callchain support, everything else is in perf_event_mipsxx.c There are no code changes, only moving of functions from one file to the other, or removing empty unneeded functions.

MIPS: jump label: Add MIPS support.

2011-01-18T18:30:24Z

In order not to be left behind, we add jump label support for MIPS. Tested on 64-bit big endian (Octeon), and 32-bit little endian (malta/qemu).

MIPS: Add generic support for multiple machines within a single kernel

2011-01-18T18:30:21Z

This patch adds a generic solution to support multiple machines based on a given SoC within a single kernel image. It is implemented already for several other architectures but MIPS has no generic support for that yet. [Ralf: This competes with DT but DT is a much more complex solution and this code has been used by OpenWRT for a long time so for now DT is a bad reason to stop the merge but longer term this should be migrated to DT.] Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: kaloz@openwrt.org Cc: Luis R.

MIPS: add support for hardware performance events (skeleton)

2010-10-29T18:08:48Z

This patch provides the skeleton of the HW perf event support. To enable this feature, we can not choose the SMTC kernel; Oprofile should be disabled; kernel performance events be selected. Then we can enable it in Kernel type menu. Oprofile for MIPS platforms initializes irq at arch init time. Currently we do not change this logic to allow PMU reservation. If a platform has EIC, we can use the irq base and perf counter irq offset defines for the interrupt controller in specific init_hw_perf_events(). Based on this skeleton patch, the 3 different kinds of MIPS PMU, namely, mipsxx/loongson2/rm9000, can be supported by adding corresponding lower level C files at the bottom. The suggested names of these files are perf_event_mipsxx.c/perf_event_loongson2.c/perf_event_rm9000.c. So, for example, we can do this by adding "#include perf_event_mipsxx.c" at the bottom of perf_event.c. In addition, PMUs with 64bit counters are also considered in this patch.

MIPS: kprobe: Add support.

2010-08-05T12:26:29Z

This patch is based on previous work by Sony and Himanshu Chauhan. I have done some cleanup and implemented JProbes and KRETPROBES. The KRETPROBES part is pretty much copied verbatim from powerpc. A possible future enhance might be to factor out the common code.

MIPS: Add -Werror to arch/mips/Kbuild

2010-08-05T12:25:44Z

Adding subdirs-ccflags-y := -Werror to arch/mips/Kbuild let us in one go cover all files with -Werror. In addition this allows us to remove the individual -Werror definition in various Makefile. Adding the definition to Kbuild as a recursive option help us not to forget to do so. With this change we now compile arch/mips/kernel/cpufreq with -Werror One drawback: When specifying a subdirectory covered by the Kbuild file like this: make arch/mips/kernel/ then kbuild fails to pick up the -Werror definition.

MIPS: Preliminary VDSO

2010-04-12T16:26:14Z

This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes. Still missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information. But it is enough to allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack. Note that emulation of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack. We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal trampolines into it. The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is mapped into this space.

MIPS: Crazy spinlock speed test.

2010-02-27T11:53:42Z

This is just a test program for raw_spinlocks. The main reason I wrote it is to validate my spinlock changes that I sent in a previous patch. To use it enable CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and CONFIG_SPINLOCK_TEST then at run time do: # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_single # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_multi On my 600MHz octeon cn5860 (16 CPUs) I get spin_single spin_multi base 106885 247941 spinlock_patch 75194 219465 This shows that for uncontended locks the spinlock patch gives 41% improvement and for contended locks 12% improvement (1/time).
