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 is in preparation of the big rename, but also makes sense
in a standalone way: 'list_entry' is a bad name as we already
have a list_entry() in list.h.
Also, the 'counter list' is too vague, it doesnt tell us the
purpose of that list.
Clarify these names to show that it's all about the group
hiearchy.

Commit 5622f295 ("x86, perf_counter, bts: Optimize BTS overflow
handling") removed the regs field from struct perf_sample_data and
added a regs parameter to perf_counter_overflow(). This breaks the
build on powerpc (and Sparc) as reported by Sachin Sant:
arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c: In function 'record_and_restart':
arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c:1165: error: unknown field 'regs' specified in initializer
This adjusts arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c to correspond with the
new struct perf_sample_data and perf_counter_overflow().
[ v2: also fix Sparc, Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> ]

VGA arb requires DRM support for non-kms drivers, to turn on/off
irqs when disabling the mem/io regions.
VGA arb requires KMS support for GPUs where we can turn off VGA
decoding. Currently we know how to do this for intel and radeon
kms drivers, which allows them to be removed from the arbiter.

Ingo points out that I screwed up when merging the 'timers-for-linus'
branch in commit a03fdb7612.
A bit too much copy-and-pasting caused the end result to have an
extraneous 'return' in the middle of an expression. That was obviously
bogus. Blush.

On an AMD-64 system the processor frequency that is printed during
system boot, may be different than the tsc frequency that was
returned by the hypervisor, due to the value returned from
calibrate_cpu.
For debugging timekeeping or other related issues it might be
better to get the tsc_khz value returned by the hypervisor.
The patch below now prints the tsc frequency that the VMware
hypervisor returned.
