      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      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. )

      perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list · 65abc865
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      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.

      perf_counter, powerpc, sparc: Fix compilation after perf_counter_overflow() change · cd74c86b
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      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().

      USB serial: update the console driver · 7bd032dc
      Alan Stern authored 
      This patch (as1292) modifies the USB serial console driver, to make it
compatible with the recent changes to the USB serial core.  The most
important change is that serial->disc_mutex now has to be unlocked
following a successful call to usb_serial_get_by_index().

Other less notable changes include:

	Use the requested port number instead of port 0 always.

	Prevent the serial device from being autosuspended.

	Use the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED flag bit to indicate when the
	port hardware has been initialized.

In spite of these changes, there's no question that the USB serial
console code is still a big hack.

      usb-serial: straighten out serial_open · 320348c8
      Alan Stern authored 
      This patch (as1291) removes a bunch of code from serial_open(), things
that were rendered unnecessary by earlier patches.  A missing spinlock
is added to protect port->port.count, which needs to be incremented
even if the open fails but not if the tty has gotten a hangup.  The
test for whether the hardware has been initialized, based on the use
count, is replaced by a more transparent test of the
ASYNCB_INITIALIZED bit in the port flags.

      usb-serial: add missing tests and debug lines · ff8324df
      Alan Stern authored 
      This patch (as1290) adds some missing tests.  serial_down() isn't
supposed to do anything if the hardware hasn't been initialized, and
serial_close() isn't supposed to do anything if the tty has gotten a
hangup (because serial_hangup() takes care of shutting down the
hardware).

The patch also updates and adds a few debugging lines.

      usb-serial: acquire references when a new tty is installed · cc56cd01
      Alan Stern authored 
      This patch (as1287) makes serial_install() be reponsible for acquiring
references to the usb_serial structure and the driver module when a
tty is first used.  This is more sensible than having serial_open() do
it, because a tty can be opened many times whereas it is installed
only once, when it is created.  (Not to mention that these actions are
reversed when the tty is released, not when it is closed.)  Finally,
it is at install time that the TTY core takes its own reference to the
usb_serial module, so it is only fitting that we should act the same
way in regard to the lower-level serial driver.

      usb-serial: change logic of serial lookups · 8bc2c1b2
      Alan Stern authored 
      This patch (as1286) changes usb_serial_get_by_index().  Now the
routine will check whether the serial device has been disconnected; if
it has then the return value will be NULL.  If the device hasn't been
disconnected then the routine will return with serial->disc_mutex
held, so that the caller can use the structure without fear of racing
against driver unloads.

This permits the scope of table_mutex in destroy_serial() to be
reduced.  Instead of protecting the entire function, it suffices to
protect the part that actually uses serial_table[], i.e., the call to
return_serial().  There's no longer any danger of the refcount being
incremented after it reaches 0 (which was the reason for having the
large scope previously), because it can't reach 0 until the serial
device has been disconnected.

Also, the patch makes serial_install() check that serial is non-NULL
before attempting to use it.
