      perf: New migration tool overview · 880d22f2
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      This brings a GUI tool that displays an overview of the load
      of tasks proportion in each CPUs.
      
      The CPUs forward progress is cut in timeslices. A new timeslice
      is created for every runqueue event: a task gets pushed out or
      pulled in the runqueue.
      
      For each timeslice, every CPUs rectangle is colored with a red
      power that describes the local load against the total load.
      This more red is the rectangle, the higher is the given CPU load.
      This load is the number of tasks running on the CPU, without
      any distinction against the scheduler policy of the tasks, for
      now.
      
      Also for each timeslice, the event origin is depicted on the
      CPUs that triggered it using a thin colored line on top of the
      rectangle timeslice.
      
      These events are:
      
      * sleep: a task went to sleep and has then been pulled out the
        runqueue. The origin color in the thin line is dark blue.
      
      * wake up: a task woke up and has then been pushed in the
        runqueue. The origin color is yellow.
      
      * wake up new: a new task woke up and has then been pushed in the
        runqueue. The origin color is green.
      
      * migrate in: a task migrated in the runqueue due to a load
        balancing operation. The origin color is violet.
      
      * migrate out: reverse of the previous one. Migrate in events
        usually have paired migrate out events in another runqueue.
        The origin color is light blue.
      
      Clicking on a timeslice provides the runqueue event details
      and the runqueue state.
      
      The CPU rectangles can be navigated using the usual arrow
      controls. Horizontal zooming in/out is possible with the
      "+" and "-" buttons.

      tracing: Drop cpparg() macro · 819ce45a
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Drop the cpparg() macro that wraps CPP parameters. We already have
      the PARAM() macro for that, no need to have several versions.

      perf: Use tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() to flush any pending tracepoint call · 669336e4
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      We use synchronize_sched() to ensure a tracepoint won't be called
      while/after we release the perf buffers it references.
      
      But the tracepoint API has its own API for that:
      tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(). Use it instead as it's
      self-explanatory and eases maintainance.

      trace: strlen() return doesn't account for the NULL · 24a461d5
      Dan Carpenter authored
      We need to add one to the strlen() return because of the NULL
      character.  The type->name here generally comes from the kernel and I
      don't think any of them come close to being MAX_TRACER_SIZE (100)
      characters long so this is basically a cleanup.

      tracing: Fix $mcount_regex for MIPS in recordmcount.pl · a484e54f
      David Daney authored
      I found this issue in a locally patched 2.6.32.x, current kernels have
      moved the offending code to an __init function which is skipped by
      recordmcount.pl, so the bug is not currently being exercised.
      However, I think the patch is still a good idea, to avoid future
      problems if _mcount were to ever have its address taken in normal
      code.
      
      This is what I originally saw:
      
          Although arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c is built without -pg, and thus
          contains no calls to _mcount, it does use the address of _mcount
          in ftrace_make_nop().  This was causing relocations to be emitted
          for _mcount which recordmcount.pl erronously took to be _mcount
          call sites.  The result was that the text of ftrace_make_nop()
          would be patched with garbage leading to a system crash.
      
      In non-module code, all _mcount call sites will have R_MIPS_26
      relocations, so we restrict $mcount_regex to only match on these.

      x86 cpufreq, perf: Make trace_power_frequency cpufreq driver independent · 4c21adf2
      Thomas Renninger authored
      and fix the broken case if a core's frequency depends on others.
      
      trace_power_frequency was only implemented in a rather ungeneric
      way in acpi-cpufreq driver's target() function only.
      
      -> Move the call to trace_power_frequency to
         cpufreq.c:cpufreq_notify_transition() where CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
         notifier is triggered.
         This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq
         drivers.
      
      trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly
      when the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores'
      frequency depend on each other.
      
      -> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu
         which gets switched automatically fixes this.
      
      Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my
      initial quick shot version which are integrated in this patch:
      - Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names)
      - Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id
      - Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id
