Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 07:10:17 -0700 From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@...nkl.hpl.hp.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: eranian@....hp.com Subject: [PATCH 10/21] 2.6.18 perfmon2 : PMU context switch support This patch contains the PMU context switch routines. For per-thread contexts, the PMU state must be saved and restored on context switch. For systm-wide context we may need to intervene on certain architectures to cleanup certain registers. The PMU context switch code is concentrated into a single routine named pfm_ctxsw() which is called from __switch_to(). Because accessing PMU registers is usually much more expensive than accessing general registers, we take great care at minimizing the number of register accesses using various lazy save/restore schemes for both UP and SMP kernels. --- linux-2.6.18.base/perfmon/perfmon_ctxsw.c 1969-12-31 16:00:00.000000000 -0800 +++ linux-2.6.18/perfmon/perfmon_ctxsw.c 2006-09-26 02:32:47.000000000 -0700 @@ -0,0 +1,344 @@ +/* + * perfmon_cxtsw.c: perfmon2 context switch code + * + * This file implements the perfmon2 interface which + * provides access to the hardware performance counters + * of the host processor. + * + * The initial version of perfmon.c was written by + * Ganesh Venkitachalam, IBM Corp. + * + * Then it was modified for perfmon-1.x by Stephane Eranian and + * David Mosberger, Hewlett Packard Co. + * + * Version Perfmon-2.x is a complete rewrite of perfmon-1.x + * by Stephane Eranian, Hewlett Packard Co. + * + * Copyright (c) 1999-2006 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. + * Contributed by Stephane Eranian <eranian@....hp.com> + * David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@....hp.com> + * + * More information about perfmon available at: + * http://perfmon2.sf.net + * + * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or + * modify it under the terms of version 2 of the GNU General Public + * License as published by the Free Software Foundation. + * + * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
