Since it reduces to single cpu context (and single task context) at all times,
ideally, it would probably be coded as simple as this:
perf_rotate_context()
{
cpu = this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_context)
for_every_pmu(pmu, cpu)
for_every_event_ctx(event_ctx, pmu)
rotate(event_ctx, pmu)
}
so rotate(event_ctx, pmu) would operate on common events objects semantics
and memory layout, and PMU specific code handle SW/HW programming differences.
Implementing that implies this data relations:
cpu (struct perf_cpu_context)
|
v
cpu_context ---> cpu_0->cpu_1->cpu_2->cpu_3
| | | |
v v v v
pmu0 (struct pmu) pmu00 pmu01 pmu02 pmu03
| | | |
v v v v
pmu1 pmu10 pmu11 pmu12 pmu13
| | | |
v v v v
pmu2 pmu20 pmu21 *pmu22* pmu23 <- pmu (struct perf_cpu_pmu_context)
event_ctx
|
v
*pmu22* (struct perf_cpu_pmu_context) -> ctx22_0 -> ctx22_1
| |
v v
event00 event01
| |
v v
*event10* event11 <- event
| |
v v
event20 event21
In new schema that would result in one more link on the right:
cpu_context[NR_CPUS]
|
v
task_struct::perf_event_ctxp -> perf_event_context <- perf_cpu_context -----,
^ | ^ ^ |
`---------------------------------' | | |
| `--> perf_event_pmu_context | <- link
| ^ ^ |
| | | |
| ,-----' v |
| | perf_cpu_pmu_context <-'
| | ^
| | |
v v v
perf_event ---> pmu[,cpu_pmu_ctx[NR_CPUS],]
Thanks,
Alexey
