This patch adds the mipsxx Perf-events support based on the skeleton. Generic hardware events and cache events are now fully implemented for the 24K/34K/74K/1004K cores. To support other cores in mipsxx (such as R10000/SB1), the generic hardware event tables and cache event tables need to be filled out. To support other CPUs which have different PMU than mipsxx, such as RM9000 and LOONGSON2, the additional files perf_event_$cpu.c need to be created. Raw event is an important part of Perf-events. It helps the user collect performance data for events that are not listed as the generic hardware events and cache events but ARE supported by the CPU's PMU. This patch also adds this feature for mipsxx 24K/34K/74K/1004K. For how to use it, please refer to processor core software user's manual and the comments for mipsxx_pmu_map_raw_event() for more details. Please note that this is a "precise" implementation, which means the kernel will check whether the requested raw events are supported by this CPU and which hardware counters can be assigned for them. To test the functionality of Perf-event, you may want to compile the tool "perf" for your MIPS platform. You can refer to the following URL: http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2010-10/msg00126.html You also need to customize the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in tools/perf/Makefile for your libs, includes, etc. In case you encounter the boot failure in SMVP kernel on multi-threading CPUs, you may take a look at: http://www.linux-mips.org/git?p=linux-mti.git;a=commitdiff;h=5460815027d802697b879644c74f0e8365254020 Signed-off-by: Deng-Cheng Zhu <dengcheng.zhu@gmail.com> To: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: mingo@elte.hu Cc: acme@redhat.com Cc: jamie.iles@picochip.com Cc: ddaney@caviumnetworks.com Cc: matt@console-pimps.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1689/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> create mode 100644 arch/mips/kernel/perf_event_mipsxx.c |
