MIPS, Perf-events: Work with the new PMU interface
This is the MIPS part of the following commits by Peter Zijlstra: - a4eaf7f14675cb512d69f0c928055e73d0c6d252 perf: Rework the PMU methods Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument. The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with the generic stopped state. This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain code paths (like IRQ handlers). It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters). The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on how the architecture implemented the throttled state: 1) We disable the counter: a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events For MIPSXX, the stopped state is implemented in the way of 1.b as above. - 33696fc0d141bbbcb12f75b69608ea83282e3117 perf: Per PMU disable Changes perf_disable() into perf_pmu_disable(). - 24cd7f54a0d47e1d5b3de29e2456bfbd2d8447b7 perf: Reduce perf_disable() usage Since the current perf_disable() usage is only an optimization, remove it for now. This eases the removal of the __weak hw_perf_enable() interface. - b0a873ebbf87bf38bf70b5e39a7cadc96099fa13 perf: Register PMU implementations Simple registration interface for struct pmu, this provides the infrastructure for removing all the weak functions. - 51b0fe39549a04858001922919ab355dee9bdfcf perf: Deconstify struct pmu sed -ie 's/const struct pmu\>/struct pmu/g' `git grep -l "const struct pmu\>"` Reported-by: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> Acked-by: David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Deng-Cheng Zhu <dengcheng.zhu@gmail.com> To: a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl To: fweisbec@gmail.com To: will.deacon@arm.com Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: wuzhangjin@gmail.com Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: mingo@elte.hu Cc: acme@redhat.com Cc: dengcheng.zhu@gmail.com Cc: matt@console-pimps.org Cc: sshtylyov@mvista.com Cc: ddaney@caviumnetworks.com Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/2012/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
