* 'tools-release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-idle-2.6:
tools/power turbostat: fit output into 80 columns on snb-ep
tools/power x86_energy_perf_policy: fix print of uninitialized string -
Reduce columns for package number to 1.
If you can afford more than 9 packages,
you can also afford a terminal with more than 80 columns:-)Also shave a column also off the package C-states

IA32-Intel Devel guide Volume 3A - 14.3.2.1
-------------------------------------------
...
Opportunistic processor performance operation can be disabled by setting bit 38 of
IA32_MISC_ENABLES. This mechanism is intended for BIOS only. If
IA32_MISC_ENABLES[38] is set, CPUID.06H:EAX[1] will return 0.Better detect things via cpuid, this cleans up the code a bit
and the MSR parts were not working correctly anyway.Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger

This adds the last piece missing from turbostat (if called with -v).
It shows on Intel machines supporting Turbo Boost how many cores
have to be active/idle to enter which boost mode (frequency).Whether the HW really enters these boost modes can be verified via

CPU power consumption vs performance tuning is no longer
limited to CPU frequency switching anymore: deep sleep states,
traditional dynamic frequency scaling and hidden turbo/boost
frequencies are tied close together and depend on each other.
The first two exist on different architectures like PPC, Itanium and
ARM, the latter (so far) only on X86. On X86 the APU (CPU+GPU) will
only run most efficiently if CPU and GPU has proper power management
in place.Users and Developers want to have *one* tool to get an overview what
their system supports and to monitor and debug CPU power management
in detail. The tool should compile and work on as many architectures
as possible.Once this tool stabilizes a bit, it is intended to replace the
Intel-specific tools in tools/power/x86Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

perf tools, x86: Fix 32-bit compile on 64-bit system

Builds for 32-bit perf binaries on a 64-bit host currently fail
with this error:[...]
bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S: Assembler messages:
bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:29: Error: bad register name `%rdi'
bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:34: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `movs'

bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:61: Error: bad register name `%rdi'
...The problem is the detection of the host arch without considering passed in
flags. This change fixes 32-bit builds via:make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-m32
and 64-bit builds still reference the memcpy_64.S.

The perf_event_attr struct has two __u32's at the top and
they need to be swapped individually.With this change I was able to analyze a perf.data collected in a
32-bit PPC VM on an x86 system. I tested both 32-bit and 64-bit
binaries for the Intel analysis side; both read the PPC perf.data
file correctly.-v2:
- changed the existing perf_event__attr_swap() to swap only elements
of perf_event_attr and exported it for use in swapping the
attributes in the file header
- updated swap_ops used for processing eventsSigned-off-by: David Ahern

Add "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events.
The addition of NODE cache events broke the parse_alias
function, so any mismatched event caused the segfault, like:# ./perf stat -e krava ls
The hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result arrays needs to follow
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_*MAX enums. Adding those MAXs to be size
of those arrays, so possible ommision in future wil not lead to
segfault.Adding read/write/prefetch as allowed operations for node cache

Looks like I was going to stick the brand string

The MIN_CONFIG is a single config that is considered to have all the
configs that are required to boot the box.ADD_CONFIG is a list of configs that we add that may contain configs
known to be broken (set off) or just configs that we want every box to
have and this can include shared configs.If a config has no MIN_CONFIG defined, but has multiple files defined
for the ADD_CONFIG, the test will die, because the MIN_CONFIG will
default to ADD_CONFIG. The problem is the code to open MIN_CONFIG
expects a string of one file, not multiple, and the open will fail.Since the real minconfig that is used is a concatination of MIN_CONFIG
and ADD_CONFIG files, we change the code to open that instead of
whatever MIN_CONFIG defaults to.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
-
The IGNORE_CONFIG file holds the configs that we don't want to change
(with their proper settings). But on start up, the make noconfig is
executed, and the configs that are on are also put into the ignore
config category. But these are configs that were forced on by the
kconfig scripts and not something that we found must be enabled to boot
our machine. By keeping the configs that are forced on by default,
separate from the configs we found that are required to boot the box, we
can get a much more interesting IGNORE_CONFIG. In fact, the
IGNORE_CONFIG can usually end up being the must have configs to boot,
and only have 6 or 7 configs set.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
-
If the defined OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG in the make_min_config test exists,
then give a prompt to ask the user if they want to use that config
instead, as it is very often the case, especially when the test has been
interrupted. The OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is usually the config that one wants
to use to continue the test where they left off.But if START_MIN_CONFIG is defined (thus the MIN_CONFIG is not the
default), then do not prompt, as it will be annoying if the user has
this as one of many tests, and the test pauses waiting for input, while
the user is sleeping.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
-
To save time, the test does not just grab any option and test
it. The Kconfig files are examined to determine the dependencies
of the configs. If a config is chosen that depends on another
config, that config will be checked first. By checking the
parents first, we can eliminate whole groups of configs that
may have been enabled.For example, if a USB device config is chosen and depends on
CONFIG_USB, the CONFIG_USB will be tested before the device.
If CONFIG_USB is found not to be needed, it, as well as all
configs that depend on it, will be disabled and removed from
the current min_config.Note, the code from streamline_config (make localmodconfig)
was copied and used to find the dependencies in the Kconfig file.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

After doing a make localyesconfig, your kernel configuration may
not be the most useful minimum configuration. Having a true minimum
config that you can use against other configs is very useful if
someone else has a config that breaks on your code. By only forcing
those configurations that are truly required to boot your machine
will give you less of a chance that one of your set configurations
will make the bug go away. This will give you a better chance to
be able to reproduce the reported bug matching the broken config.Note, this does take some time, and may require you to run the
test over night, or perhaps over the weekend. But it also allows
you to interrupt it, and gives you the current minimum config
that was found till that time.Note, this test automatically assumes a BUILD_TYPE of oldconfig
and its test type acts like boot.TODO: add a test version that makes the config do more than just
boot, like having network access.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables
perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe.
If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe
expects the module is offline.
This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars.E.g)
# perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \
-a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache"
Add new events:
probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1
