This patch introduces op_x86_get_ctrl() to calculate the value of the
performance control register. This is generic code usable for all
models. The event and reserved masks are model specific and stored in
struct op_x86_model_spec. 64 bit MSR functions are used now. The patch
removes many hard to read macros used for ctrl calculation.
The function op_x86_get_ctrl() is common code and the first step to
further merge performance counter implementations for x86 models.

In follow-on patches the setup_ctrs() functions will need data that
describes the model. This patch extends the function argument list to
pass a pointer of the model to these function.

The macros CTRL_READ() and CTRL_WRITE() make the code hard to read and
maintain. This patch replaces them by rdmsr()/wrmsr() functions and

There are duplicate macro implementations in model specific code. This

The function arch_perfmon_init() in nmi_int.c is model specific. This
patch moves it to op_model_ppro.c by using the init function pointer
in struct op_x86_model_spec.

This reverts commit 59512900ba.
arch_perfmon_setup_counters() is actually never called for ppro, so
there is no code that changes the numbers in op_ppro_spec. The patch
as it is has no effect.

Impact: fix stuck NMIs and non-working oprofile on certain CPUs
Resetting the counter width of the performance counters on Intel's
Core2 CPUs, breaks the delivery of NMIs, when running in x86_64 mode.
This should fix bug #12395:

If oprofile statically compiled in kernel, a cpu unplug triggers
a panic in ppro_stop(), because a NULL pointer is dereferenced.

Fix the counter overflow check for CPUs with counter width > 32

Newer Intel CPUs (Core1+) have support for architectural
events described in CPUID 0xA. See the IA32 SDM Vol3b.18 for details.
The advantage of this is that it can be done without knowing about
the specific CPU, because the CPU describes by itself what
performance events are supported. This is only a fallback
because only a limited set of 6 events are supported.
This allows to do profiling on Nehalem and on Atom systems
(later not tested)
This patch implements support for that in oprofile's Intel
Family 6 profiling module. It also has the advantage of supporting
an arbitary number of events now as reported by the CPU.
Also allow arbitary counter widths >32bit while we're at it.
Requires a patched oprofile userland to support the new
architecture.

This patch introduces multiplexing support for the Oprofile kernel
module. It basically adds a new function pointer in oprofile_operator
allowing each architecture to supply its callback to switch between
different sets of event when the timer expires. Userspace tools can
modify the time slice through /dev/oprofile/time_slice.
It also modifies the number of counters exposed to the userspace through
/dev/oprofile. For example, the number of counters for AMD CPUs are
changed to 32 and multiplexed in the sets of 4.

Need to enable/disable all the counters instead of just counter 0.
This affects all cpus with family=6, including i386/core. Usual symptom:
only counter 0 provides samples. Other counters don't produce samples.

Incorporates the new performance counter reservation system in oprofile.
Also cleans up a lot of the initialization code. The code original zero'd
out every register associated with performance counters regardless if those
registers were used or not. This causes issues with the nmi watchdog.
Now oprofile tries to reserve registers and gives up if it can't get them.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
