Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

o Use ':=' for assignmnet so we do not re-evaluate for each use
o Use $(shell echo xxx) to remove ""
o Replaced CFLAGS_KERNEL with KBUILD_CFLAGS
The settings are equally relevant for modules and the linked kernel
o Dropped LDFLAGS_BLOB - it is no longer used
o Refactored assignmnets to libs-y and core-y
o Use MMU for the MMU specific extension. "MMUEXT" was hurting my eyes

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT
This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
(which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)

Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
considerable differences. This led to linker script for each arch
implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
tedious and adding new entries error-prone.
This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro. As ld
uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.
ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.
defconfig compile tested for x86, x86-64, powerpc, powerpc64, ia64,
alpha, sparc, sparc64 and s390. Michal Simek tested microblaze.

Microblaze wants to throw out EXIT_TEXT during runtime too. This
hasn't caused trouble till now because the linker script didn't
discard EXIT_TEXT and it ended up in its default output section. As
discard definition is about to be unified, include EXIT_TEXT into
_stext explicitly and while at it replace explicit exitcall definition
to EXIT_CALL.

When legacy signal handling is disabled, the
arch/microblaze/kernel/signal.c implementation can
be much simpler, as most of it is handled generically
from kernel/signal.c.
This is also a prerequisite for using the generic
asm/unistd.h, which does not provide __NR_sigreturn,
because this macro is referenced by the current signal.c
implementation.

x86 throws away .discard section but no other archs do. Also,
.discard is not thrown away while linking modules. Make every arch
and module linking throw it away. This will be used to define dummy
variables for percpu declarations and definitions.
This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

Problem arise when is incopatibility between kernel/dts/pvr
and kernel tries to announce it. Early printk device
(uartlite in our case) was in TLB 2 and when kernel
extract DTB it necessary to allocate at least one
TLB at the end of memory. First free TLB was number two
where was early printk. But checking mechanism (kernel/dts/pvr)
was after extrahing but TLB 2 was different. This caused
that kernel hung up.
Moving early printk device to TLB 63 solve it and we don't
protect it which means that we can use early_printk messages
only for initial parts of kernel then we rewrite TLB 63.
