Impact: clean up new API
Thorough cleanup of the new perf counters API, we now get clean separation
of the various concepts:
- introduce perf_counter_hw_event to separate out the event source details
- move special type flags into separate attributes: PERF_COUNT_NMI,
PERF_COUNT_RAW
- extend the type to u64 and reserve it fully to the architecture in the
raw type case.
And make use of all these changes in the core and x86 perfcounters code.
Also change the syscall signature to:
asmlinkage int sys_perf_counter_open(
struct perf_counter_hw_event *hw_event_uptr __user,
pid_t pid,
int cpu,
int group_fd);
( Note that group_fd is unused for now - it's reserved for the counter
groups abstraction. )

Impact: make perfcounter NMI and IRQ sequence more robust
Make __smp_perf_counter_interrupt() a bit more conservative: first disable

On a 64 bit kernel if an o32 syscall was made with a syscall number less
than 4000, we would read the function from outside of the bounds of the
syscall table. This led to non-deterministic behavior including system

While we were at it we reworked the 32 bit version as well to use fewer
instructions. Both 32 and 64 bit versions are use the same code now.

This patch fixes some bugs in VIS emulation that cause the GCC test
failure
FAIL: gcc.target/sparc/pdist-3.c execution test
for both 32-bit and 64-bit testing on hardware lacking these
instructions. The emulation code for the pdist instruction uses
RS1(insn) for both source registers rs1 and rs2, which is obviously
wrong and leads to the instruction doing nothing (the observed
problem), and further inspection of the code shows that RS1 uses a
shift of 24 and RD a shift of 25, which clearly cannot both be right;
examining SPARC documentation indicates the correct shift for RS1 is
14.
This patch fixes the bug if single-stepping over the affected
instruction in the debugger, but not if the testcase is run
standalone. For that, Wind River has another patch I hope they will
send as a followup to this patch submission.

Hi Alan,
Looking at the kernel driver code for oprofile it can return the "i386/p6" for
the cpu_type. However, looking at the user-space oprofile code there isn't the
matching entry in libop/op_cpu_type.c or the events/unit_mask files in
events/i386 directory.
The Intel AP-485 says this is a "Intel Pentium M processor model D". Seems like
the oprofile kernel driver should be identifying the processor as "i386/p6_mobile"
The driver identification code doesn't look quite right in nmi_init.c
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git;a=blob;f=arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c;h=022cd41ea9b4106e5884277096e80e9088a7c7a9;hb=HEAD
has:
409 case 10 ... 13:
410 *cpu_type = "i386/p6";
411 break;
Referring to the Intel AP-485:
case 10 and 11 should produce "i386/piii"
case 13 should produce "i386/p6_mobile"
I didn't see anything for case 12.
Something like the attached patch. I don't have a celeron machine to verify that
changes in this area of the kernel fix thing.

Impact: remove stale IOTLB entries
In the non-default nofullflush case the GART is only flushed when
next_bit wraps around. But it can happen that an unmap operation unmaps
memory which is behind the current next_bit location. If these addresses
are reused it may result in stale GART IO/TLB entries. Fix this by
setting the GART next_bit always behind an unmapped location.
