[PATCH] powerpc: Instrument Hypervisor Calls

From: Mike Kravetz <hidden>
Date: 2006-08-14 23:21:33

Here is an updated version of the patch to instrument hypervisor
calls.  In this version, all statistic updates are performed in
assembly code.  Statistics are made available via debugfs.
Instrumentation is enabled via a config option and there is zero
cost if not enabled.

Could we keep this more generic and not mention platform specific

Not sure if I follow.  PURR will be used/displayed if available.  Time
based statistics will always be available.

I can change the description to make this clear.  Or, are you asking
that this not be mentioned at all?  Based on previous discussions, I
added the ability to display both wall and cpu time if available.

Thanks,

I want to hook my instrumentation into this config option also, but my
platform dosn't have PURR, so I would like you to remove the mention
of '(based on PURR)' in the description of the option.  This way we
can have a generic 'Hypervisor call instrumentation' option for users,
on whatever platform they are using.

Does it make sense?

Makes sense.  No problem.  I'll include this update in a revised edition

Good catch!

My intention was to detect the presence of PURR in the display (debugfs)
code.  If there is no PURR, then no PURR values are displayed.  My thought
is that it doesn't matter what values are in the field if we don't display
them.  

Unfortunately, I left that bit of code out of the patch.

How does that sound?  Suppose I can also put all the 'calculate PURR delta'
code in the FTR_SECTION to save a few cycles.

That sounds good (as long as you also suppress the display).

Here is an updated version of the patch to instrument hypervisor
calls.  In this version, all statistic updates are performed in
assembly code.  Statistics are made available via debugfs.
Instrumentation is enabled via a config option and there is zero
cost if not enabled.

+#define HCALL_INST_POSTCALL					\

+	mftb	r7;			/* timebase after */	\
if you just add a "mr r8,r7" here you will get consistent
behaviour (either TB and PURR if PURR is supported, or TB
everywhere.)  The processor will pretty much optimize that
away if the FTR section is not no-op-ed.
