[PATCH v4] powerpc: Keep track of emulated instructions

Geert Uytterhoeven Geert.Uytterhoeven at sonycom.com
Mon May 18 22:10:05 EST 2009


If CONFIG_PPC_EMULATED_STATS is enabled, make available counters for the
various classes of emulated instructions under
/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/ (assumed debugfs is mounted on
/sys/kernel/debug).  Optionally (controlled by
/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/do_warn), rate-limited warnings
can be printed to the console when instructions are emulated.

Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <Geert.Uytterhoeven at sonycom.com>
---
Tested on ppc64 (ps3) and ppc32 (sequoia) using mfpvr.

v4:
  - Introduce CONFIG_PPC_EMULATED_STATS

v3:
  - Add generic unaligned
  - Switch from sysfs + sysctl to debugfs. All virtual files now show up under
    /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions (assumed debugfs mounted on
    /sys/kernel/debug)
  - Enable the printing of rate-limited warnings by writing a non-zero value to
    /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/do_warn
  - Switch from per-CPU to system-wide counters
  - Always use 32-bit counters (was 64-bit on ppc64)
  - Counters are writable, i.e. can be reset (by root)

v2:
  - arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c is now compiled on ppc32, so we can provide
    counters in sysfs on ppc32, too,
  - WARN_EMULATED() is a no-op if CONFIG_SYSCTL is disabled,
  - Add warnings for altivec,
  - Add warnings for recently introduced emulation of vsx and isel
    instructions.
