[PATCH 0/3] Sparc64 perf bug fixes and debugging facilities.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I had to track down a few perf bugs on sparc64, and it's impossible
currently to see what's happening when debugging complicated issues
such as seeing perf stop getting events when monitoring using all cpus
in a huge system.

So one patch here is a new 'x' sysrq that dumps the PMU control
registers on every cpu.

Next we have a bug fix inherited from x86, making sure there is a
valid and alive address space before we go trying to probe the user
stack for a backtrace.

Finally, fix PCR control reg setting in sparc_pmu_enable_event(). This
basically broke 'perf top' and similar things.

Pushed out to 'sparc'.
