Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Re-enable IMC trace-mode
Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2020 15:47:23 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200121101728.14858-1-anju@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
commit <249fad734a25> ""powerpc/perf: Disable trace_imc pmu"
disables IMC(In-Memory Collection) trace-mode in kernel, since frequent
mode switching between accumulation mode and trace mode via the spr LDBAR
in the hardware can trigger a checkstop(system crash).
This patch series re-enables IMC trace mode and fixes the mode switching
issue by global lock mechanism.
Patch 3/5,4/5 and 5/5 provides a selftest to verify the global-lock
mechanism.
Changes from v1 -> v2:
-------------------------
- Added self test patches to the series.
Anju T Sudhakar (2):
powerpc/powernv: Re-enable imc trace-mode in kernel
powerpc/perf: Implement a global lock to avoid races between trace,
core and thread imc events.
Madhavan Srinivasan (3):
powerpc/perf: Add an interface sub-folder to imc pmu
selftest/powerpc/pmc: Support to include interface test for Memory
Counter PMUs
selftest/powerpc/pmu: Testcase for imc global lock mechanism
