"The whole series has been sitting in -next for quite a while with no
complaints. The last change to the series was before the weekend the
removal of an SPI patch which Grant - even though previously acked by
himself - appeared to raise objections. So I removed it until the
situation is clarified. Other than that all the patches have the acks
from their respective maintainers, all MIPS and x86 defconfigs are
building fine and I'm not aware of any problems introduced by this
series.
Among the key features for this patch series is a sizable patchset for
Lantiq which among other things introduces support for Lantiq's
flagship product, the FALCON SOC. It also means that the opensource
developers behind this patchset have overtaken Lantiq's competing
inhouse development team that was working behind closed doors.
Less noteworthy the ath79 patchset which adds support for a few more
chip variants, cleanups and fixes. Finally the usual dose of tweaking
of generic code."

We always need to pass the last sample period to
perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be
wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period
as argument. So basically a pattern like this:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL);
data.period = event->hw.last_period;
will now be like that:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period);
Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

Why removing pmu checking:
Since 3.2-rc1, when arch level event init is called, the event is already
connected to its PMU. Also, validate_event() is _only_ called by
validate_group() in event init, so there is no need of checking or
temporarily assigning event pmu during validate_group().
Why removing event state checking:
Events could be created in PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF (attr->disabled == 1), when
these events go through this checking, validate_group() does dummy work.
But we do need to do group scheduling emulation for them in event init.
Again, validate_event() is _only_ called by validate_group().

Port the following patch for ARM by Mark Rutland:
- 57ce9bb39b
ARM: 6902/1: perf: Remove erroneous check on active_events
When initialising a PMU, there is a check to protect against races with
other CPUs filling all of the available event slots. Since armpmu_add
checks that an event can be scheduled, we do not need to do this at
initialisation time. Furthermore the current code is broken because it
assumes that atomic_inc_not_zero will unconditionally increment
active_counts and then tries to decrement it again on failure.
This patch removes the broken, redundant code.

Add a NODE level to the generic cache events which is used to measure
local vs remote memory accesses. Like all other cache events, an
ACCESS is HIT+MISS, if there is no way to distinguish between reads
and writes do reads only etc..
The below needs filling out for !x86 (which I filled out with
unsupported events).
I'm fairly sure ARM can leave it like that since it doesn't strike me as
an architecture that even has NUMA support. SH might have something since
it does appear to have some NUMA bits.
Sparc64, PowerPC and MIPS certainly want a good look there since they

- a4eaf7f146
perf: Rework the PMU methods
Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.
The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.
This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).
It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).
The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:
1) We disable the counter:
a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state
2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events
For MIPSXX, the stopped state is implemented in the way of 1.b as above.

This is the MIPS part of the following commit by Peter Zijlstra:
- e360adbe29
irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks
Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.
For MIPSXX, we need to call irq_work_run() at the tail of the perf IRQ
handler as described above.

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

This patch adds the mipsxx Perf-events support based on the skeleton.
Generic hardware events and cache events are now fully implemented for
the 24K/34K/74K/1004K cores. To support other cores in mipsxx (such as
R10000/SB1), the generic hardware event tables and cache event tables
need to be filled out. To support other CPUs which have different PMU
than mipsxx, such as RM9000 and LOONGSON2, the additional files
perf_event_$cpu.c need to be created.
Raw event is an important part of Perf-events. It helps the user collect
performance data for events that are not listed as the generic hardware
events and cache events but ARE supported by the CPU's PMU.
This patch also adds this feature for mipsxx 24K/34K/74K/1004K. For how to
use it, please refer to processor core software user's manual and the
comments for mipsxx_pmu_map_raw_event() for more details.
Please note that this is a "precise" implementation, which means the
kernel will check whether the requested raw events are supported by this
CPU and which hardware counters can be assigned for them.
To test the functionality of Perf-event, you may want to compile the tool
"perf" for your MIPS platform. You can refer to the following URL:
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2010-10/msg00126.html
You also need to customize the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in tools/perf/Makefile
for your libs, includes, etc.
In case you encounter the boot failure in SMVP kernel on multi-threading
CPUs, you may take a look at:
