2010-03-10	perf, x86: Don't reset the LBR as frequently	Peter Zijlstra	1	-5/+4
	If we reset the LBR on each first counter, simple counter rotation which first deschedules all counters and then reschedules the new ones will lead to LBR reset, even though we're still in the same task context. Reduce this by not flushing on the first counter but only flushing on different task contexts.

2010-03-10	perf, x86: Fix LBR enable/disable vs cpuc->enabled	Peter Zijlstra	1	-3/+4
	We should never call ->enable with the pmu enabled, and we _can_ have ->disable called with the pmu enabled.

2010-03-10	perf, x86: Clear the LBRs on init	Peter Zijlstra	1	-0/+3
	Some CPUs have errata where the LBR is not cleared on Power-On. So always clear the LBRs before use.

2010-03-10	perf, x86: Clean up IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES usage	Peter Zijlstra	1	-14/+4
	Saner PERF_CAPABILITIES support, which also exposes pebs_trap. Use that latter to make PEBS's use of LBR conditional since a fault-like pebs should already report the correct IP. ( As of this writing there is no known hardware that implements !pebs_trap ) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org> Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: eranian@google.com Cc: robert.richter@amd.com Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com LKML-Reference: <20100304140100.770650663@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2010-03-10	perf, x86: Implement simple LBR support	Peter Zijlstra	1	-0/+228
	Implement simple suport Intel Last-Branch-Record, it supports all hardware that implements FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI, but does not (yet) implement the LBR config register. The Intel LBR is a FIFO of From,To addresses describing the last few branches the hardware took. This patch does not add perf interface to the LBR, but merely provides an interface for internal use.
