- Add tracker argument to preemptible epochs
- Inline epoch read path in kernel and tied modules
- Change in_epoch to take an epoch as argument
- Simplify tfb_tcp_do_segment to not take a ti_locked argument,
there's no longer any benefit to dropping the pcbinfo lock
and trying to do so just adds an error prone branchfest to
these functions
- Remove cases of same function recursion on the epoch as
recursing is no longer free.
- Remove the the TAILQ_ENTRY and epoch_section from struct
thread as the tracker field is now stack or heap allocated
as appropriate.

pmc_process_interrupt takes 5 arguments when only 3 are needed.
cpu is always available in curcpu and inuserspace can always be
derived from the passed trapframe.
While facially a reasonable cleanup this change was motivated
by the need to workaround a compiler bug.
core2_intr(cpu, tf) ->
pmc_process_interrupt(cpu, ring, pmc, tf, inuserspace) ->
pmc_add_sample(cpu, ring, pm, tf, inuserspace)
In the process of optimizing the tail call the tf pointer was getting
clobbered:
(kgdb) up
at /storage/mmacy/devel/freebsd/sys/dev/hwpmc/hwpmc_mod.c:4709
4709 pmc_save_kernel_callchain(ps->ps_pc,
(kgdb) up
1205 error = pmc_process_interrupt(cpu, PMC_HR, pm, tf,
resulting in a crash in pmc_save_kernel_callchain.
- add '-j' options to filter to enable converting native pmc
log format to json lines format to enable the use of scripts
and external tooling
% pmc filter -j pmc.log pmc.jsonl
- Record the tsc value in sampling interrupts as opposed to
recording nanotime when the sample is copied to a global log
in hardclock - potentially many milliseconds later.
- At initialize record the tsc_freq and the time of day to give
us an offset for translating the tsc values in callchain records
By logging all threads and processes 'pmc filter'
can now filter on process or thread name, relieving
the user of the burden of determining which tid or
pid was which when the sample was taken.
% pmc filter -T if_io_tqg -P nginx pmc.log pmc-iflib.log
% pmc filter -x -T idle pmc.log pmc-noidle.log
- increase pmc cpuid field from 8 to 12 bits
- add cpuid version string to initialize entry in the log
so that filter can identify which counter index an
event name maps to
- GC unused config flags
- make fixed counter assignment more robust as well as the
changes needed to be properly identified for filter
This adds the -U options to pmcstat which will attribute in-kernel samples
back to the user stack that invoked the system call. It is not the default,
because when looking at kernel profiles it is generally more desirable to
merge all instances of a given system call together.
Although heavily revised, this change is directly derived from D7350 by
Jonathan T. Looney.

Intel now provides comprehensive tables for all performance counters
and the various valid configuration permutations as text .json files.
Libpmc has been converted to use these and hwpmc_core has been greatly
simplified by moving to passthrough of the table values.
The one gotcha is that said tables don't support pentium pro and and pentium
IV. There's very few users of hwpmc on _amd64_ kernels on new hardware. It is
unlikely that anyone is doing low level optimization on 15 year old Intel
hardware. Nonetheless, if someone feels strongly enough to populate the
corresponding tables for p4 and ppro I will reinstate the files in to the
build.
Code for the K8 counters and !x86 architectures remains unchanged.
vendor provided pmu-events tables and sundry cleanups.
The vendor pmu-events tables provide counter descriptions, default
sample rates, event, umask, and flag values for all the counter
configuration permutations. Using this gives us:
- much simpler kernel code for the MD component
- helpful long and short event descriptions
- simpler user code
- sample rates that won't overload the system
Update man page with newer sample types and remove unused sample type.

This implements per-thread counters for PMC sampling. The thread
descriptors are stored in a list attached to the process descriptor.
These thread descriptors can store any per-thread information necessary
for current or future features. For the moment, they just store the counters
for sampling.
The thread descriptors are created when the process descriptor is created.
Additionally, thread descriptors are created or freed when threads
are started or stopped. Because the thread exit function is called in a
critical section, we can't directly free the thread descriptors. Hence,
they are freed to a cache, which is also used as a source of allocations
when needed for new threads.

On non-trivial SMP systems the contention on the pmc_owner mutex leads
to a substantial number of samples captured being from the pmc process
itself. This change a) makes buffers larger to avoid contention on the
global list b) makes the working sample buffer per cpu.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Note that PMCLOG_RESERVE_WITH_ERROR() macro contains goto error;
statement and executed after the flag is set.
