- Allow libpmc(3) to support P4/EMT64 PMCs on the amd64 architecture
and AMD K8 PMCs on the i386. [2]
Submitted by: ps [1]
Pointy hat: myself [2]
Approved by: re (scottl)
- pmcstat(8) gprof output mode fixes:
lib/libpmc/pmclog.{c,h}, sys/sys/pmclog.h:
+ Add a 'is_usermode' field to the PMCLOG_PCSAMPLE event
+ Add an 'entryaddr' field to the PMCLOG_PROCEXEC event,
so that pmcstat(8) can determine where the runtime loader
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 is getting loaded.
sys/kern/kern_exec.c:
+ Use a local struct to group the entry address of the image being
exec()'ed and the process credential changed flag to the exec
handling hook inside hwpmc(4).
usr.sbin/pmcstat/*:
+ Support "-k kernelpath", "-D sampledir".
+ Implement the ELF bits of 'gmon.out' profile generation in a new
file "pmcstat_log.c". Move all log related functions to this
file.
+ Move local definitions and prototypes to "pmcstat.h"
- Other bug fixes:
+ lib/libpmc/pmclog.c: correctly handle EOF in pmclog_read().
+ sys/dev/hwpmc_mod.c: unconditionally log a PROCEXIT event to all
attached PMCs when a process exits.
+ sys/sys/pmc.h: correct a function prototype.
+ Improve usage checks in pmcstat(8).

- Implement sampling modes and logging support in hwpmc(4).
- Separate MI and MD parts of hwpmc(4) and allow sharing of
PMC implementations across different architectures.
Add support for P4 (EMT64) style PMCs to the amd64 code.
- New pmcstat(8) options: -E (exit time counts) -W (counts
every context switch), -R (print log file).
- pmc(3) API changes, improve our ability to keep ABI compatibility
in the future. Add more 'alias' names for commonly used events.
- bug fixes & documentation.
Have pmcstat(8) and pmccontrol(8) use these APIs.
Return PMC class-related constants (PMC widths and capabilities)
with the OP GETCPUINFO call leaving OP PMCINFO to return only the
dynamic information associated with a PMC (i.e., whether enabled,
owner pid, reload count etc.).
Allow pmc_read() (i.e., OPS PMCRW) on active self-attached PMCs to
get upto-date values from hardware since we can guarantee that the
hardware is running the correct PMC at the time of the call.
Bug fixes:
- (x86 class processors) Fix a bug that prevented an RDPMC
instruction from being recognized as permitted till after the
attached process had context switched out and back in again after
a pmc_start() call.
Tighten the rules for using RDPMC class instructions: a GETMSR
OP is now allowed only after an OP ATTACH has been done by the
PMC's owner to itself. OP GETMSR is not allowed for PMCs that
track descendants, for PMCs attached to processes other than
their owner processes.
- (P4/HTT processors only) Fix a bug that caused the MI and MD
layers to get out of sync. Add a new MD operation 'get_config()'
as part of this fix.
- Allow multiple system-mode PMCs at the same row-index but on
different CPUs to be allocated.
- Reject allocation of an administratively disabled PMC.
Misc. code cleanups and refactoring. Improve a few comments.
us when <sys/pmc.h> is included.
o Replace "#if __i386__" and "#if __amd64__" with the equivalent of
"#ifdef __i386__" and "#ifdef __amd64__" (resp.) These tokens are
not defined on all platforms.
o Conditionally compile pmc_parse_mask() on i386 and amd64 only. It's
only referenced there. This will change when support for other
platforms is added, of course.
