+ * perfmon_kapi.c: perfmon2 kernel level interface
+ *
+ * This file implements the perfmon2 interface which
+ * provides access to the hardware performance counters
+ * of the host processor.
+ *
+ * Copyright (c) 2006 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
+ * Contributed by Stephane Eranian <[email protected]>
+ *
+ * More information about perfmon available at:
+ * http://perfmon2.sf.net
+ *
+ * perfmon2 KAPI overview:
+ * The goal is to allow kernel-level code to use the perfmon2
+ * interface for both counting and sampling. It is not possible
+ * to directly use the system calls because they expected parameters
+ * from user level. The kernel-level interface is more restrictive
+ * because of inherent kernel constraints. The limited interface
+ * is comosed by a set of functions implemented in this this. For
+ * ease of use, the mimic the names of the user level interface, e.g.
+ * pfmk_create_context() is the equivalent of pfm_create_context().
+ * The pfmk_ prefix is used on all calls. Those can be called from
+ * kernel modules or core kernel files.
+ *
+ * The kernel-level perfmon api (KAPI) does not use file descriptors
+ * to identify a context. Instead an opaque (void *) descriptor is used.
+ * It is returned by pfmk_create_context() and must be passed to all
+ * subsequence pfmk_*() calls. List of calls is:
+ * pfmk_create_context();
+ * pfmk_write_pmcs();
+ * pfmk_write_pmds();
+ * pfmk_read_pmds();
+ * pfmk_restart();
+ * pfmk_stop();
+ * pfmk_start();
+ * pfmk_load_context();
+ * pfmk_unload_context();
+ * pfmk_delete_evtsets();
+ * pfmk_create_evtsets();
+ * pfmk_getinfo_evtsets();
+ * pfmk_close();
+ * pfmk_read();
+ *
+ * Unlike pfm_create_context(), the KAPI equivalent, pfmk_create_context()
+ * does not trigger the PMU description module to be inserted automatically
+ * (if known). That means that the call may fail if no PMU description module
+ * is inserted in advance. This is a restriction to avoid deadlocks during
+ * insmod.
+ *
+ * When sampling, the kernel level sampling buffer base address is directly
+ * returned by pfmk_create_context(). There is no re-mapping necessary.
+ *
+ * When sampling, the buffer overflow notification can generate a message.
+ * But given that there is no file descriptor, it is not possible to use a
+ * plain read() call. Instead the pfmk_read() function must be invoke. It
+ * returns one message at a time. The pfmk_read() function can be blocking
+ * when there is no message, unless the noblock parameter is set to 1.
+ * Because there is no file descriptor, it would be hard for a kernel thread
+ * to wait on an overflow notification message and something else. It would
+ * be hard to get out, should the thread need to terminate. To avoid this
+ * problem, the pfmk_create_context() requires a completion structure be
+ * passed. It is used during pfmk_read() to wait on an event. But the completion
+ * is visible outside the perfmon context and can be used to signal other events
+ * as well. Upon return from pfmk_read() the caller must check the return value,
+ * if zero no message was extracted and the reason for waking up is outside the
+ * scope of perfmon.
+ *
+ * pefmon2 KAPI known restrictions:
+ * - only system-wide contexts are supported
+ * - with a sampling buffer defined, it is not possible
+ * to call pfmk_close() from an interrupt context
+ * (e.g. from IPI handler)
