Ok, here's the first try. The performance counter reservation system has
been moved into its own file and separated from the nmi watchdog. Also,
the probing rules were relaxed a bit, as they were more restrictive in
the watchdog code than in the oprofile code.

The new code never allows to reserve a performance counter or event
selection register when the probing failed, instead of allowing one
random register to be reserved.

While moving the code around, I noticed that the PerfMon nmi watchdog
actually reserved the wrong MSRs, as the generic reservation function
always took the base register. As the respective attributes are no
longer used as base regs, we can now store the correct value there and
keep using the generic function.

Being unfamiliar with the kernel init process, I simply put the probing
call right before the nmi watchdog initialization, but that's probably
wrong (and dependent on local APIC on i386), so I'd be glad if someone
could point out a better location.

Thanks,
Björn


From: Björn Steinbrink <[email protected]>

Separate the performance counter reservation system from the nmi
watchdog to allow usage of all performance counters even if the nmi
watchdog is not used.

Fixed the reservation of the wrong performance counter for the PerfMon
based nmi watchdog along the way.
