4 * with configurable resolution, support for restricting the cpus on
5 * which profiling is done, and switching between cpu time and
6 * schedule() calls via kernel command line parameters passed at boot.
8 * Scheduler profiling support, Arjan van de Ven and Ingo Molnar,
10 * Consolidation of architecture support code for profiling,
11 * Nadia Yvette Chambers, Oracle, July 2004

209 * Each cpu has a pair of open-addressed hashtables for pending
210 * profile hits. read_profile() IPI's all cpus to request them
211 * to flip buffers and flushes their contents to prof_buffer itself.
212 * Flip requests are serialized by the profile_flip_mutex. The sole
213 * use of having a second hashtable is for avoiding cacheline
214 * contention that would otherwise happen during flushes of pending
215 * profile hits required for the accuracy of reported profile hits
216 * and so resurrect the interrupt livelock issue.
218 * The open-addressed hashtables are indexed by profile buffer slot
219 * and hold the number of pending hits to that profile buffer slot on
220 * a cpu in an entry. When the hashtable overflows, all pending hits
221 * are accounted to their corresponding profile buffer slots with
222 * atomic_add() and the hashtable emptied. As numerous pending hits
223 * may be accounted to a profile buffer slot in a hashtable entry,
224 * this amortizes a number of atomic profile buffer increments likely
225 * to be far larger than the number of entries in the hashtable,
226 * particularly given that the number of distinct profile buffer
227 * positions to which hits are accounted during short intervals (e.g.
228 * several seconds) is usually very small. Exclusion from buffer
229 * flipping is provided by interrupt disablement (note that for
230 * SCHED_PROFILING or SLEEP_PROFILING profile_hit() may be called from
232 * The hash function is meant to be lightweight as opposed to strong,
233 * and was vaguely inspired by ppc64 firmware-supported inverted
234 * pagetable hash functions, but uses a full hashtable full of finite
235 * collision chains, not just pairs of them.
