Patchset fixes the inconsistent results we are getting when
we run multiple 24x7 events.
"hv_24x7" pmu interface events needs system dependent parameter
like socket/chip/core. For example, hv_24x7 chip level events needs
specific chip-id to which the data is requested should be added as part
of pmu events.
So to enable JSON file support to "hv_24x7" interface, patchset expose
total number of sockets and chips per-socket details in sysfs
files (sockets, chips) under "/sys/devices/hv_24x7/interface/".
To get number of sockets, chips per sockets and cores per chip patchset adds a
rtas call with token "PROCESSOR_MODULE_INFO" to get these details. Patchset
also handles partition migration case to re-init these system depended
parameters by adding proper calls in post_mobility_fixup() (mobility.c).
Changelog:
v8 -> v9
- As we not need 8k data buffer we also not require new lock and
buffer size. So, removed that part.
- Made more changes as suggested by Nathan Lynch.
v7 -> v8
- Add support for exposing cores per details as well.
Suggested by: Madhavan Srinivasan.
- Remove config check for 'CONFIG_PPC_RTAS' in previous
implementation and address other comments by Michael Ellerman.
v6 -> v7
- Split patchset into two patch series, one with kernel changes
and another with perf tool side changes. This pachset contain
all kernel side changes.
