3 * Simple profiling. Manages a direct-mapped profile hit count buffer,
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 * William Irwin, Oracle, July 2004
12 * Amortized hit count accounting via per-cpu open-addressed hashtables
13 * to resolve timer interrupt livelocks, William Irwin, Oracle, 2004

186 * Each cpu has a pair of open-addressed hashtables for pending
187 * profile hits. read_profile() IPI's all cpus to request them
188 * to flip buffers and flushes their contents to prof_buffer itself.
189 * Flip requests are serialized by the profile_flip_mutex. The sole
190 * use of having a second hashtable is for avoiding cacheline
191 * contention that would otherwise happen during flushes of pending
192 * profile hits required for the accuracy of reported profile hits
193 * and so resurrect the interrupt livelock issue.
195 * The open-addressed hashtables are indexed by profile buffer slot
196 * and hold the number of pending hits to that profile buffer slot on
197 * a cpu in an entry. When the hashtable overflows, all pending hits
198 * are accounted to their corresponding profile buffer slots with
199 * atomic_add() and the hashtable emptied. As numerous pending hits
200 * may be accounted to a profile buffer slot in a hashtable entry,
201 * this amortizes a number of atomic profile buffer increments likely
202 * to be far larger than the number of entries in the hashtable,
203 * particularly given that the number of distinct profile buffer
204 * positions to which hits are accounted during short intervals (e.g.
205 * several seconds) is usually very small. Exclusion from buffer
206 * flipping is provided by interrupt disablement (note that for
207 * SCHED_PROFILING profile_hit() may be called from process context).
208 * The hash function is meant to be lightweight as opposed to strong,
209 * and was vaguely inspired by ppc64 firmware-supported inverted
210 * pagetable hash functions, but uses a full hashtable full of finite
211 * collision chains, not just pairs of them.
