mainlining shenanigans
4141b6a5e9
When perf record -e SF_CYCLES_BASIC_DIAG runs with very high frequency, the samples arrive faster than the perf process can save them to file. Eventually, for longer running processes, this leads to the siutation where the trace buffers allocated by perf slowly fills up. At one point the auxiliary trace buffer is full and the CPU Measurement sampling facility is turned off. Furthermore a warning is printed to the kernel log buffer: cpum_sf: The AUX buffer with 0 pages for the diagnostic-sampling mode is full The number of allocated pages for the auxiliary trace buffer is shown as zero pages. That is wrong. Fix this by saving the number of allocated pages before entering the work loop in the interrupt handler. When the interrupt handler processes the samples, it may detect the buffer full condition and stop sampling, reducing the buffer size to zero. Print the correct value in the error message: cpum_sf: The AUX buffer with 256 pages for the diagnostic-sampling mode is full Signed-off-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
