Improve the example code to be at least useable, as in not causing
harm (as shown below). Code can still be improved further, but this
adds some basic safeguards.
1. hpfall *MUST* mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE); itself!
Since the Program sits and waits most of the time it becomes very likely
swapped out. If it gets woken up when the laptop drops from the table
while it is swapped out it actually triggers harddrive activity!
2. Daemonize hpfall using 'daemon(0,0)' (quick and dirty).
3. Give hpfall realtime priority.
Should give a chance that it has less latency when woken up.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

This is in preparation of the big rename, but also makes sense
in a standalone way: 'list_entry' is a bad name as we already
have a list_entry() in list.h.
Also, the 'counter list' is too vague, it doesnt tell us the
purpose of that list.
Clarify these names to show that it's all about the group
hiearchy.

Commit 5622f295 ("x86, perf_counter, bts: Optimize BTS overflow

added a regs parameter to perf_counter_overflow(). This breaks the

arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c: In function 'record_and_restart':
arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c:1165: error: unknown field 'regs' specified in initializer
This adjusts arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c to correspond with the
new struct perf_sample_data and perf_counter_overflow().

Adding a reference to <linux/linkage.h> to x86's <asm/cache.h> causes
the x86 linker script to have syntax errors, because the ALIGN and
ENTRY keywords get redefined to the assembly implementations of those.
One could fix this by adjusting the include structure, but I think any
solution based on that approach would be fragile.
Currently, it is impossible when writing a header to do something
different for assembly files and linker scripts, even though there are
clearly cases where one wants them to define macros differently for
the two (ENTRY being an excellent example).
So I think the right solution here is to introduce a new preprocessor
definition, called LINKER_SCRIPT that is set along with __ASSEMBLY__
for linker scripts, and to use that to not define ALIGN and ENTRY in
linker scripts.
I suspect we'll find other uses for this mechanism in
the future.
