9dd499889b perf_counter tools: kerneltop: add real-time data acquisition thread
Decouple kerneltop display from event acquisition by introducing
a separate data acquisition thread. This fixes annnoying kerneltop
display refresh jitter and missed events.

Also add a -r <prio> option, to switch the data acquisition thread
to real-time priority.

31f004df8d perf_counter tools: optionally scale counter values in perfstat mode
Impact: new functionality

This adds add an option to the perfstat mode of kerneltop to scale the
reported counter values according to the fraction of time that each
counter gets to count.  This is invoked with the -l option (I used 'l'
because s, c, a and e were all taken already.)  This uses the new
PERF_RECORD_TOTAL_TIME_{ENABLED,RUNNING} read format options.

With this, we get output like this:

$ ./perfstat -l -e 0:0,0:1,0:2,0:3,0:4,0:5 ./spin

 Performance counter stats for './spin':

     4016072055  CPU cycles           (events)  (scaled from 66.53%)
     2005887318  instructions         (events)  (scaled from 66.53%)
        1762849  cache references     (events)  (scaled from 66.69%)
         165229  cache misses         (events)  (scaled from 66.85%)
     1001298009  branches             (events)  (scaled from 66.78%)
          41566  branch misses        (events)  (scaled from 66.61%)

 Wall-clock time elapsed:  2438.227446 msecs

This also lets us detect when a counter is zero because the counter
never got to go on the CPU at all.  In that case we print <not counted>
rather than 0.

00f0ad73ac perf_counter: kerneltop: output event support
Teach kerneltop about the new output ABI.

XXX: anybody fancy integrating the PID/TID data into the output?

Bump the mmap_data pages a little because we bloated the output and
have to be more careful about overruns with structured data.

This should fix the most obvious poll fubar.. not enough to fix the
full problem though..

cbe46555dc perf_counter tools: remove glib dependency and fix bugs in kerneltop.c
The glib dependency in kerneltop.c is only for a little bit of list
manipulation, and I find it inconvenient.  This adds a 'next' field to
struct source_line, which lets us link them together into a list.  The
code to do the linking ourselves turns out to be no longer or more
difficult than using glib.

This also fixes a few other problems:

- We need to #include <limits.h> to get PATH_MAX on powerpc.

- We need to #include <linux/types.h> rather than have our own
  definitions of __u64 and __s64; on powerpc the installed headers
  define them to be unsigned long and long respectively, and if we
  have our own, different definition here that causes a compile error.

- This takes out the x86 setting of errno from -ret in
  sys_perf_counter_open.  My experiments on x86 indicate that the
  glibc syscall() does this for us already.

- We had two CPU migration counters in the default set, which seems
  unnecessary; I changed one of them to a context switch counter.

- In perfstat mode we were printing CPU cycles and instructions as
  milliseconds, and the cpu clock and task clock counters as events.
  This fixes that.

- In perfstat mode we were still printing a blank line after the first
  counter, which was a holdover from when a task clock counter was
  automatically included as the first counter.  This removes the blank
  line.

- On a test machine here, parse_symbols() and parse_vmlinux() were
  taking long enough (almost 0.5 seconds) for the mmap buffer to
  overflow before we got to the first mmap_read() call, so this moves
  them before we open all the counters.

- The error message if sys_perf_counter_open fails needs to use errno,
  not -fd[i][counter].

81cdbe0509 perf_counter tools: increase cpu-cycles again
Commit b7368fdd7d decreased the CPU cycles interval 100-fold, but
this is causig kerneltop failures on my Nehalem box:

 aldebaran:/home/mingo/linux/linux/Documentation/perf_counter>
 ./kerneltop
 KernelTop refresh period: 2 seconds
 ERROR: failed to keep up with mmap data

10,000 cycles is way too short.

What we should do instead on mostly-idle systems is some sort of
read/poll timeout, so that we display something every 2 seconds
for sure.

0e501834f8 thinkpad-acpi: rework brightness support
Refactor and redesign the brightness control backend...

In order to fix bugzilla #11750...

Add a new brightness control mode: support direct NVRAM checkpointing
of the backlight level (i.e. store directly to NVRAM without the need
for UCMS calls), and use that together with the EC-based control.
Disallow UCMS+EC, thus avoiding races with the SMM firmware.

Switch the models that define HBRV (EC Brightness Value) in the DSDT
to the new mode.  These are: T40-T43, R50-R52, R50e, R51e, X31-X41.

Change the default for all other IBM ThinkPads to UCMS-only.  The
Lenovo models already default to UCMS-only.

bee4cd9b9e thinkpad-acpi: enhanced debugging messages for rfkill subdrivers
Enhance debugging messages for all rfkill subdrivers in thinkpad-acpi.

Also, log a warning if the deprecated sysfs attributes are in use.
These attributes are going to be removed sometime in 2010.

There is an user-visible side-effect: we now coalesce attempts to
enable/disable bluetooth or WWAN in the procfs interface, instead of
hammering the firmware with multiple requests.

a4d5effcc7 thinkpad-acpi: restrict access to some firmware LEDs
Some of the ThinkPad LEDs indicate critical conditions that can cause
data loss or cause hardware damage when ignored (e.g. force-ejecting
a powered up bay; ignoring a failing battery, or empty battery; force-
undocking with the dock buses still active, etc).

On almost all ThinkPads, LED access is write-only, and the firmware
usually does fire-and-forget signaling on them, so you effectively
lose whatever message the firmware was trying to convey to the user
when you override the LED state, without any chance to restore it.

Restrict access to all LEDs that can convey important alarms, or that
could mislead the user into incorrectly operating the hardware.  This
will make the Lenovo engineers less unhappy about the whole issue.

Allow users that really want it to still control all LEDs, it is the
unaware user that we have to worry about.

2586d5663d thinkpad-acpi: remove HKEY disable functionality
The HKEY disable functionality basically cripples the entire event
model of the ThinkPad firmware and of the thinkpad-acpi driver.
Remove this functionality from the driver.  HKEY must be enabled at
all times while thinkpad-acpi is loaded, and disabled otherwise.

For sysfs, according to the sysfs ABI and the thinkpad-acpi sysfs
rules of engagement, we will just remove the attributes.  This will be
done in two stages: disable their function now, after two kernel
releases, remove the attributes.

For procfs, we call WARN().  If nothing triggers it, I will simply
remove the enable/disable commands entirely in the future along with
the sysfs attributes.

I don't expect much, if any fallout from this.  There really isn't any
reason to mess with hotkey_enable or with the enable/disable commands
to /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey, and this has been true for years...

73a94d86a8 thinkpad-acpi: add new debug helpers and warn of deprecated atts
Add a debug helper that discloses the TGID of the userspace task
attempting to access the driver.  This is highly useful when dealing
with bug reports, since often the user has no idea that some userspace
application is accessing thinkpad-acpi...

Also add a helper to log warnings about sysfs attributes that are
deprecated.

Use the new helpers to issue deprecation warnings for bluetooth_enable
and wwan_enabled, that have been deprecated for a while, now.
