Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/5] alpha/perf: pass PERFMON_CMD_LOGGING_ALL to the logging options call
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 04:07:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-190284@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261030-alpha-profileme-v2-1-c702f1c65272@gmail.com>
> alpha_pmu_enable() passes EV67_PCTR_MODE_AGGREGATE to
> PERFMON_CMD_LOGGING_OPTIONS. That constant is the counting mode bit for
> PCTR_CTL, which belongs in the PERFMON_CMD_DESIRED_EVENTS argument. The
> logging options call takes a flag in bit 0 where 0 means "count all
> processes". It works only because EV67_PCTR_MODE_AGGREGATE happens to be
> 0.
>
> Table E-18 of the Alpha Architecture Reference Manual gives bit 0 the
> opposite sense, but the PALcode in the ES40 and ES47 firmware agrees
> with the above: it sets I_CTL[SPCE], which enables counting for all
> processes, unless bit 0 is set. Linux never sets the PME bit in the
> PCB, so if 0 meant "selected processes only", nothing would be counted.
>
> Add a name for that argument and pass it instead. No functional change.
