[PATCH 0/4] convert perf to local64_t
These patches introduce local64_t. Since perf_event:count is only modified cross-cpu when child-counters feed back their changes on exit, and we can use a secondary variable for that, we can convert perf to use local64_t instead of atomic64_t and use instructions without buslock semantics. The local64_t implem... 21 May 2010 10:36

[PATCH 2/4] perf: Add perf_event_count()

[PATCH 3/4] perf: Add child_count
Only child counters adding back their values into the parent counter are responsible for cross-cpu updates to event->count. So if we pull that out into a new child_count variable, we get an event->count that is only modified locally.

[PATCH 0/4] perf: Tasks and irq exclusion
Hi, The new task and irq exclusion handling can let you confine tracing and profiling to about everything you want. May be the only class of event I haven't tested yet is the breakpoints and non-tracepoint software events. Otherwise it works fine for hardware and tracepoints. Thanks. (Can be pulled ther... 21 May 2010 10:35

[PATCH 1/4] irq: Support to compute context on top of a given preempt_count offset
This brings the support to compute irq/preempt contexts on top of a a given preempt count offset instead of the current one. This is going to be useful for perf that needs to know the preempt_count() of the context that an event has interrupted.
