From 9aaa131a279834dff75c290c91f0058f62d72d46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2009 15:31:47 +1100 Subject: perf_counter: fix type/event_id layout on big-endian systems Impact: build fix for powerpc Commit db3a944aca35ae61 ("perf_counter: revamp syscall input ABI") expanded the hw_event.type field into a union of structs containing bitfields. In particular it introduced a type field and a raw_type field, with the intention that the 1-bit raw_type field should overlay the most-significant bit of the 8-bit type field, and in fact perf_counter_alloc() now assumes that (or at least, assumes that raw_type doesn't overlay any of the bits that are 1 in the values of PERF_TYPE_{HARDWARE,SOFTWARE,TRACEPOINT}). Unfortunately this is not true on big-endian systems such as PowerPC, where bitfields are laid out from left to right, i.e. from most significant bit to least significant. This means that setting hw_event.type = PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE will set hw_event.raw_type to 1. This fixes it by making the layout depend on whether or not __BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD is defined. It's a bit ugly, but that's what we get for using bitfields in a user/kernel ABI. Also, that commit didn't fix up some places in arch/powerpc/kernel/ perf_counter.c where hw_event.raw and hw_event.event_id were used. This fixes them too.
