Data-type profiling has the concept of instruction tracking. Example sequence in powerpc: ld r10,264(r3) mr r31,r3 <<after some sequence> ld r9,312(r31) or differently lwz r10,264(r3) add r31, r3, RB lwz r9, 0(r31) If a sample is hit at "lwz r9, 0(r31)", data type of r31 depends on previous instruction sequence here. So to track the previous instructions, patch adds changes to identify some of the arithmetic instructions which are having opcode as 31. Since memory instructions also has cases with opcode 31, use the bits 22:30 to filter the arithmetic instructions here. Also there are instructions with just two operands like "addme", "addze". This patch adds new instructions ops "arithmetic_ops" to handle this Reviewed-by: Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Akanksha J N <akanksha@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Cc: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Segher Boessenkool <segher@kernel.crashing.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240718084358.72242-10-atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
