perf tools: Sync addition of PERF_MEM_SNOOPX_PEER

2022-08-11T22:11:36+00:00

Add a flag to the 'perf mem' data struct to signal that a request caused
a cache-to-cache transfer of a line from a peer of the requestor and
wasn't sourced from a lower cache level.

The line being moved from one peer cache to another has latency and
performance implications.

On Arm64 Neoverse systems the data source can indicate a cache-to-cache
transfer but not if the line is dirty or clean, so instead of
overloading HITM define a new flag that indicates this type of transfer.

Committer notes:

This really is not syncing with the kernel since the patch to the kernel
wasn't merged.

But we're going ahead of this as it seems trivial and is just a matter
of the perf kernel maintainers to give their ack or for us to find
another way of expressing this in the perf records synthesized in
userspace from the ARM64 hardware traces.

treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members

2022-06-28T19:26:05+00:00

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].

This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch)

@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@

struct S {
  ...
  T1 member;
  T2 array[
- 0
  ];
};

-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes
to prevent issues like these in the short future:

../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0,
but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source]
		strcpy(de3->name, ".");
		^

Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If
this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.

perf: Add irq and exception return branch types

2022-03-01T15:19:01+00:00

This expands generic branch type classification by adding two more entries
there in i.e irq and exception return. Also updates the x86 implementation
to process X86_BR_IRET and X86_BR_IRQ records as appropriate. This changes
branch types reported to user space on x86 platform but it should not be a
problem. The possible scenarios and impacts are enumerated here.

tools headers UAPI: Add new macros for mem_hops field to perf_event.h

2021-12-22T12:34:43+00:00

Add new macros for mem_hops field which can be used to represent
remote-node, socket and board level details.

Currently the code had macro for HOPS_0 which, corresponds to data
coming from another core but same node.  Add new macros for HOPS_1 to
HOPS_3 to represent remote-node, socket and board level data.

Also add corresponding strings in the mem_hops array to represent
mem_hop field data in perf_mem__lvl_scnprintf function

Incase mem_hops field is used, PERF_MEM_LVLNUM field also need to be set
inorder to represent the data source. Hence printing data source via
PERF_MEM_LVL field can be skip in that scenario.

For ex: Encodings for mem_hops fields with L2 cache:

  L2                      - local L2
  L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_0    - remote core, same node L2
  L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_1    - remote node, same socket L2
  L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_2    - remote socket, same board L2
  L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_3    - remote board L2

The PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID event provides a way to match AUX output
data like Intel PT PEBS-via-PT back to the event that it came from, by
providing a hardware ID that is present in the AUX output.
