perf iostat: Fix Segmentation fault from NULL 'struct perf_counts_values *'

2021-10-07T05:53:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4da8b121884d84476f3d50d46a471471af1aa9df ]

If the 'perf iostat' user specifies two or more iio_root_ports and also
specifies the cpu(s) by -C which is not *connected to all* the above iio
ports, the iostat_print_metric() will run into trouble:

For example:

  $ perf iostat list
  S0-uncore_iio_0<0000:16>
  S1-uncore_iio_0<0000:97> # <--- CPU 1 is located in the socket S0

  $ perf iostat 0000:16,0000:97 -C 1 -- ls
  port 	Inbound Read(MB)	Inbound Write(MB)	Outbound Read(MB)	Outbound
  Write(MB) ../perf-iostat: line 12: 104418 Segmentation fault
  (core dumped) perf stat --iostat$DELIMITER$*

The core-dump stack says, in the above corner case, the returned
(struct perf_counts_values *) count will be NULL, and the caller
iostat_print_metric() apparently doesn't not handle this case.

  433	struct perf_counts_values *count = perf_counts(evsel->counts, die, 0);
  434
  435	if (count->run && count->ena) {
  (gdb) p count
  $1 = (struct perf_counts_values *) 0x0

The deeper reason is that there are actually no statistics from the user
specified pair "iostat 0000:X, -C (disconnected) Y ", but let's fix it with
minimum cost by adding a NULL check in the user space.

tools headers UAPI: Sync files changed by the memfd_secret new syscall

2021-07-14T13:05:35+00:00

To pick the changes in this cset:

  7bb7f2ac24a028b2 ("arch, mm: wire up memfd_secret system call where relevant")

That silences these perf build warnings and add support for those new
syscalls in tools such as 'perf trace'.

For instance, this is now possible:

  # perf trace -v -e memfd_secret
  event qualifier tracepoint filter: (common_pid != 13375 && common_pid != 3713) && (id == 447)
  ^C#

That is the filter expression attached to the raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}
tracepoints.

  $ grep memfd_secret tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
  447    common  memfd_secret            sys_memfd_secret

perf stat: Add Topdown metrics L2 events as default events

2021-07-09T17:04:32+00:00

The Topdown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured
analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in
out-of-order processors.

The Topdown metrics L1 event was added as default in 42641d6f4d15e6db
("perf stat: Add Topdown metrics events as default events")

From the Sapphire Rapids server and later platforms, the same dedicated
"metrics" register is extended to support both L1 and L2 events.

Add both L1 and L2 Topdown metrics events as default to enrich the
default measuring information if the new measurement register is
available.

On legacy systems there is no change to avoid extra multiplexing.

The topdown_level indicates the max metrics level for the top-down
statistics. Set it to 2 to display all L1 and L2 Topdown metrics events.

With the patch:

  $ perf stat sleep 1

libperf: Move 'idx' from tools/perf to perf_evsel::idx

2021-07-09T17:04:28+00:00

Move evsel::idx to perf_evsel::idx, so we can move the group interface
to libperf.

Committer notes:

Fixup evsel->idx usage in tools/perf/util/bpf_counter_cgroup.c, that
appeared in my tree in my local tree.

Also fixed up these:

$ find tools/perf/ -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep 'evsel->idx'
tools/perf/ui/gtk/annotate.c:                      evsel->idx + i);
tools/perf/ui/gtk/annotate.c:                   evsel->idx);
$

That running 'make -C tools/perf build-test' caught.

perf cs-etm: Remove callback cs_etm_find_snapshot()

2021-07-01T19:14:36+00:00

The callback cs_etm_find_snapshot() is invoked for snapshot mode, its
main purpose is to find the correct AUX trace data and returns "head"
and "old" (we can call "old" as "old head") to the caller, the caller
__auxtrace_mmap__read() uses these two pointers to decide the AUX trace
data size.

This patch removes cs_etm_find_snapshot() with below reasons:

- The first thing in cs_etm_find_snapshot() is to check if the head has
  wrapped around, if it is not, directly bails out.  The checking is
  pointless, this is because the "head" and "old" pointers both are
  monotonical increasing so they never wrap around.

- cs_etm_find_snapshot() adjusts the "head" and "old" pointers and
  assumes the AUX ring buffer is fully filled with the hardware trace
  data, so it always subtracts the difference "mm->len" from "head" to
  get "old".  Let's imagine the snapshot is taken in very short
  interval, the tracers only fill a small chunk of the trace data into
  the AUX ring buffer, in this case, it's wrongly to copy the whole the
  AUX ring buffer to perf file.

- As the "head" and "old" pointers are monotonically increased, the
  function __auxtrace_mmap__read() handles these two pointers properly.
  It calculates the reminders for these two pointers, and the size is
  clamped to be never more than "snapshot_size".  We can simply reply on
  the function __auxtrace_mmap__read() to calculate the correct result
  for data copying, it's not necessary to add Arm CoreSight specific
  callback.

perf tools: Support pmu prefix for mem-store event

2021-06-01T14:04:05+00:00

For enabling mem-store event, it doesn't need an auxiliary event.
So just build an event name string with the pmu prefix.

perf tools: Support pmu prefix for mem-load event

2021-06-01T14:03:35+00:00

The perf_mem_events__name() can generate the mem-load event name.
It uses a variable 'mem_loads_name__init' to avoid generating the
event name every time (because perf_pmu__scan takes some time).

The perf_mem_events__name() assumes the pmu is "cpu" but it's not
correct for hybrid platform. For Alderlake, the pmu is "cpu_core" or
"cpu_atom"

Introduce a new parameter 'pmu_name' in perf_mem_events__name
to let the caller specify a pmu name.

Considering such event name is x86 specific, so move
perf_mem_events[] to arch/x86/util/mem-events.c.

We still keep the variable 'mem_loads_name__init' but it's only
used when pmu_name is NULL (compatible for original behavior). When
pmu_name is not NULL (e.g. "cpu_core"), this patch doesn't have
optimization. That can be implemented in follow up patch.

perf tools: Check mem-loads auxiliary event

2021-06-01T14:02:56+00:00

For some platforms, an auxiliary event has to be enabled
simultaneously with the load latency event.

For Alderlake, the auxiliary event is created in "cpu_core" pmu.

So first we need to check the existing of "cpu_core" pmu
and then check if this pmu has auxiliary event.
