[ Upstream commit b24192a17337abbf3f44aaa75e15df14a2d0016e ]

The function percent_rmt_hitm_cmp() wrongly uses local HITMs for
sorting remote HITMs.

Since this function is to sort cache lines for remote HITMs, this patch
changes to use 'rmt_hitm' field for correct sorting.

[ Upstream commit 151e7d75036b4e2ac0f33730bc1a5b3ff424d9a7 ]

With the hardware TopDown metrics feature, the sample-read feature should
be supported for a TopDown group, e.g., sample a non-topdown event and read
a Topdown metric group. But the current perf record code errors are out.

For a TopDown metric group,the slots event must be the leader of the group,
but the leader slots event doesn't support sampling. To support sample-read
the TopDown metric group, uses the 2nd event of the group as the "leader"
for the purposes of sampling.

Only the platform with the TopDown metric feature supports sample-read the
topdown group. In commit acb65150a47c ("perf record: Support sample-read
topdown metric group"), it adds arch_topdown_sample_read() to indicate
whether the TopDown group supports sample-read, it should only work on the
non-hybrid systems, this patch extends the support for hybrid platforms.

Before:

  # ./perf record -e "{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}:S" -a sleep 1
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cpu_core/topdown-retiring/).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

After:

  # ./perf record -e "{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}:S" -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.238 MB perf.data (369 samples) ]

[ Upstream commit e0e14cdff31d326f81e0edbd5140f788c870756c ]

The commit 94dbfd6781a0e87b ("perf parse-events: Architecture specific
leader override") introduced a feature to reorder the slots event to
fulfill the restriction of the perf metrics topdown group. But the
feature doesn't work on the hybrid machine.

  $ perf stat -e "{cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}" -a sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       &lt;not counted&gt;      cpu_core/instructions/
       &lt;not counted&gt;      cpu_core/slots/
     &lt;not supported&gt;      cpu_core/topdown-retiring/

         1.002871801 seconds time elapsed

A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while
current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu".

Introduce a new function to check whether the system supports the perf
metrics feature. The result is cached for the future usage.

For X86, the core PMU name always has "cpu" prefix.

With the patch:

  $ perf stat -e "{cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}" -a sleep 1

A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while
the current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu".

The evsel-&gt;pmu_name can be used to replace the "cpu" to fix the issue.
For a hybrid platform, the pmu_name must be non-NULL. Because there are
at least two core PMUs. The PMU has to be specified.
For a non-hybrid platform, the pmu_name may be NULL. Because there is
only one core PMU, "cpu". For a NULL pmu_name, we can safely assume that
it is a "cpu" PMU.

In case other PMUs also define the "slots" event, checking the PMU type
as well.

[ Upstream commit 39d5f412da84784bcc7f39ed49e55376be526fc7 ]

The patch ("perf evlist: Keep topdown counters in weak group") fixes the
perf metrics topdown event issue when the topdown events are in a weak
group on a non-hybrid platform. However, it doesn't work for the hybrid
platform.

A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while
the current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu".

The evsel-&gt;pmu_name can be used to replace the "cpu" to fix the issue.
For a hybrid platform, the pmu_name must be non-NULL. Because there are
at least two core PMUs. The PMU has to be specified.
For a non-hybrid platform, the pmu_name may be NULL. Because there is
only one core PMU, "cpu". For a NULL pmu_name, we can safely assume that
it is a "cpu" PMU.

In case other PMUs also define the "slots" event, checking the PMU type
as well.

With the patch,

  $ perf stat -e '{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-bad-spec/,
  cpu_core/topdown-be-bound/,cpu_core/topdown-fe-bound/,

commit e69a5c010246ca6a87c4e6f13d0a291954bdece8 upstream.

For the hybrid system, the "slots" event changes to "cpu_core/slots/", need
extend API arch_evsel__must_be_in_group() to support hybrid systems.

In the origin code, for hybrid system event "cpu_core/slots/", the output
of the API arch_evsel__must_be_in_group() is "false" (in fact,it should be
"true"). Currently only one API evsel__remove_from_group() calls it. In
evsel__remove_from_group(), it adds the second condition to check, so the
output of evsel__remove_from_group() still is correct. That's the reason
why there isn't an instant error. I'd like to fix the issue found in API
arch_evsel__must_be_in_group() in case someone else using the function in
the other place.

<title>perf jevents: Fix event syntax error caused by ExtSel</title>

[ Upstream commit f4df0dbbe62ee8e4405a57b27ccd54393971c773 ]

In the origin code, when "ExtSel" is 1, the eventcode will change to
"eventcode |= 1 &lt;&lt; 21”. For event “UNC_Q_RxL_CREDITS_CONSUMED_VN0.DRS",
its "ExtSel" is "1", its eventcode will change from 0x1E to 0x20001E,
but in fact the eventcode should &lt;=0x1FF, so this will cause the parse
fail:

  # perf stat -e "UNC_Q_RxL_CREDITS_CONSUMED_VN0.DRS" -a sleep 0.1
  event syntax error: '.._RxL_CREDITS_CONSUMED_VN0.DRS'
                                    \___ value too big for format, maximum is 511

On the perf kernel side, the kernel assumes the valid bits are continuous.
It will adjust the 0x100 (bit 8 for perf tool) to bit 21 in HW.

DEFINE_UNCORE_FORMAT_ATTR(event_ext, event, "config:0-7,21");

So the perf tool follows the kernel side and just set bit8 other than bit21.

If the slang lib is not installed on the system, perf c2c tool disables TUI
mode and roll back to use stdio mode;  but the flag 'c2c.use_stdio' is
missed to set true and thus it wrongly applies UI quirks in the function
ui_quirks().

This commit forces to use stdio interface if slang is not supported, and
it can avoid to apply the UI quirks and show the correct metric header.

[ Upstream commit e8f4f794d7047dd36f090f44f12cd645fba204d2 ]

If any member in a group has a different cpu mask than the other
members, the current perf stat disables group. when the perf metrics
topdown events are part of the group, the below &lt;not supported&gt; error
will be triggered.

  $ perf stat -e "{slots,topdown-retiring,uncore_imc_free_running_0/dclk/}" -a sleep 1
  WARNING: grouped events cpus do not match, disabling group:
    anon group { slots, topdown-retiring, uncore_imc_free_running_0/dclk/ }

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

         141,465,174      slots
     &lt;not supported&gt;      topdown-retiring
       1,605,330,334      uncore_imc_free_running_0/dclk/

The perf metrics topdown events must always be grouped with a slots
event as leader.

Factor out evsel__remove_from_group() to only remove the regular events
from the group.

Remove evsel__must_be_in_group(), since no one use it anymore.

With the patch, the topdown events aren't broken from the group for the
splitting.

On Intel Icelake, topdown events must always be grouped with a slots
event as leader. When a metric is parsed a weak group is formed and
retried if perf_event_open fails. The retried events aren't grouped
breaking the slots leader requirement. This change modifies the weak
group "reset" behavior so that topdown events aren't broken from the
group for the retry.

[ Upstream commit e7d1374ed5cb346efd9b3df03814dbc0767adb4e ]

The evsel-&gt;name may have a different format for a topdown event, a pure
topdown name (e.g., topdown-fe-bound), or a PMU name + a topdown name
(e.g., cpu/topdown-fe-bound/). The cpu/topdown-fe-bound/ kind format
isn't supported by the arch_evlist__leader(). This format is a very
common format for a hybrid platform, which requires specifying the PMU
name for each event.

Without the patch,

  $ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,cpu/topdown-fe-bound/}' -a sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       &lt;not counted&gt;      instructions
       &lt;not counted&gt;      slots
     &lt;not supported&gt;      cpu/topdown-fe-bound/

         1.003482041 seconds time elapsed

  Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog:
          echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
          perf stat ...
          echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
  The events in group usually have to be from the same PMU. Try reorganizing the group.

With the patch,

  $ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,cpu/topdown-fe-bound/}' -a sleep 1

  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

         157,383,996      slots
          25,011,711      instructions
          27,441,686      cpu/topdown-fe-bound/
