perf parse-regs: Introduce a weak function arch__sample_reg_masks()

2024-02-15T21:48:36+00:00

Every architecture can provide a register list for sampling. If an
architecture doesn't support register sampling, it won't define the data
structure 'sample_reg_masks'. Consequently, any code using this
structure must be protected by the macro 'HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT'.

This patch defines a weak function, arch__sample_reg_masks(), which will
be replaced by an architecture-defined function for returning the
architecture's register list. With this refactoring, the function always
exists, the condition checking for 'HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' is not
needed anymore, so remove it.

perf mem: Add mem_events into the supported perf_pmu

2024-01-24T22:03:33+00:00

With the mem_events, perf doesn't need to read sysfs for each PMU to
find the mem-events-supported PMU. The patch also makes it possible to
clean up the related __weak functions later.

The patch is only to add the mem_events into the perf_pmu for all ARCHs.
It will be used in the later cleanup patches.

libperf cpumap: Replace usage of perf_cpu_map__new(NULL) with perf_cpu_map__new_online_cpus()

2023-12-12T17:55:13+00:00

Passing NULL to perf_cpu_map__new() performs
perf_cpu_map__new_online_cpus(), just directly call
perf_cpu_map__new_online_cpus() to be more intention revealing.

libperf cpumap: Rename perf_cpu_map__empty() to perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu_or_is_empty()

2023-12-12T17:55:13+00:00

The name perf_cpu_map_empty is misleading as true is also returned
when the map contains an "any" CPU (aka dummy) map.

Rename to perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu_or_is_empty(), later changes will
(re)introduce perf_cpu_map__empty() and perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu().

perf cs-etm: Respect timestamp option

2023-10-17T19:40:51+00:00

When users pass the option '--timestamp' or '-T' in the record command,
all events will set the PERF_SAMPLE_TIME bit in the attribution.  In
this case, the AUX event will record the kernel timestamp, but it
doesn't mean Arm CoreSight enables timestamp packets in its hardware
tracing.

If the option '--timestamp' or '-T' is set, this patch always enables
Arm CoreSight timestamp, as a result, the bit 28 in event's config is to
be set.

Before:

  # perf record -e cs_etm// --per-thread --timestamp -- ls
  # perf script --header-only
  ...
  # event : name = cs_etm//, , id = { 69 }, type = 12, size = 136,
  config = 0, { sample_period, sample_freq } = 1,
  sample_type = IP|TID|TIME|CPU|IDENTIFIER, read_format = ID|LOST,
  disabled = 1, enable_on_exec = 1, sample_id_all = 1, exclude_guest = 1
  ...

After:

  # perf record -e cs_etm// --per-thread --timestamp -- ls
  # perf script --header-only
  ...
  # event : name = cs_etm//, , id = { 49 }, type = 12, size = 136,
  config = 0x10000000, { sample_period, sample_freq } = 1,
  sample_type = IP|TID|TIME|CPU|IDENTIFIER, read_format = ID|LOST,
  disabled = 1, enable_on_exec = 1, sample_id_all = 1, exclude_guest = 1
  ...

perf cs-etm: Validate timestamp tracing in per-thread mode

2023-10-17T19:40:51+00:00

So far, it's impossible to validate timestamp trace in Arm CoreSight when
the perf is in the per-thread mode.  E.g. for the command:

  perf record -e cs_etm/timestamp/ --per-thread -- ls

The command enables config 'timestamp' for 'cs_etm' event in the
per-thread mode.  In this case, the function cs_etm_validate_config()
directly bails out and skips validation.

Given profiled process can be scheduled on any CPUs in the per-thread
mode, this patch validates timestamp tracing for all CPUs when detect
the CPU map is empty.

perf pmu: Lazily compute default config

2023-10-17T19:40:50+00:00

The default config is computed during creation of the PMU and may do
things like scanning sysfs, when the PMU may just be used as part of
scanning. Change default_config to perf_event_attr_init_default, a
callback that is used when a default config needs initializing. This
avoids holding onto the memory for a perf_event_attr and copying.

On a tigerlake laptop running the pmu-scan benchmark:

Before:
Running 'internals/pmu-scan' benchmark:
Computing performance of sysfs PMU event scan for 100 times
  Average core PMU scanning took: 28.780 usec (+- 0.503 usec)
  Average PMU scanning took: 283.480 usec (+- 18.471 usec)
Number of openat syscalls: 30,227

After:
Running 'internals/pmu-scan' benchmark:
Computing performance of sysfs PMU event scan for 100 times
  Average core PMU scanning took: 27.880 usec (+- 0.169 usec)
  Average PMU scanning took: 245.260 usec (+- 15.758 usec)
Number of openat syscalls: 28,914

Over 3 runs it is a nearly 12% reduction in execution time and a 4.3%
of openat calls.

Assign default_config as part of the init. perf_pmu__get_default_config
was doing more than just getting the default config and so this is
intended to better align with the code.
