perf parse-events: Ignore case in topdown.slots check

2022-03-18T21:39:09+00:00

An issue with icelakex metrics:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/icelakex/icx-metrics.json?h=perf/core&id=65eab2bc7dab326ee892ec5a4c749470b368b51a#n48

That causes the slots not to be first.

tools headers UAPI: Sync files changed by new set_mempolicy_home_node syscall

2022-01-20T14:20:37+00:00

To pick the changes in these csets:

  21b084fdf2a49ca1 ("mm/mempolicy: wire up syscall set_mempolicy_home_node")

That add support for this new syscall in tools such as 'perf trace'.

For instance, this is now possible:

perf cpumap: Give CPUs their own type

2022-01-12T17:28:23+00:00

A common problem is confusing CPU map indices with the CPU, by wrapping
the CPU with a struct then this is avoided. This approach is similar to
atomic_t.

Committer notes:

To make it build with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 these files needed the
conversions to 'struct perf_cpu' usage:

  tools/perf/util/bpf_counter.c
  tools/perf/util/bpf_counter_cgroup.c
  tools/perf/util/bpf_ftrace.c

Also perf_env__get_cpu() was removed back in "perf cpumap: Switch
cpu_map__build_map to cpu function".

Additionally these needed to be fixed for the ARM builds to complete:

  tools/perf/arch/arm/util/cs-etm.c
  tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/pmu.c

perf tools: Record ARM64 LR register automatically

2021-12-21T21:35:23+00:00

On ARM64, automatically record the link register if the frame pointer
mode is on. It will be used to do a dwarf unwind to find the caller of
the leaf frame if the frame pointer was omitted.

perf arch: Support register names from all archs

2021-12-16T15:18:12+00:00

When reading a perf.data file with register values, there is a mismatch
between the names and the values of the registers because the tool is
built using only the register names from the local architecture.

Reading a perf.data file that was recorded on ARM64, gives the following
erroneous output on an X86 machine:

  # perf report -i perf_arm64.data -D
  [...]

As can be seen, the register names correspond to X86 registers, even

patch, the output of the command displays the correct register names:

perf arm64: Rename perf_event_arm_regs for ARM64 registers

2021-12-16T15:18:12+00:00

The registers for ARM and ARM64 are enumerated using two enums that have
the same name. In order to be able to import both headers, the name of
one can be replaced using the C preprocessor like so:

  #define perf_event_arm_regs perf_event_arm64_regs
  #include 
  #undef perf_event_arm_regs

This patch updates all imports of ARM64's perf_regs.h in order to
prevent the naming collision.

perf cs-etm: Remove duplicate and incorrect aux size checks

2021-12-16T15:18:12+00:00

There are two checks, one is for size when running without admin, but
this one is covered by the driver and reported on in more detail here
(builtin-record.c):

  pr_err("Permission error mapping pages.\n"
         "Consider increasing "
         "/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb,\n"
         "or try again with a smaller value of -m/--mmap_pages.\n"
         "(current value: %u,%u)\n",

This had the effect of artificially limiting the aux buffer size to a
value smaller than what was allowed because perf_event_mlock_kb wasn't
taken into account.

The second is to check for a power of two, but this is covered here
(evlist.c):

  pr_info("rounding mmap pages size to %s (%lu pages)\n",
          buf, pages);

perf parse-events: Architecture specific leader override

2021-12-08T01:18:24+00:00

Currently topdown events must appear after a slots event:

  $ perf stat -e '{slots,topdown-fe-bound}' /bin/true

   Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

         3,183,090      slots
           986,133      topdown-fe-bound

Reversing the events yields:

  $ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (topdown-fe-bound).

For metrics the order of events is determined by iterating over a
hashmap, and so slots isn't guaranteed to be first which can yield this
error.

Change the set_leader in parse-events, called when a group is closed, so
that rather than always making the first event the leader, if the slots
event exists then it is made the leader. It is then moved to the head of
the evlist otherwise it won't be opened in the correct order.

The result is:

  $ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true

   Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

         3,274,795      slots
         1,001,702      topdown-fe-bound

A problem with this approach is the slots event is identified by name,
names can be overwritten like 'cpu/slots,name=foo/' and this causes the
leader change to fail.

The change also modifies and fixes mixed groups like, with the change:

  $ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

        5574985410      slots
         971981616      instructions
        1348461887      topdown-fe-bound

       2.001263120 seconds time elapsed

Without the change:

  $ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

           instructions
           slots
         topdown-fe-bound

       2.006247990 seconds time elapsed

Something that may be undesirable here is that the events are reordered
in the output.
