2020-11-30T18:15:27+00:00

perf_evlist__ is for 'struct perf_evlist' methods, in tools/lib/perf/,
go on completing this split.

perf tools: Add support for exclusive groups/events

2020-10-14T15:24:28+00:00

Peter suggested that using the exclusive mode in perf could avoid some
problems with bad scheduling of groups. Exclusive is implemented in the
kernel, but wasn't exposed by the perf tool, so hard to use without
custom low level API users.

Add support for marking groups or events with :e for exclusive in the
perf tool.  The implementation is basically the same as the existing
pinned attribute.

Committer testing:

perf parse-events: Set exclude_guest=1 for user-space counting

2020-09-01T15:15:51+00:00

Currently if we run 'perf record -e cycles:u', exclude_guest=0.

But it doesn't make sense in most cases that we request for
user-space counting but we also get the guest report.

Of course, we also need to consider 'perf kvm' usage case that
authorized perf users on the host may only want to count guest user
space events. For example,

  # perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u

When we have 'exclude_guest=1' for 'perf kvm' usage, we may get nothing
from guest events.

To keep perf semantics consistent and clear, this patch sets
exclude_guest=1 for user-space counting but except for 'perf kvm' usage.

Before:

  perf record -e cycles:u ./div
  perf evlist -v
  cycles:u: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, ...

After:
  perf record -e cycles:u ./div
  perf evlist -v
  cycles:u: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1,  exclude_guest: 1, ...

Before:
  perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u -vvv

perf_event_attr:

  size                             120
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
  sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD
  read_format                      ID
  disabled                         1
  inherit                          1
  exclude_kernel                   1
  exclude_hv                       1
  freq                             1
  sample_id_all                    1

After:

  perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u -vvv

perf_event_attr:
  size                             120
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
  sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD
  read_format                      ID
  disabled                         1
  inherit                          1
  exclude_kernel                   1
  exclude_hv                       1
  freq                             1
  sample_id_all                    1

For Before/After, exclude_guest are both 0 for perf kvm usage.

perf tools: Fix term parsing for raw syntax

2020-07-30T10:01:48+00:00

Jin Yao reported issue with possible conflict between raw events and
term values in pmu event syntax.

Currently following syntax is resolved as raw event with 0xead value:

  uncore_imc_free_running/read/

instead of using 'read' term from uncore_imc_free_running pmu, because
'read' is correct raw event syntax with 0xead value.

To solve this issue we do following:

  - check existing terms during rXXXX syntax processing
    and make them priority in case of conflict

  - allow pmu/r0x1234/ syntax to be able to specify conflicting
    raw event (implemented in previous patch)

Also add automated tests for this and perf_pmu__parse_cleanup call to
parse_events_terms, so the test gets properly cleaned up.

perf tools: Allow r0x event syntax

2020-07-30T10:01:48+00:00

Add support to specify raw event with 'r0' syntax within pmu term
syntax like:

  -e cpu/r0xdead/

It will be used to specify raw events in cases where they conflict with
real pmu terms, like 'read', which is valid raw event syntax, but also a
possible pmu term name as reported by Jin Yao.

perf parser: Add support to specify rXXX event with pmu

2020-04-18T12:05:00+00:00

The current rXXXX event specification creates event under PERF_TYPE_RAW
pmu type. This change allows to use rXXXX within pmu syntax, so it's
type is used via the following syntax:

  -e 'cpu/r3c/'
  -e 'cpum_cf/r0/'

The XXXX number goes directly to perf_event_attr::config the same way as
in '-e rXXXX' event. The perf_event_attr::type is filled with pmu type.

Committer testing:

So, lets see what goes in perf_event_attr::config for, say, the
'instructions' PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE (0) event, first we should look at how
to encode this event as a PERF_TYPE_RAW event for this specific CPU, an
AMD Ryzen 5:

  # cat /sys/devices/cpu/events/instructions
  event=0xc0
  #

Then try with it _and_ the instruction, just to see that they are close
enough:

  # perf stat -e rc0,instructions sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

             919,794      rc0
             919,898      instructions

         1.000754579 seconds time elapsed

         0.000715000 seconds user
         0.000000000 seconds sys
  #

Now we should try, before this patch, the PMU event encoding:

  # perf stat -e cpu/rc0/ sleep 1
  event syntax error: 'cpu/rc0/'
                           \___ unknown term

  valid terms: event,edge,inv,umask,cmask,config,config1,config2,name,period,percore
  #

Now with this patch, the three ways of specifying the 'instructions' CPU
counter are accepted:

  # perf stat -e cpu/rc0/,rc0,instructions sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

             892,948      cpu/rc0/
             893,052      rc0
             893,156      instructions

         1.000931819 seconds time elapsed

         0.000916000 seconds user
         0.000000000 seconds sys
