perf test pmu-events: Fake PMU metric workaround

2022-12-21T17:52:40+00:00

We test metrics with fake events with fake values. The fake values may
yield division by zero and so we count both up and down to try to
avoid this. Unfortunately this isn't sufficient for some metrics and
so don't fail the test for them.

Add the metric name to debug output.

perf test: Fix "all PMU test" to skip parametrized events

2022-12-21T17:52:40+00:00

Parametrized events are not only a powerpc domain. They occur on other
platforms too (e.g. aarch64). They should be ignored in this testcase,
since proper setup of the parameters is out of scope of this script.

Let's not filter them out by PMU name, but rather based on the fact that
they expect a parameter.

perf tools: Fix usage of the verbose variable

2022-12-20T18:16:33+00:00

The data type of the verbose variable is integer and can be negative,
replace improperly used cases in a unified manner:
 1. if (verbose)        => if (verbose > 0)
 2. if (!verbose)       => if (verbose <= 0)
 3. if (XX && verbose)  => if (XX && verbose > 0)
 4. if (XX && !verbose) => if (XX && verbose <= 0)

Merge remote-tracking branch 'torvalds/master' into perf/core

To resolve a trivial merge conflict with c302378bc157f6a7 ("libbpf:

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

2022-12-15T19:12:21+00:00

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM64:

   - Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
     option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
     dirtied by something other than a vcpu.

   - Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
     page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.

   - Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
     option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge
     commit 382b5b87a97d: "Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as
     races on the tags being initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as
     well as the lack of support for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved.
     Patches from Catalin Marinas and Peter Collingbourne").

   - Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the
     hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state
     private.

   - Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
     for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
     no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
     actually exist out there.

   - Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB
     pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB
     pages.

   - Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
     good merge window would be complete without those.

  s390:

   - Second batch of the lazy destroy patches

   - First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address
     support

   - Removal of a unused function

  x86:

   - Allow compiling out SMM support

   - Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format

   - Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area

   - Respond to generic signals during slow page faults

   - Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata
     fix.

   - Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change

   - Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests

   - Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2
     guest running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)

   - Advertise several new Intel features

   - x86 Xen-for-KVM:

      - Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary

      - Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured

      - Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll

   - Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:

      - One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).

      - Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped
        a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when
        switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.

      - Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that
        params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.

      - Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL
        irrespective of the current guest CPUID.

      - Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM
        incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a
        CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC
        frequency.

      - Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported

      - Remove unnecessary exports

  Generic:

   - Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
     new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks

  Selftests:

   - Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
     support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
     running on bare metal.

   - Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what
     is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
     static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.

   - Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests

   - Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.

   - Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress".

   - Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize
     the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the memstress
     tests.

   - Add a common ucall implementation; code dedup and pre-work for
     running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests.

   - Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually
     be used by x86 to automatically select the right hypercall (AMD vs.
     Intel).

   - A bunch of added/enabled/fixed selftests for ARM64, covering
     memslots, breakpoints, stage-2 faults and access tracking.

   - x86-specific selftest changes:

      - Clean up x86's page table management.

      - Clean up and enhance the "smaller maxphyaddr" test, and add a
        related test to cover generic emulation failure.

      - Clean up the nEPT support checks.

      - Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve multi-bit CPUID values.

      - Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent
        conversions to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard
        against similar bugs in the future. Anything that tiggers
        caching of KVM's supported CPUID, kvm_cpu_has() in this case,
        effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if the caching occurs
        before the test opts in via prctl().

  Documentation:

   - Remove deleted ioctls from documentation

   - Clean up the docs for the x86 MSR filter.

perf tools: Use "grep -E" instead of "egrep"

2022-12-14T18:28:19+00:00

The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
now contains warnings that look like:

	egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E

fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead.

  sed -i "s/egrep/grep -E/g" `grep egrep -rwl tools/perf`

Here are the steps to install the latest grep:

  wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz
  tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz
  cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make
  sudo make install
  export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

perf evlist: Remove group option.

2022-12-14T18:28:18+00:00

The group option predates grouping events using curly braces added in
commit 89efb029502d7f2d ("perf tools: Add support to parse event group
syntax").

The --group option was retained for legacy support (in August
2012) but keeping it adds complexity.

perf test: Add mechanism for skipping attr tests on kernel versions

2022-12-14T14:24:32+00:00

The first two version numbers are used since that is where the ABI
changes happen, so seems to be the most useful for now.

'Until' is exclusive and 'since' is inclusive so that the same version
number can be used to mark a point where the change comes into effect.

This allows keeping the tests in a state where new tests will also pass
on older kernels if the existence of a new feature isn't explicitly
broadcast by the kernel. For example extended user regs are currently
discovered by trial and error calls to perf_event_open.
