perf parse: Fix event parser error for hybrid systems

2022-03-12T14:04:55+00:00

This bug happened on hybrid systems when both cpu_core and cpu_atom
have the same event name such as "UOPS_RETIRED.MS" while their event
terms are different, then during perf stat, the event for cpu_atom
will parse fail and then no output for cpu_atom.

UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/
UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_atom/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x1,event=0xc2/

It is because event terms in the "head" of parse_events_multi_pmu_add
will be changed to event terms for cpu_core after parsing UOPS_RETIRED.MS
for cpu_core, then when parsing the same event for cpu_atom, it still
uses the event terms for cpu_core, but event terms for cpu_atom are
different with cpu_core, the event parses for cpu_atom will fail. This
patch fixes it, the event terms should be parsed from the original
event.

This patch can work for the hybrid systems that have the same event
in more than 2 PMUs. It also can work in non-hybrid systems.

Before:

  # perf stat -v  -e  UOPS_RETIRED.MS  -a sleep 1

  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-97-1
  UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/

perf parse-events: Fix NULL check against wrong variable

2022-03-12T13:47:52+00:00

We did a null check after "tmp->symbol = strdup(...)", but we checked
"list->symbol" other than "tmp->symbol".

perf test: Add parse-events test for aliases with hyphens

2022-01-22T20:21:41+00:00

Add a test which allows us to test parsing an event alias with hyphens.

Since these events typically do not exist on most host systems, add the
alias to the fake pmu.

Function perf_pmu__test_parse_init() has terms added to match known test
aliases.

perf parse-events: Support event alias in form foo-bar-baz

2022-01-22T20:20:12+00:00

Event aliasing for events whose name in the form foo-bar-baz is not
supported, while foo-bar, foo_bar_baz, and other combinations are, i.e.
two hyphens are not supported.

The HiSilicon D06 platform has events in such form:

  $ ./perf list sdir-home-migrate

  List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  uncore hha:
    sdir-home-migrate
   [Unit: hisi_sccl,hha]

  $ sudo ./perf stat -e sdir-home-migrate
  event syntax error: 'sdir-home-migrate'
                          \___ parser error
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf stat [] []

   -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

To support, add an extra PMU event symbol type for "baz", and add a new
rule in the bison file.

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.

The leader of a group is the first, but allow it to be an arbitrary list

perf evsel: Fix memory leaks relating to unit

2021-11-18T13:19:14+00:00

unit may have a strdup pointer or be to a literal, consequently memory
assocciated with it isn't freed. Change it so the unit is always strdup
and so the memory can be safely freed.

Fix related issue in perf_event__process_event_update() for name and
own_cpus. Leaks were spotted by leak sanitizer.

perf parse-event: Add init and exit to parse_event_error

parse_events() may succeed but leave string memory allocations reachable

perf list: Display hybrid PMU events with cpu type

2021-10-25T16:47:42+00:00

Add a new option '--cputype' to 'perf list' to display core-only PMU
events or atom-only PMU events.

Each hybrid PMU event has been assigned with a PMU name, this patch
compares the PMU name before listing the result.

For example:

  perf list --cputype atom
  ...
  cache:
    core_reject_l2q.any
         [Counts the number of request that were not accepted into the L2Q because the L2Q is FULL. Unit: cpu_atom]
  ...

The "Unit: cpu_atom" is displayed in the brief description section
to indicate this is an atom event.
