perf parse-events: Remove "not supported" hybrid cache events

2022-09-26T13:16:26+00:00

By default, we create two hybrid cache events, one is for cpu_core, and
another is for cpu_atom. But Some hybrid hardware cache events are only
available on one CPU PMU. For example, the 'L1-dcache-load-misses' is only
available on cpu_core, while the 'L1-icache-loads' is only available on
cpu_atom. We need to remove "not supported" hybrid cache events. By
extending is_event_supported() to global API and using it to check if the
hybrid cache events are supported before being created, we can remove the
"not supported" hybrid cache events.

Before:

 # ./perf stat -e L1-dcache-load-misses,L1-icache-loads -a sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

            52,570      cpu_core/L1-dcache-load-misses/

         cpu_core/L1-icache-loads/
         1,471,817      cpu_atom/L1-icache-loads/

       1.004915229 seconds time elapsed

After:

 # ./perf stat -e L1-dcache-load-misses,L1-icache-loads -a sleep 1

perf tools: Do not pass NULL to parse_events()

2022-08-10T17:30:09+00:00

Many cases do not use the extra error information provided by
parse_events and instead pass NULL as the struct parse_events_error
pointer. Add a wrapper for those cases so that the pointer is never
NULL.

perf parse-events: Fix segfault when event parser gets an error

2022-08-10T17:29:23+00:00

parse_events() is often called with parse_events_error set to NULL.
Make parse_events_error__handle() not segfault in that case.

A subsequent patch changes to avoid passing NULL in the first place.

perf parse-events: Break out tracepoint and printing

2022-08-02T19:32:26+00:00

Move print_*_events functions out of parse-events.c into a new
print-events.c. Move tracepoint code into tracepoint.c or
trace-event-info.c (sole user). This reduces the dependencies of
parse-events.c and makes it more amenable to being a library in the
future.

Remove some unnecessary definitions from parse-events.h. Fix a
checkpatch.pl warning on using unsigned rather than unsigned int.  Fix
some line length warnings too.

perf parse-events: Don't #define YY_EXTRA_TYPE

2022-08-02T18:06:39+00:00

Adding a #define to side-effect a local include isn't clean, for
example, it inhibits header precompilation. YY_EXTRA_TYPE is
defined to be void* by default, so just remove.

perf stat: Add requires_cpu flag for uncore

2022-05-26T15:36:57+00:00

Uncore events require a CPU i.e. it cannot be -1.

The evsel system_wide flag is intended for events that should be on every
CPU, which does not make sense for uncore events because uncore events do
not map one-to-one with CPUs.

These 2 requirements are not exactly the same, so introduce a new flag
'requires_cpu' for the uncore case.

perf list: Print all available tool events

2022-04-20T18:05:00+00:00

Introduce names for the new tool events 'user_time' and 'system_time'.

  $ perf list

Before:

  $ perf list | grep Tool
  duration_time                                      [Tool event]

perf stat: Add user_time and system_time events

2022-04-20T16:44:56+00:00

It bothered me that during benchmarking using 'perf stat' (to collect
for example CPU cache events) I could not simultaneously retrieve the
times spend in user or kernel mode in a machine readable format.

When running 'perf stat' the output for humans contains the times
reported by rusage and wait4.

  $ perf stat -e cache-misses:u -- true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

             4,206      cache-misses:u

       0.001113619 seconds time elapsed

       0.001175000 seconds user
       0.000000000 seconds sys

But 'perf stat's machine-readable format does not provide this information.

  $ perf stat -x, -e cache-misses:u -- true
  4282,,cache-misses:u,492859,100.00,,

I found no way to retrieve this information using the available events
while using machine-readable output.

This patch adds two new tool internal events 'user_time' and
'system_time', similarly to the already present 'duration_time' event.

Both events use the already collected rusage information obtained by
wait4 and tracked in the global ru_stats.

Examples presenting cache-misses and rusage information in both human
and machine-readable form:

  $ perf stat -e duration_time,user_time,system_time,cache-misses -- grep -q -r duration_time .

   Performance counter stats for 'grep -q -r duration_time .':

        67,422,542 ns   duration_time:u
        50,517,000 ns   user_time:u
        16,839,000 ns   system_time:u
            30,937      cache-misses:u

       0.067422542 seconds time elapsed

       0.050517000 seconds user
       0.016839000 seconds sys

  $ perf stat -x, -e duration_time,user_time,system_time,cache-misses -- grep -q -r duration_time .
