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 evlist: Refactor evlist__for_each_cpu()

2022-01-12T17:28:22+00:00

Previously evlist__for_each_cpu() needed to iterate over the evlist in
an inner loop and call "skip" routines. Refactor this so that the
iteratr is smarter and the next function can update both the current CPU
and evsel.

By using a cpu map index, fix apparent off-by-1 in __run_perf_stat's
call to perf_evsel__close_cpu().

perf stat: Support --cputype option for hybrid events

2021-12-08T01:18:25+00:00

In previous patch, we have supported the syntax which enables
the event on a specified pmu, such as:

cpu_core//
cpu_atom//

While this syntax is not very easy for applying on a set of
events or applying on a group. In following example, we have to
explicitly assign the pmu prefix.

  # ./perf stat -e '{cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/instructions/}' -- sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

           1,158,545      cpu_core/cycles/
           1,003,113      cpu_core/instructions/

         1.002428712 seconds time elapsed

A much easier way is:

  # ./perf stat --cputype core -e '{cycles,instructions}' -- sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

           1,101,071      cpu_core/cycles/
             939,892      cpu_core/instructions/

         1.002363142 seconds time elapsed

For this example, the '--cputype' enables the events from specified
pmu (cpu_core).

If '--cputype' conflicts with pmu prefix, '--cputype' is ignored.

  # ./perf stat --cputype core -e cycles,cpu_atom/instructions/ -a -- sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

          21,003,407      cpu_core/cycles/
             367,886      cpu_atom/instructions/

         1.002203520 seconds time elapsed

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.

perf evlist: Add evlist__for_each_entry_from() macro

2021-09-01T14:24:43+00:00

This patch adds a new iteration macro for evlist that resumes iteration
from a given evsel in the evlist.

This macro will be used in the workqueue series.

perf mem: Disable 'mem-loads-aux' group before reporting

2021-06-01T14:06:01+00:00

For some platforms, such as Alderlake, the 'mem-loads' event is required
to use together with 'mem-loads-aux' within a group and 'mem-loads-aux'
must be the group leader. Now we disable this group before reporting
because 'mem-loads-aux' is just an auxiliary event. It doesn't carry
any valid memory load result. If we show the 'mem-loads-aux' +
'mem-loads' as a group in report, it needs many of changes but they
are totally unnecessary.

perf evlist: Add a method to return the list of evsels as a string

2021-04-15T19:33:57+00:00

Add a 'scnprintf' method to obtain the list of evsels in a evlist as a
string, excluding the "dummy" event used for things like receiving
metadata events (PERF_RECORD_FORK, MMAP, etc) when synthesizing
preexisting threads.

Will be used to improve the error message for workload failure in 'perf
record.
