perf kvm: Add arch neutral function to choose event for perf kvm record
'perf kvm record' uses 'cycles'(if the user did not specify any event)
as the default event to profile the guest.
This will not provide any proper samples from the guest incase of
powerpc architecture, since in powerpc the PMUs are controlled by the
guest rather than the host.
Patch adds a function to pick an arch specific event for 'perf kvm
record', instead of selecting 'cycles' as a default event for all
architectures.
For powerpc this function checks for any user specified event, and if
there isn't any it returns invalid instead of proceeding with 'cycles'
event.
perf kvm: Move kvm-stat header file from conditional inclusion to common include section
Move kvm-stat header file to the common include section, and make the
definitions in the header file under the conditional inclusion `#ifdef
HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT`.
This helps to define other 'perf kvm' related function prototypes in
kvm-stat header file, which may not need kvm-stat support.
perf stat: Fix a segmentation fault when using repeat forever
Observe a segmentation fault when 'perf stat' is asked to repeat forever
with the interval option.
Without fix:
# perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
# time counts unit events
5.000211692 3,13,89,82,34,157 cycles
10.000380119 1,53,98,52,22,294 cycles
10.040467280 17,16,79,265 cycles
Segmentation fault
This problem was only observed when we use forever option aka -r 0 and
works with limited repeats. Calling print_counter with ts being set to
NULL, is not a correct option when interval is set. Hence avoid
print_counter(NULL,..) if interval is set.
Did the 'git bisect' to find the cset introducing the problem to add the
Fixes tag below, and at that time the problem reproduced as:

prev_raw_counts is allocated when using intervals. This is used when
calculating the difference in the counts of events when using interval.
The current counts are stored in prev_raw_counts to calculate the
differences in the next iteration.
On the first interval of the second and subsequent repetitions,
prev_raw_counts would be the values stored in the last interval of the
previous repetitions, while the current counts will only be for the
first interval of the current repetition.
Hence there is a possibility of events showing up as big number.
Fix this by resetting prev_raw_counts whenever perf stat repeats the
command.
With the fix:
# perf stat -r 3 -I 2000 -e faults -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 5
This was broken since the cset introducing the --interval feature, i.e.
--repeat + --interval wasn't tested at that point, add the Fixes tag so
that automatic scripts can pick this up.
perf tools: Move event synthesizing routines to separate .c file
For better grouping, in time we may end up making most of these static,
i.e. generalizing the 'perf record' synthesizing code so that based on
the target it can do the right thing and call the needed synthesizers.
perf tools: Move event synthesizing routines to separate header
Those are the only routines using the perf_event__handler_t typedef and
are all related, so move to a separate header to reduce the header
dependency tree, lots of places were getting event.h and even stdio.h,
limits.h indirectly, so fix those as well.
perf tools: Remove debug.h from places where it is not needed
Pruning a bit more the includes dependency tree. Building this thing on
lots of containers takes time, we better reduce the time per build, each
container is doing 6 builds when clang and clang-devel are available,
and the plan is to do a 'make -C tools/perf build-test' that have many
more.
Also helps when doing normal development, as touching some random file
will have a much reduced chance of triggering lots of rebuilds.
Nothing from that file is used in util/debug.h, it is only needed in
some places that get it indirectly via including util/debug.h, remove
that entanglement.
perf tools: Remove needless builtin.h include directives
Now that builtin.h isn't included by any other header, we can check
where it is really needed, i.e. we can remove it and be sure that it
isn't being obtained indirectly.

"A set of fixes for x86:
- Fix the bogus detection of 32bit user mode for uretprobes which
caused corruption of the user return address resulting in
application crashes. In the uprobes handler in_ia32_syscall() is
obviously always returning false on a 64bit kernel. Use
user_64bit_mode() instead which works correctly.
- Prevent large page splitting when ftrace flips RW/RO on the kernel
text which caused iTLB performance issues. Ftrace wants to be
converted to text_poke() which avoids the problem, but for now
allow large page preservation in the static protections check when
the change request spawns a full large page.
- Prevent arch_dynirq_lower_bound() from returning 0 when the IOAPIC
is configured via device tree. In the device tree case the GSI 1:1
mapping is meaningless therefore the lower bound which protects the
GSI range on ACPI machines is irrelevant. Return the lower bound
which the core hands to the function instead of blindly returning 0
which causes the core to allocate the invalid virtual interupt
number 0 which in turn prevents all drivers from allocating and
requesting an interrupt.
- Remove the bogus initialization of LDR and DFR in the 32bit bigsmp
APIC driver. That uses physical destination mode where LDR/DFR are
ignored, but the initialization and the missing clear of LDR caused
the APIC to be left in a inconsistent state on kexec/reboot.
- Clear LDR when clearing the APIC registers so the APIC is in a well

Now that there's a common version of the decoder for all tools, use it

Also use perf's check-headers.sh script to diff the decoder files to

similar check.
Committer notes:
Had to keep this all pointing explicitely to x86 headers/files, i.e.
instead of asm/isnn.h we had to use ../include/asm/insn.h when the files
were in differemt dirs, or just replace "<asm/foo.h>" with "foo.h".
This way we continue to be able to process perf.data files with Intel PT
traces in distros other than x86.
Also fixed up the awk script paths to use $(srcdir)/tools/arch instead
or relative directories so that we keep detached tarballs (make help |
grep perf) working.
For now the include lines in these headers are being ignored so as not
to flag false reports of kernel/tools out of sync.

objtool: Move x86 insn decoder to a common location
The kernel tree has three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder. Two of them are in the tools subdir.
The tools subdir is supposed to be completely standalone and separate
from the kernel. So having at least one copy of the kernel decoder in
the tools subdir is unavoidable. However, we don't need *two* of them.
Move objtool's copy of the decoder to a shared location, so that perf
will also be able to use it.
No metrics 'UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL' or 'UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY' are
reported.
The issue is, the case of an alias expanding to mulitple events is not
supported, typically the uncore events. (see comments in
find_evsel_group()).
For UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL in above example, the expanded event group
is '{unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts,unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts}:W', but the actual
events passed to find_evsel_group are:
For this multiple events case, it's not supported well.
This patch introduces a new field 'metric_leader' in struct evsel. The
first event is considered as a metric leader. For the rest of same
events, they point to the first event via it's metric_leader field in
struct evsel.
This design is for adding the counting results of all same events to the
first event in group (the metric_leader).
With this patch,
root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL -a -- sleep 1
Currently this function is static. This patch renames the function to
perf_pmu__convert_scale and changes the function to global. No

perf symbols: Move mem_info and branch_info out of symbol.h

noticed that lots of places were getting even things like build-id
routines and 'struct perf_tool' definition indirectly, so fix all those
too.
The tep_register_trace_clock() API is used to instruct the traceevent
library how to print the event time stamps. As event print interface if
redesigned, this API is not needed any more. The new event print API is
flexible and the user can specify how the time stamps are printed.
libtraceevent, perf tools: Changes in tep_print_event_* APIs
Libtraceevent APIs for printing various trace events information are
complicated, there are complex extra parameters. To control the way
event information is printed, the user should call a set of functions in
a specific sequence.
These APIs are reimplemented to provide a more simple interface for
printing event information.
A new API for printing event information is introduced:
void tep_print_event(struct tep_handle *tep, struct trace_seq *s,
struct tep_record *record, const char *fmt, ...);
where "fmt" is a printf-like format string, followed by the event
fields to be printed. Supported fields:
TEP_PRINT_PID, "%d" - event PID
TEP_PRINT_CPU, "%d" - event CPU
TEP_PRINT_COMM, "%s" - event command string
TEP_PRINT_NAME, "%s" - event name
TEP_PRINT_LATENCY, "%s" - event latency
TEP_PRINT_TIME, %d - event time stamp. A divisor and precision
can be specified as part of this format string:
"%precision.divisord". Example:
"%3.1000d" - divide the time by 1000 and print the first 3 digits
before the dot. Thus, the time stamp "123456000" will be printed as
"123.456"
TEP_PRINT_INFO, "%s" - event information.
TEP_PRINT_INFO_RAW, "%s" - event information, in raw format.

family. But the rapl_probe_amd() function use wrong model parameter.
Fix the wrong caller parameter of get_tdp_amd() to use family.
In some case C1% will be wrong value, when platform doesn't have MSR for
C1 residency.
For example:
Core CPU CPU%c1
- - 100.00
0 0 100.00
0 2 100.00
1 1 100.00
1 3 100.00
But adding Busy% will fix this
Core CPU Busy% CPU%c1
- - 99.77 0.23
0 0 99.77 0.23
0 2 99.77 0.23
1 1 99.77 0.23
1 3 99.77 0.23
This issue can be reproduced on most of the recent systems including
Broadwell, Skylake and later.
This is because if we don't select Busy% or Avg_MHz or Bzy_MHz then
mperf value will not be read from MSR, so it will be 0. But this
is required for C1% calculation when MSR for C1 residency is not present.
Same is true for C3, C6 and C7 column selection.
So add another define DO_BIC_READ(), which doesn't depend on user
column selection and use for mperf, C3, C6 and C7 related counters.
So when there is no platform support for C1 residency counters,
we still read these counters, if the CPU has support and user selected
display of CPU%c1.

tools/power turbostat: do not enforce 1ms
Turbostat works by taking a snapshot of counters, sleeping, taking another
snapshot, calculating deltas, and printing out the table.
The sleep time is controlled via -i option or by user sending a signal or a
character to stdin. In the latter case, turbostat always adds 1 ms
sleep before it reads the counters, in order to avoid larger imprecisions
in the results in prints.
While the 1 ms delay may be a good idea for a "dumb" user, it is a
problem for an "aware" user. I do thousands and thousands of measurements
over a short period of time (like 2ms), and turbostat unconditionally adds
a 1ms to my interval, so I cannot get what I really need.
This patch removes the unconditional 1ms sleep. This is an expert user
tool, after all, and non-experts will unlikely ever use it in the non-fixed
interval mode anyway, so I think it is OK to remove the 1ms delay.

tools/power turbostat: read from pipes too
Commit '47936f944e78 tools/power turbostat: fix printing on input' make
a valid fix, but it completely disabled piped stdin support, which is
a valuable use-case. Indeed, if stdin is a pipe, turbostat won't read
anything from it, so it becomes impossible to get turbostat output at
user-defined moments, instead of the regular intervals.
There is no reason why this should works for terminals, but not for
pipes. This patch improves the situation. Instead of ignoring pipes, we
read data from them but gracefully handle the EOF case.
turbostat could be terminated by general protection fault on some latest
hardwares which (for example) support 9 levels of C-states and show 18
"tADDED" lines. That bloats the total output and finally causes buffer
overrun. So let's extend the buffer to avoid this.

tools/power turbostat: Make interval calculation per thread to reduce jitter
Turbostat currently normalizes TSC and other values by dividing by an
interval. This interval is the delta between the start of one global
(all counters on all CPUs) sampling and the start of another. However,
this introduces a lot of jitter into the data.
In order to reduce jitter, the interval calculation should be based on
timestamps taken per thread and close to the start of the thread's
sampling.
Define a per thread time value to hold the delta between samples taken
on the thread.
Use the timestamp taken at the beginning of sampling to calculate the
delta.
Move the thread's beginning timestamp to after the CPU migration to
avoid jitter due to the migration.
Use the global time delta for the average time delta.
The -w argument in x86_energy_perf_policy currently triggers an
unconditional segfault.
This is because the argument string reads: "+a:c:dD:E:e:f:m:M:rt:u:vw" and
yet the argument handler expects an argument.
When parse_optarg_string is called with a null argument, we then proceed to
crash in strncmp, not horribly friendly.
The man page describes -w as taking an argument, the long form
(--hwp-window) is correctly marked as taking a required argument, and the
code expects it.
As such, this patch simply marks the short form (-w) as requiring an
argument.

tools/power x86_energy_perf_policy: Fix "uninitialized variable" warnings at -O2
x86_energy_perf_policy first uses __get_cpuid() to check the maximum
CPUID level and exits if it is too low. It then assumes that later
calls will succeed (which I think is architecturally guaranteed). It
also assumes that CPUID works at all (which is not guaranteed on
x86_32).
If optimisations are enabled, gcc warns about potentially
uninitialized variables. Fix this by adding an exit-on-error after
every call to __get_cpuid() instead of just checking the maximum
level.
