[ Upstream commit 25412c0364 ]
Currently the perf tool doesn't detect support for extended event types
on Apple M1/M2 systems, and will not auto-expand plain PERF_EVENT_TYPE
hardware events into per-PMU events. This is due to the detection of
extended event types not handling mandatory filters required by the
M1/M2 PMU driver.
PMU drivers and the core perf_events code can require that
perf_event_attr::exclude_* filters are configured in a specific way and
may reject certain configurations of filters, for example:
(a) Many PMUs lack support for any event filtering, and require all
perf_event_attr::exclude_* bits to be clear. This includes Alpha's
CPU PMU, and ARM CPU PMUs prior to the introduction of PMUv2 in
ARMv7,
(b) When /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid >= 2, the perf core
requires that perf_event_attr::exclude_kernel is set.
(c) The Apple M1/M2 PMU requires that perf_event_attr::exclude_guest is
set as the hardware PMU does not count while a guest is running (but
might be extended in future to do so).
In is_event_supported(), we try to account for cases (a) and (b), first
attempting to open an event without any filters, and if this fails,
retrying with perf_event_attr::exclude_kernel set. We do not account for
case (c), or any other filters that drivers could theoretically require
to be set.
Thus is_event_supported() will fail to detect support for any events
targeting an Apple M1/M2 PMU, even where events would be supported with
perf_event_attr:::exclude_guest set.
Since commit:
82fe2e45cd ("perf pmus: Check if we can encode the PMU number in perf_event_attr.type")
... we use is_event_supported() to detect support for extended types,
with the PMU ID encoded into the perf_event_attr::type. As above, on an
Apple M1/M2 system this will always fail to detect that the event is
supported, and consequently we fail to detect support for extended types
even when these are supported, as they have been since commit:
5c81672865 ("arm_pmu: Add PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_HW_TYPE capability")
Due to this, the perf tool will not automatically expand plain
PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE events into per-PMU events, even when all the
necessary kernel support is present.
This patch updates is_event_supported() to additionally try opening
events with perf_event_attr::exclude_guest set, allowing support for
events to be detected on Apple M1/M2 systems. I believe that this is
sufficient for all contemporary CPU PMU drivers, though in future it may
be necessary to check for other combinations of filter bits.
I've deliberately changed the check to not expect a specific error code
for missing filters, as today ;the kernel may return a number of
different error codes for missing filters (e.g. -EACCESS, -EINVAL, or
-EOPNOTSUPP) depending on why and where the filter configuration is
rejected, and retrying for any error is more robust.
Note that this does not remove the need for commit:
a24d9d9dc0 ("perf parse-events: Make legacy events lower priority than sysfs/JSON")
... which is still necessary so that named-pmu/event/ events work on
kernels without extended type support, even if the event name happens to
be the same as a PERF_EVENT_TYPE_HARDWARE event (e.g. as is the case for
the M1/M2 PMU's 'cycles' and 'instructions' events).

[ Upstream commit 24852ef2e2 ]
The msr PMU is a software one, meaning msr events may be grouped
with events in a hardware context. As the msr PMU isn't marked as a
software PMU by perf_pmu__is_software, groups with the msr PMU in
are broken and the msr events placed in a different group. This
may lead to multiplexing errors where a hardware event isn't
counted while the msr event, such as tsc, is. Fix all of this by
marking the msr PMU as software, which agrees with the driver.

It's hard to distinguish the default cycles events among hybrid PMUs.
For example,
$ perf top
Available samples
385 cycles:P
903 cycles:P
The other tool, e.g., perf record, uniforms the event name and adds the
hybrid PMU name before opening the event. So the events can be easily
distinguished. Apply the same methodology for the perf top as well.
The evlist__uniquify_name() will be invoked by both record and top.
Move it to util/evlist.c
With the patch:

This is because when re-opening the file and parsing the header, Perf
expects that any file that has more than one event has the sample ID
flag set. Perf record already sets the flag in a similar way when there
is more than one event, so add the same logic to evlist__new_default().
evlist__new_default() is only currently used in tests, so I don't
expect this change to have any other side effects. The other tests that
use it don't save and re-open the file so don't hit this issue.

Raw events can be strings like 'r0xead' but the 0x is optional so they
can also be 'read'. On IcelakeX uncore_imc_free_running has an event
called 'read' which may be programmed as:
```
$ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1
```
However, the PE_RAW type isn't allowed on the right of a term, even
though in this case we just want to interpret it as a string. This
leads to the following error on IcelakeX:
```

Fix this by allowing raw types on the right of terms and treat them as
strings, just as is already done for PE_LEGACY_CACHE. Make this
consistent by just entirely removing name_or_legacy and always using
name_or_raw that covers all three cases.

[ Upstream commit f9cdeb58a9 ]
Dummy events are created with an attribute where the period and freq
are zero. evsel__config will then see the uninitialized values and
initialize them in evsel__default_freq_period. As fequency mode is
used by default the dummy event would be set to use frequency
mode. However, this has no effect on the dummy event but does cause
unnecessary timers/interrupts. Avoid this overhead by setting the
period to 1 for dummy events.
evlist__add_aux_dummy calls evlist__add_dummy then sets freq=0 and
period=1. This isn't necessary after this change and so the setting is
removed.
From Stephane:
The dummy event is not counting anything. It is used to collect mmap
records and avoid a race condition during the synthesize mmap phase of
perf record. As such, it should not cause any overhead during active
profiling. Yet, it did. Because of a bug the dummy event was
programmed as a sampling event in frequency mode. Events in that mode
incur more kernel overheads because on timer tick, the kernel has to
look at the number of samples for each event and potentially adjust
the sampling period to achieve the desired frequency. The dummy event
was therefore adding a frequency event to task and ctx contexts we may
otherwise not have any, e.g.,
perf record -a -e cpu/event=0x3c,period=10000000/.
On each timer tick the perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context() is invoked and
if ctx->nr_freq is non-zero, then the kernel will loop over ALL the
events of the context looking for frequency mode ones. In doing, so it
locks the context, and enable/disable the PMU of each hw event. If all
the events of the context are in period mode, the kernel will have to
traverse the list for nothing incurring overhead. The overhead is
multiplied by a very large factor when this happens in a guest kernel.
There is no need for the dummy event to be in frequency mode, it does
not count anything and therefore should not cause extra overhead for
no reason.

The perf_pmu__parse_* functions for the sysfs files of pmu event’s
scale, unit, per-pkg and snapshot were updated in commit 7b723dbb96
("perf pmu: Be lazy about loading event info files from sysfs").
However, the paths for these sysfs files were incorrect. This resulted
in perf stat reporting values with wrong scaling and missing units. This
is fixed by correcting the paths for these sysfs files.

That don't entail any changes in tools/perf.
This addresses this perf build warning:
Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"perf tools maintainership:
- Add git information for perf-tools and perf-tools-next trees and
branches to the MAINTAINERS file. That is where development now
takes place and myself and Namhyung Kim have write access, more
people to come as we emulate other maintainer groups.
perf record:
- Record kernel data maps when 'perf record --data' is used, so that
global variables can be resolved and used in tools that do data
profiling.
perf trace:
- Remove the old, experimental support for BPF events in which a .c
file was passed as an event: "perf trace -e hello.c" to then get
compiled and loaded.
The only known usage for that, that shipped with the kernel as an
example for such events, augmented the raw_syscalls tracepoints and
was converted to a libbpf skeleton, reusing all the user space
components and the BPF code connected to the syscalls.
In the end just the way to glue the BPF part and the user space
type beautifiers changed, now being performed by libbpf skeletons.
The next step is to use BTF to do pretty printing of all syscall
types, as discussed with Alan Maguire and others.
Now, on a perf built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 we get most if not all
path/filenames/strings, some of the networking data structures,
perf_event_attr, etc, i.e. systemwide tracing of nanosleep calls
and perf_event_open syscalls while 'perf stat' runs 'sleep' for 5

perf annotate:
- Building with binutils' libopcode now is opt-in (BUILD_NONDISTRO=1)
for licensing reasons, and we missed a build test on
tools/perf/tests makefile.
Since we now default to NDEBUG=1, we ended up segfaulting when
building with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 because a needed initialization
routine was being "error checked" via an assert.
Fix it by explicitly checking the result and aborting instead if it
fails.
We better back propagate the error, but at least 'perf annotate' on
samples collected for a BPF program is back working when perf is
built with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1.
perf report/top:
- Add back TUI hierarchy mode header, that is seen when using 'perf
report/top --hierarchy'.
- Fix the number of entries for 'e' key in the TUI that was
preventing navigation of lines when expanding an entry.
perf report/script:
- Support cross platform register handling, allowing a perf.data file
collected on one architecture to have registers sampled correctly
displayed when analysis tools such as 'perf report' and 'perf
script' are used on a different architecture.
- Fix handling of event attributes in pipe mode, i.e. when one uses:
perf record -o - | perf report -i -
When no perf.data files are used.
- Handle files generated via pipe mode with a version of perf and
then read also via pipe mode with a different version of perf,
where the event attr record may have changed, use the record size
field to properly support this version mismatch.
perf probe:
- Accessing global variables from uprobes isn't supported, make the
error message state that instead of stating that some minimal
kernel version is needed to have that feature. This seems just a
tool limitation, the kernel probably has all that is needed.
perf tests:
- Fix a reference count related leak in the dlfilter v0 API where the
result of a thread__find_symbol_fb() is not matched with an
addr_location__exit() to drop the reference counts of the resolved
components (machine, thread, map, symbol, etc). Add a dlfilter test
to make sure that doesn't regresses.
- Lots of fixes for the 'perf test' written in shell script related
to problems found with the shellcheck utility.
- Fixes for 'perf test' shell scripts testing features enabled when
perf is built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1, such as 'perf stat' bpf
counters.
- Add perf record sample filtering test, things like the following
example, that gets implemented as a BPF filter attached to the
event:
# perf record -e task-clock -c 10000 --filter 'ip < 0xffffffff00000000'
- Improve the way the task_analyzer test checks if libtraceevent is
linked, using 'perf version --build-options' instead of the more
expensinve 'perf record -e "sched:sched_switch"'.
- Add support for riscv in the mmap-basic test. (This went as well
via the RiscV tree, same contents).
libperf:
- Implement riscv mmap support (This went as well via the RiscV tree,
same contents).
perf script:
- New tool that converts perf.data files to the firefox profiler
format so that one can use the visualizer at
https://profiler.firefox.com/. Done by Anup Sharma as part of this
year's Google Summer of Code.
One can generate the output and upload it to the web interface but
Anup also automated everything:
perf script gecko -F 99 -a sleep 60
- Support syscall name parsing on arm64.
- Print "cgroup" field on the same line as "comm".
perf bench:
- Add new 'uprobe' benchmark to measure the overhead of uprobes
with/without BPF programs attached to it.
- breakpoints are not available on power9, skip that test.
perf stat:
- Add #num_cpus_online literal to be used in 'perf stat' metrics, and
add this extra 'perf test' check that exemplifies its purpose:
TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus_online",
expr__parse(&num_cpus_online, ctx, "#num_cpus_online") == 0);
TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus", expr__parse(&num_cpus, ctx, "#num_cpus") == 0);
TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus >= #num_cpus_online", num_cpus >= num_cpus_online);
Miscellaneous:
- Improve tool startup time by lazily reading PMU, JSON, sysfs data.
- Improve error reporting in the parsing of events, passing YYLTYPE
to error routines, so that the output can show were the parsing
error was found.
- Add 'perf test' entries to check the parsing of events
improvements.
- Fix various leak for things detected by -fsanitize=address, mostly
things that would be freed at tool exit, including:
- Free evsel->filter on the destructor.
- Allow tools to register a thread->priv destructor and use it in
'perf trace'.
- Free evsel->priv in 'perf trace'.
- Free string returned by synthesize_perf_probe_point() when the
caller fails to do all it needs.
- Adjust various compiler options to not consider errors some
warnings when building with broken headers found in things like
python, flex, bison, as we otherwise build with -Werror. Some for
gcc, some for clang, some for some specific version of those, some
for some specific version of flex or bison, or some specific
combination of these components, bah.
- Allow customization of clang options for BPF target, this helps
building on gentoo where there are other oddities where BPF targets
gets passed some compiler options intended for the native build, so
building with WERROR=0 helps while these oddities are fixed.
- Dont pass ERR_PTR() values to perf_session__delete() in 'perf top'
and 'perf lock', fixing some segfaults when handling some odd
failures.
- Add LTO build option.
- Fix format of unordered lists in the perf docs
(tools/perf/Documentation)
- Overhaul the bison files, using constructs such as YYNOMEM.
- Remove unused tokens from the bison .y files.
- Add more comments to various structs.
- A few LoongArch enablement patches.
Vendor events (JSON):
- Add JSON metrics for Yitian 710 DDR (aarch64). Things like:
EventName, BriefDescription
visible_window_limit_reached_rd, "At least one entry in read queue reaches the visible window limit.",
visible_window_limit_reached_wr, "At least one entry in write queue reaches the visible window limit.",
op_is_dqsosc_mpc , "A DQS Oscillator MPC command to DRAM.",
op_is_dqsosc_mrr , "A DQS Oscillator MRR command to DRAM.",
op_is_tcr_mrr , "A Temperature Compensated Refresh(TCR) MRR command to DRAM.",
- Add AmpereOne metrics (aarch64).
- Update N2 and V2 metrics (aarch64) and events using Arm telemetry
repo.
- Update scale units and descriptions of common topdown metrics on
aarch64. Things like:
- "MetricExpr": "stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles)",
- "BriefDescription": "Frontend bound L1 topdown metric",
+ "MetricExpr": "100 * (stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles))",
+ "BriefDescription": "This metric is the percentage of total slots that were stalled due to resource constraints in the frontend of the processor.",
- Update events for intel: meteorlake to 1.04, sapphirerapids to
1.15, Icelake+ metric constraints.
- Update files for the power10 platform"

The no_value field in 'struct parse_events_term' indicates that the val
variable isn't used, the case for an event name.
Cloning wasn't propagating this, making cloned event name terms
appearing to have a constant assinged to them.
Working around the bug would check for a value of 1 assigned to value,
but then this meant a user value of 1 couldn't be differentiated causing
the value to be lost in debug printing and perf list.
The change fixes the cloning and updates the "val.num ==/!= 1" tests to
use no_value instead.
To better check the no_value is set appropriately parameter comments are
added for constant values.
This found that no_value wasn't set correctly in parse_events_multi_pmu_add,
which matters now that no_value is used to indicate an event name.

A term list is turned into a string for debug output and for the str
value in the alias.
Add a helper to do this based on existing code, but then fix for
situations like events being identified.
Use strbuf to manage the dynamic memory allocation and remove the 256
byte limit.
Use in various places the string of the term list is required.
