      Complete the syscall-less self-profiling feature and address
      all complaints, namely:
      
       - capabilities, so we can detect what is actually available at runtime
      
           Add a capabilities field to perf_event_mmap_page to indicate
           what is actually available for use.
      
       - on x86: RDPMC weirdness due to being 40/48 bits and not sign-extending
         properly.
      
       - ABI documentation as to how all this stuff works.
      
      Also improve the documentation for the new features.

      perf: Add callback to flush branch_stack on context switch · d010b332
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      With branch stack sampling, it is possible to filter by priv levels.
      
      In system-wide mode, that means it is possible to capture only user
      level branches. The builtin SW LBR filter needs to disassemble code
      based on LBR captured addresses. For that, it needs to know the task
      the addresses are associated with. Because of context switches, the
      content of the branch stack buffer may contain addresses from
      different tasks.
      
      We need a callback on context switch to either flush the branch stack
      or save it. This patch adds a new callback in struct pmu which is called
      during context switches. The callback is called only when necessary.
      That is when a system-wide context has, at least, one event which
      uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK. The callback is never called for
      per-thread context.
      
      In this version, the Intel x86 code simply flushes (resets) the LBR
      on context switches (fills it with zeroes). Those zeroed branches are
      then filtered out by the SW filter.

      perf/x86: Sync branch stack sampling with precise_sampling · ff3fb511
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      If precise sampling is enabled on Intel x86 then perf_event uses PEBS.
      To correct for the off-by-one error of PEBS, perf_event uses LBR when
      precise_sample > 1.
      
      On Intel x86 PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK is implemented using LBR,
      therefore both features must be coordinated as they may not
      configure LBR the same way.
      
      For PEBS, LBR needs to capture all branches at the priv level of
      the associated event.
      
      This patch checks that the branch type and priv level of BRANCH_STACK
      is compatible with that of the PEBS LBR requirement, thereby allowing:
      
         $ perf record -b any,u -e instructions:upp ....
      
      But:
      
         $ perf record -b any_call,u -e instructions:upp
      
      Is not possible.

      perf/x86: Add Intel LBR sharing logic · b36817e8
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      The Intel LBR on some recent processor is capable
      of filtering branches by type. The filter is configurable
      via the LBR_SELECT MSR register.
      
      There are limitation on how this register can be used.
      
      On Nehalem/Westmere, the LBR_SELECT is shared by the two HT threads
      when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off.
      
      On SandyBridge, the LBR_SELECT register is private to each thread
      when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off.
      
      The kernel must manage the sharing of LBR_SELECT. It allows
      multiple users on the same logical CPU to use LBR_SELECT as
      long as they program it with the same value. Across sibling
      CPUs (HT threads), the same restriction applies on NHM/WSM.
      
      This patch implements this sharing logic by leveraging the
      mechanism put in place for managing the offcore_response
      shared MSR.
      
      We modify __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints() to cause
      x86_get_event_constraint() to be called because LBR may
      be associated with events that may be counter constrained.

      perf: Fix double start/stop in x86_pmu_start() · f39d47ff
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following
      commit:
      
              e050e3f0 ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")
      
      The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on
      the sampling frequency adjustments:
      
        ------------[ cut here ]------------
        WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4()
      
      It was caused by the following call sequence:
      
      perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() {
           stop()
           if (delta > 0) {
                perf_adjust_period() {
                    if (period > 8*...) {
                        stop()
                        ...
                        start()
                    }
                }
            }
            start()
      }
      
      Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering
      the assert in x86_pmu_start().
      
      The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We
      pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether
      or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the
      start/stop from that function because it's called from
      __perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a
      stop/start back-toback call.
      
      The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which
      was removed by commit:
      
      	84f2b9b2 ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()")
      
      In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU
      during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report
      of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

      perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE() · 84f2b9b2
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      With the new throttling/unthrottling code introduced with
      commit:
      
        e050e3f0 ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")
      
      we occasionally hit two WARN_ON_ONCE() checks in:
      
        - intel_pmu_pebs_enable()
        - intel_pmu_lbr_enable()
        - x86_pmu_start()
      
      The assertions are no longer problematic. There is a valid
      path where they can trigger but it is harmless.
      
      The assertion can be triggered with:
      
        $ perf record -e instructions:pp ....
      
      Leading to paths:
      
        intel_pmu_pebs_enable
        intel_pmu_enable_event
        x86_perf_event_set_period
        x86_pmu_start
        perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context
        perf_event_task_tick
        scheduler_tick
      
      And:
      
        intel_pmu_lbr_enable
        intel_pmu_enable_event
        x86_perf_event_set_period
        x86_pmu_start
        perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.
        perf_event_task_tick
        scheduler_tick
      
      cpuc->enabled is always on because when we get to
      perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context() the PMU is not totally
      disabled. Furthermore when we need to adjust a period,
      we only stop the event we need to change and not the
      entire PMU. Thus, when we re-enable, cpuc->enabled is
      already set. Note that when we stop the event, both
      pebs and lbr are stopped if necessary (and possible).

      perf, x86: Fix event scheduler for constraints with overlapping counters · bc1738f6
      Robert Richter 提交于
      The current x86 event scheduler fails to resolve scheduling problems
      of certain combinations of events and constraints. This happens if the
      counter mask of such an event is not a subset of any other counter
      mask of a constraint with an equal or higher weight, e.g. constraints
      of the AMD family 15h pmu:
      
                              counter mask    weight
      
       amd_f15_PMC30          0x09            2  <--- overlapping counters
       amd_f15_PMC20          0x07            3
       amd_f15_PMC53          0x38            3
      
      The scheduler does not find then an existing solution. Here is an
      example:
      
       event code     counter         failure         possible solution
      
       0x02E          PMC[3,0]        0               3
       0x043          PMC[2:0]        1               0
       0x045          PMC[2:0]        2               1
       0x046          PMC[2:0]        FAIL            2
      
      The event scheduler may not select the correct counter in the first
      cycle because it needs to know which subsequent events will be
      scheduled. It may fail to schedule the events then.
      
      To solve this, we now save the scheduler state of events with
      overlapping counter counstraints.  If we fail to schedule the events
      we rollback to those states and try to use another free counter.
      
      Constraints with overlapping counters are marked with a new introduced
      overlap flag. We set the overlap flag for such constraints to give the
      scheduler a hint which events to select for counter rescheduling. The
      EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP() macro can be used for this.
      
      Care must be taken as the rescheduling algorithm is O(n!) which will
      increase scheduling cycles for an over-commited system dramatically.
      The number of such EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP() macros and its counter
      masks must be kept at a minimum. Thus, the current stack is limited to
      2 states to limit the number of loops the algorithm takes in the worst
      case.
      
      On systems with no overlapping-counter constraints, this
      implementation does not increase the loop count compared to the
      previous algorithm.
      
      V2:
      * Renamed redo -> overlap.
      * Reimplementation using perf scheduling helper functions.
      
      V3:
      * Added WARN_ON_ONCE() if out of save states.

      This patch introduces x86 perf scheduler code helper functions. We

      The algorithm is modified so that the range of weight values is now

      changes.
      
      With the helper functions the scheduler is controlled. There are
      functions to initialize, traverse the event list, find unused counters
      etc. The scheduler keeps its own state.

      Cyrill Gorcunov 提交于
      Instead of hw_nmi_watchdog_set_attr() weak function
      and appropriate x86_pmu::hw_watchdog_set_attr() call
      we introduce even alias mechanism which allow us
      to drop this routines completely and isolate quirks
      of Netburst architecture inside P4 PMU code only.
      
      The main idea remains the same though -- to allow
      nmi-watchdog and perf top run simultaneously.
      
      Note the aliasing mechanism applies to generic
      PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES event only because arbitrary
      event (say passed as RAW initially) might have some
      additional bits set inside ESCR register changing
      the behaviour of event and we can't guarantee anymore
      that alias event will give the same result.
      
      P.S. Thanks a huge to Don and Steven for for testing
           and early review.
