      perf, x86: Update/fix Intel Nehalem cache events · f4929bd3
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Change the Nehalem cache events to use retired memory instruction counters
      (similar to Westmere), this greatly improves the provided stats.
      
      Using:
      
      main ()
      {
              int i;
      
              for (i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++) {
                      asm("mov (%%rsp), %%rbx;"
                          "mov %%rbx, (%%rsp);" : : : "rbx");
              }
      }
      
      We find:
      
       $ perf stat --repeat 10 -e instructions:u -e l1-dcache-loads:u -e l1-dcache-stores:u ./loop_1b_loads+stores
        Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_loads+stores' (10 runs):
            4,000,081,056 instructions:u           #      0.000 IPC ( +-   0.000% )
            4,999,502,846 l1-dcache-loads:u          ( +-   0.008% )
            1,000,034,832 l1-dcache-stores:u         ( +-   0.000% )
               1.565184942  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   0.005% )
      
      The 5b is surprising - we'd expect 1b:
      
       $ perf stat --repeat 10 -e instructions:u -e r10b:u -e l1-dcache-stores:u ./loop_1b_loads+stores
        Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_loads+stores' (10 runs):
            4,000,081,054 instructions:u           #      0.000 IPC ( +-   0.000% )
            1,000,021,961 r10b:u                     ( +-   0.000% )
            1,000,030,951 l1-dcache-stores:u         ( +-   0.000% )
               1.565055422  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   0.003% )
      
      Which this patch thus fixes.

      perf, x86: P4 PMU - Don't forget to clear cpuc->active_mask on overflow · 1ea5a6af
      Cyrill Gorcunov 提交于
      It's not enough to simply disable event on overflow the
      cpuc->active_mask should be cleared as well otherwise counter
      may stall in "active" even in real being already disabled (which
      potentially may lead to the situation that user may not use this
      counter further).
      
      Don pointed out that:
      
       " I also noticed this patch fixed some unknown NMIs
         on a P4 when I stressed the box".
