This patch implements 64 bit counter support for IBS. The sampling period is no longer limited to the hw counter width. The functions perf_event_set_period() and perf_event_try_update() can be used as generic functions. They can replace similar code that is duplicate across architectures.

It turned out that a performance counter on AMD does not count at all when the GO or HO bit is set in the control register and SVM is disabled in EFER. This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit in the performance counter control register when SVM is not enabled. The GO bit is not touched because it is only set when the user wants to count in guest-mode only. So when SVM is disabled the counter should not run at all and the not-counting is the intended behaviour.

Put the logic to compute the event index into a per pmu method. This is required because the x86 rules are weird and wonderful and don't match the capabilities of the current scheme. AFAIK only powerpc actually has a usable userspace read of the PMCs but I'm not at all sure anybody actually used that. ARM is restored to the default since it currently does not support userspace access at all. And all software events are provided with a method that reports their index as 0 (disabled).

Intel does not have guest/host-only bit in perf counters like AMD does. To support GO/HO bits KVM needs to switch EVENTSELn values (or PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL if available) at a guest entry. If a counter is configured to count only in a guest mode it stays disabled in a host, but VMX is configured to switch it to enabled value during guest entry. This patch adds GO/HO tracking to Intel perf code and provides interface for KVM to get a list of MSRs that need to be switched on a guest entry. Only cpus with architectural PMU (v1 or later) are supported with this patch. To my knowledge there is not p6 models with VMX but without architectural PMU and p4 with VMX are rare and the interface is general enough to support them if need arise.

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot, some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall). The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall() and expects the hardware pmu to be present. Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit initcall right after that.

The netburst PMU is way different from the "architectural perfomance monitoring" specification that current CPUs use. P4 uses a tuple of ESCR+CCCR+COUNTER MSR registers to handle perfomance monitoring events. A few implementational details: 1) We need a separate x86_pmu::hw_config helper in struct x86_pmu since register bit-fields are quite different from P6, Core and later cpu series. 2) For the same reason is a x86_pmu::schedule_events helper introduced. 3) hw_perf_event::config consists of packed ESCR+CCCR values. It's allowed since in reality both registers only use a half of their size. Of course before making a real write into a particular MSR we need to unpack the value and extend it to a proper size. 4) The tuple of packed ESCR+CCCR in hw_perf_event::config doesn't describe the memory address of ESCR MSR register so that we need to keep a mapping between these tuples used and available ESCR (various P4 events may use same ESCRs but not simultaneously), for this sake every active event has a per-cpu map of hw_perf_event::idx <--> ESCR addresses. 5) Since hw_perf_event::idx is an offset to counter/control register we need to lift X86_PMC_MAX_GENERIC up, otherwise kernel strips it down to 8 registers and event armed may never be turned off (ie the bit in active_mask is set but the loop never reaches this index to check), thanks to Peter Zijlstra Restrictions: - No cascaded counters support (do we ever need them?) - No dependent events support (so PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS doesn't work for now) - There are events with same counters which can't work simultaneously (need to use intersected ones due to broken counter 1) - No PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_ events yet Todo: - Implement dependent events - Need proper hashing for event opcodes (no linear search, good for debugging stage but not in real loads) - Some events counted during a clock cycle -- need to set threshold for them and count every clock cycle just to get summary statistics (ie to behave the same way as other PMUs do) - Need to swicth to use event_constraints - To support RAW events we need to encode a global list of P4 events into p4_templates - Cache events need to be added Event support status matrix: Event status ----------------------------- cycles works cache-references works cache-misses works branch-misses works bus-cycles partially (does not work on 64bit cpu with HT enabled) instruction doesnt work (needs dependent event [mop tagging]) branches doesnt work Signed-off-by: NCyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: NLin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <20100311165439.GB5129@lenovo> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Use the LBR to fix up the PEBS IP+1 issue. As said, PEBS reports the next instruction, here we use the LBR to find the last branch and from that construct the actual IP. If the IP matches the LBR-TO, we use LBR-FROM, otherwise we use the LBR-TO address as the beginning of the last basic block and decode forward. Once we find a match to the current IP, we use the previous location. This patch introduces a new ABI element: PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT, which conveys that the reported IP (PERF_SAMPLE_IP) is the exact instruction that caused the event (barring CPU errata). The fixup can fail due to various reasons: 1) LBR contains invalid data (quite possible) 2) part of the basic block got paged out 3) the reported IP isn't part of the basic block (see 1) Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: "Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: eranian@google.com Cc: robert.richter@amd.com Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com LKML-Reference: <20100304140100.619375431@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group. The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e., works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any counter. Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic. The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open(). The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: NArjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

At present, every architecture that supports perf_counters has to declare set_perf_counter_pending() in its arch-specific headers. This consolidates the declarations into a single declaration in one common place, include/linux/perf_counter.h. On powerpc, we continue to provide a static inline definition of set_perf_counter_pending() in the powerpc hw_irq.h. Also, this removes from the x86 perf_counter.h the unused null definitions of {test,clear}_perf_counter_pending.

Always use NMI for performance-monitoring interrupt as there could be racy situations if we switch between irq and nmi mode frequently. Signed-off-by: NYong Wang <yong.y.wang@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <20090529052835.GA13657@ywang-moblin2.bj.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Implement set_perf_counter_pending() with a self-IPI so that it will run ASAP in a usable context. For now use a second IRQ vector, because the primary vector pokes the apic in funny ways that seem to confuse things.

While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on them. This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this issue. Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based single link list implementation to track counters that have pending wakeups. [ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the network wakeups. ] Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the wakeup. The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be sufficient.

Impact: build fix for powerpc Commit bd753921015e7905 ("perf_counter: software counter event infrastructure") introduced a use of TIF_PERF_COUNTERS into the core perfcounter code. This breaks the build on powerpc because we use a flag in a per-cpu area to signal wakeups on powerpc rather than a thread_info flag, because the thread_info flags have to be manipulated with atomic operations and are thus slower than per-cpu flags. This fixes the by changing the core to use an abstracted set_perf_counter_pending() function, which is defined on x86 to set the TIF_PERF_COUNTERS flag and on powerpc to set the per-cpu flag (paca->perf_counter_pending). It changes the previous powerpc definition of set_perf_counter_pending to not take an argument and adds a clear_perf_counter_pending, so as to simplify the definition on x86. On x86, set_perf_counter_pending() is defined as a macro. Defining it as a static inline in arch/x86/include/asm/perf_counters.h causes compile failures because <asm/perf_counters.h> gets included early in <linux/sched.h>, and the definitions of set_tsk_thread_flag etc. are therefore not available in <asm/perf_counters.h>. (On powerpc this problem is avoided by defining set_perf_counter_pending etc. in <asm/hw_irq.h>.) Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Impact: extend performance counter support on x86 Intel CPUs Modern Intel CPUs have 3 "fixed-function" performance counters, which count these hardware events: Instr_Retired.Any CPU_CLK_Unhalted.Core CPU_CLK_Unhalted.Ref Add support for them to the performance counters subsystem. Their use is transparent to user-space: the counter scheduler is extended to automatically recognize the cases where a fixed-function PMC can be utilized instead of a generic PMC. In such cases the generic PMC is kept available for more counters. The above fixed-function events map to these generic counter hw events: PERF_COUNT_INSTRUCTIONS PERF_COUNT_CPU_CYCLES PERF_COUNT_BUS_CYCLES (The 'bus' cycles are in reality often CPU-ish cycles, just with a fixed frequency.)
