      perf/x86/intel/ds: Handle PEBS overflow for fixed counters · ec71a398
      由 Kan Liang 提交于 
      The pebs_drain() need to support fixed counters. The DS Save Area now
include "counter reset value" fields for each fixed counters.

Extend the related variables (e.g. mask, counters, error) to support
fixed counters. There is no extended PEBS in PEBS v2 and earlier PEBS
format. Only need to change the code for PEBS v3 and later PEBS format.

Extend the pebs_event_reset[] logic to support new "counter reset value" fields.

Increase the reserve space for fixed counters.

      perf/x86/intel: Support PEBS on fixed counters · 4f08b625
      由 Kan Liang 提交于 
      The Extended PEBS feature supports PEBS on fixed-function performance
counters as well as all four general purpose counters.

It has to change the order of PEBS and fixed counter enabling to make
sure PEBS is enabled for the fixed counters.

The change of the order doesn't impact the behavior of current code on
other platforms which don't support extended PEBS.
Because there is no dependency among those enable/disable functions.

Don't enable IRQ generation (0x8) for MSR_ARCH_PERFMON_FIXED_CTR_CTRL.
The PEBS ucode will handle the interrupt generation.

      perf/x86/intel: Fix unwind errors from PEBS entries (mk-II) · 6cbc304f
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Vince reported the perf_fuzzer giving various unwinder warnings and
Josh reported:

> Deja vu.  Most of these are related to perf PEBS, similar to the

And where the previous unwinder only needed BP,SP ORC also requires
IP. But we cannot spoof IP because then the sample will get displaced,
entirely negating the point of PEBS.

So cure the whole thing differently by doing the unwind early; this
does however require a means to communicate we did the unwind early.
We (ab)use an unused sample_type bit for this, which we set on events
that fill out the data->callchain before the normal
perf_prepare_sample().

      perf/x86/intel: Add proper condition to run sched_task callbacks · df6c3db8
      由 Jiri Olsa 提交于 
      We have 2 functions using the same sched_task callback:

  - PEBS drain for free running counters
  - LBR save/store

Both of them are called from intel_pmu_sched_task() and
either of them can be unwillingly triggered when the
other one is configured to run.

Let's say there's PEBS drain configured in sched_task
callback for the event, but in the callback itself
(intel_pmu_sched_task()) we will also run the code for
LBR save/restore, which we did not ask for, but the
code in intel_pmu_sched_task() does not check for that.

This can lead to extra cycles in some perf monitoring,
like when we monitor PEBS event without LBR data.

  # perf record --no-timestamp -c 10000 -e cycles:p ./perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000

  (We need PEBS, non freq/non timestamp event to enable
   the sched_task callback)

The perf stat of cycles and msr:write_msr for above
command before the change:
  ...
  Performance counter stats for './perf record --no-timestamp -c 10000 -e cycles:p \
                                 ./perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000' (5 runs):

    18,519,557,441      cycles:k
        91,195,527      msr:write_msr

      29.334476406 seconds time elapsed

And after the change:
  ...
  Performance counter stats for './perf record --no-timestamp -c 10000 -e cycles:p \
                                 ./perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000' (5 runs):

    18,704,973,540      cycles:k
        27,184,720      msr:write_msr

      16.977875900 seconds time elapsed

There's no affect on cycles:k because the sched_task happens
with events switched off, however the msr:write_msr tracepoint
counter together with almost 50% of time speedup show the
improvement.

Monitoring LBR event and having extra PEBS drain processing
in sched_task callback showed just a little speedup, because
the drain function does not do much extra work in case there
is no PEBS data.

Adding conditions to recognize the configured work that needs
to be done in the x86_pmu's sched_task callback.

      perf/x86: Add sysfs entry to freeze counters on SMI · 6089327f
      由 Kan Liang 提交于 
      Currently, the SMIs are visible to all performance counters, because
many users want to measure everything including SMIs. But in some
cases, the SMI cycles should not be counted - for example, to calculate
the cost of an SMI itself. So a knob is needed.

When setting FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit in IA32_DEBUGCTL, all performance
counters will be effected. There is no way to do per-counter freeze
on SMI. So it should not use the per-event interface (e.g. ioctl or
event attribute) to set FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit.

Adds sysfs entry /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi to set FREEZE_WHILE_SMM
bit in IA32_DEBUGCTL. When set, freezes perfmon and trace messages
while in SMM.

Value has to be 0 or 1. It will be applied to all processors.

Also serialize the entire setting so we don't get multiple concurrent
threads trying to update to different values.

      perf/x86: Fix spurious NMI with PEBS Load Latency event · fd583ad1
      由 Kan Liang 提交于 
      Spurious NMIs will be observed with the following command:

  while :; do
    perf record -bae "cpu/umask=0x01,event=0xcd,ldlat=0x80/pp"
                  -e "cpu/umask=0x03,event=0x0/"
                  -e "cpu/umask=0x02,event=0x0/"
                  -e cycles,branches,cache-misses
                  -e cache-references -- sleep 10
  done

The bug was introduced by commit:

  8077eca0 ("perf/x86/pebs: Add workaround for broken OVFL status on HSW+")

That commit clears the status bits for the counters used for PEBS
events, by masking the whole 64 bits pebs_enabled. However, only the
low 32 bits of both status and pebs_enabled are reserved for PEBS-able
counters.

For status bits 32-34 are fixed counter overflow bits. For
pebs_enabled bits 32-34 are for PEBS Load Latency.

In the test case, the PEBS Load Latency event and fixed counter event
could overflow at the same time. The fixed counter overflow bit will
be cleared by mistake. Once it is cleared, the fixed counter overflow
never be processed, which finally trigger spurious NMI.

Correct the PEBS enabled mask by ignoring the non-PEBS bits.

      perf/x86/intel: Handle exclusive threadid correctly on CPU hotplug · 4e71de79
      由 Zhou Chengming 提交于 
      The CPU hotplug function intel_pmu_cpu_starting() sets
cpu_hw_events.excl_thread_id unconditionally to 1 when the shared exclusive
counters data structure is already availabe for the sibling thread.

This works during the boot process because the first sibling gets threadid
0 assigned and the second sibling which shares the data structure gets 1.

But when the first thread of the core is offlined and onlined again it
shares the data structure with the second thread and gets exclusive thread
id 1 assigned as well.

Prevent this by checking the threadid of the already online thread.

      perf/x86/pebs: Fix handling of PEBS buffer overflows · daa864b8
      由 Stephane Eranian 提交于 
      This patch solves a race condition between PEBS and the PMU handler.

In case multiple PEBS events are sampled at the same time,
it is possible to have GLOBAL_STATUS bit 62 set indicating
PEBS buffer overflow and also seeing at most 3 PEBS counters
having their bits set in the status register. This is a sign
that there was at least one PEBS record pending at the time
of the PMU interrupt. PEBS counters must only be processed
via the drain_pebs() calls, and not via the regular sample
processing loop coming after that the function, otherwise
phony regular samples may be generated in the sampling buffer
not marked with the EXACT tag.

Another possibility is to have one PEBS event and at least
one non-PEBS event whic hoverflows while PEBS has armed. In this
case, bit 62 of GLOBAL_STATUS will not be set, yet the overflow
status bit for the PEBS counter will be on Skylake.

To avoid this problem, we systematically ignore the PEBS-enabled
counters from the GLOBAL_STATUS mask and we always process PEBS
events via drain_pebs().

The problem manifested itself by having non-exact samples when
sampling only PEBS events, i.e., the PERF_SAMPLE_RECORD would
not have the EXACT flag set.

Note that this problem is only present on Skylake processor.
This fix is harmless on older processors.

      perf/x86: Fix full width counter, counter overflow · 7f612a7f
      由 Peter Zijlstra (Intel) 提交于 
      Lukasz reported that perf stat counters overflow handling is broken on KNL/SLM.

Both these parts have full_width_write set, and that does indeed have
a problem. In order to deal with counter wrap, we must sample the
counter at at least half the counter period (see also the sampling
theorem) such that we can unambiguously reconstruct the count.

However commit:

  069e0c3c ("perf/x86/intel: Support full width counting")

sets the sampling interval to the full period, not half.

Fixing that exposes another issue, in that we must not sign extend the
delta value when we shift it right; the counter cannot have
decremented after all.

With both these issues fixed, counter overflow functions correctly
again.

      perf/x86/intel: Honour the CPUID for number of fixed counters in hypervisors · f92b7604
      由 Imre Palik 提交于 
      perf doesn't seem to honour the number of fixed counters specified by CPUID
leaf 0xa. It always assumes that Intel CPUs have at least 3 fixed counters.

So if some of the fixed counters are masked out by the hypervisor, it still
tries to check/set them.

This patch makes perf behave nicer when the kernel is running under a
hypervisor that doesn't expose all the counters.

This patch contains some ideas from Matt Wilson.

      由 Stephane Eranian 提交于 
      This patch updates the event constraints for non-PEBS mode for
Intel Broadwell and Skylake processors. When HT is off, each
CPU gets 8 generic counters. However, not all events can be
programmed on any of the 8 counters.  This patch adds the
constraints for the MEM_* events which can only be measured on the
bottom 4 counters. The constraints are also valid when HT is off
because, then, there are only 4 generic counters and they are the
bottom counters.

      perf/x86/intel: Fix MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x bug when no TSX · 19fc9ddd
      由 David Carrillo-Cisneros 提交于 
      Intel's SDM states that bits 61:62 in MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x are the
TSX flags for formats with LBR_TSX flags (i.e. LBR_FORMAT_EIP_EFLAGS2).

However, when the CPU has TSX support deactivated, bits 61:62 actually
behave as follows:

  - For wrmsr(), bits 61:62 are considered part of the sign extension.
  - When capturing branches, the LBR hw will always clear bits 61:62.
    regardless of the sign extension.

Therefore, if:

  1) LBR has TSX format.
  2) CPU has no TSX support enabled.

... then any value passed to wrmsr() must be sign extended to 63 bits
and any value from rdmsr() must be converted to have a sign extension
of 61 bits, ignoring the values at TSX flags.

This bug was masked by the work-around to the Intel's CPU bug:
BJ94. "LBR May Contain Incorrect Information When Using FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI"
in Document Number: 324643-037US.

The aforementioned work-around uses hw flags to filter out all kernel
branches, limiting LBR callstack to user level execution only.

Since user addresses are not sign extended, they do not trigger the wrmsr()
bug in MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x when saved/restored at context switch.

To verify the hw bug:

  $ perf record -b -e cycles sleep 1
  $ rdmsr -p 0 0x680
  0x1fffffffb0b9b0cc
  $ wrmsr -p 0 0x680 0x1fffffffb0b9b0cc
  write(): Input/output error

The quirk for LBR_FROM_ MSRs is required before calls to wrmsrl() and
after rdmsrl().

This patch introduces it for wrmsrl()'s done for testing LBR support.

Future patch in series adds the quirk for context switch, that would
be required if LBR callstack is to be enabled for ring 0.

      perf/x86/intel: Print LBR support statement after validation · f09509b9
      由 David Carrillo-Cisneros 提交于 
      The following commit:

  338b522c ("perf/x86/intel: Protect LBR and extra_regs against KVM lying")

added an additional test to LBR support detection that is performed after
printing the LBR support statement to dmesg.

Move the LBR support output after the very last test, to make sure we
print the true status of LBR support.

      perf/x86/intel: Use Intel family macros for core perf events · ef5f9f47
      由 Dave Hansen 提交于 
      Use the new model number macros instead of spelling things out
in the comments.

Note that this is missing a Nehalem model that is mentioned in
intel_idle which is fixed up in a later patch.

The resulting binary (arch/x86/events/intel/core.o) is exactly
the same with and without this patch modulo some harmless changes
to restoring %esi in the return path of functions, even those
untouched by this patch.
