      perf, x86: Implement initial P4 PMU driver · a072738e
      Cyrill Gorcunov 提交于
      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

      perf, x86: use LBR for PEBS IP+1 fixup · ef21f683
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      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)

      perf, x86: Add PEBS infrastructure · ca037701
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      This patch implements support for Intel Precise Event Based Sampling,
      which is an alternative counter mode in which the counter triggers a
      hardware assist to collect information on events. The hardware assist
      takes a trap like snapshot of a subset of the machine registers.
      
      This data is written to the Intel Debug-Store, which can be programmed
      with a data threshold at which to raise a PMI.
      
      With the PEBS hardware assist being trap like, the reported IP is always
      one instruction after the actual instruction that triggered the event.
      
      This implements a simple PEBS model that always takes a single PEBS event
      at a time. This is done so that the interaction with the rest of the
      system is as expected (freq adjust, period randomization, lbr,
      callchains, etc.).
      
      It adds an ABI element: perf_event_attr::precise, which indicates that we
      wish to use this (constrained, but precise) mode.
