<id>urn:sha1:0ffca606e902151fbe09d4356c493fe79ca93956</id>
<content type='text'>
On graniterapids the cache home agent (CHA) and memory controller
(IMC) PMUs all have their cpumask set to per-socket information. In
order for per NUMA node aggregation to work correctly the PMUs cpumask
needs to be set to CPUs for the relevant sub-NUMA grouping.

For example, on a 2 socket graniterapids machine with sub NUMA
clustering of 3, for uncore_cha and uncore_imc PMUs the cpumask is
"0,120" leading to aggregation only on NUMA nodes 0 and 3:
```
$ perf stat --per-node -e 'UNC_CHA_CLOCKTICKS,UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS' -a sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

N0        1    277,835,681,344      UNC_CHA_CLOCKTICKS
N0        1     19,242,894,228      UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS
N3        1    277,803,448,124      UNC_CHA_CLOCKTICKS
N3        1     19,240,741,498      UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS

       1.002113847 seconds time elapsed
```

By updating the PMUs cpumasks to "0,120", "40,160" and "80,200" then
the correctly 6 NUMA node aggregations are achieved:
```
$ perf stat --per-node -e 'UNC_CHA_CLOCKTICKS,UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS' -a sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

N0        1     92,748,667,796      UNC_CHA_CLOCKTICKS
N0        0      6,424,021,142      UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS
N1        0     92,753,504,424      UNC_CHA_CLOCKTICKS
N1        1      6,424,308,338      UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS
N2        0     92,751,170,084      UNC_CHA_CLOCKTICKS
N2        0      6,424,227,402      UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS
N3        1     92,745,944,144      UNC_CHA_CLOCKTICKS
N3        0      6,423,752,086      UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS
N4        0     92,725,793,788      UNC_CHA_CLOCKTICKS
N4        1      6,422,393,266      UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS
N5        0     92,717,504,388      UNC_CHA_CLOCKTICKS
N5        0      6,421,842,618      UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS

       1.003406645 seconds time elapsed
```

In general, having the perf tool adjust cpumasks isn't desirable as
ideally the PMU driver would be advertising the correct cpumask.

<title>perf test amd: Skip amd-ibs-period test on kernel &lt; v6.15</title>

<content type='text'>
Bunch of IBS kernel fixes went in v6.15-rc1 [1].

The amd-ibs-period test will fail without those kernel patches.

Skip the test on system running kernel older than v6.15 to distinguish
genuine new failures vs known failure due to old kernel.

Since all the related IBS fixes went in -rc1 itself, the "&gt;= 6.15" check
will work for any custom compiled v6.15-* kernel as well.

<title>perf intel-pt: Do not default to recording all switch events</title>

<id>urn:sha1:352b088164b5cde15e4d8a66dc8ba36c06f4416b</id>
<content type='text'>
On systems with many CPUs, recording extra context switch events can be
excessive and unnecessary. Add perf config intel-pt.all-switch-events=false
to control the behaviour.

Example:

 # perf config intel-pt.all-switch-events=false
 # perf record -eintel_pt//u uname
 Linux
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.082 MB perf.data ]
 # perf script -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SWITCH | awk '{print $5}' | uniq -c
       5 PERF_RECORD_SWITCH
 # perf config intel-pt.all-switch-events=true
 # perf record -eintel_pt//u uname
 Linux
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.102 MB perf.data ]
 # perf script -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SWITCH | awk '{print $5}' | uniq -c
     180 PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE

Committer testing:

While doing a make -j28 allmodconfig:

  root@five:~# grep "model name" -m1 /proc/cpuinfo
  model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700K
  root@five:~#
  root@five:~# perf config intel-pt.all-switch-events=false
  root@five:~# perf record -e intel_pt//u uname
  Linux
  [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.019 MB perf.data ]
  root@five:~# perf report --stats | grep SWITCH_CPU_WIDE
  root@five:~#
  root@five:~# perf config intel-pt.all-switch-events=true
  root@five:~# perf record -e intel_pt//u uname
  Linux
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.047 MB perf.data ]
  root@five:~# perf report --stats | grep SWITCH_CPU_WIDE
       SWITCH_CPU_WIDE events:        542  (96.4%)
  root@five:~#

IBS Fetch and IBS Op PMUs has various constraints on supported sample
periods. Add perf unit tests to test those.

Running it in parallel with other tests causes intermittent failures.
Mark it exclusive to force it to run sequentially. Sample output on a
Zen5 machine:

Without kernel fixes:

  $ sudo ./perf test -vv 112

  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 8774
  Using CPUID AuthenticAMD-26-2-1

Committer notes:

Avoid using PAGE_SIZE as that define is also in sys/user.h

Make it a variable not to call sysconf() multiple times.

Also cast func to void * when passing it as the first arg to memcpy to
avoid this with some versions of clang:

  arch/x86/tests/amd-ibs-period.c:81:3: error: no matching function for call to 'memcpy'
                  memcpy(func, insn1, sizeof(insn1));
                  ^~~~~~
  /usr/include/string.h:27:7: note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'int (*)(void)' to 'void *' for 1st argument
  void *memcpy (void *__restrict, const void *__restrict, size_t);
        ^
  /usr/include/fortify/string.h:40:27: note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'int (*)(void)' to 'void *const' for 1st argument
  _FORTIFY_FN(memcpy) void *memcpy(void * _FORTIFY_POS0 __od,
                            ^
  arch/x86/tests/amd-ibs-period.c:87:3: error: no matching function for call to 'memcpy'

This one, for instance:

'perf mem/c2c' uses IBS Op PMU on AMD platforms.

IBS Op PMU on Zen5 uarch has added support for Load Latency filtering.

Implement 'perf mem/c2c' --ldlat using IBS Op Load Latency filtering
capability.

Some subtle differences between AMD and other arch:

o --ldlat is disabled by default on AMD

o Supported values are 128 to 2048.

<title>tools headers: Update the syscall table with the kernel sources</title>

<id>urn:sha1:22f72088ffe69a375e07020795264faaaa175979</id>
<content type='text'>
To pick up the changes in:

  c4a16820d9019940 fs: add open_tree_attr()
  2df1ad0d25803399 x86/arch_prctl: Simplify sys_arch_prctl()
  e632bca07c8eef1d arm64: generate 64-bit syscall.tbl

This is basically to support the new open_tree_attr syscall.  But it
also needs to update asm-generic unistd.h header to get the new syscall
number.  And arm64 unistd.h header was converted to use the generic
64-bit header.

Addressing this perf tools build warning:

Rename TEST_LOGS to SHELL_TEST_LOGS as later changes will add more
kinds of test logs.
Minor comment tweak in Makefile.perf as more than just test shell
tests are checked.

Commit 54f9aa1092457 ("tools/perf/powerpc/util: Add support to
handle compatible mode PVR for perf json events") introduced
to select proper JSON events in case of compat mode using
auxiliary vector. But this caused a compilation error in ppc64
Big Endian.

arch/powerpc/util/header.c: In function 'is_compat_mode':
arch/powerpc/util/header.c:20:21: error: cast to pointer from
integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
   20 |         if (!strcmp((char *)platform, (char *)base_platform))
      |                     ^

integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
   20 |         if (!strcmp((char *)platform, (char *)base_platform))
      |

Commit saved the getauxval(AT_BASE_PLATFORM) and getauxval(AT_PLATFORM)
return values in u64 which causes the compilation error.

Patch fixes this issue by changing u64 to "unsigned long".

Fixes: 54f9aa1092457 ("tools/perf/powerpc/util: Add support to handle compatible mode PVR for perf json events")

Now a single beauty file is generated and used by all architectures,
remove the per-architecture Makefiles, Kbuild files and previous
generator script.

Note: there was conversation with Charlie Jenkins
&lt;charlie@rivosinc.com&gt; and they'd written an alternate approach to
support multiple architectures:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250114-perf_syscall_arch_runtime-v1-1-5b304e408e11@rivosinc.com/
It would have been better to have helped Charlie fix their series (my
apologies) but they agreed that the approach taken here was likely
best for longer term maintainability:
