perf pmu: Fix core PMU alias list for X86 platform

2018-04-24T19:02:29Z

When counting uncore event with alias, core event is mistakenly involved, for example: perf stat --no-merge -e "unc_m_cas_count.all" -C0 sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0': 0 unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_4] 0 unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_2] 0 unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_0] 153,640 unc_m_cas_count.all [cpu] 0 unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_5] 25,026 unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_3] 0 unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_1] 1.001447890 seconds time elapsed The reason is that current implementation doesn't check PMU name of a event when adding its alias into the alias list for core PMU. The uncore event aliases are mistakenly added. This bug was introduced in: commit 14b22ae028de ("perf pmu: Add helper function is_pmu_core to detect PMU CORE devices") Checking the PMU name for all PMUs on X86 and other architectures except ARM. There is no behavior change for ARM.

perf list: Remove s390 specific strcmp_cpuid_cmp function

2018-04-23T14:03:13Z

Make the type field in pmu-events/arch/s390/mapfile.cvs more generic to match the created cpuid string for s390. The pattern also checks for the counter first version number and counter second version number ([13]\.[1-5]) and the authorization field which follows. These numbers do not exist in the cpuid identification string when perf commands are executed on a z/VM environment (which does not support CPU counter measurement facility). CPUID string for LPAR: cpuid : IBM,3906,704,M03,3.5,002f CPUID string for z/VM: cpuid : IBM,2964,702,N96 This allows the removal of s390 specific cpuid compare code and uses the common compare function with its regular expression matching algorithm.

perf list: Add s390 support for detailed/verbose PMU event description

2018-04-17T12:47:39Z

'perf list' with flags -d and -v print a description (-d) or a very verbose explanation (-v) of CPU specific counter events. These descriptions are provided with the json files in directory pmu-events/arch/s390/*.json. Display of these descriptions on s390 requires the corresponding json files. On s390 this does not work because function is_pmu_core() does not detect the s390 directory name where the CPU specific events are listed. On x86 it is: /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu whereas on s390 it is: /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpum_cf /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpum_sf Fix this by adding s390 directory name testing to function is_pmu_core(). This is the same approach as taken for the ARM platform.

perf tools: Fix snprint warnings for gcc 8

2018-03-19T13:00:43Z

With gcc 8 we get new set of snprintf() warnings that breaks the compilation, one example: tests/mem.c: In function ‘check’: tests/mem.c:19:48: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing \ up to 99 bytes into a region of size 89 [-Werror=format-truncation=] snprintf(failure, sizeof failure, "unexpected %s", out); The gcc docs says: To avoid the warning either use a bigger buffer or handle the function's return value which indicates whether or not its output has been truncated. Given that all these warnings are harmless, because the code either properly fails due to uncomplete file path or we don't care for truncated output at all, I'm changing all those snprintf() calls to scnprintf(), which actually 'checks' for the snprint return value so the gcc stays silent.

perf cpuid: Introduce a platform specific cpuid compare function

2018-02-16T18:16:57Z

The function get_cpuid_str() is called by perf_pmu__getcpuid() and on s390 returns a complete description of the CPU and its capabilities, which is a comma separated list. To map the CPU type with the value defined in the pmu-events/arch/s390/mapfile.csv, introduce an architecture specific cpuid compare function named strcmp_cpuid_str() The currently used regex algorithm is defined as the weak default and will be used if no platform specific one is defined. This matches the current behavior.

perf vendor events: Use more flexible pattern matching for CPU identification for mapfile.csv

2017-12-05T18:43:55Z

The powerpc cpuid information includes chip revision information. Changes between chip revisions are usually minor bug fixes and usually do not affect the operation of the performance monitoring hardware. The original mapfile.csv matching requires enumerating every possible cpuid string. When a new minor chip revision is produced a new entry has to be added to the mapfile.csv and the code recompiled to allow perf to have the implementation specific perf events for this new minor revision. For users of various distibutions of Linux having to wait for a new release of the kernel's perf tool to be built with these trivial patches is inconvenient. Using regular expressions rather than exactly string matching of the entire cpuid string allows developers to write mapfile.csv files that do not require patches and recompiles for each of these minor version changes. If special cases need to be made for some particular versions, they can be placed earlier in the mapfile.csv file before the more general matches.

perf record: Fix -c/-F options for cpu event aliases

2017-11-16T17:49:51Z

The Intel PMU event aliases have a implicit period= specifier to set the default period. Unfortunately this breaks overriding these periods with -c or -F, because the alias terms look like they are user specified to the internal parser, and user specified event qualifiers override the command line options. Track that they are coming from aliases by adding a "weak" state to the term. Any weak terms don't override command line options. I only did it for -c/-F for now, I think that's the only case that's broken currently.
