perf pmu: Pass pmu as a parameter to get_cpuid_str()

2017-12-05T13:24:33Z

The cpuid string will not be same on all CPUs on heterogeneous platforms like ARM's big.LITTLE, adding provision(using pmu->cpus) to find cpuid string from associated CPUs of PMU CORE device. Also optimise arguments to function pmu_add_cpu_aliases.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf pmu: Unbreak perf record for arm/arm64 with events with explicit PMU

2017-10-09T18:48:46Z

Currently, perf record is broken on arm/arm64 systems when the PMU is specified explicitly as part of the event, e.g. $ ./perf record -e armv8_cortex_a53/cpu_cycles/u true In such cases, perf record fails to open events unless perf_event_paranoid is set to -1, even if the PMU in question supports mode exclusion. Further, even when perf_event_paranoid is toggled, no samples are recorded. This is an unintended side effect of commit: e3ba76deef23064f ("perf tools: Force uncore events to system wide monitoring) ... which assumes that if a PMU has an associated cpu_map, it is an uncore PMU, and forces events for such PMUs to be system-wide. This is not true for arm/arm64 systems, which can have heterogeneous CPUs. To account for this, multiple CPU PMUs are exposed, each with a "cpus" field under sysfs, which the perf tool parses into a cpu_map. ARM PMUs do not have a "cpumask" file, and only have a "cpus" file. For the gory details as to why, see commit: 7e3fcffe95544010 ("perf pmu: Support alternative sysfs cpumask") Given all of this, we can instead identify uncore PMUs by explicitly checking for a "cpumask" file, and restore arm/arm64 PMU support back to a working state. This patch does so, adding a new perf_pmu::is_uncore field, and splitting the existing cpumask parsing so that it can be reused.

perf stat: Output JSON MetricExpr metric

2017-03-23T14:42:30Z

Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for "MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total ticks. Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel. We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported. Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on the cpu and context. Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser added earlier to evaluate the expression. Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for --metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the original event as description. There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user. % perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' 1.000147889 800,085,181 unc_p_clockticks 1.000147889 93,126,241 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 11.6 2.000448381 800,218,217 unc_p_clockticks 2.000448381 142,516,095 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 17.8 3.000639852 800,243,057 unc_p_clockticks 3.000639852 162,292,689 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 20.3 % perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' --metric-only # time freq_max_os_cycles % 1.000127077 0.9 2.000301436 0.7 3.000456379 0.0 v2: Change from DivideBy to MetricExpr v3: Use expr__ prefix.
