Adrian Hunter authored
Instruction trace decoders such as Intel PT may have additional information recorded in the trace. For example, Intel PT has power information and a there is a new instruction 'ptwrite' that can write a value into a PTWRITE trace packet. Such information may be associated with an IP and so can be treated as a sample (PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE). Custom data can be incorporated in the sample as raw_data (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW). However a means of identifying the raw data format is needed. That will be done by synthesizing an attribute for it. So add an attribute type for custom synthesized events. Different synthesized events will be identified by the attribute 'config'. Committer notes: Start those PERF_TYPE_ after the PMU range, i.e. after (INT_MAX + 1U), i.e. after perf_pmu_register() -> idr_alloc(end=0). Signed-off-by:

Add ptwrite to the op code map and the perf tools new instructions test. To run the test: $ tools/perf/perf test "x86 ins" 39: Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions : Ok Or to see the details: $ tools/perf/perf test -v "x86 ins" 2>&1 | grep ptwrite For information about ptwrite, refer the Intel SDM.

The warning(str_error_r(errno)) pattern can be replaced with a function, do it. And while at it use pr_warning(), we have way too many error reporting facilities, time to drop some, starting with the one we got from the git sources.

This patch adds platform dependency into the test case 15 (perf_event_attr). It is based on a suggestion from Jiri Olsa. Add a new optional attribute named 'arch' in the [config] section of the test case file. It is a comma separated list of architecture names this test can be executed on. For example: arch = x86_64,alpha,ppc If this attribute is missing the test is executed on any platform. This does not break existing behavior. The values listed for this attribute should be identical to uname -m output. If the list starts with an exclamation mark (!) the comparison is inverted, for example for arch = !s390x,ppc the test is not executed on s390x or ppc platforms. The exclamation mark must be at the beginnning of the list. Here is an example debug output: [root@s35lp76]# fgrep arch tests/attr/test-stat-C2 arch = x86_64,alpha,ppc [root@s35lp76]# PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py \ -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -vvvvv -t test-stat-C1 provides the following output: running './tests/attr//test-stat-C1' test limitation 'x86_64,alpha,ppc' <--- new loading expected events Event event:base-stat fd = 1 group_fd = -1 ..... Here is the output when a test is skipped: [root@s35lp76]# fgrep arch tests/attr/test-stat-C1 arch = !s390x [root@s35lp76]# PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py \ -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -vvvvv -t test-stat-C1 provides the following output: test limitation '!s390x' <--- new skipped [s390x] './tests/attr//test-stat-C1' <--- new The test is skipped with return code 0.

Branch tracing is enabled by default, so a fake config bit called 'pt' (pass-through) was added to allow the 'branch enable' bit to have affect. Add default config 'pt,branch' which will allow users to disable branch tracing using 'branch=0' instead of having to specify 'pt,branch=0'. Signed-off-by:

The kernel now supports the disabling of branch tracing, however the decoder assumes branch tracing is always enabled. Pass through a parameter to indicate whether branch tracing is enabled and use it to avoid cases when the decoder is expecting branch packets. There are 2 such cases. First, FUP packets which can bind to an IP even when there is no branch tracing. Secondly, the decoder will try to use branch packets to find an IP to start decoding or to recover from errors.

Sometimes a FUP packet is associated with a TSX transaction and a flag is set to indicate that. Ensure that flag is cleared on any error condition because at that point the decoder can no longer assume it is correct. Signed-off-by:

The decoder will try to use branch packets to find an IP to start decoding or to recover from errors. Currently the FUP packet is used only in the case of an overflow, however there is no reason for that to be a special case. So just use FUP always when scanning for an IP. Signed-off-by:

Intel PT uses IP compression based on the last IP. For decoding purposes, 'last IP' is not updated when a branch target has been suppressed, which is indicated by IPBytes == 0. IPBytes is stored in the packet 'count', so ensure never to set 'last_ip' when packet 'count' is zero. Signed-off-by:

Adrian Hunter authored
Intel PT uses IP compression based on the last IP. For decoding purposes, 'last IP' is considered to be reset to zero whenever there is a synchronization packet (PSB). The decoder wasn't doing that, and was treating the zero value to mean that there was no last IP, whereas compression can be done against the zero value. Fix by setting last_ip to zero when a PSB is received and keep track of have_last_ip. Signed-off-by:

The decoder uses its current timestamp in samples. Usually that is a timestamp that has already passed, but in some cases it is a timestamp for a branch that the decoder is walking towards, and consequently hasn't reached. Improve that situation by using the pkt_state to determine when to use the current or previous timestamp. Signed-off-by:

Porting PPC to libdw only needs an architecture-specific hook to move the register state from perf to libdw. The ARM and x86 architectures already use libdw, and it is useful to have as much common code for the unwinder as possible. Mark Wielaard has contributed a frame-based unwinder to libdw, so that unwinding works even for binaries that do not have CFI information. In addition, libunwind is always preferred to libdw by the build machinery so this cannot introduce regressions on machines that have both libunwind and libdw installed. Signed-off-by:

Implementing a new --smi-cost mode in perf stat to measure SMI cost. During the measurement, the /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi will be set. The measurement can be done with one counter (unhalted core cycles), and two free running MSR counters (IA32_APERF and SMI_COUNT). In practice, the percentages of SMI core cycles should be more useful than absolute value. So the output will be the percentage of SMI core cycles and SMI#. metric_only will be set by default. SMI cycles% = (aperf - unhalted core cycles) / aperf Here is an example output. Performance counter stats for 'sudo echo ': SMI cycles% SMI# 0.1% 1 0.010858678 seconds time elapsed Users who wants to get the actual value can apply additional --no-metric-only.
