      perf/x86: Filter out undefined events from sysfs events attribute · 8300daa2
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      The sysfs events group attribute currently shows all hw events,
including also undefined ones.

This patch filters out all undefined events out of the sysfs events
group attribute, so they don't even show up.

      perf/x86: Make hardware event translations available in sysfs · a4747393
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      Add support to display hardware events translations available
through the sysfs. Add 'events' group attribute under the sysfs
x86 PMU record with attribute/file for each hardware event.

This patch adds only backbone for PMUs to display config under
'events' directory. The specific PMU support itself will come
in next patches, however this is how the sysfs group will look
like:

  # ls  /sys/devices/cpu/events/
  branch-instructions
  branch-misses
  bus-cycles
  cache-misses
  cache-references
  cpu-cycles
  instructions
  ref-cycles
  stalled-cycles-backend
  stalled-cycles-frontend

The file - hw event ID mapping is:

  file                      hw event ID
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  cpu-cycles                PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES
  instructions              PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
  cache-references          PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES
  cache-misses              PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MISSES
  branch-instructions       PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS
  branch-misses             PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_MISSES
  bus-cycles                PERF_COUNT_HW_BUS_CYCLES
  stalled-cycles-frontend   PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND
  stalled-cycles-backend    PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND
  ref-cycles                PERF_COUNT_HW_REF_CPU_CYCLES

Each file in the 'events' directory contains the term translation
for the symbolic hw event for the currently running cpu model.

  # cat /sys/devices/cpu/events/stalled-cycles-backend
  event=0xb1,umask=0x01,inv,cmask=0x01

      x86/perf: Fix virtualization sanity check · bffd5fc2
      Andre Przywara authored 
      In check_hw_exists() we try to detect non-emulated MSR accesses
by writing an arbitrary value into one of the PMU registers
and check if it's value after a readout is still the same.
This algorithm silently assumes that the register does not contain
the magic value already, which is wrong in at least one situation.

Fix the algorithm to really do a read-modify-write cycle. This fixes
a warning under Xen under some circumstances on AMD family 10h CPUs.

The reasons in more details actually sound like a story from
Believe It or Not!:

First you need an AMD family 10h/12h CPU. These do not reset the
PERF_CTR registers on a reboot.
Now you boot bare metal Linux, which goes successfully through this
check, but leaves the magic value of 0xabcd in the register. You
don't use the performance counters, but do a reboot (warm reset).
Then you choose to boot Xen. The check will be triggered with a
recent Linux kernel as Dom0 again, trying to write 0xabcd into the
MSR. Xen silently drops the write (expected), but the subsequent read
will return the value in the register, which just happens to be the
expected magic value. Thus the test misleadingly succeeds, leaving
the kernel in the belief that the PMU is available. This will trigger
the following message:

[    0.020294] ------------[ cut here ]------------

The new code will change every of the 16 low bits read from the
register and tries to write and read-back that modified number
from the MSR.

Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 * Validate syscall id before growing syscall table in 'trace', fixing potential
   excessive memory usage.

 * Validate perf_sample.raw_data, making 'trace' more robust, avoiding some
   potential SEGFAULTs when reading tracepoint fields.

 * Fix exclude_guest parse events 'perf test's, from Jiri Olsa.

 * Do not flush maps on COMM, that is sent by the kernel when a process is
   exec'ed, but also when a process changes its name. Since we were assuming
   a COMM always meant an EXEC, we were losing track of a process maps by
   flushing its maps. Fix from Luigi Semenzato.

 * A recent patch introduced a problem by not initializing what should be
   the first kind of pager to use, 'man', instead it was being left as zero
   which means no pager. This caused 'perf subcmd --help' to produce no output.
   Fix from Namhyung Kim.
