To avoid parsing event->header.misc in many locations. This will also allow setting perf.sample.{ip,cpumode} in a single place, from tracepoint fields, as needed by 'perf kvm' with PPC guests, where the guest hardware counters is not available at the host.

Comparing bits and bytes in numa benchmark assertion I hit the issue on two socket Power8 machine presenting its numa nodes as 0,1,16,17 (according to numactl). Therefore I got error (and hang of parent process): perf: bench/numa.c:296: bind_to_memnode: Assertion `!(g->p.nr_nodes > (int)sizeof(nodemask))' failed. This is obviously false positive. We can fit all the 18 nodes into bitfield of 8 bytes (long on 64b architecture).

The topology test case of 'perf test' seems to be broken on my x86 system - due to the comparison of a "core-id" with # of CPUs online. There are 8 online CPUs: $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online 0-7 but core-ids are not sequential and some core-ids exceed the number of online CPUs. $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/core_id 0 1 9 10 0 1 9 10 Looks like we can safely remove the check.

Add metric only support for -A too. This requires a new print function that prints the metrics in the right order. v2: Fix manpage v3: Simplify nrcpus computation Signed-off-by:

Andi Kleen authored
Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also allows easier plotting and processing with other tools. The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported. To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual values. There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle all metrics being on a single line. One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in some cases. The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns. Example: % perf stat -a -I 1000 --metric-only 1.001452803 frontend cycles idle insn per cycle stalled cycles per insn branch-misses of all branches 1.001452803 158.91% 0.66 2.39 2.92% 2.002192321 180.63% 0.76 2.08 2.96% 3.003088282 150.59% 0.62 2.57 2.84% 4.004369835 196.20% 0.98 1.62 3.79% 5.005227314 231.98% 0.84 1.90 4.71% v2: Lots of updates. v3: Use slightly narrower columns v4: Add comment Signed-off-by: -

The context menu in TUI hists browser checks corresponding sort keys when creating the menu item. But hotkey actions lacks these checks so it can filter using incorrect info. For example, default sort key of 'perf top' doesn't contain 'comm' or 'pid' sort key so each hist entry's thread info is not reliable. Thus it should prohibit using thread filter on 't' key.

The commit 2eafd410 ("perf hists browser: Only 'Zoom into thread' only when sort order has 'pid'") disabled thread filtering in hist browser for the default sort key. However the he->thread is still valid even if 'pid' sort key is not given. Only thing it should not use is the pid (or tid) of the thread. So allow to filter by thread when 'comm' sort key is given and show pid only if 'pid' sort key is given. Signed-off-by:

The sort__has_comm variable is to check whether the comm sort key is given. This is necessary to support thread filtering in the TUI hists browser later. Signed-off-by:

When hierarchy mode is enabled, each entry in a hierarchy level shares the period. IOW an upper level entry's period is the sum of lower level entries. Thus perf uses only one of them to calculate the total period of hists. It was lowest-level (leaf) entries but it has a problem when it comes to filters. If a filter is applied, entries in the same level will be filtered or not. But upper level entries still have period of their sum including filtered one. So total sum of upper level entries will not be same as sum of lower level entries. This resulted in entries having more than 100% of overhead and it can be produced using perf top with filter(s).

The nr_sort_keys field is to carry the number of sort entries in a hpp_list or hists to determine the depth of indentation of a hist entry. As it's only used in hierarchy mode and now we have used nr_hpp_node for this reason, there's no need to keep it anymore. Let's get rid of it. Signed-off-by:

The hist_browser__fprintf_hierarchy_entry() if to dump current output into a file so it needs to be sync-ed with the corresponding function hist_browser__show_hierarchy_entry(). So use hists->nr_hpp_node to indent width and use first fmt_node to print overhead columns instead of checking whether it's a sort entry (or dynamic entry). Signed-off-by:

When a command-line filter is applied in hierarchy mode, output is broken especially when filtering on lower level. The higher level entries doesn't show up so it's hard to see the results. Also it needs to handle multi sort keys in a single hierarchy level.

This patch adds a Broadwell specific PEBS event constraint table. Broadwell has a fix for the HT corruption bug erratum HSD29 on Haswell. Therefore, there is no need to mark events 0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2, 0xd3 has requiring the exclusive mode across both sibling HT threads. This holds true for regular counting and sampling (see core.c) and PEBS (ds.c) which we fix in this patch. In doing so, we relax evnt scheduling for these events, they can now be programmed on any 4 counters without impacting what is measured on the sibling thread. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes an issue with the GLOBAL_OVERFLOW_STATUS bits on Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake processors when using PEBS. The SDM stipulates that when the PEBS iterrupt threshold is crossed, an interrupt is posted and the kernel is interrupted. The kernel will find GLOBAL_OVF_SATUS bit 62 set indicating there are PEBS records to drain. But the bits corresponding to the actual counters should NOT be set. The kernel follows the SDM and assumes that all PEBS events are processed in the drain_pebs() callback. The kernel then checks for remaining overflows on any other (non-PEBS) events and processes these in the for_each_bit_set(&status) loop. As it turns out, under certain conditions on HSW and later processors, on PEBS buffer interrupt, bit 62 is set but the counter bits may be set as well. In that case, the kernel drains PEBS and generates SAMPLES with the EXACT tag, then it processes the counter bits, and generates normal (non-EXACT) SAMPLES. I ran into this problem by trying to understand why on HSW sampling on a PEBS event was sometimes returning SAMPLES without the EXACT tag. This should not happen on user level code because HSW has the eventing_ip which always point to the instruction that caused the event. The workaround in this patch simply ensures that the bits for the counters used for PEBS events are cleared after the PEBS buffer has been drained. With this fix 100% of the PEBS samples on my user code report the EXACT tag. Before: $ perf record -e cpu/event=0xd0,umask=0x81/upp ./multichase $ perf report -D | fgrep SAMPLES PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x2): 11775/11775: 0x406de5 period: 73469 addr: 0 exact=Y \--- EXACT tag is missing After: $ perf record -e cpu/event=0xd0,umask=0x81/upp ./multichase $ perf report -D | fgrep SAMPLES PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4002): 11775/11775: 0x406de5 period: 73469 addr: 0 exact=Y \--- EXACT tag is set The problem tends to appear more often when multiple PEBS events are used.

This patch tries to fix a PEBS warning found in my stress test. The following perf command can easily trigger the pebs warning or spurious NMI error on Skylake/Broadwell/Haswell platforms: sudo perf record -e 'cpu/umask=0x04,event=0xc4/pp,cycles,branches,ref-cycles,cache-misses,cache-references' --call-graph fp -b -c1000 -a Also the NMI watchdog must be enabled. For this case, the events number is larger than counter number. So perf has to do multiplexing. In perf_mux_hrtimer_handler, it does perf_pmu_disable(), schedule out old events, rotate_ctx, schedule in new events and finally perf_pmu_enable(). If the old events include precise event, the MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE should be cleared when perf_pmu_disable(). The MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE should keep 0 until the perf_pmu_enable() is called and the new event is precise event. However, there is a corner case which could restore PEBS_ENABLE to stale value during the above period. In perf_pmu_disable(), GLOBAL_CTRL will be set to 0 to stop overflow and followed PMI. But there may be pending PMI from an earlier overflow, which cannot be stopped. So even GLOBAL_CTRL is cleared, the kernel still be possible to get PMI. At the end of the PMI handler, __intel_pmu_enable_all() will be called, which will restore the stale values if old events haven't scheduled out. Once the stale pebs value is set, it's impossible to be corrected if the new events are non-precise. Because the pebs_enabled will be set to 0. x86_pmu.enable_all() will ignore the MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE setting. As a result, the following NMI with stale PEBS_ENABLE trigger pebs warning. The pending PMI after enabled=0 will become harmless if the NMI handler does not change the state. This patch checks cpuc->enabled in pmi and only restore the state when PMU is active.

Using PAGE_SIZE buffers makes the WRMSR to PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL in intel_pmu_enable_all() mysteriously hang on Core2. As a workaround, we don't do this. The hard lockup is easily triggered by running 'perf test attr' repeatedly. Most of the time it gets stuck on sample session with small periods. # perf test attr -vv 14: struct perf_event_attr setup : --- start --- ... 'PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp/tmpuEKz3B /usr/bin/perf record -o /tmp/tmpuEKz3B/perf.data -c 123 kill >/dev/null 2>&1' ret 1 Reported-by: -

The error path in perf_event_open() is such that asking for a sampling event on a PMU that doesn't generate interrupts will end up in dropping the perf_sched_count even though it hasn't been incremented for this event yet. Given a sufficient amount of these calls, we'll end up disabling scheduler's jump label even though we'd still have active events in the system, thereby facilitating the arrival of the infernal regions upon us. I'm fixing this by moving account_event() inside perf_event_alloc(). Signed-off-by:
