'make -C tools/perf build-test' is failing with below log for poewrpc. In file included from /tmp/tmp.3eEwmGlYaF/perf-4.8.0-rc4/tools/perf/perf.h:15:0, from util/cpumap.h:8, from util/env.c:1: /tmp/tmp.3eEwmGlYaF/perf-4.8.0-rc4/tools/perf/perf-sys.h:23:56: fatal error: ../../arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. I bisected it and found it's failing from commit ad430729 ("Remove: kernel unistd*h files from perf's MANIFEST, not used"). Header file '../../arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h' is included only for powerpc in tools/perf/perf-sys.h. By looking closly at commit history, I found little weird thing: Commit f2d9cae9 ("perf powerpc: Use uapi/unistd.h to fix build error") replaced 'asm/unistd.h' with 'uapi/asm/unistd.h' Commit d2709c7c ("perf: Make perf build for x86 with UAPI disintegration applied") removes all arch specific 'uapi/asm/unistd.h' for all archs and adds generic <asm/unistd.h>. Commit f0b9abfb ("Merge branch 'linus' into perf/core") again includes 'uapi/asm/unistd.h' for powerpc. Don't know how exactly this happened as this change is not part of commit also.

The perf tools can read a cpumask file for a PMU, describing a subset of CPUs which that PMU covers. So far this has only been used to cater for uncore PMUs, which in practice happen to only have a single CPU described in the mask. Until recently, the perf tools only correctly handled cpumask containing a single CPU, and only when monitoring in system-wide mode. For example, prior to commit 00e727bb ("perf stat: Balance opening and reading events"), a mask with more than a single CPU could cause perf stat to hang. When a CPU PMU covers a subset of CPUs, but lacks a cpumask, perf record will fail to open events (on the cores the PMU does not support), and gives up. For systems with heterogeneous CPUs such as ARM big.LITTLE systems, this presents a problem. We have a PMU for each microarchitecture (e.g. a big PMU and a little PMU), and would like to expose a cpumask for each (so as to allow perf record and other tools to do the right thing). However, doing so kernel-side will cause old perf binaries to not function (e.g. hitting the issue solved by 00e727bb), and thus commits the cardinal sin of breaking (existing) userspace. To address this chicken-and-egg problem, this patch adds support got a new file, cpus, which is largely identical to the existing cpumask file. A kernel can expose this file, knowing that new perf binaries will correctly support it, while old perf binaries will not look for it (and thus will not be broken).

In systems with heterogeneous CPU PMUs, it's possible for each evsel to cover a distinct set of CPUs, and hence the cpu_map associated with each evsel may have a distinct idx<->id mapping. Any of these may be distinct from the evlist's cpu map. Events can be tied to the same fd so long as they use the same per-cpu ringbuffer (i.e. so long as they are on the same CPU). To acquire the correct FDs, we must compare the Linux logical IDs rather than the evsel or evlist indices. This path adds logic to perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel to handle this, translating IDs as required. As PMUs may cover a subset of CPUs from the evlist, we skip the CPUs a PMU cannot handle. Without this patch, perf record may try to mmap erroneous FDs on heterogeneous systems, and will bail out early rather than running the workload.

I wanted to know the hottest path through a function and figured the branch-stack (LBR) information should be able to help out with that. The below uses the branch-stack to create basic blocks and generate statistics from them. from to branch_i * ----> * | | block v * ----> * from to branch_i+1 The blocks are broken down into non-overlapping ranges, while tracking if the start of each range is an entry point and/or the end of a range is a branch. Each block iterates all ranges it covers (while splitting where required to exactly match the block) and increments the 'coverage' count. For the range including the branch we increment the taken counter, as well as the pred counter if flags.predicted. Using these number we can find if an instruction: - had coverage; given by: br->coverage / br->sym->max_coverage This metric ensures each symbol has a 100% spot, which reflects the observation that each symbol must have a most covered/hottest block. - is a branch target: br->is_target && br->start == add - for targets, how much of a branch's coverages comes from it: target->entry / branch->coverage - is a branch: br->is_branch && br->end == addr - for branches, how often it was taken: br->taken / br->coverage after all, all execution that didn't take the branch would have incremented the coverage and continued onward to a later branch. - for branches, how often it was predicted: br->pred / br->taken The coverage percentage is used to color the address and asm sections; for low (<1%) coverage we use NORMAL (uncolored), indicating that these instructions are not 'important'. For high coverage (>75%) we color the address RED. For each branch, we add an asm comment after the instruction with information on how often it was taken and predicted. Output looks like (sans color, which does loose a lot of the information :/) $ perf record --branch-filter u,any -e cycles:p ./branches 27 $ perf annotate branches Percent | Source code & Disassembly of branches for cycles:pu (217 samples) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : branches(): 0.00 : 40057a: push %rbp 0.00 : 40057b: mov %rsp,%rbp 0.00 : 40057e: sub $0x20,%rsp 0.00 : 400582: mov %rdi,-0x18(%rbp) 0.00 : 400586: mov %rsi,-0x20(%rbp) 0.00 : 40058a: mov -0x18(%rbp),%rax 0.00 : 40058e: mov %rax,-0x10(%rbp) 0.00 : 400592: movq $0x0,-0x8(%rbp) 0.00 : 40059a: jmpq 400656 <branches+0xdc> 1.84 : 40059f: mov -0x10(%rbp),%rax # +100.00% 3.23 : 4005a3: and $0x1,%eax 1.84 : 4005a6: test %rax,%rax 0.00 : 4005a9: je 4005bf <branches+0x45> # -54.50% (p:42.00%) 0.46 : 4005ab: mov 0x200bbe(%rip),%rax # 601170 <acc> 12.90 : 4005b2: add $0x1,%rax 2.30 : 4005b6: mov %rax,0x200bb3(%rip) # 601170 <acc> 0.46 : 4005bd: jmp 4005d1 <branches+0x57> # -100.00% (p:100.00%) 0.92 : 4005bf: mov 0x200baa(%rip),%rax # 601170 <acc> # +49.54% 13.82 : 4005c6: sub $0x1,%rax 0.46 : 4005ca: mov %rax,0x200b9f(%rip) # 601170 <acc> 2.30 : 4005d1: mov -0x10(%rbp),%rax # +50.46% 0.46 : 4005d5: mov %rax,%rdi 0.46 : 4005d8: callq 400526 <lfsr> # -100.00% (p:100.00%) 0.00 : 4005dd: mov %rax,-0x10(%rbp) # +100.00% 0.92 : 4005e1: mov -0x18(%rbp),%rax 0.00 : 4005e5: and $0x1,%eax 0.00 : 4005e8: test %rax,%rax 0.00 : 4005eb: je 4005ff <branches+0x85> # -100.00% (p:100.00%) 0.00 : 4005ed: mov 0x200b7c(%rip),%rax # 601170 <acc> 0.00 : 4005f4: shr $0x2,%rax 0.00 : 4005f8: mov %rax,0x200b71(%rip) # 601170 <acc> 0.00 : 4005ff: mov -0x10(%rbp),%rax # +100.00% 7.37 : 400603: and $0x1,%eax 3.69 : 400606: test %rax,%rax 0.00 : 400609: jne 400612 <branches+0x98> # -59.25% (p:42.99%) 1.84 : 40060b: mov $0x1,%eax 14.29 : 400610: jmp 400617 <branches+0x9d> # -100.00% (p:100.00%) 1.38 : 400612: mov $0x0,%eax # +57.65% 10.14 : 400617: test %al,%al # +42.35% 0.00 : 400619: je 40062f <branches+0xb5> # -57.65% (p:100.00%) 0.46 : 40061b: mov 0x200b4e(%rip),%rax # 601170 <acc> 2.76 : 400622: sub $0x1,%rax 0.00 : 400626: mov %rax,0x200b43(%rip) # 601170 <acc> 0.46 : 40062d: jmp 400641 <branches+0xc7> # -100.00% (p:100.00%) 0.92 : 40062f: mov 0x200b3a(%rip),%rax # 601170 <acc> # +56.13% 2.30 : 400636: add $0x1,%rax 0.92 : 40063a: mov %rax,0x200b2f(%rip) # 601170 <acc> 0.92 : 400641: mov -0x10(%rbp),%rax # +43.87% 2.30 : 400645: mov %rax,%rdi 0.00 : 400648: callq 400526 <lfsr> # -100.00% (p:100.00%) 0.00 : 40064d: mov %rax,-0x10(%rbp) # +100.00% 1.84 : 400651: addq $0x1,-0x8(%rbp) 0.92 : 400656: mov -0x8(%rbp),%rax 5.07 : 40065a: cmp -0x20(%rbp),%rax 0.00 : 40065e: jb 40059f <branches+0x25> # -100.00% (p:100.00%) 0.00 : 400664: nop 0.00 : 400665: leaveq 0.00 : 400666: retq (Note: the --branch-filter u,any was used to avoid spurious target and branch points due to interrupts/faults, they show up as very small -/+ annotations on 'weird' locations) Committer note: Please take a look at: http://vger.kernel.org/~acme/perf/annotate_basic_blocks.png To see the colors.

Hugetlbfs mapping should be recognized as anon mapping so user has a chance to create /tmp/perf-<pid>.map file for symbol resolving. This patch utilizes MAP_HUGETLB to identify hugetlb mapping. After this patch, if perf is started before a program starts using huge pages (so perf gets MMAP2 events from kernel), perf is able to recognize hugetlb mapping as anon mapping.

Kan Liang authored
The method to build PCI bus to socket mapping is similar among platforms. However, the PCI location which stores Node ID mapping could vary between different platforms. For example, the Node ID mapping address on Skylake server is different from the previous platform. Also, to build the mapping for the PCI bus without UBOX, it has to start from bus 0 on Skylake server. This patch removes the current hardcoded implementation and adds three parameters for snbep_pci2phy_map_init(). This way the Node ID mapping address and bus searching direction can be configured according to different platforms.

In commit 8ead9dd5 ("devpts: more pty driver interface cleanups") I made devpts_get_priv() just return the dentry->fs_data directly. And because I thought it wouldn't happen, I added a warning if you ever saw a pts node that wasn't on devpts. And no, that warning never triggered under any actual real use, but you can trigger it by creating nonsensical pts nodes by hand. So just revert the warning, and make devpts_get_priv() return NULL for that case like it used to.

Commit e647b532 ("ACPI: Add early device probing infrastructure") introduced code that allows inserting driver specific struct acpi_probe_entry probe entries into ACPI linker sections (one per-subsystem, eg irqchip, clocksource) that are then walked to retrieve the data and function hooks required to probe the respective kernel components. Probing for all entries in a section is triggered through the __acpi_probe_device_table() function, that in turn, according to the table ID a given probe entry reports parses the table with the function retrieved from the respective section structures (ie struct acpi_probe_entry). Owing to the current ACPI table parsing implementation, the __acpi_probe_device_table() function has to share global variables with the acpi_match_madt() function, so in order to guarantee mutual exclusion locking is required between the two functions. Current kernel code implements the locking through the acpi_probe_lock spinlock; this has the side effect of requiring all code called within the lock (ie struct acpi_probe_entry.probe_{table/subtbl} hooks) not to sleep. However, kernel subsystems that make use of the early probing infrastructure are relying on kernel APIs that may sleep (eg irq_domain_alloc_fwnode(), among others) in the function calls pointed at by struct acpi_probe_entry.{probe_table/subtbl} entries (eg gic_v2_acpi_init()), which is a bug. Since __acpi_probe_device_table() is called from context that is allowed to sleep the acpi_probe_lock spinlock can be replaced with a mutex; this fixes the issue whilst still guaranteeing mutual exclusion.

When the ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY macro was added in commit e647b532 ("ACPI: Add early device probing infrastructure"), a stub macro adding an unused entry was added for the !CONFIG_ACPI Kconfig option case to make sure kernel code making use of the macro did not require to be guarded within CONFIG_ACPI in order to be compiled. The stub macro was never used since all kernel code that defines ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY entries is currently guarded within CONFIG_ACPI; it contains a typo that should be nonetheless fixed. Fix the typo in the stub (ie !CONFIG_ACPI) ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY() macro so that it can actually be used if needed.

AMD F12h machines have an erratum which can cause DIV/IDIV to behave unpredictably. The workaround is to set MSRC001_1029[31] but sometimes there is no BIOS update containing that workaround so let's do it ourselves unconditionally. It is simple enough.
