perf tools: Add Hygon Dhyana support

2019-02-20T09:13:06Z

[ Upstream commit 4787eff3fa88f62fede6ed7afa06477ae6bf984d ] The tool perf is useful for the performance analysis on the Hygon Dhyana platform. But right now there is no Hygon support for it to analyze the KVM guest os data. So add Hygon Dhyana support to it by checking vendor string to share the code path of AMD.

perf intel-pt: Fix error with config term "pt=0"

2019-01-26T08:42:54Z

[ Upstream commit 1c6f709b9f96366cc47af23c05ecec9b8c0c392d ] Users should never use 'pt=0', but if they do it may give a meaningless error: $ perf record -e intel_pt/pt=0/u uname Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (intel_pt/pt=0/u). Fix that by forcing 'pt=1'.

perf tests: Remove wrong semicolon in while loop in CQM test

perf intel-pt: Fix occasional decoding errors when tracing system-wide

2016-09-07T06:32:37Z

commit 3d918fb13abdbeca7947578f5d7e426eafad7f5e upstream. In order to successfully decode Intel PT traces, context switch events are needed from the moment the trace starts. Currently that is ensured by using the 'immediate' flag which enables the switch event when it is opened. However, since commit 86c2786994bd ("perf intel-pt: Add support for PERF_RECORD_SWITCH") that might not always happen. When tracing system-wide the context switch event is added to the tracking event which was not set as 'immediate'. Change that so it is.

perf tests: Add Intel CQM test

2015-10-05T19:56:07Z

Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM (software) event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not able to create this bundle and we need to manually construct a test case. For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture specific tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future. The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the counter for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read both the hardware event and the software event counters. Unfortunately, for CQM that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM event counters on all sockets, which in NMI context triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE().

perf tests: Move x86 tests into arch directory

2015-10-05T19:55:43Z

Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture. We can also now begin to get rid of some of the #ifdef code that is present in the generic perf tests.

perf tests: Add arch tests

2015-10-05T19:55:38Z

Tests that only make sense for some architectures currently live in the same place as the generic tests. Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture. The main idea is to encourage developers to add arch tests to build out perf's test coverage, without dumping everything in tools/perf/tests.

perf tools: Introduce regs_query_register_offset() for x86

2015-09-15T12:48:33Z

regs_query_register_offset() is a helper function which converts register name like "%rax" to offset of a register in 'struct pt_regs', which is required by BPF prologue generator. Since the function is identical, try to reuse the code in arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.c. Comment inside dwarf-regs.c list the differences between this implementation and kernel code. get_arch_regstr() switches to regoffset_table and the old string table is dropped.

perf intel-pt: Add support for PERF_RECORD_SWITCH

2015-09-04T15:01:05Z

Add support for selecting and processing PERF_RECORD_SWITCH events for use by Intel PT. If they are available, they will be used in preference to sched_switch events. This enables an unprivileged user to trace multi-threaded or multi-process workloads with any level of perf_event_paranoid. However it depends on kernel support for PERF_RECORD_SWITCH. Without this patch, tracing a multi-threaded workload will decode without error but all the data will be attributed to the main thread. Without this patch, tracing a multi-process workload will result in decoder errors because the decoder will not know which executable is executing.
