perf tests x86: Move insn.h include to make sure it finds stddef.h

2021-03-06T19:54:32Z

In some versions of alpine Linux the perf build is broken since commit 1d509f2a6ebca1ae ("x86/insn: Support big endian cross-compiles"): In file included from /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:13, from /usr/include/asm/byteorder.h:5, from arch/x86/util/../../../../arch/x86/include/asm/insn.h:10, from arch/x86/util/archinsn.c:2: /usr/include/linux/swab.h:161:8: error: unknown type name '__always_inline' static __always_inline __u16 __swab16p(const __u16 *p) So move the inclusion of arch/x86/include/asm/insn.h to later in the places where linux/stddef.h (that conditionally defines __always_inline) to workaround this problem on Alpine Linux 3.9 to 3.11, 3.12 onwards works.

perf test: Support the ins_lat check in the X86 specific test

2021-03-06T19:54:32Z

The ins_lat of PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT stands for the instruction latency, which is only available for X86. Add a X86 specific test for the ins_lat and PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT type. The test__x86_sample_parsing() uses the same way as the test__sample_parsing() to verify a sample type. Since the ins_lat and PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT are the only X86 specific sample type for now, the test__x86_sample_parsing() only verify the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT type. Other sample types are still verified in the generic test. $ perf test 77 -v 77: x86 Sample parsing : --- start --- test child forked, pid 102370 test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- x86 Sample parsing: Ok Signed-off-by: Kan Liang Cc: Athira Jajeev Cc: Heiko Carstens Cc: Sumanth Korikkar Cc: Sven Schnelle Cc: Thomas Richter Cc: Vasily Gorbik Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1614787285-104151-2-git-send-email-kan.liang@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

To pick the changes from: 9caccd41541a6f7d ("fs: introduce MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP") This adds this new syscall to the tables used by tools such as 'perf trace', so that one can specify it by name and have it filtered, etc. Addressing these perf build warnings: Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl' diff -u tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/perf/arch/powerpc/entry/syscalls/syscall.tbl' differs from latest version at 'arch/powerpc/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl' diff -u tools/perf/arch/powerpc/entry/syscalls/syscall.tbl arch/powerpc/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/perf/arch/s390/entry/syscalls/syscall.tbl' differs from latest version at 'arch/s390/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl' diff -u tools/perf/arch/s390/entry/syscalls/syscall.tbl arch/s390/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Christian Brauner Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YD6Wsxr9ByUbab/a@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Support arch specific PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT processing

2021-02-18T19:07:06Z

For X86, the var2_w field of PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT stands for the instruction latency. Current perf forces the var2_w to the data->ins_lat in the generic code. It works well for now because X86 is the only architecture that supports the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, but it may bring problems once other architectures support the sample type. For example, the var2_w may be used to capture something else on PowerPC. Create two architecture specific functions to parse and synthesize the weight related samples. Move the X86 specific codes to the X86 version functions. Other architectures can implement their own functions later separately.

perf tools: Support PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT

2021-02-08T19:25:00Z

The new sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, is an alternative of the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. Users can apply either the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type or the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type to retrieve the sample weight, but they cannot apply both sample types simultaneously. The new sample type shares the same space as the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. The lower 32 bits are exactly the same for both sample type. The higher 32 bits may be different for different architecture. Add arch specific arch_evsel__set_sample_weight() to set the new sample type for X86. Only store the lower 32 bits for the sample->weight if the new sample type is applied. In practice, no memory access could last than 4G cycles. No data will be lost. If the kernel doesn't support the new sample type. Fall back to the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. There is no impact for other architectures. Committer notes: Fixup related to PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE, present in acme/perf/core but not upstream yet.

perf tools: Support the auxiliary event

2021-02-08T19:25:00Z

On the Intel Sapphire Rapids server, an auxiliary event has to be enabled simultaneously with the load latency event to retrieve complete Memory Info. Add X86 specific perf_mem_events__name() to handle the auxiliary event. - Users are only interested in the samples of the mem-loads event. Sample read the auxiliary event. - The auxiliary event must be in front of the load latency event in a group. Assume the second event to sample if the auxiliary event is the leader. - Add a weak is_mem_loads_aux_event() to check the auxiliary event for X86. For other ARCHs, it always return false. Parse the unique event name, mem-loads-aux, for the auxiliary event. Committer notes: According to 61b985e3e775a3a7 ("perf/x86/intel: Add perf core PMU support for Sapphire Rapids"), ENODATA is only returned by sys_perf_event_open() when used with these auxiliary events, with this in evsel__open_strerror(): case ENODATA: return scnprintf(msg, size, "Cannot collect data source with the load latency event alone. " "Please add an auxiliary event in front of the load latency event."); This is Ok at this point in time, but fragile long term, I pointed this out in the e-mail thread, requesting a follow up patch to check if ENODATA is really for this specific case. Fixed up sizeof(MEM_LOADS_AUX_NAME) bug pointed out by Namhyung.
