perf evsel: Override attr->sample_period for non-libpfm4 events

2022-01-27T09:54:30Z

commit 3606c0e1a1050d397ad759a62607e419fd8b0ccb upstream. A previous patch preventing "attr->sample_period" values from being overridden in pfm events changed a related behaviour in arm-spe. Before said patch: perf record -c 10000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1 Would yield an SPE event with period=10000. After the patch, the period in "-c 10000" was being ignored because the arm-spe code initializes sample_period to a non-zero value. This patch restores the previous behaviour for non-libpfm4 events.

perf evsel: Add evsel__clone() function

2020-09-28T11:55:48Z

The evsel__clone() is to create an exactly same evsel from same attributes. The function assumes the given evsel is not configured yet so it cares fields set during event parsing. Those fields are now moved together as Jiri suggested. Note that metric events will be handled by later patch. It will be used by perf stat to generate separate events for each cgroup.

perf record: Set PERF_RECORD_PERIOD if attr->freq is set.

2020-09-14T21:44:35Z

evsel__config() would only set PERF_RECORD_PERIOD if it set attr->freq from perf record options. When it is set by libpfm events, it would not get set. This changes evsel__config to see if attr->freq is set outside of whether or not it changes attr->freq itself.

perf tests: Call test_attr__open() directly

2020-09-10T14:55:37Z

There's no longer need to call test_attr__open() from sys_perf_event_open(), because both 'perf record' and 'perf stat' call evsel__open_cpu(), so we can call it directly from there and not polute the perf-sys.h header.

perf evsel: Don't set sample_regs_intr/sample_regs_user for dummy event

2020-08-04T12:04:31Z

Since commit 0a892c1c9472 ("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide synthesis"), a dummy event is added to capture mmaps. But if we run perf-record as, # perf record -e cycles:p -IXMM0 -a -- sleep 1 Error: dummy:HG: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat' The issue is, if we enable the extended regs (-IXMM0), but the pmu->capabilities is not set with PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS, the kernel will return -EOPNOTSUPP error. See following code: /* in kernel/events/core.c */ static int perf_try_init_event(struct pmu *pmu, struct perf_event *event) { .... if (!(pmu->capabilities & PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS) && has_extended_regs(event)) ret = -EOPNOTSUPP; .... } For software dummy event, the PMU should not be set with PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS. But unfortunately now, the dummy event has possibility to be set with PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MASK bit. In evsel__config, /* tools/perf/util/evsel.c */ if (opts->sample_intr_regs) { attr->sample_regs_intr = opts->sample_intr_regs; } If we use -IXMM0, the attr>sample_regs_intr will be set with PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MASK bit. It doesn't make sense to set attr->sample_regs_intr for a software dummy event. This patch adds dummy event checking before setting attr->sample_regs_intr and attr->sample_regs_user. After: # ./perf record -e cycles:p -IXMM0 -a -- sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.413 MB perf.data (45 samples) ] Committer notes: Adrian said this when providing his Acked-by: " This is fine. It will not break PT. no_aux_samples is useful for evsels that have been added by the code rather than requested by the user. For old kernels PT adds sched_switch tracepoint to track context switches (before the current context switch event was added) and having auxiliary sample information unnecessarily uses up space in the perf buffer.
