The evsel__clone() should copy all fields in the evsel which are set
during the event parsing.  But it missed the use_config_name field.

If a group has events which are from different hybrid PMUs,
shows a warning:

"WARNING: events in group from different hybrid PMUs!"

This is to remind the user not to put the core event and atom
event into one group.

Next, just disable grouping.

  # perf stat -e "{cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_atom/cycles/}" -a -- sleep 1
  WARNING: events in group from different hybrid PMUs!

<title>perf record: Create two hybrid 'cycles' events by default</title>

<content type='text'>
When evlist is empty, for example no '-e' specified in perf record,
one default 'cycles' event is added to evlist.

While on hybrid platform, it needs to create two default 'cycles'
events. One is for cpu_core, the other is for cpu_atom.

This patch actually calls evsel__new_cycles() two times to create
two 'cycles' events.

We have to create evlist-hybrid.c otherwise due to the symbol

<title>perf stat: Introduce config stat.bpf-counter-events</title>

<id>urn:sha1:112cb56164bc2108a55aee785d841a35aab0616a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, to use BPF to aggregate perf event counters, the user uses
--bpf-counters option. Enable "use bpf by default" events with a config
option, stat.bpf-counter-events. Events with name in the option will use
BPF.

This also enables mixed BPF event and regular event in the same sesssion.
For example:

   perf config stat.bpf-counter-events=instructions
   perf stat -e instructions,cs

The second command will use BPF for "instructions" but not "cs".

<title>perf stat: Fix wrong skipping for per-die aggregation</title>
<updated>2021-03-06T19:54:30Z</updated>

<name>Jin Yao</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=034f7ee130c19b7b04347238395cff1f402198c3'/>
<id>urn:sha1:034f7ee130c19b7b04347238395cff1f402198c3</id>
<content type='text'>
Uncore becomes die-scope on Xeon Cascade Lake-AP and perf has supported
--per-die aggregation yet.

One issue is found in check_per_pkg() for uncore events running on AP
system. On cascade Lake-AP, we have:

S0-D0
S0-D1
S1-D0
S1-D1

But in check_per_pkg(), S0-D1 and S1-D1 are skipped because the mask
bits for S0 and S1 have been set for S0-D0 and S1-D0. It doesn't check
die_id. So the counting for S0-D1 and S1-D1 are set to zero.  That's not
correct.

  root@lkp-csl-2ap4 ~# ./perf stat -a -I 1000 -e llc_misses.mem_read --per-die -- sleep 5
     1.001460963 S0-D0           1            1317376 Bytes llc_misses.mem_read

     5.001479927 S1-D1           1            5496640 Bytes llc_misses.mem_read

From above output, we can see S0-D1 and S1-D1 don't report the interval
values, they are continued to grow. That's because check_per_pkg()
wrongly decides to use zero counts for S0-D1 and S1-D1.

So in check_per_pkg(), we should use hashmap(socket,die) to decide if
the cpu counts needs to skip. Only considering socket is not enough.

Now with this patch,

On no-die system, die_id is 0, actually it's hashmap(socket,0), original behavior
is not changed.

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-&gt;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.

The instruction latency information can be recorded on some platforms,
e.g., the Intel Sapphire Rapids server. With both memory latency
(weight) and the new instruction latency information, users can easily
locate the expensive load instructions, and also understand the time
spent in different stages. The users can optimize their applications in
different pipeline stages.

The 'weight' field is shared among different architectures. Reusing the
'weight' field may impacts other architectures. Add a new field to store
the instruction latency.

Like the 'weight' support, introduce a 'ins_lat' for the global
instruction latency, and a 'local_ins_lat' for the local instruction
latency version.

Add new sort functions, INSTR Latency and Local INSTR Latency,
accordingly.

Add local_ins_lat to the default_mem_sort_order[].

<title>perf tools: Support PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT</title>

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-&gt;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.

<title>perf tools: Support the auxiliary event</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2a57d40832dc8366bc517bcbbfdb1d7fb583735b</id>
<content type='text'>
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.
