[PATCH v2 0/3] perf arm-spe: Add snapshot mode support

[PATCH v2 0/3] perf arm-spe: Add snapshot mode support

[German Gomez]

This patchset adds snapshot mode support for arm-spe.

  - [PATCH 1/3] implements the minimal callbacks to support recording in
    snapshot mode.
  - [PATCH 2/3] implements the find_snapshot callback in order to handle
    wrap-arounds in the AUX buffer.
  - [PATCH 3/3] adds a test for spe snapshot mode.

---

Changes since v1:
  - Added acme@kernel.org to the recipients list as I forgot to include
    him in the original patchset [1].
  - Removed [PATCH 1/5] and [PATCH 2/5] in order to keep patches
    semantically relevant.
  - Updated test script test_arm_spe.sh because it wasn't working on
    distributions that use dash shell v0.5.10 (ubuntu 20) [2].

[PATCH v2 2/3] perf arm-spe: Implement find_snapshot callback

[German Gomez]

The head pointer of the AUX buffer managed by the arm_spe_pmu.c driver
is not monotonically increasing, therefore the find_snapshot callback is
needed in order to find the trace data within the AUX buffer and avoid
wasting space in the perf.data file.

The pointer is assumed to have wrapped if the buffer contains non-zero
data at the end. If it has wrapped, the entire contents of the AUX
buffer are stored in the perf.data file. Otherwise only the data up to
the head pointer is stored.

[PATCH v2 2/3] perf arm-spe: Implement find_snapshot callback

[German Gomez]

The head pointer of the AUX buffer managed by the arm_spe_pmu.c driver
is not monotonically increasing, therefore the find_snapshot callback is
needed in order to find the trace data within the AUX buffer and avoid
wasting space in the perf.data file.

The pointer is assumed to have wrapped if the buffer contains non-zero
data at the end. If it has wrapped, the entire contents of the AUX
buffer are stored in the perf.data file. Otherwise only the data up to
the head pointer is stored.

Check Arm SPE trace data recording and synthesized samples: Ok

BTW, you could see German has another patch set for enabling pid/tid
for Arm SPE tracing [1].  I confirmed that the pid/tid patch set and
current patch set have no conflit, and don't need worry the dependency
between these two patch sets (so you could apply two patch sets in any
ordering).

Thanks,
Leo

I have verified this patch set on Hisilicon D06 board, please consider
to pick up:

root@ubuntu:/home/leoy/linux/tools/perf# ./perf test -v 85
85: Check Arm SPE trace data recording and synthesized samples      :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 17083
Recording trace with snapshot mode /tmp/__perf_test.perf.data.MI2iX
Looking at perf.data file for dumping samples:
Looking at perf.data file for reporting samples:
SPE snapshot testing: PASS
test child finished with 0
---- end ----

Thanks for the clarifications, applied, its out in my tmp.perf/core
branch, that still needs some fixes for buiding on arm related to a
recent patchset for 'perf test' from Ian Rogers, as soon as that is
fixed it will be set in stone in perf/core.
