[PATCH v2 0/8] ARCv2 port to Linux - (C) perf

[PATCH v2 0/8] ARCv2 port to Linux - (C) perf

[Alexey Brodkin]

Hi Peter,

This mini-series adds perf support for ARCv2 based cores, which brings in
overflow interupts and SMP. Additionally now raw events are supported as well.

Please review !

Compared to v1 this series has:
 [1] Addressed review comments
 [2] More verbose commit messages and comments in sources
 [3] Minor cosmetics

Thanks,
Alexey


Alexey Brodkin (6):
  ARC: perf: support RAW events
  ARCv2: perf: implement "event_set_period" for future use with
    interrupts
  ARCv2: perf: Support sampling events using overflow interrupts
  ARCv2: perf: set usable max period as a half of real max period
  ARCv2: perf: implement exclusion of event counting in user or kernel
    mode
  ARCv2: perf: SMP support

Vineet Gupta (2):
  ARC: perf: cap the number of counters to hardware max of 32
  ARCv2: perf: Finally introduce HS perf unit

[PATCH v2 1/8] ARC: perf: support RAW events

[Alexey Brodkin]

To run perf against raw event user may issue following command:
 -------------->-------------
 # perf stat -e r6372756e ls -la /proc > /dev/null

  Performance counter stats for 'ls -la /proc':

            7336905      r6372756e

        0.085494733 seconds time elapsed
 -------------->-------------

"-e rXXX" is indication of raw event to count.
XXX is 64-bit ASCII value.
0x6372756e = crun (in ASCII)

Compared to v1:
 [1] Swapping of event names moved to probe routine so now we're closer to
     real raw event in terms of accepting exactly what user entered.
 [2] Added comment in sources that explains logic for swapping etc.
 [3] Cosmetics

[PATCH v2 3/8] ARCv2: perf: implement "event_set_period" for future use with interrupts

[Alexey Brodkin]

This generalization prepares for support of overflow interrupts.

Hardware event counters on ARC work that way:
Each counter counts from programmed start value (set in
ARC_REG_PCT_COUNT) to a limit value (set in ARC_REG_PCT_INT_CNT) and
once limit value is reached this timer generates an interrupt.

Even though this hardware implementation allows for more flexibility,
in Linux kernel we decided to mimic behavior of other architectures this
way:

 [1] Set limit value as half of counter's max value (to allow counter to
     run after reaching it limit, see below for more explanation):
 ---------->8-----------
 arc_pmu->max_period = (1ULL << counter_size) / 2 - 1ULL;
 ---------->8-----------

 [2] Set start value as "arc_pmu->max_period - sample_period" and then
count up to the limit

Our event counters don't stop on reaching max value (the one we set in
ARC_REG_PCT_INT_CNT) but continue to count until kernel explicitly
stops each of them.

And setting a limit as half of counter capacity is done to allow
capturing of additional events in between moment when interrupt was
triggered until we're actually processing PMU interrupts. That way
we're trying to be more precise.

For example if we count CPU cycles we keep track of cycles while
running through generic IRQ handling code:

 [1] We set counter period as say 100_000 events of type "crun"
 [2] Counter reaches that limit and raises its interrupt
 [3] Once we get in PMU IRQ handler we read current counter value from
ARC_REG_PCT_SNAP ans see there something like 105_000.

If counters stop on reaching a limit value then we would miss
additional 5000 cycles.

Compared to v1:
 [1] Added verbose commit message with explanation of how PCT HW works on ARC
 [2] Simplified arc_perf_event_update()
 [3] Removed check for is_sampling_event() because we already set
     PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_INTERRUPT in probe()
 [4] Minor cosmetics

 [1] Set limit value as half of counter's max value (to allow counter to
     run after reaching it limit, see below for more explanation):
 ---------->8-----------
 arc_pmu->max_period = (1ULL << counter_size) / 2 - 1ULL;
 ---------->8-----------

 [2] Set start value as "arc_pmu->max_period - sample_period" and then
count up to the limit

Our event counters don't stop on reaching max value (the one we set in
ARC_REG_PCT_INT_CNT) but continue to count until kernel explicitly
stops each of them.

And setting a limit as half of counter capacity is done to allow
capturing of additional events in between moment when interrupt was
triggered until we're actually processing PMU interrupts. That way
we're trying to be more precise.

For example if we count CPU cycles we keep track of cycles while
running through generic IRQ handling code:

 [1] We set counter period as say 100_000 events of type "crun"
 [2] Counter reaches that limit and raises its interrupt
 [3] Once we get in PMU IRQ handler we read current counter value from
ARC_REG_PCT_SNAP ans see there something like 105_000.

If counters stop on reaching a limit value then we would miss
additional 5000 cycles.

My comment was a bit too early.
That "/2" was actually introduced in the subsequent commit.

Do you think I need to do a re-spin of that patch with commit
message which matches real code (i.e. no "/2")?

Probably another good solution for that coupl be merging of 2 following patches in one:
 [1]  [PATCH v2 3/8] ARCv2: perf: implement "event_set_period" for future use with interrupts
 [2] [PATCH v2 5/8] ARCv2: perf: set usable max period as a half of real max period

And then comment will become valid.

Given that you set counter_size to 32+bct_bcr.s << 4, I'm assuming these
counters are not 64bit wide (or at least the hardware has the option of
not being full width).

That means this local64_set() is wrong.

The purpose here is to emulate a longer period with a short counter. So
even though we have to take the interrupt to observe the counter width
overflow and reprogram, we must not decrease the @left value.

Doing so will trigger one of the above two cases and result in @overflow
== 1, even though we've not actually had hwc->sample_period counts.

Indeed our counters could be 32/48(default)/64 bits wide.

You mean the one used for setting "hwc->period_left"?

My understanding was that here we're just checking if for some reason in
arc_perf_event_update() we decremented "hwc->period_left" too much
and it became either just <0 or even <(0 - period). IMHO that may happen
if not in sampling even case (where we expect interrupt to happen close
to a period being crossed) but in case of non-sampling event IMHO that
is pretty possible if frequency of checking counter value is way too low.

[PATCH v2 4/8] ARCv2: perf: Support sampling events using overflow interrupts

[Alexey Brodkin]

In times of ARC 700 performance counters didn't have support of
interrupt an so for ARC we only had support of non-sampling events.

Put simply only "perf stat" was functional.

Now with ARC HS we have support of interrupts in performance counters
which this change introduces support of.

ARC performance counters act in the following way in regard of
interrupts generation.
 [1] A counter counts starting from value set in PCT_COUNT register pair
 [2] Once counter reaches value set in PCT_INT_CNT interrupt is raised

Basic setup look like this:
 [1] PCT_COUNT = 0;
 [2] PCT_INT_CNT = __limit_value__;
 [3] Enable interrupts for that counter and let it run
 [4] Let counter reach its limit
 [5] Handle interrupt when it happens

Note that PCT HW block is build in CPU core and so ints interrupt
line (which is basically OR of all counters IRQs) is wired directly to
top-level IRQC. That means do de-assert PCT interrupt it's required to
reset IRQs from all counters that have reached their limit values.

[PATCH v2 4/8] ARCv2: perf: Support sampling events using overflow interrupts

[Alexey Brodkin]

In times of ARC 700 performance counters didn't have support of
interrupt an so for ARC we only had support of non-sampling events.

Put simply only "perf stat" was functional.

Now with ARC HS we have support of interrupts in performance counters
which this change introduces support of.

ARC performance counters act in the following way in regard of
interrupts generation.
 [1] A counter counts starting from value set in PCT_COUNT register pair
 [2] Once counter reaches value set in PCT_INT_CNT interrupt is raised

Basic setup look like this:
 [1] PCT_COUNT = 0;
 [2] PCT_INT_CNT = __limit_value__;
 [3] Enable interrupts for that counter and let it run
 [4] Let counter reach its limit
 [5] Handle interrupt when it happens

Note that PCT HW block is build in CPU core and so ints interrupt
line (which is basically OR of all counters IRQs) is wired directly to
top-level IRQC. That means do de-assert PCT interrupt it's required to
reset IRQs from all counters that have reached their limit values.

Compared to v1:
 [1] Added commit message
 [2] Removed check for is_sampling_event() because we already set
     PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_INTERRUPT in probe()
 [3] Minor cosmetics

*confused* pmu::add should only start on flags & PERF_EF_START, and then
we start with hwc->sample_period, not the max_period.

Did you mean here that we should enable interrupts in arc_pmu_start() but not
in arc_pmu_add()?

[PATCH v2 5/8] ARCv2: perf: set usable max period as a half of real max period

[Alexey Brodkin]

Overflow interrupt happens when counter reaches a limit which we set as a
maximum value of the counter.

But for better precision counter continues registration of assigned events
even after reaching pre-defined limit. To not really overlap we leave half
of the counter values free.

So I would still very much like perf_event_attr::config to reflect the
value you'll program into hardware.

If you want to do that weird 4 character lookup thing, use a special
hardware event (possibly 0 if that is not a valid value), and stuff the
4 chars in ::config1

Ok I understand your concern here but I cannot quite understand
what do you mean saying "stuff the 4 chars in ::config1".

Could you please explain this a bit more verbose?
Is there an example of something similar I may take a look at?
