Subject: [PATCH 06/23] perf vendor events intel: Add NO_NMI_WATCHDOG metric constraint
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2020 18:32:42 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200317213259.15494-7-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200317213259.15494-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

Add NO_NMI_WATCHDOG metric constraint to Page_Walks_Utilization for Sky Lake
and Cascade Lake.

Committer testing:

On a Lenovo T480S, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8650U Kaby Lake, that looking at x86's
mapfile.csv file is a:

  $ grep -w skylake tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/mapfile.csv
  GenuineIntel-6-[4589]E,v24,skylake,core
  $

So uses the constraint added in this patch in this file:

  tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/skylake/skl-metrics.json

Before:

  # perf stat -a -M Page_Walks_Utilization sleep 2

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       <not counted>      itlb_misses.walk_pending                                      (0.00%)
       <not counted>      dtlb_load_misses.walk_pending                                     (0.00%)
       <not counted>      dtlb_store_misses.walk_pending                                     (0.00%)
       <not counted>      ept.walk_pending                                              (0.00%)
       <not counted>      cycles                                                        (0.00%)

         2.001750514 seconds time elapsed

  Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog:
  	echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
  	perf stat ...
  	echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
  The events in group usually have to be from the same PMU. Try reorganizing the group.
  #

After:

  # perf stat -a -M Page_Walks_Utilization sleep 2
  Splitting metric group Page_Walks_Utilization into standalone metrics.
  Try disabling the NMI watchdog to comply NO_NMI_WATCHDOG metric constraint:
      echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
      perf stat ...
      echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
  ,
   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

          36,883,102      itlb_misses.walk_pending  #      0.1 Page_Walks_Utilization   (79.99%)
         123,104,146      dtlb_load_misses.walk_pending                                     (80.02%)
          13,720,795      dtlb_store_misses.walk_pending                                     (79.99%)
                   0      ept.walk_pending                                              (79.99%)

         2.002170780 seconds time elapsed

  #

Before and after, if we disable the nmi_watchdog we get:

  # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
  # perf stat -a -M Page_Walks_Utilization sleep 2

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

          33,721,658      itlb_misses.walk_pending  #      0.1 Page_Walks_Utilization
