nit: I think it'd be nice to comment that PERF_REG_X86_SSP and
PERF_REG_X86_XMM0 are both 32, the meaning of the register is
dependent on the PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD, 0 meaning XMM0 and 1
meaning SSP (which could be the opposite of what would be expected).

nit: for a non-x86 audience who may think a word is more than 2 bytes,
I think it would be nice to comment that a QWORD is 8 bytes. I don't
see other mentions of the unit of length in the kernel headers.

nit: I think this comment could be clearer, perhaps:
If sample_simd_regs_enabled is non-zero then the following
sampled_simd values define a set of SIMD registers to dump in all
samples. Each register is defined as a bitmap position in
(pred|vec)_reg_(intr|user) and the width of the register in qwords
(8-bytes) is given in (pred|vec)_reg_qwords. If sample_simd_regs is 0
then the vector registers may be dumped if they are in use. To
determine if all or a subset of the registers are dumped, and the
register width, the sample contains the values nr_vectors,
vector_qwords, nr_pred and pred_qwords.
Note, it is particularly the notion of "config all SIMD registers"
that I'm having a hard time being clear on here.

nit: I wonder if "enabled" is the right name here as the value being 0
means the vector register may be dumped. Perhaps
sample_simd_regs_full.

PERF_REG_X86_SSP is actually 40 instead of 32 in current table. We have
added comment (above PERF_REG_X86_R16) to declare that the indexes are
overlapped. But I suppose the comment can be optimized further.

Sure. I would enhance the comment and make it clearer.

Hmm, the "enabled" word could still be the best name which I can image. The
"enabled" here is to represent if the below "sample_simd_xxx" fields are
effective and should be parsed. I admit the XMM registers could be sampled
even sample_simd_regs_enabled is 0, but it has nothing to do with these
newly added "sample_simd_xxx" fields.

This patch adds support for sampling x86 extended GP registers (R16-R31)
and the shadow stack pointer (SSP) register.
The original XMM registers space in sample_regs_user/sample_regs_intr is
reclaimed to represent the eGPRs and SSP when SIMD registers sampling is
supported with the new SIMD sampling fields in the perf_event_attr
structure. This necessitates a way to distinguish which register layout
is used for the sample_regs_user/sample_regs_intr bitmap.
To address this, a new "abi" argument is added to the helpers
perf_intr_reg_mask(), perf_user_reg_mask(), and perf_reg_name(). When
"abi & PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD" is true, it indicates the eGPRs and SSP
layout is represented; otherwise, the legacy XMM registers are
represented.

It is tempting for clarity to add the ABI to perf_reg_name as the first patch.

I wonder if abi is the right out argument name here. Before the SIMD
change the ABI meant either 32 or 64-bit. So we could imagine if it
were 32-bit then registers R8 to R15 wouldn't be in the mask for x86.
Perhaps just a "bool *" for sample_simd_regs_enabled.
Everything else looks good. Thanks for the weak function clean up,
this code is much more generic and better than before. I know it
wasn't trivial to do, but I appreciate it!
Thanks,
Ian

Hmm, I ever concerned to add a "bool *simd_enabled" argument as well, but
it looks a little bit weird and abrupt since other architectures may never
need to use this argument. Instead, "abi" is neutral argument and it may be
needed by other architectures in the future.

Thanks a lot for your meticulous reviewing as well. :)

This patch adds support for the newly introduced SIMD register sampling
format by adding the following 5 functions:
uint64_t perf_intr_simd_reg_class_mask(uint16_t e_machine, bool pred);
uint64_t perf_user_simd_reg_class_mask(uint16_t e_machine, bool pred);
uint64_t perf_intr_simd_reg_class_bitmap_qwords(uint16_t e_machine, int reg_c,
uint16_t *qwords, bool pred);
uint64_t perf_user_simd_reg_class_bitmap_qwords(uint16_t e_machine, int reg_c,
uint16_t *qwords, bool pred);
const char *perf_simd_reg_class_name(uint16_t e_machine, int id, bool pred);
The perf_{intr|user}_simd_reg_class_mask() functions retrieve the bitmap
of kernel supported SIMD/PRED register classes on current platform for
intr-regs and user-regs sampling, such as OPMASK/XMM/YMM/ZMM on
x86 platforms.
The perf_{intr|user}_simd_reg_class_bitmap_qwords() functions retrieve
the bitmap and qwords length of a certain class of SIMD/PRED register
on current platform for intr-regs and user-regs sampling. For example,
for the XMM registers on x86 platforms, the returned bitmap is 0xffff
(XMM0 ~ XMM15) and the qwords length is 2 (128 bits for each XMM
register).
The perf_simd_reg_class_name() function gets the register class name for
a certain register class index.
Additionally, the function __parse_regs() is enhanced to support parsing
these newly introduced SIMD/PRED registers. Currently, each class of
register can only be sampled collectively; sampling a specific SIMD
register is not supported. For example, all XMM registers are sampled
together rather than sampling only XMM0.
When multiple overlapping register types, such as XMM and YMM, are
sampled simultaneously, only the superset (YMM registers) is sampled.
With this patch, all supported sampling registers on x86 platforms are
displayed as follows.

This patch adds support for dumping SIMD registers using the new
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD ABI.
Currently, the XMM, YMM, ZMM, OPMASK, eGPRs, and SSP registers on x86
platforms are supported with the PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD ABI.
An example of the output is displayed below.
Example:
$perf record -e cycles:p -IXMM,YMM,OPMASK,SSP ./test
$perf report -D

The parsing support is also added, so I think it should be "parsing
and dumping" here and in the message subject.

It could be nice to add asserts for the comments:
```
* u16 nr_vectors; # 0 ...
weight(sample_simd_vec_reg_user)
* u16 vector_qwords; # 0 ...
sample_simd_vec_reg_qwords
* u16 nr_pred; # 0 ...
weight(sample_simd_pred_reg_user)
* u16 pred_qwords; # 0 ...
sample_simd_pred_reg_qwords
* u64 data[nr_vectors * vector_qwords + nr_pred *
pred_qwords];
```
ie:
```
assert(regs->nr_vectors <= hweight64(
evsel->core.attr.sample_simd_vec_reg_user));
assert(regs->vector_qwords <= evsel->core.attr.sample_simd_vec_reg_qwords);
assert(regs->nr_vectors <= hweight64(
evsel->core.attr.sample_simd_pred_reg_user));
assert(regs->vector_qwords <= evsel->core.attr.sample_simd_pred_reg_qwords);
```

As above but for intr:
```
assert(regs->nr_vectors <= hweight64(
evsel->core.attr.sample_simd_vec_reg_intr));
assert(regs->vector_qwords <= evsel->core.attr.sample_simd_vec_reg_qwords);

I think "data" is a bit generic here and could be confused with regs,
perhaps "simd_data" for clarity.

Rather than EM_HOST here, can e_machine be an argument to the
function? That way we can x86 SIMD registers on a non-x86 machine.

Is 'i' the correct value to dump here? If the bitmap of pred or vec
registers has gaps in it then we may dump say "YMM0" and "YMM1" for a
bitmap of say "YMM0" and "YMM2". I think you may need to do something
like bitmap's for_each_set_bit.

This isn't testing PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD and reports "32-bit" if
both ABI_32 and ABI_64 are set, which is a little surprising. Perhaps:
```
const char *regs_abi[] = {
[PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_32] = "32-bit",
[PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_64] = "64-bit",
[PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD | PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_64] = "SIMD",
}
if (d->abi >= ARRAY_SIZE(regs_abi) || !regs_abi[d->abi])
return "unknown";
return regs_abi[d->abi];
```
Thanks,
Ian

Good idea. Would do.

Currently the SIMD registers can only be sampled as a whole, so there
should be a hole in the registers bitmap, and I think we don't need to
worry this.
BTW, I looked the code, it seems quite hard to get the "sample_simd_xxx"
registers bitmap in this function ...

I'm not sure if we should return "SIMD" for this function when
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD is set. The original regs_dump_abi() only returns
"32-bit" or "64 bit". If we really want to highlight the SIMD, maybe we can
return "64-bit SIMD".
Thanks.
