[PATCH V2 0/3] Urgent fixes for Intel CQM/MBM counting

[Vikas Shivappa]

Sending some urgent fixes for the MBM(memory b/w monitoring) which is
upstreamed from 4.6-rc1. Patches apply on 4.6-rc1.

CQM and MBM counters reported some incorrect counts for different
scenarios like interval mode or for multiple perf instances. 

An updated V2 as per Peter feedback: fixing a few indenting issues and
adding some better changelogs/comments, Removed the patch to send error
for some broken features - since these were broken anyways since 4.1.

[PATCH 1/3] perf/x86/cqm,mbm: Store cqm,mbm count for all events when
[PATCH 2/3] perf/x86/mbm: Store bytes counted for mbm during recycle
[PATCH 3/3] perf/x86/mbm: Fix mbm counting when RMIDs are reused

[PATCH 1/3] perf/x86/cqm,mbm: Store cqm,mbm count for all events when RMID is recycled

[Vikas Shivappa]

During RMID recycling, when an event loses the RMID we saved the counter
for group leader but it was not being saved for all the events in an
event group. This would lead to a situation where if 2 perf instances
are counting the same PID one of them would not see the updated count
which other perf instance is seeing. This patch tries to fix the issue
by saving the count for all the events in the same event group.

[PATCH 2/3] perf/x86/mbm: Store bytes counted for mbm during recycle

[Vikas Shivappa]

For MBM, since we report total bytes for the duration the perf counts,
we need to keep the total bytes counted every time we loose an RMID.
Introduce rc_count(recycle count) per event
keep this history count(all bytes counted before the current RMID).

If we do not keep this count separately then we may end up sending a
count that may be less than the previous count during -I perf stat
option which leads to negative numbers being reported in the perf. This
happens say when we counted a greater amount with RMID1 and then
counted lesser with RMID2, and if user checks counts in interval mode
after RMID1 and then again after RMID2.

[PATCH 3/3] perf/x86/mbm: Fix mbm counting when RMIDs are reused

[Vikas Shivappa]

When multiple instances of perf reuse RMID for the same PID, then we
need to start counting from zero for each new event, rather than
reporting the current RMID count. This patch adds a st_count(start
count) 'per event' to track the same.

Note that this is different from the 'per rmid' start count. For the
first time an RMID is used we store the start_count for the 'per RMID'.
The 'per rmid' start_count is in the RMID data structure where as the
start count 'per event' is in the perf_event.

u64 read_sample(rmid) // for each rmid
{

start: // first call for the rmid
  'per rmid' prev = read_hw_counter();

count:
  cur_count = read_hw_counter();
  delta = cur_count - prev;
  prev = cur_count;
  total_bytes += delta;

  return total_bytes;
}

for each event -

start:
  if rmid is reused
   'per event' prev = read_sample(rmid);
  else
   prev = 0;

count:
  tmp = read_sample(rmid);
  count = tmp - prev;

For ex:
1.event1 gets RMID1. We read the hw_counter and set that as the RMID1's
start_count.
2.RMID1's total_bytes(this is current hw_count - start_count of the
  RMID) is 100MB for event1(PID1)
3.another perf instance starts measuring the same PID1 with event2. We
reuse RMID1 as the PID1 is already counted.
4.event2 stores st_count as 100MB.
5.After some time, when user wants to count event2 and say RMID1's
current total_bytes 110MB, we report 110MB - 100MB = 10MB

[Vikas Shivappa]

Sending some urgent fixes for the MBM(memory b/w monitoring) which is
upstreamed from 4.6-rc1. Patches apply on 4.6-rc6.

CQM and MBM counters reported some incorrect counts for different
scenarios like interval mode or for multiple perf instances. 

A second attempt to send V2 as per Peter feedback: 
fixing a few indenting issues and
adding some better changelogs/comments. Removed the patch to send error
for some broken features - since these were broken anyways since 4.1.
Removed the confusing rc_count and st_count and tried to implement close
to the perf way.
