[PATCH v2 0/8] perf: Support perf-mem/perf-c2c for AlderLake

[PATCH v2 0/8] perf: Support perf-mem/perf-c2c for AlderLake

[Jin Yao]

AlderLake uses a hybrid architecture utilizing Golden Cove cores
(core CPU) and Gracemont cores (atom CPU). This patchset supports
perf-mem and perf-c2c for AlderLake.

v2:
---
- Use mem_loads_name__init to keep original behavior for non-hybrid platform.
- Move x86 specific perf_mem_events[] to arch/x86/util/mem-events.c.
- Move mem-store event to a new patch.
- Add a new patch to fix wrong verbose output for recording events
- Add a new patch to disable 'mem-loads-aux' group before reporting

Jin Yao (8):
  perf tools: Check mem-loads auxiliary event
  perf tools: Support pmu prefix for mem-load event
  perf tools: Support pmu prefix for mem-store event
  perf tools: Check if mem_events is supported for hybrid platform
  perf mem: Support record for hybrid platform
  perf mem: Fix wrong verbose output for recording events
  perf mem: Disable 'mem-loads-aux' group before reporting
  perf c2c: Support record for hybrid platform

[PATCH v2 1/8] perf tools: Check mem-loads auxiliary event

[Jin Yao]

For some platforms, an auxiliary event has to be enabled
simultaneously with the load latency event.

For Alderlake, the auxiliary event is created in "cpu_core" pmu.

So first we need to check the existing of "cpu_core" pmu
and then check if this pmu has auxiliary event.

[PATCH v2 2/8] perf tools: Support pmu prefix for mem-load event

[Jin Yao]

The perf_mem_events__name() can generate the mem-load event name.
It uses a variable 'mem_loads_name__init' to avoid generating the
event name every time (because perf_pmu__scan takes some time).

The perf_mem_events__name() assumes the pmu is "cpu" but it's not
correct for hybrid platform. For Alderlake, the pmu is "cpu_core" or
"cpu_atom"

Introduce a new parameter 'pmu_name' in perf_mem_events__name
to let the caller specify a pmu name.

Considering such event name is x86 specific, so move
perf_mem_events[] to arch/x86/util/mem-events.c.

We still keep the variable 'mem_loads_name__init' but it's only
used when pmu_name is NULL (compatible for original behavior). When
pmu_name is not NULL (e.g. "cpu_core"), this patch doesn't have
optimization. That can be implemented in follow up patch.

v2:
 - Move perf_mem_events[] to x86 specific file.
 - Create x86 specific perf_mem_events__ptr().
 - Use mem_loads_name__init for keeping original behavior
   on non-hybrid platform.

[PATCH v2 4/8] perf tools: Check if mem_events is supported for hybrid platform

[Jin Yao]

Check if the mem_events ('mem-loads' and 'mem-stores') exist
in the sysfs path.

For Alderlake, the hybrid cpu pmu are "cpu_core" and "cpu_atom".
Check the existing of following paths:

/sys/devices/cpu_atom/events/mem-loads
/sys/devices/cpu_atom/events/mem-stores
/sys/devices/cpu_core/events/mem-loads
/sys/devices/cpu_core/events/mem-stores

If the patch exists, the mem_event is supported.

such as Alderlake, when executing 'perf mem record', it actually calls:

       -e cpu_atom/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P
       -e cpu_core/mem-stores/P

[PATCH v2 6/8] perf mem: Fix wrong verbose output for recording events

[Jin Yao]

Current code:

for (j = 0; j < argc; j++, i++)
        rec_argv[i] = argv[j];

if (verbose > 0) {
        pr_debug("calling: record ");

        while (rec_argv[j]) {
                pr_debug("%s ", rec_argv[j]);
                j++;
        }
        pr_debug("\n");
}

The entries of argv[] are copied to the end of rec_argv[], not
copied to the beginning of rec_argv[]. So the index j at
rec_argv[] doesn't point to the first event.

Now we record the start index and end index for events in rec_argv[],
and print them if verbose is enabled.

[PATCH v2 7/8] perf mem: Disable 'mem-loads-aux' group before reporting

[Jin Yao]

For some platforms, such as Alderlake, the 'mem-loads' event is required
to use together with 'mem-loads-aux' within a group and 'mem-loads-aux'
must be the group leader. Now we disable this group before reporting
because 'mem-loads-aux' is just an auxiliary event. It doesn't carry
any valid memory load result. If we show the 'mem-loads-aux' +
'mem-loads' as a group in report, it needs many of changes but they
are totally unnecessary.

[PATCH v2 8/8] perf c2c: Support record for hybrid platform

[Jin Yao]

Support 'perf c2c record' for hybrid platform. On hybrid platform,
such as Alderlake, when executing 'perf c2c record', it actually calls:

record -W -d --phys-data --sample-cpu
-e {cpu_core/mem-loads-aux/,cpu_core/mem-loads,ldlat=30/}:P
-e cpu_atom/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P
-e cpu_core/mem-stores/P
-e cpu_atom/mem-stores/P

v2:
 - For hybrid, rec_argc = argc + 11 * perf_pmu__hybrid_pmu_num().
 - Directly 'free(rec_tmp[i])', don't need to check NULL.

perf c2c is a bit different. It sets 'j = 0;' before 'while' loop so it prints all of rec_argv[].

In test,

# perf c2c record -vvv -a -- sleep 1

calling: record -W -d --phys-data --sample-cpu -e 
{cpu_core/mem-loads-aux/,cpu_core/mem-loads,ldlat=30/}:P -e cpu_atom/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P -e 
cpu_core/mem-stores/P -e cpu_atom/mem-stores/P -a sleep 1

The verbose output looks OK.
