* perf, arch: Cleanup perf-pmu init vs lockup-detectorPeter Zijlstra2010-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot, some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall). The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall() and expects the hardware pmu to be present. Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit initcall right after that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drop this argument now that we always want to rewind only to the state of the first caller. It means frame pointers are not necessary anymore to reliably get the source of an event. But this also means we need this helper to be a macro now, as an inline function is not an option since we need to know when to provide a default implentation.

* perf, x86: Implement initial P4 PMU driverCyrill Gorcunov2010-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The netburst PMU is way different from the "architectural perfomance monitoring" specification that current CPUs use. P4 uses a tuple of ESCR+CCCR+COUNTER MSR registers to handle perfomance monitoring events. A few implementational details: 1) We need a separate x86_pmu::hw_config helper in struct x86_pmu since register bit-fields are quite different from P6, Core and later cpu series. 2) For the same reason is a x86_pmu::schedule_events helper introduced. 3) hw_perf_event::config consists of packed ESCR+CCCR values. It's allowed since in reality both registers only use a half of their size. Of course before making a real write into a particular MSR we need to unpack the value and extend it to a proper size. 4) The tuple of packed ESCR+CCCR in hw_perf_event::config doesn't describe the memory address of ESCR MSR register so that we need to keep a mapping between these tuples used and available ESCR (various P4 events may use same ESCRs but not simultaneously), for this sake every active event has a per-cpu map of hw_perf_event::idx <--> ESCR addresses. 5) Since hw_perf_event::idx is an offset to counter/control register we need to lift X86_PMC_MAX_GENERIC up, otherwise kernel strips it down to 8 registers and event armed may never be turned off (ie the bit in active_mask is set but the loop never reaches this index to check), thanks to Peter Zijlstra Restrictions: - No cascaded counters support (do we ever need them?) - No dependent events support (so PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS doesn't work for now) - There are events with same counters which can't work simultaneously (need to use intersected ones due to broken counter 1) - No PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_ events yet Todo: - Implement dependent events - Need proper hashing for event opcodes (no linear search, good for debugging stage but not in real loads) - Some events counted during a clock cycle -- need to set threshold for them and count every clock cycle just to get summary statistics (ie to behave the same way as other PMUs do) - Need to swicth to use event_constraints - To support RAW events we need to encode a global list of P4 events into p4_templates - Cache events need to be added Event support status matrix: Event status ----------------------------- cycles works cache-references works cache-misses works branch-misses works bus-cycles partially (does not work on 64bit cpu with HT enabled) instruction doesnt work (needs dependent event [mop tagging]) branches doesnt work Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <20100311165439.GB5129@lenovo> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* perf, x86: use LBR for PEBS IP+1 fixupPeter Zijlstra2010-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the LBR to fix up the PEBS IP+1 issue. As said, PEBS reports the next instruction, here we use the LBR to find the last branch and from that construct the actual IP. If the IP matches the LBR-TO, we use LBR-FROM, otherwise we use the LBR-TO address as the beginning of the last basic block and decode forward. Once we find a match to the current IP, we use the previous location. This patch introduces a new ABI element: PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT, which conveys that the reported IP (PERF_SAMPLE_IP) is the exact instruction that caused the event (barring CPU errata). The fixup can fail due to various reasons: 1) LBR contains invalid data (quite possible) 2) part of the basic block got paged out 3) the reported IP isn't part of the basic block (see 1) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: "Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: eranian@google.com Cc: robert.richter@amd.com Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com LKML-Reference: <20100304140100.619375431@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* | perf_events, x86: Improve x86 event schedulingStephane Eranian2010-01-29
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group. The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e., works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any counter. Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic. The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open(). The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

* perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar2009-09-21
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.
