As of Intel SDM (https://www.intel.com/sdm) version 076, there is a new
Intel PT feature called Event Trace which requires 2 new packets CFE and
EVD. Add them to the packet decoder and packet decoder test.
Committer notes:
I got the "Intel® 64 and IA-32 architectures software developer’s manual
combined volumes: 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 4" PDF at:
https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/671200
And these new packets are described in page 3951:
<quote>
32.2.4
Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the asynchronous
events, when they are generated, and when their corresponding software
event handler completes execution. These include:
o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt vector when
defined.
o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector.
— Page faults additionally include the page fault address, when in context.
o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM.
o VM exits and VM entries.¹
— VM exits include the values written to the “exit reason” and “exit qualification” VMCS fields.
INIT and SIPI events.
o TSX aborts, including the abort status returned for the RTM instructions.
o Shutdown.
Additionally, it provides indication of the status of the Interrupt Flag
(IF), to indicate when interrupts are masked.

The x86 instruction decoder is used for both kernel instructions and
user space instructions (e.g. uprobes, perf tools Intel PT), so it is
good to update it with new instructions.
Add AVX512-FP16 instructions to x86 instruction decoder test.
A subsequent patch adds the instructions to the instruction decoder.

Currently topdown events must appear after a slots event:
$ perf stat -e '{slots,topdown-fe-bound}' /bin/true
Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':
3,183,090 slots
986,133 topdown-fe-bound
Reversing the events yields:
$ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (topdown-fe-bound).
For metrics the order of events is determined by iterating over a
hashmap, and so slots isn't guaranteed to be first which can yield this
error.
Change the set_leader in parse-events, called when a group is closed, so
that rather than always making the first event the leader, if the slots
event exists then it is made the leader. It is then moved to the head of
the evlist otherwise it won't be opened in the correct order.
The result is:
$ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true
Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':
3,274,795 slots
1,001,702 topdown-fe-bound
A problem with this approach is the slots event is identified by name,
names can be overwritten like 'cpu/slots,name=foo/' and this causes the
leader change to fail.
The change also modifies and fixes mixed groups like, with the change:
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
5574985410 slots
971981616 instructions
1348461887 topdown-fe-bound
2.001263120 seconds time elapsed
Without the change:
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
<not counted> instructions
<not counted> slots
<not supported> topdown-fe-bound
2.006247990 seconds time elapsed
Something that may be undesirable here is that the events are reordered
in the output.

When perf report synthesize events from ARM SPE data, it refers to
current cpu, pid and tid in the machine. But there's no place to set
them in the ARM SPE decoder. I'm seeing all pid/tid is set to -1 and
user symbols are not resolved in the output.

# perf report -q | head

Like Intel PT, add context switch records to track task info. As ARM
SPE support was added later than PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE, I think
we can safely set the attr.context_switch bit and use it.

Perf tool sets exclude_guest by default while calling perf_event_open().
Because IBS does not have filtering capability, it always gets rejected
by IBS PMU driver and thus perf falls back to non-precise sampling. Fix
it by not setting exclude_guest by default on AMD.
Before:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -vvv true |& grep precise
precise_ip 3
decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
precise_ip 2
decreasing precise_ip by one (1)
precise_ip 1
decreasing precise_ip by one (0)
After:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -vvv true |& grep precise
precise_ip 3
decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
precise_ip 2
Committer notes:
Fixup init to zero for perf_env in older compilers:
arch/x86/util/evsel.c:15:26: error: missing field 'os_release' initializer [-Werror,-Wmissing-field-initializers]
struct perf_env env = {0};
^
Committer notes:
Namhyung remarked:
It'd be nice if it can cover explicit "-e cycles:pp" as well.
Ravi clarified:
For explicit :pp modifier, evsel->precise_max does not get set and thus perf
does not try with different attr->precise_ip values while exclude_guest set.
So no issue with explicit :pp:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -e cycles:pp -vvv |& grep "precise_ip\|exclude_guest"
precise_ip 2
exclude_guest 1
precise_ip 2
exclude_guest 1
switching off exclude_guest, exclude_host
precise_ip 2
^C
Also, with :P modifier, evsel->precise_max gets set but exclude_guest does
not and thus :P also works fine:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -e cycles:P -vvv |& grep "precise_ip\|exclude_guest"
precise_ip 3
decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
precise_ip 2
^C

If the 'perf iostat' user specifies two or more iio_root_ports and also
specifies the cpu(s) by -C which is not *connected to all* the above iio
ports, the iostat_print_metric() will run into trouble:
For example:
$ perf iostat list
S0-uncore_iio_0<0000:16>
S1-uncore_iio_0<0000:97> # <--- CPU 1 is located in the socket S0
$ perf iostat 0000:16,0000:97 -C 1 -- ls
port Inbound Read(MB) Inbound Write(MB) Outbound Read(MB) Outbound
Write(MB) ../perf-iostat: line 12: 104418 Segmentation fault
(core dumped) perf stat --iostat$DELIMITER$*
The core-dump stack says, in the above corner case, the returned
(struct perf_counts_values *) count will be NULL, and the caller
iostat_print_metric() apparently doesn't not handle this case.
433 struct perf_counts_values *count = perf_counts(evsel->counts, die, 0);
434
435 if (count->run && count->ena) {
(gdb) p count
$1 = (struct perf_counts_values *) 0x0
The deeper reason is that there are actually no statistics from the user
specified pair "iostat 0000:X, -C (disconnected) Y ", but let's fix it with
minimum cost by adding a NULL check in the user space.

A perf uncore PMU may have two PMU names, a real name and an alias. The
alias is exported at /sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore_*/alias.
The perf tool should support the alias as well.
Add alias_name in the struct perf_pmu to store the alias. For the PMU
which doesn't have an alias. It's NULL.
Introduce two X86 specific functions to retrieve the real name and the
alias separately.
Only go through the sysfs to retrieve the mapping between the real name
and the alias once. The result is cached in a list, uncore_pmu_list.
Nothing changed for the other ARCHs.
With the patch, the perf tool can monitor the PMU with either the real
name or the alias.
Use the real name,
$ perf stat -e uncore_cha_2/event=1/ -x,
4044879584,,uncore_cha_2/event=1/,2528059205,100.00,,
Use the alias,
$ perf stat -e uncore_type_0_2/event=1/ -x,
3659675336,,uncore_type_0_2/event=1/,2287306455,100.00,,
Committer notes:
Rename 'struct perf_pmu_alias_name' to 'pmu_alias', the 'perf_' prefix
should be used for libperf, things inside just tools/perf/ are being
moved away from that prefix.
Also 'pmu_alias' is shorter and reflects the abstraction.
Also don't use 'pmu' as the name for variables for that type, we should
use that for the 'struct perf_pmu' variables, avoiding confusion. Use
'pmu_alias' for 'struct pmu_alias' variables.

Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"In preparation of doing something about PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT I have
started cleaning up various pieces of code related to do_exit. Most of
that code I did not manage to get tested and reviewed before the merge
window opened but a handful of very useful cleanups are ready to be
merged.
The first change is simply the removal of the bdflush system call. The
code has now been disabled long enough that even the oldest userspace
working userspace setups anyone can find to test are fine with the
bdflush system call being removed.
Changing m68k fsp040_die to use force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) instead of
calling do_exit directly is interesting only in that it is nearly the
most difficult of the incorrect uses of do_exit to remove.
The change to the seccomp code to simply send a signal instead of
calling do_coredump directly is a very nice little cleanup made
possible by realizing the existing signal sending helpers were missing
a little bit of functionality that is easy to provide"
