perf: Add branch stack counters

2023-10-27T13:05:08+00:00

Currently, the additional information of a branch entry is stored in a u64 space. With more and more information added, the space is running out. For example, the information of occurrences of events will be added for each branch. Two places were suggested to append the counters. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230802215814.GH231007@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net/ One place is right after the flags of each branch entry. It changes the existing struct perf_branch_entry. The later ARCH specific implementation has to be really careful to consistently pick the right struct. The other place is right after the entire struct perf_branch_stack. The disadvantage is that the pointer of the extra space has to be recorded. The common interface perf_sample_save_brstack() has to be updated. The latter is much straightforward, and should be easily understood and maintained. It is implemented in the patch. Add a new branch sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COUNTERS, to indicate the event which is recorded in the branch info. The "u64 counters" may store the occurrences of several events. The information regarding the number of events/counters and the width of each counter should be exposed via sysfs as a reference for the perf tool. Define the branch_counter_nr and branch_counter_width ABI here. The support will be implemented later in the Intel-specific patch.

perf: Disallow mis-matched inherited group reads

2023-10-19T08:09:42+00:00

Because group consistency is non-atomic between parent (filedesc) and children (inherited) events, it is possible for PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read() to try and sum non-matching counter groups -- with non-sensical results. Add group_generation to distinguish the case where a parent group removes and adds an event and thus has the same number, but a different configuration of events as inherited groups. This became a problem when commit fa8c269353d5 ("perf/core: Invert perf_read_group() loops") flipped the order of child_list and sibling_list. Previously it would iterate the group (sibling_list) first, and for each sibling traverse the child_list. In this order, only the group composition of the parent is relevant. By flipping the order the group composition of the child (inherited) events becomes an issue and the mis-match in group composition becomes evident. That said; even prior to this commit, while reading of a group that is not equally inherited was not broken, it still made no sense. (Ab)use ECHILD as error return to indicate issues with child process group composition.

perf: Optimize perf_cgroup_switch()

2023-10-12T17:28:38+00:00

Namhyung reported that bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling") regresses context switch overhead when perf-cgroup is in use together with 'slow' PMUs like uncore. Specifically, perf_cgroup_switch()'s perf_ctx_disable() / ctx_sched_out() etc.. all iterate the full list of active PMUs for that CPU, even if they don't have cgroup events. Previously there was cgrp_cpuctx_list which linked the relevant PMUs together, but that got lost in the rework. Instead of re-instruducing a similar list, let the perf_event_pmu_context iteration skip those that do not have cgroup events. This avoids growing multiple versions of the perf_event_pmu_context iteration.
