perf evsel: Improve AMD IBS (Instruction-Based Sampling) error handling messages

2022-03-26T13:55:58+00:00

Improve the error message returned on failed perf_event_open() on AMD systems when using IBS (Instruction-Based Sampling). Output of executing 'perf record -e ibs_op// true' as a non root user BEFORE this patch (perf will add the 'u' modifier at the end to exclude kernel/hypervisor sampling): The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument)for event (ibs_op//u). /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information. Output after: AMD IBS can't exclude kernel events. Try running at a higher privilege level. Output of executing 'sudo perf record -e ibs_op// true' BEFORE this patch: Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (ibs_op//). /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information. Output after: Error: Invalid event (ibs_op//) in per-thread mode, enable system wide with '-a'. Folowing the suggestion: $ sudo perf record -a -e ibs_op// true [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.664 MB perf.data (194 samples) ] $ Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Boris Ostrovsky Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: João Martins Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Michael Petlan Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Rafael J.

perf evsel: Make evsel__env() always return a valid env

2022-03-22T21:36:02+00:00

It's possible to have an evsel and evsel->evlist populated without an evsel->evlist->env, when, e.g., cmd_record is in its error path. Future patches will add support for evsel__open_strerror to be able to customize error messaging based on perf_env__{arch,cpuid}, so let's have evsel__env return &perf_env instead of NULL in that case.

perf evsel: Add error message for unsupported branch stack cases

2022-03-07T17:49:09+00:00

EOPNOTSUPP is a possible return value when branch stacks are requested but they aren't enabled in the kernel or hardware. It's also returned if they aren't supported on the specific event type. The currently printed error message about sampling/overflow-interrupts is not correct in this case. Add a check for branch stacks before sample_period is checked because sample_period is also set (to the default value) when using branch stacks. Before this change (when branch stacks aren't supported): perf record -j any Error: cycles: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat' After this change: perf record -j any Error: cycles: PMU Hardware or event type doesn't support branch stack sampling.

perf evsel: Override attr->sample_period for non-libpfm4 events

2022-01-22T20:15:47+00:00

A previous patch preventing "attr->sample_period" values from being overridden in pfm events changed a related behaviour in arm-spe. Before said patch: perf record -c 10000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1 Would yield an SPE event with period=10000. After the patch, the period in "-c 10000" was being ignored because the arm-spe code initializes sample_period to a non-zero value. This patch restores the previous behaviour for non-libpfm4 events.

Pull perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: "New features: - Add 'trace' subcommand for 'perf ftrace', setting the stage for more 'perf ftrace' subcommands. Not using a subcommand yields the previous behaviour of 'perf ftrace'. - Add 'latency' subcommand to 'perf ftrace', that can use the function graph tracer or a BPF optimized one, via the -b/--use-bpf option. E.g.: $ sudo perf ftrace latency -a -T mutex_lock sleep 1 # DURATION | COUNT | GRAPH | 0 - 1 us | 4596 | ######################## | 1 - 2 us | 1680 | ######### | 2 - 4 us | 1106 | ##### | 4 - 8 us | 546 | ## | 8 - 16 us | 562 | ### | 16 - 32 us | 1 | | 32 - 64 us | 0 | | 64 - 128 us | 0 | | 128 - 256 us | 0 | | 256 - 512 us | 0 | | 512 - 1024 us | 0 | | 1 - 2 ms | 0 | | 2 - 4 ms | 0 | | 4 - 8 ms | 0 | | 8 - 16 ms | 0 | | 16 - 32 ms | 0 | | 32 - 64 ms | 0 | | 64 - 128 ms | 0 | | 128 - 256 ms | 0 | | 256 - 512 ms | 0 | | 512 - 1024 ms | 0 | | 1 - ... s | 0 | | The original implementation of this command was in the bcc tool. - Support --cputype option for hybrid events in 'perf stat'.

Arch specific: - Add events for Arm Neoverse N2 in the ARM JSON vendor event files - Support PERF_MEM_LVLNUM encodings in powerpc, that came from a single patch series, where I incorrectly merged the kernel bits, that were then reverted after coordination with Michael Ellerman and Stephen Rothwell. - Add ARM SPE total latency as PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT. - Update AMD documentation, with info on raw event encoding. - Add support for global and local variants of the "p_stage_cyc" sort key, applicable to perf.data files collected on powerpc. - Remove duplicate and incorrect aux size checks in the ARM CoreSight ETM code.

perf cpumap: Give CPUs their own type

2022-01-12T17:28:23+00:00

A common problem is confusing CPU map indices with the CPU, by wrapping the CPU with a struct then this is avoided. This approach is similar to atomic_t. Committer notes: To make it build with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 these files needed the conversions to 'struct perf_cpu' usage: tools/perf/util/bpf_counter.c tools/perf/util/bpf_counter_cgroup.c tools/perf/util/bpf_ftrace.c Also perf_env__get_cpu() was removed back in "perf cpumap: Switch cpu_map__build_map to cpu function".
