perf pmu: Improve name/comments, avoid a memory allocation

2023-04-07T00:54:01+00:00

Improve documentation around perf_pmu_alias pmu_name and on functions. Reduce the scope of pmu_uncore_alias_match to just file. Rename perf_pmu__valid_suffix to the more revealing perf_pmu__match_ignoring_suffix. Add a short-cut to perf_pmu__match_ignoring_suffix for PMU names that don't also have a socket value, and can therefore avoid a memory allocation.

perf pmu: Make parser reentrant

2023-04-07T00:40:28+00:00

By default bison uses global state for compatibility with yacc. Make the parser reentrant so that it may be used in asynchronous and multithreaded situations.

perf pmu: Add perf_pmu__{open,scan}_file_at()

2023-04-04T16:23:59+00:00

These two helpers will also use openat() to reduce the overhead with relative pathnames. Convert other functions in pmu_lookup() to use the new helpers.

perf pmu: Use relative path for sysfs scan

2023-04-04T16:23:58+00:00

The PMU information is in the kernel sysfs so it needs to scan the directory to get the whole information like event aliases, formats and so on. During the traversal, it opens a lot of files and directories like below: dir = opendir("/sys/bus/event_source/devices"); while (dentry = readdir(dir)) { char buf[PATH_MAX]; snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s/%s", "/sys/bus/event_source/devices", dentry->d_name); fd = open(buf, O_RDONLY); ... } But this is not good since it needs to copy the string to build the absolute pathname, and it makes redundant pathname walk (from the /sys) unnecessarily. We can use openat(2) to open the file in the given directory. While it's not a problem ususally, it can be a problem when the kernel has contentions on the sysfs. Add a couple of new helper to return the file descriptor of PMU directory so that it can use it with relative paths. * perf_pmu__event_source_devices_fd() - returns a fd for the PMU root ("/sys/bus/event_source/devices") * perf_pmu__pathname_fd() - returns a fd for "/" under the PMU root Now the above code can be converted something like below: dirfd = perf_pmu__event_source_devices_fd(); dir = fdopendir(dirfd); while (dentry = readdir(dir)) { fd = openat(dirfd, dentry->d_name, O_RDONLY); ... } Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Acked-by: Ian Rogers Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Leo Yan Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230331202949.810326-2-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf pmu-events: Introduce pmu_metrics_table

2023-02-03T16:54:21+00:00

Add a metrics table that is just a cast from pmu_events_table. This changes the APIs so that event and metric usage of the underlying table is different. For the no jevents case the tables are already separate, later changes will separate the tables for the jevents case.

perf pmu-events: Remove now unused event and metric variables

2023-02-03T16:54:21+00:00

Previous changes separated the uses of pmu_event and pmu_metric, however, both structures contained all the variables of event and metric. This change removes the event variables from metric and the metric variables from event. Note, this change removes the setting of evsel's metric_name/expr as these fields are no longer part of struct pmu_event. The metric remains but is no longer implicitly requested when the event is. This impacts a few Intel uncore events, however, as the ScaleUnit is shared by the event and the metric this utility is questionable. Also the MetricNames look broken (contain spaces) in some cases and when trying to use the functionality with '-e' the metrics fail but regular metrics with '-M' work. For example, on SkylakeX '-M' works: ``` $ perf stat -M LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 0 UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART2 # 57896.0 Bytes LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE (49.84%) 7,174 UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART1 (49.85%) 0 UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART3 (50.16%) 63 UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART0 (50.15%) 1.004576381 seconds time elapsed ``` whilst the event '-e' version is broken even with --group/-g (fwiw, we should also remove -g [1]): ``` $ perf stat -g -e LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE -g -a sleep 1 Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART2 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART1 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART3 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART0 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART2 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART1 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART3 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART0 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART2 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART1 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART3 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART0 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART2 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART1 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART3 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART0 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART2 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART1 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART3 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART0 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART2 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART1 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART3 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART0 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 27,316 Bytes LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE 1.004505469 seconds time elapsed ``` The code also carries warnings where the user is supposed to select events for metrics [2] but given the lack of use of such a feature, let's clean the code and just remove.
