Some platforms have 'cluster' topology and CPUs in the cluster will
share resources like L3 Cache Tag (for HiSilicon Kunpeng SoC) or L2
cache (for Intel Jacobsville). Currently parsing and building cluster
topology have been supported since [1].
perf stat has already supported aggregation for other topologies like
die or socket, etc. It'll be useful to aggregate per-cluster to find
problems like L3T bandwidth contention.
This patch add support for "--per-cluster" option for per-cluster
aggregation. Also update the docs and related test. The output will
be like:
[root@localhost tmp]# perf stat -a -e LLC-load --per-cluster -- sleep 5
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S56-D0-CLS158 4 1,321,521,570 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS594 4 794,211,453 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1030 4 41,623 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1466 4 41,646 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1902 4 16,863 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS2338 4 15,721 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS2774 4 22,671 LLC-load
[...]
On a legacy system without cluster or cluster support, the output will
be look like:
[root@localhost perf]# perf stat -a -e cycles --per-cluster -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S56-D0-CLS0 64 18,011,485 cycles
S7182-D0-CLS0 64 16,548,835 cycles
Note that this patch doesn't mix the cluster information in the outputs
of --per-core to avoid breaking any tools/scripts using it.
Note that perf recently supports "--per-cache" aggregation, but it's not
the same with the cluster although cluster CPUs may share some cache
resources. For example on my machine all clusters within a die share the
same L3 cache:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list
0-31
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/cluster_cpus_list
0-3

On AMD machines, the perf stat STD output test failed like below:
$ sudo ./perf test -v 98
98: perf stat STD output linter :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 1841901
Checking STD output: no argswrong event metric.
expected 'GHz' in 108,121 stalled-cycles-frontend # 10.88% frontend cycles idle
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
perf stat STD output linter: FAILED!
This is because there are stalled-cycles-{frontend,backend} events are
used by default. The current logic checks the event_name array to find
which event it's running. But 'cycles' event comes before those stalled
cycles event and it matches first. So it tries to find 'GHz' metric
in the output (which is for the 'cycles') and fails.
Move the stalled-cycles-{frontend,backend} events before 'cycles' so
that it can find the stalled cycles events first.
Also add a space after 'no args' test name for consistency.

The commit fc51fc87b1 factored out the helper functions to a library
but the new file had execute permission. Due to the way it detects
the shell test scripts, it showed up in the perf test list unexpectedly.
$ ./perf test list 2>&1 | grep 86
76: x86 bp modify
77: x86 Sample parsing
78: x86 hybrid
86: <---- (here)
$ ./perf test -v 86
86: :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 1932207
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
: Ok
As it's a collection of library functions, it should not run as is.
Let's remove the execute permission.
