Commit 54f9aa1092 ("tools/perf/powerpc/util: Add support to
handle compatible mode PVR for perf json events") introduced
to select proper JSON events in case of compat mode using
auxiliary vector. But this caused a compilation error in ppc64
Big Endian.
arch/powerpc/util/header.c: In function 'is_compat_mode':
arch/powerpc/util/header.c:20:21: error: cast to pointer from
integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
20 | if (!strcmp((char *)platform, (char *)base_platform))

Commit saved the getauxval(AT_BASE_PLATFORM) and getauxval(AT_PLATFORM)
return values in u64 which causes the compilation error.
Patch fixes this issue by changing u64 to "unsigned long".

perf list picks the events supported for specific platform
from pmu-events/arch/powerpc/<platform>. Example power10 events
are in pmu-events/arch/powerpc/power10, power9 events are part
of pmu-events/arch/powerpc/power9. The decision of which
platform to pick is determined based on PVR value in powerpc.
The PVR value is matched from pmu-events/arch/powerpc/mapfile.csv
Example:
Format:
PVR,Version,JSON/file/pathname,Type
0x004[bcd][[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power8,core
0x0066[[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power8,core
0x004e[[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power9,core
0x0080[[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power10,core
0x0082[[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power10,core
The code gets the PVR from system using get_cpuid_str function
in arch/powerpc/util/headers.c ( from SPRN_PVR ) and compares
with value from mapfile.csv
In case of compat mode, say when partition is booted in a power9
mode when the system is a power10, this picks incorrectly. Because
PVR will point to power10 where as it should pick events from power9
folder. To support generic events, add new folder
pmu-events/arch/powerpc/compat to contain the ISA architected events
which is supported in compat mode. Also return 0x00ffffff as pvr
when booted in compat mode. Based on this pvr value, json will
pick events from pmu-events/arch/powerpc/compat

Currently, the perf tool infrastructure uses the disasm_line__parse
function to parse disassembled line.
Example snippet from objdump:
objdump --start-address=<address> --stop-address=<address> -d --no-show-raw-insn -C <vmlinux>
c0000000010224b4: lwz r10,0(r9)
This line "lwz r10,0(r9)" is parsed to extract instruction name,
registers names and offset.
In powerpc, the approach for data type profiling uses raw instruction
instead of result from objdump to identify the instruction category and
extract the source/target registers.
Example: 38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)
Here "38 01 81 e8" is the raw instruction representation. Add function
"disasm_line__parse_powerpc" to handle parsing of raw instruction.
Also update "struct disasm_line" to save the binary code/
With the change, function captures:
line -> "38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)"
raw instruction "38 01 81 e8"
Raw instruction is used later to extract the reg/offset fields. Macros
are added to extract opcode and register fields. "struct disasm_line"
is updated to carry union of "bytes" and "raw_insn" of 32 bit to carry raw
code (raw).
Function "disasm_line__parse_powerpc fills the raw instruction hex value
and can use macros to get opcode. There is no changes in existing code
paths, which parses the disassembled code. The size of raw instruction
depends on architecture.
In case of powerpc, the parsing the disasm line needs to handle cases
for reading binary code directly from DSO as well as parsing the objdump
result. Hence adding the logic into separate function instead of
updating "disasm_line__parse". The architecture using the instruction
name and present approach is not altered. Since this approach targets
powerpc, the macro implementation is added for powerpc as of now.
Since the disasm_line__parse is used in other cases (perf annotate) and
not only data tye profiling, the powerpc callback includes changes to
work with binary code as well as mnemonic representation.
Also in case if the DSO read fails and libcapstone is not supported, the
approach fallback to use objdump as option. Hence as option, patch has
changes to ensure objdump option also works well.

Simple expression parser test fails in powerpc as below:
4: Simple expression parser
test child forked, pid 170385
Using CPUID 004e2102
division by zero
syntax error
syntax error
FAILED tests/expr.c:65 parse test failed
test child finished with -1
Simple expression parser: FAILED!
This is observed after commit:
'commit 9d5da30e4a ("perf jevents: Add a new expression builtin strcmp_cpuid_str()")'
With this commit, a new expression builtin strcmp_cpuid_str
got added. This function takes an 'ID' type value, which is
a string. So expression parse for strcmp_cpuid_str expects
const char * as cpuid value type. In case of powerpc, CPU IDs
are numbers. Hence it doesn't get interpreted correctly by
bison parser. Example in case of power9, cpuid string returns
as: 004e2102
cpuid of string type is expected in two cases:
1. char *get_cpuid_str(struct perf_pmu *pmu __maybe_unused);
Testcase "tests/expr.c" uses "perf_pmu__getcpuid" which calls
get_cpuid_str to get the cpuid string.
2. cpuid field in :struct pmu_events_map
struct pmu_events_map {
const char *arch;
const char *cpuid;
Here cpuid field is used in "perf_pmu__find_events_table"
function as "strcmp_cpuid_str(map->cpuid, cpuid)". The
value for cpuid field is picked from mapfile.csv.
Fix the mapfile.csv and get_cpuid_str function to prefix
cpuid with 0x so that it gets correctly interpreted by
the bison parser

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command
line variables.
If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the
build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support.
This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace".
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles,
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code.
Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the
commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The
majority of commands continue to work including "perf test".

Had to tweak tools/perf/util/setup.py to make sure the python binding
shared object links with libtraceevent if -DHAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is
present in CFLAGS.
Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures:
- Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y
- perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/
- bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y
- The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be
built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it
in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of
dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target.
Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build
failures:
- The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that
traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case
when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files,
now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like
the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints.
- We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and
tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when
setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't
detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here
to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having
CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean
way.
From Athira:
<quote>
tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build
-perf-y += kvm-stat.o
+perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o
</quote>
Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests.
- s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.
Also from Athira:
<quote>
With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment:
- Without libtraceevent-devel installed
- With libtraceevent-devel installed
- With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1”
</quote>
Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for
consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

The perf_mem_events__name() can generate the mem-load event name.
It uses a variable 'mem_loads_name__init' to avoid generating the
event name every time (because perf_pmu__scan takes some time).
The perf_mem_events__name() assumes the pmu is "cpu" but it's not
correct for hybrid platform. For Alderlake, the pmu is "cpu_core" or
"cpu_atom"
Introduce a new parameter 'pmu_name' in perf_mem_events__name
to let the caller specify a pmu name.
Considering such event name is x86 specific, so move
perf_mem_events[] to arch/x86/util/mem-events.c.
We still keep the variable 'mem_loads_name__init' but it's only
used when pmu_name is NULL (compatible for original behavior). When
pmu_name is not NULL (e.g. "cpu_core"), this patch doesn't have
optimization. That can be implemented in follow up patch.

The pipeline stage cycles details can be recorded on powerpc from the
contents of Performance Monitor Unit (PMU) registers. On ISA v3.1
platform, sampling registers exposes the cycles spent in different
pipeline stages. Patch adds perf tools support to present two of the
cycle counter information along with memory latency (weight).
Re-use the field 'ins_lat' for storing the first pipeline stage cycle.
This is stored in 'var2_w' field of 'perf_sample_weight'.
Add a new field 'p_stage_cyc' to store the second pipeline stage cycle
which is stored in 'var3_w' field of perf_sample_weight.
Add new sort function 'Pipeline Stage Cycle' and include this in
default_mem_sort_order[]. This new sort function may be used to denote
some other pipeline stage in another architecture. So add this to list
of sort entries that can have dynamic header string.

Running "perf mem report" in TUI mode fails with ENOMEM message in
powerpc:
failed to process sample
Running with debug and verbose options points that issue is while
allocating memory for sample histograms.
The error path is:
symbol__inc_addr_samples() ->
__symbol__inc_addr_samples() ->
annotated_source__histogram()
symbol__inc_addr_samples() calls annotated_source__alloc_histograms ()
to allocate memory for sample histograms using calloc(). Here calloc()
fails since the size of symbol is huge. The size of a symbol is
calculated as difference between its start and end address.
Example histogram allocation that fails is:
sym->name is _end
sym->start is 0xc0000000027a0000
sym->end is 0xc008000003890000
symbol__size(sym) is 0x80000010f0000
In the above case, the difference between sym->start
(0xc0000000027a0000) and sym->end (0xc008000003890000) is huge.
This is same problem as in s390 and arm64 which are fixed in commits:
b9c0a64901 ("perf annotate: Fix s390 gap between kernel end and module start")
78886f3ed3 ("perf symbols: Fix arm64 gap between kernel start and module end")
When this symbol was read first, its start and end address was set to
address which matches with data from /proc/kallsyms.
After symbol__new():
symbol__new: _end 0xc0000000027a0000-0xc0000000027a0000
From /proc/kallsyms:
...
c000000002799370 b backtrace_flag
c000000002799378 B radix_tree_node_cachep

Perf calls function symbols__fixup_end() which sets the end of symbol to
0xc008000003890000, which is the next address and this is the start
address of first module (icmp_checkentry in above) which will make the
huge symbol size of 0x80000010f0000.
After symbols__fixup_end:
symbols__fixup_end: sym->name: _end
sym->start: 0xc0000000027a0000
sym->end: 0xc008000003890000
On powerpc, kernel text segment is located at 0xc000000000000000 whereas
the modules are located at very high memory addresses,
0xc00800000xxxxxxx. Since the gap between end of kernel text segment and
beginning of first module's address is high, histogram allocation using
calloc fails.
Fix this by detecting the kernel's last symbol and limiting the range of
last kernel symbol to pagesize.

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"New features:
- Introduce controlling how 'perf stat' and 'perf record' works via a
control file descriptor, allowing starting with events configured
but disabled until commands are received via the control file
descriptor. This allows, for instance for tools such as Intel VTune
to make further use of perf as its Linux platform driver.
- Improve 'perf record' to to register in a perf.data file header the
clockid used to help later correlate things like syslog files and
perf events recorded.
- Add basic syscall and find_next_bit benchmarks to 'perf bench'.
- Allow using computed metrics in calculating other metrics. For
instance:
{
.metric_expr = "l2_rqsts.demand_data_rd_hit + l2_rqsts.pf_hit + l2_rqsts.rfo_hit",
.metric_name = "DCache_L2_All_Hits",
},
{
.metric_expr = "max(l2_rqsts.all_demand_data_rd - l2_rqsts.demand_data_rd_hit, 0) + l2_rqsts.pf_miss + l2_rqsts.rfo_miss",
.metric_name = "DCache_L2_All_Miss",
},
{
.metric_expr = "dcache_l2_all_hits + dcache_l2_all_miss",
.metric_name = "DCache_L2_All",
}
- Add suport for 'd_ratio', '>' and '<' operators to the expression
resolver used in calculating metrics in 'perf stat'.
Support for new kernel features:
- Support TEXT_POKE and KSYMBOL_TYPE_OOL perf metadata events to cope
with things like ftrace, trampolines, i.e. changes in the kernel
text that gets in the way of properly decoding Intel PT hardware
traces, for instance.
Intel PT:
- Add various knobs to reduce the volume of Intel PT traces by
reducing the level of details such as decoding just some types of
packets (e.g., FUP/TIP, PSB+), also filtering by time range.
- Add new itrace options (log flags to the 'd' option, error flags to
the 'e' one, etc), controlling how Intel PT is transformed into
perf events, document some missing options (e.g., how to synthesize
callchains).
BPF:
- Properly report BPF errors when parsing events.
- Do not setup side-band events if LIBBPF is not linked, fixing a
segfault.
Libraries:
- Improvements to the libtraceevent plugin mechanism.
- Improve libtracevent support for KVM trace events SVM exit reasons.
- Add a libtracevent plugins for decoding syscalls/sys_enter_futex
and for tlb_flush.
- Ensure sample_period is set libpfm4 events in 'perf test'.
- Fixup libperf namespacing, to make sure what is in libperf has the
perf_ namespace while what is now only in tools/perf/ doesn't use
that prefix.
Arch specific:
- Improve the testing of vendor events and metrics in 'perf test'.
- Allow no ARM CoreSight hardware tracer sink to be specified on
command line.
- Fix arm_spe_x recording when mixed with other perf events.
- Add s390 idle functions 'psw_idle' and 'psw_idle_exit' to list of
idle symbols.
- List kernel supplied event aliases for arm64 in 'perf list'.
- Add support for extended register capability in PowerPC 9 and 10.
- Added nest IMC power9 metric events.
Miscellaneous:
- No need to setup sample_regs_intr/sample_regs_user for dummy
events.
- Update various copies of kernel headers, some causing perf to
handle new syscalls, MSRs, etc.
- Improve usage of flex and yacc, enabling warnings and addressing
the fallout.
- Add missing '--output' option to 'perf kmem' so that it can pass it
along to 'perf record'.
- 'perf probe' fixes related to adding multiple probes on the same
address for the same event.
- Make 'perf probe' warn if the target function is a GNU indirect
function.
- Remove //anon mmap events from 'perf inject jit' to fix supporting
both using ELF files for generated functions and the perf-PID.map
approaches"
