    Subject[PATCH v5 0/8] perf/amd: Zen4 IBS extensions support (tool changes)
    Date
    Kernel side of changes have already been applied to linus/master
    (except amd-ibs.h header). This series contains perf tool changes.

    Kan, I don't have any machine with heterogeneou cpus. It would be
    helpful if you can check HEADER_PMU_CAPS on Intel ADL machine.

    v4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220523033945.1612-1-ravi.bangoria@amd.com
    v4->v5:
    - Replace HEADER_HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS with HEADER_PMU_CAPS instead of
    adding new header HEADER_PMU_CAPS. Special care is taken by writing
    hybrid cpu pmu caps first in the header to make sure old perf tool
    does not break.
    - Store HEADER_CPU_PMU_CAPS capabilities in an array instead of single
    string separated by NULL.
    - Include "cpu" pmu while searching for capabilities in perf_env.
    - Rebase on acme/perf/core (9dde6cadb92b5)

    Original cover letter:

    IBS support has been enhanced with two new features in upcoming uarch:
    1. DataSrc extension and 2. L3 Miss Filtering capability. Both are
    indicated by CPUID_Fn8000001B_EAX bit 11.

    DataSrc extension provides additional data source details for tagged
    load/store operations. Add support for these new bits in perf report/
    script raw-dump.

    IBS L3 miss filtering works by tagging an instruction on IBS counter
    overflow and generating an NMI if the tagged instruction causes an L3
    miss. Samples without an L3 miss are discarded and counter is reset
    with random value (between 1-15 for fetch pmu and 1-127 for op pmu).
    This helps in reducing sampling overhead when user is interested only
    in such samples. One of the use case of such filtered samples is to
    feed data to page-migration daemon in tiered memory systems.

    Add support for L3 miss filtering in IBS driver via new pmu attribute
    "l3missonly". Example usage:

    # perf record -a -e ibs_op/l3missonly=1/ --raw-samples sleep 5
    # perf report -D

    Some important points to keep in mind while using L3 miss filtering:
    1. Hw internally reset sampling period when tagged instruction does
    not cause L3 miss. But there is no way to reconstruct aggregated
    sampling period when this happens.
    2. L3 miss is not the actual event being counted. Rather, IBS will
    count fetch, cycles or uOps depending on the configuration. Thus
    sampling period have no direct connection to L3 misses.

    1st causes sampling period skew. Thus, I've added warning message at
    perf record:

    # perf record -c 10000 -C 0 -e ibs_op/l3missonly=1/
    WARNING: Hw internally resets sampling period when L3 Miss Filtering is enabled
    and tagged operation does not cause L3 Miss. This causes sampling period skew.

    User can configure smaller sampling period to get more samples while
    using l3missonly.


    Ravi Bangoria (8):
    perf record ibs: Warn about sampling period skew
    perf tool: Parse pmu caps sysfs only once
    perf headers: Pass "cpu" pmu name while printing caps
    perf headers: Store pmu caps in an array of strings
    perf headers: Record non-cpu pmu capabilities
    perf/x86/ibs: Add new IBS register bits into header
    perf tool ibs: Sync amd ibs header file
    perf script ibs: Support new IBS bits in raw trace dump
