- Improve Intel uncore PMU support:
- Parse uncore 'discovery tables' - a new hardware capability enumeration method
introduced on the latest Intel platforms. This table is in a well-defined PCI
namespace location and is read via MMIO. It is organized in an rbtree.
These uncore tables will allow the discovery of standard counter blocks, but
fancier counters still need to be enumerated explicitly.
- Add Alder Lake support
- Improve IIO stacks to PMON mapping support on Skylake servers
- Add Intel Alder Lake PMU support - which requires the introduction of 'hybrid' CPUs
and PMUs. Alder Lake is a mix of Golden Cove ('big') and Gracemont ('small' - Atom derived)
cores.
The CPU-side feature set is entirely symmetrical - but on the PMU side there's
core type dependent PMU functionality.
- Reduce data loss with CPU level hardware tracing on Intel PT / AUX profiling, by
fixing the AUX allocation watermark logic.
- Improve ring buffer allocation on NUMA systems
- Put 'struct perf_event' into their separate kmem_cache pool
- Add support for synchronous signals for select perf events. The immediate motivation
is to support low-overhead sampling-based race detection for user-space code. The
feature consists of the following main changes:
- Add thread-only event inheritance via perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, which limits
inheritance of events to CLONE_THREAD.
- Add the ability for events to not leak through exec(), via perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec.
- Allow the generation of SIGTRAP via perf_event_attr::sigtrap, extend siginfo with an u64
::si_perf, and add the breakpoint information to ::si_addr and ::si_perf if the event is
PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT.
The siginfo support is adequate for breakpoints right now - but the new field can be used
to introduce support for other types of metadata passed over siginfo as well.
- Misc fixes, cleanups and smaller updates.

If a PMI arrives between kvm's call to perf_guest_get_msrs() and the
subsequent VM-entry, a stale value for the IA32_PEBS_ENABLE MSR may be
restored at the next VM-exit. This is because, unbeknownst to kvm, PMI
throttling may clear bits in the IA32_PEBS_ENABLE MSR. CPUs with "PEBS
isolation" don't suffer from this issue, because perf_guest_get_msrs()
doesn't report the IA32_PEBS_ENABLE value.

Alder Lake Hybrid system has two different types of core, Golden Cove
core and Gracemont core. The Golden Cove core is registered to
"cpu_core" PMU. The Gracemont core is registered to "cpu_atom" PMU.
The difference between the two PMUs include:
- Number of GP and fixed counters
- Events
- The "cpu_core" PMU supports Topdown metrics.
The "cpu_atom" PMU supports PEBS-via-PT.
The "cpu_core" PMU is similar to the Sapphire Rapids PMU, but without
PMEM.
The "cpu_atom" PMU is similar to Tremont, but with different events,
event_constraints, extra_regs and number of counters.
The mem-loads AUX event workaround only applies to the Golden Cove core.
Users may disable all CPUs of the same CPU type on the command line or
in the BIOS. For this case, perf still register a PMU for the CPU type
but the CPU mask is 0.
Current caps/pmu_name is usually the microarch codename. Assign the
"alderlake_hybrid" to the caps/pmu_name of both PMUs to indicate the
hybrid Alder Lake microarchitecture.

Different hybrid PMUs have different PMU capabilities and events. Perf
should registers a dedicated PMU for each of them.
To check the X86 event, perf has to go through all possible hybrid pmus.
All the hybrid PMUs are registered at boot time. Before the
registration, add intel_pmu_check_hybrid_pmus() to check and update the
counters information, the event constraints, the extra registers and the
unique capabilities for each hybrid PMUs.
Postpone the display of the PMU information and HW check to
CPU_STARTING, because the boot CPU is the only online CPU in the
init_hw_perf_events(). Perf doesn't know the availability of the other
PMUs. Perf should display the PMU information only if the counters of
the PMU are available.
One type of CPUs may be all offline. For this case, users can still
observe the PMU in /sys/devices, but its CPU mask is 0.
All hybrid PMUs have capability PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS.
The PMU name for hybrid PMUs will be "cpu_XXX", which will be assigned
later in a separated patch.
The PMU type id for the core PMU is still PERF_TYPE_RAW. For the other
hybrid PMUs, the PMU type id is not hard code.
The event->cpu must be compatitable with the supported CPUs of the PMU.
Add a check in the x86_pmu_event_init().
The events in a group must be from the same type of hybrid PMU.
The fake cpuc used in the validation must be from the supported CPU of
the event->pmu.
Perf may not retrieve a valid core type from get_this_hybrid_cpu_type().
For example, ADL may have an alternative configuration. With that
configuration, Perf cannot retrieve the core type from the CPUID leaf
0x1a. Add a platform specific get_hybrid_cpu_type(). If the generic way
fails, invoke the platform specific get_hybrid_cpu_type().

Some platforms, e.g. Alder Lake, have hybrid architecture. Although most

With Architectural Performance Monitoring Version 5, CPUID 10.ECX cpu
leaf indicates the fixed counter enumeration. This extends the previous
count to a bitmap which allows disabling even lower fixed counters.
It could be used by a Hypervisor.
The existing intel_ctrl variable is used to remember the bitmask of the
counters. All code that reads all counters is fixed to check this extra
bitmask.

Add perf core PMU support for the Intel Sapphire Rapids server, which is
the successor of the Intel Ice Lake server. The enabling code is based
on Ice Lake, but there are several new features introduced.
The event encoding is changed and simplified, e.g., the event codes
which are below 0x90 are restricted to counters 0-3. The event codes
which above 0x90 are likely to have no restrictions. The event
constraints, extra_regs(), and hardware cache events table are changed
accordingly.
A new Precise Distribution (PDist) facility is introduced, which
further minimizes the skid when a precise event is programmed on the GP
counter 0. Enable the Precise Distribution (PDist) facility with :ppp
event. For this facility to work, the period must be initialized with a
value larger than 127. Add spr_limit_period() to apply the limit for
:ppp event.
Two new data source fields, data block & address block, are added in the
PEBS Memory Info Record for the load latency event. To enable the
feature,
- An auxiliary event has to be enabled together with the load latency
event on Sapphire Rapids. A new flag PMU_FL_MEM_LOADS_AUX is
introduced to indicate the case. A new event, mem-loads-aux, is
exposed to sysfs for the user tool.
Add a check in hw_config(). If the auxiliary event is not detected,
return an unique error -ENODATA.
- The union perf_mem_data_src is extended to support the new fields.
- Ice Lake and earlier models do not support block information, but the
fields may be set by HW on some machines. Add pebs_no_block to
explicitly indicate the previous platforms which don't support the new
block fields. Accessing the new block fields are ignored on those
platforms.
A new store Latency facility is introduced, which leverages the PEBS
facility where it can provide additional information about sampled
stores. The additional information includes the data address, memory
auxiliary info (e.g. Data Source, STLB miss) and the latency of the
store access. To enable the facility, the new event (0x02cd) has to be
programed on the GP counter 0. A new flag PERF_X86_EVENT_PEBS_STLAT is
introduced to indicate the event. The store_latency_data() is introduced
to parse the memory auxiliary info.
The layout of access latency field of PEBS Memory Info Record has been
changed. Two latency, instruction latency (bit 15:0) and cache access
latency (bit 47:32) are recorded.
- The cache access latency is similar to previous memory access latency.
For loads, the latency starts by the actual cache access until the
data is returned by the memory subsystem.
For stores, the latency starts when the demand write accesses the L1
data cache and lasts until the cacheline write is completed in the
memory subsystem.
The cache access latency is stored in low 32bits of the sample type
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.
- The instruction latency starts by the dispatch of the load operation
for execution and lasts until completion of the instruction it belongs
to.
Add a new flag PMU_FL_INSTR_LATENCY to indicate the instruction
latency support. The instruction latency is stored in the bit 47:32
of the sample type PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.
Extends the PERF_METRICS MSR to feature TMA method level 2 metrics. The
lower half of the register is the TMA level 1 metrics (legacy). The
upper half is also divided into four 8-bit fields for the new level 2
metrics. Expose all eight Topdown metrics events to user space.

Intel Sapphire Rapids server will introduce 8 metrics events. Intel
Ice Lake only supports 4 metrics events. A perf tool user may mistakenly
use the unsupported events via RAW format on Ice Lake. The user can
still get a value from the unsupported Topdown metrics event once the
following Sapphire Rapids enabling patch is applied.
To enable the 8 metrics events on Intel Sapphire Rapids, the
INTEL_TD_METRIC_MAX has to be updated, which impacts the
is_metric_event(). The is_metric_event() is a generic function.
On Ice Lake, the newly added SPR metrics events will be mistakenly
accepted as metric events on creation. At runtime, the unsupported
Topdown metrics events will be updated.
Add a variable num_topdown_events in x86_pmu to indicate the available
number of the Topdown metrics event on the platform. Apply the number
into is_metric_event(). Only the supported Topdown metrics events
should be created as metrics events.
Apply the num_topdown_events in icl_update_topdown_event() as well. The
function can be reused by the following patch.

Perfmon-v4 counter freezing is fundamentally broken; remove this default
disabled code to make sure nobody uses it.
The feature is called Freeze-on-PMI in the SDM, and if it would do that,
there wouldn't actually be a problem, *however* it does something subtly
different. It globally disables the whole PMU when it raises the PMI,
not when the PMI hits.
This means there's a window between the PMI getting raised and the PMI
actually getting served where we loose events and this violates the
perf counter independence. That is, a counting event should not result
in a different event count when there is a sampling event co-scheduled.
This is known to break existing software (RR).

Intro
=====
The TopDown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured
analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in
out-of-order processors. Current perf has supported the method.
The method works well, but there is one problem. To collect the TopDown
events, several GP counters have to be used. If a user wants to collect
other events at the same time, the multiplexing probably be triggered,
which impacts the accuracy.
To free up the scarce GP counters, the hardware TopDown metrics feature
is introduced from Ice Lake. The hardware implements an additional
"metrics" register and a new Fixed Counter 3 that measures pipeline
"slots". The TopDown events can be calculated from them instead.
Events
======
The level 1 TopDown has four metrics. There is no event-code assigned to
the TopDown metrics. Four metric events are exported as separate perf
events, which map to the internal "metrics" counter register. Those
events do not exist in hardware, but can be allocated by the scheduler.
For the event mapping, a special 0x00 event code is used, which is
reserved for fake events. The metric events start from umask 0x10.
When setting up the metric events, they point to the Fixed Counter 3.
They have to be specially handled.
- Add the update_topdown_event() callback to read the additional metrics
MSR and generate the metrics.
- Add the set_topdown_event_period() callback to initialize metrics MSR
and the fixed counter 3.
- Add a variable n_metric_event to track the number of the accepted
metrics events. The sharing between multiple users of the same metric
without multiplexing is not allowed.
- Only enable/disable the fixed counter 3 when there are no other active
TopDown events, which avoid the unnecessary writing of the fixed
control register.
- Disable the PMU when reading the metrics event. The metrics MSR and
the fixed counter 3 are read separately. The values may be modified by
an NMI.
All four metric events don't support sampling. Since they will be
handled specially for event update, a flag PERF_X86_EVENT_TOPDOWN is
introduced to indicate this case.
The slots event can support both sampling and counting.
For counting, the flag is also applied.
For sampling, it will be handled normally as other normal events.
Groups
======
The slots event is required in a Topdown group.
To avoid reading the METRICS register multiple times, the metrics and
slots value can only be updated by slots event in a group.
All active slots and metrics events will be updated one time.
Therefore, the slots event must be before any metric events in a Topdown
group.
NMI
======
The METRICS related register may be overflow. The bit 48 of the STATUS
register will be set. If so, PERF_METRICS and Fixed counter 3 are
required to be reset. The patch also update all active slots and
metrics events in the NMI handler.
The update_topdown_event() has to read two registers separately. The
values may be modified by an NMI. PMU has to be disabled before calling
the function.
RDPMC
======
RDPMC is temporarily disabled. A later patch will enable it.

Currently, the if-else is used in the intel_pmu_disable/enable_event to
check the type of an event. It works well, but with more and more types
added later, e.g., perf metrics, compared to the switch statement, the
if-else may impair the readability of the code.
There is no harm to use the switch statement to replace the if-else
here. Also, some optimizing compilers may compile a switch statement
into a jump-table which is more efficient than if-else for a large
number of cases. The performance gain may not be observed for now,
because the number of cases is only 5, but the benefits may be observed
with more and more types added in the future.
Use switch to replace the if-else in the intel_pmu_disable/enable_event.
If the idx is invalid, print a warning.
For the case INTEL_PMC_IDX_FIXED_BTS in intel_pmu_disable_event, don't

Last Branch Records (LBR) enables recording of software path history by
logging taken branches and other control flows within architectural
registers now. Intel CPUs have had model-specific LBR for quite some
time, but this evolves them into an architectural feature now.
The main improvements of Architectural LBR implemented includes:
- Linux kernel can support the LBR features without knowing the model
number of the current CPU.
- Architectural LBR capabilities can be enumerated by CPUID. The
lbr_ctl_map is based on the CPUID Enumeration.
- The possible LBR depth can be retrieved from CPUID enumeration. The
max value is written to the new MSR_ARCH_LBR_DEPTH as the number of
LBR entries.
- A new IA32_LBR_CTL MSR is introduced to enable and configure LBRs,
which replaces the IA32_DEBUGCTL[bit 0] and the LBR_SELECT MSR.
- Each LBR record or entry is still comprised of three MSRs,
IA32_LBR_x_FROM_IP, IA32_LBR_x_TO_IP and IA32_LBR_x_TO_IP.
But they become the architectural MSRs.
- Architectural LBR is stack-like now. Entry 0 is always the youngest
branch, entry 1 the next youngest... The TOS MSR has been removed.
The way to enable/disable Architectural LBR is similar to the previous
model-specific LBR. __intel_pmu_lbr_enable/disable() can be reused, but
some modifications are required, which include:
- MSR_ARCH_LBR_CTL is used to enable and configure the Architectural
LBR.
- When checking the value of the IA32_DEBUGCTL MSR, ignoring the
DEBUGCTLMSR_LBR (bit 0) for Architectural LBR, which has no meaning
and always return 0.
- The FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI has to be explicitly set/clear, because
MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR is not touched in __intel_pmu_lbr_disable() for
Architectural LBR.
- Only MSR_ARCH_LBR_CTL is cleared in __intel_pmu_lbr_disable() for
Architectural LBR.
Some Architectural LBR dedicated functions are implemented to
reset/read/save/restore LBR.
- For reset, writing to the ARCH_LBR_DEPTH MSR clears all Arch LBR
entries, which is a lot faster and can improve the context switch
latency.
- For read, the branch type information can be retrieved from
the MSR_ARCH_LBR_INFO_*. But it's not fully compatible due to
OTHER_BRANCH type. The software decoding is still required for the
OTHER_BRANCH case.
LBR records are stored in the age order as well. Reuse
intel_pmu_store_lbr(). Check the CPUID enumeration before accessing
the corresponding bits in LBR_INFO.
- For save/restore, applying the fast reset (writing ARCH_LBR_DEPTH).
Reading 'lbr_from' of entry 0 instead of the TOS MSR to check if the
LBR registers are reset in the deep C-state. If 'the deep C-state
reset' bit is not set in CPUID enumeration, ignoring the check.
XSAVE support for Architectural LBR will be implemented later.
The number of LBR entries cannot be hardcoded anymore, which should be
retrieved from CPUID enumeration. A new structure
x86_perf_task_context_arch_lbr is introduced for Architectural LBR.

The MSRs of Architectural LBR are different from previous model-specific
LBR. Perf has to implement different functions to save and restore them.
The function pointers for LBR save and restore are introduced. Perf
should initialize the corresponding functions at boot time.
The generic optimizations, e.g. avoiding restore LBR if no one else
touched them, still apply for Architectural LBRs. The related codes are
not moved to model-specific functions.
Current model-specific LBR functions are set as default.

The method to read Architectural LBRs is different from previous
model-specific LBR. Perf has to implement a different function.
A function pointer for LBR read is introduced. Perf should initialize
the corresponding function at boot time, and avoid checking lbr_format
at run time.
The current 64-bit LBR read function is set as default.

When a guest wants to use the LBR registers, its hypervisor creates a guest
LBR event and let host perf schedules it. The LBR records msrs are
accessible to the guest when its guest LBR event is scheduled on
by the perf subsystem.
Before scheduling this event out, we should avoid host changes on
IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR or LBR_SELECT. Otherwise, some unexpected branch
operations may interfere with guest behavior, pollute LBR records, and even
cause host branches leakage. In addition, the read operation
on host is also avoidable.
To ensure that guest LBR records are not lost during the context switch,
the guest LBR event would enable the callstack mode which could
save/restore guest unread LBR records with the help of
intel_pmu_lbr_sched_task() naturally.
However, the guest LBR_SELECT may changes for its own use and the host
LBR event doesn't save/restore it. To ensure that we doesn't lost the guest
LBR_SELECT value when the guest LBR event is running, the vlbr_constraint
is bound up with a new constraint flag PERF_X86_EVENT_LBR_SELECT.
