Change Intel PT's branch stack support to use thread stacks. The
advantages of using branch stack support from the thread-stack are:
1. the branches are accumulated separately for each thread
2. the branch stack is cleared only in between continuous traces
This helps pave the way for adding branch stacks to regular events, not
just synthesized events as at present.
While the 2 approaches are not identical, in simple cases the results
can be identical e.g.
Before:
# perf record --kcore -e intel_pt// uname
# perf script --itrace=i10usl -F+brstacksym,+addr,+flags > cmp1.txt
After:
# perf script --itrace=i10usl -F+brstacksym,+addr,+flags > cmp2.txt
# diff -s cmp1.txt cmp2.txt
Files cmp1.txt and cmp2.txt are identical

Intel PT already has support for creating branch stacks for each context
(per-cpu or per-thread). In the more common per-cpu case, the branch stack
is not separated for different threads, instead being cleared in between
each sample.
That approach will not work very well for adding branch stacks to
regular events. The branch stacks really need to be accumulated
separately for each thread.
As a start to accomplishing that, this patch adds support for putting
branch stack support into the thread-stack. The advantages are:
1. the branches are accumulated separately for each thread
2. the branch stack is cleared only in between continuous traces
This helps pave the way for adding branch stacks to regular events, not
just synthesized events as at present.

Allow for more than one event to be there, so that we can use it as

Patch enhances current metric infrastructure to handle "?" in the metric
expression. The "?" can be use for parameters whose value not known
while creating metric events and which can be replace later at runtime
to the proper value. It also add flexibility to create multiple events
out of single metric event added in JSON file.
Patch adds function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' which is a arch specific
function, returns the count of metric events need to be created. By
default it return 1.
This infrastructure needed for hv_24x7 socket/chip level events.
"hv_24x7" chip level events needs specific chip-id to which the data is
requested. Function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' implemented in header.c
which extract number of sockets from sysfs file "sockets" under
"/sys/devices/hv_24x7/interface/".
With this patch basically we are trying to create as many metric events
as define by runtime_param.
For that one loop is added in function 'metricgroup__add_metric', which
create multiple events at run time depend on return value of
'arch_get_runtimeparam' and merge that event in 'group_list'.
To achieve that we are actually passing this parameter value as part of
`expr__find_other` function and changing "?" present in metric
expression with this value.
As in our JSON file, there gonna be single metric event, and out of
which we are creating multiple events.
To understand which data count belongs to which parameter value,
we also printing param value in generic_metric function.
For example,
command:# ./perf stat -M PowerBUS_Frequency -C 0 -I 1000
1.000101867 9,356,933 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_0
1.000101867 9,366,134 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_1
2.000314878 9,365,868 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_0
2.000314878 9,366,092 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_1
So, here _0 and _1 after PowerBUS_Frequency specify parameter value.

The synthesize benchmark, run on a single process and thread, shows
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events as the hottest function with fgets
and sscanf taking the majority of execution time.
fscanf performs similarly well. Replace the scanf call with manual
reading of each field of the /proc/pid/maps line, and remove some
unnecessary buffering.
This change also addresses potential, but unlikely, buffer overruns for
the string values read by scanf.

To control degree of parallelism of the synthesize_mmap() code which
is scanning /proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be time consuming.
Mimic perf top way of handling the option.
If not specified will default to 1 thread, i.e. default behavior before
this option.
On a desktop computer the processing of /proc/PID/task/PID/maps isn't
slow enough to warrant parallel processing and the thread creation has
some cost - hence the default of 1. On a loaded server with
>100 cores it is possible to see synthesis times in the order of
seconds and in this case having the option is desirable.
As the processing is a synchronization point, it is legitimate to worry if
Amdahl's law will apply to this patch. Profiling with this patch in
place:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200415054050.31645-4-irogers@google.com/
shows:
...
- 32.59% __perf_event__synthesize_threads
- 32.54% __event__synthesize_thread
+ 22.13% perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events
+ 6.68% perf_event__get_comm_ids.constprop.0
+ 1.49% process_synthesized_event
+ 1.29% __GI___readdir64
+ 0.60% __opendir
...
That is the processing is 1.49% of execution time and there is plenty to
make parallel. This is shown in the benchmark in this patch:

Where average time per synthesized event goes from 5.927 usec with 1
thread to 2.269 usec with 8. This isn't a linear speed up as not all of
synthesize code has been made parallel. If the synthesis time was about
10 seconds then using 8 threads may bring this down to less than 4.

For interval mode, the metric is printed after the '#' character if it
exists. But it's not calculated by the counts generated in this
interval.
See the following examples:
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000422803 764,809 inst_retired.any # 2.9 CPI
1.000422803 2,234,932 cycles
2.001464585 1,960,061 inst_retired.any # 1.6 CPI
2.001464585 4,022,591 cycles
The second CPI should not be 1.6 (4,022,591/1,960,061 is 2.1)
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000429493 2,869,311 cycles
1.000429493 816,875 instructions # 0.28 insn per cycle
2.001516426 9,260,973 cycles
2.001516426 5,250,634 instructions # 0.87 insn per cycle
The second 'insn per cycle' should not be 0.87 (5,250,634/9,260,973 is
0.57).
The current code uses a global variable 'rt_stat' for tracking and
updating the std dev of runtime stat. Unlike the counts, 'rt_stat' is not
reset for interval. While the counts are reset for interval.
perf_stat_process_counter()
{
if (config->interval)
init_stats(ps->res_stats);
}
So for interval mode, the 'rt_stat' variable should be reset too.
This patch resets 'rt_stat' before read_counters(), so the runtime stat
is only calculated by the counts generated in this interval.
With this patch:
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000420924 2,408,818 inst_retired.any # 2.1 CPI
1.000420924 5,010,111 cycles
2.001448579 2,798,407 inst_retired.any # 1.6 CPI
2.001448579 4,599,861 cycles
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000428555 2,769,714 cycles
1.000428555 774,462 instructions # 0.28 insn per cycle
2.001471562 3,595,904 cycles
2.001471562 1,243,703 instructions # 0.35 insn per cycle
Now the second 'insn per cycle' and CPI are calculated by the counts
generated in this interval.

As the code comments in perf_stat_process_counter() say, we calculate
counter's data every interval, and the display code shows ps->res_stats
avg value. We need to zero the stats for interval mode.
But the current code only zeros the res_stats[0], it doesn't zero the
res_stats[1] and res_stats[2], which are for ena and run of counter.
This patch zeros the whole res_stats[] for interval mode.

Perf checks the duplicate entries in a callchain before adding an entry.
However the check is very slow especially with deeper call stack.
Almost ~50% elapsed time of perf report is spent on the check when the
call stack is always depth of 32.
The hist_entry__cmp() is used to compare the new entry with the old
entries. It will go through all the available sorts in the sort_list,
and call the specific cmp of each sort, which is very slow.
Actually, for most cases, there are no duplicate entries in callchain.
The symbols are usually different. It's much faster to do a quick check
for symbols first. Only do the full cmp when the symbols are exactly the
same.
The quick check is only to check symbols, not dso. Export
_sort__sym_cmp.

With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack can
break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call stacks
in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp. Also, it
may impact the processing time especially when the number of samples
with stitched LBRs are huge.
Add an option to enable the approach.

In LBR call stack mode, the depth of reconstructed LBR call stack limits
to the number of LBR registers.
For example, on skylake, the depth of reconstructed LBR call stack is
always <= 32.

For a call stack which is deeper than LBR limit, HW will overwrite the
LBR register with oldest branch. Only partial call stacks can be
reconstructed.
However, the overwritten LBRs may still be retrieved from previous
sample. At that moment, HW hasn't overwritten the LBR registers yet.
Perf tools can stitch those overwritten LBRs on current call stacks to
get a more complete call stack.
To determine if LBRs can be stitched, perf tools need to compare current
sample with previous sample.
- They should have identical LBR records (Same from, to and flags
values, and the same physical index of LBR registers).
- The searching starts from the base-of-stack of current sample.
Once perf determines to stitch the previous LBRs, the corresponding LBR
cursor nodes will be copied to 'lists'. The 'lists' is to track the LBR
cursor nodes which are going to be stitched.
When the stitching is over, the nodes will not be freed immediately.
They will be moved to 'free_lists'. Next stitching may reuse the space.
Both 'lists' and 'free_lists' will be freed when all samples are
processed.
Committer notes:
Fix the intel-pt.c initialization of the union with 'struct
branch_flags', that breaks the build with its unnamed union on older gcc
versions.
Uninline thread__free_stitch_list(), as it grew big and started dragging
includes to thread.h, so move it to thread.c where what it needs in
terms of headers are already there.
This fixes the build in several systems such as debian:experimental when
cross building to the MIPS32 architecture, i.e. in the other cases what
was needed was being included by sheer luck.

The cursor nodes which generates from sample are eventually added into
callchain. To avoid generating cursor nodes from previous samples again,
the previous cursor nodes are also saved for LBR stitching approach.
Some option, e.g. hide-unresolved, may hide some LBRs. Add a variable
'valid' in struct callchain_cursor_node to indicate this case. The LBR
stitching approach will only append the valid cursor nodes from previous
samples later.

To retrieve the overwritten LBRs from previous sample for LBR stitching
approach, perf has to save the previous sample.
Only allocate the struct lbr_stitch once, when LBR stitching approach is
enabled and kernel supports hw_idx.

The LBR stitch approach should be disabled by default. Because
- The stitching approach base on LBR call stack technology. The known
limitations of LBR call stack technology still apply to the approach,
e.g. Exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp will have calls/returns
not match.
- This approach is not foolproof. There can be cases where it creates
incorrect call stacks from incorrect matches. There is no attempt to
validate any matches in another way.
The 'lbr_stitch_enable' is used to indicate whether enable LBR stitch
approach, which is disabled by default. The following patch will
introduce a new option for each tools to enable the LBR stitch
approach.

LBR only collect the user call stack. To reconstruct a call stack, both
kernel call stack and user call stack are required. The function
resolve_lbr_callchain_sample() mix the kernel call stack and user call
stack.
Now, with the help of HW idx, perf tool can reconstruct a more complete
call stack by adding some user call stack from previous sample. However,
current implementation is hard to be extended to support it.
Current code path for resolve_lbr_callchain_sample()
for (j = 0; j < mix_chain_nr; j++) {
if (ORDER_CALLEE) {
if (kernel callchain)
Fill callchain info
else if (LBR callchain)
Fill callchain info
} else {
if (LBR callchain)
Fill callchain info
else if (kernel callchain)
Fill callchain info
}
add_callchain_ip();
}
With the patch,
if (ORDER_CALLEE) {
for (j = 0; j < NUM of kernel callchain) {
Fill callchain info
add_callchain_ip();
}
for (; j < mix_chain_nr) {
Fill callchain info
add_callchain_ip();
}
} else {
for (; j < NUM of LBR callchain) {
Fill callchain info
add_callchain_ip();
}
for (j = 0; j < mix_chain_nr) {
Fill callchain info
add_callchain_ip();
}
}
No functional changes.
