Thresholding, a performance monitoring unit feature, can be
used to identify marked instructions which take more than
expected cycles between start event and end event.
Threshold compare (thresh_cmp) bits are programmed in MMCRA
register. In Power9, thresh_cmp bits were part of the
event code. But in case of P10, thresh_cmp are not part of
event code due to inclusion of MMCR3 bits.
Patch here adds an option to use attr.config1 variable
to be used to pass thresh_cmp value to be programmed in
MMCRA register. A new ppmu flag called PPMU_HAS_ATTR_CONFIG1
has been added and this flag is used to notify the use of
attr.config1 variable.
Patch has extended the parameter list of 'compute_mmcr',
to include power_pmu's 'flags' element and parameter list of
get_constraint to include attr.config1 value. It also extend
parameter list of power_check_constraints inorder to pass
perf_event list.
As stated by commit ef0e3b650f ("powerpc/perf: Fix Threshold
Event Counter Multiplier width for P10"), constraint bits for
thresh_cmp is also needed to be increased to 11 bits, which is
handled as part of this patch. We added bit number 53 as part
of constraint bits of thresh_cmp for power10 to make it an
11 bit field.
Updated layout for p10:
/*

*
* 60 56 52 48 44 40 36 32

Events of type PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE was described for Power PMU
as: int (*cache_events)[type][op][result];
where type, op, result values unpacked from the event attribute config
value is used to generate the raw event code at runtime.
So far the event code values which used to create these cache-related
events were within 32 bit and `int` type worked. In power10,
some of the event codes are of 64-bit value and hence update the
Power PMU cache_events to `u64` type in `power_pmu` struct.
Also propagate this change to existing all PMU driver code paths
which are using ppmu->cache_events.

core-book3s currently uses array to store the MMCR registers as part
of per-cpu `cpu_hw_events`. This patch does a clean up to use `struct`
to store mmcr regs instead of array. This will make code easier to read
and reduces chance of any subtle bug that may come in the future, say
when new registers are added. Patch updates all relevant code that was
using MMCR array ( cpuhw->mmcr[x]) to use newly introduced `struct`.
This includes the PMU driver code for supported platforms (power5
to power9) and ISA macros for counter support functions.

In power7_marked_instr_event() there is a switch case that is missing
a break or an explicit fallthrough, it's not immediately clear which
it should be.
The function determines based on the PMU event code, whether the event
is a "marked" event (which then requires us to configure the PMU in a
certain way). On Power7 there is no specific bit(s) in the event to
tell us that, we just have to know.
Rather than having a full list of every event and whether they are
marked, we pull apart the event code and for events with certain
values of certain fields we can say that those are all marked events.
We take the psel (bits 0-7) of the event, and look at bits 4-7. For a
value of 6 we say that if the entire psel == 0x64 then if the pmc == 3
the event is marked, else not, and otherwise we continue.
It is then that we fallthrough to the 8 case, where we return true if
the unit == 0xd.
The question is should the 6 case also fallthrough and check for
unit == 0xd, or should it return.
Looking at the full list of events we see that there are zero events
where (psel >> 4) == 0x6 and unit == 0xd.
So the answer is it doesn't really matter, there are no valid event
codes that will return a different result whether we fallthrough or
break.
But equally, testing the 6 case events against unit == 0xd is slightly
bogus, as there are no such events. So to make the code clearer, and
avoid any future confusion, have the 6 case break rather than falling
through.

Power7 supports over 530 different perf events but only a small subset
of these can be specified by name, for the remaining events, we must
specify them by their raw code:
perf stat -e r2003c <application>
This patch makes all the POWER7 events available in sysfs. So we can
instead specify these as:
perf stat -e 'cpu/PM_CMPLU_STALL_DFU/' <application>
where PM_CMPLU_STALL_DFU is the r2003c in previous example.
Before this patch is applied, the size of power7-pmu.o is:
$ size arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o
text data bss dec hex filename
3073 2720 0 5793 16a1 arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o
and after the patch is applied, it is:
$ size arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o
text data bss dec hex filename
15950 31112 0 47062 b7d6 arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o
For the run time overhead, I use two scripts, one is "event_name.sh",
which contains 50 event names, it looks like:
# ./perf record -e 'cpu/PM_CMPLU_STALL_DFU/' -e ..... /bin/sleep 1
the other one is named "event_code.sh" which use corresponding events
raw
code instead of events names, it looks like:
# ./perf record -e r2003c -e ...... /bin/sleep 1
below is the result.
Using events name:

In the Power7 PMU guide:
https://www.power.org/documentation/commonly-used-metrics-for-performance-analysis/
PM_BRU_MPRED is referred to as PM_BR_MPRED.
It fixed the typo by changing the name of the event in kernel and
documentation accordingly.
This patch changes the ABI, there are some reasons I think it's ok:
- It is relatively new interface, specific to the Power7 platform.
- No tools that we know of actually use this interface at this point
(none are listed near the interface).
- Users of this interface (eg oprofile users migrating to perf)
would be more used to the "PM_BR_MPRED" rather than "PM_BRU_MPRED".
- These are in the ABI/testing at this point rather than ABI/stable,
so hoping we have some wiggle room.

powerpc/perf: Sample only if SIAR-Valid bit is set in P7+
On POWER7+ two new bits (mmcra[35] and mmcra[36]) indicate whether the
contents of SIAR and SDAR are valid.
For marked instructions on P7+, we must save the contents of SIAR and
SDAR registers only if these new bits are set.
This code/check for the SIAR-Valid bit is specific to P7+, so rather than
waste a CPU-feature bit use the PVR flag.

The perf code has grown a lot since it started, and is big enough to
warrant its own subdirectory. For reference it's ~60% bigger than the
oprofile code. It declutters the kernel directory, makes it simpler to
grep for "just perf stuff", and allows us to shorten some filenames.
While we're at it, make it more obvious that we have two implementations
of the core perf logic. One for (roughly) Book3S CPUs, which was the
original implementation, and the other for Freescale embedded CPUs.
