In previous patch, we have supported the syntax which enables
the event on a specified pmu, such as:
cpu_core/<event>/
cpu_atom/<event>/
While this syntax is not very easy for applying on a set of
events or applying on a group. In following example, we have to
explicitly assign the pmu prefix.
# ./perf stat -e '{cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/instructions/}' -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
1,158,545 cpu_core/cycles/
1,003,113 cpu_core/instructions/
1.002428712 seconds time elapsed
A much easier way is:
# ./perf stat --cputype core -e '{cycles,instructions}' -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
1,101,071 cpu_core/cycles/
939,892 cpu_core/instructions/
1.002363142 seconds time elapsed
For this example, the '--cputype' enables the events from specified
pmu (cpu_core).
If '--cputype' conflicts with pmu prefix, '--cputype' is ignored.
# ./perf stat --cputype core -e cycles,cpu_atom/instructions/ -a -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
21,003,407 cpu_core/cycles/
367,886 cpu_atom/instructions/

AMD processors have events with event select codes and unit masks larger
than a byte. The core PMU, for example, uses 12-bit event select codes
split between bits 0-7 and 32-35 of the PERF_CTL MSRs as can be seen
from /sys/bus/event_sources/devices/cpu/format/*.
The Processor Programming Reference (PPR) lists the event codes as
unified 12-bit hexadecimal values instead and the split between the bits
is not apparent to someone who is not aware of the layout of the
PERF_CTL MSRs.
8-bit event select codes continue to work as the layout matches that of
the PERF_CTL MSRs i.e. bits 0-7 for event select and 8-15 for unit mask.
This adds more details in the perf man pages about using
/sys/bus/event_sources/devices/*/format/* for determining the correct
raw event encoding scheme.
E.g. the "op_cache_hit_miss.op_cache_hit" event with code 0x28f and
umask 0x03 can be programmed using its symbolic name as:
$ sudo perf --debug perf-event-open stat -e op_cache_hit_miss.op_cache_hit sleep 1
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
type 4
size 128
config 0x20000038f
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
One might use a simple eventsel+umask combination based on what the
current man pages say and incorrectly program the event as:
$ sudo perf --debug perf-event-open stat -e r0328f sleep 1
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
type 4
size 128
config 0x328f
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
When it should have been based on the format from sysfs:
$ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event
config:0-7,32-35
$ sudo perf --debug perf-event-open stat -e r20000038f sleep 1
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
type 4
size 128
config 0x20000038f
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1

Add a new dlfilter to show cycles.
Cycle counts are accumulated per CPU (or per thread if CPU is not recorded)
from IPC information, and printed together with the change since the last
print, at the start of each line. Separate counts are kept for branches,
instructions or other events.
Note also, the itrace A option can be useful to provide higher granularity
cycle information.

$ perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u uname

[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

Normally, for cycle-acccurate mode, IPC values are an exact number of
instructions and cycles. Due to the granularity of timestamps, that happens
only when a CYC packet correlates to the event.
Support the itrace 'A' option, to use instead, the number of cycles
associated with the current timestamp. This provides IPC information for
every change of timestamp, but at the expense of accuracy. Due to the
granularity of timestamps, the actual number of cycles increases even
though the cycles reported does not. The number of instructions is known,
but if IPC is reported, cycles can be too low and so IPC is too high. Note
that inaccuracy decreases as the period of sampling increases i.e. if the
number of cycles is too low by a small amount, that becomes less
significant if the number of cycles is large.
Furthermore, it can be used in conjunction with dlfilter-show-cycles.so
to provide higher granularity cycle information.

Perf doesn't have a user-manual.txt, but git does and this explains why
there are references here. Having these references breaks 'make info' as
user-manual.info can't be created given the missing dependency. Remove
all references to user-manual so that 'make info' can succeed.

The Intel PT decoder limits the number of unconditional branches (e.g.
jmps) decoded without consuming any trace packets. Generally, a loop
needs a conditional branch which generates a TNT packet, whereas a "ret"
instruction will generate a TIP or TNT packet. So exceeding the limit is
assumed to be a never-ending loop, which can happen if there has been a
decoding error putting the decoder at the wrong place in the code.
Up until now, the limit of 10000 has been enough but some analytic
purposes have been reported to exceed that.
Increase the limit to 100000, and make it configurable via perf config
intel-pt.max-loops. Also amend the "Never-ending loop" message to
mention the configuration entry.

In some cases, users want to filter very large amounts of data (e.g.
from AUX area tracing like Intel PT) looking for something specific.
While scripting such as Python can be used, Python is 10 to 20 times
slower than C. So define a C API so that custom filters can be written
and loaded.

Perf has supported the CPU_PMU_CAPS feature to display a list of CPU PMU
capabilities. But on a hybrid platform, it may have several CPU PMUs (such
as "cpu_core" and "cpu_atom"). The CPU_PMU_CAPS feature is hard to extend
to support multiple CPU PMUs well if it needs to be compatible for the case
of old perf data file + new perf tool.
So for better compatibility we now create a new feature HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS
in the header.
For the perf.data generated on hybrid platform,
root@otcpl-adl-s-2:~# perf report --header-only -I
# cpu_core pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=alderlake_hybrid
# cpu_atom pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=alderlake_hybrid
# missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CPU_PMU_CAPS CLOCK_DATA
For the perf.data generated on non-hybrid platform
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf report --header-only -I
# cpu pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=skylake
# missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CLOCK_DATA HYBRID_TOPOLOGY HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS

It is useful to let the user know about the hybrid topology.
Add the HYBRID_TOPOLOGY feature in header to indicate the core CPUs
and the atom CPUs.
With this patch a perf.data generated on a hybrid platform reports
the hybrid CPU list:
root@otcpl-adl-s-2:~# perf report --header-only -I
...
# hybrid cpu system:
# cpu_core cpu list : 0-15
# cpu_atom cpu list : 16-23
For a perf.data generated on a non-hybrid platform, reports a message
that HYBRID_TOPOLOGY is missing:
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf report --header-only -I
...
# missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CLOCK_DATA HYBRID_TOPOLOGY
