Subject: [PATCH v5 00/15] jevents/pmu-events improvements
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2023 15:36:30 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230126233645.200509-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)

Add an optimization to jevents using the metric code, rewrite metrics
in terms of each other in order to minimize size and improve
readability. For example, on Power8
other_stall_cpi is rewritten from:
"PM_CMPLU_STALL / PM_RUN_INST_CMPL - PM_CMPLU_STALL_BRU_CRU / PM_RUN_INST_CMPL - PM_CMPLU_STALL_FXU / PM_RUN_INST_CMPL - PM_CMPLU_STALL_VSU / PM_RUN_INST_CMPL - PM_CMPLU_STALL_LSU / PM_RUN_INST_CMPL - PM_CMPLU_STALL_NTCG_FLUSH / PM_RUN_INST_CMPL - PM_CMPLU_STALL_NO_NTF / PM_RUN_INST_CMPL"
to:
"stall_cpi - bru_cru_stall_cpi - fxu_stall_cpi - vsu_stall_cpi - lsu_stall_cpi - ntcg_flush_cpi - no_ntf_stall_cpi"
Which more closely matches the definition on Power9.

A limitation of the substitutions are that they depend on strict
equality and the shape of the tree. This means that for "a + b + c"
then a substitution of "a + b" will succeed while "b + c" will fail
(the LHS for "+ c" is "a + b" not just "b").

Separate out the events and metrics in the pmu-events tables saving
14.8% in the table size while making it that metrics no longer need to
iterate over all events and vice versa. These changes remove evsel's
direct metric support as the pmu_event no longer has a metric to
populate it. This is a minor issue as the code wasn't working
properly, metrics for this are rare and can still be properly ran
using '-M'.

Add an ability to just build certain models into the jevents generated
pmu-metrics.c code. This functionality is appropriate for operating
systems like ChromeOS, that aim to minimize binary size and know all
the target CPU models.

v5. s/list/List/ in a type annotation to fix Python 3.6 as reported by
    John Garry <john.g.garry@oracle.com>. Fix a bug in metric_test.py
    where a bad character was imported. To avoid similar regressions,
    run metric_test.py before generating pmu-events.c.
v4. Better support the implementor/model style --model argument for
    jevents.py. Add #slots test fix. On some patches add reviewed-by
    John Garry <john.g.garry@oracle.com> and Kajol
    Jain<kjain@linux.ibm.com>.
v3. Rebase an incorporate review comments from John Garry
    <john.g.garry@oracle.com>, in particular breaking apart patch 4
    into 3 patches. The no jevents breakage and then later fix is
    avoided in this series too.
v2. Rebase. Modify the code that skips rewriting a metric with the
    same name with itself, to make the name check case insensitive.
