Subject: [PATCH V2 0/7] arm64/perf: Enable branch stack sampling
Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2022 10:40:39 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220908051046.465307-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> (raw)
This series enables perf branch stack sampling support on arm64 platform
via a new arch feature called Branch Record Buffer Extension (BRBE). All
relevant register definitions could be accessed here.
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0601/2021-12/AArch64-Registers
This series applies on v6.0-rc4 after the BRBE related perf ABI changes series
(V7) that was posted earlier, and a branch sample filter helper patch.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220906084414.396220-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
Following issues have been resolved
- Jame's concerns regarding permission inadequacy related to perfmon_capable()
- Jame's concerns regarding using perf_event_paranoid along with perfmon_capable()
Following issues remain inconclusive
- Rob's concerns regarding the series structure, arm_pmu callbacks based framework
Changes in V2:
- Dropped branch sample filter helpers consolidation patch from this series
- Added new hw_perf_event.flags element ARMPMU_EVT_PRIV to cache perfmon_capable()
- Use cached perfmon_capable() while configuring BRBE branch record filters
Changes in V1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220613100119.684673-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
- Added CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS wrapper for all branch sample filter helpers
- Process new perf branch types via PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI
Changes in RFC V2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220412115455.293119-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
- Added branch_sample_priv() while consolidating other branch sample filter helpers
- Changed all SYS_BRBXXXN_EL1 register definition encodings per Marc
- Changed the BRBE driver as per proposed BRBE related perf ABI changes (V5)
- Added documentation for struct arm_pmu changes, updated commit message
- Updated commit message for BRBE detection infrastructure patch
- PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_KERNEL gets checked during arm event init (outside the driver)
- Branch privilege state capture mechanism has now moved inside the driver
