[PATCH v2 00/14] Add support for parameterized events from sysfs

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Cody P Schafer <dev@codyps.com>

What this patchset does:

 - the first patch (override sysfs in tools/perf via SYSFS_PATH) was sent out
   previously, but needed a resend anyhow. Having it is useful for testing the
   later changes to tools/perf.
 - the second patch is a bugfix to the powerpc hv-24x7 code which was
   previously sent out, which is a good idea to have when testing these patches
   on POWER8 hardware.

 - document perf sysfs and the changes to add parameterized events
   - semi-notably: removes the growing list of specific POWER cpu events and
     begins documenting them generically, much like the docs for
     /sys/modules/MODULENAME do for modules.
 - tools/perf changes to support parameterized events
 - export some parameterized events from the powerpc pmus hv_24x7 and hv_gpci

Description of "event parameters" from the documentation patch:

    Event parameters are a basic way for partial events to be specified in
    sysfs with per-event names given to the fields that need to be filled in
    when using a particular event.

    It is intended for supporting cases where the single 'cpu' parameter is
    insufficient. For example, POWER 8 has events for physical
    sockets/cores/cpus that are accessible from with virtual machines. To
    keep using the single 'cpu' parameter we'd need to perform a mapping
    between Linux's cpus and the physical machine's cpus (in this case
    Linux is running under a hypervisor). This isn't possible because
    bindings between our cpus and physical cpus may not be fixed, and we
    probably won't have a "cpu" on each physical cpu.

Description of the sysfs contents when events are parameterized (copied from an
included patch):

	Examples:

		domain=0x1,offset=0x8,starting_index=phys_cpu

	In the case of the last example, a value replacing "phys_cpu"
	would need to be provided by the user selecting the particular
	event. This is refered to as "event parameterization". All
	non-numerical values indicate an event parameter.

Notes on how perf-list displays parameterized events (and how to use them,
again culled from an included patch):

	PARAMETERIZED EVENTS
	--------------------

	Some pmu events listed by 'perf-list' will be displayed with '?' in
	them. For example:

	  hv_gpci/dtbp_ptitc,phys_processor_idx=?/

	This means that when provided as an event, a value for
	phys_processor_idx must also be supplied. For example:

	  perf stat -e 'hv_gpci/dtbp_ptitc,phys_processor_idx=0x2/' ...

Changelog[v2]
	- [Joe Perches, David Laight] Use beNN_to_cpu() instead of guessing
	  the size from type.
	- Use kmem_cache_free() to free page allocated with kmem_cache_alloc().
	- Rebase to recent kernel

[PATCH v2 01/14] powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: use kmem_cache instead of aligned stack allocations

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Cody P Schafer <dev@codyps.com>

Ian pointed out the use of __aligned(4096) caused rather large stack
consumption in single_24x7_request(), so use the kmem_cache
hv_page_cache (which we've already got set up for other allocations)
insead of allocating locally.

[PATCH v2 03/14] perf Documentation: sysfs events/ interfaces

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Cody P Schafer <dev@codyps.com>

Add documentation for the <event>, <event>.scale, and <event>.unit
files in sysfs.

<event>.scale and <event>.unit were undocumented.
<event> was previously documented only for specific powerpc pmu events.

[PATCH v2 04/14] perf Documentation: remove duplicated docs for powerpc cpu specific events

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Cody P Schafer <dev@codyps.com>

Listing specific events doesn't actually help us at all here because:
 - these events actually vary between different ppc processors, they
   aren't garunteed to be present.
 - the documentation of the (generic) file contents is now superceded by the
   docs for arbitrary event file contents.

[PATCH v2 04/14] perf Documentation: add event parameters

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Cody P Schafer <dev@codyps.com>

Event parameters are a basic way for partial events to be specified in
sysfs with per-event names given to the fields that need to be filled in
when using a particular event.

It is intended for supporting cases where the single 'cpu' parameter is
insufficient. For example, POWER 8 has events for physical
sockets/cores/cpus that are accessible from with virtual machines. To
keep using the single 'cpu' parameter we'd need to perform a mapping
between Linux's cpus and the physical machine's cpus (in this case
Linux is running under a hypervisor). This isn't possible because
bindings between our cpus and physical cpus may not be fixed, and we
probably won't have a "cpu" on each physical cpu.

[PATCH v2 06/14] tools/perf: support parsing parameterized events

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Cody P Schafer <dev@codyps.com>

Enable event specification like:

Assuming that

	/sys/bus/event_source/devices/pmu/events/event_name

Contains something like

	bar=param2,foo=1,baz=param1

(struct perf_pmu_events_attr) is defined in include/linux/perf_event.h,

Make a generic one for those of us who are just using the event_str.

[PATCH v2 10/14] powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: parse catalog and populate sysfs with events

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Cody P Schafer <dev@codyps.com>

Retrieves and parses the 24x7 catalog on POWER systems that supply it
(right now, only POWER 8). Events are exposed via sysfs in the standard
fashion, and are all parameterized.

Catalog is (at the moment) only parsed on boot. It needs re-parsing
when a some hypervisor events occur. At that point we'll also need to
prevent old events from continuing to function (counter that is passed
in via spare space in the config values?).

Changelog[v2]
	- [Joe Perches, David Laight] Use beNN_to_cpu() instead of guessing
	  the size from type.
	- Use kmem_cache_free() to free page allocated with kmem_cache_alloc().

[PATCH v2 13/14] powerpc/perf/{hv-gpci, hv-common}: generate requests with counters annotated

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Cody P Schafer <dev@codyps.com>

This adds (in req-gen/) a framework for defining gpci counter requests.
It uses macro magic similar to ftrace.

Also convert the existing hv-gpci request structures and enum values to
use the new framework (and adjust old users of the structs and enum
values to cope with changes in naming).

In exchange for this macro disaster, we get autogenerated event listing
for GPCI in sysfs, build time field offset checking, and zero
duplication of information about GPCI requests.

[PATCH v2 14/14] powerpc/perf/hv-gpci: add the remaining gpci requests

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Cody P Schafer <dev@codyps.com>

Add the remaining gpci requests that contain counters suitable for use
by perf. Omit those that don't contain any counters (but note their
ommision).

Those are patches 9 and 12 iirc, no objection to that.

I've not had time to actually think about the rest, seeing how I need to
pack today and jump on an airplane tomorrow its unlikely to happen
soon.

hi,
is the reason for this to document this field for event
in "events/<event>" file?

Because once you have the field (phys_processor_idx) defined in
"formats/phys_processor_idx" you should be able to use it as in
your example:

   perf stat -e 'hv_gpci/dtbp_ptitc,phys_processor_idx=0x2/'

without any changes

We are trying to document that for the parameters that have the ? in
perf list, the parameter must be specified otherwise the event will
not be recognized.

For some events 'starting_index' refers to physical processor index
as shown in the sysfs entry:

	$ cd /sys/bus/event_source/devices/hv_gpci/events
 	$ cat dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles
	request=0x10,starting_index=phys_processor_idx,counter_info_version=0x8,length=8,offset=0

and 'perf list' for this entry shows 'starting_index' with a ?
indicating it is a requireed parameter.

IIUC, rather than have the user specify a value for 'phys_processor_idx'

	-e hv_gpci/dtbp_ptitc,phys_processor_idx=4/'

we would use following right ?

	-e hv_gpci/dtbp_ptitc,starting_index=4/'

If so, I think the interface change makes sense.  perf list would also
show 'starting_index=?' for the event. 

But in the sysfs entry, rather than show 'starting_index=?', should we
leave it as:

	'starting_index=phys_processor_idx' 

For some events 'startind_index' refers to a physical processor id
and for others it is virtual processor id. So, showing phys_processor_idx
could serve as a hint.

Michael, Cody, Ingo, Peter, let me know if you agree or have other
comments on the inteface.

Thanks,

Sukadev
