Subject: [PATCH V2 1/3] powerpc/perf: Fix branch_filter support for multiple filters in powerpc
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2022 20:22:53 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220921145255.20972-1-atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

For PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK sample type, different branch_sample_type
ie branch filters are supported. The branch filters are requested via
event attribute "branch_sample_type". Multiple branch filters can be
passed in event attribute.

Example:
perf record -b -o- -B --branch-filter any,ind_call true

Powerpc does not support having multiple branch filters at
sametime. In powerpc, branch filters for branch stack sampling
is set via MMCRA IFM bits [32:33]. But currently when requesting
for multiple filter types, the "perf record" command does not
report any error.

Example:
perf record -b -o- -B --branch-filter any,save_type true
perf record -b -o- -B --branch-filter any,ind_call true

The "bhrb_filter_map" function in PMU driver code does the
validity check for supported branch filters. But this check
is done for single filter. Hence "perf record" will proceed
here without reporting any error.

Fix power_pmu_event_init to return EOPNOTSUPP when multiple
branch filters are requested in the event attr.

After the fix:
perf record --branch-filter any,ind_call -- ls
Error:
cycles: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts.
Try 'perf stat'
