perf: Add support for full Intel event lists v5

perf: Add support for full Intel event lists v5

[Andi Kleen]

[v2: Review feedback addressed and some minor improvements]
[v3: More review feedback addressed and handle test failures better.
Ported to latest tip/core.]
[v4: Addressed Namhyung's feedback]
[v5: Rebase to latest tree. Minor description update.]

perf has high level events which are useful in many cases. However
there are some tuning situations where low level events in the CPU
are needed. Traditionally this required specifying the event in 
raw form (very awkward) or using non standard frontends
like ocperf or patching in libpfm.

Intel CPUs can have very large event files (Haswell has ~336 core events,
much more if you add uncore or all the offcore combinations), which is too
large to describe through the kernel interface. It would require tying up
significant amounts of unswappable memory for this.

oprofile always had separate event list files that were maintained by 
the CPU vendors. The oprofile events were shipped with the tool.
The Intel events get updated regularly, for example to add references
to the specification updates or add new events.

Unfortunately oprofile usually did not keep up with these updates,
so the events in oprofile were often out of date. In addition
it ties up quite a bit of disk space, mostly for CPUs you don't have.

This patch kit implements another mechanism that avoids these problems.
Intel releases the event lists for CPUs in a standardized JSON format
on a download server.

I implemented an automatic downloader to get the event file for the
current CPU.  The events are stored in ~/.cache/pmu-events.
Then perf adds a parser that converts the JSON format into perf event
aliases, which then can be used directly as any other perf event.

The parsing is done using a simple existing JSON library.

The events are still abstracted for perf, but the abstraction mechanism is
through the downloaded file instead of through the kernel.

The JSON format and perf parser has some minor Intelisms, but they
are simple and small and optional. It's easy to extend, so it would be
possible to use it for other CPUs too, add different pmu attributes, and
add new download sites to the downloader tool.

Currently only core events are supported, uncore may come at a later
point. No kernel changes, all code in perf user tools only.

Some of the parser files are partially shared with separate event parser
library and are thus 2-clause BSD licensed.

[PATCH 1/9] perf, tools: Add jsmn `jasmine' JSON parser v2

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

I need a JSON parser. This adds the simplest JSON
parser I could find -- Serge Zaitsev's jsmn `jasmine' --
to the perf library. I merely converted it to (mostly)
Linux style and added support for non 0 terminated input.

The parser is quite straight forward and does not
copy any data, just returns tokens with offsets
into the input buffer. So it's relatively efficient
and simple to use.

The code is not fully checkpatch clean, but I didn't
want to completely fork the upstream code.

Original source: http://zserge.bitbucket.org/jsmn.html

In addition I added a simple wrapper that mmaps a json
file and provides some straight forward access functions.

Used in follow-on patches to parse event files.

v2: Address review feedback.

[PATCH 3/9] perf, tools: Add support for reading JSON event files v3

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Add a parser for Intel style JSON event files. This allows
to use an Intel event list directly with perf. The Intel
event lists can be quite large and are too big to store
in unswappable kernel memory.

The parser code knows how to convert the JSON fields
to perf fields. The conversion code is straight forward.
It knows (very little) Intel specific information, and can be easily
extended to handle fields for other CPUs.

The parser code is partially shared with an independent parsing
library, which is 2-clause BSD licenced. To avoid any conflicts I marked
those files as BSD licenced too. As part of perf they become GPLv2.

The events are handled using the existing alias machinery.

We output the BriefDescription in perf list.

Right now the json file can be specified as an argument
to perf stat/record/list. Followon patches will automate this.

JSON files look like this:

[
  {
    "EventCode": "0x00",
    "UMask": "0x01",
    "EventName": "INST_RETIRED.ANY",
    "BriefDescription": "Instructions retired from execution.",
    "PublicDescription": "Instructions retired from execution.",
    "Counter": "Fixed counter 1",
    "CounterHTOff": "Fixed counter 1",
    "SampleAfterValue": "2000003",
    "MSRIndex": "0",
    "MSRValue": "0",
    "TakenAlone": "0",
    "CounterMask": "0",
    "Invert": "0",
    "AnyThread": "0",
    "EdgeDetect": "0",
    "PEBS": "0",
    "PRECISE_STORE": "0",
    "Errata": "null",
    "Offcore": "0"
  },

v2: Address review feedback. Rename option to --event-files
v3: Add JSON example

[PATCH 4/9] perf, tools: Automatically look for event file name for cpu v2

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

When no JSON event file is specified automatically look
for a suitable file in ~/.cache/pmu-events. A "perf download" can
automatically add files there for the current CPUs.

This does not include the actual event files with perf,
but they can be automatically downloaded instead
(implemented in the next patch)

This has the advantage that the events can be always uptodate,
because they are freshly downloaded. In oprofile we always
had problems with out of date or incomplete events files.

The event file format is per architecture, but can be
extended for other architectures.

v2: Supports XDG_CACHE_HOME and defaults to ~/.cache/pmu-events

[PATCH 5/9] perf, tools: Add perf download to download event files v3

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Add a downloader to automatically download the right
files from a download site.

This is implemented as a script calling wget, similar to
perf archive. The perf driver automatically calls the right
binary. The downloader is extensible, but currently only
implements an Intel event download.  It would be straightforward
to add other sites too for other vendors.

The downloaded event files are put into ~/.cache/pmu-events, where the
builtin event parser in util/* can find them automatically.

v2: Use ~/.cache
v3: Check for wget. Some cleanups.

+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This command automatically downloads event list for the current CPU and

+The other tools automatically look for them there. The CPU can be also

+
+The downloading is done using http through wget, which needs
+to be installed.
+
+The user should regularly call this to download updated event lists
+for the current CPU.
+
+Note the downloaded files are stored per user, so if you use
+perf as normal user or with sudo you have to run perf download
+for both or specify --events-file for the users manually.

[PATCH 6/9] perf, tools: Allow events with dot

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The Intel events use a dot to separate event name and unit mask.
Allow dot in names in the scanner, and remove special handling
of dot as EOF. Also remove the hack in jevents to replace dot
with underscore. This way dotted events can be specified
directly by the user.

I'm not fully sure this change to the scanner is correct
(what was the dot special case good for?), but I haven't
found anything that breaks with it so far at least.

[PATCH 8/9] perf, tools, test: Add test case for alias and JSON parsing v2

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Add a simple test case to perf test that runs perf download and parses
all the events. This needs adding an all event iterator to pmu.c

v2: Rename identifiers

[PATCH 9/9] perf, tools, record: Always allow to overide default period v2

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Fix the logic to allow overriding event default periods with -c or -F
on the command line.  I'm not sure I understand this if() fully, but
this change makes all cases I tested work (tracepoint with default, default,
,-c, -F)

This fixed specifying -c / -F with json event list events,
which have a default period. It should do the same
for trace point events.

Are you sure you tested all cases after this patch applied?

When I apply it, it doesn't record any samples..

  $ perf record -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.309 MB perf.data 
                 (~13494 samples) ]

  $ perf report --stdio
  Error:
  The perf.data file has no samples!
  # To display the perf.data header info,
  # please use --header/--header-only options.

  $ perf evlist -F
  cycles: sample_freq=0


Thanks,
Namhyung

Re: [PATCH 9/9] perf, tools, record: Always allow to overide default period v2

[Andi Kleen]

I saw samples.

Oh well we can just drop it. The only difference is that the 
event list cannot set a period then.

It's as broken as before.

Hmm.. this will print the description at right side and I think it'd be
better if it prints in another line(s) like below:


  agu_bypass_cancel.count                            [Kernel PMU event]
        This event counts executed load operations with all the following
         traits: 1. addressing of the format [base + offset], 2. the offset
         is between 1 and 2047, 3. the address specified in the base register
         is in one page and the address [base+offset] is in an

I just tweaked it using -v option for perf list.  Below is the change I
made on top of your series.  What do you think?

I tested with a downloaded event, and it does have samples.  But the
frequency could not be changed even with your patch.

  $ perf record -a -e uops_retired.all -F 4000 sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.327 MB perf.data (~14281 samples) ]

  $ perf evlist -F
  cpu/uops_retired.all/: sample_freq=2000003


>
> It's as broken as before.

At least, it worked well for events don't have a default sample
freq/period which means all but tracepoint events.  For tracepoint
events, it makes little sense to change the default so I decided not to
touch it.  

But with your change, the downloaded events might have a default
freq/period setting now.  So I'd like to make it right.  I'll send a fix
for this right soon.

Thanks,
Namhyung

So I played with this patchset for a little while, and it's mostly good
and I left comments for each patch I have concerns.  With that change,

I think it's better to show the descriptions by default without 
an extra option. I suspect most people want to see them, or if they
need them they won't know about obscure -v options.

The problem with this format is that it is not compatible, so it would
break existing parsers that look at perf list output.  That is why I ended up
with the right side format.

I prefer not to apply that patch.

I guess what could make sense is a quiet option to not print
descriptions.

I partially agree, but I guess adding -v option to the command is not
that hard for them. :)  Maybe we could add a message in order to advise
users to use -v option for description like below:

  $ perf list
  # Use -v/--verbose to see event description (if exists)

Hmm.. I think existing parsers should not use -v option then.  The perf
list was for listing only event names (and their types).

I think the main problem of the right side format is that it hurts
readability especially on small screens/terminals.

I still get this error display

33: Test parsing JSON aliases                              :invalid or unsupported event: 'clockticks'
invalid or unsupported event: 'clockticks'
 Parsed 521 events : Ok

I guess you could iterate just cpu PMU
