perf: Add support for full Intel event lists v8

perf: Add support for full Intel event lists v8

[Andi Kleen]

Since it seems the download mechanism is controversal, 
I removed the downloader for now until a suitable distribution
method with kernel.org can be established. This is just
the rest of the perf JSON event code that should hopefully
not be controversal.

[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.]
[v6: Rebase. Add acked by from Namhyung and address feedback. Some minor
fixes. Should be good to go now I hope. The period patch was dropped,
as that is already handled. I added an extra patch for a --quiet argument
for perf list]
[v7: Address Jiri's feedback. Various changes and some patches
were split. perf download uses curl now instead of wget.]
[v8: Removed perf download for now. Port to latest tip/perf/core]

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.

Intel releases these JSON files in a standardized JSON format.
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 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. For example the format
can be used on POWER.

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.

Patches also available from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc perf/json

[PATCH 01/10] perf, tools: Add jsmn `jasmine' JSON parser

[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.
v3: Minor checkpatch fixes.

[PATCH 04/10] 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 05/10] perf, tools: Add support for reading JSON event files

[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
v4: Update manpages.
v5: Don't remove dot in fixname. Fix compile error. Add include
protection. Comment realloc.
v6: Include debug/util.h

[PATCH 06/10] perf, tools: Automatically look for event file name for cpu

[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.

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
v3: Minor updates and handle EVENTMAP.
v4: Unify with header.c. Now uses CPUID directly.

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

Automatically adapt the now wider and word wrapped perf list
output to wider terminals. This requires querying the terminal
before the auto pager takes over, and exporting this
information from the pager subsystem.

This needs adding an all event iterator to pmu.c

v3: Only iterate cpu pmu to avoid bogus errors.
Move pmu iterator to extra patch
v4: Include aliases.c again

[PATCH 10/10] perf, tools: Add a --no-desc flag to perf list

[Andi Kleen]

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

Add a --no-desc flag to perf list to not print the event descriptions
that were earlier added for JSON events. This may be useful to
get a less crowded listing.

It's still default to print descriptions as that is the more useful
default for most users.

Before:

% perf list
...
  baclears.any                                       [Counts the total number when the front end is
                                                      resteered, mainly when the BPU cannot provide a
                                                      correct prediction and this is corrected by other
                                                      branch handling mechanisms at the front end]
  br_inst_exec.all_branches                          [Speculative and retired branches]

After:

% perf list --no-desc
...
  baclears.any                                       [Kernel PMU event]
  br_inst_exec.all_branches                          [Kernel PMU event]

v2: Rename --quiet to --no-desc. Add option to man page.

Ingo, Jiri, Andi,

Can we get this patchset merged please ? It is a step forward
in eliminating raw event codes right ?

We added hundreds of events to sysfs for Power7. We don't
want to do the same for Power8 because this JSON file solution
is clearly better.

But we currently have a regression in functionality from Power7
to Power8 :-(

Even if 'perf download' is left out this patchset is still
useful IMHO. Users (specially those who currently struggle
with raw codes, are highly qualified and) could wget the
JSON files as and when needed. 

Being able to install the JSON files and download updates is
a big plus, but is something thse users can live without for
now.

hi,
I talked to Andi about this on LinuxCon and he said he works
on that.. his current struggle was to get the ftp space IIRC

not sure whats the current status now, but I had the feeling
it wont take long..
