# 233628 28-Mar-2012 fabient

Add software PMC support.

New kernel events can be added at various location for sampling or counting.
This will for example allow easy system profiling whatever the processor is
with known tools like pmcstat(8).

Simultaneous usage of software PMC and hardware PMC is possible, for example
looking at the lock acquire failure, page fault while sampling on
instructions.

Correct a typo.

Submitted by: Rahul Saxena <rahul dot k dot saxena at gmail dot com>


# 204878 08-Mar-2010 fabient

Change the way shutdown is handled for log file.

pmc_flush_logfile is now non-blocking and just ask the kernel
to shutdown the file. From that point, no more data is
accepted by the log thread and when the last buffer is flushed
the file is closed.

This will remove a deadlock between pmcstat asking for
flush while it cannot flush the pipe itself.

counters defined in the reference manual. It does not support the
'uncore' events.

# 185989 12-Dec-2008 jkoshy

Add a field to disambiguate between multiple threads awaiting
callchain capture.


# 185363 27-Nov-2008 jkoshy

- Add support for PMCs in Intel CPUs of Family 6, model 0xE (Core Solo
and Core Duo), models 0xF (Core2), model 0x17 (Core2Extreme) and
model 0x1C (Atom).

In these CPUs, the actual numbers, kinds and widths of PMCs present
need to queried at run time. Support for specific "architectural"
events also needs to be queried at run time.

Model 0xE CPUs support programmable PMCs, subsequent CPUs
additionally support "fixed-function" counters.

- Use event names that are close to vendor documentation, taking in
account that:
- events with identical semantics on two or more CPUs in this family
can have differing names in vendor documentation,
- identical vendor event names may map to differing events across
CPUs,
- each type of CPU supports a different subset of measurable
events.

Fixed-function and programmable counters both use the same vendor
names for events. The use of a class name prefix ("iaf-" or
"iap-" respectively) permits these to be distinguished.

- In libpmc, refactor pmc_name_of_event() into a public interface
and an internal helper function, for use by log handling code.

- Minor code tweaks: staticize a global, freshen a few comments.

# 184802 09-Nov-2008 jkoshy

- Separate PMC class dependent code from other kinds of machine
dependencies. A 'struct pmc_classdep' structure describes operations
on PMCs; 'struct pmc_mdep' contains one or more 'struct pmc_classdep'
structures depending on the CPU in question.

Inside PMC class dependent code, row indices are relative to the
PMCs supported by the PMC class; MI code in "hwpmc_mod.c" translates
global row indices before invoking class dependent operations.

- Augment the OP_GETCPUINFO request with the number of PMCs present
in a PMC class.

- Move code common to Intel CPUs to file "hwpmc_intel.c".

- Move TSC handling to file "hwpmc_tsc.c".


# 183725 09-Oct-2008 jkoshy

- Sparsely number enumerations 'pmc_cputype' and 'pmc_event' in order to
reduce ABI disruptions when new cpu types and new PMC events are added
in the future.
- Support alternate spellings for PMC events. Derive the canonical
spelling of an event name from its enumeration name in 'enum pmc_event'.
- Provide a way for users to disambiguate between identically named events
supported by multiple classes of PMCs in a CPU.
- Change libpmc's machine-dependent event specifier parsing code to
better support CPUs containing two or more classes of PMC resources.

MFP4: Support for profiling dynamically loaded objects.

Kernel changes:

Inform hwpmc of executable objects brought into the system by
kldload() and mmap(), and of their removal by kldunload() and
munmap(). A helper function linker_hwpmc_list_objects() has been
added to "sys/kern/kern_linker.c" and is used by hwpmc to retrieve
the list of currently loaded kernel modules.

The unused `MAPPINGCHANGE' event has been deprecated in favour
of separate `MAP_IN' and `MAP_OUT' events; this change reduces
space wastage in the log.

Bump the hwpmc's ABI version to "2.0.00". Teach hwpmc(4) to
handle the map change callbacks.

Change the default per-cpu sample buffer size to hold
32 samples (up from 16).

Increment __FreeBSD_version.

libpmc(3) changes:

Update libpmc(3) to deal with the new events in the log file; bring
the pmclog(3) manual page in sync with the code.

pmcstat(8) changes:

Introduce new options to pmcstat(8): "-r" (root fs path), "-M"
(mapfile name), "-q"/"-v" (verbosity control). Option "-k" now
takes a kernel directory as its argument but will also work with
the older invocation syntax.

Rework string handling in pmcstat(8) to use an opaque type for
interned strings. Clean up ELF parsing code and add support for
tracking dynamic object mappings reported by a v2.0.00 hwpmc(4).

Report statistics at the end of a log conversion run depending
on the requested verbosity level.

# 153072 04-Dec-2005 ru

Fix -Wundef.


# 147867 09-Jul-2005 jkoshy

sys/dev/hwpmc/hwpmc_{amd,piv,ppro}.c:
- Update driver interrupt statistics correctly.

sys/sys/pmc.h, sys/dev/hwpmc/hwpmc_mod.c:
- Fix a bug affecting debug printfs.
- Move the 'stalled' flag from being in a bit in the
'pm_flags' field of a 'struct pmc' to a field of its own in the
same structure. This flag is updated from the NMI handler and
keeping it separate makes it easier to avoid races with other
parts of the code.

sys/dev/hwpmc/hwpmc_logging.c:
- Do arithmetic with 'uintptr_t' types rather that casting
to and from 'char *'.

# 147708 30-Jun-2005 jkoshy

MFP4:

- pmcstat(8) gprof output mode fixes:

lib/libpmc/pmclog.{c,h}, sys/sys/pmclog.h:
+ Add a 'is_usermode' field to the PMCLOG_PCSAMPLE event
+ Add an 'entryaddr' field to the PMCLOG_PROCEXEC event,
so that pmcstat(8) can determine where the runtime loader
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 is getting loaded.

sys/kern/kern_exec.c:
+ Use a local struct to group the entry address of the image being
exec()'ed and the process credential changed flag to the exec
handling hook inside hwpmc(4).

usr.sbin/pmcstat/*:
+ Support "-k kernelpath", "-D sampledir".
+ Implement the ELF bits of 'gmon.out' profile generation in a new
file "pmcstat_log.c". Move all log related functions to this
file.
+ Move local definitions and prototypes to "pmcstat.h"

- Other bug fixes:
+ lib/libpmc/pmclog.c: correctly handle EOF in pmclog_read().
+ sys/dev/hwpmc_mod.c: unconditionally log a PROCEXIT event to all
attached PMCs when a process exits.
+ sys/sys/pmc.h: correct a function prototype.
+ Improve usage checks in pmcstat(8).

# 145774 01-May-2005 jkoshy

Add convenience APIs pmc_width() and pmc_capabilities() to -lpmc.
Have pmcstat(8) and pmccontrol(8) use these APIs.

Return PMC class-related constants (PMC widths and capabilities)
with the OP GETCPUINFO call leaving OP PMCINFO to return only the
dynamic information associated with a PMC (i.e., whether enabled,
owner pid, reload count etc.).

Allow pmc_read() (i.e., OPS PMCRW) on active self-attached PMCs to
get upto-date values from hardware since we can guarantee that the
hardware is running the correct PMC at the time of the call.

Bug fixes:
- (x86 class processors) Fix a bug that prevented an RDPMC
instruction from being recognized as permitted till after the
attached process had context switched out and back in again after
a pmc_start() call.

Tighten the rules for using RDPMC class instructions: a GETMSR
OP is now allowed only after an OP ATTACH has been done by the
PMC's owner to itself. OP GETMSR is not allowed for PMCs that
track descendants, for PMCs attached to processes other than
their owner processes.

- (P4/HTT processors only) Fix a bug that caused the MI and MD
layers to get out of sync. Add a new MD operation 'get_config()'
as part of this fix.

- Allow multiple system-mode PMCs at the same row-index but on
different CPUs to be allocated.

- Reject allocation of an administratively disabled PMC.

Misc. code cleanups and refactoring. Improve a few comments.


# 145615 28-Apr-2005 jkoshy

Return the correct register number in the 'get_msr()' MD function.

Only allow a process to use the x86 RDPMC instruction if it has
allocated and attached a PMC to itself.

Inform the MD layer of the "pseudo context switch out" that needs
to be done when the last thread of a process is exiting.


# 145336 20-Apr-2005 marcel

o Reverse the inclusion chain from MD->MI to MI->MD by including
<machine/pmc_mdep.h> here.
o Remove the #error directive. There's no union md_pm referenced
on (as of yet) unsupported platforms and will not be if there
are no MD extensions for a particular platform.

Further cleanups can be expected.
