perf parse-events x86: Avoid sorting uops_retired.slots

As topdown.slots may appear as slots it may get confused with
uops_retired.slots which is an invalid perf metric event group leader.

Special case uops_retired.slots to avoid this confusion.

perf evsel amd: Fix IBS error message

AMD IBS can do per-process profiling[1] and is no longer restricted to
per-cpu or systemwide only. Remove stale error message. Also, checking
just exclude_kernel is not sufficient since IBS does not support any
privilege filters. So include all exclude_* checks. And finally, move
these checks under tools/perf/arch/x86/ from generic code.

Before:
$ sudo ./perf record -e ibs_op//k -C 0
Error:
AMD IBS may only be available in system-wide/per-cpu mode. Try
using -a, or -C and workload affinity

After:
$ sudo ./perf record -e ibs_op//k -C 0
Error:
AMD IBS doesn't support privilege filtering. Try again without
the privilege modifiers (like 'k') at the end.

perf evlist: Remove __evlist__add_default

__evlist__add_default adds a cycles event to a typically empty evlist
and was extended for hybrid with evlist__add_default_hybrid, as more
than 1 PMU was necessary. Rather than have dedicated logic for the
cycles event, this change switches to parsing 'cycles:P' which will
handle wildcarding the PMUs appropriately for hybrid.

perf evsel: Add arch_evsel__hw_name()

The commit 55bcf6ef314ae8ba ("perf: Extend PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and
PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE") extends the two types to become PMU aware types for
a hybrid system. However, current evsel__hw_name doesn't take the PMU
type into account. It mistakenly returns the "unknown-hardware" for the
hardware event with a specific PMU type.

Add an arch specific arch_evsel__hw_name() to specially handle the PMU
aware hardware event.

Currently, the extend PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE is only
supported by X86. Only implement the specific arch_evsel__hw_name() for
X86 in the patch.

Nothing is changed for the other archs.

perf record ibs: Warn about sampling period skew

Samples without an L3 miss are discarded and counter is reset with
random value (between 1-15 for fetch PMU and 1-127 for op PMU) when IBS
L3 miss filtering is enabled. This causes a sampling period skew but
there is no way to reconstruct aggregated sampling period. So print a
warning at perf record if user sets l3missonly=1.

Ex:

# perf record -c 10000 -C 0 -e ibs_op/l3missonly=1/
WARNING: Hw internally resets sampling period when L3 Miss Filtering is enabled
and tagged operation does not cause L3 Miss. This causes sampling period skew.

perf record: Support sample-read topdown metric group for hybrid platforms

With the hardware TopDown metrics feature, the sample-read feature should
be supported for a TopDown group, e.g., sample a non-topdown event and read
a Topdown metric group. But the current perf record code errors are out.

For a TopDown metric group,the slots event must be the leader of the group,
but the leader slots event doesn't support sampling. To support sample-read
the TopDown metric group, uses the 2nd event of the group as the "leader"
for the purposes of sampling.

Only the platform with the TopDown metric feature supports sample-read the
topdown group. In commit acb65150a47c ("perf record: Support sample-read
topdown metric group"), it adds arch_topdown_sample_read() to indicate
whether the TopDown group supports sample-read, it should only work on the
non-hybrid systems, this patch extends the support for hybrid platforms.

Before:

# ./perf record -e "{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}:S" -a sleep 1
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cpu_core/topdown-retiring/).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

After:

# ./perf record -e "{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}:S" -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.238 MB perf.data (369 samples) ]

perf evlist: Extend arch_evsel__must_be_in_group to support hybrid systems

For the hybrid system, the "slots" event changes to "cpu_core/slots/", need
extend API arch_evsel__must_be_in_group() to support hybrid systems.

In the origin code, for hybrid system event "cpu_core/slots/", the output
of the API arch_evsel__must_be_in_group() is "false" (in fact,it should be
"true"). Currently only one API evsel__remove_from_group() calls it. In
evsel__remove_from_group(), it adds the second condition to check, so the
output of evsel__remove_from_group() still is correct. That's the reason
why there isn't an instant error. I'd like to fix the issue found in API
arch_evsel__must_be_in_group() in case someone else using the function in
the other place.

A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while
the current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu".

The evsel->pmu_name can be used to replace the "cpu" to fix the issue.
For a hybrid platform, the pmu_name must be non-NULL. Because there are
at least two core PMUs. The PMU has to be specified.
For a non-hybrid platform, the pmu_name may be NULL. Because there is
only one core PMU, "cpu". For a NULL pmu_name, we can safely assume that
it is a "cpu" PMU.

In case other PMUs also define the "slots" event, checking the PMU type
as well.

perf evlist: Keep topdown counters in weak group

On Intel Icelake, topdown events must always be grouped with a slots
event as leader. When a metric is parsed a weak group is formed and
retried if perf_event_open fails. The retried events aren't grouped
breaking the slots leader requirement. This change modifies the weak
group "reset" behavior so that topdown events aren't broken from the
group for the retry.

perf evsel: Don't set exclude_guest by default

Perf tool sets exclude_guest by default while calling perf_event_open().
Because IBS does not have filtering capability, it always gets rejected
by IBS PMU driver and thus perf falls back to non-precise sampling. Fix
it by not setting exclude_guest by default on AMD.

Before:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -vvv true |& grep precise
precise_ip 3
decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
precise_ip 2
decreasing precise_ip by one (1)
precise_ip 1
decreasing precise_ip by one (0)

After:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -vvv true |& grep precise
precise_ip 3
decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
precise_ip 2

Committer notes:

Fixup init to zero for perf_env in older compilers:

arch/x86/util/evsel.c:15:26: error: missing field 'os_release' initializer [-Werror,-Wmissing-field-initializers]
struct perf_env env = {0};
^

Committer notes:

Namhyung remarked:

It'd be nice if it can cover explicit "-e cycles:pp" as well.

Ravi clarified:

For explicit :pp modifier, evsel->precise_max does not get set and thus perf
does not try with different attr->precise_ip values while exclude_guest set.
So no issue with explicit :pp:

$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -e cycles:pp -vvv |& grep "precise_ip\|exclude_guest"
precise_ip 2
exclude_guest 1
precise_ip 2
exclude_guest 1
switching off exclude_guest, exclude_host
precise_ip 2
^C

Also, with :P modifier, evsel->precise_max gets set but exclude_guest does
not and thus :P also works fine:

$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -e cycles:P -vvv |& grep "precise_ip\|exclude_guest"
precise_ip 3
decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
precise_ip 2
^C

# ea8d0ed6 02-Feb-2021 Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

perf tools: Support PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT

The new sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, is an alternative of the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. Users can apply either the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type or the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample
type to retrieve the sample weight, but they cannot apply both sample
types simultaneously.

The new sample type shares the same space as the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT
sample type. The lower 32 bits are exactly the same for both sample
type. The higher 32 bits may be different for different architecture.

Add arch specific arch_evsel__set_sample_weight() to set the new sample
type for X86. Only store the lower 32 bits for the sample->weight if the
new sample type is applied. In practice, no memory access could last
than 4G cycles. No data will be lost.

If the kernel doesn't support the new sample type. Fall back to the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type.

There is no impact for other architectures.

Committer notes:

Fixup related to PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE, present in acme/perf/core
but not upstream yet.
