[PATCH 66/73] perf regs x86: Add X86 specific arch__intr_reg_mask()

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Fri May 17 2019 - 15:43:24 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

XMM registers can be collected on Icelake and later platforms.

Add specific arch__intr_reg_mask(), which creating an event to check if
the kernel and hardware can collect XMM registers.

Test on Skylake which doesn't support XMM registers collection. There is
nothing changed.

#perf record -I?
available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9
R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

-I, --intr-regs[=<any register>]
sample selected machine registers on
interrupt, use '-I?' to list register names

#perf record -I
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.905 MB perf.data (2520 samples) ]

#perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:
IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|REGS_INTR, read_format: ID, disabled: 1,
inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3,
sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol:
1, bpf_event: 1, sample_regs_intr: 0xff0fff

Test on Icelake which support XMM registers collection.

#perf record -I?
available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10
R11 R12 R13 R14 R15 XMM0 XMM1 XMM2 XMM3 XMM4 XMM5 XMM6 XMM7 XMM8 XMM9
XMM10 XMM11 XMM12 XMM13 XMM14 XMM15

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

-I, --intr-regs[=<any register>]
sample selected machine registers on
interrupt, use '-I?' to list register names

#perf record -I
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.800 MB perf.data (318 samples) ]

#perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:
IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|REGS_INTR, read_format: ID, disabled: 1,
inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3,
sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol:
1, bpf_event: 1, sample_regs_intr: 0xffffffff00ff0fff

Committer notes:

Don't set attr.sample_period as a named struct init, as it is part of an
unnamed union in 'struct perf_event_attr', and doing so breaks the build
on older gcc versions, such as:

gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-55)
gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-23) (GCC)

arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c: In function 'arch__intr_reg_mask':
arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:279: error: unknown field 'sample_period' specified in initializer
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:279: warning: missing braces around initializer
arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:279: warning: (near initialization for 'attr.<anonymous>')
