[patch 1/4] x86/perf/intel/cstate: Make hotplug handling actually work

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sun Mar 20 2016 - 15:01:15 EST


The current implementation aside of being a incomprehensible mess is broken.

# cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cstate_core/cpumask
0-17

That's on a quad socket machine with 72 physical cores! Qualitee stuff.

So it's not a surprise, that event migration in case of cpu hotplug does not
work either.

# perf stat -e cstate_core/c6-residency/ -C 1 sleep 60 &
# echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

Tracing cstate_pmu_event_update gives me:

[001] cstate_pmu_event_update <-event_sched_out

After the fix it properly moves the event:

[001] cstate_pmu_event_update <-event_sched_out
[073] cstate_pmu_event_update <-__perf_event_read
[073] cstate_pmu_event_update <-event_sched_out

The migration of pkg events does not work either. Not that I'm surprised.

I really could not be bothered to decode that loop mess and simply replaced it
by querying the proper cpumasks which give us the answer in a comprehensible
way.

This also requires to direct the event to the current active reader cpu in
cstate_pmu_event_init() otherwise the hotplug logic can't work.
