Parse device tree to detect IMC units. Traverse through each IMC unit
node to find supported events and corresponding unit/scale files (if any).
Here is the DTS file for reference:
https://github.com/open-power/ima-catalog/blob/master/81E00612.4E0100.dts
The device tree for IMC counters starts at the node "imc-counters".
This node contains all the IMC PMU nodes and event nodes
for these IMC PMUs. The PMU nodes have an "events" property which has a
phandle value for the actual events node. The events are separated from
the PMU nodes to abstract out the common events. For example, PMU node
"mcs0", "mcs1" etc. will contain a pointer to "nest-mcs-events" since,
the events are common between these PMUs. These events have a different
prefix based on their relation to different PMUs, and hence, the PMU
nodes themselves contain an "events-prefix" property. The value for this
property concatenated to the event name, forms the actual event
name. Also, the PMU have a "reg" field as the base offset for the events
which belong to this PMU. This "reg" field is added to an event in the
"events" node, which gives us the location of the counter data. Kernel
code uses this offset as event configuration value.
This is probably because I haven't looked at this area recently, but
what do you mean by 'event configuration value'? If I understand
correctly, you're saying something like "kernel code stores this
calculated location in the event configuration data" - is that about
right?
Yes. Thats right. So incase of IMC, event are stored in the
memory and each event has specific offset in the memory.
We are using this event offset as the "event configuration value".
Here is the example, consider event
/sys/devices/nest_mcs0/events# cat PM_MCS0_DOWN_128B_DATA_XFER
event=0x198
#
Apologies if this is a dumb question.
Device tree parser code also looks for scale/unit property in the event
node and passes on the value as an event attr for perf interface to use
in the post processing by the perf tool. Some PMUs may have common scale
and unit properties which implies that all events supported by this PMU
inherit the scale and unit properties of the PMU itself. For those
events, we need to set the common unit and scale values.
For failure to initialize any unit or any event, disable that unit and
continue setting up the rest of them.

We trust the name will never become a dangling pointer? We don't need to

Yes. Event names are from the DTS and can add a check
for it. Secondly we allocate memory for this in imc_events_node_parser()
and duplicate it.
Should the pointer be const?

I see you allocating memory here and in set_event_property for the
name. Would it be better to move that into imc_event_info and make that
function responsible for the whole set of allocations regarding the
event?
No, I would prefer the current way. Reason being, incase of
allocation in set_event_property is only incase of scale and
unit property since perf tool expects scale file to be
exported as <eventname>.scale. And secondly memory
allocated in imc_event_info is to carry the event configuretion
value and it is not for event_name.
(I'm happy to be talked out of this - it just seems like it would make
it much easier to reason about the lifecycles of the memory allocations.)

Why do we increment the idx an extra two times if event_scale is
provided? We don't do that for the other ones...

I find it really difficult to convince myself of the control flow in
that loop.
In particular, the comment at the top claims:
+ * If there is an issue in parsing a single property of
+ * this event, we just clean up the buffers, but we still
+ * continue to parse.
I am not quite sure precisely what that means. I first thought it meant
that if you cannot parse one of the properties of the event
(scale/unit), you would clean up the entire event, and parse the next
entire event. It looks like the code in fact simply cleans up that
*property* and continues to parse other properties.
Does that make sense to do? If you can't parse the scale of an event for
instance, does it make sense to continue with the rest of that event?
OK this is definitely true if we cant parse the "reg" property.
Will fix it.
Initially I was concerned that 'continue' wasn't sufficient to even
clean up the property, but I worked through the error conditions of
set_event_property and now I am satisfied.
