[PATCH 47/60] perf header: Support CPU PMU capabilities

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Mon Apr 20 2020 - 07:57:00 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

To stitch LBR call stack, the max LBR information is required. So the
CPU PMU capabilities information has to be stored in perf header.

Add a new feature HEADER_CPU_PMU_CAPS for CPU PMU capabilities.
Retrieve all CPU PMU capabilities, not just max LBR information.

Add variable max_branches to facilitate future usage.

Committer testing:

# ls -la /sys/devices/cpu/caps/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Apr 17 10:53 .
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 0 Apr 17 07:02 ..
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Apr 17 10:53 max_precise
#
# cat /sys/devices/cpu/caps/max_precise
0
# perf record sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.033 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
#
# perf report --header-only | egrep 'cpu(desc|.*capabilities)'
# cpudesc : AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor
# cpu pmu capabilities: max_precise=0
#

And then on an Intel machine:

$ ls -la /sys/devices/cpu/caps/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Apr 17 10:51 .
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 0 Apr 17 10:04 ..
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Apr 17 11:37 branches
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Apr 17 10:51 max_precise
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Apr 17 11:37 pmu_name
$ cat /sys/devices/cpu/caps/max_precise
3
$ cat /sys/devices/cpu/caps/branches
32
$ cat /sys/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name
skylake
$ perf record sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
$ perf report --header-only | egrep 'cpu(desc|.*capabilities)'
# cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz
# cpu pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=skylake
$
