[PATCH RFC v4 00/13] perf pmu-events: Support event aliasing for system PMUs

From: John Garry
Date: Thu Oct 08 2020 - 06:19:11 EST


Currently event aliasing and metrics for only CPU and uncore PMUs is
supported. In fact, only uncore PMUs aliasing is supported for when the
uncore PMUs are fixed for a CPU, which may not always be the case for
certain architectures.

This series adds support for PMU event aliasing and metrics for system and
other uncore PMUs which are not tied to a specific CPU.

For this, we introduce system event tables in generated pmu-events.c,
which contain a per-SoC table of events of all its system PMUs. Each
per-PMU event is matched by a "COMPAT" property.

When creating aliased and metrics PMUs, we treat core/uncore and
system PMUs differently:

- For CPU PMUs, we always match for the event mapfile based on the CPUID.
This has not changed.

- For an system PMUs, we iterate through all the events in all the system
PMU tables.

Matches are based on the "COMPAT" property matching the PMU sysfs
identifier contents, in /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<PMU>/identifier

Uncore PMUs, may be matched via CPUID or same as system PMU, depending
on whether the uncore PMU is tied to a specific CPUID.

Initial reference support is also added for ARM SMMUv3 PMCG (Performance
Monitor Event Group) PMU for HiSilicon hip09 platform with only a single
event so far - see driver in drivers/perf/arm_smmuv3_pmu.c reference.

Here is a sample output with this series on Huawei D06CS board:

Support is also added for imx8mm DDR PMU and HiSilicon hip09 uncore events.
Some events for hip09 may not be accurate at the moment.

Series is here:
https://github.com/hisilicon/kernel-dev/tree/private-topic-perf-5.9-sys-pmu-events-v4

Kernel part is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1602149181-237415-1-git-send-email-john.garry@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#mc34f758ab72f3d4a90d854b9bda7e6bbb90835b2

Differences to v3:
- Rebase to v5.9-rc7
- Includes Ian's uncore metric expressions Fix and another fix
- Add hip09 uncore events
- Tidy jevents.c changes a bit

Differences to v2:
- fixups for imx8mm JSONs
- fix for metrics being repeated per PMU
- use sysfs__read_str()
- fix typo in PMCG JSON
- drop evsel fix, which someone else fixed

Differences to v1:
- Stop using SoC id and use a per-PMU identifier instead
- Add metric group sys events support
- This is a bit hacky
- Add imx8mm DDR Perf support
- Add fix for parse events sel
- without it, I get this spewed for metric event:
