Uncore becomes die-scope on Xeon Cascade Lake-AP and perf has supported
--per-die aggregation yet.

One issue is found in check_per_pkg() for uncore events running on
AP system. On cascade Lake-AP, we have:

S0-D0
S0-D1
S1-D0
S1-D1

But in check_per_pkg(), S0-D1 and S1-D1 are skipped because the
mask bits for S0 and S1 have been set for S0-D0 and S1-D0. It doesn't
check die_id. So the counting for S0-D1 and S1-D1 are set to zero.
That's not correct.

5.001479927 S1-D1 1 5496640 Bytes llc_misses.mem_read

From above output, we can see S0-D1 and S1-D1 don't report the interval
values, they are continued to grow. That's because check_per_pkg() wrongly
decides to use zero counts for S0-D1 and S1-D1.

So in check_per_pkg(), we should use a pair of die_id + socket_id to
decide if this cpu counts needs to skip. Only considering socket_id is
not enough.

Now with this patch,

On no-die system, die_id is 0, this patch keeps original behavior unchanged.

James is fixing the aggregation, because we could get large socket numbers:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201126141328.6509-1-james.clark@xxxxxxx/


James is using "struct cpu_aggr_map" to replace "struct perf_cpu_map", but do we also need to replace the "struct perf_cpu_map" in "struct perf_evsel"? Otherwise the evsel->cpus will be inconsistent, right?

struct perf_evsel {
...
struct perf_cpu_map *cpus;
struct perf_cpu_map *own_cpus;
...
};

I think we should fix that in here as well

Yes, we need to fix that in check_per_pkg() as well. As I said above, in check_per_pkg(),

struct perf_cpu_map *cpus = evsel__cpus(counter);

we should use "struct cpu_aggr_map" here.

maybe just use hashmap (socket,die) -> bool ?


Yes, hashmap should be better, saving more memory.
