[PATCH v7] perf stat: Fix wrong skipping for per-die aggregation

From: Jin Yao
Date: Sun Jan 17 2021 - 23:08:21 EST


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 hashmap(socket,die) to decide if
the cpu counts needs to skip. Only considering socket is not enough.

Now with this patch,

On no-die system, die_id is 0, actually it's hashmap(socket,0), original behavior
is not changed.

v7:
It reported build error on 32-bit system (such as cross build by mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc).

In v7,
1. Use size_t to replace uint64_t.
2. The hash key is changed from 'die_id << 32 | socket_id' to 'die_id << 16 | socket_id',
16 bits is enough for socket id , right?

v6:
Fix the perf test python failure by adding hashmap.c to python-ext-sources.

root@kbl-ppc:~# ./perf test python
19: 'import perf' in python : Ok

v5:
Hash key is changed to die_id << 32 | socket.
In pkg_id_hash, return (int64_t)key & 0xffffffff; actually it's socket.

v4:
v3 used unnecessary bool allocatioin. v4 just uses the hash value '(void *)1'.

v4 is compiled ok with tmp.perf/core.

v3:
Since for some cpumap functions, the return type is changed from 'int' to
'struct aggr_cpu_id', the patch needs to be updated as well.

before:
d = cpu_map__get_die()

after:
d = cpu_map__get_die().die

v3 is compiled ok with tmp.perf/core.

v2:
Use hashmap to check the used socket+die pair.
