Series perf pmu-events: Support event aliasing for system PMUs | expand

Commit Message

John Garry May 7, 2020, 11:57 a.m. UTC
Process the JSONs to find support for "system" events, which are not tied
to a specific CPUID.

We now use a "COMPAT" property to match against the namespace ID from the
kernel PMU driver.

The generated pmu-events.c will now have 2 tables: a. As before, we will
have the event table for CPU events. b. New pmu_sys_event_tables[] table,
which will have events matched to SoCs.

It will look like this:

struct pmu_event pme_hisilicon_hip08_sys[] = {
{
	.name = "cycles",
	.compat = "HIP08",
	.event = "event=0",
	.desc = "Clock cycles",
	.topic = "smmu v3 pmcg",
	.long_desc = "Clock cycles",
},
{
	.name = "smmuv3_pmcg.l1_tlb",
	.compat = "HIP08",
	.event = "event=0x8a",
	.desc = "SMMUv3 PMCG l1_tlb. Unit: smmuv3_pmcg ",
	.topic = "smmu v3 pmcg",
	.long_desc = "SMMUv3 PMCG l1_tlb",
	.pmu = "smmuv3_pmcg",
},
...
};

struct pmu_event pme_arm_cortex_a53[] = {
{
	.name = "ext_mem_req",
	.event = "event=0xc0",
	.desc = "External memory request",
	.topic = "memory",
},
{
	.name = "ext_mem_req_nc",
	.event = "event=0xc1",
	.desc = "Non-cacheable external memory request",
	.topic = "memory",
},
...
};

struct pmu_event pme_hisilicon_hip08_cpu[] = {
{
	.name = "l2d_cache_refill_wr",
	.event = "event=0x53",
	.desc = "L2D cache refill, write",
	.topic = "core imp def",
	.long_desc = "Attributable Level 2 data cache refill, write",
},
...
};

struct pmu_events_map pmu_events_map[] = {
{
	.cpuid = "0x00000000410fd030",
	.version = "v1",
	.type = "core",
	.table = pme_arm_cortex_a53
},
{
	.cpuid = "0x00000000480fd010",
	.version = "v1",
	.type = "core",
	.table = pme_hisilicon_hip08_cpu
},
	{
		.table = 0
	},
};

struct pmu_event pme_hisilicon_hip08_cpu[] = {
{
	.name = "uncore_hisi_l3c.rd_cpipe",
	.event = "event=0",
	.desc = "Total read accesses. Unit: hisi_sccl,l3c ",
	.topic = "uncore l3c",
	.long_desc = "Total read accesses",
	.pmu = "hisi_sccl,l3c",
},
{
	.name = "uncore_hisi_l3c.wr_cpipe",
	.event = "event=0x1",
	.desc = "Total write accesses. Unit: hisi_sccl,l3c ",
	.topic = "uncore l3c",
	.long_desc = "Total write accesses",
	.pmu = "hisi_sccl,l3c",
},
...
};


struct pmu_sys_events pmu_sys_event_tables[] = {
{
	.table = pme_hisilicon_hip08_sys,
},
...
};

would strrchr be faster? also I thought there's something like
basename function that could be usable in here?

shouldn't we jump to empty_map in here? there still needs to be a
mapfile, right?

this will add extra tabs:

        {
                .table = 0
        },

while the rest of the file starts items without any indent

maybe, I'll check the logic here to see if it can be reduced

  also I thought there's something like
> basename function that could be usable in here?

it's tricky, as we support putting JSONs in ./, or ./sys, or ./cpu

But I'll revisit this, as I cannot understand the logic at a glance, 
which is not good...

John

In theory we could only support sys events :)

But I'll now make this a (empty map) failure case. And I think that 
another error case handling needs fixing in my patch.


As for this:

I'll ensure the indent is the same.

BTW, is there anything to be said for removing the empty map feature 
(and always breaking the perf build instead)? I guess that it was just 
an early feature for dealing with unstable JSONs.

I'd very much like it if JSON parse errors and the like didn't result
in an empty map but failed the build. I think ideally we could also
validate metric expressions using expr.y. If we include expr.y into
jevents then is there any need to parse the metric expression at
runtime? Could we just generate C code from jevents with a list of
events (aka ids) for programming and a dedicated print function for
each metric. The events would still be symbolic and checked at
runtime, but the expressions being C code could yield compile time
errors.

yep, that seems like good approach to me

nice idea.. not sure we are able to do that with just expr.y code,
like to generate specific C code for metric, but I'd like to see
patches for that ;-)

but we would still need expr.y int perf code for custom user metrics,
so it still needs to stay anyway
