      perf test: Remove 'core_id' check in topo test · 4c9d6c18
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu authored 
      The topology test case of 'perf test' seems to be broken on my x86
system - due to the comparison of a "core-id" with # of CPUs online.

There are 8 online CPUs:

	$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
	0-7

but core-ids are not sequential and some core-ids exceed the number
of online CPUs.

	$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/core_id
	0
	1
	9
	10
	0
	1
	9
	10

Looks like we can safely remove the check.  Output before:

	$ perf --version
	perf version 4.4.rc1.g34258a

	$ perf test -v topo
	36: Test topology in session                                 :
	--- start ---
	test child forked, pid 5906
	templ file: /tmp/perf-test-vCwWG3
	core_id number is too big.You may need to upgrade the perf tool.
	test child interrupted
	---- end ----
	Test topology in session: FAILED!

and after:

	$ perf test -v topo
	36: Test topology in session                                 :
	--- start ---
	test child forked, pid 6532
	templ file: /tmp/perf-test-y10wFJ
	CPU 0, core 0, socket 0
	CPU 1, core 1, socket 0

	CPU 6, core 9, socket 1
	CPU 7, core 10, socket 1
	test child finished with 0
	---- end ----
	Test topology in session: Ok

      perf/x86/intel/rapl: Simplify quirk handling even more · 7a869805
      Borislav Petkov authored 
      Drop the quirk() function pointer in favor of a simple boolean which
says whether the quirk should be applied or not. Update comment while at
it.

      x86/nmi: Mark 'ignore_nmis' as __read_mostly · 8e2a7f5b
      Kostenzer Felix authored 
      ignore_nmis is used in two distinct places:

 1. modified through {stop,restart}_nmi by alternative_instructions
 2. read by do_nmi to determine if default_do_nmi should be called or not

thus the access pattern conforms to __read_mostly and do_nmi() is a fastpath.

      perf/x86/intel: Fix PEBS data source interpretation on Nehalem/Westmere · e17dc653
      Andi Kleen authored 
      Jiri reported some time ago that some entries in the PEBS data source table
in perf do not agree with the SDM. We investigated and the bits
changed for Sandy Bridge, but the SDM was not updated.

perf already implements the bits correctly for Sandy Bridge
and later. This patch patches it up for Nehalem and Westmere.

      perf/x86/pebs: Add proper PEBS constraints for Broadwell · b3e62463
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This patch adds a Broadwell specific PEBS event constraint table.

Broadwell has a fix for the HT corruption bug erratum HSD29 on
Haswell. Therefore, there is no need to mark events 0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2,
0xd3 has requiring the exclusive mode across both sibling HT threads.
This holds true for regular counting and sampling (see core.c) and
PEBS (ds.c) which we fix in this patch.

In doing so, we relax evnt scheduling for these events, they can now
be programmed on any 4 counters without impacting what is measured on
the sibling thread.

      perf/x86/pebs: Add workaround for broken OVFL status on HSW+ · 8077eca0
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This patch fixes an issue with the GLOBAL_OVERFLOW_STATUS bits on
Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake processors when using PEBS.

The SDM stipulates that when the PEBS iterrupt threshold is crossed,
an interrupt is posted and the kernel is interrupted. The kernel will
find GLOBAL_OVF_SATUS bit 62 set indicating there are PEBS records to
drain. But the bits corresponding to the actual counters should NOT be
set. The kernel follows the SDM and assumes that all PEBS events are
processed in the drain_pebs() callback. The kernel then checks for
remaining overflows on any other (non-PEBS) events and processes these
in the for_each_bit_set(&status) loop.

As it turns out, under certain conditions on HSW and later processors,
on PEBS buffer interrupt, bit 62 is set but the counter bits may be
set as well. In that case, the kernel drains PEBS and generates
SAMPLES with the EXACT tag, then it processes the counter bits, and
generates normal (non-EXACT) SAMPLES.

I ran into this problem by trying to understand why on HSW sampling on
a PEBS event was sometimes returning SAMPLES without the EXACT tag.
This should not happen on user level code because HSW has the
eventing_ip which always point to the instruction that caused the
event.

The workaround in this patch simply ensures that the bits for the
counters used for PEBS events are cleared after the PEBS buffer has
been drained. With this fix 100% of the PEBS samples on my user code
report the EXACT tag.

Before:
  $ perf record -e cpu/event=0xd0,umask=0x81/upp ./multichase
  $ perf report -D | fgrep SAMPLES
  PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x2): 11775/11775: 0x406de5 period: 73469 addr: 0 exact=Y
                           \--- EXACT tag is missing

After:
  $ perf record -e cpu/event=0xd0,umask=0x81/upp ./multichase
  $ perf report -D | fgrep SAMPLES
  PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4002): 11775/11775: 0x406de5 period: 73469 addr: 0 exact=Y
                           \--- EXACT tag is set

The problem tends to appear more often when multiple PEBS events are used.
