The alignment of a structure is that of its largest member. On architectures like 32-bit Arm (but not e.g. 32-bit x86) 64-bit integers will require 64-bit alignment and not its natural word size. This means that there is no portable way to add 64-bit integers to siginfo_t on 32-bit architectures without breaking the ABI, because siginfo_t does not yet (and therefore likely never will) contain 64-bit fields on 32-bit architectures. Adding a 64-bit integer could change the alignment of the union after the 3 initial int si_signo, si_errno, si_code, thus introducing 4 bytes of padding shifting the entire union, which would break the ABI. One alternative would be to use the __packed attribute, however, it is non-standard C. Given siginfo_t has definitions outside the Linux kernel in various standard libraries that can be compiled with any number of different compilers (not just those we rely on), using non-standard attributes on siginfo_t should be avoided to ensure portability. In the case of the si_perf field, word size is sufficient since there is no exact requirement on size, given the data it contains is user-defined via perf_event_attr::sig_data. On 32-bit architectures, any excess bits of perf_event_attr::sig_data will therefore be truncated when copying into si_perf. Since si_perf is intended to disambiguate events (e.g. encoding relevant information if there are more events of the same type), 32 bits should provide enough entropy to do so on 32-bit architectures. For 64-bit architectures, no change is intended. Fixes: fb6cc127 ("signal: Introduce TRAP_PERF si_code and si_perf to siginfo") Reported-by:

The 64 bit value read from MSR_ARCH_PERFMON_FIXED_CTR_CTRL is being bit-wise masked with the value (0x03 << i*4). However, the shifted value is evaluated using 32 bit arithmetic, so will UB when i > 8. Fix this by making 0x03 a ULL so that the shift is performed using 64 bit arithmetic. This makes the arithmetic internally consistent and preparers for the day when hardware provides 8<num_fixed_counters<16. Signed-off-by:

Current Hardware events and Hardware cache events have special perf types, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE. The two types don't pass the PMU type in the user interface. For a hybrid system, the perf subsystem doesn't know which PMU the events belong to. The first capable PMU will always be assigned to the events. The events never get a chance to run on the other capable PMUs. Extend the two types to become PMU aware types. The PMU type ID is stored at attr.config[63:32]. Add a new PMU capability, PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_HW_TYPE, to indicate a PMU which supports the extended PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE. The PMU type is only required when searching a specific PMU. The PMU specific codes will only be interested in the 'real' config value, which is stored in the low 32 bit of the event->attr.config. Update the event->attr.config in the generic code, so the PMU specific codes don't need to calculate it separately. If a user specifies a PMU type, but the PMU doesn't support the extended type, error out. If an event cannot be initialized in a PMU specified by a user, error out immediately. Perf should not try to open it on other PMUs. The new PMU capability is only set for the X86 hybrid PMUs for now. Other architectures, e.g., ARM, may need it as well. The support on ARM may be implemented later separately. Suggested-by:

Alder Lake Hybrid system has two different types of core, Golden Cove core and Gracemont core. The Golden Cove core is registered to "cpu_core" PMU. The Gracemont core is registered to "cpu_atom" PMU. The difference between the two PMUs include: - Number of GP and fixed counters - Events - The "cpu_core" PMU supports Topdown metrics. The "cpu_atom" PMU supports PEBS-via-PT. The "cpu_core" PMU is similar to the Sapphire Rapids PMU, but without PMEM. The "cpu_atom" PMU is similar to Tremont, but with different events, event_constraints, extra_regs and number of counters. The mem-loads AUX event workaround only applies to the Golden Cove core. Users may disable all CPUs of the same CPU type on the command line or in the BIOS. For this case, perf still register a PMU for the CPU type but the CPU mask is 0. Current caps/pmu_name is usually the microarch codename. Assign the "alderlake_hybrid" to the caps/pmu_name of both PMUs to indicate the hybrid Alder Lake microarchitecture. Signed-off-by:

The attribute_group for Hybrid PMUs should be different from the previous cpu PMU. For example, cpumask is required for a Hybrid PMU.

Hybrid PMUs have different events and formats. In theory, Hybrid PMU specific attributes should be maintained in the dedicated struct x86_hybrid_pmu, but it wastes space because the events and formats are similar among Hybrid PMUs. To reduce duplication, all hybrid PMUs will share a group of attributes in the following patch. To distinguish an attribute from different Hybrid PMUs, a PMU aware attribute structure is introduced. A PMU type is required for the attribute structure. The type is internal usage. It is not visible in the sysfs API. Hybrid PMUs may support the same event name, but with different event encoding, e.g., the mem-loads event on an Atom PMU has different event encoding from a Core PMU. It brings issue if two attributes are created for them. Current sysfs_update_group finds an attribute by searching the attr name (aka event name). If two attributes have the same event name, the first attribute will be replaced. To address the issue, only one attribute is created for the event. The event_str is extended and stores event encodings from all Hybrid PMUs. Each event encoding is divided by ";". The order of the event encodings must follow the order of the hybrid PMU index. The event_str is internal usage as well. When a user wants to show the attribute of a Hybrid PMU, only the corresponding part of the string is displayed. Signed-off-by:

Different hybrid PMUs have different PMU capabilities and events. Perf should registers a dedicated PMU for each of them. To check the X86 event, perf has to go through all possible hybrid pmus. All the hybrid PMUs are registered at boot time. Before the registration, add intel_pmu_check_hybrid_pmus() to check and update the counters information, the event constraints, the extra registers and the unique capabilities for each hybrid PMUs. Postpone the display of the PMU information and HW check to CPU_STARTING, because the boot CPU is the only online CPU in the init_hw_perf_events(). Perf doesn't know the availability of the other PMUs. Perf should display the PMU information only if the counters of the PMU are available. One type of CPUs may be all offline. For this case, users can still observe the PMU in /sys/devices, but its CPU mask is 0. All hybrid PMUs have capability PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS. The PMU name for hybrid PMUs will be "cpu_XXX", which will be assigned later in a separated patch. The PMU type id for the core PMU is still PERF_TYPE_RAW. For the other hybrid PMUs, the PMU type id is not hard code. The event->cpu must be compatitable with the supported CPUs of the PMU. Add a check in the x86_pmu_event_init(). The events in a group must be from the same type of hybrid PMU. The fake cpuc used in the validation must be from the supported CPU of the event->pmu. Perf may not retrieve a valid core type from get_this_hybrid_cpu_type(). For example, ADL may have an alternative configuration. With that configuration, Perf cannot retrieve the core type from the CPUID leaf 0x1a. Add a platform specific get_hybrid_cpu_type(). If the generic way fails, invoke the platform specific get_hybrid_cpu_type(). Suggested-by:

The temporary pmu assignment in event_init is unnecessary. The assignment was introduced by commit 8113070d ("perf_events: Add fast-path to the rescheduling code"). At that time, event->pmu is not assigned yet when initializing an event. The assignment is required. However, from commit 7e5b2a01 ("perf: provide PMU when initing events"), the event->pmu is provided before event_init is invoked. The temporary pmu assignment in event_init should be removed.

The number of GP and fixed counters are different among hybrid PMUs. Each hybrid PMU should use its own counter related information. When handling a certain hybrid PMU, apply the number of counters from the corresponding hybrid PMU. When reserving the counters in the initialization of a new event, reserve all possible counters. The number of counter recored in the global x86_pmu is for the architecture counters which are available for all hybrid PMUs. KVM doesn't support the hybrid PMU yet. Return the number of the architecture counters for now. For the functions only available for the old platforms, e.g., intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm(), nothing is changed. Signed-off-by:

Some platforms, e.g. Alder Lake, have hybrid architecture. Although most PMU capabilities are the same, there are still some unique PMU capabilities for different hybrid PMUs. Perf should register a dedicated pmu for each hybrid PMU. Add a new struct x86_hybrid_pmu, which saves the dedicated pmu and capabilities for each hybrid PMU. The architecture MSR, MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES, only indicates the architecture features which are available on all hybrid PMUs. The architecture features are stored in the global x86_pmu.intel_cap. For Alder Lake, the model-specific features are perf metrics and PEBS-via-PT. The corresponding bits of the global x86_pmu.intel_cap should be 0 for these two features. Perf should not use the global intel_cap to check the features on a hybrid system. Add a dedicated intel_cap in the x86_hybrid_pmu to store the model-specific capabilities. Use the dedicated intel_cap to replace the global intel_cap for thse two features. The dedicated intel_cap will be set in the following "Add Alder Lake Hybrid support" patch. Add is_hybrid() to distinguish a hybrid system. ADL may have an alternative configuration. With that configuration, the X86_FEATURE_HYBRID_CPU is not set. Perf cannot rely on the feature bit. Add a new static_key_false, perf_is_hybrid, to indicate a hybrid system. It will be assigned in the following "Add Alder Lake Hybrid support" patch as well. Suggested-by:

Some platforms, e.g. Alder Lake, have hybrid architecture. In the same package, there may be more than one type of CPU. The PMU capabilities are different among different types of CPU. Perf will register a dedicated PMU for each type of CPU. Add a 'pmu' variable in the struct cpu_hw_events to track the dedicated PMU of the current CPU. Current x86_get_pmu() use the global 'pmu', which will be broken on a hybrid platform. Modify it to apply the 'pmu' of the specific CPU. Initialize the per-CPU 'pmu' variable with the global 'pmu'. There is nothing changed for the non-hybrid platforms. The is_x86_event() will be updated in the later patch ("perf/x86: Register hybrid PMUs") for hybrid platforms. For the non-hybrid platforms, nothing is changed here. Suggested-by: -

On processors with Intel Hybrid Technology (i.e., one having more than one type of CPU in the same package), all CPUs support the same instruction set and enumerate the same features on CPUID. Thus, all software can run on any CPU without restrictions. However, there may be model-specific differences among types of CPUs. For instance, each type of CPU may support a different number of performance counters. Also, machine check error banks may be wired differently. Even though most software will not care about these differences, kernel subsystems dealing with these differences must know. Add and expose a new helper function get_this_hybrid_cpu_type() to query the type of the current hybrid CPU. The function will be used later in the perf subsystem. The Intel Software Developer's Manual defines the CPU type as 8-bit identifier. Signed-off-by:

Add feature enumeration to identify a processor with Intel Hybrid Technology: one in which CPUs of more than one type are the same package. On a hybrid processor, all CPUs support the same homogeneous (i.e., symmetric) instruction set. All CPUs enumerate the same features in CPUID. Thus, software (user space and kernel) can run and migrate to any CPU in the system as well as utilize any of the enumerated features without any change or special provisions. The main difference among CPUs in a hybrid processor are power and performance properties. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a new software event to count context switches involving cgroup switches. So it's counted only if cgroups of previous and next tasks are different. Note that it only checks the cgroups in the perf_event subsystem. For cgroup v2, it shouldn't matter anyway. One can argue that we can do this by using existing sched_switch event with eBPF. But some systems might not have eBPF for some reason so I'd like to add this as a simple way. Signed-off-by:

The 'running' variable is only used in the P4 PMU. Current perf sets the variable in the critical function x86_pmu_start(), which wastes cycles for everybody not running on P4. Move cpuc->running into the P4 specific p4_pmu_enable_event(). Add a static per-CPU 'p4_running' variable to replace the 'running' variable in the struct cpu_hw_events. Saves space for the generic structure. The p4_pmu_enable_all() also invokes the p4_pmu_enable_event(), but it should not set cpuc->running. Factor out __p4_pmu_enable_event() for p4_pmu_enable_all().

Marco Elver authored
Add a kselftest for testing process-wide perf events with synchronous SIGTRAP on events (using breakpoints). In particular, we want to test that changes to the event propagate to all children, and the SIGTRAPs are in fact synchronously sent to the thread where the event occurred. Note: The "signal_stress" test case is also added later in the series to perf tool's built-in tests. The test here is more elaborate in that respect, which on one hand avoids bloating the perf tool unnecessarily, but we also benefit from structured tests with TAP-compliant output that the kselftest framework provides.

Marco Elver authored
Adds bit perf_event_attr::sigtrap, which can be set to cause events to send SIGTRAP (with si_code TRAP_PERF) to the task where the event occurred. The primary motivation is to support synchronous signals on perf events in the task where an event (such as breakpoints) triggered. To distinguish perf events based on the event type, the type is set in si_errno. For events that are associated with an address, si_addr is copied from perf_sample_data. The new field perf_event_attr::sig_data is copied to si_perf, which allows user space to disambiguate which event (of the same type) triggered the signal. For example, user space could encode the relevant information it cares about in sig_data. We note that the choice of an opaque u64 provides the simplest and most flexible option. Alternatives where a reference to some user space data is passed back suffer from the problem that modification of referenced data (be it the event fd, or the perf_event_attr) can race with the signal being delivered (of course, the same caveat applies if user space decides to store a pointer in sig_data, but the ABI explicitly avoids prescribing such a design).

Make perf_event_exit_event() more robust, such that we can use it from other contexts. Specifically the up and coming remove_on_exec. For this to work we need to address a few issues. Remove_on_exec will not destroy the entire context, so we cannot rely on TASK_TOMBSTONE to disable event_function_call() and we thus have to use perf_remove_from_context(). When using perf_remove_from_context(), there's two races to consider. The first is against close(), where we can have concurrent tear-down of the event. The second is against child_list iteration, which should not find a half baked event. To address this, teach perf_remove_from_context() to special case !ctx->is_active and about DETACH_CHILD.
