      The hv_24×7 feature in IBM® POWER9 processor-based servers provide the
      facility to continuously collect large numbers of hardware performance
      metrics efficiently and accurately.
      
      This patch adds hv_24x7  metric file for different Socket/chip
      resources.

      perf tools: Enable Hz/hz prinitg for --metric-only option · 3351c6da
      Kajol Jain authored
      Commit 54b50916 ("perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode") added
      function 'valid_only_metric()' which drops "Hz" or "hz", if it is part
      of "ScaleUnit". This patch enable it since hv_24x7 supports couple of
      frequency events.

      perf metricgroups: Enhance JSON/metric infrastructure to handle "?" · 1e1a873d
      Kajol Jain authored
      Patch enhances current metric infrastructure to handle "?" in the metric
      expression. The "?" can be use for parameters whose value not known
      while creating metric events and which can be replace later at runtime
      to the proper value. It also add flexibility to create multiple events
      out of single metric event added in JSON file.
      
      Patch adds function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' which is a arch specific
      function, returns the count of metric events need to be created.  By
      default it return 1.
      
      This infrastructure needed for hv_24x7 socket/chip level events.
      "hv_24x7" chip level events needs specific chip-id to which the data is
      requested. Function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' implemented in header.c
      which extract number of sockets from sysfs file "sockets" under
      "/sys/devices/hv_24x7/interface/".
      
      With this patch basically we are trying to create as many metric events
      as define by runtime_param.
      
      For that one loop is added in function 'metricgroup__add_metric', which
      create multiple events at run time depend on return value of
      'arch_get_runtimeparam' and merge that event in 'group_list'.
      
      To achieve that we are actually passing this parameter value as part of
      `expr__find_other` function and changing "?" present in metric
      expression with this value.
      
      As in our JSON file, there gonna be single metric event, and out of
      which we are creating multiple events.
      
      To understand which data count belongs to which parameter value,
      we also printing param value in generic_metric function.
      
      For example,
      
        command:# ./perf stat  -M PowerBUS_Frequency -C 0 -I 1000
          1.000101867  9,356,933  hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ #  2.3 GHz  PowerBUS_Frequency_0
          1.000101867  9,366,134  hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ #  2.3 GHz  PowerBUS_Frequency_1
          2.000314878  9,365,868  hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ #  2.3 GHz  PowerBUS_Frequency_0
          2.000314878  9,366,092  hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ #  2.3 GHz  PowerBUS_Frequency_1
      
      So, here _0 and _1 after PowerBUS_Frequency specify parameter value.

      perf script: Remove extraneous newline in perf_sample__fprintf_regs() · fad1f1e7
      Stephane Eranian authored
      When printing iregs, there was a double newline printed because
      perf_sample__fprintf_regs() was printing its own and then at the end of
      all fields, perf script was adding one.  This was causing blank line in
      the output:
      
      Before:
      
        $ perf script -Fip,iregs
                   401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a8340    DI:0x4a9340

                   401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a8340    DI:0x4a9340
      
                   401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a9340    DI:0x4a8340
      
      After:
      
        $ perf script -Fip,iregs
                   401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a8340    DI:0x4a9340
                   401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a9340    DI:0x4a8340
                   401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a8340    DI:0x4a9340
      
      Committer testing:
      
      First we need to figure out how to request that registers be recorded,
      so we use:
      
        # perf record -h reg
      
         Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
            or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
      
            -I, --intr-regs[=<any register>]
                                  sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '-I?' to list register names
                --buildid-all     Record build-id of all DSOs regardless of hits
                --user-regs[=<any register>]
                                  sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '--user-regs=?' to list register names
      
        #
      
      Ok, now lets ask for them all:
      
        # perf record -a --intr-regs --user-regs sleep 1
        [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.105 MB perf.data (2760 samples) ]
        #
      
      Lets look at the first 6 output lines:
      
        # perf script -Fip,iregs | head -6

      To see it more clearly, lets get just two of those registers by sample:

      Extra info, lets see what gets setup in that 'struct perf_event_attr':

      perf synthetic events: Remove use of sscanf from /proc reading · 2069425e
      Ian Rogers authored
      The synthesize benchmark, run on a single process and thread, shows
      perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events as the hottest function with fgets
      and sscanf taking the majority of execution time.
      
      fscanf performs similarly well. Replace the scanf call with manual
      reading of each field of the /proc/pid/maps line, and remove some
      unnecessary buffering.
      
      This change also addresses potential, but unlikely, buffer overruns for
      the string values read by scanf.
      
      Performance before is:
      
        $ sudo perf bench internals synthesize -m 16 -M 16 -s -t

      tools api: Add a lightweight buffered reading api · e95770af
      Ian Rogers authored
      The synthesize benchmark shows the majority of execution time going to
      fgets and sscanf, necessary to parse /proc/pid/maps. Add a new buffered
      reading library that will be used to replace these calls in a follow-up
      CL. Add tests for the library to perf test.
      
      Committer tests:

      By default this isn't run as it reads /proc and may not have access.
      For consistency, modify the single threaded benchmark to compute an
      average time per event.

      perf record: Add num-synthesize-threads option · d99c22ea
      Stephane Eranian authored
      To control degree of parallelism of the synthesize_mmap() code which
      is scanning /proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be time consuming.
      Mimic perf top way of handling the option.
      If not specified will default to 1 thread, i.e. default behavior before
      this option.
      
      On a desktop computer the processing of /proc/PID/task/PID/maps isn't
      slow enough to warrant parallel processing and the thread creation has
      some cost - hence the default of 1. On a loaded server with
      >100 cores it is possible to see synthesis times in the order of
      seconds and in this case having the option is desirable.
      
      As the processing is a synchronization point, it is legitimate to worry if
      Amdahl's law will apply to this patch. Profiling with this patch in
      place:
      https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200415054050.31645-4-irogers@google.com/
      shows:
      ...
            - 32.59% __perf_event__synthesize_threads
               - 32.54% __event__synthesize_thread
                  + 22.13% perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events
                  + 6.68% perf_event__get_comm_ids.constprop.0
                  + 1.49% process_synthesized_event
                  + 1.29% __GI___readdir64
                  + 0.60% __opendir
      ...
      That is the processing is 1.49% of execution time and there is plenty to
      make parallel. This is shown in the benchmark in this patch:

         Number of synthesis threads: 5
           Average synthesis took: 64896.600 usec (+- 353.348 usec)
           Average num. events: 21558.000 (+- 0.000)
           Average time per event 3.010 usec
         Number of synthesis threads: 6
           Average synthesis took: 59210.200 usec (+- 342.890 usec)
           Average num. events: 21560.000 (+- 0.000)

         Number of synthesis threads: 7
           Average synthesis took: 54093.900 usec (+- 306.247 usec)
           Average num. events: 21562.000 (+- 0.000)
           Average time per event 2.509 usec
         Number of synthesis threads: 8
           Average synthesis took: 48938.700 usec (+- 341.732 usec)
           Average num. events: 21564.000 (+- 0.000)
           Average time per event 2.269 usec
      
      Where average time per synthesized event goes from 5.927 usec with 1
      thread to 2.269 usec with 8. This isn't a linear speed up as not all of
      synthesize code has been made parallel. If the synthesis time was about
      10 seconds then using 8 threads may bring this down to less than 4.

      perf test session topology: Fix data path · dbd660e6
      Tommi Rantala authored
      Commit 2d4f2799 ("perf data: Add global path holder") missed path

      perf stat: Improve runtime stat for interval mode · 197ba86f
      Jin Yao authored
      For interval mode, the metric is printed after the '#' character if it
      exists. But it's not calculated by the counts generated in this
      interval.
      
      See the following examples:
      
        root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2
        #           time             counts unit events
             1.000422803            764,809      inst_retired.any          #      2.9 CPI
             1.000422803          2,234,932      cycles
             2.001464585          1,960,061      inst_retired.any          #      1.6 CPI
             2.001464585          4,022,591      cycles
      
      The second CPI should not be 1.6 (4,022,591/1,960,061 is 2.1)
      
        root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
        #           time             counts unit events
             1.000429493          2,869,311      cycles
             1.000429493            816,875      instructions              #    0.28  insn per cycle
             2.001516426          9,260,973      cycles
             2.001516426          5,250,634      instructions              #    0.87  insn per cycle
      
      The second 'insn per cycle' should not be 0.87 (5,250,634/9,260,973 is
      0.57).
      
      The current code uses a global variable 'rt_stat' for tracking and
      updating the std dev of runtime stat. Unlike the counts, 'rt_stat' is not
      reset for interval. While the counts are reset for interval.
      
        perf_stat_process_counter()
        {
                if (config->interval)
                        init_stats(ps->res_stats);
        }
      
      So for interval mode, the 'rt_stat' variable should be reset too.
      
      This patch resets 'rt_stat' before read_counters(), so the runtime stat
      is only calculated by the counts generated in this interval.
      
      With this patch:
      
        root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2
        #           time             counts unit events
             1.000420924          2,408,818      inst_retired.any          #      2.1 CPI
             1.000420924          5,010,111      cycles
             2.001448579          2,798,407      inst_retired.any          #      1.6 CPI
             2.001448579          4,599,861      cycles
      
        root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
        #           time             counts unit events
             1.000428555          2,769,714      cycles
             1.000428555            774,462      instructions              #    0.28  insn per cycle
             2.001471562          3,595,904      cycles
             2.001471562          1,243,703      instructions              #    0.35  insn per cycle
      
      Now the second 'insn per cycle' and CPI are calculated by the counts
      generated in this interval.
