[Updated version for the latest master tree and fixes. See end for details. All feedback addressed. Ready for merging.]

This adds perf PMU support for the upcoming Haswell core. The patchkit is fairly large, mainly due to various enhancement for TSX. TSX tuning relies heavily on the PMU, so I tried hard to make all facilities easily available. In addition it also has some other enhancements.

This includes changes to the core perf code, to the x86 specific part, to the perf user land tools and to KVM

Available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/ak/linux-misc.git hsw/pmu3

High level overview:

- Basic Haswell PMU support
- Easy high level TSX measurement in perf stat -T
- Transaction events and attributes implemented with sysfs enumeration
- Export arch perfmon events in sysfs
- Generic weightend profiling for memory latency and transaction abort costs.
- Support for address profiling
- Support for filtering events inside/outside transactions
- KVM support to do this from guests
- Support for filtering/displaying transaction abort types based on PEBS information
- LBR support for transactions

For more details on the Haswell PMU please see the SDM. For more details on TSX please see http://halobates.de/adding-lock-elision-to-linux.pdf

Some of the added features could be added to older CPUs too. I plan to do this, but in separate patches.

v2: Removed generic transaction events and qualifiers and use sysfs enumeration. Also export arch perfmon, so that the qualifiers work. Fixed various issues this exposed. Don't use a special macro for the TSX constraints anymore. Address other review feedback. Added pdir event in sysfs.

v3: Fix various bugs and address review comments. tx-aborts instead of cpu/tx-aborts/ works now (with some limitations) cpu/instructions,intx=1/ works now

v4:
Addressed all review feedback (I hope). See changelog in individual patches. KVM support now works again with more changes.
Forbid some more flag combinations that don't work well.

v5:
Rebased on latest perf/core. New method for sysfs events. Obsolete patches dropped. Added one patch from Stephane. Fixed generic aliases inside cpu//
Improved transaction flags decoding
Addressed all review feedback (except for two minor items in perf tools from Namhyung)

v6:
Fix WERROR=1 build with latest fixes.
Address KVM feedback.
Improve transaction flags display.

v7:
Rebase to 3.8-rc3.
Some minor fixes based on feedback.
Fix for spurious NMI added.
Removed debug patch for spurious NMIs.

PATCH 1/29 perf, x86: Add PEBSv2 record support

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add support for the v2 PEBS format. It has a superset of the v1 PEBS fields, but has a longer record so we need to adjust the code paths.

The main advantage is the new "EventingRip" support which directly gives the instruction, not off-by-one instruction. So with precise == 2 we use that directly and don't try to use LBRs and walking basic blocks. This lowers the overhead significantly.

Some other features are added in later patches.

PATCH 2/29 perf, x86: Basic Haswell PMU support v2

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add basic Haswell PMU support.

Similar to SandyBridge, but has a few new events. Further differences are handled in followon patches.

There are some new counter flags that need to be prevented from being set on fixed counters.

Contains fixes from Stephane Eranian

v2: Folded TSX bits into standard FIXED_EVENT_CONSTRAINTS

PATCH 4/29 perf, x86: Support the TSX intx/intx_cp qualifiers v2

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Implement the TSX transaction and checkpointed transaction qualifiers for Haswell. This allows e.g. to profile the number of cycles in transactions.

The checkpointed qualifier requires forcing the event to counter 2, implement this with a custom constraint for Haswell.

Also add sysfs format attributes for intx/intx_cp

[Updated from earlier version that used generic attributes, now does raw + sysfs formats]
v2: Moved bad hunk. Forbid some bad combinations.

PATCH 5/29 perf, kvm: Support the intx/intx_cp modifiers in KVM arch perfmon emulation v4

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

This is not arch perfmon, but older CPUs will just ignore it. This makes it possible to do at least some TSX measurements from a KVM guest

Cc: [email protected]
Cc: [email protected]
v2: Various fixes to address review feedback
v3: Ignore the bits when no CPUID. No #GP. Force raw events with TSX bits.
v4: Use reserved bits for #GP

Re: [PATCH 05/29] perf, kvm: Support the intx/intx_cp modifiers in KVM arch perfmon emulation v4

Quoted 54 lines · Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

This is not arch perfmon, but older CPUs will just ignore it. This makes it possible to do at least some TSX measurements from a KVM guest

Cc: [email protected]
Cc: [email protected]
v2: Various fixes to address review feedback
v3: Ignore the bits when no CPUID. No #GP. Force raw events with TSX bits.
v4: Use reserved bits for #GP

PATCH 6/29 perf, x86: Support PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR on Haswell

Haswell supplies the address for every PEBS memory event, so always fill it in when the user requested it. It will be 0 when not useful (no memory access)

PATCH 7/29 perf, x86: Support Haswell v4 LBR format

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Haswell has two additional LBR from flags for TSX: intx and abort, implemented as a new v4 version of the LBR format.

Handle those in and adjust the sign extension code to still correctly extend. The flags are exported similarly in the LBR record to the existing misprediction flag

PATCH 12/29 perf, x86: Support full width counting

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Recent Intel CPUs have a new alternative MSR range for perfctrs that allows writing the full counter width. Enable this range if the hardware reports it using a new capability bit. This lowers overhead of perf stat slightly because it has to do less interrupts to accumulate the counter value. On Haswell it also avoids some problems with TSX aborting when the end of the counter range is reached.

PATCH 13/29 perf, x86: Avoid checkpointed counters causing excessive TSX aborts v3

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

With checkpointed counters there can be a situation where the counter is overflowing, aborts the transaction, is set back to a non overflowing checkpoint, causes interupt. The interrupt doesn't see the overflow because it has been checkpointed. This is then a spurious PMI, typically with a ugly NMI message. It can also lead to excessive aborts.

Avoid this problem by:
- Using the full counter width for counting counters (previous patch)
- Forbid sampling for checkpointed counters. It's not too useful anyways, checkpointing is mainly for counting.
- On a PMI always set back checkpointed counters to zero.

v2: Add unlikely. Add comment
v3: Allow large sampling periods with CP for KVM

PATCH 14/29 perf, core: Add a concept of a weightened sample v2

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

For some events it's useful to weight sample with a hardware provided number. This expresses how expensive the action the sample represent was. This allows the profiler to scale the samples to be more informative to the programmer.

There is already the period which is used similarly, but it means something different, so I chose to not overload it. Instead a new sample type for WEIGHT is added.

Can be used for multiple things. Initially it is used for TSX abort costs and profiling by memory latencies (so to make expensive load appear higher up in the histograms) The concept is quite generic and can be extended to many other kinds of events or architectures, as long as the hardware provides suitable auxillary values. In principle it could be also used for software tracpoints.

This adds the generic glue. A new optional sample format for a 64bit weight value.

v2: Move weight format to the end. Remove *_FORMAT_WEIGHT

PATCH 15/29 perf, x86: Support weight samples for PEBS

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

When a weighted sample is requested, first try to report the TSX abort cost on Haswell. If that is not available report the memory latency. This allows profiling both by abort cost and by memory latencies.

Memory latencies requires enabling a different PEBS mode (LL). When both address and weight is requested address wins.

The LL mode only works for memory related PEBS events, so add a separate event constraint table for those.

I only did this for Haswell for now, but it could be added for several other Intel CPUs too by just adding the right table for them.

PATCH 16/29 perf, tools: Add support for weight v7

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling.

Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event and the total cost over the measurement period.

Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library.

v2: Merge with new hist refactoring.
v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check.
Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight.
v4: Readd sort keys to manpage
v5: Move weight to end
v6: Move weight to template
v7: Rename weight key.

Re: [PATCH 16/29] perf, tools: Add support for weight v7

Quoted 289 lines · Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling.

Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event and the total cost over the measurement period.

Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library.

v2: Merge with new hist refactoring.
v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check.
Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight.
v4: Readd sort keys to manpage
v5: Move weight to end
v6: Move weight to template
v7: Rename weight key.

With this approach, you will not aggregate samples with similar weights for more than 2 samples.
Example:
Sample 1 W=250 -> no match, add Sample 1
Sample 2 W=250 -> match Sample1, Sample1 new weight=500 Sample 3 W=250 -> no match, add Sample 3

Here you do not aggregate Sample 3 with Sample 1 and 2 , because you've updated the weight which you also use in the sort__weight_cmp() routine.

That does not work for me with PEBS-LL. I want aggregation when samples are identical.

I don't know why you want to aggregate weights.

Re: [PATCH 16/29] perf, tools: Add support for weight v7

Quoted 303 lines · Stephane Eranian
Quoted 289 lines · Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling.

Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event and the total cost over the measurement period.

Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library.

v2: Merge with new hist refactoring.
v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check.
Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight.
v4: Readd sort keys to manpage
v5: Move weight to end
v6: Move weight to template
v7: Rename weight key.

Ok, figured this out. I needed to use local_weight and not weight for the PEBS-LL case.
Works fine now. So I can use your patch unaltered.

Ok, figured this out. I needed to use local_weight and not weight for the PEBS-LL case.

There are use cases for both. For TSX (global_)weight is more useful, so i made it the default.

Works fine now. So I can use your patch unaltered.

I still cannot sort by the weights, that needs to be solved at some point. But I think it can be done independently from merging this code. It's already useful even without sorting.

With this approach, you will not aggregate samples with similar weights for more than 2 samples.
Example:
Sample 1 W=250 -> no match, add Sample 1
Sample 2 W=250 -> match Sample1, Sample1 new weight=500 Sample 3 W=250 -> no match, add Sample 3

Here you do not aggregate Sample 3 with Sample 1 and 2 , because you've updated the weight which you also use in the sort__weight_cmp() routine.

Quoted 8 lines
Quoted 4 lines

That does not work for me with PEBS-LL. I want aggregation when samples are identical.

I don't know why you want to aggregate weights.

Ok, figured this out. I needed to use local_weight and not weight for the PEBS-LL case.
Works fine now. So I can use your patch unaltered.

For PEBS-LL and possibly other special cases, it is important to remember that perf report always end up sorting by period (hist_collapse_resort). But for PEBS-LL we want to sort on nr_events * weight. Thus, with your patch, the only way, I found, to achieve this is by passing:

       add_hist_entry(self, &entry, al, weight, weight);

Or period=weight, then pass period.
That way you ensure that if you have:

20 samples at cost 50
100 samples at cost 1

Then you see with perf report:

Samples Local Weight

        20  50
      100    1

I did update my patch to operate that way and I get the correct answer now.

Well, it does except for the "implicit" column which uses period, see hists__collapse_resort().
And that function is hardcoded to only look at period.

As for the hack, I did not put in in my hist__add_mem_entry() but rather in the caller.
For PEBS-LL, the period is not important. I think it counts the number of loads/stores
and not just the qualifying ones. For loads, that means it counts all loads and not just
the ones above the threshold, but I may be wrong.

Right now weight is not sorted. So you can see the information, but it's not really nice. Longer term should fix sort.c to actually sort properly, then it'll work ok and be intuitive.

I don't think hacks like making weight look like period are the right way to do it. I had those originally, but discarded them.

sort.c just needs to sort properly on all keys.

But what I was saying is that even when you specify sensible sort keys, there is ALWAYS an implicit key added first which is the period. That is what that resort function does.

For PEBS-LL I do force the sort period to:
local_weight,mem,sym,dso,symbol_daddr,dso_daddr,snoop,tlb,locked

But that's not enough,

One solution could be to make period an explicit sort key. It may then be dropped by some measurements, e.g., when weight is is used.

PATCH 17/29 perf, core: Add generic transaction flags v3

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort.

The tuning strategies are very different for those cases, so it's important to distinguish them easily and early.

Since it's inconvenient and inflexible to filter for this in the kernel we report all the events out and allow some post processing in user space.

The flags are based on the Intel TSX events, but should be fairly generic and mostly applicable to other architectures too. In addition to various flag words there's also reserved space to report an program supplied abort code. For TSX this is used to distinguish specific classes of aborts, like a lock busy abort when doing lock elision.

This adds the perf core glue needed for reporting the new flag word out.

v2: Add MEM/MISC
v3: Move transaction to the end

PATCH 18/29 perf, x86: Add Haswell specific transaction flag reporting

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

In the PEBS handler report the transaction flags using the new generic transaction flags facility. Most of them come from the "tsx_tuning" field in PEBSv2, but the abort code is derived from the RAX register reported in the PEBS record.

PATCH 19/29 perf, tools: Add support for record transaction flags v3

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add the glue in the user tools to record transaction flags with --transaction (-T was already taken) and dump them.

Followon patches will use them.

v2: Fix manpage
v3: Move transaction to the end

PATCH 20/29 perf, tools: Add browser support for transaction flags v5

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add histogram support for the transaction flags. Each flags instance becomes a separate histogram. Support sorting and displaying the flags in report and top.

The patch is fairly large, but it's really mostly just plumbing to pass the flags around.

v2: Increase column. Fix flags decoding. Use longer strings for flags to be more user friendly.
v3: Fix WERROR=1 build. Tidy display
v4: Readd sort keys to manpage
v5: Reimplement transaction flags display code

PATCH 21/29 perf, x86: Move NMI clearing to end of PMI handler after the counter registers are reset

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

This avoids some problems with spurious PMIs on Haswell. Haswell seems to behave more like P4 in this regard. Do the same thing as the P4 perf handler by unmasking the NMI only at the end. Shouldn't make any difference for earlier non P4 cores.

PATCH 22/29 tools, perf: Add a precise event qualifier v2

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add a precise qualifier, like cpu/event=0x3c,precise=1/

This is needed so that the kernel can request enabling PEBS for TSX events. The parser bails out on any sysfs parse errors, so this is needed in any case to handle any event on the TSX perf kernel.

v2: Allow 3 as value

PATCH 23/29 perf, x86: improve sysfs event mapping with event string

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Stephane Eranian <[email protected]>

This patch extends Jiri's changes to make generic events mapping visible via sysfs. The patch extends the mechanism to non-generic events by allowing the mappings to be hardcoded in strings.

This mechanism will be used by the PEBS-LL patch
later on.

[AK: Make events_sysfs_show unstatic again to fix compilation]

PATCH 25/29 perf, x86: Add Haswell TSX event aliases v2

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add infrastructure to generate event aliases in /sys/devices/cpu/events/

And use this to set up user friendly aliases for the common TSX events. TSX tuning relies heavily on the PMU, so it's important to be user friendly.

This replaces the generic transaction events in an earlier version of this patchkit.

tx-start/commit/abort  to count RTM transactions
el-start/commit/abort  to count HLE ("elision") transactions
tx-conflict/overflow   to count conflict/overflow for both combined.

The general abort events exist in precise and non precise variants Since the common case is sampling plain "tx-aborts" in precise.

This is very important because abort sampling only really works with PEBS enabled, otherwise it would report the IP after the abort, not the abort point. But counting with PEBS has more overhead, so also have tx/el-abort-count aliases that do not enable PEBS for perf stat.

It would be nice to switch automatically between those two, like in the previous version, but that would need more new infrastructure for sysfs first.

There is an tx-abort<->tx-aborts alias too, because I found myself using both variants.

Also added friendly aliases for cpu/cycles,intx=1/ and cpu/cycles,intx=1,intx_cp=1/ and the same for instructions. These will be used by perf stat -T, and are also useful for users directly.

So for example to get transactional cycles can use "perf stat -e cycles-t"

v2: Move to new sysfs infrastructure

PATCH 26/29 perf, tools: Add perf stat --transaction v2

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add support to perf stat to print the basic transactional execution statistics:
Total cycles, Cycles in Transaction, Cycles in aborted transsactions using the intx and intx_checkpoint qualifiers.
Transaction Starts and Elision Starts, to compute the average transaction length.

This is a reasonable overview over the success of the transactions.

Enable with a new --transaction / -T option.

This requires measuring these events in a group, since they depend on each other.

This is implemented by using TM sysfs events exported by the kernel

v2: Only print the extended statistics when the option is enabled. This avoids negative output when the user specifies the -T events in separate groups.

PATCH 27/29 perf, x86: Add a Haswell precise instructions event v2

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add a instructions-p event alias that uses the PDIR randomized instruction retirement event. This is useful to avoid some systematic sampling shadow problems. Normally PEBS sampling has a systematic shadow. With PDIR enabled the hardware adds some randomization that statistically avoids this problem. In this sense, it's more precise over a whole sampling interval, but an individual sample can be less precise. But since we sample overall it's a more precise event.

This could be used before using the explicit event code syntax, but it's easier and more user friendly to use with an "instructions-p" alias. I expect this will eventually become a common use case.

Right now for Haswell, will add to Ivy Bridge later too.

v2: Use new sysfs infrastructure

PATCH 28/29 perf, tools: Default to cpu// for events v5

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

When an event fails to parse and it's not in a new style format, try to parse it again as a cpu event.

This allows to use sysfs exported events directly without //, so I can use

perf record -e tx-aborts ...

instead of

perf record -e cpu/tx-aborts/

v2: Handle multiple events
v3: Move to separate function
v4: Move library function to util/string.c

[Updated version for the latest master tree and fixes. See end for details. All feedback addressed. Ready for merging.]

Could we try a minimal, obvious hardware-enablement series first, with all the optional features left out in the first step? Your patches look mostly shaped in that way already, so this would be mostly a resend of just the basic bits.

( I also finally got access to real Haswell hardware so I'll be
able to try these out and verify them. The patches are way too large to be applied blindly. )

Thanks,

Ingo
