Some platforms have 'cluster' topology and CPUs in the cluster will
share resources like L3 Cache Tag (for HiSilicon Kunpeng SoC) or L2
cache (for Intel Jacobsville). Currently parsing and building cluster
topology have been supported since [1].
perf stat has already supported aggregation for other topologies like
die or socket, etc. It'll be useful to aggregate per-cluster to find
problems like L3T bandwidth contention.
This patch add support for "--per-cluster" option for per-cluster
aggregation. Also update the docs and related test. The output will
be like:
[root@localhost tmp]# perf stat -a -e LLC-load --per-cluster -- sleep 5
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S56-D0-CLS158 4 1,321,521,570 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS594 4 794,211,453 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1030 4 41,623 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1466 4 41,646 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1902 4 16,863 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS2338 4 15,721 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS2774 4 22,671 LLC-load
[...]
On a legacy system without cluster or cluster support, the output will
be look like:
[root@localhost perf]# perf stat -a -e cycles --per-cluster -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S56-D0-CLS0 64 18,011,485 cycles
S7182-D0-CLS0 64 16,548,835 cycles
Note that this patch doesn't mix the cluster information in the outputs
of --per-core to avoid breaking any tools/scripts using it.
Note that perf recently supports "--per-cache" aggregation, but it's not
the same with the cluster although cluster CPUs may share some cache
resources. For example on my machine all clusters within a die share the
same L3 cache:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list
0-31
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/cluster_cpus_list
0-3

Currently perf does not record module section addresses except for
the .text section. In general that means perf cannot get module section
mappings correct (except for .text) when loading symbols from a kernel
module file. (Note using --kcore does not have this issue)
Improve that situation slightly by identifying executable sections that
use the same mapping as the .text section. That happens when an
executable section comes directly after the .text section, both in memory
and on file, something that can be determined by following the same layout
rules used by the kernel, refer kernel layout_sections(). Note whether
that happens is somewhat arbitrary, so this is not a final solution.
Example from tracing a virtual machine process:

With the srcline option, the perf script only prints a source line at
the beginning of a sample with call/ret from functions, but not for
each jump in brstackinsn. It's useful to print a source line for each
jump in brstackinsn when the end user analyze the full assembler
sequences of branch sequences for the sample.
The srccode option can also be used to locate the source code line.
However, it's printed almost for every line and makes the output less
readable.

Prior to this patch '0' would be dropped as the config values default
to 0. Some json values are hex and the string '0' wouldn't match '0x0'
as zero. Add a more robust is_zero test to drop these event terms.
When encoding numbers as hex, if the number is between 0 and 9
inclusive then don't add a 0x prefix.
Update test expectations for these changes.

A PMU event/alias will have a set of format terms that replace it when
an event is parsed. The location of the terms is their position when
parsed for the event/alias either from sysfs or json. This location is
of little use when an event fails to parse as the error will be given
in terms of the location in the string of events parsed not the json
or sysfs string. Fix this by making the cloned terms location that of
the event/alias.
If a cloned term from an event/alias is invalid the bad format is hard
to determine from the error string. Add the name of the bad format
into the error string.

The msr PMU is a software one, meaning msr events may be grouped
with events in a hardware context. As the msr PMU isn't marked as a
software PMU by perf_pmu__is_software, groups with the msr PMU in
are broken and the msr events placed in a different group. This
may lead to multiplexing errors where a hardware event isn't
counted while the msr event, such as tsc, is. Fix all of this by
marking the msr PMU as software, which agrees with the driver.

it is used for things other than unwinding, so I don't think this needs
to be fixed.
HAVE_DWARF_UNWIND_SUPPORT already takes the combination of all those
things into account, and is used to gate the built in tests like "Test
dwarf unwind", so add it to the feature list output so that it can be
used by the script tests too.

The 'Session topology' test currently fails with this message when
evlist__new_default() opens more than one event:

This is because when re-opening the file and parsing the header, Perf
expects that any file that has more than one event has the sample ID
flag set. Perf record already sets the flag in a similar way when there
is more than one event, so add the same logic to evlist__new_default().
evlist__new_default() is only currently used in tests, so I don't
expect this change to have any other side effects. The other tests that
use it don't save and re-open the file so don't hit this issue.
The session topology test has been failing on Arm big.LITTLE platforms
since commit 251aa040244a ("perf parse-events: Wildcard most
"numeric" events") when evlist__new_default() started opening multiple
events for 'cycles'.

The mem_events can be retrieved from the struct perf_pmu now. An ARCH
specific perf_mem_events__ptr() is not required anymore. Remove all of
them.
The Intel hybrid has multiple mem-events-supported PMUs. But they share
the same mem_events. Other ARCHs only support one mem-events-supported
PMU. In the configuration, it's good enough to only configure the
mem_events for one PMU. Add perf_mem_events_find_pmu() which returns the
first mem-events-supported PMU.
In the perf_mem_events__init(), the perf_pmus__scan() is not required
anymore. It avoids checking the sysfs for every PMU on the system.
Make the perf_mem_events__record_args() more generic. Remove the
perf_mem_events__print_unsupport_hybrid().
Since pmu is added as a new parameter, rename perf_mem_events__ptr() to
perf_pmu__mem_events_ptr(). Several other functions also do a similar
rename.

Perf uses a hard coded string "RSDTtXZPI" to index the sched_switch
prev_state field raw bitmask value. This works well except for when
the kernel changes this string, in which case this will break again.
Instead we add a new way to parse task state string from tracepoint
print format already recorded by perf, which eliminates the further
dependencies with this hardcode and unmaintainable macro, and this
is exactly what libtraceevent[1] does for now.
So we borrow the print flags parsing logic from libtraceevent[1].
And in get_states(), we walk the print arguments until the
__print_flags() for the target state field is found, and use that to
build the states string for future parsing.

The DWARF location expression can be fairly complex and it'd be hard
to match it with the condition correctly. So let's be conservative
and only allow simple expressions. For now it just checks the first
operation in the list. The following operations looks ok:
* DW_OP_stack_value
* DW_OP_deref_size
* DW_OP_deref
* DW_OP_piece
To refuse complex (and unsupported) location expressions, add
check_allowed_ops() to compare the rest of the list. It seems earlier
result contained those unsupported expressions. For example, I found
some local struct variable is placed like below.
<2><43d1517>: Abbrev Number: 62 (DW_TAG_variable)
<43d1518> DW_AT_location : 15 byte block: 91 50 93 8 91 78 93 4 93 84 8 91 68 93 4
(DW_OP_fbreg: -48; DW_OP_piece: 8;
DW_OP_fbreg: -8; DW_OP_piece: 4;
DW_OP_piece: 1028;
DW_OP_fbreg: -24; DW_OP_piece: 4)
Another example is something like this.
0057c8be ffffffffffffffff ffffffff812109f0 (base address)
0057c8ce ffffffff812112b5 ffffffff812112c8 (DW_OP_breg3 (rbx): 0;
DW_OP_constu: 18446744073709551612;
DW_OP_and;
DW_OP_stack_value)
It should refuse them. After the change, the stat shows:

Local variables are allocated in the stack and the location list
should look like base register(s) and an offset. Extend the
die_find_variable_by_reg() to handle the following expressions
* DW_OP_breg{0..31}
* DW_OP_bregx
* DW_OP_fbreg
Ususally DWARF subprogram entries have frame base information and
use it to locate stack variable like below:
<2><43d1575>: Abbrev Number: 62 (DW_TAG_variable)
<43d1576> DW_AT_location : 2 byte block: 91 7c (DW_OP_fbreg: -4) <--- here

<43d157e> DW_AT_decl_line : 78
<43d157f> DW_AT_type : <0x43d19d7>
I found some differences on saving the frame base between gcc and clang.
The gcc uses the CFA to get the base so it needs to check the current
frame's CFI info. In this case, stack offset needs to be adjusted from
the start of the CFA.
<1><1bb8d>: Abbrev Number: 102 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<1bb8e> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x74d41): kernel_init
<1bb92> DW_AT_decl_file : 2
<1bb92> DW_AT_decl_line : 1440
<1bb94> DW_AT_decl_column : 18
<1bb95> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
<1bb95> DW_AT_type : <0xcc>
<1bb99> DW_AT_low_pc : 0xffffffff81bab9e0
<1bba1> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x1b2
<1bba9> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 9c (DW_OP_call_frame_cfa) <------ here
<1bbab> DW_AT_call_all_calls: 1
<1bbab> DW_AT_sibling : <0x1bf5a>
While clang sets it to a register directly and it can check the register
and offset in the instruction directly.
<1><43d1542>: Abbrev Number: 60 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<43d1543> DW_AT_low_pc : 0xffffffff816a7c60
<43d154b> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x98
<43d154f> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 56 (DW_OP_reg6 (rbp)) <---------- here
<43d1551> DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1
<43d1551> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x3bce91): foo

<43d1557> DW_AT_type : <0x43c7332>
<43d155b> DW_AT_external : 1
Also it needs to update the offset after finding the type like global
variables since the offset was from the frame base. Factor out
match_var_offset() to check global and local variables in the same way.
The type stats are improved too:

Global variables are accessed using PC-relative address so it needs to
be handled separately. The PC-rel addressing is detected by using
DWARF_REG_PC. On x86, %rip register would be used.
The address can be calculated using the ip and offset in the
instruction. But it should start from the next instruction so add
calculate_pcrel_addr() to do it properly.
But global variables defined in a different file would only have a
declaration which doesn't include a location list. So it first tries
to get the type info using the address, and then looks up the variable
declarations using name. The name of global variables should be get
from the symbol table. The declaration would have the type info.
So extend find_var_type() to take both address and name for global
variables.
The stat is now looks like:

Extend find_data_type_die() to find data type from PC-relative address
using die_find_variable_by_addr(). Users need to pass the address for
the (global) variable.
The offset for the variable should be updated after finding the type
because the offset in the instruction is just to calcuate the address
for the variable. So it changed to pass a pointer to offset and renamed
it to 'poffset'.
First it searches variables in the CU DIE as it's likely that the global
variables are defined in the file level. And then it iterates the scope
DIEs to find a local (static) variable.

A typical function prologue and epilogue include multiple stack

push r13
push r12
...
pop r12
pop r13
pop r14
pop r15
ret
As these all touches the stack memory region, chances are high that they
appear in a memory profile data. But these are not used for any real
purpose yet so it'd return no types.
One of my profile type shows that non neglible portion of data came from
the stack operations. It also seems GCC generates more stack operations
than clang.
