As perf's default behavior when no PMU is specified is to open the event on all PMUs that advertise/"have" the event, this yielded failures when trying to make the priority of legacy and sysfs/json events uniform - something requested by RISC-V and ARM. A legacy event user on ARM hardware may find their event opened on an uncore PMU which for perf record will fail. Arnaldo suggested skipping such events which this patch implements. Rather than have the skipping conditional on running on ARM, the skipping is done on all architectures as such a fundamental behavioral difference could lead to problems with tools built/depending on perf. An example of perf record failing to open events on x86 is: ``` $ perf record -e data_read,cycles,LLC-prefetch-read -a sleep 0.1 Error: Failure to open event 'data_read' on PMU 'uncore_imc_free_running_0' which = will be removed. The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for e= vent (data_read). "dmesg | grep -i perf" may provide additional information. Error: Failure to open event 'data_read' on PMU 'uncore_imc_free_running_1' which = will be removed. The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for e= vent (data_read). "dmesg | grep -i perf" may provide additional information. Error: Failure to open event 'LLC-prefetch-read' on PMU 'cpu' which will be remove= d. The LLC-prefetch-read event is not supported. [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.188 MB perf.data (87 samples) ] $ perf report --stats Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 17255 MMAP events: 284 ( 1.6%) COMM events: 1961 (11.4%) EXIT events: 1 ( 0.0%) FORK events: 1960 (11.4%) SAMPLE events: 87 ( 0.5%) MMAP2 events: 12836 (74.4%) KSYMBOL events: 83 ( 0.5%) BPF_EVENT events: 36 ( 0.2%) FINISHED_ROUND events: 2 ( 0.0%) ID_INDEX events: 1 ( 0.0%) THREAD_MAP events: 1 ( 0.0%) CPU_MAP events: 1 ( 0.0%) TIME_CONV events: 1 ( 0.0%) FINISHED_INIT events: 1 ( 0.0%) cycles stats: SAMPLE events: 87 ``` Note, if all events fail to open then the data file will contain no samples. This is deliberate as at the point the events are opened there are other events, such as the dummy event for sideband data, and these events will succeed in opening even if the user specified ones don't. Having a mix of open and broken events leads to a problem of identifying different sources of events. The issue with legacy events is that on RISC-V they want the driver to not have mappings from legacy to non-legacy config encodings for each vendor/model due to size, complexity and difficulty to update. It was reported that on ARM Apple-M? CPUs the legacy mapping in the driver was broken and the sysfs/json events should always take precedent, however, it isn't clear this is still the case. It is the case that without working around this issue a legacy event like cycles without a PMU can encode differently than when specified with a PMU - the non-PMU version favoring legacy encodings, the PMU one avoiding legacy encodings. The patch removes events and then adjusts the idx value for each evsel. This is done so that the dense xyarrays used for file descriptors, etc. don't contain broken entries. As event opening happens relatively late in the record process, use of the idx value before the open will have become corrupted, so it is expected there are latent bugs hidden behind this change - the change is best effort. As the only vendor that has broken event names is ARM, this will principally effect ARM users. They will also experience warning messages like those above because of the uncore PMU advertising legacy event names.
