[PATCH 0/2] perf vendor events arm64: Add A720/A520 events/metrics
Posted by Yangyu Chen 10 months, 1 week ago
This patchset adds the perf JSON files for the Cortex-A720 and Cortex-A520
processors. Some events have been tested on Raxda Orion 6 with Cix P1 SoC
(8xA720 + 4xA520) running mainline Kernel with ACPI mode.

I'm curious how the name of PMUs look like.  It is cortex_a720 (or a520)?
I remember there's a logic to check the length of hex digits at the end.

Ian, are you ok with this?

Thanks,
Namhyung

Do we know the PMU names? If they are cortex_a520 and cortex_a720 then
this comment at least reads a little stale:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/tools/perf/util/pmus.c?h=perf-tools-next#n76
```
/*

I think you may be able to do things that look odd, like today the
"i915" PMU can be called just "i", I think the a520/a720 naming will
allow "armv9_cortex/cycles/" as an event name, then open it on two
PMUs if they are present. We may only show one PMU in perf list as
that code I think assumes they're the same PMU as they only differ by
suffix:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/tools/perf/util/pmus.c?h=perf-tools-next#n384
I can imagine aggregation possibly being broken, but I think that
works off the number of PMUs not the names of the PMUs, so it should
be okay. Probably the only thing broken that matter is perf list when
you have a BIG.little system with a520 and a720, this may be broken
with say a a53 and a72 today as both of those suffix lengths are >2,
but maybe they use the "armv8._pmuv3_0", "armv8._pmuv3_1", etc. naming
convention. I suspect the >2 here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/tools/perf/util/pmus.c?h=perf-tools-next#n80
would still work and be correct if it were >4. If that changes then
this will also need to change:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-event_source-devices?h=perf-tools-next#n12

On my system, the names of PMUs are `armv8_pmuv3_0` and
`armv8_pmuv3_1`:

```
$ ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/
armv8_pmuv3_0  armv8_pmuv3_1  breakpoint  kprobe  software  tracepoint  uprobe
```

I searched for ACPI DSDT on my platform, but there's no mention of
a720 or a520. I haven't delved into the PMU kernel driver yet.

Additionally, there's a more significant problem for aarch64
BIG.little platforms when two or more types of cores don't have the
same PMUs. The perf list can only display the core PMUs on core0
unless we use the PERF_CPUID env to override it. This is because
perf will only probe the first MIDR here:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/87a132e73910e8689902aed7f2fc229d6908383b/tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/header.c#L60

However, I think this doesn't block this patch for adding events and metrics?

I assumed that was the intended behavior. It seems fairly useful to be 
able to open on ones with common prefixes.

Yeah that is the case. I didn't realise it when looking at the previous 
fixes to keep the suffixes in perf stat output.

Also the case for a53 and a72 right now. Even "perf list --unit 
armv8_cortex_a57" doesn't work because we deduplicate before filtering. 
Adding -v fixes it though because that disables deduplication. Perhaps 
we can change it to disable it with the --unit argument?

That could be an easy fix. If >4 is enough to still get rid of all the 
uncore duplicates I can make the change?

The change would be great. I think it is sufficient and doesn't break
the suffix:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/drivers/perf/arm_dmc620_pmu.c?h=perf-tools-next#n710
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/drivers/perf/arm_smmuv3_pmu.c?h=perf-tools-next#n921
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/drivers/perf/marvell_cn10k_ddr_pmu.c?h=perf-tools-next#n1062
it is hard to tell as it is going to depend on the memory addresses
placed in the PMU names. Perhaps you can clear this up and add zero
padding in the drivers if the suffix is <=4 ?

No documentation here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/perf/mrvl-odyssey-ddr-pmu.rst

On a test machine I see in /sys/devices :
..
arm_dmc620_10008c400
..
on a different one I see:
..
smmuv3_pmcg_20528a2
..

so >4 but this is an ARM specific issue as far as I can tell, so you'd
be better placed to judge correctness than me.
