Subject: [PATCH 10/10][v6] powerpc/perf: Export Power7 memory hierarchy info to user space.
On Power7, the DCACHE_SRC field in MMCRA register identifies the memory
hierarchy level (eg: L2, L3 etc) from which a data-cache miss for a
marked instruction was satisfied.
Use the 'perf_mem_data_src' object to export this hierarchy level to user
space. Some memory hierarchy levels in Power7 don't map into the arch-neutral
levels. However, since newer generation of the processor (i.e. Power8) uses
fewer levels than in Power7, we don't really need to define new hierarchy
levels just for Power7.
We instead, map as many levels as possible and approximate the rest. See
comments near dcache-src_map[] in the patch.
Usage:
perf record -d -e 'cpu/PM_MRK_GRP_CMPL/' <application>
perf report -n --mem-mode --sort=mem,sym,dso,symbol_daddr,dso_daddr"
For samples involving load/store instructions, the memory
hierarchy level is shown as "L1 hit", "Remote RAM hit" etc.
# or
perf record --data <application>
perf report -D
Sample records contain a 'data_src' field which encodes the
memory hierarchy level: Eg: data_src 0x442 indicates
MEM_OP_LOAD, MEM_LVL_HIT, MEM_LVL_L2 (i.e load hit L2).
Note that the PMU event PM_MRK_GRP_CMPL tracks all marked group completions
events. While some of these are loads and stores, others like 'add'
instructions may also be sampled.
As such, the precise semantics of 'perf mem -t load' or 'perf mem -t store'
(which require sampling only loads or only stores cannot be implemented on
Power. (Sampling on PM_MRK_GRP_CMPL and throwing away non-loads and non-store
samples could yield an inconsistent profile of the application).
Thanks to input from Stephane Eranian, Michael Ellerman and Michael Neuling.

Changelog[v4]:
Drop support for 'perf mem' for Power (use perf-record and perf-report
directly)
Changelog[v3]:
[Michael Ellerman] If newer levels that we defined in [v2] are not
needed for Power8, ignore the new levels for Power7 also, and
approximate them.
Separate the TLB level mapping to a separate patchset.
Changelog[v2]:
[Stephane Eranian] Define new levels rather than ORing the L2 and L3
with REM_CCE1 and REM_CCE2.
[Stephane Eranian] allocate a bit PERF_MEM_XLVL_NA for architectures
that don't use the ->mem_xlvl field.
Insert the TLB patch ahead so the new TLB bits are contigous with
existing TLB bits.
