Subject: [PATCH 4/5] MIPS: perf: Allocate per-core counters on demand
Previously when performance counters are per-core, rather than
per-thread, the number available were divided by 2 on detection, and the
counters used by each thread in a core were "swizzled" to ensure
separation. However, this solution is suboptimal since it relies on a
couple of assumptions:
a) Always having 2 VPEs / core (number of counters was divided by 2)
b) Always having a number of counters implemented in the core that is
divisible by 2. For instance if an SoC implementation had a single
counter and 2 VPEs per core, then this logic would fail and no
performance counters would be available.
The mechanism also does not allow for one VPE in a core using more than
it's allocation of the per-core counters to count multiple events even
though other VPEs may not be using them.
Fix this situation by instead allocating (and releasing) per-core
performance counters when they are requested. This approach removes the
above assumptions and fixes the shortcomings.
In order to do this:
Add additional logic to mipsxx_pmu_alloc_counter() to detect if a
sibling is using a per-core counter, and to allocate a per-core counter
in all sibling CPUs.
Similarly, add a mipsxx_pmu_free_counter() function to release a
per-core counter in all sibling CPUs when it is finished with.
A new spinlock, core_counters_lock, is introduced to ensure exclusivity
when allocating and releasing per-core counters.
Since counters are now allocated per-core on demand, rather than being
reserved per-thread at boot, all of the "swizzling" of counters is
removed.
The upshot is that in an SoC with 2 counters / thread, counters are
reported as:
Performance counters: mips/interAptiv PMU enabled, 2 32-bit counters
available to each CPU, irq 18
Running an instance of a test program on each of 2 threads in a
core, both threads can use their 2 counters to count 2 events:
taskset 4 perf stat -e instructions:u,branches:u ./test_prog & taskset 8
perf stat -e instructions:u,branches:u ./test_prog
Performance counter stats for './test_prog':
30002 instructions:u
10000 branches:u
0.005164264 seconds time elapsed
Performance counter stats for './test_prog':
30002 instructions:u
10000 branches:u
0.006139975 seconds time elapsed
In an SoC with 2 counters / core (which can be forced by setting
cpu_has_mipsmt_pertccounters = 0), counters are reported as:
Performance counters: mips/interAptiv PMU enabled, 2 32-bit counters
available to each core, irq 18
Running an instance of a test program on each of 2 threads in a
core, now only one thread manages to secure the performance counters to
count 2 events. The other thread does not get any counters.
taskset 4 perf stat -e instructions:u,branches:u ./test_prog & taskset 8
perf stat -e instructions:u,branches:u ./test_prog
Performance counter stats for './test_prog':
<not counted> instructions:u
<not counted> branches:u
0.005179533 seconds time elapsed
Performance counter stats for './test_prog':
30002 instructions:u
10000 branches:u
0.005179467 seconds time elapsed
