Subject: [RFC][PATCH] perf tests: Add Intel CQM and arch tests
From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@...el.com>
Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the
Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM (software)
event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not able to create
this bundle and we need to manually construct a test case.
For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf
so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture-specific
tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future.
The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the counter
for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read both the
hardware event and the software event counters. Unfortunately, for CQM
that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM event counters on all
sockets, which in NMI context triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE().
This patch is marked as RFC because I'd really like to solicit opinions
on this approach and hear feedback on whether this is the correct way to
structure these arch tests. I realise that we've already got tests for
the TSC, etc that are x86-specific but I didn't want to change the order
of the tests (say, by moving test__perf_time_to_tsc() into ARCH_TESTS)
in case that broke some kind of ABI.
