perf/x86/intel: Add topdown events to Intel Core
Add declarations for the events needed for topdown to the
Intel big core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge. We need
to report different values if HyperThreading is on or off.
The only thing this patch does is to export some events
in sysfs.
topdown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which
are generic to out of order CPU cores (although some
CPUs may not implement all of them):
topdown-total-slots Available slots in the pipeline
topdown-slots-issued Slots issued into the pipeline
topdown-slots-retired Slots successfully retired
topdown-fetch-bubbles Pipeline gaps in the frontend
topdown-recovery-bubbles Pipeline gaps during recovery
from misspeculation
A slot is a single operation in the CPU pipe line.
These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics:
FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation.
The formulas to compute the metrics are generic, they
only change based on the availability on the abstracted
input values.
The kernel declares the events supported by the current
CPU and their scaling factors (such as the pipeline width)
and perf stat then computes the formulas based on the
available metrics. This is similar how existing
perf metrics, such as TSC metrics or IPC, are implemented.
This abstracts all CPU pipe line specific knowledge in the
kernel driver, but still avoids the need for larger scale perf
interface changes.
For HyperThreading the any bit is needed to get accurate
values when both threads are executing. This implies that
the events can only be collected as root or with
perf_event_paranoid=-1 for now.
The basic scheme is based on the following paper:
Yasin, A Top Down Method for Performance analysis and Counter architecture ISPASS14 (pdf available via google)
