Subject: [PATCH V6] perf: Add PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...el.com>
For understanding how the workload maps to memory channels and hardware
behavior, it's very important to collect address maps with physical
addresses. For example, 3D XPoint access can only be found by filtering
the physical address.
However, perf doesn't collect physical address information in sampling.
The virtual address which stored in data->addr can be used to calculate
the physical address.
For kernel direct mapping addresses, virt_to_phys is used to convert the
virtual addresses to physical address.
For user virtual addresses, __get_user_pages_fast is used to walk the
pages tables for user physical address.
This does not work for vmalloc addresses. Right now these are not
resolved, but code to do that could be added.
For security, the physical address can only be exposed to root or
privileged user.
A new sample type PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR is introduced to expose the
physical addresses.
