Subject: [PATCH 00/49] Add Alder Lake support for perf

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>

(The V1 patchset is a complete patchset for the Alder Lake support on
the Linux perf. It includes both kernel patches (1-25) and the user
space patches (26-49). It tries to give the maintainers/reviewers an
overall picture of the ADL enabling patches. The number of the patches
are huge. Sorry for it. For future versions, the patchset will be
divided into the kernel patch series and the userspace patch series.
They can be reviewed separately.)

Alder Lake uses a hybrid architecture utilizing Golden Cove cores
and Gracemont cores. On such architectures, all CPUs support the same,
homogeneous and symmetric, instruction set. Also, CPUID enumerate
the same features for all CPUs. There may be model-specific differences,
such as those addressed in this patchset.

The first two patches enumerate the hybrid CPU feature bit and save the
CPU type in a new field x86_cpu_type in struct cpuinfo_x86 for the
following patches. They were posted previously[1] but not merged.
Compared with the initial submission, they address the below two
concerns[2][3],
- Provide a good use case, PMU.
- Clarify what Intel Hybrid Technology is and is not.

The PMU capabilities for Golden Cove core and Gracemont core are not the
same. The key differences include the number of counters, events, perf
metrics feature, and PEBS-via-PT feature. A dedicated hybrid PMU has to
be registered for each of them. However, the current perf X86 assumes
that there is only one CPU PMU. To handle the hybrid PMUs, the patchset
- Introduce a new struct x86_hybrid_pmu to save the unique capabilities
  from different PMUs. It's part of the global x86_pmu. The architecture
  capabilities, which are available for all PMUs, are still saved in
  the global x86_pmu. I once considered dynamically create dedicated
  x86_pmu and pmu for each hybrid PMU. If so, they have to be changed to
  pointers. Since they are used everywhere, the changes could be huge
  and complex. Also, most of the PMU capabilities are the same between
  hybrid PMUs. Duplicated data in the big x86_pmu structure will be
  saved many times. So the dynamic way was dropped.
- The hybrid PMU registration has been moved to the cpu_starting(),
  because only boot CPU is available when invoking the
  init_hw_perf_events().
- Hybrid PMUs have different events and formats. Add new structures and
  helpers for events attribute and format attribute which take the PMU
  type into account.
- Add a PMU aware version PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE_PMU and
  PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE_PMU to facilitate user space tools

The uncore, MSR and cstate are the same between hybrid CPUs.
Don't need to register hybrid PMUs for them.

The generic code kernel/events/core.c is not hybrid friendly either,
especially for the per-task monitoring. Peter once proposed a
patchset[4], but it hasn't been merged. This patchset doesn't intend to
improve the generic code (which can be improved later separately). It
still uses the capability PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS for each
hybrid PMUs. For per-task and system-wide monitoring, user space tools
have to create events on all available hybrid PMUs. The events which are
from different hybrid PMUs cannot be included in the same group.
