Subject: [PATCH v2 00/27] perf tool: AlderLake hybrid support series 1
AlderLake uses a hybrid architecture utilizing Golden Cove cores
(core cpu) and Gracemont cores (atom cpu). Each cpu has dedicated
event list. Some events are available on core cpu, some events
are available on atom cpu and some events can be available on both.
Kernel exports new pmus "cpu_core" and "cpu_atom" through sysfs:
/sys/devices/cpu_core
/sys/devices/cpu_atom
cat /sys/devices/cpu_core/cpus
0-15
cat /sys/devices/cpu_atom/cpus
16-23
In this example, core cpus are 0-15 and atom cpus are 16-23.
To enable a core only event or atom only event:
cpu_core/<event name>/
or
cpu_atom/<event name>/
Count the 'cycles' event on core cpus.
# perf stat -e cpu_core/cycles/ -a -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
12,853,951,349 cpu_core/cycles/
1.002581249 seconds time elapsed
If one event is available on both atom cpu and core cpu, two events
are created automatically.
# perf stat -e cycles -a -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
12,856,467,438 cpu_core/cycles/
6,404,634,785 cpu_atom/cycles/
1.002453013 seconds time elapsed
Group is supported if the events are from same pmu, otherwise a warning
is displayed.
# perf stat -e '{cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/instructions/}' -a -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
12,863,866,968 cpu_core/cycles/
554,795,017 cpu_core/instructions/
1.002616117 seconds time elapsed
# perf stat -e '{cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_atom/instructions/}' -a -- sleep 1
WARNING: Group has events from different hybrid PMUs
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
12,863,344,830 cpu_core/cycles/
<not supported> cpu_atom/instructions/
1.002568830 seconds time elapsed
Note that, since the whole patchset for AlderLake hybrid support is very
large (40+ patches), for simplicity, it's splitted into several patch
series.
The patch series 1 only supports the basic functionality. The other
supports for perf-c2c/perf-mem/topdown/metrics/topology header and etc
will be added in follow-up series.
v2:
---
- Drop kernel patches (Kan posted the series "Add Alder Lake support for perf (kernel)" separately).
- Drop the patches for perf-c2c/perf-mem/topdown/metrics/topology header supports,
which will be added in series 2 or series 3.
- Simplify the arguments of __perf_pmu__new_alias() by passing
the 'struct pme_event' pointer.
- Check sysfs validity before access.
- Use pmu style event name, such as "cpu_core/cycles/".
- Move command output two chars to the right.
- Move pmu hybrid functions to new created pmu-hybrid.c/pmu-hybrid.h.
This is to pass the perf test python case.
