Subject: [V14 0/8] arm64/perf: Enable branch stack sampling
This series enables perf branch stack sampling support on arm64 platform
via a new arch feature called Branch Record Buffer Extension (BRBE). All
the relevant register definitions could be accessed here.
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0601/2021-12/AArch64-Registers
This series applies on 6.7-rc1 after the following series from James Clark.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231019165510.1966367-1-james.clark@arm.com/
Also this series is being hosted below for quick access, review and test.
https://git.gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/linux-anshuman.git (brbe_v14)
There are still some open questions regarding handling multiple perf events
with different privilege branch filters getting on the same PMU, supporting
guest branch stack tracing from the host etc. Finally also looking for some
suggestions regarding supporting BRBE inside the guest. The series has been
re-organized completely as suggested earlier.

========== Perf Branch Stack Sampling Support (arm64 platforms) ===========
Currently arm64 platform does not support perf branch stack sampling. Hence
any event requesting for branch stack records i.e PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK
marked in event->attr.sample_type, will be rejected in armpmu_event_init().
static int armpmu_event_init(struct perf_event *event)
{
........
/* does not support taken branch sampling */
if (has_branch_stack(event))
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
........
}
$perf record -j any,u,k ls
Error:
cycles:P: PMU Hardware or event type doesn't support branch stack sampling.
-------------------- CONFIG_ARM64_BRBE and FEAT_BRBE ----------------------
After this series, perf branch stack sampling feature gets enabled on arm64
platforms where FEAT_BRBE HW feature is supported, and CONFIG_ARM64_BRBE is
also selected during build. Let's observe all all possible scenarios here.
1. Feature not built (!CONFIG_ARM64_BRBE):
Falls back to the current behaviour i.e event gets rejected.
2. Feature built but HW not supported (CONFIG_ARM64_BRBE && !FEAT_BRBE):
Falls back to the current behaviour i.e event gets rejected.
3. Feature built and HW supported (CONFIG_ARM64_BRBE && FEAT_BRBE):
Platform supports branch stack sampling requests. Let's observe through a
simple example here.
$perf record -j any_call,u,k,save_type ls
[Please refer perf-record man pages for all possible branch filter options]

-------------------------- Snip ----------------------
perf script and other tooling can also be applied on the captured perf.data
Similarly branch stack sampling records can be collected via direct system
call i.e perf_event_open() method after setting 'struct perf_event_attr' as
required.
event->attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK
event->attr.branch_sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_<FILTER_1> |
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_<FILTER_2> |
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_<FILTER_3> |
...............................
But all branch filters might not be supported on the platform.
----------------------- BRBE Branch Filters Support -----------------------
- Following branch filters are supported on arm64.
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_USER /* Branch privilege filters */
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_KERNEL
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HV
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY /* Branch type filters */
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY_CALL
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY_RETURN
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_IND_CALL
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_IND_JUMP
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_NO_FLAGS /* Branch record flags */
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_NO_CYCLES
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_TYPE_SAVE
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_PRIV_SAVE
- Following branch filters are not supported on arm64.
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ABORT_TX
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_IN_TX
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_NO_TX
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL_STACK
Events requesting above non-supported branch filters get rejected.
------------------ Possible 'branch_sample_type' Mismatch -----------------
Branch stack sampling attributes 'event->attr.branch_sample_type' generally
remain the same for all the events during a perf record session.
$perf record -e <event_1> -e <event_2> -j <branch_filters> [workload]
event_1->attr.branch_sample_type == event_2->attr.branch_sample_type
This 'branch_sample_type' is used to configure the BRBE hardware, when both
events i.e <event_1> and <event_2> get scheduled on a given PMU. But during
PMU HW event's privilege filter inheritance, 'branch_sample_type' does not
remain the same for all events. Let's consider the following example
$perf record -e cycles:u -e instructions:k -j any,save_type ls
cycles->attr.branch_sample_type != instructions->attr.branch_sample_type
Because cycles event inherits PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_USER and instruction event
inherits PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_KERNEL. The proposed solution here configures
BRBE hardware with 'branch_sample_type' from last event to be added in the
PMU and hence captured branch records only get passed on to matching events
during a PMU interrupt.
static int
armpmu_add(struct perf_event *event, int flags)
{
........
if (has_branch_stack(event)) {
/*
* Reset branch records buffer if a new task event gets
* scheduled on a PMU which might have existing records.
* Otherwise older branch records present in the buffer
* might leak into the new task event.
*/
if (event->ctx->task && hw_events->brbe_context != event->ctx) {
hw_events->brbe_context = event->ctx;
if (armpmu->branch_reset)
armpmu->branch_reset();
}
hw_events->brbe_users++;
Here -------> hw_events->brbe_sample_type = event->attr.branch_sample_type;
}
........
}
Instead of overriding existing 'branch_sample_type', both could be merged.
--------------------------- Virtualisation support ------------------------
- Branch stack sampling is not currently supported inside the guest (TODO)
- FEAT_BRBE advertised as absent via clearing ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.BRBE
- Future support in guest requires emulating FEAT_BRBE
- Branch stack sampling the guest is not supported in the host (TODO)
- Tracing the guest with event->attr.exclude_guest = 0
- There are multiple challenges involved regarding mixing events
with mismatched branch_sample_type and exclude_guest and passing
on captured BRBE records to intended events during PMU interrupt
- Guest access for BRBE registers and instructions has been blocked
- BRBE state save is not required for VHE host (EL2) guest (EL1) transition
- BRBE state is saved for NVHE host (EL1) guest (EL1) transition
-------------------------------- Testing ---------------------------------
- Cross compiled for both arm64 and arm32 platforms
- Passes all branch tests with 'perf test branch' on arm64
-------------------------------- Questions -------------------------------
- Instead of configuring the BRBE HW with branch_sample_type from the last
event to be added on the PMU as proposed, could those be merged together
e.g all privilege requests ORed, to form a common BRBE configuration and
all events get branch records after a PMU interrupt ?

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220613100119.684673-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
- Added CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS wrapper for all branch sample filter helpers
- Process new perf branch types via PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI
Changes in RFC V2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220412115455.293119-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
- Added branch_sample_priv() while consolidating other branch sample filter helpers
- Changed all SYS_BRBXXXN_EL1 register definition encodings per Marc
- Changed the BRBE driver as per proposed BRBE related perf ABI changes (V5)
- Added documentation for struct arm_pmu changes, updated commit message
- Updated commit message for BRBE detection infrastructure patch
- PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_KERNEL gets checked during arm event init (outside the driver)
- Branch privilege state capture mechanism has now moved inside the driver
