Subject: [PATCH V13 00/14] perf/core: Add ability for an event to "pause" or "resume" AUX area tracing
Hi
Note for V12:
There was a small conflict between the Intel PT changes in
"KVM: x86: Fix Intel PT Host/Guest mode when host tracing" and the
changes in this patch set, so I have put the patch sets together,
along with outstanding fix "perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix buffer full but
size is 0 case"
Cover letter for KVM changes (patches 2 to 4):
There is a long-standing problem whereby running Intel PT on host and guest
in Host/Guest mode, causes VM-Entry failure.
The motivation for this patch set is to provide a fix for stable kernels
prior to the advent of the "Mediated Passthrough vPMU" patch set:
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20240801045907.4010984-1-mizhang@google.com/
which would render a large part of the fix unnecessary but likely not be
suitable for backport to stable due to its size and complexity.
Ideally, this patch set would be applied before "Mediated Passthrough vPMU"
Note that the fix does not conflict with "Mediated Passthrough vPMU", it
is just that "Mediated Passthrough vPMU" will make the code to stop and
restart Intel PT unnecessary.
Note for V11:
Moving aux_paused into a union within struct hw_perf_event caused
a regression because aux_paused was being written unconditionally
even though it is valid only for AUX (e.g. Intel PT) PMUs.
That is fixed in V11.
Hardware traces, such as instruction traces, can produce a vast amount of
trace data, so being able to reduce tracing to more specific circumstances
can be useful.
The ability to pause or resume tracing when another event happens, can do
that.
These patches add such a facilty and show how it would work for Intel
Processor Trace.
Maintainers of other AUX area tracing implementations are requested to
consider if this is something they might employ and then whether or not
the ABI would work for them. Note, thank you to James Clark (ARM) for
evaluating the API for Coresight. Suzuki K Poulose (ARM) also responded
positively to the RFC.
Changes to perf tools are now (since V4) fleshed out.
Please note, Intel® Architecture Instruction Set Extensions and Future
Features Programming Reference March 2024 319433-052, currently:
https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/671368
introduces hardware pause / resume for Intel PT in a feature named
Intel PT Trigger Tracing.
For that more fields in perf_event_attr will be necessary. The main
differences are:
- it can be applied not just to overflows, but optionally to
every event
- a packet is emitted into the trace, optionally with IP
information
- no PMI
- works with PMC and DR (breakpoint) events only
Here are the proposed additions to perf_event_attr, please comment:

Changes in V13:
perf/core: Add aux_pause, aux_resume, aux_start_paused
Do aux_resume at the end of __perf_event_overflow() so as to trace
less of perf itself
perf tools: Add missing_features for aux_start_paused, aux_pause, aux_resume
Add error message also in EOPNOTSUPP case (Leo)
Changes in V12:
Add previously sent patch "perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix buffer full
but size is 0 case"
