Subject: [PATCH 00/11] arm: perf: add support for heterogeneous PMUs

In systems with heterogeneous CPUs (e.g. big.LITTLE) the associated PMUs
also differ in terms of the supported set of events, the precise
behaviour of each of those events, and the number of event counters.
Thus it is not possible to expose these PMUs as a single logical PMU.

Instead a logical PMU is created per CPU microarchitecture, which events
can target directly:

$ perf stat \
-e armv7_cortex_a7/config=0x11/ \
-e armv7_cortex_a15/config=0x11/ \
./test

Performance counter stats for './test':

7980455 armv7_cortex_a7/config=0x11/ [27.29%]
9947934 armv7_cortex_a15/config=0x11/ [72.66%]

0.016734833 seconds time elapsed

This series is based atop of my recent preparatory rework [1,2].

Thanks,
Mark.

Subject: [PATCH 01/11] of: Add empty of_get_next_parent stub

There's no stub version of of_get_next_parent, so use in code compiled
without !CONFIG_OF will cause the kernel build to fail.

This patch adds a stub version of of_get_next_parent as is with other
!CONFIG_OF stub functions, so such code can compile without CONFIG_OF.

Subject: [PATCH 03/11] arm: perf: treat PMUs as CPU affine

In multi-cluster systems, the PMUs can be different across clusters, and
so our logical PMU may not be able to schedule events on all CPUs.

This patch adds a cpumask to encode which CPUs a PMU driver supports
controlling events for, and limits the driver to scheduling events on
those CPUs, and enabling and disabling the physical PMUs on those CPUs.
Currently the cpumask is set to match all CPUs.

Subject: [PATCH 05/11] arm: perf: reject multi-pmu groups

An event group spanning multiple CPU PMUs can never be scheduled, as at
least one event should always fail, and are therefore nonsensical.
Additionally, groups spanning multiple PMUs would require additional
validation logic throughout the driver to prevent CPU PMUs from stepping
on each others' internal state. Given that such groups are nonsensical
to begin with, the simple option is to reject such groups entirely.
Groups consisting of software events and CPU PMU events are benign so
long as the CPU PMU events only target a single CPU PMU.

This patch ensures that we reject the creation of event groups which
span multiple CPU PMUs, avoiding the issues described above. The
addition of this_pmu to the validation logic made the fake_pmu more
confusing than it already was; so this is renamed to the more accurate
hw_events. As hw_events was being modified anyway, the initialisation of
hw_events.used_mask is also simplified with the use of a designated
initializer rather than the existing memset.

Subject: [PATCH 07/11] arm: perf: document PMU affinity binding

To describe the various ways CPU PMU interrupts might be wired up, we
can refer to the topology information in the device tree.

This patch adds a new property to the PMU binding, interrupts-affinity,
which describes the relationship between CPUs and interrupts. This
information is necessary to handle systems with heterogeneous PMU
implementations (e.g. big.LITTLE). Documentation is added describing the
use of said property.

Subject: [PATCH 08/11] arm: perf: add functions to parse affinity from dt

Depending on hardware configuration, some devices may only be accessible
from certain CPUs, may have interrupts wired up to a subset of CPUs, or
may have operations which affect subsets of CPUs. To handle these
devices it is necessary to describe this affinity information in
devicetree.

This patch adds functions to handle parsing the CPU affinity of
properties from devicetree, based on Lorenzo's topology binding,
allowing subsets of CPUs to be associated with interrupts, hardware
ports, etc. The functions can be used to build cpumasks and also to test
whether an affinity property only targets one CPU independent of the
current configuration (e.g. when the kernel supports fewer CPUs than are
physically present). This is useful for dealing with mixed SPI/PPI
devices.

A device may have an arbitrary number of affinity properties, the
meaning of which is device-specific and should be specified in a given
device's binding document.

For example, an affinity property describing interrupt routing may
consist of a phandle pointing to a subtree of the topology nodes,
indicating the set of CPUs an interrupt originates from or may be taken
on. Bindings may have restrictions on the topology nodes referenced -
for describing coherency controls an affinity property may indicate a
whole cluster (including any non-CPU logic it contains) is affected by
some configuration.

Subject: [PATCH 09/11] arm: perf: parse cpu affinity from dt

The current way we read interrupts form devicetree assumes that
interrupts are in increasing order of logical cpu id (MPIDR.Aff{2,1,0}),
and that these logical ids are in a contiguous block. This may not be
the case in general - after a kexec cpu ids may be arbitrarily assigned,
and multi-cluster systems do not have a contiguous range of cpu ids.

This patch parses cpu affinity information for interrupts from an
optional "interrupts-affinity" devicetree property described in the
devicetree binding document. Support for existing dts and board files
remains.

Subject: [PATCH 11/11] arm: dts: vexpress: describe all PMUs in TC2 dts

The dts for the CoreTile Express A15x2 A7x3 (TC2) only describes the
PMUs of the Cortex-A15 CPUs, and not the Cortex-A7 CPUs.

Now that we have a mechanism for describing disparate PMUs and their
interrupts in device tree, this patch makes use of these to describe the
PMUs for all CPUs in the system.

Subject: [PATCH 04/11] arm: perf: filter unschedulable events

Different CPU microarchitectures implement different PMU events, and
thus events which can be scheduled on one microarchitecture cannot be
scheduled on another, and vice-versa. Some archicted events behave
differently across microarchitectures, and thus cannot be meaningfully
summed. Due to this, we reject the scheduling of an event on a CPU of a
different microarchitecture to that the event targets.

When the core perf code is scheduling events and encounters an event
which cannot be scheduled, it stops attempting to schedule events. As
the perf core periodically rotates the list of events, for some
proportion of the time events which are unschedulable will block events
which are schedulable, resulting in low utilisation of the hardware
counters.

This patch implements a pmu::filter_match callback such that we can
detect and skip such events while scheduling early, before they can
block the schedulable events. This prevents the low HW counter
utilisation issue.

Subject: [PATCH 02/11] perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering

In certain circumstances it may not be possible to schedule particular
events due to constraints other than a lack of hardware counters (e.g.
on big.LITTLE systems where CPUs support different events). The core
perf event code does not distinguish these cases and pessimistically
assumes that any failure to schedule an events is due to a lack of
hardware counters, ending event group scheduling early despite hardware
counters remaining available.

When such an unschedulable event exists in a ctx->flexible_groups list
it can unnecessarily prevent event groups following it in the list from
being scheduled until it is rotated to the end of the list. This can
result in events being scheduled for only a portion of the time they
would otherwise be eligible, and for short running programs unfortunate
initial list ordering can result in no events being counted.

This patch adds a new (optional) filter_match function pointer to struct
pmu which backends can use to tell the perf core whether or not it is
worth attempting to schedule an event. This plugs into the existing
event_filter_match logic, and makes it possible to avoid the scheduling
problem described above.

I'm not entirely comfortable with using interrupt affinity to convey
PMU affinity. It seems perfectly plausible for somebody to play the usual
trick of ORing all the irq lines together, despite having a big/little
PMU configuration.

Can you describe such a system with this binding?

Wouldn't this be more at home in topology.c, or somewhere where others can

Hmm, ok, so we're assuming that all the PMUs will be wired with PPIs in this
case. I have a patch allowing per-cpu interrupts to be requested for a
cpumask, but I suppose that can wait until it's actually needed.

Modulo the patches I commented on, the ARM perf bits look fine to me. For
those:

Acked-by: Will Deacon <[email protected]>

However, you need to get the event_filter_match change into the core code
before I can queue anything.

Are there cases beyond PMUs we need to handle? I would think so, so we
should document this generically.

Isn't this a single cluster of 2 cpus?

The meaning of single could be made a bit more clear especially if you
consider Will's case. But I haven't really thought of better
wording...

That was what I tried way back when I first tried to upstream all of
this, but in the mean time I've not encountered other devices which are
really CPU-affine which use SPIs and hence need a CPU<->IRQ relationship
described.

That said, I'm happy to document whatever approach for referring to a
set of CPUs that we settle on, if that seems more general than PMU IRQ
mapping.

Perhaps. I'll need this for arm64 too and I don't know where that should
live.

I wasn't too keen on assuming all CPUs, but I didn't have the facility
to request a PPI on a subset of CPUs. If you can point me at your patch,
I'd be happy to take a look.

I should have the target CPU mask decoded from whatever the binding
settles on, so at this point it's just plumbing.

Thanks,
Mark.

The patch is here:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/commit/?h=irq&id=774f7bc54577b6875d96e670ee34580077fc10be

But I think we can avoid it until we find a platform that needs it. I can't
see a DT/ABI issue with that, can you?
