Subject: [PATCH V5 0/1] perf: Add CPU hotplug support for events

The embedded world, specifically Android mobile SoCs, rely on CPU
hotplugs to manage power and thermal constraints. These hotplugs
can happen at a very rapid pace. Adjacently, they also relies on
many perf event counters for its management. Therefore, there is
a need to preserve these events across hotplugs.

In such a scenario, a perf client (kernel or user-space) can create
events even when the CPU is offline. If the CPU comes online during
the lifetime of the event, the registered event can start counting
spontaneously. As an extension to this, the events' count can also
be preserved across CPU hotplugs. This takes the burden off of the
clients to monitor the state of the CPU.

The tests were conducted on arm64 device.
/* CPU-1 is offline: Event created when CPU1 is offline */

/ # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
1
/ # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

Test used for testing
#!/bin/sh

chmod +x *

# Count the cycles events on cpu-1 for every 200 ms
./perf stat -e cycles -I 200 -C 1 &

# Make the CPU-1 offline and online continuously
while true; do
sleep 2
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
sleep 2
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
done

Subject: [PATCH V5 1/1] perf: event preserve and create across cpu hotplug

Perf framework doesn't allow preserving CPU events across
CPU hotplugs. The events are scheduled out as and when the
CPU walks offline. Moreover, the framework also doesn't
allow the clients to create events on an offline CPU. As
a result, the clients have to keep on monitoring the CPU
state until it comes back online.

Therefore, introducing the perf framework to support creation
and preserving of (CPU) events for offline CPUs. Through
this, the CPU's online state would be transparent to the
client and it not have to worry about monitoring the CPU's
state. Success would be returned to the client even while
creating the event on an offline CPU. If during the lifetime
of the event the CPU walks offline, the event would be
preserved and would continue to count as soon as (and if) the
CPU comes back online.

Change in V5:
=============
- Rebased it.

Change in V4:
=============
- Released, __get_cpu_context would not be correct way to get the
cpu context of the cpu which is offline, instead use
container_of to get the cpuctx from ctx.

- Changed the goto label name inside event_function_call from
'remove_event_from_context' to 'out'.

Change in V3:
=============
- Jiri has tried perf stat -a and removed one of the cpu from the other
terminal. This resulted in a crash. Crash was because in
event_function_call(), we were passing NULL as cpuctx in
func(event, NULL, ctx, data).Fixed it in this patch.

Change in V2:
=============
As per long back discussion happened at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/15/1324

Peter.Z. has suggested to do thing in different way and shared
patch as well. This patch fixes the issue seen while trying
to achieve the purpose.

Fixed issue on top of Peter's patch:
===================================
1. Added a NULL check on task to avoid crash in __perf_install_in_context.

2. while trying to add event to context when cpu is offline.
Inside add_event_to_ctx() to make consistent state machine while hotplug.

-event->state += PERF_EVENT_STATE_HOTPLUG_OFFSET;
+event->state = PERF_EVENT_STATE_HOTPLUG_OFFSET;

3. In event_function_call(), added a label 'remove_event_from_ctx' to
delete events from context list while cpu is offline.

note that we might need to change how we store cpu topology,
now that it can change during the sampling.. like below it's
the comparison of header data with and without cpu 1

I think some of the report code checks on topology or caches
and it might get confused

perhaps we could watch cpu topology in record and update the
data as we see it changing.. future TODO list ;-)

perf stat is probably fine

Thanks Jiri for pointing it out.
I will take a look at perf record header update code.

It would be good, if we get more reviews on this patch as it is core
event framework change.

Hi Jiri,
