Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Perf: Some fixes for Alder Lake and Sapphire Rapids

From: Kan Liang <[email protected]>

The patchset includes several fixes for a special configuration and
specific events on Alder Lake and Sapphire Rapids.

A single fix patch is easily buried in the numerous LKML emails. So I
put them together to attract more attention.

They are independent small fixes and can be reviewed/merged separately.

perf/x86/intel: Fix fixed counter check warning for some Alder Lake
perf/x86/intel: Add more events requires FRONTEND MSR on Sapphire Rapids
perf/x86/intel: Fix instructions:ppp support in Sapphire Rapids

Subject: [RESEND PATCH 1/3] perf/x86/intel: Fix fixed counter check warning for some Alder Lake

From: Kan Liang <[email protected]>

For some Alder Lake machine, the below fixed counter check warning may be
triggered.

[ 2.010766] hw perf events fixed 5 > max(4), clipping!

Current perf unconditionally increases the number of the GP counters and
the fixed counters for a big core PMU on an Alder Lake system, because
the number enumerated in the CPUID only reflects the common counters.
The big core may has more counters. However, Alder Lake may have an
alternative configuration. With that configuration,
the X86_FEATURE_HYBRID_CPU is not set. The number of the GP counters and
fixed counters enumerated in the CPUID is accurate. Perf mistakenly
increases the number of counters. The warning is triggered.

Directly use the enumerated value on the system with the alternative
configuration.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] perf/x86/intel: Add more events requires FRONTEND MSR on Sapphire Rapids

From: Kan Liang <[email protected]>

On Sapphire Rapids, there are two more events 0x40ad and 0x04c2 which
rely on the FRONTEND MSR. If the FRONTEND MSR is not set correctly, the
count value is not correct.

Update intel_spr_extra_regs[] to support them.

From: Kan Liang <[email protected]>

Perf errors out when sampling instructions:ppp.

$ perf record -e instructions:ppp -- true
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument)
for event (instructions:ppp).

The instruction PDIR is only available on the fixed counter 0. The event
constraint has been updated to fixed0_constraint in
icl_get_event_constraints(). The Sapphire Rapids codes unconditionally
error out for the event which is not available on the GP counter 0.

Make the instructions:ppp an exception.
