Commit:

1aed267 perf kvm: Do guest-only counting by default

introduced a bug on AMD systems whereby simple commands:

$ perf stat ls
Performance counter stats for 'ls':
0 cycles # 0.000 GHz
0.003704596 seconds time elapsed

would not count anything anymore. Same results for perf record.

I tracked it down to guest mode exclusion being enabled
by default leading to attr->exclude_guest = 1. When
not operating under any sort of virtualization, this
causes the PMU not to count anything.

The fix disables guest exclusion by default.

CCing Joerg. I think he fixed this or similar problem recently.

Yeah, but that causes simple commands such as "perf stat -e cycles ls"
to return 0 count.

So either you get a segfault or you get zero count. There is something
else going on here...

agreed. Did you try reverting exclude_guest by default?

Hmm, looks like the counters will not do any counting when EFER.SVME==0
and HO==1 or GO==1 is set in the counters :(
A solution would be to mask out these bits in the perf-ctrl register
when EFER.SVME=0

I'll try to come up with a fix soon.

Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86: Fix HO/GO counting with SVM disabled

It turned out that a performance counter on AMD does not
count at all when the GO or HO bit is set in the control
register and SVM is disabled in EFER.

This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit
in the performance counter control register when SVM is not
enabled.

The GO bit is not touched because it is only set when the
user wants to count in guest-mode only. So when SVM is
disabled the counter should not run at all and the
not-counting is the intended behaviour.

These should go into x86.c. If the functions later gain meaning on
Intel, we want them to be called (and nothing in the name suggests
they're AMD specific).

I was to suggest the reverse: since this patch addesses an AMD bug, why
not push those functions into perf_event_amd.c and make them dependent
on CONFIG_CPU_SUP_AMD as well.

It depends on which direction you expect the code to grow. These hooks
seem reasonable, so I think they should be generic.

Okay, I am fine with both directions. But since this patch is a fix in
the first place I make it more AMD specific for now. If we need this as
a generic feature it can easily be changed back.

Why this (boot_cpu_data.x86 == 0x15) change?

I think it is related to .cpu_starting callback now available in
amd_pmu_f15h where previously it wasn't.

This is because this function did not run on Fam15h before but now it
has to so that cpuc->perf_ctr_virt_mask is initialized. The other stuff
done in this function is setup for northbridge counter. These are not
yet implemented for Fam15h CPUs so this setup must not run on those
CPUs. Therefore the check was added.
Once northbridge counters are implemented for Fam15h this check can go
away again.

Thanks. Ingo, this had better go through tip.git since most of the
changes are perf related.

Nope, northbridge on fam15 is completely disjoint from the regular pmu
and should thus be a separate driver.

The only reason the old amd driver has them both is because how they
shared the registers so there is a shared resource to manage.

Its starting to look like we should kill this helper, the extra_reg muck
is Intel only and the disable_mask is AMD.



Queued it for now though..
