Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf print-events: Fix "perf list" can not display the PMU prefix for some hybrid cache events

From: Zhengjun Xing <[email protected]>

Some hybrid hardware cache events are only available on one CPU PMU. For
example, 'L1-dcache-load-misses' is only available on cpu_core. We have
supported in the perf list clearly reporting this info, the function works
fine before but recently the argument "config" in API is_event_supported()
is changed from "u64" to "unsigned int" which caused a regression, the
"perf list" then can not display the PMU prefix for some hybrid cache
events. For the hybrid systems, the PMU type ID is stored at config[63:32],
define config to "unsigned int" will miss the PMU type ID information, then
the regression happened, the config should be defined as "u64".

Before:
# ./perf list |grep "Hardware cache event"

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf parse-events: Remove "not supported" hybrid cache events

From: Zhengjun Xing <[email protected]>

By default, we create two hybrid cache events, one is for cpu_core, and
another is for cpu_atom. But Some hybrid hardware cache events are only
available on one CPU PMU. For example, the 'L1-dcache-load-misses' is only
available on cpu_core, while the 'L1-icache-loads' is only available on
cpu_atom. We need to remove "not supported" hybrid cache events. By
extending is_event_supported() to global API and using it to check if the
hybrid cache events are supported before being created, we can remove the
"not supported" hybrid cache events.

Before:

# ./perf stat -e L1-dcache-load-misses,L1-icache-loads -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

52,570 cpu_core/L1-dcache-load-misses/
<not supported> cpu_atom/L1-dcache-load-misses/
<not supported> cpu_core/L1-icache-loads/
1,471,817 cpu_atom/L1-icache-loads/

1.004915229 seconds time elapsed

After:

# ./perf stat -e L1-dcache-load-misses,L1-icache-loads -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

54,510 cpu_core/L1-dcache-load-misses/
1,441,286 cpu_atom/L1-icache-loads/

Sorry for this breakage, I suspect that a long review on the
refactoring CL meant that I missed the intervening fix. Can we add a
test on this? It would need to be hybrid specific and skip otherwise.

Thanks,
Ian

A comment to explain this would be useful.

For consistency should this use the "goto" pattern now? You can also
handle the ENOMEM case for strdup.

This makes me tempted to say this function should be in parse-events.c.
