Subject: [PATCH v2 00/11] perf c2c: Support display for Arm64

Arm64 Neoverse CPUs supports data source in Arm SPE trace, this allows
us to detect cache line contention and transfers.

Unlike x86 architecture, Arm SPE trace data cannot provide 'HITM'
snooping flag, Ali Said has a patch set "perf: arm-spe: Decode SPE
source and use for perf c2c" [1] which introduces 'peer' flag and
synthesizes memory samples with this flag.

Based on patch set [1], this patch set is to finish the second half work
to consume the 'peer' flag in perf c2c tool, it adds an extra display
'peer' mode.

Patches 01, 02 and 03 are to support 'N/A' metrics for store operations.

Patches 04 and 05 adds statistics and dimensions for memory samples with
peer flag.

Patches 06, 07, 08 are for refactoring, it refines the code with more
general naming so this can allow us to easier to extend display modes
but not strictly bound to HITM tags.

Patches 09, 10 and 11 are to extend display 'peer' mode, it also updates
the document and also changes to use 'peer' mode as default mode on
Arm64 arches.

This patch set has been verified for both x86 and Arm64 memory samples.

The display result with x86 memory samples:

Subject: [PATCH v2 07/11] perf c2c: Rename dimension from 'percent_hitm' to 'percent_costly_snoop'

Use more general naming for the main sort dimension, this can allow us
not to sort only on HITM snoop type, so it can be extended to support
other costly snooping operations. So rename the dimension to the prefix
'percent_costly_".

Subject: [PATCH v2 11/11] perf c2c: Use 'peer' as default display for Arm64

Since Arm64 arch doesn't support HITMs flags, so use 'peer' as default
if user doesn't specify display type; for other arches, it still uses
'tot' as default display type if user doesn't specify it.

Subject: [PATCH v2 01/11] perf mem: Add stats for store operation with no available memory level

Sometimes we don't know memory store operations happen on exactly which
memory (or cache) level, the memory level flag is set to PERF_MEM_LVL_NA
in this case; a practical example is Arm SPE AUX trace sets this flag
for all store operations due to absent info for cache level.

This patch is to add a new item "st_na" in structure c2c_stats to add
statistics for store operations with no available cache level.

Subject: [PATCH v2 05/11] perf c2c: Add dimensions for peer load operations

This patch is to add dimensions for peer load operations, include a
dimension for the total statistics for metric 'ld_peer', and also add
dimensions for the single cache line view.

Same as HTIM metrics, this patch also adds the dimension for mean value
for peer load operations.

Subject: [PATCH v2 09/11] perf c2c: Sort on peer snooping for load operations

Except the existed three display options 'tot', 'rmt', 'lcl', this patch
adds a new option 'peer' so can sort on the cache hit for peer snooping.

For displaying with option 'peer', the "Shared Data Cache Line Table" and
"Shared Cache Line Distribution Pareto" both sort with the metrics
"ld_peer". As result, we can get the 'peer' display as below:

# perf c2c report -d peer --coalesce tid,pid,iaddr,dso -N --stdio

Subject: [PATCH v2 06/11] perf c2c: Use explicit names for display macros

Perf c2c tool has an assumption that it heavily depends on HITM snoop
type to detect cache false sharing, unfortunately, HITM is not supported
on some architectures.

Essentially, perf c2c tool wants to find some very costly snooping
operations for false cache sharing, this means it's not necessarily
to stick using HITM tags and we can explore other snooping types
(e.g. SNOOPX_PEER).

For this reason, this patch renames HITM related display macros with
suffix '_HITM', so it can be distinct if later add more display types
for on other snooping type.

Subject: [PATCH v2 08/11] perf c2c: Refactor node header

The node header array contains 3 items, each item is used for one of
the 3 flavors for node accessing info. To extend sorting on other
snooping type and not always stick to HITMs, the second header string
"Node{cpus %hitms %stores}" should be adjusted (e.g. it's changed as
"Node{cpus %peer %stores}").

For this reason, this patch changes the node header array to three
flat variables and uses switch-case in function setup_nodes_header(),
thus it is easier for altering the header string.

Hi Leo,

I tested v2 patch on 2P Altra system.
In case the false-sharing data is mainly from remote node, 'Snoop Peers'
cannot indicate severity of false-sharing. As showed in bellow output,
there are only 10 'Load HIT Peer' records, while there are 2353
'Load Remote DRAM' records.

And the name 'Load Remote DRAM' is kind of misleading, since we cannot tell
the data source is 'DRAM'.

Run false_sharing test(https://github.com/joemario/perf-c2c-usage-files):
one lock_th on node 0, one reader_thd on node 1:

# perf c2c record -- numactl -m 0 ./false_sharing.exe 1
131 mticks, reader_thd (thread 1), on node 1 (cpu 80).

Appreicate for the testing, and your feedback is very helpful.

After some discussion, in the patch set v9 "perf: arm-spe: Decode SPE
source and use for perf c2c" (please ignore the typo "v8", actually
it's patch set v9), Ali has updated the memory tag setting for the
type ARM_SPE_NV_REMOTE. I think the prominent change is we set
PERF_MEM_SNOOPX_PEER flag for remote access.

Please note, in the total statistics, all remote accesses will be
accounted into metric "rmt_hit", so "rmt_hit" includes the access for
remote DRAM or any upwards cache levels due we cannot distinguish
them.

From my experiment, with this updating the output result is promised
for the peer accesses and it's easier for inspecting false sharing.

As you might see I have prepared a git repo:
https://git.linaro.org/people/leo.yan/linux-spe.git/ branch:
perf_c2c_arm_spe_peer_v3, which contains the updated patches for both
memory flag setting and perf c2c related patches.

Could you confirm if the updated code works for you or not?

Thanks,
Leo

Agree that "Load Remote HIT" makes more sense than "Load Remote DRAM".

I tested v3 patch (perf_c2c_arm_spe_peer_v3 branch) on 2P Altra system.

Compared with v2, "Snoop Peer" can better indicate cache false-sharing,
for the 'false_sharing.exe' test case.

Bellow are details:

Hi Leo,

I see that the HITM and Store Refs columns (even N/A) are all 0% on Arm.
Assuming it's a similar example to the x86 one above, does that mean that
these are always expected to be 0? If so, should they be removed to avoid
confusion, or is it just a case of the example not producing any non 0
data for these columns?

Thanks
James

Thanks a lot for the testing and confirmation, Adam.

I will update the patches based on the comments from Joe and James,
after get ready will send out the patch set and loop you.

On Arm SPE, we need to use 'N/A' for Store Refs, but we doesn't need
HITM.

On x86, we should expect 'N/A' is useless and should be removed.

I will update the view for this.

Thanks for the testing!
