Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf test: Add coresight tests to guage quality of data generated
Date:   Wed,  9 Mar 2022 12:28:59 +0000

From: Carsten Haitzler <carsten.haitzler@arm.com>

This adds a test harness and tests to run perf record and examine the
resuling output when coresight is enabled on arm64 and check the
resulting quality of the output as part of perf test. These tests use
various tools to produce output from perf record then measure some key
specific aspects of that data to see if the data exists at all and
contains key aspects such as measuring some data for every thread of
a test or produces sufficient data for large exeuction runs of a large
executable. etc.

+Arm Coresight Support
+=====================
+
+Coresight is a feature of some Arm based processors that allows for
+debugging. One of the things it can do is trace every instruction
+executed and remotely expose that information in a hardware compressed
+stream. Perf is able to locally access that stream and store it to the
+output perf data files. This stream can then be later decoded to give the
+instructions that were traced for debugging or profiling purposes. You
+can log such data with a perf record command like:
+
+    perf record -e cs_etm//u testbinary
+
+This would run some test binary (testbinary) until it exits and record
+a perf.data trace file. That file would have AUX sections if coresight
+is working correctly. You can dump the content of this file as
+readable text with a command like:
+
+    perf report --stdio --dump -i perf.data
+
+You should find some sections of this file have AUX data blocks like:
+
+    0x1e78 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0x11dd0  offset: 0  ref: 0x1b614fc1061b0ad1  idx: 0  tid: 531230  cpu: -1
+
+    . ... CoreSight ETM Trace data: size 73168 bytes
+            Idx:0; ID:10;   I_ASYNC : Alignment Synchronisation.
+              Idx:12; ID:10;  I_TRACE_INFO : Trace Info.; INFO=0x0 { CC.0 }
+              Idx:17; ID:10;  I_ADDR_L_64IS0 : Address, Long, 64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0x0000000000000000;
+              Idx:26; ID:10;  I_TRACE_ON : Trace On.
+              Idx:27; ID:10;  I_ADDR_CTXT_L_64IS0 : Address & Context, Long, 64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0x0000FFFFB6069140; Ctxt: AArch64,EL0, NS;
+              Idx:38; ID:10;  I_ATOM_F6 : Atom format 6.; EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
+              Idx:39; ID:10;  I_ATOM_F6 : Atom format 6.; EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

+              Idx:41; ID:10;  I_ATOM_F6 : Atom format 6.; EEEEEEEEEEEN
+              ...
+
+If you see these above, then your system is tracing coresight data
+correctly.
+
+To compile perf with coresight support in the perf directory do
+
+    make CORESIGHT=1
+
+This will compile the perf tool with coresight support as well as
+build some small test binaries for perf test. This requires you also
+be compiling for 64bit Arm (ARM64/aarch64). The tools run as part of
+perf coresight tracing are in tests/shell/tools/coresight.
+
+You will also want coresight support enabled in your kernel config.
+Ensure it is enabled with:
+
+    CONFIG_CORESIGHT=y
+
+There are various other coresight options you probably also want
+enabled like:
+
+    CONFIG_CORESIGHT_LINKS_AND_SINKS=y
+    CONFIG_CORESIGHT_LINK_AND_SINK_TMC=y
+    CONFIG_CORESIGHT_CATU=y
+    CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SINK_TPIU=y
+    CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SINK_ETBV10=y
+    CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SOURCE_ETM4X=y
+    CONFIG_CORESIGHT_STM=y
+    CONFIG_CORESIGHT_CPU_DEBUG=y
+    CONFIG_CORESIGHT_CTI=y
+    CONFIG_CORESIGHT_CTI_INTEGRATION_REGS=y
+
+Please refer to the kernel configuration help for more information.
+
+Perf test - Verify kernel and userspace perf coresight work
+===========================================================
+
+When you run perf test, it will do a lot of self tests. Some of those
+tests will cover Coresight (only if enabled and on ARM64). You
+generally would run perf test from the tools/perf directory in the
+kernel tree. Some tests will check some internal perf support like:
+
+    Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and synthesized samples
+
+Some others will actually use perf record and some test binaries that
+are in tests/shell/tools/coresight and will collect traces to ensure a
+minimum level of functionality is met. The scripts that launch these
+tests are in tests/shell. These will all look like:
+
+    Coresight / Memcpy 1M 25 Threads
+    Coresight / Unroll Loop Thread 2
+    ...
+
+These perf record tests will not run if the tool binaries do not exist
+in tests/shell/tools/coresight/*/ and will be skipped. If you do not
+have coresight support in hardware then either do not build perf with
+coresight support or remove these binaries in order to not have these
+tests fail and have them skip instead.
+
+These tests will log historical results in the current working
+directory (e.g. tools/perf) and will be named stats-*.csv like:
+
+    stats-asm_pure_loop-out.csv
+    stats-bubble_sort-random.csv
+    ...
+
+These statistic files log some aspects of the AUX data sections in
+the perf data output counting some numbers of certain encodings (a
+good way to know that it's working in a very simple way). One problem
+with coresight is that given a large enough amount of data needing to
+be logged, some of it can be lost due to the processor not waking up
+in time to read out all the data from buffers etc.. You will notice
+that the amount of data collected can vary a lot per run of perf test.
+If you wish to see how this changes over time, simply run perf test
+multiple times and all these csv files will have more and more data
+appended to it that you can later examine, graph and otherwise use to
+figure out if things have become worse or better.
+
+Be aware that amny of these tests take quite a while to run, specifically
+in processing the perf data file and dumping contents to then examine what
+is inside.
+
+You can change where these csv logs are stored by setting the
+PERF_TEST_CORESIGHT_STATDIR environment variable before running perf
+test like:
+
+    export PERF_TEST_CORESIGHT_STATDIR=/var/tmp
+    perf test
+
+They will also store resulting perf output data in the current
+directory for later inspection like:
+
+    perf-memcpy-1m.data
+    perf-thread_loop-2th.data
+    ...
+
+You can alter where the perf data files are stored by setting the
+PERF_TEST_CORESIGHT_DATADIR environment variable such as:
+
+    PERF_TEST_CORESIGHT_DATADIR=/var/tmp
+    perf test
+
+You may wish to set these above environment variables if you which to
+keep the output of tests outside of the current working directory for
+longer term storage and examination.
