2025-03-11perf x86/topdown: Fix topdown leader sampling test error on hybridDapeng Mi
When running topdown leader smapling test on Intel hybrid platforms, such as LNL/ARL, we see the below error. Topdown leader sampling test Topdown leader sampling [Failed topdown events not reordered correctly] It indciates the below command fails. perf record -o "${perfdata}" -e "{instructions,slots,topdown-retiring}:S" true The root cause is that perf tool creats a perf event for each PMU type if it can create. As for this command, there would be 5 perf events created, cpu_atom/instructions/,cpu_atom/topdown_retiring/, cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/ For these 5 events, the 2 cpu_atom events are in a group and the other 3 cpu_core events are in another group. When arch_topdown_sample_read() traverses all these 5 events, events cpu_atom/instructions/ and cpu_core/slots/ don't have a same group leade, and then return false directly and lead to cpu_core/slots/ event is used to sample and this is not allowed by PMU driver. It's a overkill to return false directly if "evsel->core.leader != leader->core.leader" since there could be multiple groups in the event list. Just "continue" instead of "return false" to fix this issue.

2024-10-16perf x86/topdown: Refine helper arch_is_topdown_metrics()Dapeng Mi
Leverage the existed function perf_pmu__name_from_config() to check if an event is topdown metrics event. perf_pmu__name_from_config() goes through the defined formats and figures out the config of pre-defined topdown events. This avoids to figure out the config of topdown pre-defined events with hard-coded format strings "event=" and "umask=" and provides more flexibility.

2024-09-30perf x86/topdown: Correct leader selection with sample_read enabledDapeng Mi
Addresses an issue where, in the absence of a topdown metrics event within a sampling group, the slots event was incorrectly bypassed as the sampling leader when sample_read was enabled. perf record -e '{slots,branches}:S' -c 10000 -vv sleep 1 In this case, the slots event should be sampled as leader but the branches event is sampled in fact like the verbose output shows. perf_event_attr: type 4 (cpu) size 168 config 0x400 (slots) sample_type IP|TID|TIME|READ|CPU|IDENTIFIER read_format ID|GROUP|LOST disabled 1 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 5 ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: type 0 (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE) size 168 config 0x4 (PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS) { sample_period, sample_freq } 10000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|READ|CPU|IDENTIFIER read_format ID|GROUP|LOST sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 The sample period of slots event instead of branches event is reset to 0.

2024-09-30perf x86/topdown: Complete topdown slots/metrics events checkDapeng Mi
It's not complete to check whether an event is a topdown slots or topdown metrics event by only comparing the event name since user may assign the event by RAW format, e.g. perf stat -e '{instructions,cpu/r400/,cpu/r8300/}' sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': <not counted> instructions <not counted> cpu/r400/ <not supported> cpu/r8300/ 1.002917796 seconds time elapsed 0.002955000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys The RAW format slots and topdown-be-bound events are not recognized and not regroup the events, and eventually cause error. Thus add two helpers arch_is_topdown_slots()/arch_is_topdown_metrics() to detect whether an event is topdown slots/metrics event by comparing the event config directly, and use these two helpers to replace the original event name comparisons.

Request the topdown metric group of a level with the metrics in the group 'TopdownL<level>' rather than through specific events. As more topdown levels are supported this way, such as 6 on Intel Ice Lake, default to just showing the level 1 metrics. This can be overridden using '--td-level'.

2022-07-29perf stat: Add topdown metrics in the default perf stat on the hybrid machineZhengjun Xing
Topdown metrics are missed in the default perf stat on the hybrid machine, add Topdown metrics in default perf stat for hybrid systems. Currently, we support the perf metrics Topdown for the p-core PMU in the perf stat default, the perf metrics Topdown support for e-core PMU will be implemented later separately. Refactor the code adds two x86 specific functions. Widen the size of the event name column by 7 chars, so that all metrics after the "#" become aligned again. The perf metrics topdown feature is supported on the cpu_core of ADL. The dedicated perf metrics counter and the fixed counter 3 are used for the topdown events. Adding the topdown metrics doesn't trigger multiplexing.

2022-06-03perf record: Support sample-read topdown metric group for hybrid platformsZhengjun Xing
With the hardware TopDown metrics feature, the sample-read feature should be supported for a TopDown group, e.g., sample a non-topdown event and read a Topdown metric group. But the current perf record code errors are out. For a TopDown metric group,the slots event must be the leader of the group, but the leader slots event doesn't support sampling. To support sample-read the TopDown metric group, uses the 2nd event of the group as the "leader" for the purposes of sampling.
