RFC: power saving

by Al Grant

Hi, One of the top questions that comes up on CoreSight is how it interacts with CPU power saving, and I'd like to get a handle on where we are with this. This will help us understand if any more work needs to be done. I'd suggest three levels of support: - transparent: use of CoreSight has no effect on CPU power saving - if an idle CPU would have been powered down it's still powered down. Any increased power draw from CoreSight comes from debug/trace blocks being powered up as necessary, not from keeping entire CPUs powered up. - automatic wakelock: use of CoreSight has the effect of disabling powering off of idle CPUs, so there may be a significant increase in power consumption, but it's done automatically and works out of the box. CoreSight itself is fully functional irrespective of how the system is configured. - invasive: power saving must be disabled manually - i.e. you have to get a manual (and possibly device-specific) recipe from somewhere. If you don't then things will break (loss of trace at best, crash at worst). I would hope that perf (all modes) is transparent, and direct use of sysfs is at worst a wakelock... but where are we now? Are there still boards that need manual recipes with the current kernel - either with perf or with sysfs? Thanks, Al

[PATCH v5 0/8] perf cs-etm: Add support for sample flags

by Leo Yan

This patch seris adds support for sample flags so can facilitate perf to print sample flags for branch instruction. Patch 0001 is used to save last branch information in packet structure, this includes instruction type, subtype and condition flag to help making decision for which branch instruction it is. It passes related information from decoder layer to cs-etm.c, so we use cs-etm.c as a central place to set sample flags. Patch 0002 is used to set sample flags for instruction range packet. Patch 0003 is used to set sample flags for trace discontinuity packet. Patches 0004/0005/0006 are preparation for exception packet handling: Patch 0004 addes exception number in packet; pacth 0005/0006 is to use traceID/metadata tuple to access metadata pointer based on traceID, this can help decide if the CPU is connected with ETMv3 or ETMv4, ETMv3 and ETMv4 have totally different definition for exception numbers. Patch 0007 sets sample flags for exception packet; patch 0008 support sample flags for exception return packet. As Mathieu pointed out, one most difficult thing is to handle nest interrupt and trace discontinuity for exception return packet; if we use one data structure to maintain the interrupt context and also track the nest interrupts, this will be complex. So in patch 0008 we simply to check if there have one SVC instruction prior to the return address, by this way we can simply get rid of the dependency between the exception packet and exception return packet for setting sample flags, thus this can let us to set sample flags for exception return packet only based on the sequential instruction range packet. This patch series is applied on the acme's perf core branch [1] with the with latest commit ee412f14693a ("tools include uapi: Sync linux/vhost.h with the kernel sources"). After applying this patch series, we can verify sample flags with below command: # perf script -F,-time,+flags,+ip,+sym,+dso,+addr,+symoff -k vmlinux Changes from v4: * Fixed typos in comments, and removed redundant info from commit log; * Addressed Mathieu's suggestion to add helper functions for metadata fields (CS_ETM_CPU and CS_ETM_MAGIC) accessing; * Addressed Mathieu's suggestion to include headers with alphabetical order. Changes from v3: * Fixed typos in commit logs; * Rearranged fields in cs_etm_packet by grouping with same variable types; * Fixed ETMv4 exception number which pointed by Mike; * Fixed ETMv4 SVC / SMC / HVC in the same CALL, by checking svc instruction to distinguish them; * Refine ETMv4 return exception packet handling. Changes from v2: * Addressed Mathieu's suggestion to split one big patch to 3 small patches for setting sample flags, one is for instruction range packet, one is for discontinuity packet and one is for exception packet. * Added supporting for ETMv3 exception packet. * Followed Mathieu's suggestion to move all sample flags handling from decoder layer to cs-etm.c, thus it has enough info to set flags based on trace context in single place. Changes from v1: * Moved exception packets handling patches into patch series 'perf cs-etm: Correct packets handling'. * Added sample flags fixing up for TRACE_OFF packet. * Created a new function which is used to maintain flags fixing up.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 77/97] perf cs-etm: Correct packets swapping in cs_etm__flush()

by Sasha Levin

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan(a)linaro.org> [ Upstream commit 43fd56669c28cd354e9228bdb58e4bca1c1a8b66 ] The structure cs_etm_queue uses 'prev_packet' to point to previous packet, this can be used to combine with new coming packet to generate samples. In function cs_etm__flush() it swaps packets only when the flag 'etm->synth_opts.last_branch' is true, this means that it will not swap packets if without option '--itrace=il' to generate last branch entries; thus for this case the 'prev_packet' doesn't point to the correct previous packet and the stale packet still will be used to generate sequential sample. Thus if dump trace with 'perf script' command we can see the incorrect flow with the stale packet's address info. This patch corrects packets swapping in cs_etm__flush(); except using the flag 'etm->synth_opts.last_branch' it also checks the another flag 'etm->sample_branches', if any flag is true then it swaps packets so can save correct content to 'prev_packet'. Finally this can fix the wrong program flow dumping issue. The patch has a minor refactoring to use 'etm->synth_opts.last_branch' instead of 'etmq->etm->synth_opts.last_branch' for condition checking, this is consistent with that is done in cs_etm__sample().

[PATCH v3 0/8] perf cs-etm: Correct packets handling

by Leo Yan

perf cs-etm module converts decoder elements to packets and then we have more context crossing packets to generate synthenize samples, finally perf tool can faciliate samples for statistics and report the results. This patch series is to address several issues found related with packets handling and samples generation when worked firstly on branch sample flags support for Arm CoreSight trace data, so this patch series is dependency for sample flags setting, will send another dedicated patch series for sample flags later. In this patch series, the first two patches are mainly to fix issues in cs_etm__flush(): patch 0001 corrects packets swapping in cs_etm__flush() and this can fix the wrong branch sample caused by the missed packets swapping; patch 0002 is to fix the wrong samples generation with stale packets at the end of trace block. Patch 0003 and 0004 are for minor fixing; patch 0003 removes unused field 'cs_etm_decoder::trace_on', this can simplize the switch-case code for all discontinuity packet generation by using one code block; patch 0004 is to refactor enumeration cs_etm_sample_type. Patch 0005 is to rename CS_ETM_TRACE_ON to CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY, we use a more general packet type to present trace discontinuity, so it can be used by TRACE_ON event, and also can be used by NO_SYNC and EO_TRACE elements. Patch 0006 is used to support NO_SYNC packet, otherwise the trace decoding cannot reflect the tracing discontinuity caused by NO_SYNC packet. Patch 0007 is used to support EO_TRACE packet, which also introduces the tracing discontinuity at the end of trace and we should save last trace data for it. Patch 0008 is used to generate branch sample for exception packets. Credit to Mike Leach and Robert Walker who made me clear for underlying mechanism for NO_SYNC/EO_TRACE elements, Mike also shared the detailed explanation for why we can treat NO_SYNC and TRACE_ON elements as the same, so except following Mike & Rob suggestion for trace discontinuity consolidation, most commit log of patches 0006/0007 also come from Mike's explanation. This patch series is applied directly on the acme's perf/core branch [1] with latest commit aaab25f03e9e ("perf trace: Allow selecting use the use of the ordered_events code"). With applying the dependency patch, this patch series has been tested for branch samples dumping with below command on Juno board: # perf script -F,-time,+ip,+sym,+dso,+addr,+symoff -k vmlinux Changes from v2: * Addressed Mathieu's comments and suggestions for minor refactoring for removing unused field 'cs_etm_decoder::trace_on' and added one dedicated patch to refactor enumeration cs_etm_sample_type. * Added Mathieu's 'reviewed' tags; Very appreciate Mathieu's many suggestion for crossing several patch series. Changes from v1: * Synced the consistent code in patch 0001 for condition checking. * Introduced new function cs_etm__end_block() for flushing packet at the end of trace block. * Added new patch 0003 to rename CS_ETM_TRACE_ON to CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY. * Used the same one packet type CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY for all trace discontinuity (include support TRACE_ON/EO_TRACE/NO_SYNC packets). * Removed tracking exception number patch, which will be added in sample flag patch series.

[PATCH 33/63] perf cs-etm: Generate branch sample for exception packet

by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan(a)linaro.org> The exception packet appears as one element with 'elem_type' == OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_EXCEPTION or OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_EXCEPTION_RET, which is present for exception entry and exit respectively. The decoder sets the packet fields 'packet->exc' and 'packet->exc_ret' to indicate the exception packets; but exception packets don't have a dedicated sample type and shares the same sample type CS_ETM_RANGE with normal instruction packets. As a result, the exception packets are taken as normal instruction packets and this introduces confusion in mixing different packet types. Furthermore, these instruction range packets will be processed for branch samples only when 'packet->last_instr_taken_branch' is true, otherwise they will be omitted, this can introduce a mess for exception and exception returning due to not having the complete address range info for context switching. To process exception packets properly, this patch introduces two new sample types: CS_ETM_EXCEPTION and CS_ETM_EXCEPTION_RET; these two types of packets will be handled by cs_etm__exception(). The function cs_etm__exception() forces setting the previous CS_ETM_RANGE packet flag 'prev_packet->last_instr_taken_branch' to true, this matches well with the program flow when the exception is trapped from user space to kernel space, no matter if the most recent flow has branch taken or not; this is also safe for returning to user space after exception handling. After exception packets have their own sample type, the packet fields 'packet->exc' and 'packet->exc_ret' aren't needed anymore, so remove them.

[PATCH 32/63] perf cs-etm: Treat EO_TRACE element as trace discontinuity
