Commit 531d241063 ("perf tools: Do not include stringify.h from the
kernel sources") seems to have accidentially removed the inclusion of
"util/header.h" from "arch/powerpc/util/header.c".
"util/header.h" provides the prototype for get_cpuid() and is needed to
build perf on Powerpc:
arch/powerpc/util/header.c:17:1: error: no previous prototype for 'get_cpuid' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Powerpc provides hcall events that also provides insights into guest
behaviour. Enhance perf kvm stat to record and analyze hcall events.
- To trace hcall events :
perf kvm stat record
- To show the results :
perf kvm stat report --event=hcall
The result shows the number of hypervisor calls from the guest grouped
by their respective reasons displayed with the frequency.
This patch makes use of two additional tracepoints
"kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_enter" and "kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_exit". To map the hcall
codes to their respective names, it needs a mapping. Such mapping is
added in this patch in book3s_hcalls.h.
# pgrep qemu

perf kvm can be used to analyze guest exit reasons. This support already
exists in x86. Hence, porting it to powerpc.
- To trace KVM events :
perf kvm stat record
If many guests are running, we can track for a specific guest by using
--pid as in : perf kvm stat record --pid <pid>
- To see the results :
perf kvm stat report
The result shows the number of exits (from the guest context to
host/hypervisor context) grouped by their respective exit reasons with
their frequency.
Since, different powerpc machines have different KVM tracepoints, this
patch discovers the available tracepoints dynamically and accordingly
looks for them. If any single tracepoint is not present, this support
won't be enabled for reporting. To record, this will fail if any of the
events we are looking to record isn't available. Right now, its only
supported on PowerPC Book3S_HV architectures.
To analyze the different exits, group them and present them (in a slight
descriptive way) to the user, we need a mapping between the "exit code"
(dumped in the kvm_guest_exit tracepoint data) and to its related
Interrupt vector description (exit reason). This patch adds this mapping
in book3s_hv_exits.h.
It records on two available KVM tracepoints for book3s_hv:
"kvm_hv:kvm_guest_exit" and "kvm_hv:kvm_guest_enter".
Here is a sample o/p:
# pgrep qemu
19378
60515
2 Guests are running on the host.
# perf kvm stat record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624
samples) ]
# perf kvm stat report -p 60515

We were asking for a 4kHz sample_freq, making the test fail needlessly
when the system reduced /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
below that.
In this test we only look at the PERF_SAMPLE_TIME fields in PERF_RECORD_
meta events, no need to set sample_freq.
Thanks to Namhyung for suggesting that max_sample_rate could be the
reason for the test failure, seeing the 'perf test -vv' output I sent.

Some tests have sub-tests we want to run, so allow passing this.
Wang tried to avoid having to touch all tests, but then, having the
test.func in an anonymous union makes the build fail on older compilers,
like the one in RHEL6, where:
test a = {
.func = foo,
};
fails.
To fix it leave the func pointer in the main structure and pass the subtest
index to all tests, end result function is the same, but we have just one
function pointer, not two, with and without the subtest index as an argument.

Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the
Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM
(software) event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not
able to create this bundle and we need to manually construct a test
case.
For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf
so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture
specific tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future.
The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the
counter for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read
both the hardware event and the software event counters.
Unfortunately, for CQM that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM
event counters on all sockets, which in NMI context triggers the
WARN_ON_ONCE().

Add support for selecting and processing PERF_RECORD_SWITCH events for
use by Intel PT. If they are available, they will be used in preference
to sched_switch events.
This enables an unprivileged user to trace multi-threaded or
multi-process workloads with any level of perf_event_paranoid. However
it depends on kernel support for PERF_RECORD_SWITCH.
Without this patch, tracing a multi-threaded workload will decode
without error but all the data will be attributed to the main thread.
Without this patch, tracing a multi-process workload will result in
decoder errors because the decoder will not know which executable is
executing.
