FAIL: Intel: all counters 2. FAIL: Intel: core cycles-0 3. FAIL: Intel: llc misses-4 Further investigation shows these failures are all false alarms rather than real vPMU issues. The failure 1 is caused by a bug in check_counters_many() which defines a cnt[] array with length 10. On Sapphire Rapids KVM supports 8 GP counters and 3 fixed counters, obviously the total counter number (11) of Sapphire Rapids exceed current cnt[] length 10, it would cause a out of memory access and lead to the "all counters" false alarm. Patch 02~03 would fix this issue. The failure 2 is caused by pipeline and cache warm-up latency. Currently "core cycles" is the first executed event. When the measured loop() program is executed at the first time, cache hierarchy and pipeline are needed to warm up. All these warm-up work consumes so much cycles that it exceeds the predefined upper boundary and cause the failure. Patch 04 fixes this issue. The failure 3 is caused by 0 llc misses count. It's possible and reasonable that there is no llc misses happened for such simple loop() asm blob especially along with larger and larger LLC size on new processors. Patch 09 would fix this issue by introducing clflush instruction to force LLC miss. Besides above bug fixes, this patch series also includes several optimizations. One important optimization (patch 07~08) is to move GLOBAL_CTRL enabling/disabling into the loop asm blob, so the precise count for instructions and branches events can be measured and the verification can be done against the precise count instead of the rough count range. This improves the verification accuracy. Another important optimization (patch 10~11) is to leverage IBPB command to force to trigger a branch miss, so the lower boundary of branch miss event can be set to 1 instead of the ambiguous 0. This eliminates the ambiguity brought from 0. All these changes are tested on Intel Sapphire Rapids server platform and the pmu test passes. Since I have no AMD platforms on my hand, these changes are not verified on AMD platforms yet. If someone can help to verify these changes on AMD platforms, it's welcome and appreciated. Changes: v2 -> v3: fix "core cycles" failure, introduce precise verification for instructions/branches, leverage IBPB command to optimize branch misses verification, drop v2 introduced slots event verification v1 -> v2: introduce clflush to optimize llc misses verification introduce rdrand to optimize branch misses verification History: v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231031092921.2885109-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231024075748.1675382-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com/ Dapeng Mi (10): x86: pmu: Enlarge cnt[] length to 64 in check_counters_many() x86: pmu: Add asserts to warn inconsistent fixed events and counters x86: pmu: Switch instructions and core cycles events sequence x86: pmu: Refine fixed_events[] names x86: pmu: Remove blank line and redundant space x86: pmu: Enable and disable PMCs in loop() asm blob x86: pmu: Improve instruction and branches events verification x86: pmu: Improve LLC misses event verification x86: pmu: Add IBPB indirect jump asm blob x86: pmu: Improve branch misses event verification Xiong Zhang (1): x86: pmu: Remove duplicate code in pmu_init() lib/x86/pmu.c | 5 -- x86/pmu.c | 201 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 2 files changed, 171 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-)
