The current support for the 24x7 and GPCI counters in the kernel requires
users to specify the domain and offset of the event numerically, which is
obviously hard to use:
perf stat -C 0 -e \
'hv_24x7/domain=2,offset=0xd58,starting_index=0,lpar=0xffffffff/' \
sleep 1
This patchset exports the 24x7 and GPCI counters info in sysfs so users can
specify the events by name:
$ cd /sys/bus/event_source/devices/hv_24x7/events
$ cat HPM_CS_FROM_L4_LDATA__PHYS_CORE
domain=0x2,offset=0xd58,starting_index=$core,lpar=0x0
$ cat HPM_TLBIE__VCPU_HOME_CHIP
domain=0x4,offset=0x358,starting_index=$vcpu,lpar=$sibling_guest_id
perf stat -C 0 -e \
'hv_24x7/HPM_CS_FROM_L4_LDATA__PHYS_CORE,starting_index=0'
sleep 1
This patchset adds the kernel support to export events in sysfs. A follow-on
patchset will add support to the perf tool to parse the event parameters like
'lpar=$sibling_guest_id' and display them via 'perf list'.
Changelog[v5]
- [Jiri Olsa, Peter Zijlstra] Use '$arg' notation rather than ?
to indicate event parameters.
- [Michael Ellerman] Separate the kernel and tool patches in the
patchset into different patchsets.
Changelog[v4]
- [Jiri Olsa Rebase to perf/core tree to fix small merge conflict.
Changelog[v3]
- [Jiri Olsa] Changed the event parameters are specified. If
event file specifes 'param=val' make the usage 'param=123'
rather than 'val=123'. (patch 1,2/10)
- Shortened event names using "PHYS" and "VCPU" (patch 4/10)
- Print help message if invalid parameter is specified or required
parameter is missing.
- Moved 3 patches that are unrelated to parametrized events into
a separate patchset.
- Reordered patches so code changes come first.
Changelog[v2]
- [Joe Perches, David Laight] Use beNN_to_cpu() instead of guessing
the size from type.
- Use kmem_cache_free() to free page allocated with kmem_cache_alloc().
- Rebase to recent kernel
