From 2fbf96ed883adcdf0f641cfe07e695dac7e5d540 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junhao He Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2024 18:33:57 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/perf: hisi_pcie: Relax the check on related events If we use two events with the same filter and related event type (see the following example), the driver check whether they are related events and are in the same group, otherwise the function hisi_pcie_pmu_find_related_event() return -EINVAL, then the 2nd event cannot count but the 1st event is running, although the PCIe PMU has other idle counters. In this case, The perf event scheduler will make the two events to multiplex a counter, if the user use the formula (1st event_value / 2nd event_value) to calculate the bandwidth, he/she won't get the correct value, because they are not counting at the same period. This patch tries to fix this by making the related events to use different idle counters if they are not in the same event group. And finally, I'm going to say. The related events are best used in the same group [1]. There are two ways to know if they are related events. a) By event name, such as the latency events "xxx_latency, xxx_cnt" or bandwidth events "xxx_flux, xxx_time". b) By event type, such as "event=0xXXXX, event=0x1XXXX". Use group to count the related events: [1] -e "{pmu_name/xxx_latency,port=1/,pmu_name/xxx_cnt,port=1/}" example: 1st event: hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x804,port=1 2nd event: hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x10804,port=1 test cmd: perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x804,port=1/ \ -e hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x10804,port=1/ before patch: 25,281 hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x804,port=1/ (49.91%) 470,598 hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x10804,port=1/ (50.09%) after patch: 24,147 hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x804,port=1/ 474,558 hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x10804,port=1/ Signed-off-by: Junhao He Signed-off-by: Yicong Yang Reviewed-by: Jonathan Cameron Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240223103359.18669-7-yangyicong@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Will Deacon --- drivers/perf/hisilicon/hisi_pcie_pmu.c | 8 ++------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/perf/hisilicon/hisi_pcie_pmu.c b/drivers/perf/hisilicon/hisi_pcie_pmu.c index b2dde7559639..5b15f3698188 100644 --- a/drivers/perf/hisilicon/hisi_pcie_pmu.c +++ b/drivers/perf/hisilicon/hisi_pcie_pmu.c @@ -409,14 +409,10 @@ static int hisi_pcie_pmu_find_related_event(struct hisi_pcie_pmu *pcie_pmu, if (!sibling) continue; - if (!hisi_pcie_pmu_cmp_event(sibling, event)) - continue; - /* Related events must be used in group */ - if (sibling->group_leader == event->group_leader) + if (hisi_pcie_pmu_cmp_event(sibling, event) && + sibling->group_leader == event->group_leader) return idx; - else - return -EINVAL; } return idx;
