      tools: Introduce str_error_r() · c8b5f2c9
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
      returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
      
      But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
      function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
      buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
      instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
      Linux, where musl libc is used.
      
      So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
      interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
      users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
      returned.

      perf/x86/intel/uncore: Add support for the Intel Skylake client uncore PMU · 46866b59
      Kan Liang authored
      
      
      This patch adds full support for Intel SKL client uncore PMU:
      
       - Add support for SKL client CPU uncore PMU, which is similar to the
         BDW client PMU driver. (There are some differences in CBOX numbering
         and uncore control MSR.)
       - Add new support for SkyLake Mobile uncore PMUs, for both CPU and PCI
         uncore functionality.

      perf/core: Fix pmu::filter_match for SW-led groups · 2c81a647
      Mark Rutland authored
      The following commit:
      
        66eb579e
      
       ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering")
      
      added the pmu::filter_match() callback. This was intended to
      avoid HW constraints on events from resulting in extremely
      pessimistic scheduling.
      
      However, pmu::filter_match() is only called for the leader of each event
      group. When the leader is a SW event, we do not filter the groups, and
      may fail at pmu::add() time, and when this happens we'll give up on
      scheduling any event groups later in the list until they are rotated
      ahead of the failing group.
      
      This can result in extremely sub-optimal event scheduling behaviour,
      e.g. if running the following on a big.LITTLE platform:
      
      $ taskset -c 0 ./perf stat \
       -e 'a57{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/}' \
       -e 'a53{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/}' \
       ls
      
           <not counted>      context-switches                                              (0.00%)
           <not counted>      armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/                                 (0.00%)
                      24      context-switches                                              (37.36%)
                57589154      armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/                                 (37.36%)
      
      Here the 'a53' event group was always eligible to be scheduled, but
      the 'a57' group never eligible to be scheduled, as the task was always
      affine to a Cortex-A53 CPU. The SW (group leader) event in the 'a57'
      group was eligible, but the HW event failed at pmu::add() time,
      resulting in ctx_flexible_sched_in giving up on scheduling further
      groups with HW events.
      
      One way of avoiding this is to check pmu::filter_match() on siblings
      as well as the group leader. If any of these fail their
      pmu::filter_match() call, we must skip the entire group before
      attempting to add any events.

      perf/x86/intel: Update event constraints when HT is off · 9010ae4a
      Stephane Eranian authored
      
      
      This patch updates the event constraints for non-PEBS mode for
      Intel Broadwell and Skylake processors. When HT is off, each
      CPU gets 8 generic counters. However, not all events can be
      programmed on any of the 8 counters.  This patch adds the
      constraints for the MEM_* events which can only be measured on the
      bottom 4 counters. The constraints are also valid when HT is off
      because, then, there are only 4 generic counters and they are the
      bottom counters.
