4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 613a41b0d16e617f46776a93b975a1eeea96417c ]
On s390 command perf top fails [root@s35lp76 perf] # ./perf top -F100000 --stdio Error: cycles: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat' [root@s35lp76 perf] #
Using event -e rb0000 works as designed. Event rb0000 is the event number of the sampling facility for basic sampling.
During system start up the following PMUs are installed in the kernel's PMU list (from head to tail): cpum_cf --> s390 PMU counter facility device driver cpum_sf --> s390 PMU sampling facility device driver uprobe kprobe tracepoint task_clock cpu_clock
Perf top executes following functions and calls perf_event_open(2) system call with different parameters many times:
cmd_top --> __cmd_top --> perf_evlist__add_default --> __perf_evlist__add_default --> perf_evlist__new_cycles (creates event type:0 (HW) config 0 (CPU_CYCLES) --> perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip Uses perf_event_open(2) to detect correct precise_ip level. Fails 3 times on s390 which is ok.
Then functions cmd_top --> __cmd_top --> perf_top__start_counters -->perf_evlist__config --> perf_can_comm_exec --> perf_probe_api This functions test support for the following events: "cycles:u", "instructions:u", "cpu-clock:u" using --> perf_do_probe_api --> perf_event_open_cloexec Test the close on exec flag support with perf_event_open(2). perf_do_probe_api returns true if the event is supported. The function returns true because event cpu-clock is supported by the PMU cpu_clock. This is achieved by many calls to perf_event_open(2).
Function perf_top__start_counters now calls perf_evsel__open() for every event, which is the default event cpu_cycles (config:0) and type HARDWARE (type:0) which a predfined frequence of 4000.
Given the above order of the PMU list, the PMU cpum_cf gets called first and returns 0, which indicates support for this sampling. The event is fully allocated in the function perf_event_open (file kernel/event/core.c near line 10521 and the following check fails:
event = perf_event_alloc(&attr, cpu, task, group_leader, NULL, NULL, NULL, cgroup_fd); if (IS_ERR(event)) { err = PTR_ERR(event); goto err_cred; }
if (is_sampling_event(event)) { if (event->pmu->capabilities & PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_INTERRUPT) { err = -EOPNOTSUPP; goto err_alloc; } }
The check for the interrupt capabilities fails and the system call perf_event_open() returns -EOPNOTSUPP (-95).
Add a check to return -ENODEV when sampling is requested in PMU cpum_cf. This allows common kernel code in the perf_event_open() system call to test the next PMU in above list.
