perf evsel: Fix probing of precise_ip level for default cycles event
Since commit18e7a45af9("perf/x86: Reject non sampling events with precise_ip") returns -EINVAL for sys_perf_event_open() with an attribute with (attr.precise_ip > 0 && attr.sample_period == 0), just like is done in the routine used to probe the max precise level when no events were passed to 'perf record' or 'perf top', i.e.: perf_evsel__new_cycles() perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip() The x86 code, in x86_pmu_hw_config(), which is called all the way from sys_perf_event_open() did, starting with the aforementioned commit: /* There's no sense in having PEBS for non sampling events: */ if (!is_sampling_event(event)) return -EINVAL; Which makes it fail for cycles:ppp, cycles:pp and cycles:p, always using just the non precise cycles variant. To make sure that this is the case, I tested it, before this patch, with: # perf probe -L x86_pmu_hw_config <x86_pmu_hw_config@/home/acme/git/linux/arch/x86/events/core.c:0> 0 int x86_pmu_hw_config(struct perf_event *event) 1 { 2 if (event->attr.precise_ip) { <SNIP> 17 if (event->attr.precise_ip > precise) 18 return -EOPNOTSUPP; /* There's no sense in having PEBS for non sampling events: */ 21 if (!is_sampling_event(event)) 22 return -EINVAL; } <SNIP> # perf probe x86_pmu_hw_config:22 Added new events: probe:x86_pmu_hw_config (on x86_pmu_hw_config:22) probe:x86_pmu_hw_config_1 (on x86_pmu_hw_config:22) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:x86_pmu_hw_config_1 -aR sleep 1 # perf trace -e perf_event_open,probe:x86_pmu_hwconfig*/max-stack=16/ perf record usleep 1 0.000 ( 0.015 ms): perf/4150 perf_event_open(attr_uptr: 0x7ffebc8ba110, cpu: -1, group_fd: -1 ) ... 0.015 ( ): probe:x86_pmu_hw_config:(ffffffff9c0065e1)) x86_pmu_hw_config ([kernel.kallsyms]) hsw_hw_config ([kernel.kallsyms]) x86_pmu_event_init ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf_try_init_event ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf_event_alloc ([kernel.kallsyms]) SYSC_perf_event_open ([kernel.kallsyms]) sys_perf_event_open ([kernel.kallsyms]) do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) return_from_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) syscall (/usr/lib64/libc-2.24.so) perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip (/home/acme/bin/perf) perf_evsel__new_cycles (/home/acme/bin/perf) perf_evlist__add_default (/home/acme/bin/perf) cmd_record (/home/acme/bin/perf) run_builtin (/home/acme/bin/perf) handle_internal_command (/home/acme/bin/perf) 0.000 ( 0.021 ms): perf/4150 ...

And here is the text from a report and alternative proposed patch by Thomas-Mich Richter: --- On s390 the counter and sampling facility do not support a precise IP skid level and sometimes returns EOPNOTSUPP when structure member precise_ip in struct perf_event_attr is not set to zero. On s390 commnd 'perf record -- true' fails with error EOPNOTSUPP. This happens only when no events are specified on command line. The functions called are ... --> perf_evlist__add_default --> perf_evsel__new_cycles --> perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip The last function determines the value of structure member precise_ip by invoking the perf_event_open() system call and checking the return code. The first successful open is the value for precise_ip. However the value is determined without setting member sample_period and indicates no sampling. On s390 the counter facility and sampling facility are different. The above procedure determines a precise_ip value of 3 using the counter facility. Later it uses the sampling facility with a value of 3 and fails with EOPNOTSUPP. --- v2: Older compilers (e.g. gcc 4.4.7) don't support referencing members of unnamed union members in the container struct initialization, so move from: struct perf_event_attr attr = { ... .sample_period = 1, }; to right after it as: struct perf_event_attr attr = { ... }; attr.sample_period = 1; v3: We need to reset .sample_period to 0 to let the users of perf_evsel__new_cycles() to properly setup attr.sample_period or attr.sample_freq.
