perf intel-pt: Add support for emulated ptwrite
ptwrite is an Intel x86 instruction that writes arbitrary values into an Intel PT trace. It is not supported on all hardware, so provide an alternative that makes use of TNT packets to convey the payload data. TNT packets encode Taken/Not-taken conditional branch information, so taking branches based on the payload value will encode the value into the TNT packet. Refer to the changes to the documentation file perf-intel-pt.txt in this patch for an example.

Emulated PTWRITE
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Later perf tools support a method to emulate the ptwrite instruction, which
|
||||
can be useful if hardware does not support the ptwrite instruction.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of using the ptwrite instruction, a function is used which produces
|
||||
a trace that encodes the payload data into TNT packets. Here is an example
|
||||
of the function:
|
||||
|
||||
#include <stdint.h>
|
||||
|
||||
void perf_emulate_ptwrite(uint64_t x)
|
||||
__attribute__((externally_visible, noipa, no_instrument_function, naked));
|
||||

||||

|

);
|

}
|

|

For example, a test program with the function above:
|
||||
|
||||
#include <stdio.h>
|
||||
#include <stdint.h>
|
||||
#include <stdlib.h>
|
||||
|

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
|
||||
{
|
||||
uint64_t x = 0;
|
||||
|
||||
if (argc > 1)
|
||||
x = strtoull(argv[1], NULL, 0);
|
||||
perf_emulate_ptwrite(x);
|
||||
return 0;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Can be compiled and traced:
|
||||
|
||||
$ gcc -Wall -Wextra -O3 -g -o eg_ptw eg_ptw.c
