Rob Herring 47d01e7b99 libperf: Add support for user space counter access ... x86 and arm64 can both support direct access of event counters in userspace. The access sequence is less than trivial and currently exists in perf test code (tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/rdpmc.c) with copies in projects such as PAPI and libpfm4. In order to support userspace access, an event must be mmapped first with perf_evsel__mmap(). Then subsequent calls to perf_evsel__read() will use the fast path (assuming the arch supports it). Committer notes: Added a '__maybe_unused' attribute to the read_perf_counter() argument to fix the build on arches other than x86_64 and arm. Committer testing: Building and running the libperf tests in verbose mode (V=1) now shows those "loop = N, count = N" extra lines, testing user space counter access. # make V=1 -C tools/lib/perf tests make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/perf' make -f /home/acme/git/perf/tools/build/Makefile.build dir=. obj=libperf make -C /home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/api/ O= libapi.a make -f /home/acme/git/perf/tools/build/Makefile.build dir=./fd obj=libapi make -f /home/acme/git/perf/tools/build/Makefile.build dir=./fs obj=libapi make -C tests gcc -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/perf/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib -g -Wall -o test-cpumap-a test-cpumap.c ../libperf.a /home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/api/libapi.a gcc -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/perf/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib -g -Wall -o test-threadmap-a test-threadmap.c ../libperf.a /home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/api/libapi.a gcc -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/perf/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib -g -Wall -o test-evlist-a test-evlist.c ../libperf.a /home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/api/libapi.a gcc -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/perf/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib -g -Wall -o test-evsel-a test-evsel.c ../libperf.a /home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/api/libapi.a gcc -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/perf/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib -g -Wall -L.. -o test-cpumap-so test-cpumap.c /home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/api/libapi.a -lperf gcc -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/perf/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib -g -Wall -L.. -o test-threadmap-so test-threadmap.c /home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/api/libapi.a -lperf gcc -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/perf/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib -g -Wall -L.. -o test-evlist-so test-evlist.c /home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/api/libapi.a -lperf gcc -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/perf/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/include -I/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib -g -Wall -L.. -o test-evsel-so test-evsel.c /home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/api/libapi.a -lperf make -C tests run running static: - running test-cpumap.c...OK - running test-threadmap.c...OK - running test-evlist.c...OK - running test-evsel.c... loop = 65536, count = 333926 loop = 131072, count = 655781 loop = 262144, count = 1311141 loop = 524288, count = 2630126 loop = 1048576, count = 5256955 loop = 65536, count = 524594 loop = 131072, count = 1058916 loop = 262144, count = 2097458 loop = 524288, count = 4205429 loop = 1048576, count = 8406606 OK running dynamic: - running test-cpumap.c...OK - running test-threadmap.c...OK - running test-evlist.c...OK - running test-evsel.c... loop = 65536, count = 328102 loop = 131072, count = 655782 loop = 262144, count = 1317494 loop = 524288, count = 2627851 loop = 1048576, count = 5255187 loop = 65536, count = 524601 loop = 131072, count = 1048923 loop = 262144, count = 2107917 loop = 524288, count = 4194606 loop = 1048576, count = 8409322 OK make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/lib/perf' # Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Itaru Kitayama <itaru.kitayama@gmail.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210414155412.3697605-4-robh@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>		2021-04-20 08:10:45 -03:00
