Some uncore metrics don't work as expected. For example, on
cascadelakex:
root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL -a -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
1841092 unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
3680816 unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
1.001775055 seconds time elapsed
root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY -a -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
860649746 unc_m_pmm_rpq_occupancy.all
1840557 unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
12790627455 unc_m_clockticks
1.001773348 seconds time elapsed
No metrics 'UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL' or 'UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY' are
reported.
The issue is, the case of an alias expanding to mulitple events is not
supported, typically the uncore events. (see comments in
find_evsel_group()).
For UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL in above example, the expanded event group
is '{unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts,unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts}:W', but the actual
events passed to find_evsel_group are:
unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
For this multiple events case, it's not supported well.
This patch introduces a new field 'metric_leader' in struct evsel. The
first event is considered as a metric leader. For the rest of same
events, they point to the first event via it's metric_leader field in
struct evsel.
This design is for adding the counting results of all same events to the
first event in group (the metric_leader).
With this patch,
root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL -a -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
1842108 unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts # 337.2 MB/sec UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL
3682209 unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
1.001819706 seconds time elapsed
root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY -a -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
861970685 unc_m_pmm_rpq_occupancy.all # 219.4 ns UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY
1842772 unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
12790196356 unc_m_clockticks
1.001749103 seconds time elapsed
Now we can see the correct metrics 'UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL' and
'UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY'.

Some metrics define the scale unit, such as
{
"BriefDescription": "Intel Optane DC persistent memory read latency (ns). Derived from unc_m_pmm_rpq_occupancy.all",
"Counter": "0,1,2,3",
"EventCode": "0xE0",
"EventName": "UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY",
"MetricExpr": "UNC_M_PMM_RPQ_OCCUPANCY.ALL / UNC_M_PMM_RPQ_INSERTS / UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS",
"MetricName": "UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY",
"PerPkg": "1",
"ScaleUnit": "6000000000ns",
"UMask": "0x1",
"Unit": "iMC"
},
For above example, the ratio should be,
ratio = (UNC_M_PMM_RPQ_OCCUPANCY.ALL / UNC_M_PMM_RPQ_INSERTS / UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS) * 6000000000
But in current code, the ratio is not scaled ( * 6000000000)
With this patch, the ratio is scaled and the unit (ns) is printed.
For example,
# 219.4 ns UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY

In places where the equivalent was already being done, i.e.:
free(a);
a = NULL;
And in placs where struct members are being freed so that if we have
some erroneous reference to its struct, then accesses to freed members
will result in segfaults, which we can detect faster than use after free
to areas that may still have something seemingly valid.

The Memory_BW metric generates groups including duration_time, which
maps to a software event.
For some reason this makes the group always not count.
Always put duration_time outside a group when generating metrics. It's
always the same time, so no need to group it.

The metric group code tries to find a group it added earlier in the
evlist. Fix the lookup to handle groups with partially overlaps
correctly. When a sub string match fails and we reset the match, we have
to compare the first element again.
I also renamed the find_evsel function to find_evsel_group to make its
purpose clearer.
With the earlier changes this fixes:

The 'perf stat' command line flag -T to display transaction counters is
currently supported for x86 only.
Add support for s390. It is based on the metrics flag -M transaction
using the architecture dependent JSON files. This requires a metric
named "transaction" in the JSON files for the platform.
Introduce a new function metricgroup__has_metric() to check for the
existence of a metric_name transaction.
As suggested by Andi Kleen, this is the new approach to support
transactions counters. Other architectures will follow.

Add support for computing 'perf stat' style metrics in 'perf script'.
When using leader sampling we can get metrics for each sampling period
by computing formulas over the values of the different group members.
This allows things like fine grained IPC tracking through sampling, much
more fine grained than with 'perf stat'.
The metric is still averaged over the sampling period, it is not just
for the sampling point.
This patch adds a new metric output field for 'perf script' that uses
the existing 'perf stat' metrics infrastructure to compute any metrics
supported by 'perf stat'.
For example to sample IPC:
$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles,instructions}:S' -a sleep 1
$ perf script -F metric,ip,sym,time,cpu,comm

previous sample current sample
So EventA = 4 and EventB = 3 at the sample point
I generate a metric, let's say EventA / EventB. It applies to the whole period.
But the metric is over a longer time which does not have the same behavior. For
example the gap above doesn't have any events, while they are clustered at the
beginning and end of the sample period.
But we're summing everything together. The metric doesn't know that the gap is
different than the busy period.
That's what I'm trying to express with averaging.

The -M metric group parser threw away the events of earlier groups when
multiple groups were specified. Fix this here by not overwriting the
string incorrectly.
Now this works correctly:
% perf stat -M Summary,SMT --metric-only -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

while previously it would only show the SMT metrics.

When a PMU is missing print a better error message mentioning
the missing PMU.
% mkdir empty
% mount --bind empty /sys/devices/msr
% perf stat -M Summary true
event syntax error: '{inst_retired.any,cycles}:W,{cpu_clk_unhalted.thread}:W,{inst_retired.any}:W,{cpu_clk_unhalted.ref_tsc,msr/tsc/}:W,{fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar..'
\___ Cannot find PMU `msr'. Missing kernel support?
It still cannot find the right column for aliases, but it's already a vast improvement.

Add code to perf list to print metric groups, and metrics
that don't have an event name. The metricgroup code collects
the eventgroups and events into a rblist, and then prints
them according to the configured filters.
The metricgroups are printed by default, but can be
limited by perf list metric or perf list metricgroup
% perf list metricgroup
..
Metric Groups:
DSB:
DSB_Coverage
[Fraction of Uops delivered by the DSB (aka Decoded Icache; or Uop Cache)]
FLOPS:
GFLOPs
[Giga Floating Point Operations Per Second]
Frontend:
IFetch_Line_Utilization
[Rough Estimation of fraction of fetched lines bytes that were likely consumed by program instructions]
Frontend_Bandwidth:
DSB_Coverage
[Fraction of Uops delivered by the DSB (aka Decoded Icache; or Uop Cache)]
Memory_BW:
MLP
[Memory-Level-Parallelism (average number of L1 miss demand load when there is at least 1 such miss)]
v2: Check return value of asprintf to fix warning on FC26
Fix key in lookup/addition for the groups list

Add generic support for standalone metrics specified in JSON files to
perf stat. A metric is a formula that uses multiple events to compute a
higher level result (e.g. IPC).
Previously metrics were always tied to an event and automatically
enabled with that event. But now change it that we can have standalone
metrics. They are in the same JSON data structure as events, but don't
have an event name.
We also allow to organize the metrics in metric groups, which allows a
short cut to select several related metrics at once.
Add a new -M / --metrics option to perf stat that adds the metrics or
metric groups specified.
Add the core code to manage and parse the metric groups. They are
collected from the JSON data structures into a separate rblist. When
computing shadow values look for metrics in that list. Then they are
computed using the existing saved values infrastructure in stat-shadow.c
The actual JSON metrics are in a separate pull request.
