Add a new 'three-p' precise level, that uses INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST as base. The basic mechanism of abusing the inverse cmask to get all cycles works the same as before. PREC_DIST is available on Sandy Bridge or later. It had some problems on Sandy Bridge, so we only use it on IvyBridge and later. I tested it on Broadwell and Skylake. PREC_DIST has special support for avoiding shadow effects, which can give better results compare to UOPS_RETIRED. The drawback is that PREC_DIST can only schedule on counter 1, but that is ok for cycle sampling, as there is normally no need to do multiple cycle sampling runs in parallel. It is still possible to run perf top in parallel, as that doesn't use precise mode. Also of course the multiplexing can still allow parallel operation. :pp stays with the previous event. Example: Sample a loop with 10 sqrt with old cycles:pp 0.14 │10: sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 <-------------- 9.13 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 11.58 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 11.51 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 6.27 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 10.38 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 12.20 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 12.74 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 5.40 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 10.14 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 10.51 │ ↑ jmp 10 We expect all 10 sqrt to get roughly the sample number of samples. But you can see that the instruction directly after the JMP is systematically underestimated in the result, due to sampling shadow effects. With the new PREC_DIST based sampling this problem is gone and all instructions show up roughly evenly: 9.51 │10: sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 11.74 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 11.84 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 6.05 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 10.46 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 12.25 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 12.18 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 5.26 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 10.13 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 10.43 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 0.16 │ ↑ jmp 10 Even with PREC_DIST there is still sampling skid and the result is not completely even, but systematic shadow effects are significantly reduced. The improvements are mainly expected to make a difference in high IPC code. With low IPC it should be similar.
