| |
This series enables perf branch stack sampling support on arm64 platform via a new arch feature called Branch Record Buffer Extension (BRBE). All relevant register definitions could be accessed here.
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0601/2021-12/AArch64-Registers
This series applies on v5.19-rc2 after the BRBE related perf ABI changes series (V6) that was posted earlier.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220610035101.424112-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
Following issues remain inconclusive
- Jame's concerns regarding permission inadequacy related to perfmon_capable() - Jame's concerns regarding using perf_event_paranoid along with perfmon_capable() - Rob's concerns regarding the series structure, arm_pmu callbacks based framework
Changes in V1:
- Added CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS wrapper for all branch sample filter helpers - Process new perf branch types via PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI
Changes in RFC V2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220412115455.293119-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
- Added branch_sample_priv() while consolidating other branch sample filter helpers - Changed all SYS_BRBXXXN_EL1 register definition encodings per Marc - Changed the BRBE driver as per proposed BRBE related perf ABI changes (V5) - Added documentation for struct arm_pmu changes, updated commit message - Updated commit message for BRBE detection infrastructure patch - PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_KERNEL gets checked during arm event init (outside the driver) - Branch privilege state capture mechanism has now moved inside the driver
