This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain adventages when application runs on
isolated cores with nohz_full kernel parameter.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
(nohz_full) i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use
standard perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

The following sections describe methods of profiling DPDK applications on
different architectures.
+Performance counter based profiling
+-----------------------------------
+
+Majority of architectures support some sort hardware measurement unit which provides a set of
+programmable counters that monitor specific events. There are different tools which can gather
+that information, perf being an example here. Though in some scenarios, eg. when CPU cores are
+isolated (nohz_full) and run dedicated tasks, using perf is less than ideal. In such cases one can
+read specific events directly from application via ``rte_pmu_read()``.

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis latern on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take adventage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance measurement unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::

+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.

+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain adventages when application runs on
isolated cores with nohz_full kernel parameter.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra
Tomasz Duszynski (4):
eal: add generic support for reading PMU events

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
(nohz_full) i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use
standard perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

The following sections describe methods of profiling DPDK applications on
different architectures.
+Performance counter based profiling
+-----------------------------------
+
+Majority of architectures support some sort hardware measurement unit which provides a set of
+programmable counters that monitor specific events. There are different tools which can gather
+that information, perf being an example here. Though in some scenarios, eg. when CPU cores are
+isolated (nohz_full) and run dedicated tasks, using perf is less than ideal. In such cases one can

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis latern on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take adventage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

+--------------
+
+Performance measurement unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'

+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain adventages when application runs on
isolated cores with nohz_full kernel parameter.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
(nohz_full) i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use
standard perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis latern on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take adventage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

+--------------
+
+Performance measurement unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware

+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression

+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of

Hi Thomasz,
I am very interested in this patch series for fast path profiling purposes. (Not using EAL trace, but our proprietary profiler.)
However, it seems that rte_pmu_read() is quite longwinded, compared to rte_pmu_pmc_read().
But perhaps I am just worrying too much, so I will ask: What is the performance cost of using rte_pmu_read() - compared to rte_pmu_pmc_read() - in the fast path?
If there is a non-negligible difference, could you please provide an example of how to configure PMU events and use rte_pmu_pmc_read() in an application?
I would primarily be interested in data cache misses and branch mispredictions. But feel free to make your own choices for the example.

There may be some problems with the implementation of eal_pmu_fini(),
but I'm not sure.
I checked some test reports for this series. It seems that the test case
of `debug_autotest` in
the DPDK unit test has an issue when the child process in this test case
calls the function of rte_exit().
The call chain is as follows:
test_debug() -> test_exit() -> test_exit_val() -> rte_exit() ->
rte_eal_cleanup() -> eal_pmu_fini().
The issue may be related to memory free from the error message as follows:
test_exit_valEAL: Error: Invalid memory
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
Cause: test_exit_valEAL: Error: Invalid memory
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 2
Cause: test_exit_valEAL: Error: Invalid memory
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 255
Cause: test_exit_valEAL: Error: Invalid memory
EAL: Error - exiting with code: -1
Cause: test_exit_valEAL: Error: Invalid memory
The above error message will disappear when I comment out the calling to
the eal_pmu_fini() in
the rte_eal_cleanup().

Thanks for pointing this out. This was apparently happening due to freeing same hugepage memory in forked process multiple times.

We need some bit of extra logic to set thigs up before performing reading actual counter but in reality
cycles are mostly consumed by rte_pmu_pmc_read(). This obviously differs among platforms so if you
want precise measurements you need to get your hands dirty.
That said, below are results coming from dpdk-test after running trace_perf_autotest - just to give you some idea.

Raw events are not supported right now which means you don't have fine control over all events.
You can use only events from CPU PMU (/sys/bus/event_source/devices/<PMU>/events).

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain adventages when application runs on
isolated cores with nohz_full kernel parameter.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build

- fix problems reported by test build infra

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
(nohz_full) i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use
standard perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis latern on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take adventage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

``RTE_TRACE_POINT_FP`` is compiled out by default and it can be enabled using
the ``enable_trace_fp`` option for meson build.
+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance measurement unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'
+
+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ...
+ rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(0);
+ rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(1);

+PMU tracing support must be explicitly enabled using the ``enable_trace_fp``
+option for meson build.

There seems to be a lot of indirection involved here. Why are these arrays not statically sized, instead of dynamically allocated?
Also, what is the reason for hiding the type struct perf_event_mmap_page **mmap_pages opaque by using void **mmap_pages instead?

Why is the group not enabled in the setup function, rte_pmu_add_event(), instead of here, in the hot path?

Using fixed size arrays instead of multiple indirections via pointers is faster. It could be:
return rte_pmu_read_userpage((struct perf_event_mmap_page *)rte_pmu.group[lcore_id].mmap_pages[index]);
With our without suggested performance improvements...

Different architectures/pmus impose limits on number of simultaneously enabled counters. So in order
relief the pain of thinking about it and adding macros for each and every arch I decided to allocate
the number user wants dynamically. Also assumption holds that user knows about tradeoffs of using
too many counters hence will not enable too many events at once.

I think, that part doing mmap/munmap was written first hence void ** was chosen in the first place.

No strong opinions here since this is a matter of personal preference. Can be removed

When this is executed for the very first time then cpu will have obviously more work to do
but afterwards setup path is not taken hence much less cpu cycles are required.
Setup is executed by main lcore solely, before lcores are executed hence some info passed to
SYS_perf_event_open ioctl() is missing, pid (via rte_gettid()) being an example here.

The DPDK convention is to use fixed size arrays (with a maximum size, e.g. RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS) in the fast path, for performance reasons.
Please use fixed size arrays instead of dynamically allocated arrays.

Please update it, so the actual type is reflected here.

The event_list is used in slow path only, so it can remain a list - i.e. no change requested here. :-)

Why "&& index"? The way I read [man perf_event_open], index 0 is perfectly valid.

The index type can be changed from int to uint32_t. This also eliminates the "(index < 0" part of the comparison further below in this function.

OK. Thank you for the explanation. Since impossible at setup, it has to be done at runtime.
@Mattias: Another good example of something that would belong in per-thread constructors, as my suggested feature creep in [1].

I just realized that this initialization is per-lcore (not per thread), so you can use rte_lcore_callback_register() to register a per-lcore initialization function, and move rte_pmu_enable_group(lcore_id) there.

I'm guessing this should be a load-acquire instead. Less heavy-handed
than a compiler barrier on TSO CPUs, and works on weakly ordered systems
as well (unlike the compiler barrier).
This looks like an open-coded sequence lock, so take a look in
rte_seqcount.h for inspiration.

You can't use rte_lcore_callback_register()... it doesn't provide per-lcore thread constructors/destructors the way I thought. :-(

In scenario, which is pretty unlikely especially because sysfs files have sane names, where
'path' cannot accommodate the whole string there will be NUL implicitly appended by snprintf.
Hence fopen will fail. Not sure how this may go wrong.

Main lcore was omitted because it's pretty uncommon for it to do a heavy-lifting so
usefulness of reading counters is questionable. It can be added for completeness
though.
Do you have any specific use case on your mind?

I do agree that from maintenance angle fixed arrays are much more convenient
but when optimization kicks in then that statement does not necessarily
hold true anymore.
For example, in this case performance dropped by ~0.3% which is insignificant imo. So
given simpler code, next patchset will use fixed arrays.

Valid index starts at 1. 0 means that either hw counter is stopped or isn't active. Maybe this is not
initially clear from man but there's example later on how to get actual number.

I fail to understand how pointer chasing can perform better than obtaining an address by multiplying by a constant. Modern CPUs work in mysterious ways, and you obviously tested this, so I believe your test results. But in theory, pointer chasing touches more cache lines, and should perform worse in a loaded system where pointers in the chain have been evicted from the cache.
Anyway, you agreed to use fixed arrays, so I am happy. :-)

OK. Thanks for the reference.
Please add a comment about the special meaning of index 0 in the code.

I haven't reviewed the output from this, so I'll take your word for it. I suggested the unlikely() because I previously tested some very simple code, and it optimized for taking the "if":
void testb(bool b)
{
if (!b)
exit(1);
exit(99);
}
I guess I should experiment with more realistic code, and update my optimization notes!
You could add the unlikely() for readability purposes. ;-)

I think this may be too simple to draw far-reaching conclusions from it. Compiler will make the
fall-through path more likely. If I recall Intel Optimization Reference Manual has some more
info on this.
Lets take a different example.
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int *p;
p = malloc(sizeof(*p));
if (!p)
return 1;
*p = atoi(argv[1]);
if (*p < 0)
return 2;
free(p);
return 0;
}
If compiled with -O3 and disassembled I got below.
00000000000010a0 <main>:

Looking at both 10ba and 10da suggests that code was laid out in a way that jumping is frowned upon. Also
potentially lest frequently executed code (at 10ed) is pushed further down the memory hence optimizing cache line usage.
That said, each and every scenario needs analysis on its own.

IIRC, the Intel Optimization Reference Manual discusses branch optimization for assembler, not C.

In my notes, I have (ptr == NULL) marked as considered unlikely, but (int == 0) marked as considered likely. Since group->enabled is bool, I guessed the compiler would treat it like int and consider (!group->enabled) as likely.
Like in your example here, I also have (int < 0) marked as considered unlikely.

Agree. Theory is good, validation is better. ;-)

I think we are both in agreement about the intentions here, so I won't hold you back with further academic discussions at this point. I might resume the discussion with your next patch version, though. ;-)

Looks like using '0' instead of rte_gettid() takes the same effect. A small optimization.

Better to check if rte_pmu is available.

Set rte_pmu to NULL to prevent unintentional use?

rte_pmu can be unavailable if init fails. Better to check before accessing.

Next series will take use of global pmu instance so this will no longer be

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain adventages when application runs on
isolated cores with nohz_full kernel parameter.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v5:
- address review comments
- fix sign extension while reading pmu on x86
- fix regex mentioned in doc
- various minor changes/improvements here and there
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra
Tomasz Duszynski (4):
eal: add generic support for reading PMU events
eal/arm: support reading ARM PMU events in runtime
eal/x86: support reading Intel PMU events in runtime
eal: add PMU support to tracing library

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
(nohz_full) i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use
standard perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

The following sections describe methods of profiling DPDK applications on
different architectures.
+Performance counter based profiling
+-----------------------------------
+
+Majority of architectures support some sort hardware measurement unit which provides a set of
+programmable counters that monitor specific events. There are different tools which can gather
+that information, perf being an example here. Though in some scenarios, eg. when CPU cores are
+isolated (nohz_full) and run dedicated tasks, using perf is less than ideal. In such cases one can

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples

storing data in a CTF format lets take adventage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance measurement unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='.*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'
+
+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``

hi,
don't interpret this as an objection to the functionality but this looks
like a clear example of something that doesn't belong in the EAL. has
there been a discussion as to whether or not this should be in a
separate library?
a basic test is whether or not an implementation exists or can be
reasonably provided for all platforms and that isn't strictly evident
here. red flag is to see yet more code being added conditionally
compiled for a single platform.
Morten, Bruce comments?
thanks

If SYS_perf_event_open() must be called from the worker thread itself, then lcore_id must not be passed as a parameter to do_perf_event_open(). Otherwise, I would expect to be able to call do_perf_event_open() from the main thread and pass any lcore_id of a worker thread.
This comment applies to all functions that must be called from the worker thread itself. It also applies to the functions that call such functions.

Move the "enabled" field up, making it the first field in this structure. This might reduce the number of instructions required to check (!group->enabled) in rte_pmu_read().
Also, each instance of the structure is used individually per lcore, so the structure should be cache line aligned to avoid unnecessarily crossing cache lines.
I.e.:
struct rte_pmu_event_group {
bool enabled; /**< true if group was enabled on particular lcore */
int fds[MAX_NUM_GROUP_EVENTS]; /**< array of event descriptors */
struct perf_event_mmap_page *mmap_pages[MAX_NUM_GROUP_EVENTS]; /**< array of user pages */

IIRC, there has been no such discussion.
Although I agree that this doesn't belong in EAL, I would point to the trace library as a reference for allowing it into the EAL.
For the records, I also oppose to the trace library being part of the EAL.
On the other hand, it would be interesting to determine if it is *impossible* adding this functionality as any other normal DPDK library, i.e. outside of the EAL, or if there is an unavoidable tie-in to the EAL.
@Tomasz, if this is impossible, please describe the unavoidable tie-in to the EAL. No need for a long report, just a few words. You (and this functionality) shouldn't suffer from our long term ambition to move stuff out of the EAL.

Another basic test: Can DPDK applications run without it? If they can, an Environment Abstraction Layer does not need to have it, and thus it does not need to be part of the EAL.

No, I don't recall anybody having any concerns about the code placement. Rationale behind
making this part of eal was based on the fact that tracing itself is a part of eal and
since this was meant to be extension to tracing, code placement decision came out naturally.
During development phase idea evolved a bit and what initially was supposed to be solely yet
another tracepoint become generic API to read pmu and tracepoint based on that. Which means
both can be used independently.
That said, since this code has both platform agnostic and platform specific parts this can either be split into:
1. library + eal platform code
2. all under eal
Either approach seems legit. Thoughts?

Even libs are not entirely pristine and have platform specific ifdefs lurking so not sure where
this red flag is coming from.

You can read about rationale here https://lore.kernel.org/dpdk-dev/DM4PR18MB436872EBC5922084C5DAFC1DD2FC9@DM4PR18MB4368.namprd18.prod.outlook.com/#t
As for the NO-NO there isn't any in fact. There are some tradeoffs though.
For example, seems eal cannot depend on other libs so if someone needs to
finetune some part of EAL for whatever reason, then relevant part needs to
modified each and every time. I.e specific includes and trcepoints need to be added each time.
On the other hand, if this is coupled with eal then adding tracepoints to some parts
will be easier. Or they can just be added to specific points and live there.
No strong opinions besides that. I'd like to know what others think.

Well, EAL can depend on other libs, but then those libs cannot in turn
directly depend upon DPDK. This is where breaking out first some of the
smaller widely used parts of DPDK e.g. logging, would be good, as it would
then in turn allow other, potentially bigger parts of EAL to be taken out.
See [1] for a rough first attempt at this, which allows simlification of
telemetry as it no longer needs a "dependency injection" style to have
logging. Moving out logging would also allow logging from kvargs library
too - another lib which is used by EAL rather than depending on it.
Similarly for tracing functionality - if that were pulled out of EAL, it
could be used by telemetry, kvargs and any other parts removed from EAL.

Lcore_id is being passed around so that we don't need to call rte_lcore_id() each and every time.

This will be called once and no this will not produce more instructions. Why should it?
In both cases compiler will need to load data at some offset and archs do have instructions for that.

Yes, this can be aligned. While at it, I'd be more inclined to move mmap_pages up instead of enable.

Please take a look at the rte_lcore_id() implementation. :-)
Regardless, my argument still stands: If a function cannot be called with the lcore_id parameter set to any valid lcore id, it should not be a parameter to the function.

It seems I was not clearly describing my intention here here. rte_pmu_read() a hot function, where the comparison "if (!group->enabled)" itself will be executed many times.

Yes, the instructions are: address = BASE + sizeof(struct rte_pmu_event_group) * lcore_id + offsetof(struct rte_pmu_event, enabled).
I meant you could avoid the extra instructions stemming from the addition: "+ offsetof()". But you are right... Both BASE and offsetof(struct rte_pmu_event, enabled) are known in advance, and can be merged at compile time to avoid the addition.

Yes, moving up mmap_pages is better.

OK. It makes the rte_pmu_read() source code slightly shorter, but probably has zero effect on the generated code. No strong preference - feel free to follow your personal preference on this.

i think red flag was probably the wrong term to use sorry for that.
rather i should say it is an indicator that the api probably doesn't
belong in the eal.
fundamentally the purpose of the abstraction library is to relieve the
application from having to do conditional compilation and/or execution for
the subject apis coming from eal. including and exporting apis that work
for only one platform is in direct contradiction.
please explore adding this as a separate library, it is understood that
there are tradeoffs involved.
thanks!

naming is always so hard and i'm definitely not authoritative.
it seems like lib/pmu would be the least churn against your existing
patch series, here are some other suggestions that might work.
lib/pmu (measuring unit)
lib/pmc (measuring counters)
lib/pcq (counter query)
lib/pmq (measuring query)

+1 to lib/pmu
Less work, as Tyler already mentioned. Furthermore:
Both Intel and ARM use the term Performance Monitoring Unit (abbreviated PMU).
Microsoft does too [1].
[1]: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/test/wpt/recording-pmu-events
RISC-V uses the term Hardware Performance Monitor (abbreviated HPM).
I haven't checked other CPU vendors.

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain adventages when application runs on
isolated cores with nohz_full kernel parameter.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v6:
- move codebase to the separate library
- address review comments
v5:
- address review comments
- fix sign extension while reading pmu on x86
- fix regex mentioned in doc
- various minor changes/improvements here and there
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra
Tomasz Duszynski (4):
lib: add generic support for reading PMU events
pmu: support reading ARM PMU events in runtime
pmu: support reading Intel x86_64 PMU events in runtime
eal: add PMU support to tracing library

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
(nohz_full) i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use
standard perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis latern on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take adventage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance measurement unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='.*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'
+
+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.

If you insist on passing lcore_id around as a function parameter, the function description must mention that the lcore_id parameter must be set to rte_lcore_id() for the functions where this is a requirement, including all functions that use those functions.
Alternatively, follow my previous suggestion: Omit the lcore_id function parameter, and use rte_lcore_id() instead.

traditionally we don't conditionally include tests at the meson.build
level, instead we run all tests and have them skip when executed for
unsupported exec environments.
you can take a look at test_eventdev.c as an example for a test that is
skipped on windows, i'm sure it could be adapted to skip on freebsd if
you aren't supporting it.

Platform bus is a bus under Linux which manages devices that do not have
any discovery-mechanism built in. Linux learns about platform devices
directly from device-tree during boot-up phase.
Afterwards if userspace wants to use some particular device driver being
usually a mixture of vdev/rawdev gets developed.
In order to simplify that introduce a DPDK platform bus which provides
auto-probe experience and separates a bus logic from the driver itself.
Now only devices which are backed-by vfio-platform kernel driver
are supported, though other options may be added if necessary.

Reading strings from sysfs files is a re-occurring pattern
hence add helper for doing that.

From: Tomasz Duszynski @ 2023-01-25 10:33 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: dev, Thomas Monjalon, Tomasz Duszynski; +Cc: jerinj, stephen, chenbo.xia
Platform bus is a software bus under Linux that manages devices which
generally do not have built-in discovery mechanisms. Linux normally
learns about platform devices directly from device-tree during
boot-up phase.
Up to this point, whenever some userspace app needed control over
platform device or a range of thereof some sort of driver being
a mixture of vdev/rawdev was required.
In order to simplify this task, provide an auto-probe
experience and separate bus logic from the driver itself,
add platform bus support.
Currently devices backed up by vfio-platform kernel driver
are supported.

In general it would be to nice to clean sysfs parsing in libs and drivers,
so they all use some functions from EAL.

maybe there should be a general utility library for dealing with sysfs
separate from the core EAL that drivers / platform specific libs can
share?

reading/writing of sysfs files is scattered around the codebase and this has been piling up
with each and and every new pmd/lib that requires it. So generally a few simple utility functions
in one place may be a good idea.
Would following make sense?
rte_sysfs_write_int()
rte_sysfs_write_string()
rte_sysfs_read_int()
rte_sysfs_read_string()
Also seems that pattern where file gets opened once and keeps being written to until closed is
reoccurring as well. So there might be some utils for that as well. Thoughts?

That's generally true. Here I wanted to avoid tree-wide changes caused by unrelated work i.e a new bus
and do a cleanup, i.e use this read string util where applicable, later on.

Right, this looks better. Thanks for pointing this out.

Not sure why are you insisting so much on removing that rte_lcore_id(). Yes that macro evaluates
to integer but if you don't think about internals this resembles a function call.
Then natural pattern is to call it once and reuse results if possible. Passing lcore_id around
implies that calls are per l-core, why would that confuse anyone reading that code?
Besides, all functions taking it are internal stuff hence you cannot call it elsewhere.

Perhaps I'm stating this wrong, so let me try to rephrase:
As I understand it, some of the setup functions must be called from the EAL thread that executes that function - due to some syscall (SYS_perf_event_open) needing to be called from the thread itself.
Those functions should not take an lcore_id parameter. Otherwise, I would expect to be able to call those functions from e.g. the main thread and pass the lcore_id of any EAL thread as a parameter, which you at the bottom of this email [1] explained is not possible.

I agree with this argument. And for that reason, passing lcore_id around could be relevant.
I only wanted to bring your attention to the low cost of fetching it inside the functions, as an alternative to passing it as an argument.

Yes, and I would usually agree to using this pattern.

This is where I disagree: Passing lcore_id as a parameter to a function does NOT imply that the function is running on that lcore!
E.g rte_mempool_default_cache(struct rte_mempool *mp, unsigned lcore_id) [2] takes lcore_id as a parameter, and does not assume that lcore_id==rte_lcore_id().

OK. I agree that this reduces the risk of incorrect use.
Generally, I think that internal functions should be documented too. Not to the full extent, like public functions, but some documentation is nice.
And if there are special requirements to a function parameter, it should be documented with that function. Requiring that the lcore_id parameter must be == rte_lcore_id() is certainly a special requirement.
It might just be me worrying too much, so... If nobody else complains about this, I can live with it as is. Assuming that none of the public functions have this special requirement (either directly or indirectly, by calling functions with the special requirement).

I would tend to agree with you Morten. If the lcore_id parameter to the
function must be rte_lcore_id(), then I think it's error prone to have that
as an explicit parameter, and that the function should always get the core
id itself.
Other possible complication is - how does this work with threads that are
not pinned to a particular physical core? Do things work as expected in
that case?

Oh, now I got your point!
Okay then, if this is going to cause confusion because of misleading

It's assumed that once set of counters is enabled on particular l-core then this thread shouldn't be migrating
back and for the obvious reasons.
But, once scheduled elsewhere all should still work as expected.

i'm an advocate of smaller libraries that tackle a subject area and do
so well. even better if they can be unit tested without dragging in a
lot of dependencies or bootstrapping other unrelated subsystems.
it is also in alignment with trying to de-bloat eal which i think there
is increasing interest in.

i guess the answer here is whatever makes a simple intuitive api for
sysfs access, i don't contribute much on the linux side to dpdk so can't
speak to what makes a good api here, but i imagine others can in review.

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain adventages when application runs on
isolated cores with nohz_full kernel parameter.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v7:
- use per-lcore event group instead of global table index by lcore-id
- don't add pmu_autotest to fast tests because due to lack of suported on
every arch
v6:
- move codebase to the separate library
- address review comments
v5:
- address review comments
- fix sign extension while reading pmu on x86
- fix regex mentioned in doc
- various minor changes/improvements here and there
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
(nohz_full) i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use
standard perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis latern on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take adventage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance measurement unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='.*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'

+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain adventages when application runs on
isolated cores with nohz_full kernel parameter.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v8:
- just rebase series
v7:
- use per-lcore event group instead of global table index by lcore-id
- don't add pmu_autotest to fast tests because due to lack of suported on
every arch
v6:
- move codebase to the separate library
- address review comments
v5:
- address review comments
- fix sign extension while reading pmu on x86
- fix regex mentioned in doc
- various minor changes/improvements here and there
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
(nohz_full) i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use
standard perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

The following sections describe methods of profiling DPDK applications on
different architectures.
+Performance counter based profiling
+-----------------------------------
+
+Majority of architectures support some sort hardware measurement unit which provides a set of
+programmable counters that monitor specific events. There are different tools which can gather
+that information, perf being an example here. Though in some scenarios, eg. when CPU cores are
+isolated (nohz_full) and run dedicated tasks, using perf is less than ideal. In such cases one can
+read specific events directly from application via ``rte_pmu_read()``.

Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=======================================================
+* **Added PMU library.**
+
+ Added a new PMU (performance measurement unit) library which allows applications
+ to perform self monitoring activities without depending on external utilities like perf.
+ After integration with :doc:`../prog_guide/trace_lib` data gathered from hardware counters
+ can be stored in CTF format for further analysis.
+
* **Updated AMD axgbe driver.**
* Added multi-process support.
+* **Added multi-process support for axgbe PMD.**
+
* **Updated Corigine nfp driver.**
* Added support for meter options.

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis latern on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take adventage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance measurement unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='.*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'
+
+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.

Overall looks good to me. Just a minor comment.
Should it be 'performance *monitoring* unit'?
I see the same terminology is used across architectures. It will be better if we align with that.
Thanks.

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain adventages when application runs on
isolated cores with nohz_full kernel parameter.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v9:
- fix 'maybe-uninitialized' warning reported by CI
v8:
- just rebase series
v7:
- use per-lcore event group instead of global table index by lcore-id
- don't add pmu_autotest to fast tests because due to lack of suported on
every arch
v6:
- move codebase to the separate library
- address review comments
v5:
- address review comments
- fix sign extension while reading pmu on x86
- fix regex mentioned in doc
- various minor changes/improvements here and there
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
(nohz_full) i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use
standard perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis latern on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take adventage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

``RTE_TRACE_POINT_FP`` is compiled out by default and it can be enabled using

+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance measurement unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='.*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'
+
+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.

Just to elaborate what Tomasz stated here...
The patch contains this line (code comments are mine):
return syscall(SYS_perf_event_open, &attr, /*pid*/ 0, /*cpu*/ -1, group_fd, 0);
And man 2 perf_event_open [1] says:
pid == 0 and cpu == -1:
This measures the calling process/thread on any CPU.
So it should work just fine, even when a thread is not pinned to a particular physical core.

This test should be added to an existing testsuite, like fast-tests etc...

We need a common definition in the documentation of what PMU stands
for and use it consistently.
I am not sure this documentation is the best place, but at least, I'd
prefer we go with "Performance Monitoring Unit" and stick to it.
Plus, this block is a bit hard to read too, what do you think of:
"""
A majority of architectures support some performance monitoring unit (PMU).
Such unit provides programmable counters that monitor specific events.
Different tools gather that information, like for example perf.
However, in some scenarios when CPU cores are isolated (nohz_full) and
run dedicated tasks, interrupting those tasks with perf may be
undesirable.
In such cases, an application can use the PMU library to read such
events via ``rte_pmu_read()``.
"""
And, a double newline is used between sections in this doc.

This is worth a cleanup later, read: I am not asking for it as part of
this series.
However, here, there is no need for protecting against its definition.

Prefer using per architectures #ifdef.
It is easier to get a simple link error than use weak symbols that
make it look like it could work on some arch.

One problem for the future is that we have a fixed size fd array.
Do we need to expose this whole structure to the application?

Unless I missed something, this symbol is called from rte_pmu_read()
so this makes rte_pmu_read() itself internal.
So external applications won't be able to use the PMU API.
This can probably be confirmed by adding some call to the PMU API in
an examples/.

On x86 it sufficient for self-monitoring to have kernel built with perf events enabled
and /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid knob should be set to 2, which
should be a default value anyway, unless changed by some scripts.
On ARM64 you need to additionally set /proc/sys/kernel/perf_user_access to bypass
kernel when accessing hw counters.

Rationale for that was actually to not break anything. That means you can compile that code
for every arch, except on unsupported ones you'll see stream of zeros inside a trace file.

Prove me wrong but logs are part of eal and unless they are moved to a separate
library this lib shouldn't call these APIs. Otherwise we'll introduce dependency
on eal which we wanted to avoid in the first place.

Generally speaking, compiler thinks that function calling this function may use

I recall that it was added deliberately because this function was actually being inlined.
But given code changed a bit through multiple revisions this may not be necessary anymore.

This number can be increased if needed but rationale for that
was PMUs come with relatively small number of hw counters. Here
events are grouped together (i.e scheduled together) which means there must
be enough hw counters for all events for things to work.

Probably some part of it could have been hidden but all those structures are so small
that presumably such partitioning would not bring much to the table.

Good point actually. This was not that obvious when I looked at the patch introducing that change.
So in this case it needs to be exported but given app should not call that itself maybe I'll
just make the intent clear by renaming it perhaps to __rte_pmu_enable_group() or something
alike.

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain advantages when application runs on
isolated cores running dedicated tasks.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v10:
- check permissions before using counters
- do not use internal symbols in exported functions
- address review comments
v9:
- fix 'maybe-uninitialized' warning reported by CI
v8:
- just rebase series
v7:
- use per-lcore event group instead of global table index by lcore-id
- don't add pmu_autotest to fast tests because due to lack of suported on
every arch
v6:
- move codebase to the separate library
- address review comments
v5:
- address review comments
- fix sign extension while reading pmu on x86
- fix regex mentioned in doc
- various minor changes/improvements here and there
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra
Tomasz Duszynski (4):
lib: add generic support for reading PMU events
pmu: support reading ARM PMU events in runtime
pmu: support reading Intel x86_64 PMU events in runtime
eal: add PMU support to tracing library

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use standard
perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

The following sections describe methods of profiling DPDK applications on
different architectures.
+Performance counter based profiling
+-----------------------------------
+
+Majority of architectures support some performance monitoring unit (PMU).
+Such unit provides programmable counters that monitor specific events.
+
+Different tools gather that information, like for example perf.
+However, in some scenarios when CPU cores are isolated and run
+dedicated tasks interrupting those tasks with perf may be undesirable.
+
+In such cases, an application can use the PMU library to read such events via ``rte_pmu_read()``.

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis latern on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take adventage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance monitoring unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='.*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'
+
+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ...
+ rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(0);
+ rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(1);

Can we return TEST_SKIPPED here?
On aarch64, this feature requires kernel version >= 5.17. CI setups doesn't meet this requirement will
start to report failure when running fast_tests.

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain advantages when application runs on
isolated cores running dedicated tasks.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v11:
- skip fast test in case init fails
v10:
- check permissions before using counters
- do not use internal symbols in exported functions
- address review comments
v9:
- fix 'maybe-uninitialized' warning reported by CI
v8:
- just rebase series
v7:
- use per-lcore event group instead of global table index by lcore-id
- don't add pmu_autotest to fast tests because due to lack of suported on
every arch
v6:
- move codebase to the separate library
- address review comments
v5:
- address review comments
- fix sign extension while reading pmu on x86
- fix regex mentioned in doc
- various minor changes/improvements here and there
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra

in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use standard
perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

The following sections describe methods of profiling DPDK applications on
different architectures.
+Performance counter based profiling
+-----------------------------------
+
+Majority of architectures support some performance monitoring unit (PMU).
+Such unit provides programmable counters that monitor specific events.
+
+Different tools gather that information, like for example perf.
+However, in some scenarios when CPU cores are isolated and run
+dedicated tasks interrupting those tasks with perf may be undesirable.
+
+In such cases, an application can use the PMU library to read such events via ``rte_pmu_read()``.

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis latern on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take adventage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

``RTE_TRACE_POINT_FP`` is compiled out by default and it can be enabled using
the ``enable_trace_fp`` option for meson build.
+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance monitoring unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='.*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'
+
+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.
+
+.. code-block:: c

PMU is kind of MSR. Precisely , that's MSR per core.
All MSR reading will lead to IPI(Please reference the kernel
implementation of MSR driver). The IPI will disturb the DPDK application
because the userspace/kernel context switch, which has impact to the
tail latency.

If so, wouldn't it make sense to have it under linux subdir?

It's a matter of not keeping old stuff cached in registers
and making sure that we have two reads of lock. CPU reordering

As I understand you do have include just above for the whole .h

This number is just an indicator whether kernel did change something or not.
If cpu reordering will come into play then this will not change anything from pov of this loop.
All we want is fresh data when needed and no involvement of compiler when it comes to reordering
code.

You are talking about pc->lock, right?
Yes, I do understand that it is sort of seqlock.
That's why I am puzzled why we do not care about possible cpu read-reordering.
Manual for perf_event_open() also has a code snippet with compiler barrier only...

Ok, can you probably explain to me why the following could not happen:
T0:
pc->seqlock==0; pc->index==I1; pc->offset==O1;
T1:
cpu #0 read pmu (due to cpu read reorder, we get index value before seqlock):
index=pc->index; //index==I1;
T2:
cpu #1 kernel vent_update_userpage:
pc->lock++; // pc->lock==1
pc->index=I2;
pc->offset=O2;
...
pc->lock++; //pc->lock==2
T3:
cpu #0 continue with read pmu:
seq=pc->lock; //seq == 2
offset=pc->offset; // offset == O2
....
pmc = rte_pmu_pmc_read(index - 1); // Note that we read at I1, not I2
offset += pmc; //offset == O2 + pmcread(I1-1);
if (pc->lock == seq) // they are equal, return
return offset;
Or, it can happen, but by some reason we don't care much?

Another question - do we really need to have __rte_pmu_read_userpage()
and rte_pmu_read() as static inline functions in public header?
As I understand, because of that we also have to make 'struct rte_pmu_*'
definitions also public.

This code does self-monitoring and user page (whole group actually) is per thread running on
current cpu. Hence I am not sure what are you trying to prove with that example.

I am not trying to prove anything so far.
I am asking is such situation possible or not, and if not, why?
My current understanding (possibly wrong) is that after you mmaped these pages,
kernel still can asynchronously update them.
So, when reading the data from these pages you have to check 'lock' value before and
after accessing other data.
If so, why possible cpu read-reordering doesn't matter?
Also there was another question below, which you probably missed, so I copied it here:
Another question - do we really need to have __rte_pmu_read_userpage() and rte_pmu_read() as
static inline functions in public header?
As I understand, because of that we also have to make 'struct rte_pmu_*'
definitions also public.

Look. I'll reiterate that.
1. That user page/group/PMU config is per process. Other processes do not access that.
All this happens on the very same CPU where current thread is running.
2. Suppose you've already read seq. Now for some reason kernel updates data in page seq was read from.
3. Kernel will enter critical section during update. seq changes along with other data without app knowing about it.
If you want nitty gritty details consult kernel sources.
4. app resumes and has some stale data but *WILL* read new seq. Code loops again because values do not match.
5. Otherwise seq values match and data is valid.

Ok, that's clear.

Ok... but can't this page be updated by kernel thread running
simultaneously on different CPU?

Look, I don't have to beg you to answer these questions.
In fact, I expect library author to document all such narrow things
clearly either in in PG, or in source code comments (ideally in both).
If not, then from my perspective the patch is not ready stage and
shouldn't be accepted.
I don't know is compiler-barrier is enough here or not, but I think it
is definitely worth a clear explanation in the docs.
I suppose it wouldn't be only me who will get confused here.
So please take an effort and document it clearly why you believe there
is no race-condition.
> 4. app resumes and has some stale data but *WILL* read new seq. Code loops again because values do not match.
If the kernel will always execute update for this page in the same
thread context, then yes, - user code will always note the difference
after resume.
But why it can't happen that your user-thread reads this page on one
CPU, while some kernel code on other CPU updates it simultaneously?

I understand that perfomance might be affected, but how big is hit?
I expect actual PMU read will not be free anyway, right?
If the diff is small, might be it is worth to go for such change,
removing unneeded structures from public headers would help a lot in
future in terms of ABI/API stability.

Hmm.. so we insert pointer to TLS variable into the global list?
Wonder what would happen if that thread get terminated?
Can memory from its TLS block get re-used (by other thread or for other
purposes)?

forgot RTE_ prefix.
In fact, do you really need number of events in group to be hard-coded?
Couldn't mmap_pages[] and fds[] be allocated dynamically by enable_group()?

Even if we'd decide to keep rte_pmu_read() as static inline (still not
sure it is a good idea),
why these two struct below (rte_pmu_event and rte_pmu) have to be public?
I think both can be safely moved away from public headers.

In mmap_events() you return EPERM if cap_user_rdpmc is not enabled.
Do you need another check here? Or this capability can be disabled by
kernel at run-time?

Hmm.. then who should call it?

Probably worth to mention that this function is not MT safe.
Same for _fini_ and add_event.
Also worth to mention that all control-path functions
(init/fini/add_event) and data-path (pmu_read) can't be called concurrently.

Ok, I suppose then best choice is to ask freebsd and windows maintainers.
Guys, any thoughts here?

I already pointed out that event/counter configuration is bound to current cpu. How can possibly
other cpu update that configuration? This cannot work.
If you think that there's some problem with the code (or is simply broken on your setup) and logic
has obvious flaw and you can provide meaningful evidence of that then I'd be more than happy to
apply that fix. Otherwise that discussion will get us nowhere.

Nothing special. Any pointers to that thread-local in that thread are invalided.

Why would any other thread reuse that? Eventually main thread will need that data to do the cleanup.

8 is reasonable number I think. X86/ARM have actually less that that (was that something like 4?).
Moreover events are scheduled as a group so there must be enough hw counters available
for that to succeed. So this number should cover current needs.

We want to save as much cpu cycles as we possibly can and inlining does helps
in that matter.

struct rte_pmu_event can be hidden I guess.
struct rte_pmu is used in this header hence cannot be moved elsewhere.

That extra check in mmap_event() may be removed actually. Some archs allow
disabling reading rdpmc (I think that on x86 one can do that) so this check needs to stay.

No this cannot be internal because that will make functions calling it

I understand that main thread would need to access that data.
I am not sure that it would be able to.
Imagine thread calls rte_pmu_read(...) and then terminates, while program continues to run.
As I understand address of its RTE_PER_LCORE(_event_group) will still remain in rte_pmu.event_group_list,
even if it is probably not valid any more.

If you think 8 will be enough to cover all possible future cases - I am ok either way.
Still need RTE_ prefix for it.

Ok, so asking same question from different thread: how many cycles it will save?
What is the difference in terms of performance when you have this function
inlined vs not inlined?

Not sure why?
Is that because you use it inside rte_pmu_read()?
But that check I think can be safely moved into __rte_pmu_enable_group()
or probably even into rte_pmu_add_event().

I thought we are talking here about rte_pmu_init().
I don't see where it is inlined and still not clear why it can't be called directly.

Is the example you describe here (i.e. a thread terminating in the middle of doing something) really a scenario DPDK is supposed to support?

There should be a "destructor/done/finish" function available to remove this from the list.

We expect to use this in our in-house profiler library. For this reason, I have a very strong preference for absolute maximum performance.
Reading PMU events is for performance profiling, so I expect other potential users of the PMU library to share my opinion on this.

Okay got your point. In DPDK that will not happen. We do not spawn/kill lcores in runtime.
In other scenarios such approach will not work because once thread terminates it's per-thread-data
becomes invalid.

On x86 setup which is not under load, no cpusets configured, etc *just* not inlining rte_pmu_read()
decreases performance by roughly 24% (44 vs 58 cpu cycles). At least that is reported by
trace_perf_autotest.

No, we should not do that. Otherwise we'll need to call function. Even though check will happen
early on still function prologue/epilogue will happen. This takes cycles.

I added a warning not to call that directly. Since function is not internal (in DPDK parlance) per se

No this cannot be called by init because groups are configured in runtime. That is why
__rte_pmu_enable_group() is called once in rte_pmu_read().
*Other* code should not call that directly. And yes, that is not inlined - my mistake.

Can you elaborate a bit what you mean with 'event/counter configuration is bound to current cpu'?
If that means it could be updated only by code running on given, CPU - yes it is clear.
But can this page be read by user-space from different CPU?
Or you just assume that your user-space thread will *always* be bounded just to one
particular CPU and would never switch?

Yes, we are going in cycles here.
I keep asking you same questions about library function internals, you keep refusing to explain things
to me insisting that it is 'way too obvious'.
Well, sorry but it is not obvious to me.
So I still insist that a clearly documented internal design and expected usage is required for that patch
before it can be accepted.

Well, yes usually DPDK app doesn't do that, but in theory there is an API to register/unregister
non-eal threads as lcores: rte_thread_register()/rte_thread_unregister().
Also besides of lcores there are control threads, some house-keeping threads, plus user is free
to spawn/kill his own threads.
Are you saying that this library doesn't support none of them?
If so, then at least that should be very clearly documented.
Though I think a proper way is handle this situation somehow -
either return error at __rte_pmu_enable_group(), or change the code to allow it to work
properly from any thread. I don't think it is that hard.

From my perspective 14 cycles is not that much...
Considering that user will probably not call it very often, and by enabling measurements he
probably already prepared to get some hit.

Not necessary. You can store this value in pmu_group itself,
and by this value decide is pmu and group initialized, etc.

Once again: we are discussing comments for rte_pmu_init() function.
Why it can't be called directly?
In test_pmu_read() you do call it directly.

I am not talking about some abnormal termination.
We do have ability to spawn control threads, user can spawn his own thread, all these
threads can have limited life-time.
Not to mention about rte_thread_register()/rte_thread_unregister().

Well, from my perspective 14 cycles are not that much...
Though yes, it would be good to hear more opinions here.

Then I misunderstood your example; I thought you meant the tread was terminated while inside the rte_pmu_read() function.

> Well, from my perspective 14 cycles are not that much...
For reference, the i40e testpmd per-core performance report shows that it uses 36 cycles per packet.
This is a total of 1152 cycles per burst of 32 packets. 14 cycles overhead per burst / 1152 cycles per burst = 1.2 % overhead.
But that is not all: If the application's pipeline has three stages, where the PMU counters are read for each stage, the per-invocation overhead of 14 cycles adds up, and the overhead per burst is now 3 * 14 / 1152 = 3.6 %.
Generalizing...
In my example here, the same function with 14 wasted cycles is called three times. It might as well be three individual libraries each wasting 14 cycles in its individual fast path processing function, due to a similarly relaxed attitude regarding wasting 14 cycles.
My point is:
Real applications do much more work than testpmd, so all this "insignificant" extra overhead in the libraries adds up!
Generally, I would like the DPDK Project to remain loyal to its original philosophy, where performance is considered a Key Performance Indicator, and overhead in the fast path is kept at an absolute minimum.

I was too fast on the keyboard here... If the application does more work than testpmd, it certainly also uses more than 1152 cycles to do that work. So please ignore the 3.6 % as a wild exaggeration from an invalid example, and just stick with the 1.2 % overhead - which I still consider significant, and thus worth avoiding.

Wonder can we do both - hide struct rte_pmu_event_group from public API
and have inline function to read pmu stats?
if we can add a separate function that will allow user to get
struct perf_event_mmap_page * for given event index (or event name),
then later user can use
__rte_pmu_read_userpage(struct perf_event_mmap_page *pc)
directly.

There are still some pending comments on this series and it can't be
merged until they get sorted out.
I noted two points :
- Konstantin asked for better explanations in the implementation.
- He also pointed out at using this feature with non EAL lcores.
Could you work on this so we can consider this series for v23.07?
Thank you.

@Thomasz, @Jerin,
I expect this feature to be useful for profiling of systems deployed in production, and would like to see it go into DPDK.
What is its status?

Hi Morten,
I was buried in other things and did not work on that so to speak. If there's still need
for this feature, as you say, I'll respin this series for good. Hopefully new version
will be available this month.

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain advantages when application runs on
isolated cores running dedicated tasks.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v12:
- rebase old series
- slightly refresh existing documentation
- make sure compiler won't optimize accesses to certain variables during
event readout
- drop previous Acked-by to respin a fresh review cycle
v11:
- skip fast test in case init fails
v10:
- check permissions before using counters
- do not use internal symbols in exported functions
- address review comments
v9:
- fix 'maybe-uninitialized' warning reported by CI
v8:
- just rebase series
v7:
- use per-lcore event group instead of global table index by lcore-id
- don't add pmu_autotest to fast tests because due to lack of suported
on every arch
v6:
- move codebase to the separate library
- address review comments
v5:
- address review comments
- fix sign extension while reading pmu on x86
- fix regex mentioned in doc
- various minor changes/improvements here and there
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra
Tomasz Duszynski (4):
lib: add generic support for reading PMU events
pmu: support reading ARM PMU events in runtime
pmu: support reading Intel x86_64 PMU events in runtime

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use standard
perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

The following sections describe methods of profiling DPDK applications on
different architectures.
+Performance counter based profiling
+-----------------------------------
+
+Majority of architectures support some performance monitoring unit (PMU).
+Such unit provides programmable counters that monitor specific events.
+
+Different tools gather that information, like for example perf.
+However, in some scenarios when CPU cores are isolated and run
+dedicated tasks interrupting those tasks with perf may be undesirable.
+
+In such cases, an application can use the PMU library to read such events via ``rte_pmu_read()``.
+
+By default, userspace applications are not allowed to access PMU internals. That can be changed
+by setting ``/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid`` to 2 (that should be a default value anyway) and
+adding ``CAP_PERFMON`` capability to DPDK application. Please refer to
+``Documentation/admin-guide/perf-security.rst`` under Linux sources for more information. Fairly
+recent kernel, i.e >= 5.9, is advised too.
+
+As of now implementation imposes certain limitations:
+
+* Only EAL lcores are supported
+
+* EAL lcores must not share a cpu
+
+* Each EAL lcore measures same group of events
+

``RTE_TRACE_POINT_FP`` is compiled out by default and it can be enabled using

+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance monitoring unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='.*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'
+
+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.

It seems the series was rebased on next-net (I see a reference to some
RN entry in next-net).
Can you rebase on main so CI can test it?

This increment is not multithread safe, does it need to be?

There is a lot of condition compilation across the series.
I think, we can remove all that by returning -ENOSUP for
rte_pmu_init() and friends for Non Linux Operating systems and
adjusting the documentation, so the caller is aware of the contract.
or add rte_pmd_feature_is_enabled() or so.

Fine. I removed conditional compilation completely in v13 though the downside is
libpmu needs to be always enabled and we have some data in version.map which
might not necessarily by true on systems other than Linux. Maybe that's a not
high price to pay for a cleaner code though.

This was introduced *solely* to allow running fast-test (pmu_autotest) along with trace_perf_autotest. The thing is if you execute dpdk-test and have fast tracepoint option enabled then EAL will initialize pmu by itself. OTOH pmu_autotest is more for testing API calls than anything else so it initializes pmu too.
In order to avoid this situation where pmu gets initialized twice we have that counter.
If someone calls this API concurrently then we indeed face synchronization issues as you rightfully pointed out. I don't know to what extent calling init/fini from different context proves useful but I can harden this part just in case. Thanks for pointing this context out.

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain advantages when application runs on
isolated cores running dedicated tasks.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v13:
- allow init/fini calling from multiple contexts
- get rid of conditional compilation and return erors in case APIs are
used on unsupported OS
v12:
- rebase old series
- slightly refresh existing documentation
- make sure compiler won't optimize accesses to certain variables during
event readout
- drop previous Acked-by to respin a fresh review cycle
v11:
- skip fast test in case init fails
v10:
- check permissions before using counters
- do not use internal symbols in exported functions
- address review comments
v9:
- fix 'maybe-uninitialized' warning reported by CI
v8:
- just rebase series
v7:
- use per-lcore event group instead of global table index by lcore-id
- don't add pmu_autotest to fast tests because due to lack of suported
on every arch
v6:
- move codebase to the separate library
- address review comments
v5:
- address review comments
- fix sign extension while reading pmu on x86
- fix regex mentioned in doc
- various minor changes/improvements here and there
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use standard
perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis later on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take advantage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

``RTE_TRACE_POINT_FP`` is compiled out by default and it can be enabled using
the ``enable_trace_fp`` option for meson build.
+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance monitoring unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='.*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'
+
+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.

This --trace parameter takes a regex, but the --log-level parameter takes a globbing pattern (and a regex, for backwards compatibility, I assume).
This --trace parameter should behave like the --log-level parameter, or if not able to parse both, use globbing pattern, not regex.
Check the --trace parameter parser here:

The log level has two API's one takes regex and one takes file glob pattern.
The original one was the regex, but everybody (including the documentation) got regex wrong when the log level format had periods
in it. The glob match was more intuitive, and that is what is recommended.
For tracing if you want to use regex then function should be named with _regexp(
For extra bonus points, having both a regex and glob version (with pattern) would be great.

Just in case, I'll stress that --trace parameter is inherited from tracing library and that itself takes a regex.
Checked both documentation and sources for any discrepancies but there are none.
That means there has never been any compatibility with --log-level behavior and I don't think that patch
should straight things out.
Maybe addressing that separately would be more sensible.

Thanks for providing more context.

Adding extra suffix is fine. glob match lacks some syntax used for specifying events to read, which is \| (OR). Checked the link from Morten
and seems regex matching is turned on whenever log-level contains a coma. Unfortunately I treat coma as event delimiter so presumably
syntax would need to be changed.
Maybe something like '.*pmu.read:cpu_cycles;l1d_cache,*some_other_unrelated tp*' would be more appropriate if making --trace similar to --log-level is the way to go.

<rant>
It's unfortunate that the parameter formats passed though various means (command line, telemetry, ...) have evolved by piling on more and more, rather than making a proper design, like the other APIs.
</rant>
Since this patch is related to trace, you should let trace conventions take precedence over log conventions.
Please ignore my feedback about using log conventions.
Sorry about the noise. ;-)

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain advantages when application runs on
isolated cores running dedicated tasks.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v14:
- replace __atomic_xxx with rte_atomic_xxx
- rebase to dpdk/main since that's a new feature
v13:
- allow init/fini calling from multiple contexts
- get rid of conditional compilation and return erors in case APIs are
used on unsupported OS
v12:
- rebase old series
- slightly refresh existing documentation
- make sure compiler won't optimize accesses to certain variables during
event readout
- drop previous Acked-by to respin a fresh review cycle
v11:
- skip fast test in case init fails
v10:
- check permissions before using counters
- do not use internal symbols in exported functions
- address review comments
v9:
- fix 'maybe-uninitialized' warning reported by CI
v8:
- just rebase series
v7:
- use per-lcore event group instead of global table index by lcore-id
- don't add pmu_autotest to fast tests because due to lack of suported
on every arch
v6:
- move codebase to the separate library
- address review comments
v5:
- address review comments
- fix sign extension while reading pmu on x86
- fix regex mentioned in doc
- various minor changes/improvements here and there
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use standard
perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

@@ -7,6 +7,35 @@ Profile Your Application
The following sections describe methods of profiling DPDK applications on
different architectures.
+Performance counter based profiling
+-----------------------------------
+
+Majority of architectures support some performance monitoring unit (PMU).
+Such unit provides programmable counters that monitor specific events.
+
+Different tools gather that information, like for example perf.
+However, in some scenarios when CPU cores are isolated and run
+dedicated tasks interrupting those tasks with perf may be undesirable.
+
+In such cases, an application can use the PMU library to read such events via ``rte_pmu_read()``.
+
+By default, userspace applications are not allowed to access PMU internals. That can be changed
+by setting ``/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid`` to 2 (that should be a default value anyway) and
+adding ``CAP_PERFMON`` capability to DPDK application. Please refer to
+``Documentation/admin-guide/perf-security.rst`` under Linux sources for more information. Fairly
+recent kernel, i.e >= 5.9, is advised too.
+
+As of now implementation imposes certain limitations:
+
+* Management APIs that normally return a non-negative value will return error (``-ENOTSUP``) while
+ ``rte_pmu_read()`` will return ``UINT64_MAX`` if running under unsupported operating system.
+
+* Only EAL lcores are supported
+
+* EAL lcores must not share a cpu
+
+* Each EAL lcore measures same group of events
+

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis later on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take advantage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

``RTE_TRACE_POINT_FP`` is compiled out by default and it can be enabled using
the ``enable_trace_fp`` option for meson build.
+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance monitoring unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='.*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'
+
+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.
+
+.. code-block:: c

I thought that after previous round of reviews, we got a consensus
that it is a bad idea to insert pointer of TLS variable into the global list:
https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20230216175502.3164820-2-tduszynski@marvell.com/
As I said before - I believe it is error prone, and needs to be addressed.
There are plenty of other ways to have one object per lcore (if that's really necessary):
array of RTE_MAX_LCORE indexed by lcore_id, or new rte_lcore_var.h API introduced
by Mattias recently, or even simple TLS pointer with malloc() behind would be better.

Not sure I understand the comment above: rte_pmu_init() supposed to be MT safe or not?
If yes, then that function probably need to wait till initialization finishes.

As I already asked you several times in previous review rounds:
https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20230216175502.3164820-2-tduszynski@marvell.com/
please add a detailed comment here:
i.e. that function (and rte_pmu_read()) to work properly supposed to be used only on
a thread that *always* binded to just one cpu core.

Same questions as before: if it is internal, then why:
a) it is located in public API .h file
b) why it is called directly by user-code in app/test/test_pmu.c
?

Hmm..., why _fini_() is allowed to be called directly while _init_() doesn't?

Quick comment as I saw a failure in CI.
An optional library should not be a required dependency for EAL.
You need something like (untested):
if dpdk_conf.has('RTE_LIB_PMU')
deps += ['pmu']
endif
> if not is_windows
> deps += ['telemetry']

Is this handled by destructor, called from rte_eal_cleanup() and/or testpmd?

It was tested only on lcores (look TLS for example). I don't know how other constructs behave and what are their specific requirements.
This library has some room for improvements so I think future changes will address that limitations.

I don't think there was any consensus. It was rather your point of view solely. So I still believe
that given currently that only runs on lcores and lcores do not terminate before the main
one hence it's safe to access TLS from a main.
Once support for running on anything other than lcore gets added current mechanics is likely to change.
And as you pointed out, there are plenty of options available.

It's supposed to be MT safe. Generally there are two options here.
# one you pointed out i.e spinning in a loop until everything is up and running
# checking if tracing is initialized during event read-out
Initially second option was chosen and rte_pmu_read() performs check prior to doing anything.
Still, I see a problem there so I'm glad you raised that.

Okay I will add comment under limitations that we want one lcore per cpu core.

Some functions are located in public API file out of convenience. They are either macros or inline functions.
Documentation points out which are safe to be called directly which are not so user-space knows the rules.

Typo. Functions that should not be called directly are prefixed with double underscore.

If fast tracepoint is enabled then this is called by eal_trace_fini() which is called by eal_trace_cleanup().
If fast tracepoint is disabled user should call it himself. Though, that counter reading works best with fast trace point because everything is handled automatically.

Here is a mail where I highlighted the problem:
https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/6bf789b7ba4e4a8e847431a130372a4b@huawei.com/
Here is a mail where Morten agreed that it needs to be addressed:
https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/98CBD80474FA8B44BF855DF32C47DC35D87792@smartserver.smartshare.dk/
Here is a mail from David, where he summarizes the remaining work required for these series:
https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/DM4PR18MB43684B889C50F20DDD1B0A29D20CA@DM4PR18MB4368.namprd18.prod.outlook.com/
"...
- Konstantin asked for better explanations in the implementation.
- He also pointed out at using this feature with non EAL lcores.
..."
Here is your reply:
https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/DM4PR18MB43684B889C50F20DDD1B0A29D20CA@DM4PR18MB4368.namprd18.prod.outlook.com/
You didn't object, so I interpreted that (probably wrongly) that we had a consensus here.
> So I still believe
> that given currently that only runs on lcores and lcores do not terminate before the main

Could you clarify what you means by 'lcores' here?
Threads with valid 'lcore_id'?
There is an API within DPDK that allows user
to assign vacant lcore_id ((rte_thread_register) to some new thread, run it for some time,
then release lcore_id (rte_thread_unregister) and then terminate the thread.
Another thing - there is no checks within PMU API around does this thread satisfy expected criteria's or not.
So if user will call PMU API from 'wrong' thread - it would succeed and for many cases will keep working
as expected. But for other cases (thread lifetime is shorter then program lifetime) it might cause a crash or
silent memory corruption.
> Once support for running on anything other than lcore gets added current mechanics is likely to change.
Honestly, using TLS variables within the global list here - is just asking for trouble.
Please fix it, there are plenty of simple ways to avoid such issue once and for all.
Without this problem addressed, my vote for that patch is NACK.

There are plenty of ways user can shoot shot show own foot and the more checks gets added to APIs, especially the one that reads event, the more cycle hungry it gets. So there needs to be some trade-off.
Currently I'm not aiming at supporting everything, rather worker lcores which are spawned during eal init and say till the end.
As said once basic version gets merged I'll continue work on improving other areas.

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain advantages when application runs on
isolated cores running dedicated tasks.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v15:
- add some basic logs related to API failures
- get rid of thread-local-storage
- do not support MT-safety (which was buggy anyway) in management APIs (rte_pmu_init(),
rte_pmu_fini(), rte_pmu_add_{event,events_by_pattern}() as it impacts rte_pmu_read()
performance because more logic needs to be incorporated to handle all corner cases
- improve documentation slightly
- various other improvements here and there
v14:
- replace __atomic_xxx with rte_atomic_xxx
- rebase to dpdk/main since that's a new feature
v13:
- allow init/fini calling from multiple contexts
- get rid of conditional compilation and return erors in case APIs are
used on unsupported OS
v12:
- rebase old series
- slightly refresh existing documentation
- make sure compiler won't optimize accesses to certain variables during
event readout
- drop previous Acked-by to respin a fresh review cycle
v11:
- skip fast test in case init fails
v10:
- check permissions before using counters
- do not use internal symbols in exported functions
- address review comments
v9:
- fix 'maybe-uninitialized' warning reported by CI
v8:
- just rebase series
v7:
- use per-lcore event group instead of global table index by lcore-id
- don't add pmu_autotest to fast tests because due to lack of suported
on every arch
v6:
- move codebase to the separate library
- address review comments
v5:
- address review comments
- fix sign extension while reading pmu on x86
- fix regex mentioned in doc
- various minor changes/improvements here and there
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use standard
perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

The following sections describe methods of profiling DPDK applications on
different architectures.
+Performance counter based profiling
+-----------------------------------
+
+Majority of architectures support some performance monitoring unit (PMU).
+Such unit provides programmable counters that monitor specific events.
+
+Different tools gather that information, like for example perf.
+However, in some scenarios when CPU cores are isolated and run
+dedicated tasks interrupting those tasks with perf may be undesirable.
+
+In such cases, an application can use the PMU library to read such events via ``rte_pmu_read()``.
+
+By default, userspace applications are not allowed to access PMU internals. That can be changed
+by setting ``/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid`` to 2 (that should be a default value anyway) and
+adding ``CAP_PERFMON`` capability to DPDK application. Please refer to
+``Documentation/admin-guide/perf-security.rst`` under Linux sources for more information. Fairly
+recent kernel, i.e >= 5.9, is advised too.
+
+As of now implementation imposes certain limitations:
+
+* Management APIs that normally return a non-negative value will return error (``-ENOTSUP``) while
+ ``rte_pmu_read()`` will return ``UINT64_MAX`` if running under unsupported operating system.
+
+* Only EAL lcores are supported
+
+* EAL lcores must not share a cpu
+
+* Each EAL lcore measures same group of events

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis later on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take advantage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

``RTE_TRACE_POINT_FP`` is compiled out by default and it can be enabled using
the ``enable_trace_fp`` option for meson build.
+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance monitoring unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='.*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'
+
+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ...
+ rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(0);
+ rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(1);
+ ...
+
+PMU tracing support must be explicitly enabled using the ``enable_trace_fp``
+option for meson build.

All of the above changes can go to lib/pmu. Right? Like ethdev is
adding its trace points in ethdev library?
and make trace point name as rte_pmu_trace_read

That's because libpmu is higher than eal in hierarchy of libraries so it won't see some symbols, for example __rte_trace_point_register().
So first tracing itself needs to be moved out to a separate library and then approach other libs take would become natural for libpmu too.

OK; I suppose the required change of tracing library is not going to happen right away, so Ack to keeping it here (for now).
Please rename trace point to rte_pmu_trace_read / lib.pmu.read as requested by Jerin. Although it is temporarily in EAL (due to the above trace library issue), it really is PMU library, not EAL library.

LGTM in general, just few questions, nits - majority about docs/comments.

From reading the code - I can see ithat PMU API is not MT safe.
The only function that can run in parallel is rte_pmu_read(), correct?
All other combinations: let say pmu_read() and add_event() are not possible,
right?
If so, then it is probably worth to articulate that explicitly in the public API
comments, after all extra comment doesn't hurt.

As I remember that function implies to be called from the thread
bind to one particular cpu.
If that is still the case - please state it explicitly in the comments above.

I think we better check here value returned by rte_lcore_id() before using it as an index.

Stupid q, why not:
if (rte_pmu.initialized++ > 0) return 0?
Also increment/decrement counter implies that init()/fini()
can be called multiple times, correct?
If so, there is still an implicit assumption that it always will
happen in a sequential manner?

If you call rte_pmu_init() and it fails, then rte_pmu.initialized stays at 1. It means that libpmu is initialized
but obviously that's not the case. On the other hand 1 means that there's one user, since this variable serves
both as a flag and reference counter, which is true in fact. So only half of the story is true but we want the
whole story to be true.
Besides, if first call fails then second one will return early hence caller won’t be able to initialize libpmu but this time due to a different reason.
And last thing, that expression resembles one used in rte_pmu_fini().
>Also increment/decrement counter implies that init()/fini() can be called multiple times, correct?
>If so, there is still an implicit assumption that it always will happen in a sequential manner?
>
Yes, that should happen in sequential manner. Frankly, that counter should stay at 1 for the most of the time.
The only exception is when you configure DPDK with -Denable_trace_fp=true and run functional test (pmu_autotest).
Then that counter jumps to 2 during test and gets pulled down to 1 at the end.

>> +Majority of architectures support some performance monitoring unit (PMU).

>> +``/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid`` to 2 (that should be a default
>> +value anyway) and adding ``CAP_PERFMON`` capability to DPDK
>> +application. Please refer to ``Documentation/admin-guide/perf-security.rst`` under Linux sources
>for more information. Fairly recent kernel, i.e >= 5.9, is advised too.

Yes, when it comes to this version pmu_read() is the only function that can be called concurrently
on different lcores. Okay, I'll try to rewrite existing comment to make that more explicit.

I'll add this check. Hopefully it will disappear once this gets switched to per-lcore-variables

Right, this indeed pops up with -Dcheck_includes=true. Will fix this in v16.

This series adds self monitoring support i.e allows to configure and
read performance measurement unit (PMU) counters in runtime without
using perf utility. This has certain advantages when application runs on
isolated cores running dedicated tasks.
Events can be read directly using rte_pmu_read() or using dedicated
tracepoint rte_eal_trace_pmu_read(). The latter will cause events to be
stored inside CTF file.
By design, all enabled events are grouped together and the same group
is attached to lcores that use self monitoring funtionality.
Events are enabled by names, which need to be read from standard
location under sysfs i.e
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events
where PMU is a core pmu i.e one measuring cpu events. As of today
raw events are not supported.
v16:
- fix build issue related to ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API not always defined
- rename tracepoints upfront to make it easier to decouple for tracing
- minor doc improvements
- make sure non EAL threads can't read PMU
v15:
- add some basic logs related to API failures
- get rid of thread-local-storage
- do not support MT-safety (which was buggy anyway) in management APIs (rte_pmu_init(),
rte_pmu_fini(), rte_pmu_add_{event,events_by_pattern}() as it impacts rte_pmu_read()
performance because more logic needs to be incorporated to handle all corner cases
- improve documentation slightly
- various other improvements here and there
v14:
- replace __atomic_xxx with rte_atomic_xxx
- rebase to dpdk/main since that's a new feature
v13:
- allow init/fini calling from multiple contexts
- get rid of conditional compilation and return erors in case APIs are
used on unsupported OS
v12:
- rebase old series
- slightly refresh existing documentation
- make sure compiler won't optimize accesses to certain variables during
event readout
- drop previous Acked-by to respin a fresh review cycle
v11:
- skip fast test in case init fails
v10:
- check permissions before using counters
- do not use internal symbols in exported functions
- address review comments
v9:
- fix 'maybe-uninitialized' warning reported by CI
v8:
- just rebase series
v7:
- use per-lcore event group instead of global table index by lcore-id
- don't add pmu_autotest to fast tests because due to lack of suported
on every arch
v6:
- move codebase to the separate library
- address review comments
v5:
- address review comments
- fix sign extension while reading pmu on x86
- fix regex mentioned in doc
- various minor changes/improvements here and there
v4:
- fix freeing mem detected by debug_autotest
v3:
- fix shared build
v2:
- fix problems reported by test build infra

Add support for programming PMU counters and reading their values
in runtime bypassing kernel completely.
This is especially useful in cases where CPU cores are isolated
i.e run dedicated tasks. In such cases one cannot use standard
perf utility without sacrificing latency and performance.

The following sections describe methods of profiling DPDK applications on
different architectures.
+Performance counter based profiling
+-----------------------------------
+
+Majority of architectures support some performance monitoring unit (PMU).
+Such unit provides programmable counters that monitor specific events.
+
+Different tools gather that information, like for example perf.
+However, in some scenarios when CPU cores are isolated and run
+dedicated tasks interrupting those tasks with perf may be undesirable.
+
+In such cases, an application can use the PMU library to read such events via ``rte_pmu_read()``.
+
+By default, userspace applications are not allowed to access PMU internals. That can be changed
+by setting ``/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid`` to 2 (that should be a default value anyway) and
+adding ``CAP_PERFMON`` capability to DPDK application. Please refer to
+``Documentation/admin-guide/perf-security.rst`` under Linux sources for more information. Fairly
+recent kernel, i.e >= 5.9, is advised too.
+
+As of now implementation imposes certain limitations:
+
+* Only EAL lcores are supported
+
+* EAL lcores must not share a cpu
+
+* Each EAL lcore measures same group of events
+

In order to profile app one needs to store significant amount of samples
somewhere for an analysis later on. Since trace library supports
storing data in a CTF format lets take advantage of that and add a
dedicated PMU tracepoint.

``RTE_TRACE_POINT_FP`` is compiled out by default and it can be enabled using
the ``enable_trace_fp`` option for meson build.
+PMU tracepoint
+--------------
+
+Performance monitoring unit (PMU) event values can be read from hardware
+registers using predefined ``rte_pmu_read`` tracepoint.
+
+Tracing is enabled via ``--trace`` EAL option by passing both expression
+matching PMU tracepoint name i.e ``lib.eal.pmu.read`` and expression
+``e=ev1[,ev2,...]`` matching particular events::
+
+ --trace='.*pmu.read\|e=cpu_cycles,l1d_cache'
+
+Event names are available under ``/sys/bus/event_source/devices/PMU/events``
+directory, where ``PMU`` is a placeholder for either a ``cpu`` or a directory
+containing ``cpus``.
+
+In contrary to other tracepoints this does not need any extra variables
+added to source files. Instead, caller passes index which follows the order of
+events specified via ``--trace`` parameter. In the following example index ``0``
+corresponds to ``cpu_cyclces`` while index ``1`` corresponds to ``l1d_cache``.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ...
+ rte_pmu_trace_read(0);
+ rte_pmu_trace_read(1);
+ ...
+
+PMU tracing support must be explicitly enabled using the ``enable_trace_fp``
+option for meson build.

Well 24.11 is released, so as a minimum will need rebase for 25.03

As with log parameters. Regex is harder to work with than a glob based syntax.

Since strtok is not thread safe, either use strtok_r or another
way to parse comma seperated list.
Maybe rte_strsplit could help?

It would be good to have a working useful example of what and how
these could be used.
Given that most DPDK applications are poll mode, it is not clear
how these could be useful.
There is a lot of work that perf does to go from the raw counters
to useful data, and without that exposing the raw stuff doesn't
seem that useful

Sentence wording is awkward, maybe combine the two sentences and/or look
to wikipedia or vendor for better definition.
Also add PMU to glossary in programmer's guide

Wrong path, should be /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
The default in current kernels is 2.

Provide link to kernel.org page for that doc please.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/perf-security.html
Since multiple things (even selinux) can restrict this. Maybe best to just add a generic
paragraph about what is needed, and leave the security description up to the kernel and
distro to handle.

I strongly prefer the dedicated high-performance PMU API rather than using telemetry for this.
Please keep the PMU API.
I expect to call the PMU API in our (proprietary) run-time profiling library, where reading PMU counters should be as lean as calling rte_rdtsc(). I sure don't want any superfluous overhead when profiling with a very high sampling rate.
For reference, many other libraries have dedicated APIs for reading the statistics structures of those libraries.
A wrapper around the PMU API can be added for Telemetry.
IMO, the Telemetry library should be made optional, like the Trace library recently was. For embedded systems, they are not only bloat, but potentially helpful for hackers trying to break in. And Security is one of the DPDK Governing Board's focus areas.

Can this data go right into perf?
It is not clear why this is better than just using perf?
The one use case I can think of is a cloud provider with lots and lots of embedded systems.
But in that case they already have much more detailed and integrated tools, the DPDK stuff is not needed.

I don't know enough about perf to provide a qualified answer to this.
Our data plane profiling library has very high resolution. Think of it gathering information about every single run of each pipeline stage, thus also providing detailed information about outliers.

As future possible enhancements - I think it would be useful to
make control-path API MT safe, plus probably try to hide some of
the exposed internal structures (rte_pmu_event_group, etc.) inside .c
(to minimize surface for possible ABI breakage).
