[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v9 0/3] ARM PMU tests

[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v9 0/3] ARM PMU tests

[Wei Huang]

Changes from v8:
* Probe PMU version based on ID_DFR0
* pmccntr_read() now returns 64bit and can handle both 32bit and 64bit
  PMCCNTR based on PMU version.
* Add pmccntr_write() support
* Use a common printf format PRId64 to support 64bit variable smoothly in
  test functions
* Add barriers to several PMU write functions
* Verfied on different execution modes

Note:
1) Current KVM code has bugs in handling PMCCFILTR write. A fix (see
below) is required for this unit testing code to work correctly under
KVM mode.

This is fine for this single test, but I was actually thinking we'd
implement both the 32-bit and 64-bit accessors separately, allowing
us to add an additional test that tries both on AArch32 (PMUv3). I.e.

 report_prefix_push("pmccntr");

 report("32-bit read", pmccntr_read() != 0); /* test mrc access */

 if (pmu_version == 0x3) {
     u64 cntr64 = pmccntr_read64(); /* test mrrc access */
     report("64-bit read", (cntr64 >> 32) == 0 && (u32)cntr64 != 0);
 } else {
     report_skip("64-bit read, PMUv3 required");
 }

We can refactor when we add that test later though.

These last two register writes are specific to the cycle count test, so
I don't think they belong in a common pmu_init function. I'd keep them
at the top of check_cycles_increase.

Calculate the numbers of cycles per instruction (CPI) implied by ARM
PMU cycle counter values. The code includes a strict checking facility
intended for the -icount option in TCG mode in the configuration file.

Thought you were going to rename this function.

 (cycles >> 32) != 0 would look better.

We have 3 cases where we return false here. How about doing the tests
separately and adding descriptive print statements for each?

 if (!cycles) {
     printf("\ncycles not incrementing!\n");
     return false;
 } else if (cpi > 0 && cycles != i * cpi) {
     ...
 } else if ((cycles >> 32) != 0) {
     ...
 }

                                ^ sigh, this is still zero...

Looks like you forgot all my comments from the last review round...
