Subject: [PATCH] perf vendor events: Fix DRAM_BW_Use 0 issue for CLX/SKX
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2020 08:53:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201023005334.7869-1-yao.jin@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Ian reports an issue that the metric DRAM_BW_Use often remains 0.

The metric expression for DRAM_BW_Use on CLX/SKX:

"( 64 * ( uncore_imc@cas_count_read@ + uncore_imc@cas_count_write@ ) / 1000000000 ) / duration_time"

The counts of uncore_imc/cas_count_read/ and uncore_imc/cas_count_write/
are scaled up by 64, that is to turn a count of cache lines into bytes,
the count is then divided by 1000000000 to give GB.

However, the counts of uncore_imc/cas_count_read/ and
uncore_imc/cas_count_write/ have been scaled yet.

The scale values are from sysfs, such as
/sys/devices/uncore_imc_0/events/cas_count_read.scale.
It's 6.103515625e-5 (64 / 1024.0 / 1024.0).

So if we use original metric expression, the result is not correct.

But the difficulty is, for SKL client, the counts are not scaled.

The metric expression for DRAM_BW_Use on SKL:

"64 * ( arb@event\\=0x81\\,umask\\=0x1@ + arb@event\\=0x84\\,umask\\=0x1@ ) / 1000000 / duration_time / 1000"

root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M DRAM_BW_Use -a -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

               190      arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ #     1.86 DRAM_BW_Use
        29,093,178      arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/
     1,000,703,287 ns   duration_time

       1.000703287 seconds time elapsed

The result is expected.

So the easy way is just change the metric expression for CLX/SKX.
This patch changes the metric expression to:

"( ( ( uncore_imc@cas_count_read@ + uncore_imc@cas_count_write@ ) * 1048576 ) / 1000000000 ) / duration_time"

1048576 = 1024 * 1024.

Before (tested on CLX):

root@lkp-csl-2sp5 ~# perf stat -M DRAM_BW_Use -a -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

            765.35 MiB  uncore_imc/cas_count_read/ #     0.00 DRAM_BW_Use
              5.42 MiB  uncore_imc/cas_count_write/
        1001515088 ns   duration_time

       1.001515088 seconds time elapsed

After:

root@lkp-csl-2sp5 ~# perf stat -M DRAM_BW_Use -a -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

            767.95 MiB  uncore_imc/cas_count_read/ #     0.80 DRAM_BW_Use
              5.02 MiB  uncore_imc/cas_count_write/
        1001900010 ns   duration_time

       1.001900010 seconds time elapsed
