Subject: [Patch v10 10/23] perf/x86: Enable XMM register sampling for non-PEBS events
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 14:24:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721062506.3745816-11-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721062506.3745816-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>

Previously, XMM register sampling was only available for PEBS events
starting from Icelake. Extend the support to non-PEBS events using
the xsaves instruction, thereby completing the feature set.

To implement this, a 64-byte aligned buffer is required. A per-CPU
ext_regs_buf is introduced to store SIMD and other registers, with an
approximate size of 2K. The buffer is allocated using kzalloc_node(),
ensuring natural and 64-byte alignment for all kmalloc() allocations
with powers of 2.

XMM sampling for non-PEBS events is supported in the REGS_INTR case.
Support for REGS_USER will be added in a subsequent patch. For PEBS
events, XMM register sampling data is directly retrieved from PEBS
records.

Future support for additional vector registers (YMM/ZMM/OPMASK) is
planned. An ext_regs_mask is added to track the supported vector
register groups.
