The powerpc cpuid information includes chip revision information.
Changes between chip revisions are usually minor bug fixes and usually
do not affect the operation of the performance monitoring hardware.
The original mapfile.csv matching requires enumerating every possible
cpuid string. When a new minor chip revision is produced a new entry
has to be added to the mapfile.csv and the code recompiled to allow perf
to have the implementation specific perf events for this new minor
revision. For users of various distibutions of Linux having to wait for
a new release of the kernel's perf tool to be built with these trivial
patches is inconvenient.
Using regular expressions rather than exactly string matching of the
entire cpuid string allows developers to write mapfile.csv files that do
not require patches and recompiles for each of these minor version
changes. If special cases need to be made for some particular versions,
they can be placed earlier in the mapfile.csv file before the more
general matches.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

But the perf tool does not seem to handle duplicates cleanly. 'perf

counting the first event code twice, multiplexing if necessary and we
end up with double the event counts.

This is a modified version of an earlier patch by Andi Kleen.
We expect architectures to create JSON files describing the performance
monitoring (PMU) events that each CPU model/family of the architecture
supports.
Following is an example of the JSON file entry for an x86 event:
[
...
{
"EventCode": "0x00",
"UMask": "0x01",
"EventName": "INST_RETIRED.ANY",
"BriefDescription": "Instructions retired from execution.",
"PublicDescription": "Instructions retired from execution.",
"Counter": "Fixed counter 1",
"CounterHTOff": "Fixed counter 1",
"SampleAfterValue": "2000003",
"SampleAfterValue": "2000003",
"MSRIndex": "0",
"MSRValue": "0",
"TakenAlone": "0",
"CounterMask": "0",
"Invert": "0",
"AnyThread": "0",
"EdgeDetect": "0",
"PEBS": "0",
"PRECISE_STORE": "0",
"Errata": "null",
"Offcore": "0"
},
...
]
All the PMU events supported by a CPU model/family must be grouped into
"topics" such as "Pipelining", "Floating-point", "Virtual-memory" etc.
All events belonging to a topic must be placed in a separate JSON file
(eg: "Pipelining.json") and all the topic JSON files for a CPU model must
be in a separate directory.
Eg: for the CPU model "Silvermont_core":
$ ls tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Silvermont_core
Floating-point.json
Memory.json
Other.json
Pipelining.json
Virtualmemory.json
Finally, to allow multiple CPU models to share a single set of JSON files,
architectures must provide a mapping between a model and its set of events:
$ grep Silvermont tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/mapfile.csv
GenuineIntel-6-4D,V13,Silvermont_core,core
GenuineIntel-6-4C,V13,Silvermont_core,core
which maps each CPU, identified by [vendor, family, model, version, type]
to a directory of JSON files. Thus two (or more) CPU models support the
set of PMU events listed in the directory.
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Silvermont_core/
Given this organization of files, the program, jevents:
- locates all JSON files for each CPU-model of the architecture,
- parses all JSON files for the CPU-model and generates a C-style
"PMU-events table" (pmu-events.c) for the model
- locates a mapfile for the architecture
- builds a global table, mapping each model of CPU to the corresponding
PMU-events table.
The 'pmu-events.c' is generated when building perf and added to libperf.a.
The global table pmu_events_map[] table in this pmu-events.c will be used
in perf in a follow-on patch.
If the architecture does not have any JSON files or there is an error in
processing them, an empty mapping file is created. This would allow the
build of perf to proceed even if we are not able to provide aliases for
events.
The parser for JSON files allows parsing Intel style JSON event files. This
allows to use an Intel event list directly with perf. The Intel event lists
can be quite large and are too big to store in unswappable kernel memory.
The conversion from JSON to C-style is straight forward. The parser knows
(very little) Intel specific information, and can be easily extended to
handle fields for other CPUs.
The parser code is partially shared with an independent parsing library,
which is 2-clause BSD licensed. To avoid any conflicts I marked those
files as BSD licensed too. As part of perf they become GPLv2.
Committer notes:
Fixes:
1) Limit maxfds to 512 to avoid nftd() segfaulting on alloca() with a
big rlim_max, as in docker containers - acme
2) Make jevents a hostprog, supporting cross compilation - jolsa
3) Use HOSTCC for jevents final step - acme
4) Define _GNU_SOURCE for asprintf, as we can't use CC's EXTRA_CFLAGS,
that has to have --sysroot on the Android NDK 24 - acme
5) Removed $(srctree)/tools/perf/pmu-events/pmu-events.c from the
'clean' target, it is generated on $(OUTPUT)pmu-events/pmu-events.c,
which is already taken care of in the original patch - acme

I need a JSON parser. This adds the simplest JSON parser I could find --
Serge Zaitsev's jsmn `jasmine' -- to the perf library. I merely
converted it to (mostly) Linux style and added support for non 0
terminated input.
The parser is quite straight forward and does not copy any data, just
returns tokens with offsets into the input buffer. So it's relatively
efficient and simple to use.
The code is not fully checkpatch clean, but I didn't want to completely
fork the upstream code.
Original source: http://zserge.bitbucket.org/jsmn.html
In addition I added a simple wrapper that mmaps a json file and provides
some straight forward access functions.
Used in follow-on patches to parse event files.
