2015-08-24perf tools: Add Intel PT support for decoding TRACESTOP packetsGravatar Adrian Hunter 1-0/+11
A TRACESTOP packet is produced when an Intel PT trace enters a defined region of the address space at which point the tracing stops. This patch just adds decoder support. Support for specifying TRACESTOP regions is left until later. For details refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

2015-08-24perf tools: Add Intel PT support for decoding CYC packetsGravatar Adrian Hunter 1-5/+306
CYC packets provide even finer grain timestamp information than MTC and TSC packets. A CYC packet contains the number of CPU cycles since the last CYC packet. This patch just adds decoder support. The CPU frequency can be related to TSC using the Maximum Non-Turbo Ratio in combination with the CBR (core-to-bus ratio) packet. However more accuracy is achieved by simply interpolating the number of cycles between other timing packets like MTC or TSC. This patch takes the latter approach. Support for a default value and validation of values is provided by a later patch. Also documentation is updated in a separate patch. For details refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

2015-08-24perf tools: Add Intel PT support for decoding MTC packetsGravatar Adrian Hunter 2-4/+159
MTC packets provide finer grain timestamp information than TSC packets. MTC packets record time using the hardware crystal clock (CTC) which is related to TSC packets using a TMA packet. This patch just adds decoder support. Support for a default value and validation of values is provided by a later patch. Also documentation is updated in a separate patch. For details refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

2015-08-24perf tools: Pass Intel PT information for decoding MTC and CYCGravatar Adrian Hunter 1-0/+3
Record additional information in the AUXTRACE_INFO event in preparation for decoding MTC and CYC packets. Pass the information to the decoder. The AUXTRACE_INFO record can be extended by using the size to indicate the presence of new members. The additional information includes PMU config bit positions and the TSC to CTC (hardware crystal clock) ratio needed to decode MTC packets.

2015-08-24perf tools: Add new Intel PT packet definitionsGravatar Adrian Hunter 3-17/+201
New features have been added to Intel PT which include a number of new packet definitions. This patch adds packet definitions for new packets: TMA, MTC, CYC, VMCS, TRACESTOP and MNT. Also another bit in PIP is defined. This patch only adds support for the definitions. Later patches add support for decoding TMA, MTC, CYC and TRACESTOP which is where those packets are explained. VMCS and the newly defined bit in PIP are used with virtualization which is not supported yet. MNT is a maintenance packet which the decoder should ignore. For details, refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

2015-08-24perf tools: Fix Intel PT 'instructions' sample periodGravatar Adrian Hunter 2-0/+4
The period on synthesized 'instructions' samples was being set to a fixed value, whereas the correct value is the number of instructions since the last sample, which is a value that the decoder can provide. So do it that way.

2015-08-17perf tools: Add Intel PT decoderGravatar Adrian Hunter 3-1/+1921
Add support for decoding an Intel Processor Trace. Intel PT trace data must be 'decoded' which involves walking the object code and matching the trace data packets. The decoder requests a buffer of binary data via a get_trace() call-back, which it decodes using instruction information which it gets via another call-back walk_insn().

2015-08-17perf tools: Add Intel PT logGravatar Adrian Hunter 3-1/+208
Add a facility to log Intel Processor Trace decoding. The log is intended for debugging purposes only. The log file name is "intel_pt.log" and is opened in the current directory. The log contains a record of all packets and instructions decoded and can get very large (10 MB would be a small one).

2015-08-17perf tools: Add Intel PT instruction decoderGravatar Adrian Hunter 9-1/+2790
Add support for decoding instructions for Intel Processor Trace. The kernel x86 instruction decoder is copied for this. This essentially provides intel_pt_get_insn() which takes a binary buffer, uses the kernel's x86 instruction decoder to get details of the instruction and then categorizes it for consumption by an Intel PT decoder.
