powerpc/perf/24x7: Eliminate domain suffix in event names
The Physical Core events of the 24x7 PMU can be monitored across various domains (physical core, vcpu home core, vcpu home node etc). For each of these core events, we currently create multiple events in sysfs, one for each domain the event can be monitored in. These events are distinguished by their suffixes like __PHYS_CORE, __VCPU_HOME_CORE etc. Rather than creating multiple such entries, we could let the user specify make 'domain' index a required parameter and let the user specify a value for it (like they currently specify the core index). $ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/hv_24x7/events/HPM_CCYC domain=?,offset=0x98,core=?,lpar=0x0 $ perf stat -C 0 -e hv_24x7/HPM_CCYC,domain=2,core=1/ true (the 'domain=?' and 'core=?' in sysfs tell perf tool to enforce them as required parameters). This simplifies the interface and allows users to identify events by the name specified in the catalog (User can determine the domain index by referring to '/sys/bus/event_source/devices/hv_24x7/interface/domains'). Eliminating the event suffix eliminates several functions and simplifies code. Note that Physical Chip events can only be monitored in the chip domain so those events have the domain set to 1 (rather than =?) and users don't need to specify the domain index for the Chip events. $ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/hv_24x7/events/PM_XLINK_CYCLES domain=1,offset=0x230,chip=?,lpar=0x0 $ perf stat -C 0 -e hv_24x7/PM_XLINK_CYCLES,chip=1/ true Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
