[PATCH] MIPS: Loongson: Add support for perf tool

From: Tiezhu Yang
Date: Sun Apr 26 2020 - 05:31:37 EST


In order to use perf tool on the Loongson platform, we should enable kernel
support for various performance events provided by software and hardware,
so add CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y to loongson3_defconfig.

E.g. without this patch:

[loongson@localhost perf]$ ./perf list

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

duration_time [Tool event]

rNNN [Raw hardware event descriptor]
cpu/t1=v1[,t2=v2,t3 ...]/modifier [Raw hardware event descriptor]
(see 'man perf-list' on how to encode it)

mem:<addr>[/len][:access] [Hardware breakpoint]

With this patch:

[loongson@localhost perf]$ ./perf list

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event]
branch-misses [Hardware event]
cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event]
instructions [Hardware event]

alignment-faults [Software event]
bpf-output [Software event]
context-switches OR cs [Software event]
cpu-clock [Software event]
cpu-migrations OR migrations [Software event]
dummy [Software event]
emulation-faults [Software event]
major-faults [Software event]
minor-faults [Software event]
page-faults OR faults [Software event]
task-clock [Software event]

duration_time [Tool event]

L1-dcache-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-store-misses [Hardware cache event]
L1-icache-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
branch-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
branch-loads [Hardware cache event]
dTLB-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
dTLB-store-misses [Hardware cache event]
iTLB-load-misses [Hardware cache event]

rNNN [Raw hardware event descriptor]
cpu/t1=v1[,t2=v2,t3 ...]/modifier [Raw hardware event descriptor]
(see 'man perf-list' on how to encode it)

mem:<addr>[/len][:access] [Hardware breakpoint]
