Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

XMM registers can be collected on Icelake and later platforms. Add specific arch__intr_reg_mask(), which creating an event to check if the kernel and hardware can collect XMM registers. Test on Skylake which doesn't support XMM registers collection. There is nothing changed. #perf record -I? available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15 Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -I, --intr-regs[=<any register>] sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '-I?' to list register names #perf record -I [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.905 MB perf.data (2520 samples) ] #perf evlist -v cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|REGS_INTR, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, sample_regs_intr: 0xff0fff Test on Icelake which support XMM registers collection. #perf record -I? available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15 XMM0 XMM1 XMM2 XMM3 XMM4 XMM5 XMM6 XMM7 XMM8 XMM9 XMM10 XMM11 XMM12 XMM13 XMM14 XMM15 Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -I, --intr-regs[=<any register>] sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '-I?' to list register names #perf record -I [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.800 MB perf.data (318 samples) ] #perf evlist -v cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|REGS_INTR, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, sample_regs_intr: 0xffffffff00ff0fff Committer notes: Don't set attr.sample_period as a named struct init, as it is part of an unnamed union in 'struct perf_event_attr', and doing so breaks the build on older gcc versions, such as: gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-55) gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-23) (GCC) arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c: In function 'arch__intr_reg_mask': arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:279: error: unknown field 'sample_period' specified in initializer cc1: warnings being treated as errors arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:279: warning: missing braces around initializer arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:279: warning: (near initialization for 'attr.<anonymous>') Signed-off-by:Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> [ Only on a lenovo t480s, a skylake machine, where the XMM registers didn't show up in -I?/--user-regs=? as expected ] Tested-by:
