perf/x86/intel: Fix inaccurate period in context switch for auto-reload
Perf doesn't take the left period into account when auto-reload is
enabled with fixed period sampling mode in context switch.
Here is the MSR trace of the perf command as below.
(The MSR trace is simplified from a ftrace log.)
#perf record -e cycles:p -c 2000000 -- ./triad_loop
//The MSR trace of task schedule out
//perf disable all counters, disable PEBS, disable GP counter 0,
//read GP counter 0, and re-enable all counters.
//The counter 0 stops at 0xfffffff82840
write_msr: MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL(38f), value 0
write_msr: MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE(3f1), value 0
write_msr: MSR_P6_EVNTSEL0(186), value 40003003c
rdpmc: 0, value fffffff82840
write_msr: MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL(38f), value f000000ff
//The MSR trace of the same task schedule in again
//perf disable all counters, enable and set GP counter 0,
//enable PEBS, and re-enable all counters.
//0xffffffe17b80 (-2000000) is written to GP counter 0.
write_msr: MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL(38f), value 0
write_msr: MSR_IA32_PMC0(4c1), value ffffffe17b80
write_msr: MSR_P6_EVNTSEL0(186), value 40043003c
write_msr: MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE(3f1), value 1
write_msr: MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL(38f), value f000000ff
When the same task schedule in again, the counter should starts from
previous left. However, it starts from the fixed period -2000000 again.
A special variant of intel_pmu_save_and_restart() is used for
auto-reload, which doesn't update the hwc->period_left.
When the monitored task schedules in again, perf doesn't know the left
period. The fixed period is used, which is inaccurate.
With auto-reload, the counter always has a negative counter value. So
the left period is -value. Update the period_left in
intel_pmu_save_and_restart_reload().
With the patch:
