Reserve some bits in the counter config namespace which will carry the
tile id and prepare the code to handle this.

No per tile counters have been added yet.

v2:
- Fix checkpatch issues
- Use 4 bits for gt id in non-engine counters. Drop FIXME.
- Set MAX GTs to 4. Drop FIXME.

u32 enable & u64 frequency_enabled_mask

ugly but ok I guess? Or change enable to u64?

making pmu->enable u64 as well as other places where it is assigned to
local variables.


Hmm.. yes very ugly. Could have been an accident which happened to work
because there is a single timer (not per tile).

Happened to work because the frequency mask does not spill over to the
upper 32 bits (even for multi tile).

--------------------- START_SECTION ----------------

Similar issue in frequency_sampling_enabled too. Gt_id argument to it
seems pointless.

Not sure why it's pointless. We need the gt_id to determine the right
mask for that specific gt. If it's not enabled, then we just return
without pm_get and async put (like you mention later).
And this piece of code is called within for_each_gt.

I think I got a little confused cross referencing the code and patches last
week and did not mentally see all the changes.

Because the hunk in other_bit() is correctly adding support for per gt bits.

The layout of pmu->enable ends up like this:

bits  0 -  2: engine events
bits  3 -  5: gt0 other events
bits  6 -  8: gt1 other events
bits  9 - 11: gt2 other events
bits 12 - 14: gt3 other events

Correct.


So I now think whole frequency_enabled_mask() is just pointless and
should be removed. And then pmu_needs_time code can stay as is. Possibly
add a config_mask_32 helper which ensures no bits in upper 32 bits are
returned.

That is if we are happy for the frequency_sampling_enabled returning
true for all gts, regardless of which ones actually have frequency
sampling enabled.

Or if we want to implement it as I probably have intended, we will need
to add some gt bits into pmu->enable. Maybe reserve top four same as
with config counters.

Nope. What you have here works just fine. pmu->enable should not include
any gt id info. gt_id[63:60] is only a concept for pmu config sent by
user.  config_mask and pmu->enable are i915 internal bookkeeping (bit
masks) just to track what events need to be sampled.  The 'other' bit
masks are a function of gt_id because we use gt_id to calculate a
contiguous numerical value for these 'other' events. That's all. Once the
numerical value is calculated, there is no need for gt_id because
config_mask is BIT_ULL(numerical_value). Since the numerical values never
exceeded 31 (even for multi-gts), everything worked even with 32 bit
pmu->enable.

Yep.

So question then is why make pmu->enable u64?

The only reason was simplicity, since a lot of the existing code already
assumes u64.

E.g. if we keep pmu->enable u32, we should have to do the following:

* Change config_mask() return type to u32 (in frequency_sampling_enabled(),
   we have 'pmu->enable & config_mask()')
* Change frequency_enabled_mask() return type to u32 (again uses
   config_mask() so if we change config_mask() to u32 we change return type
   here too)
* In i915_pmu_enable(), change 'pmu->enable |= BIT_ULL(bit)' to
   'pmu->enable |= BIT(bit)'

So yes, if we think we should be using pmu->enable u32, let's change this
to be consistent everywhere.

Instead frequency_enabled_mask() should be made u32 since the bitwise or
composition of config_masks() is guaranteed to fit.

At most it can have an internal u64 for the mask, assert upper_32_bits are
zero and return lower_32_bits.

Did I get it right this time round? :)

Yes, though we'd have to make the config_mask() type change above to make
frequency_enabled_mask() u32. Or we can just keep everything u64. Let's
decide one way or the other and close this. It seems Tvrtko is leaning
towards making pmu->enable and frequency_enabled_mask() u32?

I think so. Since it seems u64 for config_mask() was a mistake from the start lets fix it up. I can send a patch to do that if easier?

Tvrtko
