perf/x86/intel: Correct incorrect 'or' operation for PMU capabilities
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When running perf-stat command on Intel hybrid platform, perf-stat
reports the following errors:

  sudo taskset -c 7 ./perf stat -vvvv -e cpu_atom/instructions/ sleep 1

  Opening: cpu/cycles/:HG
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  perf_event_attr:
    type                             0 (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE)
    config                           0xa00000000
    disabled                         1
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  sys_perf_event_open: pid 0  cpu -1  group_fd -1  flags 0x8
  sys_perf_event_open failed, error -16

   Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

       <not counted>      cpu_atom/instructions/

It looks the cpu_atom/instructions/ event can't be enabled on atom PMU
even when the process is pinned on atom core. Investigation shows that
exclusive_event_init() helper always returns -EBUSY error in the perf
event creation. That's strange since the atom PMU should not be an
exclusive PMU.

Further investigation shows the issue was introduced by commit:

  97588df ("perf/x86/intel: Add common intel_pmu_init_hybrid()")

The commit originally intents to clear the bit PERF_PMU_CAP_AUX_OUTPUT
from PMU capabilities if intel_cap.pebs_output_pt_available is not set,
but it incorrectly uses 'or' operation and leads to all PMU capabilities
bits are set to 1 except bit PERF_PMU_CAP_AUX_OUTPUT.

Testing this fix on Intel hybrid platforms, the observed issues
disappear.
