Like # AutoFDO, Propeller uses hardware sampling to gather information # about the frequency of execution of different code paths within a # binary. This information is then used to guide the compiler's # optimization decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary. # # The support requires a Clang compiler LLVM 19 or later, and the # create_llvm_prof tool # (https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1). This # commit is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features # like LBR on Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS. # # Here is an example workflow for building an AutoFDO+Propeller # optimized kernel: # # 1) Build the kernel on the host machine, with AutoFDO and Propeller # build config # CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y # CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y # then # $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE= # # “” is the profile collected when doing a non-Propeller # AutoFDO build. This step builds a kernel that has the same optimization # level as AutoFDO, plus a metadata section that records basic block # information. This kernel image runs as fast as an AutoFDO optimized # kernel. # # 2) Install the kernel on test/production machines. # # 3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample # event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number, # like 500009, for this purpose. # For Intel platforms: # $ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c \ # -o -- # For AMD platforms: # The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2 # # To see if Zen3 support LBR: # $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs" # # To see if Zen4 support LBR: # $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2 # # If the result is yes, then collect the profile using: # $ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \ # -N -b -c -o -- # # 4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine. # # 5) Generate Propeller profile: # $ create_llvm_prof --binary= --profile= \ # --format=propeller --propeller_output_module_name \ # --out=_cc_profile.txt \ # --propeller_symorder=_ld_profile.txt # # “create_llvm_prof” is the profile conversion tool, and a prebuilt # binary for linux can be found on # https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1 (can also build # from source). # # "" can be something like # "/home/user/dir/any_string". # # This command generates a pair of Propeller profiles: # "_cc_profile.txt" and # "_ld_profile.txt". # # 6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO and Propeller profile files. # CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y # CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y # and # $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE= \ # CLANG_PROPELLER_PROFILE_PREFIX= # # Co-developed-by: Han Shen # Signed-off-by: Han Shen # Signed-off-by: Rong Xu # Suggested-by: Sriraman Tallam # Suggested-by: Krzysztof Pszeniczny # Suggested-by: Nick Desaulniers # Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian # Tested-by: Yonghong Song # Tested-by: Nathan Chancellor # Reviewed-by: Kees Cook # Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 0dcc2d1066150787017a71f035145c566597dec7 # make -s -j 160 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/kbuild_pseries_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- pseries_defconfig Using /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/ppc64_defconfig as base Merging /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/le.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/guest.config Value of CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK is redefined by fragment /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/guest.config: Previous value: CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m New value: CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y Value of CONFIG_SCSI_VIRTIO is redefined by fragment /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/guest.config: Previous value: CONFIG_SCSI_VIRTIO=m New value: CONFIG_SCSI_VIRTIO=y Value of CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET is redefined by fragment /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/guest.config: Previous value: CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=m New value: CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y Value of CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE is redefined by fragment /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/guest.config: Previous value: CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=m New value: CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=y Value of CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI is redefined by fragment /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/guest.config: Previous value: CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=m New value: CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=y Value of CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON is redefined by fragment /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/guest.config: Previous value: CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=m New value: CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=y Value of CONFIG_VHOST_NET is redefined by fragment /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/guest.config: Previous value: CONFIG_VHOST_NET=m New value: CONFIG_VHOST_NET=y Value of CONFIG_IBMVETH is redefined by fragment /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/guest.config: Previous value: CONFIG_IBMVETH=m New value: CONFIG_IBMVETH=y Value of CONFIG_IBMVNIC is redefined by fragment /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/guest.config: Previous value: CONFIG_IBMVNIC=m New value: CONFIG_IBMVNIC=y Merging /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/kvm_guest.config # # merged configuration written to .config (needs make) # # < make -s -j 160 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/kbuild_pseries_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 160 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/kbuild_pseries_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 160 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/kbuild_pseries_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/kbuild_pseries_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 # Build took: 0:03:34.075642
