682 * bperf: share hardware PMCs with BPF
683 *
684 * perf uses performance monitoring counters (PMC) to monitor system
685 * performance. The PMCs are limited hardware resources. For example,
686 * Intel CPUs have 3x fixed PMCs and 4x programmable PMCs per cpu.
687 *
688 * Modern data center systems use these PMCs in many different ways:
689 * system level monitoring, (maybe nested) container level monitoring, per
690 * process monitoring, profiling (in sample mode), etc. In some cases,
691 * there are more active perf_events than available hardware PMCs. To allow
692 * all perf_events to have a chance to run, it is necessary to do expensive
693 * time multiplexing of events.
694 *
695 * On the other hand, many monitoring tools count the common metrics
696 * (cycles, instructions). It is a waste to have multiple tools create
697 * multiple perf_events of "cycles" and occupy multiple PMCs.
698 *
699 * bperf tries to reduce such wastes by allowing multiple perf_events of
700 * "cycles" or "instructions" (at different scopes) to share PMUs. Instead
701 * of having each perf-stat session to read its own perf_events, bperf uses
702 * BPF programs to read the perf_events and aggregate readings to BPF maps.
703 * Then, the perf-stat session(s) reads the values from these BPF maps.

729 * The figure above shows the architecture of bperf. Note that the figure
730 * is divided into 3 regions: shared progs and maps (top left), per session
731 * progs and maps (top right), and user space (bottom).
732 *
733 * The leader prog is triggered on each context switch (cs). The leader
734 * prog reads perf_events and stores the difference (current_reading -
735 * previous_reading) to the diff map. For the same metric, e.g. "cycles",
736 * multiple perf-stat sessions share the same leader prog.
737 *
738 * Each perf-stat session creates a follower prog as fexit program to the
739 * leader prog. It is possible to attach up to BPF_MAX_TRAMP_PROGS (38)
740 * follower progs to the same leader prog. The follower prog checks current
741 * task and processor ID to decide whether to add the value from the diff
742 * map to its accumulated reading map (accum_readings).
743 *
744 * Finally, perf-stat user space reads the value from accum_reading map.
745 *
746 * Besides context switch, it is also necessary to trigger the leader prog
747 * before perf-stat reads the value. Otherwise, the accum_reading map may
748 * not have the latest reading from the perf_events. This is achieved by
749 * triggering the event via sys_bpf(BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN) to each CPU.
750 *
751 * Comment before the definition of struct perf_event_attr_map_entry
752 * describes how different sessions of perf-stat share information about
753 * the leader prog.
