Users may be interested in sampling SIMD registers during profiling.
The current sample_regs_* structure does not have sufficient space
for all SIMD registers.
To address this, new attribute fields sample_simd_{pred,vec}_reg_* are
added to struct perf_event_attr to represent the SIMD registers that are
expected to be sampled.
Currently, the perf/x86 code supports XMM registers in sample_regs_*.
To unify the configuration of SIMD registers and ensure a consistent
method for configuring XMM and other SIMD registers, a new event
attribute field, sample_simd_regs_enabled, is introduced. When
sample_simd_regs_enabled is set, it indicates that all SIMD registers,
including XMM, will be represented by the newly introduced
sample_simd_{pred|vec}_reg_* fields. The original XMM space in
sample_regs_* is reserved for future uses.
Since SIMD registers are wider than 64 bits, a new output format is
introduced. The number and width of SIMD registers are dumped first,
followed by the register values. The number and width are based on the
user's configuration.
A new ABI, PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD, is added to indicate the new format.
The enum perf_sample_regs_abi is now a bitmap. This change should not
impact existing tools, as the version and bitmap remain the same for
values 1 and 2.
Additionally, two new __weak functions are introduced:
- perf_simd_reg_value(): Retrieves the value of the requested SIMD
register.
- perf_simd_reg_validate(): Validates the configuration of the SIMD
registers.
A new flag, PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS, is added to indicate that the PMU
supports SIMD register dumping. An error is generated if
sample_simd_{pred|vec}_reg_* is mistakenly set for a PMU that does not
support this capability.
