powerpc/perf: Define big-endian version of perf_mem_data_src
perf_mem_data_src is a union that is initialized in the kernel via the ->val field and accessed by userspace via the mem_xxx bitfields. For this to work correctly on big endian platforms, we need a big-endian definition for the bitfields. Currently on a big endian system, if a user requests PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC (perf report -d), they will get the default value from perf_sample_data_init(), which is PERF_MEM_NA. The value for PERF_MEM_NA is constructed using shifts: /* TLB access */ #define PERF_MEM_TLB_NA 0x01 /* not available */ ... #define PERF_MEM_TLB_SHIFT 26 #define PERF_MEM_S(a, s) \ (((__u64)PERF_MEM_##a##_##s) << PERF_MEM_##a##_SHIFT) #define PERF_MEM_NA (PERF_MEM_S(OP, NA) |\ PERF_MEM_S(LVL, NA) |\ PERF_MEM_S(SNOOP, NA) |\ PERF_MEM_S(LOCK, NA) |\ PERF_MEM_S(TLB, NA)) Which works out as: ((0x01 << 0) | (0x01 << 5) | (0x01 << 19) | (0x01 << 24) | (0x01 << 26)) Which means the PERF_MEM_NA value comes out of the kernel as 0x5080021 in CPU endian. But then in the perf tool, the code uses the bitfields to inspect the value, and currently the bitfields are defined using little endian ordering. So eg. in perf_mem__tlb_scnprintf() we see: data_src->val = 0x5080021 op = 0x0 lvl = 0x0 snoop = 0x0 lock = 0x0 dtlb = 0x0 rsvd = 0x5080021 Because of the way the perf tool code is written this is still displayed to the user as "N/A", so there is no bug visible at the UI level. Currently there are no big endian architectures which export a meaningful value (ie. other than PERF_MEM_NA), so the extent of the bug on big endian platforms is that the PERF_MEM_NA value is exported incorrectly as described above. Subsequent patches will add support on big endian powerpc for populating the data source value. This patch does a minimal fix of adding big endian definition of the bitfields to match the values that are already exported by the kernel on big endian. And it makes no change on little endian.
