For some old CPUs (HSW and earlier), the PEBS status in a PEBS record
may be mistakenly set to 0. To minimize the impact of the defect, the
commit was introduced to try to avoid dropping the PEBS record for some
cases. It adds a check in the intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm(), and updates
the local pebs_status accordingly. However, it doesn't correct the PEBS
status in the PEBS record, which may trigger the crash, especially for
the large PEBS.
It's possible that all the PEBS records in a large PEBS have the PEBS
status 0. If so, the first get_next_pebs_record_by_bit() in the
__intel_pmu_pebs_event() returns NULL. The at = NULL. Since it's a large
PEBS, the 'count' parameter must > 1. The second
get_next_pebs_record_by_bit() will crash.
Besides the local pebs_status, correct the PEBS status in the PEBS
record as well.

Add perf core PMU support for the Intel Sapphire Rapids server, which is
the successor of the Intel Ice Lake server. The enabling code is based
on Ice Lake, but there are several new features introduced.
The event encoding is changed and simplified, e.g., the event codes
which are below 0x90 are restricted to counters 0-3. The event codes
which above 0x90 are likely to have no restrictions. The event
constraints, extra_regs(), and hardware cache events table are changed
accordingly.
A new Precise Distribution (PDist) facility is introduced, which
further minimizes the skid when a precise event is programmed on the GP
counter 0. Enable the Precise Distribution (PDist) facility with :ppp
event. For this facility to work, the period must be initialized with a
value larger than 127. Add spr_limit_period() to apply the limit for
:ppp event.
Two new data source fields, data block & address block, are added in the
PEBS Memory Info Record for the load latency event. To enable the
feature,
- An auxiliary event has to be enabled together with the load latency
event on Sapphire Rapids. A new flag PMU_FL_MEM_LOADS_AUX is
introduced to indicate the case. A new event, mem-loads-aux, is
exposed to sysfs for the user tool.
Add a check in hw_config(). If the auxiliary event is not detected,
return an unique error -ENODATA.
- The union perf_mem_data_src is extended to support the new fields.
- Ice Lake and earlier models do not support block information, but the
fields may be set by HW on some machines. Add pebs_no_block to
explicitly indicate the previous platforms which don't support the new
block fields. Accessing the new block fields are ignored on those
platforms.
A new store Latency facility is introduced, which leverages the PEBS
facility where it can provide additional information about sampled
stores. The additional information includes the data address, memory
auxiliary info (e.g. Data Source, STLB miss) and the latency of the
store access. To enable the facility, the new event (0x02cd) has to be
programed on the GP counter 0. A new flag PERF_X86_EVENT_PEBS_STLAT is
introduced to indicate the event. The store_latency_data() is introduced
to parse the memory auxiliary info.
The layout of access latency field of PEBS Memory Info Record has been
changed. Two latency, instruction latency (bit 15:0) and cache access
latency (bit 47:32) are recorded.
- The cache access latency is similar to previous memory access latency.
For loads, the latency starts by the actual cache access until the
data is returned by the memory subsystem.
For stores, the latency starts when the demand write accesses the L1
data cache and lasts until the cacheline write is completed in the
memory subsystem.
The cache access latency is stored in low 32bits of the sample type
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.
- The instruction latency starts by the dispatch of the load operation
for execution and lasts until completion of the instruction it belongs
to.
Add a new flag PMU_FL_INSTR_LATENCY to indicate the instruction
latency support. The instruction latency is stored in the bit 47:32
of the sample type PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.
Extends the PERF_METRICS MSR to feature TMA method level 2 metrics. The
lower half of the register is the TMA level 1 metrics (legacy). The
upper half is also divided into four 8-bit fields for the new level 2
metrics. Expose all eight Topdown metrics events to user space.

Current PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type is very useful to expresses the
cost of an action represented by the sample. This allows the profiler
to scale the samples to be more informative to the programmer. It could
also help to locate a hotspot, e.g., when profiling by memory latencies,
the expensive load appear higher up in the histograms. But current
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type is solely determined by one factor. This
could be a problem, if users want two or more factors to contribute to
the weight. For example, Golden Cove core PMU can provide both the
instruction latency and the cache Latency information as factors for the
memory profiling.
For current X86 platforms, although meminfo::latency is defined as a
u64, only the lower 32 bits include the valid data in practice (No
memory access could last than 4G cycles). The higher 32 bits can be used
to store new factors.
Add a new sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, to indicate the new
sample weight structure. It shares the same space as the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type.
Users can apply either the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type or the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type to retrieve the sample weight, but
they cannot apply both sample types simultaneously.
Currently, only X86 and PowerPC use the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type.
- For PowerPC, there is nothing changed for the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT
sample type. There is no effect for the new PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT
sample type. PowerPC can re-struct the weight field similarly later.
- For X86, the same value will be dumped for the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT
sample type or the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type for now.
The following patches will apply the new factors for the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type.
The field in the union perf_sample_weight should be shared among
different architectures. A generic name is required, but it's hard to
abstract a name that applies to all architectures. For example, on X86,
the fields are to store all kinds of latency. While on PowerPC, it
stores MMCRA[TECX/TECM], which should not be latency. So a general name
prefix 'var$NUM' is used here.

The kernel cannot disambiguate when 2+ PEBS counters overflow at the
same time. This is what the comment for this code suggests. However,
I see the comparison is done with the unfiltered p->status which is a
copy of IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS at the time of the sample. This
register contains more than the PEBS counter overflow bits. It also
includes many other bits which could also be set.

The commit 3966c3feca ("x86/perf/amd: Remove need to check "running"
bit in NMI handler") introduced this. It seems x86_pmu_stop can be
called recursively (like when it losts some samples) like below:
x86_pmu_stop
intel_pmu_disable_event (x86_pmu_disable)
intel_pmu_pebs_disable
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm (x86_pmu_drain_pebs_buffer)
x86_pmu_stop
While commit 35d1ce6bec ("perf/x86/intel/ds: Fix x86_pmu_stop
warning for large PEBS") fixed it for the normal cases, there's
another path to call x86_pmu_stop() recursively when a PEBS error was
detected (like two or more counters overflowed at the same time).
Like in the Kan's previous fix, we can skip the interrupt accounting
for large PEBS, so check the iregs which is set for PMI only.

The new sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_PAGE_SIZE, requires the virtual
address. Update the data->addr if the sample type is set.
The large PEBS is disabled with the sample type, because perf doesn't
support munmap tracking yet. The PEBS buffer for large PEBS cannot be

PEBS can be enabled later separately when munmap tracking is supported.

In the non-overflow context, e.g., context switch, with large PEBS, perf

handle_pmi_common()
drain_pebs()
__intel_pmu_pebs_event()

return 0
//A context switch happens right after the NMI.
//In the same tick, the perf_throttled_seq is not changed.

task_ctx_sched_out()
ctx_sched_out()
event_sched_out()
x86_pmu_del()
x86_pmu_stop(); # Second stop and trigger the warning
Perf should only invoke the perf_event_overflow() in the overflow
context.
Current drain_pebs() is called from:
- handle_pmi_common() -- overflow context
- intel_pmu_pebs_sched_task() -- non-overflow context
- intel_pmu_pebs_disable() -- non-overflow context
- intel_pmu_auto_reload_read() -- possible overflow context
With PERF_SAMPLE_READ + PERF_FORMAT_GROUP, the function may be
invoked in the NMI handler. But, before calling the function, the
PEBS buffer has already been drained. The __intel_pmu_pebs_event()
will not be called in the possible overflow context.
To fix the issue, an indicator is required to distinguish between the
overflow context aka handle_pmi_common() and other cases.
The dummy regs pointer can be used as the indicator.
In the non-overflow context, perf should treat the last record the same
as other PEBS records, and doesn't invoke the generic overflow handler.

write_msr: MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL(38f), value f000000ff
When the same task schedule in again, the counter should starts from
previous left. However, it starts from the fixed period -2000000 again.
A special variant of intel_pmu_save_and_restart() is used for
auto-reload, which doesn't update the hwc->period_left.
When the monitored task schedules in again, perf doesn't know the left
period. The fixed period is used, which is inaccurate.
With auto-reload, the counter always has a negative counter value. So
the left period is -value. Update the period_left in
intel_pmu_save_and_restart_reload().

If PEBS declares ability to output its data to Intel PT stream, use the
aux_output attribute bit to enable PEBS data output to PT. This requires
a PT event to be present and scheduled in the same context. Unlike the
DS area, the kernel does not extract PEBS records from the PT stream to
generate corresponding records in the perf stream, because that would
require real time in-kernel PT decoding, which is not feasible. The PMI,
however, can still be used.
The output setting is per-CPU, so all PEBS events must be either writing
to PT or to the DS area, therefore, in case of conflict, the conflicting
event will fail to schedule, allowing the rotation logic to alternate
between the PEBS->PT and PEBS->DS events.

This patch fixes an bug revealed by the following commit:
6b89d4c1ae ("perf/x86/intel: Fix INTEL_FLAGS_EVENT_CONSTRAINT* masking")
That patch modified INTEL_FLAGS_EVENT_CONSTRAINT() to only look at the event code
when matching a constraint. If code+umask were needed, then the
INTEL_FLAGS_UEVENT_CONSTRAINT() macro was needed instead.
This broke with some of the constraints for PEBS events.
Several of them, including the one used for cycles:p, cycles:pp, cycles:ppp
fell in that category and caused the event to be rejected in PEBS mode.
In other words, on some platforms a cmdline such as:
$ perf top -e cycles:pp
would fail with -EINVAL.
This patch fixes this bug by properly using INTEL_FLAGS_UEVENT_CONSTRAINT()
when needed in the PEBS constraint tables.

Add Icelake core PMU perf code, including constraint tables and the main
enable code.
Icelake expanded the generic counters to always 8 even with HT on, but a
range of events cannot be scheduled on the extra 4 counters.
Add new constraint ranges to describe this to the scheduler.
The number of constraints that need to be checked is larger now than
with earlier CPUs.
At some point we may need a new data structure to look them up more
efficiently than with linear search. So far it still seems to be
acceptable however.
Icelake added a new fixed counter SLOTS. Full support for it is added
later in the patch series.
The cache events table is identical to Skylake.
Compare to PEBS instruction event on generic counter, fixed counter 0
has less skid. Force instruction:ppp always in fixed counter 0.

Adaptive PEBS is a new way to report PEBS sampling information. Instead
of a fixed size record for all PEBS events it allows to configure the
PEBS record to only include the information needed. Events can then opt
in to use such an extended record, or stay with a basic record which
only contains the IP.
The major new feature is to support LBRs in PEBS record.
Besides normal LBR, this allows (much faster) large PEBS, while still
supporting callstacks through callstack LBR. So essentially a lot of
profiling can now be done without frequent interrupts, dropping the
overhead significantly.
The main requirement still is to use a period, and not use frequency
mode, because frequency mode requires reevaluating the frequency on each
overflow.
The floating point state (XMM) is also supported, which allows efficient
profiling of FP function arguments.
Introduce specific drain function to handle variable length records.
Use a new callback to parse the new record format, and also handle the
STATUS field now being at a different offset.
Add code to set up the configuration register. Since there is only a
single register, all events either get the full super set of all events,
or only the basic record.

Starting from Icelake, XMM registers can be collected in PEBS record.
But current code only output the pt_regs.
Add a new struct x86_perf_regs for both pt_regs and xmm_regs. The
xmm_regs will be used later to keep a pointer to PEBS record which has
XMM information.
XMM registers are 128 bit. To simplify the code, they are handled like
two different registers, which means setting two bits in the register
bitmap. This also allows only sampling the lower 64bit bits in XMM.
The index of XMM registers starts from 32. There are 16 XMM registers.
So all reserved space for regs are used. Remove REG_RESERVED.
Add PERF_REG_X86_XMM_MAX, which stands for the max number of all x86
regs including both GPRs and XMM.
Add REG_NOSUPPORT for 32bit to exclude unsupported registers.
Previous platforms can not collect XMM information in PEBS record.
Adding pebs_no_xmm_regs to indicate the unsupported platforms.
The common code still validates the supported registers. However, it
cannot check model specific registers, e.g. XMM. Add extra check in
x86_pmu_hw_config() to reject invalid config of regs_user and regs_intr.
The regs_user never supports XMM collection.
The regs_intr only supports XMM collection when sampling PEBS event on
icelake and later platforms.

KVM added a workaround for PEBS events leaking into guests with
commit:
26a4f3c08d ("perf/x86: disable PEBS on a guest entry.")
This uses the VT entry/exit list to add an extra disable of the
PEBS_ENABLE MSR.
Intel also added a fix for this issue to microcode updates on
Haswell/Broadwell/Skylake.
It turns out using the MSR entry/exit list makes VM exits
significantly slower. The list is only needed for disabling
PEBS, because the GLOBAL_CTRL change gets optimized by
KVM into changing the VMCS.
Check for the microcode updates that have the microcode
fix for leaking PEBS, and disable the extra entry/exit list
entry for PEBS_ENABLE. In addition we always clear the
GLOBAL_CTRL for the PEBS counter while running in the guest,
which is enough to make them never fire at the wrong
side of the host/guest transition.
The overhead for VM exits with the filtering active with the patch is
reduced from 8% to 4%.
The microcode patch has already been merged into future platforms.
This patch is one-off thing. The quirks is used here.
For other old platforms which doesn't have microcode patch and quirks,
extra disable of the PEBS_ENABLE MSR is still required.

And where the previous unwinder only needed BP,SP ORC also requires
IP. But we cannot spoof IP because then the sample will get displaced,
entirely negating the point of PEBS.
So cure the whole thing differently by doing the unwind early; this
does however require a means to communicate we did the unwind early.
We (ab)use an unused sample_type bit for this, which we set on events
that fill out the data->callchain before the normal
perf_prepare_sample().

Markus reported that BTS is sporadically missing the tail of the trace
in the perf_event data buffer: [decode error (1): instruction overflow]
shown in GDB; and bisected it to the conversion of debug_store to PTI.
A little "optimization" crept into alloc_bts_buffer(), which mistakenly
placed bts_interrupt_threshold away from the 24-byte record boundary.
Intel SDM Vol 3B 17.4.9 says "This address must point to an offset from
the BTS buffer base that is a multiple of the BTS record size."
Revert "max" from a byte count to a record count, to calculate the
bts_interrupt_threshold correctly: which turns out to fix problem seen.

This patch removes a redundant store on regs->flags introduced
by commit:
71eb9ee959 ("perf/x86/intel: Fix linear IP of PEBS real_ip on Haswell and later CPUs")
We were clearing the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT but it was overwritten by
regs->flags = pebs->flags later on.
The PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT is a software flag using bit 3 of regs->flags.
X86 marks this bit as Reserved. To make sure this bit is zero before
we do any IP processing, we clear it explicitly.
Patch also removes the following assignment:
regs->flags = pebs->flags | (regs->flags & PERF_EFLAGS_VM);
Because there is no regs->flags to preserve anymore because
set_linear_ip() is not called until later.

[ Improve capitalization, punctuation and clarity of comments. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
this patch fix a bug in how the pebs->real_ip is handled in the PEBS
handler. real_ip only exists in Haswell and later processor. It is
actually the eventing IP, i.e., where the event occurred. As opposed
to the pebs->ip which is the PEBS interrupt IP which is always off
by one.
The problem is that the real_ip just like the IP needs to be fixed up
because PEBS does not record all the machine state registers, and
in particular the code segement (cs). This is why we have the set_linear_ip()
function. The problem was that set_linear_ip() was only used on the pebs->ip
and not the pebs->real_ip.
We have profiles which ran into invalid callstacks because of this.
Here is an example:
..... 0: ffffffffffffff80 recent entry, marker kernel v
..... 1: 000000000040044d <= user address in kernel space!
..... 2: fffffffffffffe00 marker enter user v
..... 3: 000000000040044d
..... 4: 00000000004004b6 oldest entry
Debugging output in get_perf_callchain():
[ 857.769909] CALLCHAIN: CPU8 ip=40044d regs->cs=10 user_mode(regs)=0
The problem is that the kernel entry in 1: points to a user level
address. How can that be?
The reason is that with PEBS sampling the instruction that caused the event
to occur and the instruction where the CPU was when the interrupt was posted
may be far apart. And sometime during that time window, the privilege level may
change. This happens, for instance, when the PEBS sample is taken close to a
kernel entry point. Here PEBS, eventing IP (real_ip) captured a user level
instruction. But by the time the PMU interrupt fired, the processor had already
entered kernel space. This is why the debug output shows a user address with
user_mode() false.
The problem comes from PEBS not recording the code segment (cs) register.
The register is used in x86_64 to determine if executing in kernel vs user
space. This is okay because the kernel has a software workaround called
set_linear_ip(). But the issue in setup_pebs_sample_data() is that
set_linear_ip() is never called on the real_ip value when it is available
(Haswell and later) and precise_ip > 1.
This patch fixes this problem and eliminates the callchain discrepancy.
The patch restructures the code around set_linear_ip() to minimize the number
of times the IP has to be set.

There is a bug when reading event->count with large PEBS enabled.
Here is an example:
# ./read_count
0x71f0
0x122c0
0x1000000001c54
0x100000001257d
0x200000000bdc5
In fixed period mode, the auto-reload mechanism could be enabled for
PEBS events, but the calculation of event->count does not take the
auto-reload values into account.
Anyone who reads event->count will get the wrong result, e.g x86_pmu_read().
This bug was introduced with the auto-reload mechanism enabled since
commit:
851559e35f ("perf/x86/intel: Use the PEBS auto reload mechanism when possible")
Introduce intel_pmu_save_and_restart_reload() to calculate the
event->count only for auto-reload.
Since the counter increments a negative counter value and overflows on
the sign switch, giving the interval:
[-period, 0]
the difference between two consequtive reads is:
A) value2 - value1;
when no overflows have happened in between,
B) (0 - value1) + (value2 - (-period));
when one overflow happened in between,
C) (0 - value1) + (n - 1) * (period) + (value2 - (-period));
when @n overflows happened in between.
Here A) is the obvious difference, B) is the extension to the discrete
interval, where the first term is to the top of the interval and the
second term is from the bottom of the next interval and C) the extension
to multiple intervals, where the middle term is the whole intervals
covered.
The equation for all cases is:
value2 - value1 + n * period
Previously the event->count is updated right before the sample output.
But for case A, there is no PEBS record ready. It needs to be specially
handled.
Remove the auto-reload code from x86_perf_event_set_period() since
we'll not longer call that function in this case.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
