3c83658ca9 powerpc/perf: Add e6500 PMU driver
e6500 core performance monitors has the following features:
- 6 performance monitor counters
- 512 events supported
- no threshold events

e6500 PMU has more specific events (Data L1 cache misses, Instruction L1
cache misses, etc ) than e500 PMU (which only had Data L1 cache reloads,
etc). Where available, the more specific events have been used which will
produce slightly different results than e500 PMU equivalents.

96c3c9e78f powerpc/perf: increase the perf HW events to 6
This change is required after the e6500 perf support has been added.
There are 6 counters in e6500 core instead of 4 in e500 core and
the MAX_HWEVENTS counter should be changed accordingly from 4 to 6.
Added also runtime check for counters overflow.

ff3d79dc12 powerpc/perf: BHRB filter configuration should follow the task
When the task moves around the system, the corresponding cpuhw
per cpu strcuture should be popullated with the BHRB filter
request value so that PMU could be configured appropriately with

7689bdcab1 powerpc/perf: Ignore separate BHRB privilege state filter request
Completely ignore BHRB privilege state filter request as we are
already configuring that with privilege state filtering attribute
for the accompanying PMU event. This would help achieve cleaner
user space interaction for BHRB.

This patch fixes a situation like this

Before patch:-
------------
./perf record -j any -e branch-misses:k ls
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 95 (Operation not
supported) for event (branch-misses:k).
/bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

Here 'perf record' actually copies over ':k' filter request into BHRB
privilege state filter config and our previous check in kernel would
fail that.

After patch:-
-------------
./perf record -j any -e branch-misses:k ls
perf  perf.data  perf.data.old  test-mmap-ring
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB perf.data (~102 samples)]

5d7ead0039 powerpc/perf: Set PPC_FEATURE2_EBB when we register the power8 PMU
The presence or absence of EBB is advertised to userspace via the presence
or absence of PPC_FEATURE2_EBB in cpu_user_features2.

Because the kernel can be built without PMU support, we should only add
PPC_FEATURE2_EBB to cpu_user_features2 when we successfully register the
power8 PMU support.

7e40c92019 perf tools: fix a typo of a Power7 event name
In the Power7 PMU guide:
https://www.power.org/documentation/commonly-used-metrics-for-performance-analysis/
PM_BRU_MPRED is referred to as PM_BR_MPRED.

It fixed the typo by changing the name of the event in kernel and
documentation accordingly.

This patch changes the ABI, there are some reasons I think it's ok:

- It is relatively new interface, specific to the Power7 platform.

- No tools that we know of actually use this interface at this point
 (none are listed near the interface).

- Users of this interface (eg oprofile users migrating to perf)
  would be more used to the "PM_BR_MPRED" rather than "PM_BRU_MPRED".

- These are in the ABI/testing at this point rather than ABI/stable,
  so hoping we have some wiggle room.

 "This is the powerpc changes for the 3.11 merge window.  In addition to
  the usual bug fixes and small updates, the main highlights are:

   - Support for transparent huge pages by Aneesh Kumar for 64-bit
     server processors.  This allows the use of 16M pages as transparent
     huge pages on kernels compiled with a 64K base page size.

   - Base VFIO support for KVM on power by Alexey Kardashevskiy

   - Wiring up of our nvram to the pstore infrastructure, including
     putting compressed oopses in there by Aruna Balakrishnaiah

   - Move, rework and improve our "EEH" (basically PCI error handling
     and recovery) infrastructure.  It is no longer specific to pseries
     but is now usable by the new "powernv" platform as well (no
     hypervisor) by Gavin Shan.

   - I fixed some bugs in our math-emu instruction decoding and made it
     usable to emulate some optional FP instructions on processors with
     hard FP that lack them (such as fsqrt on Freescale embedded
     processors).

   - Support for Power8 "Event Based Branch" facility by Michael
     Ellerman.  This facility allows what is basically "userspace
     interrupts" for performance monitor events.

   - A bunch of Transactional Memory vs.  Signals bug fixes and HW
     breakpoint/watchpoint fixes by Michael Neuling.

  And more ...  I appologize in advance if I've failed to highlight
  something that somebody deemed worth it."

Add logic to the power8 PMU code to support EBB. Future processors would
also be expected to implement similar constraints. At that time we could
possibly factor these out into common code.

Finally mark the power8 PMU as supporting EBB, which is the actual

330a1eb777 powerpc/perf: Core EBB support for 64-bit book3s
Add support for EBB (Event Based Branches) on 64-bit book3s. See the
included documentation for more details.

EBBs are a feature which allows the hardware to branch directly to a
specified user space address when a PMU event overflows. This can be
used by programs for self-monitoring with no kernel involvement in the
inner loop.

Most of the logic is in the generic book3s code, primarily to avoid a
proliferation of PMU callbacks.

378a6ee99e powerpc/perf: Rework disable logic in pmu_disable()
In pmu_disable() we disable the PMU by setting the FC (Freeze Counters)
bit in MMCR0. In order to do this we have to read/modify/write MMCR0.

It's possible that we read a value from MMCR0 which has PMAO (PMU Alert
Occurred) set. When we write that value back it will cause an interrupt
to occur. We will then end up in the PMU interrupt handler even though
we are supposed to have just disabled the PMU.

We can avoid this by making sure we never write PMAO back. We should not
lose interrupts because when the PMU is re-enabled the overflowed values
will cause another interrupt.

We also reorder the clearing of SAMPLE_ENABLE so that is done after the
PMU is frozen. Otherwise there is a small window between the clearing of
SAMPLE_ENABLE and the setting of FC where we could take an interrupt and
incorrectly see SAMPLE_ENABLE not set. This would for example change the
logic in perf_read_regs().

d8bec4c9cd powerpc/perf: Check that events only include valid bits on Power8
A mistake we have made in the past is that we pull out the fields we
need from the event code, but don't check that there are no unknown bits
set. This means that we can't ever assign meaning to those unknown bits
in future.

Although we have once again failed to do this at release, it is still
early days for Power8 so I think we can still slip this in and get away
with it.

061d19f279 powerpc: Delete __cpuinit usage from all users
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the powerpc uses of the __cpuinit macros.  There
are no __CPUINIT users in assembly files in powerpc.

6772faa1ba powerpc/perf: Fix deadlock caused by calling printk() in PMU exception
In commit bc09c21 "Fix finding overflowed PMC in interrupt" we added
a printk() to the PMU exception handler. Unfortunately that is not safe.

The problem is that the PMU exception may run even when interrupts are
soft disabled, aka NMI context. We do this so that we can profile parts
of the kernel that have interrupts soft-disabled.

But by calling printk() from the exception handler, we can potentially
deadlock in the printk code on logbuf_lock, eg:

691231846c powerpc/perf: Fix setting of "to" addresses for BHRB
Currently we only set the "to" address in the branch stack when the CPU
explicitly gives us a value.  Unfortunately it only does this for XL form
branches (eg blr, bctr, bctar) and not I and B form branches (eg b, bc).

Fortunately if we read the instruction from memory we can extract the offset of
a branch and calculate the target address.

This adds a function power_pmu_bhrb_to() to calculate the target/to address of
the corresponding I and B form branches.  It handles branches in both user and
kernel spaces.  It also plumbs this into the perf brhb reading code.

506e70d132 powerpc/pmu: Fix order of interpreting BHRB target entries
The current Branch History Rolling Buffer (BHRB) code misinterprets the order
of entries in the hardware buffer.  It assumes that a branch target address
will be read _after_ its corresponding branch.  In reality the branch target
comes before (lower mfbhrb entry) it's corresponding branch.

This is a rewrite of the code to take this into account.

3925f46bb5 powerpc/perf: Enable branch stack sampling framework
Provides basic enablement for perf branch stack sampling framework on
POWER8 processor based platforms. Adds new BHRB related elements into
cpu_hw_event structure to represent current BHRB config, BHRB filter
configuration, manage context and to hold output BHRB buffer during
PMU interrupt before passing to the user space. This also enables
processing of BHRB data and converts them into generic perf branch
stack data format.

7a7868326d powerpc/perf: Add an explict flag indicating presence of SLOT field
In perf_ip_adjust() we potentially use the MMCRA[SLOT] field to adjust
the reported IP of a sampled instruction.

Currently the logic is written so that if the backend does NOT have
the PPMU_ALT_SIPR flag set then we assume MMCRA[SLOT] exists.

However on power8 we do not want to set ALT_SIPR (it's in a third
location), and we also do not have MMCRA[SLOT].

So add a new flag which only indicates whether MMCRA[SLOT] exists.

Naively we'd set it on everything except power6/7, because they set
ALT_SIPR, and we've reversed the polarity of the flag. But it's more
complicated than that.

mpc7450 is 32-bit, and uses its own version of perf_ip_adjust()
which doesn't use MMCRA[SLOT], so it doesn't need the new flag set and
the behaviour is unchanged.

PPC970 (and I assume power4) don't have MMCRA[SLOT], so shouldn't have
the new flag set. This is a behaviour change on those cpus, though we
were probably getting lucky and the bits in question were 0.

power5 and power5+ set the new flag, behaviour unchanged.

power6 & power7 do not set the new flag, behaviour unchanged.

perf/Power: PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE does not reenable event

If we disable a perf event because we exceeded the specified ->event_limit,
power_pmu_stop() sets the PERF_HES_STOPPED flag on the event.

If the application then re-enables the event using PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE
ioctl, we don't ever clear this STOPPED flag. Consequently, the user space
is never notified of the event.

e13e895f84 powerpc/perf: Fix for PMCs not making progress
On POWER7 when we have really small counts left before overflow, we can take a
PMU IRQ, but the PMC gets wound back to just before the overflow.

If the kernel is setting the PMC to a value just before the overflow, we can
get interrupted again without the PMC making any progress (ie another buggy
overflow).  In this case, we can end up making no forward progress, with the
PMC interrupt returning us to the same count over and over.

The below detects when we are making no forward progress (ie. delta = 0) and
then increases the amount left before the overflow.  This stops us from locking
up.

bc09c219b2 powerpc/perf: Fix finding overflowed PMC in interrupt
If a PMC is about to overflow on a counter that's on an active perf event
(ie. less than 256 from the end) and a _different_ PMC overflows just at this
time (a PMC that's not on an active perf event), we currently mark the event as
found, but in reality it's not as it's likely the other PMC that caused the
IRQ.  Since we mark it as found the second catch all for overflows doesn't run,
and we don't reset the overflowing PMC ever.  Hence we keep hitting that same
PMC IRQ over and over and don't reset the actual overflowing counter.

This is a rewrite of the perf interrupt handler for book3s to get around this.
We now check to see if any of the PMCs have actually overflowed (ie >=
0x80000000).  If yes, record it for active counters and just reset it for
inactive counters.  If it's not overflowed, then we check to see if it's one of
the buggy power7 counters and if it is, record it and continue.  If none of the
PMCs match this, then we make note that we couldn't find the PMC that caused
the IRQ.

bits in MMCR1 then we can not schedule those events simultaneously. Add
logic to the constraint handling to express that.

72523d8082 Revert "powerpc/perf: Use pmc_overflow() to detect rolled back events"
This reverts commit 813312110b.

This revert was requested by the author of the patch as it seems
to cause system hangs with some low frequency events

e6878835ac powerpc/perf: Sample only if SIAR-Valid bit is set in P7+
powerpc/perf: Sample only if SIAR-Valid bit is set in P7+

On POWER7+ two new bits (mmcra[35] and mmcra[36]) indicate whether the
contents of SIAR and SDAR are valid.

For marked instructions on P7+, we must save the contents of SIAR and
SDAR registers only if these new bits are set.

This code/check for the SIAR-Valid bit is specific to P7+, so rather than
waste a CPU-feature bit use the PVR flag.

Note that Carl Love proposed a similar change for oprofile:
