PEBS_REGS used as mask for the supported registers for large PEBS.
However, the mask cannot filter the sample_regs_user/sample_regs_intr
correctly.
(1ULL << PERF_REG_X86_*) should be used to replace PERF_REG_X86_*, which
is only the index.
Rename PEBS_REGS to PEBS_GP_REGS, because the mask is only for general
purpose registers.

The flag PERF_X86_EVENT_COMMITTED is used to find uncommitted events
for which to call put_event_constraint() when scheduling fails.
These are the newly added events to the list, and must form, per
definition, the tail of cpuc->event_list[]. By computing the list
index of the last successfull schedule, then iteration can start there
and the flag is redundant.
There are only 3 callers of x86_schedule_events(), notably:
- x86_pmu_add()
- x86_pmu_commit_txn()
- validate_group()
For x86_pmu_add(), cpuc->n_events isn't updated until after
schedule_events() succeeds, therefore cpuc->n_events points to the
desired index.
For x86_pmu_commit_txn(), cpuc->n_events is updated, but we can
trivially compute the desired value with cpuc->n_txn -- the number of
events added in this transaction.
For validate_group(), we can make the rule for x86_pmu_add() work by
simply setting cpuc->n_events to 0 before calling schedule_events().

Pull x86 tsx fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides kernel side handling for the TSX erratum of Intel
Skylake (and later) CPUs.
On these CPUs Intel Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX)
functions can result in unpredictable system behavior under certain
circumstances.
The issue is mitigated with an microcode update which utilizes
Performance Monitoring Counter (PMC) 3 when TSX functions are in use.
This mitigation is enabled unconditionally by the updated microcode.
As a consequence the usage of TSX functions can cause corrupted
performance monitoring results for events which utilize PMC3. The
corruption is silent on kernels which have no update for this issue.
This update makes the kernel aware of the PMC3 utilization by the
microcode:
The microcode offers a possibility to enforce TSX abort which prevents
the malfunction and frees up PMC3. The enforced TSX abort requires the
TSX using application to have a software fallback path implemented;
abort handlers which solely retry the transaction will fail over and
over.
The enforced TSX abort request is issued by the kernel when:
- enforced TSX abort is enabled (PMU attribute)
- A performance monitoring request needs PMC3
When PMC3 is not longer used by the kernel the TSX force abort request
is cleared.
The enforced TSX abort mechanism is enabled by default and can be
controlled by the administrator via the new PMU attribute
'allow_tsx_force_abort'. This attribute is only visible when updated
microcode is detected on affected systems. Writing '0' disables the
enforced TSX abort mechanism, '1' enables it.
As a result of disabling the enforced TSX abort mechanism, PMC3 is
permanentely unavailable for performance monitoring which can cause
performance monitoring requests to fail or switch to multiplexing
mode"
* branch 'x86-tsx-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
perf/x86/intel: Implement support for TSX Force Abort
x86: Add TSX Force Abort CPUID/MSR
perf/x86/intel: Generalize dynamic constraint creation
perf/x86/intel: Make cpuc allocations consistent
Skylake (and later) will receive a microcode update to address a TSX
errata. This microcode will, on execution of a TSX instruction
(speculative or not) use (clobber) PMC3. This update will also provide
a new MSR to change this behaviour along with a CPUID bit to enumerate
the presence of this new MSR.
When the MSR gets set; the microcode will no longer use PMC3 but will
Force Abort every TSX transaction (upon executing COMMIT).
When TSX Force Abort (TFA) is allowed (default); the MSR gets set when
PMC3 gets scheduled and cleared when, after scheduling, PMC3 is
unused.
When TFA is not allowed; clear PMC3 from all constraints such that it
will not get used.

The reason is that while event init code does several checks
for BTS events and prevents several unwanted config bits for
BTS event (like precise_ip), the PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD allows
to create BTS event without those checks being done.
Following sequence will cause the crash:
If we create an 'almost' BTS event with precise_ip and callchains,
and it into a BTS event it will crash the perf_prepare_sample()
function because precise_ip events are expected to come
in with callchain data initialized, but that's not the
case for intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() caller.
Adding a check_period callback to be called before the period
is changed via PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD. It will deny the change
if the event would become BTS. Plus adding also the limit_period
check as well.

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.

Changing the intel_pmu_has_bts() code to check on event's final

Implements counter freezing for Arch Perfmon v4 (Skylake and
newer). This allows to speed up the PMI handler by avoiding
unnecessary MSR writes and make it more accurate.
The Arch Perfmon v4 PMI handler is substantially different than
the older PMI handler.
Differences to the old handler:
- It relies on counter freezing, which eliminates several MSR
writes from the PMI handler and lowers the overhead significantly.
It makes the PMI handler more accurate, as all counters get
frozen atomically as soon as any counter overflows. So there is
much less counting of the PMI handler itself.
With the freezing we don't need to disable or enable counters or
PEBS. Only BTS which does not support auto-freezing still needs to
be explicitly managed.
- The PMU acking is done at the end, not the beginning.
This makes it possible to avoid manual enabling/disabling
of the PMU, instead we just rely on the freezing/acking.
- The APIC is acked before reenabling the PMU, which avoids
problems with LBRs occasionally not getting unfreezed on Skylake.
- Looping is only needed to workaround a corner case which several PMIs
are very close to each other. For common cases, the counters are freezed
during PMI handler. It doesn't need to do re-check.
This patch:
- Adds code to enable v4 counter freezing
- Fork <=v3 and >=v4 PMI handlers into separate functions.
- Add kernel parameter to disable counter freezing. It took some time to
debug counter freezing, so in case there are new problems we added an
option to turn it off. Would not expect this to be used until there
are new bugs.
- Only for big core. The patch for small core will be posted later
separately.
Performance:
When profiling a kernel build on Kabylake with different perf options,
measuring the length of all NMI handlers using the nmi handler
trace point:
V3 is without counter freezing.
V4 is with counter freezing.
The value is the average cost of the PMI handler.
(lower is better)

Context switches with perf LBR call stack context are fairly expensive
because they do a lot of MSR writes. Currently we unconditionally do the
expensive operation when LBR call stack is enabled. It's not necessary
for some common cases, e.g task -> other kernel thread -> same task.
The LBR registers are not changed, hence they don't need to be
rewritten/restored.
Introduce per-CPU variables to track the last LBR call stack context.
If the same context is scheduled in, the rewrite/restore is not
required, with the following two exceptions:
- The LBR registers may be modified by a normal LBR event, i.e., adding
a new LBR event or scheduling an existing LBR event. In both cases,
the LBR registers are reset first. The last LBR call stack information
is cleared in intel_pmu_lbr_reset(). Restoring the LBR registers is
required.
- The LBR registers are initialized to zero in C6.
If the LBR registers which TOS points is cleared, C6 must be entered
while swapped out. Restoring the LBR registers is required as well.
These exceptions are not common.

LBR has a limited stack size. If a task has a deeper call stack than
LBR's stack size, only the overflowed part is reported. A complete call
stack may not be reconstructed by perf tool.
Current code doesn't access all LBR registers. It only read the ones
below the TOS. The LBR registers above the TOS will be discarded
unconditionally.
When a CALL is captured, the TOS is incremented by 1 , modulo max LBR
stack size. The LBR HW only records the call stack information to the
register which the TOS points to. It will not touch other LBR
registers. So the registers above the TOS probably still store the valid
call stack information for an overflowed call stack, which need to be
reported.
To retrieve complete call stack information, we need to start from TOS,
read all LBR registers until an invalid entry is detected.
0s can be used to detect the invalid entry, because:
- When a RET is captured, the HW zeros the LBR register which TOS points
to, then decreases the TOS.
- The LBR registers are reset to 0 when adding a new LBR event or
scheduling an existing LBR event.
- A taken branch at IP 0 is not expected
The context switch code is also modified to save/restore all valid LBR
registers. Furthermore, the LBR registers, which don't have valid call
stack information, need to be reset in restore, because they may be
polluted while swapped out.
Here is a small test program, tchain_deep.
Its call stack is deeper than 32.
noinline void f33(void)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 10000000;) {
if (i%2)
i++;
else
i++;
}
}
noinline void f32(void)
{
f33();
}
noinline void f31(void)
{
f32();
}
... ...
noinline void f1(void)
{
f2();
}
int main()
{
f1();
}
Here is the test result on SKX. The max stack size of SKX is 32.

Large fixed period values could be truncated on Broadwell, for example:
perf record -e cycles -c 10000000000
Here the fixed period is 0x2540BE400, but the period which finally applied is
0x540BE400 - which is wrong.
The reason is that x86_pmu::limit_period() uses an u32 parameter, so the
high 32 bits of 'period' get truncated.
This bug was introduced in:
commit 294fe0f52a ("perf/x86/intel: Add INST_RETIRED.ALL workarounds")
It's safe to use u64 instead of u32:
- Although the 'left' is s64, the value of 'left' must be positive when
calling limit_period().
- bdw_limit_period() only modifies the lowest 6 bits, it doesn't touch
the higher 32 bits.

The BTS and PEBS buffers both have their virtual addresses programmed into
the hardware. This means that any access to them is performed via the page
tables. The times that the hardware accesses these are entirely dependent
on how the performance monitoring hardware events are set up. In other
words, there is no way for the kernel to tell when the hardware might
access these buffers.
To avoid perf crashes, place 'debug_store' allocate pages and map them into
the cpu_entry_area.
The PEBS fixup buffer does not need this treatment.

The Intel PEBS/BTS debug store is a design trainwreck as it expects virtual
addresses which must be visible in any execution context.
So it is required to make these mappings visible to user space when kernel
page table isolation is active.
Provide enough room for the buffer mappings in the cpu_entry_area so the
buffers are available in the user space visible page tables.
At the point where the kernel side entry area is populated there is no
buffer available yet, but the kernel PMD must be populated. To achieve this
set the entries for these buffers to non present.

[ Note, this is a Git cherry-pick of the following commit:
a47ba4d77e ("perf/x86: Enable free running PEBS for REGS_USER/INTR")
... for easier x86 PTI code testing and back-porting. ]
Currently free running PEBS is disabled when user or interrupt
registers are requested. Most of the registers are actually
available in the PEBS record and can be supported.
So we just need to check for the supported registers and then
allow it: it is all except for the segment register.
For user registers this only works when the counter is limited
to ring 3 only, so this also needs to be checked.

For understanding how the workload maps to memory channels and hardware
behavior, it's very important to collect address maps with physical
addresses. For example, 3D XPoint access can only be found by filtering
the physical address.
Add a new sample type for physical address.
perf already has a facility to collect data virtual address. This patch
introduces a function to convert the virtual address to physical address.
The function is quite generic and can be extended to any architecture as
long as a virtual address is provided.
- For kernel direct mapping addresses, virt_to_phys is used to convert
the virtual addresses to physical address.
- For user virtual addresses, __get_user_pages_fast is used to walk the
pages tables for user physical address.
- This does not work for vmalloc addresses right now. These are not
resolved, but code to do that could be added.
The new sample type requires collecting the virtual address. The
virtual address will not be output unless SAMPLE_ADDR is applied.
For security, the physical address can only be exposed to root or
privileged user.

It can be difficult to figure out for user programs what features
the x86 CPU PMU driver actually supports. Currently it requires
grepping in dmesg, but dmesg is not always available.
This adds a caps directory to /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/,
similar to the caps already used on intel_pt, which can be used to
discover the available capabilities cleanly.
Three capabilities are defined:
- pmu_name: Underlying CPU name known to the driver
- max_precise: Max precise level supported
- branches: Known depth of LBR.
Example:
% grep . /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/*
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/branches:32
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/max_precise:3

Skylake changed the encoding of the PEBS data source field.
Some combinations are not available anymore, but some new cases
e.g. for L4 cache hit are added.
Fix up the conversion table for Skylake, similar as had been done
for Nehalem.
On Skylake server the encoding for L4 actually means persistent
memory. Handle this case too.
To properly describe it in the abstracted perf format I had to add
some new fields. Since a hit can have only one level add a new
field that is an enumeration, not a bit field to describe
the level. It can describe any level. Some numbers are also
used to describe PMEM and LFB.
Also add a new generic remote flag that can be combined with
the generic level to signify a remote cache.
And there is an extension field for the snoop indication to handle
the Forward state.
I didn't add a generic flag for hops because it's not needed
for Skylake.
I changed the existing encodings for older CPUs to also fill in the
new level and remote fields.

Currently, the SMIs are visible to all performance counters, because
many users want to measure everything including SMIs. But in some
cases, the SMI cycles should not be counted - for example, to calculate
the cost of an SMI itself. So a knob is needed.
When setting FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit in IA32_DEBUGCTL, all performance
counters will be effected. There is no way to do per-counter freeze
on SMI. So it should not use the per-event interface (e.g. ioctl or
event attribute) to set FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit.
Adds sysfs entry /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi to set FREEZE_WHILE_SMM
bit in IA32_DEBUGCTL. When set, freezes perfmon and trace messages
while in SMM.
Value has to be 0 or 1. It will be applied to all processors.
Also serialize the entire setting so we don't get multiple concurrent
threads trying to update to different values.

Spurious NMIs will be observed with the following command:

-e "cpu/umask=0x02,event=0x0/"
-e cycles,branches,cache-misses
-e cache-references -- sleep 10
done
The bug was introduced by commit:
8077eca079 ("perf/x86/pebs: Add workaround for broken OVFL status on HSW+")
That commit clears the status bits for the counters used for PEBS
events, by masking the whole 64 bits pebs_enabled. However, only the
low 32 bits of both status and pebs_enabled are reserved for PEBS-able
counters.
For status bits 32-34 are fixed counter overflow bits. For
pebs_enabled bits 32-34 are for PEBS Load Latency.
In the test case, the PEBS Load Latency event and fixed counter event
could overflow at the same time. The fixed counter overflow bit will
be cleared by mistake. Once it is cleared, the fixed counter overflow
never be processed, which finally trigger spurious NMI.
Correct the PEBS enabled mask by ignoring the non-PEBS bits.

Vince Weaver reported that perf_fuzzer + KASAN detects that PEBS event
unwinds sometimes do 'weird' things. In particular, we seemed to be
ending up unwinding from random places on the NMI stack.
While it was somewhat expected that the event record BP,SP would not
match the interrupt BP,SP in that the interrupt is strictly later than
the record event, it was overlooked that it could be on an already
overwritten stack.
Therefore, don't copy the recorded BP,SP over the interrupted BP,SP
when we need stack unwinds.
Note that its still possible the unwind doesn't full match the actual
event, as its entirely possible to have done an (I)RET between record
and interrupt, but on average it should still point in the general
direction of where the event came from. Also, it's the best we can do,
considering.
The particular scenario that triggered the bogus NMI stack unwind was
a PEBS event with very short period, upon enabling the event at the
tail of the PMI handler (FREEZE_ON_PMI is not used), it instantly
triggers a record (while still on the NMI stack) which in turn
triggers the next PMI. This then causes back-to-back NMIs and we'll
try and unwind the stack-frame from the last NMI, which obviously is
now overwritten by our own.

The lbr_context logic confused me; it appears to me to try and do the
same thing the pmu::sched_task() callback does now, but limited to
per-task events.
So rip it out. Afaict this should also improve performance, because I
think the current code can end up doing lbr_reset() twice, once from
the pmu::add() and then again from pmu::sched_task(), and MSR writes
(all 3*16 of them) are expensive!!
While thinking through the cases that need the reset it occured to me
the first install of an event in an active context needs to reset the
LBR (who knows what crap is in there), but detecting this case is
somewhat hard.

Furthermore, we really only need this accounting on pmu::{add,del}(),

In order to allow optimizing perf_pmu_sched_task() we must ensure
perf_sched_cb_{inc,dec}() are no longer called from NMI context; this
means that pmu::{start,stop}() can no longer use them.
Prepare for this by reworking the whole large PEBS setup code.
The current code relied on the cpuc->pebs_enabled state, however since
that reflects the current active state as per pmu::{start,stop}() we
can no longer rely on this.
Introduce two counters: cpuc->n_pebs and cpuc->n_large_pebs which
count the total number of PEBS events and the number of PEBS events
that have FREERUNNING set, resp.. With this we can tell if the current
setup requires a single record interrupt threshold or can use a larger
buffer.
This also improves the code in that it re-enables the large threshold
once the PEBS event that required single record gets removed.

Intel's SDM states that bits 61:62 in MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x are the
TSX flags for formats with LBR_TSX flags (i.e. LBR_FORMAT_EIP_EFLAGS2).
However, when the CPU has TSX support deactivated, bits 61:62 actually
behave as follows:
- For wrmsr(), bits 61:62 are considered part of the sign extension.
- When capturing branches, the LBR hw will always clear bits 61:62.
regardless of the sign extension.
Therefore, if:
1) LBR has TSX format.
2) CPU has no TSX support enabled.
... then any value passed to wrmsr() must be sign extended to 63 bits
and any value from rdmsr() must be converted to have a sign extension
of 61 bits, ignoring the values at TSX flags.
This bug was masked by the work-around to the Intel's CPU bug:
BJ94. "LBR May Contain Incorrect Information When Using FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI"
in Document Number: 324643-037US.
The aforementioned work-around uses hw flags to filter out all kernel
branches, limiting LBR callstack to user level execution only.
Since user addresses are not sign extended, they do not trigger the wrmsr()
bug in MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x when saved/restored at context switch.
To verify the hw bug:
$ perf record -b -e cycles sleep 1
$ rdmsr -p 0 0x680
0x1fffffffb0b9b0cc
$ wrmsr -p 0 0x680 0x1fffffffb0b9b0cc
write(): Input/output error
The quirk for LBR_FROM_ MSRs is required before calls to wrmsrl() and
after rdmsrl().
This patch introduces it for wrmsrl()'s done for testing LBR support.
Future patch in series adds the quirk for context switch, that would
be required if LBR callstack is to be enabled for ring 0.

Not all cores prevent using Intel PT and LBRs simultaneously, although
most of them still do as of today. This patch adds an opt-in flag for
such cores to disable mutual exclusivity between PT and LBR; also flip
it on for Goldmont.

LBR filtering is also supported on the Silvermont and Airmont
microarchitectures. The layout of MSR_LBR_SELECT is the same as Nehalem.

Add perf core PMU support for Intel Goldmont CPU cores:
- The init code is based on Silvermont.
- There is a new cache event list, based on the Silvermont cache event list.
- Goldmont has 32 LBR entries. It also uses new LBRv6 format, which
report the cycle information using upper 16-bit of the LBR_TO.
- It's recommended to use CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.CORE_P + NPEBS for precise cycles.
For details, please refer to the latest SDM058:

Avoid allocating the AMD NB event constraints data structure when not
needed. This gets rid of x86_max_cores usage and avoids allocating
this on AMD Core Perfctr supporting hardware (which has separate MSRs
for NB events).

Jiri reported some time ago that some entries in the PEBS data source table
in perf do not agree with the SDM. We investigated and the bits
changed for Sandy Bridge, but the SDM was not updated.
perf already implements the bits correctly for Sandy Bridge
and later. This patch patches it up for Nehalem and Westmere.

This patch adds a Broadwell specific PEBS event constraint table.
Broadwell has a fix for the HT corruption bug erratum HSD29 on
Haswell. Therefore, there is no need to mark events 0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2,
0xd3 has requiring the exclusive mode across both sibling HT threads.
This holds true for regular counting and sampling (see core.c) and
PEBS (ds.c) which we fix in this patch.
In doing so, we relax evnt scheduling for these events, they can now
be programmed on any 4 counters without impacting what is measured on
the sibling thread.

Using PAGE_SIZE buffers makes the WRMSR to PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL in
intel_pmu_enable_all() mysteriously hang on Core2. As a workaround, we
don't do this.
The hard lockup is easily triggered by running 'perf test attr'
repeatedly. Most of the time it gets stuck on sample session with
small periods.
# perf test attr -vv
14: struct perf_event_attr setup :
--- start ---
...
'PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp/tmpuEKz3B /usr/bin/perf record -o /tmp/tmpuEKz3B/perf.data -c 123 kill >/dev/null 2>&1' ret 1
