At the moment, intel_bts events get disabled from intel PMU's disable
callback, which includes event scheduling transactions of said PMU,
which have nothing to do with intel_bts events.
We do want to keep intel_bts events off inside the PMI handler to
avoid filling up their buffer too soon.
This patch moves intel_bts enabling/disabling directly to the PMI
handler.

Currently perf_sched_cb_{inc,dec}() are called from
pmu::{start,stop}(), which has the problem that this can happen from
NMI context, this is making it hard to optimize perf_pmu_sched_task().
Furthermore, we really only need this accounting on pmu::{add,del}(),
so doing it from pmu::{start,stop}() is doing more work than we really
need.
Introduce x86_pmu::{add,del}() and wire up the LBR and PEBS.

This patch updates the event constraints for non-PEBS mode for
Intel Broadwell and Skylake processors. When HT is off, each
CPU gets 8 generic counters. However, not all events can be
programmed on any of the 8 counters. This patch adds the
constraints for the MEM_* events which can only be measured on the
bottom 4 counters. The constraints are also valid when HT is off
because, then, there are only 4 generic counters and they are the
bottom counters.

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.

Add declarations for the events needed for topdown to the
Intel big core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge. We need
to report different values if HyperThreading is on or off.
The only thing this patch does is to export some events
in sysfs.
topdown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which
are generic to out of order CPU cores (although some
CPUs may not implement all of them):
topdown-total-slots Available slots in the pipeline
topdown-slots-issued Slots issued into the pipeline
topdown-slots-retired Slots successfully retired
topdown-fetch-bubbles Pipeline gaps in the frontend
topdown-recovery-bubbles Pipeline gaps during recovery
from misspeculation
A slot is a single operation in the CPU pipe line.
These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics:
FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation.
The formulas to compute the metrics are generic, they
only change based on the availability on the abstracted
input values.
The kernel declares the events supported by the current
CPU and their scaling factors (such as the pipeline width)
and perf stat then computes the formulas based on the
available metrics. This is similar how existing
perf metrics, such as TSC metrics or IPC, are implemented.
This abstracts all CPU pipe line specific knowledge in the
kernel driver, but still avoids the need for larger scale perf
interface changes.
For HyperThreading the any bit is needed to get accurate
values when both threads are executing. This implies that
the events can only be collected as root or with
perf_event_paranoid=-1 for now.
The basic scheme is based on the following paper:
Yasin, A Top Down Method for Performance analysis and Counter architecture ISPASS14 (pdf available via google)

- 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.

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.

This patch fixes an issue with the GLOBAL_OVERFLOW_STATUS bits on
Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake processors when using PEBS.
The SDM stipulates that when the PEBS iterrupt threshold is crossed,
an interrupt is posted and the kernel is interrupted. The kernel will
find GLOBAL_OVF_SATUS bit 62 set indicating there are PEBS records to
drain. But the bits corresponding to the actual counters should NOT be
set. The kernel follows the SDM and assumes that all PEBS events are
processed in the drain_pebs() callback. The kernel then checks for
remaining overflows on any other (non-PEBS) events and processes these
in the for_each_bit_set(&status) loop.
As it turns out, under certain conditions on HSW and later processors,
on PEBS buffer interrupt, bit 62 is set but the counter bits may be
set as well. In that case, the kernel drains PEBS and generates
SAMPLES with the EXACT tag, then it processes the counter bits, and
generates normal (non-EXACT) SAMPLES.
I ran into this problem by trying to understand why on HSW sampling on
a PEBS event was sometimes returning SAMPLES without the EXACT tag.
This should not happen on user level code because HSW has the
eventing_ip which always point to the instruction that caused the
event.
The workaround in this patch simply ensures that the bits for the
counters used for PEBS events are cleared after the PEBS buffer has
been drained. With this fix 100% of the PEBS samples on my user code
report the EXACT tag.
Before:
$ perf record -e cpu/event=0xd0,umask=0x81/upp ./multichase
$ perf report -D | fgrep SAMPLES
PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x2): 11775/11775: 0x406de5 period: 73469 addr: 0 exact=Y
\--- EXACT tag is missing
After:
$ perf record -e cpu/event=0xd0,umask=0x81/upp ./multichase
$ perf report -D | fgrep SAMPLES
PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4002): 11775/11775: 0x406de5 period: 73469 addr: 0 exact=Y
\--- EXACT tag is set
The problem tends to appear more often when multiple PEBS events are used.

Also the NMI watchdog must be enabled.
For this case, the events number is larger than counter number. So
perf has to do multiplexing.
In perf_mux_hrtimer_handler, it does perf_pmu_disable(), schedule out
old events, rotate_ctx, schedule in new events and finally
perf_pmu_enable().
If the old events include precise event, the MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE
should be cleared when perf_pmu_disable(). The MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE
should keep 0 until the perf_pmu_enable() is called and the new event is
precise event.
However, there is a corner case which could restore PEBS_ENABLE to
stale value during the above period. In perf_pmu_disable(), GLOBAL_CTRL
will be set to 0 to stop overflow and followed PMI. But there may be
pending PMI from an earlier overflow, which cannot be stopped. So even
GLOBAL_CTRL is cleared, the kernel still be possible to get PMI. At
the end of the PMI handler, __intel_pmu_enable_all() will be called,
which will restore the stale values if old events haven't scheduled
out.
Once the stale pebs value is set, it's impossible to be corrected if
the new events are non-precise. Because the pebs_enabled will be set
to 0. x86_pmu.enable_all() will ignore the MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE
setting. As a result, the following NMI with stale PEBS_ENABLE
trigger pebs warning.
The pending PMI after enabled=0 will become harmless if the NMI handler
does not change the state. This patch checks cpuc->enabled in pmi and
only restore the state when PMU is active.

Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 2d on CPU 2.
Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?

Now that all functionality has been moved to arch/x86/events/, move the
perf_event.h header and adjust include paths.
