[ Upstream commit 66d9b7492887d34c711bc05b36c22438acba51b4 ]

Memory events (mem-loads and mem-stores) currently use the threshold
event selection as issue to finish. Power10 supports issue to complete
as part of thresholding which is more appropriate for mem-loads and
mem-stores. Hence fix the event code for memory events to use issue
to complete.

[ Upstream commit 10f8f96179ecc7f69c927f6d231f6d02736cea83 ]

The power PMU group constraints includes check for EBB events to make
sure all events in a group must agree on EBB. This will prevent
scheduling EBB and non-EBB events together. But in the existing check,
settings for constraint mask and value is interchanged. Patch fixes the
same.

Before the patch, PMU selftest "cpu_event_pinned_vs_ebb_test" fails with
below in dmesg logs. This happens because EBB event gets enabled along
with a non-EBB cpu event.

  [35600.453346] cpu_event_pinne[41326]: illegal instruction (4)
  at 10004a18 nip 10004a18 lr 100049f8 code 1 in
  cpu_event_pinned_vs_ebb_test[10000000+10000]

Test results after the patch:

  $ ./pmu/ebb/cpu_event_pinned_vs_ebb_test

<title>powerpc/perf: Record counter overflow always if SAMPLE_IP is unset</title>

[ Upstream commit d137845c973147a22622cc76c7b0bc16f6206323 ]

While sampling for marked events, currently we record the sample only
if the SIAR valid bit of Sampled Instruction Event Register (SIER) is
set. SIAR_VALID bit is used for fetching the instruction address from
Sampled Instruction Address Register(SIAR). But there are some
usecases, where the user is interested only in the PMU stats at each
counter overflow and the exact IP of the overflow event is not
required. Dropping SIAR invalid samples will fail to record some of
the counter overflows in such cases.

Example of such usecase is dumping the PMU stats (event counts) after
some regular amount of instructions/events from the userspace (ex: via
ptrace). Here counter overflow is indicated to userspace via signal
handler, and captured by monitoring and enabling I/O signaling on the
event file descriptor. In these cases, we expect to get
sample/overflow indication after each specified sample_period.

Perf event attribute will not have PERF_SAMPLE_IP set in the
sample_type if exact IP of the overflow event is not requested. So
while profiling if SAMPLE_IP is not set, just record the counter
overflow irrespective of SIAR_VALID check.

commit 5ae5fbd2107959b68ac69a8b75412208663aea88 upstream.

Running "perf mem record" in powerpc platforms with selinux enabled
resulted in soft lockup's. Below call-trace was seen in the logs:

The above trace shows that while the CPU was handling a performance
monitor exception, there was a call to security_perf_event_open()
function. In powerpc core-book3s, this function is called from
perf_allow_kernel() check during recording of data address in the
sample via perf_get_data_addr().

Commit da97e18458fb ("perf_event: Add support for LSM and SELinux
checks") introduced security enhancements to perf. As part of this
commit, the new security hook for perf_event_open() was added in all
places where perf paranoid check was previously used. In powerpc
core-book3s code, originally had paranoid checks in
perf_get_data_addr() and power_pmu_bhrb_read(). So
perf_paranoid_kernel() checks were replaced with perf_allow_kernel()
in these PMU helper functions as well.

The intention of paranoid checks in core-book3s was to verify
privilege access before capturing some of the sample data. Along with
paranoid checks, perf_allow_kernel() also does a
security_perf_event_open(). Since these functions are accessed while
recording a sample, we end up calling selinux_perf_event_open() in PMI
context. Some of the security functions use spinlock like
sidtab_sid2str_put(). If a perf interrupt hits under a spin lock and
if we end up in calling selinux hook functions in PMI handler, this
could cause a dead lock.

Since the purpose of this security hook is to control access to
perf_event_open(), it is not right to call this in interrupt context.

The paranoid checks in powerpc core-book3s were done at interrupt time
which is also not correct.

Reference commits:
  Commit cd1231d7035f ("powerpc/perf: Prevent kernel address leak via perf_get_data_addr()")
  Commit bb19af816025 ("powerpc/perf: Prevent kernel address leak to userspace via BHRB buffer")

We only allow creation of events that have already passed the
privilege checks in perf_event_open(). So these paranoid checks are
not needed at event time. As a fix, patch uses
'event-&gt;attr.exclude_kernel' check to prevent exposing kernel address
for userspace only sampling.

 - Switch to the generic C VDSO, as well as some cleanups of our VDSO
   setup/handling code.

 - Support for KUAP (Kernel User Access Prevention) on systems using the
   hashed page table MMU, using memory protection keys.

Threshold Event Counter Multiplier (TECM) is part of Monitor Mode
Control Register A (MMCRA). This field along with Threshold Event
Counter Exponent (TECE) is used to get threshould counter value.
In Power10, this is a 8bit field, so patch fixes the
current code to modify the MMCRA[TECM] extraction macro to
handle this change. ISA v3.1 says this is a 7 bit field but
POWER10 it's actually 8 bits which will hopefully be fixed
in ISA v3.1 update.

Perf event attritube supports exclude_kernel flag to avoid
sampling/profiling in supervisor state (kernel). Based on this event
attr flag, Monitor Mode Control Register bit is set to freeze on
supervisor state. But sometimes (due to hardware limitation), Sampled
Instruction Address Register (SIAR) locks on to kernel address even
when freeze on supervisor is set. Patch here adds a check to drop
those samples.
