commit 60b7ed54a41b550d50caf7f2418db4a7e75b5bdc upstream.

On systems without any specific PMU driver support registered, running
perf record causes Oops.

The relevant portion from call trace:

During perf record session, perf_instruction_pointer() is called to
capture the sample IP. This function in core-book3s accesses
ppmu-&gt;flags. If a platform specific PMU driver is not registered, ppmu
is set to NULL and accessing its members results in a crash. Fix this
crash by checking if ppmu is set.

[ 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)

  cpu_event_pinned_vs_ebb_test[10000000+10000]

Test results after the patch:

  $ ./pmu/ebb/cpu_event_pinned_vs_ebb_test

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.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - A large series adding wrappers for our interrupt handlers, so that
   irq/nmi/user tracking can be isolated in the wrappers rather than
   spread in each handler.

 - Conversion of the 32-bit syscall handling into C.

 - A series from Nick to streamline our TLB flushing when using the
   Radix MMU.

 - Switch to using queued spinlocks by default for 64-bit server CPUs.

 - A rework of our PCI probing so that it happens later in boot, when
   more generic infrastructure is available.

 - Two small fixes to allow 32-bit little-endian processes to run on
   64-bit kernels.

 - Other smaller features, fixes &amp; cleanups.

<id>urn:sha1:82d2c16b350f72aa21ac2a6860c542aa4b43a51e</id>
<content type='text'>
Thresholding, a performance monitoring unit feature, can be
used to identify marked instructions which take more than
expected cycles between start event and end event.
Threshold compare (thresh_cmp) bits are programmed in MMCRA
register. In Power9, thresh_cmp bits were part of the
event code. But in case of P10, thresh_cmp are not part of
event code due to inclusion of MMCR3 bits.

Patch here adds an option to use attr.config1 variable
to be used to pass thresh_cmp value to be programmed in
MMCRA register. A new ppmu flag called PPMU_HAS_ATTR_CONFIG1
has been added and this flag is used to notify the use of
attr.config1 variable.

Patch has extended the parameter list of 'compute_mmcr',
to include power_pmu's 'flags' element and parameter list of
get_constraint to include attr.config1 value. It also extend
parameter list of power_check_constraints inorder to pass
perf_event list.

As stated by commit ef0e3b650f8d ("powerpc/perf: Fix Threshold
Event Counter Multiplier width for P10"), constraint bits for
thresh_cmp is also needed to be increased to 11 bits, which is
handled as part of this patch. We added bit number 53 as part
of constraint bits of thresh_cmp for power10 to make it an
11 bit field.

Updated layout for p10:

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

<content type='text'>
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.

Currently Monitor Mode Control Registers and Sampling registers are
part of extended regs. Patch adds support to include Performance Monitor
Counter Registers (PMC1 to PMC6 ) as part of extended registers.

PMCs are saved in the perf interrupt handler as part of
per-cpu array 'pmcs' in struct cpu_hw_events. While capturing
the register values for extended regs, fetch these saved PMC values.

Simplified the PERF_REG_PMU_MASK_300/31 definition to include PMU
SPRs MMCR0 to PMC6. Exclude the unsupported SPRs (MMCR3, SIER2, SIER3)
from extended mask value for CPU_FTR_ARCH_300 in the new definition.

PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MAX is used to check if any index beyond the extended
registers is requested in the sample. Have one PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MAX
for CPU_FTR_ARCH_300/CPU_FTR_ARCH_31 since perf_reg_validate function
already checks the extended mask for the presence of any unsupported
register.

To support capturing of PMC's as part of extended registers, the
value of SPR's PMC1 to PMC6 has to be saved in the starting of PMI
interrupt handler. This is needed since we are resetting the
overflown PMC before creating sample and hence directly reading
SPRN_PMCx in 'perf_reg_value' will be capturing the modified value.

To solve this, add a per-cpu array as part of structure cpu_hw_events
and use this array to capture PMC values in the perf interrupt handler.
Patch also re-factor's the interrupt handler code to use this per-cpu
array instead of current local array.

This is required in order to allow more significant differences between
NMI type interrupt handlers and regular asynchronous handlers.
