[ Upstream commit 03f7c1d2a49acd30e38789cd809d3300721e9b0e ]

Based on getPerfCountInfo v1.018 documentation, some of the
hv_gpci events were deprecated for platform firmware that
supports counter_info_version 0x8 or above.

Fix the hv_gpci event list by adding a new attribute group
called "hv_gpci_event_attrs_v6" and a "ENABLE_EVENTS_COUNTERINFO_V6"
macro to enable these events for platform firmware
that supports counter_info_version 0x6 or below. And assigning
the hv_gpci event list based on output counter info version
of underlying plaform.

[ Upstream commit 32c5209214bd8d4f8c4e9d9b630ef4c671f58e79 ]

The interrupt frame detection and loads from the hypothetical pt_regs
are not bounds-checked. The next-frame validation only bounds-checks
STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD, which does not include the pt_regs. Add another
test for this.

The user could set r1 to be equal to the address matching the first
interrupt frame - STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE, which is in the previous page
due to the kernel redzone, and induce the kernel to load the marker from
there. Possibly this could cause a crash at least. If the user could
induce the previous page to contain a valid marker, then it might be
able to direct perf to read specific memory addresses in a way that
could be transmitted back to the user in the perf data.

<content type='text'>
Commit 6320e693d98c ("powerpc/perf: Add support for caps under sysfs in
powerpc") added support for caps under sysfs in powerpc. This added caps
directory to: /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/ for power8, power9,
power10 and generic compat PMU in respective PMU driver code.

For power10, it is added under "power10_pmu_attr_groups". But
for DD1 version, attr_groups are defined under dd1 array:
"power10_pmu_attr_groups_dd1". Since caps is not added for DD1,
it fails to include "cpu/caps" in DD1 model.

The issue was observed while booting power10 pseries with qemu version
6, but not observed with qemu version 7. This is because qemu version 7
uses a DD 2.0 CPU model.

Below is the trace log:

<title>powerpc/perf: Use PVR rather than oprofile field to determine CPU version</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently the perf CPU backend drivers detect what CPU they're on using
cur_cpu_spec-&gt;oprofile_cpu_type.

Although that works, it's a bit crufty to be using oprofile related fields,
especially seeing as oprofile is more or less unused these days.

It also means perf is reliant on the fragile logic in setup_cpu_spec()
which detects when we're using a logical PVR and copies back the PMU
related fields from the raw CPU entry. So lets check the PVR directly.

<content type='text'>
Add caps support under "/sys/bus/event_source/devices/&lt;pmu&gt;/"
for powerpc. This directory can be used to expose some of the
specific features that powerpc PMU supports to the user.
Example: pmu_name. The name of PMU registered will depend on
platform, say power9 or power10 or it could be Generic Compat
PMU.

Currently the only way to know which is the registered
PMU is from the dmesg logs. But clearing the dmesg will make it
difficult to know exact PMU backend used. And even extracting
from dmesg will be complicated, as we need  to parse the dmesg
logs and add filters for pmu name. Whereas by exposing it via
caps will make it easy as we just need to directly read it from
the sysfs.

Add a caps directory to /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/
for power8, power9, power10 and generic compat PMU in respective
PMU driver code. Update the pmu_name file under caps folder
in core-book3s using "attr_update".

The information exposed currently:
 - pmu_name : Underlying PMU name from the driver

Example result with power9 pmu:

 # ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps
pmu_name

 # cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name
POWER9

This is sent to kernel via perf_event_attr.exclude_idle and
in perf tool, user can use ":I" event modifier to enable this
for specific event.

Monitor Mode Control Register 2 (MMCR2) SPR has control bits
for each PMCs to freeze counting based on the Control Register

commit 2c9ac51b850d ("powerpc/perf: Fix PMU callbacks to clear
pending PMI before resetting an overflown PMC") added a new
function "pmi_irq_pending" in hw_irq.h. This function is to check
if there is a PMI marked as pending in Paca (PACA_IRQ_PMI).This is
used in power_pmu_disable in a WARN_ON. The intention here is to
provide a warning if there is PMI pending, but no counter is found
overflown.

During some of the perf runs, below warning is hit:

This means that there is no PMC overflown among the active events
in the PMU, but there is a PMU pending in Paca. The function
"any_pmc_overflown" checks the PMCs on active events in
cpuhw-&gt;n_events. Code snippet:

&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;
if (any_pmc_overflown(cpuhw))
 	clear_pmi_irq_pending();
 else
 	WARN_ON(pmi_irq_pending());
&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;

Here the PMC overflown is not from active event. Example: When we do
perf record, default cycles and instructions will be running on PMC6
and PMC5 respectively. It could happen that overflowed event is currently
not active and pending PMI is for the inactive event. Debug logs from
trace_printk:

&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;
any_pmc_overflown: idx is 5: pmc value is 0xd9a
power_pmu_disable: PMC1: 0x0, PMC2: 0x0, PMC3: 0x0, PMC4: 0x0, PMC5: 0xd9a, PMC6: 0x80002011
&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;

Here active PMC (from idx) is PMC5 , but overflown PMC is PMC6(0x80002011).
When we handle PMI interrupt for such cases, if the PMC overflown is
from inactive event, it will be ignored. Reference commit:
commit bc09c219b2e6 ("powerpc/perf: Fix finding overflowed PMC in interrupt")

Patch addresses two changes:
1) Fix 1 : Removal of warning ( WARN_ON(pmi_irq_pending()); )
   We were printing warning if no PMC is found overflown among active PMU
   events, but PMI pending in PACA. But this could happen in cases where
   PMC overflown is not in active PMC. An inactive event could have caused
   the overflow. Hence the warning is not needed. To know pending PMI is
   from an inactive event, we need to loop through all PMC's which will
   cause more SPR reads via mfspr and increase in context switch. Also in
   existing function: perf_event_interrupt, already we ignore PMI's
   overflown when it is from an inactive PMC.

2) Fix 2: optimization in clearing pending PMI.
   Currently we check for any active PMC overflown before clearing PMI
   pending in Paca. This is causing additional SPR read also. From point 1,
   we know that if PMI pending in Paca from inactive cases, that is going
   to be ignored during replay. Hence if there is pending PMI in Paca, just
   clear it irrespective of PMC overflown or not.

In summary, remove the any_pmc_overflown check entirely in
power_pmu_disable. ie If there is a pending PMI in Paca, clear it, since
we are in pmu_disable. There could be cases where PMI is pending because
of inactive PMC ( which later when replayed also will get ignored ), so
WARN_ON could give false warning. Hence removing it.

Thresh compare bits for a event is used to program thresh compare
field in Monitor Mode Control Register A (MMCRA: 9-18 bits for power9).
When scheduling events as a group, all events in that group should
match value in threshold bits (like thresh compare, thresh control,
thresh select). Otherwise event open for the sibling events should fail.
But in the current code, incase thresh compare bits are not valid,
we are not failing in group_constraint function which can result
in invalid group schduling.

Fix the issue by returning -1 incase event is threshold and threshold
compare value is not valid.

Thresh control bits in the event code is used to program thresh_ctl
field in Monitor Mode Control Register A (MMCRA: 48-55). In below example,
the scheduling of group events PM_MRK_INST_CMPL (873534401e0) and
PM_THRESH_MET (8734340101ec) is expected to fail as both event
request different thresh control bits and invalid thresh compare value.

Result before the patch changes:

[command]# perf stat -e "{r8735340401e0,r8734340101ec}" sleep 1

Thresh compare bits for a event is used to program thresh compare
field in Monitor Mode Control Register A (MMCRA: 8-18 bits for power10).
When scheduling events as a group, all events in that group should
match value in threshold bits. Otherwise event open for the sibling
events should fail. But in the current code, incase thresh compare bits are
not valid, we are not failing in group_constraint function which can result
in invalid group schduling.

Fix the issue by returning -1 incase event is threshold and threshold
compare value is not valid in group_constraint function.

Patch also fixes the p10_thresh_cmp_val function to return -1,
incase threshold bits are not valid and changes corresponding check in
is_thresh_cmp_valid function to return false only when the thresh_cmp
value is less then 0.

Thresh control bits in the event code is used to program thresh_ctl
field in Monitor Mode Control Register A (MMCRA: 48-55). In below example,
the scheduling of group events PM_MRK_INST_CMPL (3534401e0) and
PM_THRESH_MET (34340101ec) is expected to fail as both event
request different thresh control bits.
