[ Upstream commit ad86d7ee43b22aa2ed60fb982ae94b285c1be671 ]

Running event hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/
in one of the system throws below error:

 ---Logs---
 # perf list | grep hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles

 # perf stat -v -e hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/ sleep 2
Using CPUID 00800200
Control descriptor is not initialized
Warning:

failed to read counter hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       2.000700771 seconds time elapsed

The above error is because of the hcall failure as required
permission "Enable Performance Information Collection" is not set.
Based on current code, single_gpci_request function did not check the
error type incase hcall fails and by default returns EINVAL. But we can
have other reasons for hcall failures like H_AUTHORITY/H_PARAMETER with
detail_rc as GEN_BUF_TOO_SMALL, for which we need to act accordingly.

Fix this issue by adding new checks in the single_gpci_request and
h_gpci_event_init functions.

Result after fix patch changes:

 # perf stat -e hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/ sleep 2
Error:
No permission to enable hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/ event.

<title>powerpc/hv-gpci: Add return value check in affinity_domain_via_partition_show function</title>

<id>urn:sha1:eb765f5a804ff5969ce08687e1dc36233ae44921</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 070b71f428facd9130319707db854ed8bd24637a ]

To access hv-gpci kernel interface files data, the
"Enable Performance Information Collection" option has to be set
in hmc. Incase that option is not set and user try to read
the interface files, it should give error message as
operation not permitted.

Result of accessing added interface files with disabled
performance collection option:

[command]# cat processor_bus_topology
cat: processor_bus_topology: Operation not permitted

[command]# cat processor_config
cat: processor_config: Operation not permitted

[command]# cat affinity_domain_via_domain
cat: affinity_domain_via_domain: Operation not permitted

[command]# cat affinity_domain_via_virtual_processor
cat: affinity_domain_via_virtual_processor: Operation not permitted

[command]# cat affinity_domain_via_partition

Based on above result there is no error message when reading
affinity_domain_via_partition file because of missing
check for failed hcall. Fix this issue by adding
a check in the start of affinity_domain_via_partition_show
function, to return error incase hcall fails, with error type
other then H_PARAMETER.

<content type='text'>
This patch improves the performance of event alternative lookup by
replacing the previous linear search with a more efficient binary
search. This change reduces the time complexity for the search process
from O(n) to O(log(n)). A pre-sorted table of event values and their
corresponding indices has been introduced to expedite the search
process.

Sparse reports several endianness warnings on variables and functions
that are consistently treated as big endian. There are no
multi-endianness shenanigans going on here so fix these low hanging
fruit up in one patch.

All changes are just type annotations; no endianness switching
operations are introduced by this patch.

<id>urn:sha1:4ff3ba4db5943cac1045e3e4a3c0463ea10f6930</id>
<content type='text'>
Valid domain value is in range 1 to HV_PERF_DOMAIN_MAX. Current code has
check for domain value greater than or equal to HV_PERF_DOMAIN_MAX. But
the check for domain value 0 is missing.

Fix this issue by adding check for domain value 0.

Before:
  # ./perf stat -v -e hv_24x7/CPM_ADJUNCT_INST,domain=0,core=1/ sleep 1
  Using CPUID 00800200
  Control descriptor is not initialized
  Error:

  event (hv_24x7/CPM_ADJUNCT_INST,domain=0,core=1/).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

  Result from dmesg:
