Add the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag to process only sample-data-blocks that have the block-full-indicator bit set. Sample-data-blocks that are partially filled are discarded. Use this flag if the sampling buffer is likely to be shared among perf events that use different sampling modes. In such environments, flushing sample-data-blocks that are not completely filled, might cause invalid-data-formats. Setting PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS prevents potentially invalid sampling data to be processed but, in contrast, also discards valid samples in partially filled sample-data-blocks. Note that sample-data-blocks might not become full for small sampling frequencies or for workload that is scheduled for tiny intervals. To sample with the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag, set the perf->attr.config1 to 0x0004. For example: perf record -e cpum_sf/config=0xB000,config1=0x0004/ Signed-off-by: NHendrik Brueckner <brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Also support the diagnostic-sampling function in addition to the basic-sampling function. Diagnostic-sampling data entries contain hardware model specific sampling data and additional programs are required to analyze the data. To deliver diagnostic-sampling, as well, as basis-sampling data entries to user space, introduce support for sampling "raw data". If this particular perf sampling type (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW) is used, sampling data entries are copied to user space. External programs can then analyze these data.

Introduce the perf_exclude_event() function to filter perf samples according to event->attr.exclude_* settings. During event initialization, reset event exclude settings that are not supported.

The host-program-parameter (hpp) value of basic sample-data-entries designates a SIE control block that is set by the LPP instruction in sie64a(). Non-zero values indicate guest samples, a value of zero indicates a host sample. For perf samples, host and guest samples are distinguished using particular PERF_MISC_* flags. The perf layer calls perf_misc_flags() to set the flags based on the pt_regs content. For each sample-data-entry, the cpum_sf PMU creates a pt_regs structure with the sample-data information. An additional flag structure is added to easily distinguish between host and guest samples.

The trailer entry contains a timestamp of the time when the sample-data-block became full. The timestamp specifies a TOD (time-of-day) value in either the STCK or STCKE format. Provide a helper function to return the TOD value depending on the setting of time format indicator.

Ensure to reset the sample-data-block full indicator and the overflow counter at the same time. This must be done atomically because the sampling hardware is still active while full sample-data-block is processed.

Improve the sampling buffer allocation and add a function to reallocate and increase the sampling buffer structure. The number of allocated buffer elements (sample-data-blocks) are accounted. You can control the minimum and maximum number these sample-data-blocks through the cpum_sfb_size kernel parameter. The number hardware sample overflows (if any) are also accounted and stored per perf event. During the PMU disable/enable calls, the accumulated overflow counter is analyzed and, if necessary, the sampling buffer is dynamically increased.

The cpum_cf (counter facility) PMU does not support sampling events. With cpum_sf (sampling facility), a PMU for sampling CPU cycles is available. Make cpum_sf the "default" PMU for PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES sampling events but use the more precise cpum_cf PMU for non-sampling events.

Introduce a perf PMU, "cpum_sf", to support the CPU-Measurement Sampling Facility. You can control the sampling facility through this perf PMU interfaces. Perf sampling events are created for hardware samples. For details about the CPU-Measurement Sampling Facility, see "The Load-Program-Parameter and the CPU-Measurement Facilities" (SA23-2260).
