On Intel SNB (SNB, SNB-EP), the event MEM_LOAD_UOPS_MISS_RETIRED
supports PEBS. It was missing for the SNB PEBS event constraint
table thereby preventing any measurement with PEBS for it.

This patch adds the event to the PEBS table for SNB.

WARNING: it should be noted that this event like a few others
are subject to the erratum BT241 for Xeon E5 (SNB-EP). As such,
the event may undercount when used with PEBS unless the
workaround is implemented. But without this patch and just the
workaround, the kernel would not allow precise sampling on this
event. BT241 is documented in:

mem-loads is basically the same as Sandy Bridge,
but we use a separate string for changes later.

Haswell doesn't support the full precise store mode,
so we emulate it using the "DataLA" facility.
This allows to do everything, but for data sources we
can only detect L1 hit or not.

There is no explicit enable bit anymore, so we have
to tie it to a perf internal only flag.

The address is supported for all memory related PEBS
events with DataLA. Instead of only logging for the
load and store events we allow logging it for all
(it will be simply 0 if the current event does not
support it)

Add support for the Haswell extended (fmt2) PEBS format.

It has a superset of the nhm (fmt1) PEBS fields, but has a
longer record so we need to adjust the code paths.

The main advantage is the new "EventingRip" support which
directly gives the instruction, not off-by-one instruction. So
with precise == 2 we use that directly and don't try to use LBRs
and walking basic blocks. This lowers the overhead of using
precise significantly.

Some other features are added in later patches.

This patch adds support for memory profiling using the
PEBS Load Latency facility.

Load accesses are sampled by HW and the instruction
address, data address, load latency, data source, tlb,
locked information can be saved in the sampling buffer
if using the PERF_SAMPLE_COST (for latency),
PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR, PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC types.

To enable PEBS Load Latency, users have to use the
model specific event:

 - on NHM/WSM: MEM_INST_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD
 - on SNB/IVB: MEM_TRANS_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD

To make things easier, this patch also exports a generic
alias via sysfs: mem-loads. It export the right event
encoding based on the host CPU and can be used directly
by the perf tool.

Loosely based on Intel's Lin Ming patch posted on LKML

This patch adds a flags field to each event constraint.
It can be used to store event specific features which can
then later be used by scheduling code or low-level x86 code.

The flags are propagated into event->hw.flags during the
get_event_constraint() call. They are cleared during the
put_event_constraint() call.

This mechanism is going to be used by the PEBS-LL patches.
It avoids defining yet another table to hold event specific

This patch fixes an uninitialized pt_regs struct in drain BTS
function. The pt_regs struct is propagated all the way to the
code_get_segment() function from perf_instruction_pointer()
and may get garbage.

We cannot simply inherit the actual pt_regs from the interrupt
because BTS must be flushed on context-switch or when the
associated event is disabled. And there we do not have a pt_regs
handy.

Setting pt_regs to all zeroes may not be the best option but it
is not clear what else to do given where the drain_bts_buffer()
is called from.

In V2, we move the memset() later in the code to avoid doing it
when we end up returning early without doing the actual BTS
processing. Also dropped the reg.val initialization because it
is redundant with the memset() as suggested by PeterZ.

Commit 1d9d8639 ("perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after
suspend/resume") fixed a crash when doing PEBS performance profiling
after resuming, but in using init_debug_store_on_cpu() to restore the
DS_AREA mtrr it also resulted in a new WARN_ON() triggering.

init_debug_store_on_cpu() uses "wrmsr_on_cpu()", which in turn uses CPU
cross-calls to do the MSR update.  Which is not really valid at the
early resume stage, and the warning is quite reasonable.  Now, it all
happens to _work_, for the simple reason that smp_call_function_single()
ends up just doing the call directly on the CPU when the CPU number
matches, but we really should just do the wrmsr() directly instead.

This duplicates the wrmsr() logic, but hopefully we can just remove the
wrmsr_on_cpu() version eventually.

This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS)
after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked
on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly
by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS
measurement to crash when running on CPU0.

The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore
the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0,
the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

Some PMUs don't provide a full register set for their sample,
specifically 'advanced' PMUs like AMD IBS and Intel PEBS which provide
'better' than regular interrupt accuracy.

In this case we use the interrupt regs as basis and over-write some
fields (typically IP) with different information.

The perf core however uses user_mode() to distinguish user/kernel
samples, user_mode() relies on regs->cs. If the interrupt skid pushed
us over a boundary the new IP might not be in the same domain as the
interrupt.

Commit ce5c1fe9 ("perf/x86: Fix USER/KERNEL tagging of samples")
tried to fix this by making the perf core use kernel_ip(). This
however is wrong (TM), as pointed out by Linus, since it doesn't allow
for VM86 and non-zero based segments in IA32 mode.

Therefore, provide a new helper to set the regs->ip field,
set_linear_ip(), which massages the regs into a suitable state
assuming the provided IP is in fact a linear address.

Also modify perf_instruction_pointer() and perf_callchain_user() to
deal with segments base offsets.

We always need to pass the last sample period to

        data.period = event->hw.last_period;

will now be like that:

Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

This patch adds an internal sofware filter to complement
the (optional) LBR hardware filter.

The software filter is necessary:

 - as a substitute when there is no HW LBR filter (e.g., Atom, Core)
 - to complement HW LBR filter in case of errata (e.g., Nehalem/Westmere)
 - to provide finer grain filtering (e.g., all processors)

Sometimes the LBR HW filter cannot distinguish between two types
of branches. For instance, to capture syscall as CALLS, it is necessary
to enable the LBR_FAR filter which will also capture JMP instructions.
Thus, a second pass is necessary to filter those out, this is what the
SW filter can do.

The SW filter is built on top of the internal x86 disassembler. It
is a best effort filter especially for user level code. It is subject
to the availability of the text page of the program.

The SW filter is enabled on all Intel processors. It is bypassed
when the user is capturing all branches at all priv levels.

With the new throttling/unthrottling code introduced with
commit:

  e050e3f0 ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")

we occasionally hit two WARN_ON_ONCE() checks in:

  - intel_pmu_pebs_enable()
  - intel_pmu_lbr_enable()
  - x86_pmu_start()

The assertions are no longer problematic. There is a valid
path where they can trigger but it is harmless.

The assertion can be triggered with:

  $ perf record -e instructions:pp ....

Leading to paths:

  intel_pmu_pebs_enable
  intel_pmu_enable_event
  x86_perf_event_set_period
  x86_pmu_start
  perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context
  perf_event_task_tick
  scheduler_tick

And:

  intel_pmu_lbr_enable
  intel_pmu_enable_event
  x86_perf_event_set_period
  x86_pmu_start
  perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.
  perf_event_task_tick
  scheduler_tick

cpuc->enabled is always on because when we get to
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context() the PMU is not totally
disabled. Furthermore when we need to adjust a period,
we only stop the event we need to change and not the
entire PMU. Thus, when we re-enable, cpuc->enabled is
already set. Note that when we stop the event, both
pebs and lbr are stopped if necessary (and possible).

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.

For the various event classes:

  - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
    the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
  - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
  - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
    perform wakeups, and hence need 0.

As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).

The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

This patch also reorganizes the PEBS format/constraint detection code. It is
now based on processor model and not PEBS format. Two processors may use the
same PEBS format without have the same list of PEBS events.

In this second version, we simplified the initialization of the PEBS
constraints by leveraging the existing switch() statement in perf_event_intel.c.
We also renamed the constraint tables to be more consistent with regular
constraints.

In this 3rd version, we drop BR_INST_RETIRED.MISPRED from Intel Atom as it does
not seem to work. Use MISPREDICTED_BRANCH_RETIRED instead. Also add FP_ASSIST.*

buffer (64K), which can easily fail.

This patch changes the logic such that when either buffer allocation
fails, we simply don't allow events that would use these facilities,
but continue functioning for all other events.

This logic comes from a much larger patch proposed by Stephane.

Again, mostly a cleanup to unclutter the reserve_ds_buffer() code.

Mostly a cleanup.. it reduces code indentation and makes the code flow
of reserve_ds_buffers() clearer.

Fix a bug introduced with commit de725dec and the change in the
meaning of the return value of intel_pmu_handle_irq(). With the
current code, when you are using the BTS, you get 'dazed by NMI'
each time the BTS buffer fills up.

BTS does interrupt on the PMU vector, thus NMI. You need to take
this into account in the return value of the function.

This version fixes initial patch which was missing changes to
perf_event_intel_ds.c.

Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.

The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.

This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).

It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).

The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:

 1) We disable the counter:
    a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
    b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state

 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:

  0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
  1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
  2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
  3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid

And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation
now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup.

Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit
should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual
instruction triggering the event.

This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more
than a single event.
