Completely ignore BHRB privilege state filter request as we are
already configuring that with privilege state filtering attribute
for the accompanying PMU event. This would help achieve cleaner
user space interaction for BHRB.

This patch fixes a situation like this

Before patch:-
------------
./perf record -j any -e branch-misses:k ls
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 95 (Operation not
supported) for event (branch-misses:k).
/bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

Here 'perf record' actually copies over ':k' filter request into BHRB
privilege state filter config and our previous check in kernel would
fail that.

After patch:-
-------------

In the Power7 PMU guide:
https://www.power.org/documentation/commonly-used-metrics-for-performance-analysis/
PM_BRU_MPRED is referred to as PM_BR_MPRED.

It fixed the typo by changing the name of the event in kernel and
documentation accordingly.

This patch changes the ABI, there are some reasons I think it's ok:

- It is relatively new interface, specific to the Power7 platform.

- No tools that we know of actually use this interface at this point
 (none are listed near the interface).

- Users of this interface (eg oprofile users migrating to perf)
  would be more used to the "PM_BR_MPRED" rather than "PM_BRU_MPRED".

- These are in the ABI/testing at this point rather than ABI/stable,
  so hoping we have some wiggle room.

Add support for EBB (Event Based Branches) on 64-bit book3s. See the
included documentation for more details.

EBBs are a feature which allows the hardware to branch directly to a
specified user space address when a PMU event overflows. This can be
used by programs for self-monitoring with no kernel involvement in the
inner loop.

Most of the logic is in the generic book3s code, primarily to avoid a

In pmu_disable() we disable the PMU by setting the FC (Freeze Counters)
bit in MMCR0. In order to do this we have to read/modify/write MMCR0.

It's possible that we read a value from MMCR0 which has PMAO (PMU Alert
Occurred) set. When we write that value back it will cause an interrupt
to occur. We will then end up in the PMU interrupt handler even though
we are supposed to have just disabled the PMU.

We can avoid this by making sure we never write PMAO back. We should not
lose interrupts because when the PMU is re-enabled the overflowed values
will cause another interrupt.

We also reorder the clearing of SAMPLE_ENABLE so that is done after the
PMU is frozen. Otherwise there is a small window between the clearing of
SAMPLE_ENABLE and the setting of FC where we could take an interrupt and
incorrectly see SAMPLE_ENABLE not set. This would for example change the
logic in perf_read_regs().

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the powerpc uses of the __cpuinit macros.  There
are no __CPUINIT users in assembly files in powerpc.

In commit bc09c219 "Fix finding overflowed PMC in interrupt" we added
a printk() to the PMU exception handler. Unfortunately that is not safe.

The problem is that the PMU exception may run even when interrupts are
soft disabled, aka NMI context. We do this so that we can profile parts
of the kernel that have interrupts soft-disabled.

But by calling printk() from the exception handler, we can potentially
deadlock in the printk code on logbuf_lock, eg:

Fortunately if we read the instruction from memory we can extract the offset of
a branch and calculate the target address.

This adds a function power_pmu_bhrb_to() to calculate the target/to address of

In perf_ip_adjust() we potentially use the MMCRA[SLOT] field to adjust
the reported IP of a sampled instruction.

Currently the logic is written so that if the backend does NOT have
the PPMU_ALT_SIPR flag set then we assume MMCRA[SLOT] exists.

However on power8 we do not want to set ALT_SIPR (it's in a third
location), and we also do not have MMCRA[SLOT].

So add a new flag which only indicates whether MMCRA[SLOT] exists.

Naively we'd set it on everything except power6/7, because they set
ALT_SIPR, and we've reversed the polarity of the flag. But it's more
complicated than that.

mpc7450 is 32-bit, and uses its own version of perf_ip_adjust()
which doesn't use MMCRA[SLOT], so it doesn't need the new flag set and
the behaviour is unchanged.

PPC970 (and I assume power4) don't have MMCRA[SLOT], so shouldn't have
the new flag set. This is a behaviour change on those cpus, though we
were probably getting lucky and the bits in question were 0.

power5 and power5+ set the new flag, behaviour unchanged.

perf/Power: PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE does not reenable event

If we disable a perf event because we exceeded the specified ->event_limit,
power_pmu_stop() sets the PERF_HES_STOPPED flag on the event.

If the application then re-enables the event using PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE

is never notified of the event.

On POWER7 when we have really small counts left before overflow, we can take a
PMU IRQ, but the PMC gets wound back to just before the overflow.

If the kernel is setting the PMC to a value just before the overflow, we can
get interrupted again without the PMC making any progress (ie another buggy
overflow).  In this case, we can end up making no forward progress, with the
PMC interrupt returning us to the same count over and over.

The below detects when we are making no forward progress (ie. delta = 0) and
then increases the amount left before the overflow.  This stops us from locking
up.

If a PMC is about to overflow on a counter that's on an active perf event
(ie. less than 256 from the end) and a _different_ PMC overflows just at this
time (a PMC that's not on an active perf event), we currently mark the event as
found, but in reality it's not as it's likely the other PMC that caused the
IRQ.  Since we mark it as found the second catch all for overflows doesn't run,
and we don't reset the overflowing PMC ever.  Hence we keep hitting that same
PMC IRQ over and over and don't reset the actual overflowing counter.

This is a rewrite of the perf interrupt handler for book3s to get around this.
We now check to see if any of the PMCs have actually overflowed (ie >=
0x80000000).  If yes, record it for active counters and just reset it for
inactive counters.  If it's not overflowed, then we check to see if it's one of
the buggy power7 counters and if it is, record it and continue.  If none of the
PMCs match this, then we make note that we couldn't find the PMC that caused
the IRQ.

Support for stalled-cycles-frontend and stalled-cycles-backend is
added for e500-based processors.

The following mappings are used:

stalled-cycles-frontend or idle-cycles-frontend:
Com:18 Cycles decode stalled

stalled-cycles-backend or idle-cycles-backend
Com:19 cycles issue stalled

If we have two cache events that require different settings of the L2SEL
bits in MMCR1 then we can not schedule those events simultaneously. Add
logic to the constraint handling to express that.

This reverts commit 81331211.

This revert was requested by the author of the patch as it seems
to cause system hangs with some low frequency events

powerpc/perf: Sample only if SIAR-Valid bit is set in P7+

On POWER7+ two new bits (mmcra[35] and mmcra[36]) indicate whether the
contents of SIAR and SDAR are valid.

For marked instructions on P7+, we must save the contents of SIAR and
SDAR registers only if these new bits are set.

This code/check for the SIAR-Valid bit is specific to P7+, so rather than
waste a CPU-feature bit use the PVR flag.

Note that Carl Love proposed a similar change for oprofile:

We have an old FIXME in reg.h which points out that we should standardise
on PVR_foo for our PVR #defines. Currently we use PVR_ on 32-bit and PV_
on 64-bit.

So do that rename and remove the FIXME.

Seeing as we're touching all but one usage of __is_processor(), rename it
to something less ugly and more indicative of what it does, which is
simply to check the PVR version.
