Different hybrid PMUs have different PMU capabilities and events. Perf
should registers a dedicated PMU for each of them.
To check the X86 event, perf has to go through all possible hybrid pmus.
All the hybrid PMUs are registered at boot time. Before the
registration, add intel_pmu_check_hybrid_pmus() to check and update the
counters information, the event constraints, the extra registers and the
unique capabilities for each hybrid PMUs.
Postpone the display of the PMU information and HW check to
CPU_STARTING, because the boot CPU is the only online CPU in the
init_hw_perf_events(). Perf doesn't know the availability of the other
PMUs. Perf should display the PMU information only if the counters of
the PMU are available.
One type of CPUs may be all offline. For this case, users can still
observe the PMU in /sys/devices, but its CPU mask is 0.
All hybrid PMUs have capability PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS.
The PMU name for hybrid PMUs will be "cpu_XXX", which will be assigned
later in a separated patch.
The PMU type id for the core PMU is still PERF_TYPE_RAW. For the other
hybrid PMUs, the PMU type id is not hard code.
The event->cpu must be compatitable with the supported CPUs of the PMU.
Add a check in the x86_pmu_event_init().
The events in a group must be from the same type of hybrid PMU.
The fake cpuc used in the validation must be from the supported CPU of
the event->pmu.
Perf may not retrieve a valid core type from get_this_hybrid_cpu_type().
For example, ADL may have an alternative configuration. With that
configuration, Perf cannot retrieve the core type from the CPUID leaf
0x1a. Add a platform specific get_hybrid_cpu_type(). If the generic way
fails, invoke the platform specific get_hybrid_cpu_type().

The temporary pmu assignment in event_init is unnecessary.
The assignment was introduced by commit 8113070d6639 ("perf_events:
Add fast-path to the rescheduling code"). At that time, event->pmu is
not assigned yet when initializing an event. The assignment is required.
However, from commit 7e5b2a01d2ca ("perf: provide PMU when initing
events"), the event->pmu is provided before event_init is invoked.
The temporary pmu assignment in event_init should be removed.

Some platforms, e.g. Alder Lake, have hybrid architecture. Although most
PMU capabilities are the same, there are still some unique PMU
capabilities for different hybrid PMUs. Perf should register a dedicated
pmu for each hybrid PMU.
Add a new struct x86_hybrid_pmu, which saves the dedicated pmu and
capabilities for each hybrid PMU.
The architecture MSR, MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES, only indicates the
architecture features which are available on all hybrid PMUs. The
architecture features are stored in the global x86_pmu.intel_cap.
For Alder Lake, the model-specific features are perf metrics and
PEBS-via-PT. The corresponding bits of the global x86_pmu.intel_cap
should be 0 for these two features. Perf should not use the global
intel_cap to check the features on a hybrid system.
Add a dedicated intel_cap in the x86_hybrid_pmu to store the
model-specific capabilities. Use the dedicated intel_cap to replace
the global intel_cap for thse two features. The dedicated intel_cap
will be set in the following "Add Alder Lake Hybrid support" patch.
Add is_hybrid() to distinguish a hybrid system. ADL may have an
alternative configuration. With that configuration, the
X86_FEATURE_HYBRID_CPU is not set. Perf cannot rely on the feature bit.
Add a new static_key_false, perf_is_hybrid, to indicate a hybrid system.

Some platforms, e.g. Alder Lake, have hybrid architecture. In the same
package, there may be more than one type of CPU. The PMU capabilities
are different among different types of CPU. Perf will register a
dedicated PMU for each type of CPU.
Add a 'pmu' variable in the struct cpu_hw_events to track the dedicated
PMU of the current CPU.
Current x86_get_pmu() use the global 'pmu', which will be broken on a
hybrid platform. Modify it to apply the 'pmu' of the specific CPU.
Initialize the per-CPU 'pmu' variable with the global 'pmu'. There is
nothing changed for the non-hybrid platforms.
The is_x86_event() will be updated in the later patch ("perf/x86:

platforms, nothing is changed here.

On processors with Intel Hybrid Technology (i.e., one having more than
one type of CPU in the same package), all CPUs support the same
instruction set and enumerate the same features on CPUID. Thus, all
software can run on any CPU without restrictions. However, there may be
model-specific differences among types of CPUs. For instance, each type
of CPU may support a different number of performance counters. Also,
machine check error banks may be wired differently. Even though most
software will not care about these differences, kernel subsystems
dealing with these differences must know.
Add and expose a new helper function get_this_hybrid_cpu_type() to query
the type of the current hybrid CPU. The function will be used later in
the perf subsystem.
The Intel Software Developer's Manual defines the CPU type as 8-bit
identifier.

Add feature enumeration to identify a processor with Intel Hybrid
Technology: one in which CPUs of more than one type are the same package.
On a hybrid processor, all CPUs support the same homogeneous (i.e.,
symmetric) instruction set. All CPUs enumerate the same features in CPUID.
Thus, software (user space and kernel) can run and migrate to any CPU in
the system as well as utilize any of the enumerated features without any
change or special provisions. The main difference among CPUs in a hybrid
processor are power and performance properties.

This patch adds a new software event to count context switches
involving cgroup switches. So it's counted only if cgroups of
previous and next tasks are different. Note that it only checks the
cgroups in the perf_event subsystem. For cgroup v2, it shouldn't
matter anyway.
One can argue that we can do this by using existing sched_switch event
with eBPF. But some systems might not have eBPF for some reason so
I'd like to add this as a simple way.

The 'running' variable is only used in the P4 PMU. Current perf sets the
variable in the critical function x86_pmu_start(), which wastes cycles
for everybody not running on P4.

The p4_pmu_enable_all() also invokes the p4_pmu_enable_event(), but it

Add a kselftest for testing process-wide perf events with synchronous
SIGTRAP on events (using breakpoints). In particular, we want to test
that changes to the event propagate to all children, and the SIGTRAPs
are in fact synchronously sent to the thread where the event occurred.
Note: The "signal_stress" test case is also added later in the series to
perf tool's built-in tests. The test here is more elaborate in that
respect, which on one hand avoids bloating the perf tool unnecessarily,
but we also benefit from structured tests with TAP-compliant output that
the kselftest framework provides.

Adds bit perf_event_attr::sigtrap, which can be set to cause events to
send SIGTRAP (with si_code TRAP_PERF) to the task where the event
occurred. The primary motivation is to support synchronous signals on
perf events in the task where an event (such as breakpoints) triggered.
To distinguish perf events based on the event type, the type is set in
si_errno. For events that are associated with an address, si_addr is
copied from perf_sample_data.
The new field perf_event_attr::sig_data is copied to si_perf, which
allows user space to disambiguate which event (of the same type)
triggered the signal. For example, user space could encode the relevant
information it cares about in sig_data.
We note that the choice of an opaque u64 provides the simplest and most
flexible option. Alternatives where a reference to some user space data
is passed back suffer from the problem that modification of referenced
data (be it the event fd, or the perf_event_attr) can race with the
signal being delivered (of course, the same caveat applies if user space
decides to store a pointer in sig_data, but the ABI explicitly avoids
prescribing such a design).

Make perf_event_exit_event() more robust, such that we can use it from
other contexts. Specifically the up and coming remove_on_exec.
For this to work we need to address a few issues. Remove_on_exec will
not destroy the entire context, so we cannot rely on TASK_TOMBSTONE to
disable event_function_call() and we thus have to use
perf_remove_from_context().
When using perf_remove_from_context(), there's two races to consider.
The first is against close(), where we can have concurrent tear-down
of the event. The second is against child_list iteration, which should
not find a half baked event.
To address this, teach perf_remove_from_context() to special case
!ctx->is_active and about DETACH_CHILD.

Turns out, the default setting of attr.aux_watermark to half of the total
buffer size is not very useful, especially with smaller buffers. The
problem is that, after half of the buffer is filled up, the kernel updates
->aux_head and sets up the next "transaction", while observing that
->aux_tail is still zero (as userspace haven't had the chance to update
it), meaning that the trace will have to stop at the end of this second
"transaction". This means, for example, that the second PERF_RECORD_AUX in
every trace comes with TRUNCATED flag set.
Setting attr.aux_watermark to quarter of the buffer gives enough space for
the ->aux_tail update to be observed and prevents the data loss.
The obligatory before/after showcase:
> # perf_before record -e intel_pt//u -m,8 uname
> Linux
> [ perf record: Woken up 6 times to write data ]
> Warning:
> AUX data lost 4 times out of 10!
>
> [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.099 MB perf.data ]
> # perf record -e intel_pt//u -m,8 uname
> Linux
> [ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ]
> [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.039 MB perf.data ]
The effect is still visible with large workloads and large buffers,
although less pronounced.

Currently, we start allocating AUX pages half the size of the total
requested AUX buffer size, ignoring the attr.aux_watermark setting. This,
in turn, makes intel_pt driver disregard the watermark also, as it uses
page order for its SG (ToPA) configuration.
Now, this can be fixed in the intel_pt PMU driver, but seeing as it's the
only one currently making use of high order allocations, there is no
reason not to fix the allocator instead. This way, any other driver
wishing to add this support would not have to worry about this.

IIO stacks to PMON mapping on Skylake servers is exposed through introduced
early attributes /sys/devices/uncore_iio_<pmu_idx>/dieX, where dieX is a
file which holds "Segment:Root Bus" for PCIe root port which can
be monitored by that IIO PMON block. These sysfs attributes are disabled
for multiple segment topologies except VMD domains which start at 0x10000.
This patch removes the limitation and enables IIO stacks to PMON mapping
for multi-segment Skylake servers by introducing segment-aware
intel_uncore_topology structure and attributing the topology configuration
to the segment in skx_iio_get_topology() function.

The discovery table provides the generic uncore block information
for the MMIO type of uncore blocks, which is good enough to provide
basic uncore support.
The box control field is composed of the BAR address and box control
offset. When initializing the uncore blocks, perf should ioremap the
address from the box control field.

The discovery table provides the generic uncore block information
for the PCI type of uncore blocks, which is good enough to provide
basic uncore support.
The PCI BUS and DEVFN information can be retrieved from the box control
field. Introduce the uncore_pci_pmus_register() to register all the
PCICFG type of uncore blocks. The old PCI probe/remove way is dropped.
The PCI BUS and DEVFN information are different among dies. Add box_ctls
to store the box control field of each die.
Add a new BUS notifier for the PCI type of uncore block to support the
hotplug. If the device is "hot remove", the corresponding registered PMU
has to be unregistered. Perf cannot locate the PMU by searching a const
pci_device_id table, because the discovery tables don't provide such
information. Introduce uncore_pci_find_dev_pmu_from_types() to search
the whole uncore_pci_uncores for the PMU.
Implement generic support for the PCI type of uncore block.

Perf will use a similar method to the PCI sub driver to register
the PMUs for the PCI type of uncore blocks. The method requires a BUS
notifier to support hotplug. The current BUS notifier cannot be reused,
because it searches a const id_table for the corresponding registered
PMU. The PCI type of uncore blocks in the discovery tables doesn't
provide an id_table.
Factor out uncore_bus_notify() and add the pointer of an id_table as a
parameter. The uncore_bus_notify() will be reused in the following
patch.
The current BUS notifier is only used by the PCI sub driver. Its name is
too generic. Rename it to uncore_pci_sub_notifier, which is specific for
the PCI sub driver.

The discovery table provides the generic uncore block information for
the MSR type of uncore blocks, e.g., the counter width, the number of
counters, the location of control/counter registers, which is good
enough to provide basic uncore support. It can be used as a fallback
solution when the kernel doesn't support a platform.
The name of the uncore box cannot be retrieved from the discovery table.
uncore_type_&typeID_&boxID will be used as its name. Save the type ID
and the box ID information in the struct intel_uncore_type.
Factor out uncore_get_pmu_name() to handle different naming methods.
Implement generic support for the MSR type of uncore block.
Some advanced features, such as filters and constraints, cannot be
retrieved from discovery tables. Features that rely on that
information are not be supported here.

A self-describing mechanism for the uncore PerfMon hardware has been
introduced with the latest Intel platforms. By reading through an MMIO
page worth of information, perf can 'discover' all the standard uncore
PerfMon registers in a machine.
The discovery mechanism relies on BIOS's support. With a proper BIOS,
a PCI device with the unique capability ID 0x23 can be found on each
die. Perf can retrieve the information of all available uncore PerfMons
from the device via MMIO. The information is composed of one global
discovery table and several unit discovery tables.
- The global discovery table includes global uncore information of the
die, e.g., the address of the global control register, the offset of
the global status register, the number of uncore units, the offset of
unit discovery tables, etc.
- The unit discovery table includes generic uncore unit information,
e.g., the access type, the counter width, the address of counters,
the address of the counter control, the unit ID, the unit type, etc.
The unit is also called "box" in the code.
Perf can provide basic uncore support based on this information
with the following patches.
To locate the PCI device with the discovery tables, check the generic
PCI ID first. If it doesn't match, go through the entire PCI device tree
and locate the device with the unique capability ID.
The uncore information is similar among dies. To save parsing time and
space, only completely parse and store the discovery tables on the first
die and the first box of each die. The parsed information is stored in
an
RB tree structure, intel_uncore_discovery_type. The size of the stored
discovery tables varies among platforms. It's around 4KB for a Sapphire
Rapids server.
If a BIOS doesn't support the 'discovery' mechanism, the uncore driver
will exit with -ENODEV. There is nothing changed.
Add a module parameter to disable the discovery feature. If a BIOS gets
the discovery tables wrong, users can have an option to disable the
feature. For the current patchset, the uncore driver will exit with
-ENODEV. In the future, it may fall back to the hardcode uncore driver
on a known platform.

Currently, the lockdown state is queried unconditionally, even though
its result is used only if the PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR bit is set in
attr.sample_type. While that doesn't matter in case of the Lockdown LSM,
it causes trouble with the SELinux's lockdown hook implementation.
SELinux implements the locked_down hook with a check whether the current
task's type has the corresponding "lockdown" class permission
("integrity" or "confidentiality") allowed in the policy. This means
that calling the hook when the access control decision would be ignored
generates a bogus permission check and audit record.
Fix this by checking sample_type first and only calling the hook when
its result would be honored.

For cpu events, it'd better allocating them in the corresponding node
memory as they would be mostly accessed by the target cpu. Although
perf tools sets the cpu affinity before calling perf_event_open, there
are places it doesn't (notably perf record) and we should consider
other external users too.

The kernel can allocate a lot of struct perf_event when profiling. For
example, 256 cpu x 8 events x 20 cgroups = 40K instances of the struct
would be allocated on a large system.
The size of struct perf_event in my setup is 1152 byte. As it's
allocated by kmalloc, the actual allocation size would be rounded up
to 2K.
Then there's 896 byte (~43%) of waste per instance resulting in total
~35MB with 40K instances. We can create a dedicated kmem_cache to
avoid such a big unnecessary memory consumption.
With this change, I can see below (note this machine has 112 cpus).
# grep perf_event /proc/slabinfo
perf_event 224 784 1152 7 2 : tunables 24 12 8 : slabdata 112 112 0
The sixth column is pages-per-slab which is 2, and the fifth column is
obj-per-slab which is 7. Thus actually it can use 1152 x 7 = 8064
byte in the 8K, and wasted memory is (8192 - 8064) / 7 = ~18 byte per
instance.

Doing a
prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_AUXV, addr, 1);
will copy 1 byte from userspace to (quite big) on-stack array
and then stash everything to mm->saved_auxv.
AT_NULL terminator will be inserted at the very end.
/proc/*/auxv handler will find that AT_NULL terminator
and copy original stack contents to userspace.
This devious scheme requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.
