Arm SPEv1.2 adds another 64-bits of event filtering control. As the
existing perf_event_attr::configN fields are all used up for SPE PMU, an
additional field is needed. Add a new 'config3' field.

branch_entry.type now has ran out of space to accommodate more branch types
classification. This will prevent perf branch stack implementation on arm64
(via BRBE) to capture all available branch types. Extending this bit field
i.e branch_entry.type [4 bits] is not an option as it will break user space
ABI both for little and big endian perf tools.
Extend branch classification with a new field branch_entry.new_type via a
new branch type PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI in branch_entry.type. Perf tools which
could decode PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, will then parse branch_entry.new_type as
well.
branch_entry.new_type is a 4 bit field which can hold upto 16 branch types.
The first three branch types will hold various generic page faults followed
by five architecture specific branch types, which can be overridden by the
platform for specific use cases. These architecture specific branch types
gets overridden on arm64 platform for BRBE implementation.
New generic branch types
- PERF_BR_NEW_FAULT_ALGN
- PERF_BR_NEW_FAULT_DATA
- PERF_BR_NEW_FAULT_INST
New arch specific branch types
- PERF_BR_NEW_ARCH_1

This expands generic branch type classification by adding two more entries
there in i.e system error and not in transaction. This also updates the x86
implementation to process X86_BR_NO_TX records as appropriate. This changes
branch types reported to user space on x86 platform but it should not be a
problem. The possible scenarios and impacts are enumerated here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| kernel | perf tool | Impact |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| old | old | Works as before |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| old | new | PERF_BR_UNKNOWN is processed |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| new | old | PERF_BR_NO_TX is blocked via old PERF_BR_MAX |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| new | new | PERF_BR_NO_TX is recognized |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When PERF_BR_NO_TX is blocked via old PERF_BR_MAX (new kernel with old perf
tool) the user space might throw up an warning complaining about an
unrecognized branch types being reported, but it's expected. PERF_BR_SERROR
& PERF_BR_NO_TX branch types will be used for BRBE implementation on arm64
platform.
PERF_BR_NO_TX complements 'abort' and 'in_tx' elements in perf_branch_entry
which represent other transaction states for a given branch record. Because
this completes the transaction state classification.

Hi Linus,
Please, pull the following treewide patch that replaces zero-length arrays
with flexible-array members in UAPI. This patch has been baking in
linux-next for 5 weeks now.
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes
to prevent issues like these in the short future:
../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0,
but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source]
strcpy(de3->name, ".");
^
Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If
this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.

Due to the alignment requirements of siginfo_t, as described in
3ddb3fd8cd ("signal, perf: Fix siginfo_t by avoiding u64 on 32-bit
architectures"), siginfo_t::si_perf_data is limited to an unsigned long.
However, perf_event_attr::sig_data is an u64, to avoid having to deal
with compat conversions. Due to being an u64, it may not immediately be
clear to users that sig_data is truncated on 32 bit architectures.
Add a comment to explicitly point this out, and hopefully help some

PEBS-via-PT records contain a mask of applicable counters. To identify
which event belongs to which counter, a side-band event is needed. Until
now, there has been no side-band event, and consequently users were limited
to using a single event.
Add such a side-band event. Note the event is optimised to output only
when the counter index changes for an event. That works only so long as
all PEBS-via-PT events are scheduled together, which they are for a
recording session because they are in a single group.
Also no attribute bit is used to select the new event, so a new
kernel is not compatible with older perf tools. The assumption
being that PEBS-via-PT is sufficiently esoteric that users will not
be troubled by this.

Pull siginfo fix from Eric Biederman:
"During the merge window an issue with si_perf and the siginfo ABI came
up. The alpha and sparc siginfo structure layout had changed with the
addition of SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF and the new field si_perf.
The reason only alpha and sparc were affected is that they are the
only architectures that use si_trapno.
Looking deeper it was discovered that si_trapno is used for only a few
select signals on alpha and sparc, and that none of the other
_sigfault fields past si_addr are used at all. Which means technically
no regression on alpha and sparc.
While the alignment concerns might be dismissed the abuse of si_errno
by SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF does have the potential to cause regressions in
existing userspace.
While we still have time before userspace starts using and depending
on the new definition siginfo for SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF this set of
changes cleans up siginfo_t.
- The si_trapno field is demoted from magic alpha and sparc status
and made an ordinary union member of the _sigfault member of
siginfo_t. Without moving it of course.
- si_perf is replaced with si_perf_data and si_perf_type ending the
abuse of si_errno.
- Unnecessary additions to signalfd_siginfo are removed"

Current Hardware events and Hardware cache events have special perf
types, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE. The two types don't
pass the PMU type in the user interface. For a hybrid system, the perf
subsystem doesn't know which PMU the events belong to. The first capable
PMU will always be assigned to the events. The events never get a chance
to run on the other capable PMUs.
Extend the two types to become PMU aware types. The PMU type ID is
stored at attr.config[63:32].
Add a new PMU capability, PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_HW_TYPE, to indicate a
PMU which supports the extended PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and
PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE.
The PMU type is only required when searching a specific PMU. The PMU
specific codes will only be interested in the 'real' config value, which
is stored in the low 32 bit of the event->attr.config. Update the
event->attr.config in the generic code, so the PMU specific codes don't
need to calculate it separately.
If a user specifies a PMU type, but the PMU doesn't support the extended
type, error out.
If an event cannot be initialized in a PMU specified by a user, error
out immediately. Perf should not try to open it on other PMUs.
The new PMU capability is only set for the X86 hybrid PMUs for now.
Other architectures, e.g., ARM, may need it as well. The support on ARM
may be implemented later separately.

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.

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).

CoreSight PMU supports aux-buffer for the ETM tracing. The trace
generated by the ETM (associated with individual CPUs, like Intel PT)
is captured by a separate IP (CoreSight TMC-ETR/ETF until now).
The TMC-ETR applies formatting of the raw ETM trace data, as it
can collect traces from multiple ETMs, with the TraceID to indicate
the source of a given trace packet.
Arm Trace Buffer Extension is new "sink" IP, attached to individual
CPUs and thus do not provide additional formatting, like TMC-ETR.
Additionally, a system could have both TRBE *and* TMC-ETR for
the trace collection. e.g, TMC-ETR could be used as a single
trace buffer to collect data from multiple ETMs to correlate
the traces from different CPUs. It is possible to have a
perf session where some events end up collecting the trace
in TMC-ETR while the others in TRBE. Thus we need a way
to identify the type of the trace for each AUX record.
Define the trace formats exported by the CoreSight PMU.
We don't define the flags following the "ETM" as this
information is available to the user when issuing
the session. What is missing is the additional
formatting applied by the "sink" which is decided
at the runtime and the user may not have a control on.
So we define :
- CORESIGHT format (indicates the Frame format)
- RAW format (indicates the format of the source)
The default value is CORESIGHT format for all the records
(i,e == 0). Add the RAW format for others that use
raw format.

Allocate a byte for advertising the PMU specific format type
of the given AUX record. A PMU could end up providing hardware
trace data in multiple format in a single session.
e.g, The format of hardware buffer produced by CoreSight ETM
PMU depends on the type of the "sink" device used for collection
for an event (Traditional TMC-ETR/Bs with formatting or
TRBEs without any formatting).
# Boring story of why this is needed. Goto The_End_of_Story for skipping.
CoreSight ETM trace allows instruction level tracing of Arm CPUs.
The ETM generates the CPU excecution trace and pumps it into CoreSight
AMBA Trace Bus and is collected by a different CoreSight component
(traditionally CoreSight TMC-ETR /ETB/ETF), called "sink".
Important to note that there is no guarantee that every CPU has
a dedicated sink. Thus multiple ETMs could pump the trace data
into the same "sink" and thus they apply additional formatting
of the trace data for the user to decode it properly and attribute
the trace data to the corresponding ETM.
However, with the introduction of Arm Trace buffer Extensions (TRBE),
we now have a dedicated per-CPU architected sink for collecting the
trace. Since the TRBE is always per-CPU, it doesn't apply any formatting
of the trace. The support for this driver is under review [1].
Now a system could have a per-cpu TRBE and one or more shared
TMC-ETRs on the system. A user could choose a "specific" sink
for a perf session (e.g, a TMC-ETR) or the driver could automatically
select the nearest sink for a given ETM. It is possible that
some ETMs could end up using TMC-ETR (e.g, if the TRBE is not
usable on the CPU) while the others using TRBE in a single
perf session. Thus we now have "formatted" trace collected
from TMC-ETR and "unformatted" trace collected from TRBE.
However, we don't get into a situation where a single event
could end up using TMC-ETR & TRBE. i.e, any AUX buffer is
guaranteed to be either RAW or FORMATTED, but not a mix
of both.
As for perf decoding, we need to know the type of the data
in the individual AUX buffers, so that it can set up the
"OpenCSD" (library for decoding CoreSight trace) decoder
instance appropriately. Thus the perf.data file must conatin
the hints for the tool to decode the data correctly.
Since this is a runtime variable, and perf tool doesn't have
a control on what sink gets used (in case of automatic sink
selection), we need this information made available from
the PMU driver for each AUX record.

Add perf core PMU support for the Intel Sapphire Rapids server, which is
the successor of the Intel Ice Lake server. The enabling code is based
on Ice Lake, but there are several new features introduced.
The event encoding is changed and simplified, e.g., the event codes
which are below 0x90 are restricted to counters 0-3. The event codes
which above 0x90 are likely to have no restrictions. The event
constraints, extra_regs(), and hardware cache events table are changed
accordingly.
A new Precise Distribution (PDist) facility is introduced, which
further minimizes the skid when a precise event is programmed on the GP
counter 0. Enable the Precise Distribution (PDist) facility with :ppp
event. For this facility to work, the period must be initialized with a
value larger than 127. Add spr_limit_period() to apply the limit for
:ppp event.
Two new data source fields, data block & address block, are added in the
PEBS Memory Info Record for the load latency event. To enable the
feature,
- An auxiliary event has to be enabled together with the load latency
event on Sapphire Rapids. A new flag PMU_FL_MEM_LOADS_AUX is
introduced to indicate the case. A new event, mem-loads-aux, is
exposed to sysfs for the user tool.
Add a check in hw_config(). If the auxiliary event is not detected,
return an unique error -ENODATA.
- The union perf_mem_data_src is extended to support the new fields.
- Ice Lake and earlier models do not support block information, but the
fields may be set by HW on some machines. Add pebs_no_block to
explicitly indicate the previous platforms which don't support the new
block fields. Accessing the new block fields are ignored on those
platforms.
A new store Latency facility is introduced, which leverages the PEBS
facility where it can provide additional information about sampled
stores. The additional information includes the data address, memory
auxiliary info (e.g. Data Source, STLB miss) and the latency of the
store access. To enable the facility, the new event (0x02cd) has to be
programed on the GP counter 0. A new flag PERF_X86_EVENT_PEBS_STLAT is
introduced to indicate the event. The store_latency_data() is introduced
to parse the memory auxiliary info.
The layout of access latency field of PEBS Memory Info Record has been
changed. Two latency, instruction latency (bit 15:0) and cache access
latency (bit 47:32) are recorded.
- The cache access latency is similar to previous memory access latency.
For loads, the latency starts by the actual cache access until the
data is returned by the memory subsystem.
For stores, the latency starts when the demand write accesses the L1
data cache and lasts until the cacheline write is completed in the
memory subsystem.
The cache access latency is stored in low 32bits of the sample type
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.
- The instruction latency starts by the dispatch of the load operation
for execution and lasts until completion of the instruction it belongs
to.
Add a new flag PMU_FL_INSTR_LATENCY to indicate the instruction
latency support. The instruction latency is stored in the bit 47:32
of the sample type PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.
Extends the PERF_METRICS MSR to feature TMA method level 2 metrics. The
lower half of the register is the TMA level 1 metrics (legacy). The
upper half is also divided into four 8-bit fields for the new level 2
metrics. Expose all eight Topdown metrics events to user space.

Current PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type is very useful to expresses the
cost of an action represented by the sample. This allows the profiler
to scale the samples to be more informative to the programmer. It could
also help to locate a hotspot, e.g., when profiling by memory latencies,
the expensive load appear higher up in the histograms. But current
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type is solely determined by one factor. This
could be a problem, if users want two or more factors to contribute to
the weight. For example, Golden Cove core PMU can provide both the
instruction latency and the cache Latency information as factors for the
memory profiling.
For current X86 platforms, although meminfo::latency is defined as a
u64, only the lower 32 bits include the valid data in practice (No
memory access could last than 4G cycles). The higher 32 bits can be used
to store new factors.
Add a new sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, to indicate the new
sample weight structure. It shares the same space as the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type.
Users can apply either the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type or the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type to retrieve the sample weight, but
they cannot apply both sample types simultaneously.
Currently, only X86 and PowerPC use the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type.
- For PowerPC, there is nothing changed for the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT
sample type. There is no effect for the new PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT
sample type. PowerPC can re-struct the weight field similarly later.
- For X86, the same value will be dumped for the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT
sample type or the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type for now.
The following patches will apply the new factors for the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type.
The field in the union perf_sample_weight should be shared among
different architectures. A generic name is required, but it's hard to
abstract a name that applies to all architectures. For example, on X86,
the fields are to store all kinds of latency. While on PowerPC, it
stores MMCRA[TECX/TECM], which should not be latency. So a general name
prefix 'var$NUM' is used here.

When studying code layout, it is useful to capture the page size of the

Add a new sample type for code page size.
The new sample type requires collecting the ip. The code page size can
be calculated from the NMI-safe perf_get_page_size().
For large PEBS, it's very unlikely that the mapping is gone for the

Current perf can report both virtual addresses and physical addresses,
but not the MMU page size. Without the MMU page size information of the
utilized page, users cannot decide whether to promote/demote large pages
to optimize memory usage.
Add a new sample type for the data MMU page size.
Current perf already has a facility to collect data virtual addresses.
A page walker is required to walk the pages tables and calculate the
MMU page size from a given virtual address.
On some platforms, e.g., X86, the page walker is invoked in an NMI
handler. So the page walker must be NMI-safe and low overhead. Besides,
the page walker should work for both user and kernel virtual address.
The existing generic page walker, e.g., walk_page_range_novma(), is a
little bit complex and doesn't guarantee the NMI-safe. The follow_page()
is only for user-virtual address.
Add a new function perf_get_page_size() to walk the page tables and
calculate the MMU page size. In the function:
- Interrupts have to be disabled to prevent any teardown of the page
tables.
- For user space threads, the current->mm is used for the page walker.
For kernel threads and the like, the current->mm is NULL. The init_mm
is used for the page walker. The active_mm is not used here, because
it can be NULL.
Quote from Peter Zijlstra,
"context_switch() can set prev->active_mm to NULL when it transfers it
to @next. It does this before @current is updated. So an NMI that
comes in between this active_mm swizzling and updating @current will
see !active_mm."
- The MMU page size is calculated from the page table level.
The method should work for all architectures, but it has only been
verified on X86. Should there be some architectures, which support perf,
where the method doesn't work, it can be fixed later separately.
Reporting the wrong page size would not be fatal for the architecture.
Some under discussion features may impact the method in the future.
Quote from Dave Hansen,
"There are lots of weird things folks are trying to do with the page
tables, like Address Space Isolation. For instance, if you get a
perf NMI when running userspace, current->mm->pgd is *different* than
the PGD that was in use when userspace was running. It's close enough
today, but it might not stay that way."
If the case happens later, lots of consecutive page walk errors will
happen. The worst case is that lots of page-size '0' are returned, which
would not be fatal.
In the perf tool, a check is implemented to detect this case. Once it
happens, a kernel patch could be implemented accordingly then.

Record (single instruction) changes to the kernel text (i.e.
self-modifying code) in order to support tracers like Intel PT and
ARM CoreSight.
A copy of the running kernel code is needed as a reference point (e.g.
from /proc/kcore). The text poke event records the old bytes and the
new bytes so that the event can be processed forwards or backwards.
The basic problem is recording the modified instruction in an
unambiguous manner given SMP instruction cache (in)coherence. That is,
when modifying an instruction concurrently any solution with one or
multiple timestamps is not sufficient:
CPU0 CPU1
0
1 write insn A
2 execute insn A
3 sync-I$
4
Due to I$, CPU1 might execute either the old or new A. No matter where
we record tracepoints on CPU0, one simply cannot tell what CPU1 will
have observed, except that at 0 it must be the old one and at 4 it
must be the new one.
To solve this, take inspiration from x86 text poking, which has to
solve this exact problem due to variable length instruction encoding
and I-fetch windows.
1) overwrite the instruction with a breakpoint and sync I$
This guarantees that that code flow will never hit the target
instruction anymore, on any CPU (or rather, it will cause an
exception).
2) issue the TEXT_POKE event
3) overwrite the breakpoint with the new instruction and sync I$
Now we know that any execution after the TEXT_POKE event will either
observe the breakpoint (and hit the exception) or the new instruction.
So by guarding the TEXT_POKE event with an exception on either side;
we can now tell, without doubt, which instruction another CPU will
have observed.

The PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP bit is to save (perf_event) cgroup information in
the sample. It will add a 64-bit id to identify current cgroup and it's
the file handle in the cgroup file system. Userspace should use this
information with PERF_RECORD_CGROUP event to match which cgroup it
belongs.
I put it before PERF_SAMPLE_AUX for simplicity since it just needs a
64-bit word. But if we want bigger samples, I can work on that
direction too.

To support cgroup tracking, add CGROUP event to save a link between
cgroup path and id number. This is needed since cgroups can go away
when userspace tries to read the cgroup info (from the id) later.
The attr.cgroup bit was also added to enable cgroup tracking from
userspace.
This event will be generated when a new cgroup becomes active.
Userspace might need to synthesize those events for existing cgroups.
Committer testing:

The low level index is the index in the underlying hardware buffer of
the most recently captured taken branch which is always saved in
branch_entries[0]. It is very useful for reconstructing the call stack.
For example, in Intel LBR call stack mode, the depth of reconstructed
LBR call stack limits to the number of LBR registers. With the low level
index information, perf tool may stitch the stacks of two samples. The
reconstructed LBR call stack can break the HW limitation.
Add a new branch sample type to retrieve low level index of raw branch
records. The low level index is between -1 (unknown) and max depth which
can be retrieved in /sys/devices/cpu/caps/branches.
Only when the new branch sample type is set, the low level index
information is dumped into the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK output.
Perf tool should check the attr.branch_sample_type, and apply the
corresponding format for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK samples.
Otherwise, some user case may be broken. For example, users may parse a
perf.data, which include the new branch sample type, with an old version
perf tool (without the check). Users probably get incorrect information
without any warning.

AUX data can be used to annotate perf events such as performance counters
or tracepoints/breakpoints by including it in sample records when
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX flag is set. Such samples would be instrumental in debugging
and profiling by providing, for example, a history of instruction flow
leading up to the event's overflow.
The implementation makes use of grouping an AUX event with all the events
that wish to take samples of the AUX data, such that the former is the
group leader. The samplees should also specify the desired size of the AUX
sample via attr.aux_sample_size.
AUX capable PMUs need to explicitly add support for sampling, because it
relies on a new callback to take a snapshot of the buffer without touching
the event states.

In some cases, ordinary (non-AUX) events can generate data for AUX events.
For example, PEBS events can come out as records in the Intel PT stream
instead of their usual DS records, if configured to do so.
One requirement for such events is to consistently schedule together, to
ensure that the data from the "AUX output" events isn't lost while their
corresponding AUX event is not scheduled. We use grouping to provide this
guarantee: an "AUX output" event can be added to a group where an AUX event
is a group leader, and provided that the former supports writing to the
latter.

For better performance analysis of BPF programs, this patch introduces
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, a new perf_event_type that exposes BPF program
load/unload information to user space.
Each BPF program may contain up to BPF_MAX_SUBPROGS (256) sub programs.
The following example shows kernel symbols for a BPF program with 7 sub
programs:
ffffffffa0257cf9 t bpf_prog_b07ccb89267cf242_F
ffffffffa02592e1 t bpf_prog_2dcecc18072623fc_F
ffffffffa025b0e9 t bpf_prog_bb7a405ebaec5d5c_F
ffffffffa025dd2c t bpf_prog_a7540d4a39ec1fc7_F
ffffffffa025fcca t bpf_prog_05762d4ade0e3737_F
ffffffffa026108f t bpf_prog_db4bd11e35df90d4_F
ffffffffa0263f00 t bpf_prog_89d64e4abf0f0126_F
ffffffffa0257cf9 t bpf_prog_ae31629322c4b018__dummy_tracepoi
When a bpf program is loaded, PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL is generated for each
of these sub programs. Therefore, PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is not needed
for simple profiling.
For annotation, user space need to listen to PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and
gather more information about these (sub) programs via sys_bpf.
