Will Deacon 5727347180 ARM: 7354/1: perf: limit sample_period to half max_period in non-sampling mode
On ARM, the PMU does not stop counting after an overflow and therefore
IRQ latency affects the new counter value read by the kernel. This is
significant for non-sampling runs where it is possible for the new value
to overtake the previous one, causing the delta to be out by up to
max_period events.

Commit a737823d ("ARM: 6835/1: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due
to IRQ latency") attempted to fix this problem by allowing interrupt
handlers to pass an overflow flag to the event update function, causing
the overflow calculation to assume that the counter passed through zero
when going from prev to new. Unfortunately, this doesn't work when
overflow occurs on the perf_task_tick path because we have the flag
cleared and end up computing a large negative delta.

This patch removes the overflow flag from armpmu_event_update and
instead limits the sample_period to half of the max_period for
non-sampling profiling runs.

Will Deacon 6bd054096d ARM: 7185/1: perf: don't assign platform_device on unsupported CPUs
In the unlikely case that a platform registers a PMU platform_device
when running on a CPU that is unsupported by perf, we will encounter a
NULL dereference when trying to assign the platform_device to the
cpu_pmu structure.

This patch checks that the CPU is supported by perf before assigning
the platform_device.

When validating an event group, we call pmu->get_event_idx for each

As a result of 3fc2c830 ("ARM: perf: remove event limit from

Mark Rutland 7325eaec43 ARM: perf: Remove unnecessary armpmu->enable()s
Currently, armpmu_enable iterates through the events for a given
counter set, calling armpmu->enable on each before calling
armpmu->start to start the PMU's counters.

As armpmu->enable is called when each event is added, each event is

Mark Rutland 8be3f9a238 ARM: perf: remove cpu-related misnomers
Currently struct cpu_hw_events stores data on events running on a
PMU associated with a CPU. As this data is general enough to be used
for system PMUs, this name is a misnomer, and may cause confusion when
it is used for system PMUs.

Additionally, 'armpmu' is commonly used as a parameter name for an
instance of struct arm_pmu. The name is also used for a global instance
which represents the CPU's PMU.

As cpu_hw_events is now not tied to CPU PMUs, it is renamed to
pmu_hw_events, with instances of it renamed similarly. As the global
'armpmu' is CPU-specfic, it is renamed to cpu_pmu. This should make it
clearer which code is generic, and which is coupled with the CPU.

This patch replaces the static struct pmu instance with a member

Sonny Rao 860ad7823f ARM: 6884/1: Fix infinite loop in ARM user perf_event backtrace code
The ARM user backtrace code can get into an infinite loop if it
runs into an invalid stack frame which points back to itself.
This situation has been observed in practice.  Fix it by capping
the number of entries in the backtrace.  This is also what other
architectures do in their backtrace code.

Will Deacon 6759788b94 ARM: 6865/1: perf: ensure pass through zero is counted on overflow
Commit a737823d ("ARM: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due to IRQ
latency") changed the way that event deltas are calculated on overflow
so that we don't miss events when the new count value overtakes the
previous one.

Unfortunately, we forget to count the event that passes through zero so
we end up being off by 1. This patch adds on the correction.

Will Deacon a737823d37 ARM: 6835/1: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due to IRQ latency
If a counter overflows during a perf stat profiling run it may overtake
the last known value of the counter:

    0        prev     new                0xffffffff
    |----------|-------|----------------------|

In this case, the number of events that have occurred is
(0xffffffff - prev) + new. Unfortunately, the event update code will
not realise an overflow has occurred and will instead report the event
delta as (new - prev) which may be considerably smaller than the real
count.

This patch adds an extra argument to armpmu_event_update which indicates
whether or not an overflow has occurred. If an overflow has occurred
then we use the maximum period of the counter to calculate the elapsed
events.

Will Deacon 574b69cbb6 ARM: 6834/1: perf: reset counters on all CPUs during initialisation
ARMv7 dictates that the interrupt-enable and count-enable registers for
each PMU counter are UNKNOWN following core reset.

This patch adds a new (optional) function pointer to struct arm_pmu for
resetting the PMU state during init. The reset function is called on
each CPU via an arch_initcall in the generic ARM perf_event code and
allows the PMU backend to write sane values to any UNKNOWN registers.

Rabin Vincent cb06199b1d ARM: 6654/1: perf/oprofile: fix off-by-one in stack check
Since tail is the previous fp - 1, we need to compare the new fp with tail + 1
to ensure that we don't end up passing in the same tail again, in order to
avoid a potential infinite loop in the perf interrupt handler (which has been
observed to occur).  A similar fix seems to be needed in the OProfile code.

Peter Zijlstra 2e80a82a49 perf: Dynamic pmu types
Extend the perf_pmu_register() interface to allow for named and
dynamic pmu types.

Because we need to support the existing static types we cannot use
dynamic types for everything, hence provide a type argument.

If we want to enumerate the PMUs they need a name, provide one.

Will Deacon 961ec6daa7 ARM: 6521/1: perf: use raw_spinlock_t for pmu_lock
For kernels built with PREEMPT_RT, critical sections protected
by standard spinlocks are preemptible. This is not acceptable
on perf as (a) we may be scheduled onto a different CPU whilst
reading/writing banked PMU registers and (b) the latency when
reading the PMU registers becomes unpredictable.

This patch upgrades the pmu_lock spinlock to a raw_spinlock
instead.
