x86/events/intel/ds: Fix bts_interrupt_threshold alignment

Markus reported that BTS is sporadically missing the tail of the trace
in the perf_event data buffer: [decode error (1): instruction overflow]
shown in GDB; and bisected it to the conversion of debug_store to PTI.

A little "optimization" crept into alloc_bts_buffer(), which mistakenly
placed bts_interrupt_threshold away from the 24-byte record boundary.
Intel SDM Vol 3B 17.4.9 says "This address must point to an offset from
the BTS buffer base that is a multiple of the BTS record size."

Revert "max" from a byte count to a record count, to calculate the
bts_interrupt_threshold correctly: which turns out to fix problem seen.

perf/x86/intel: Move regs->flags EXACT bit init

This patch removes a redundant store on regs->flags introduced
by commit:

71eb9ee9596d ("perf/x86/intel: Fix linear IP of PEBS real_ip on Haswell and later CPUs")

We were clearing the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT but it was overwritten by
regs->flags = pebs->flags later on.

The PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT is a software flag using bit 3 of regs->flags.
X86 marks this bit as Reserved. To make sure this bit is zero before
we do any IP processing, we clear it explicitly.

Patch also removes the following assignment:

regs->flags = pebs->flags | (regs->flags & PERF_EFLAGS_VM);

Because there is no regs->flags to preserve anymore because
set_linear_ip() is not called until later.

perf/x86/intel: Fix linear IP of PEBS real_ip on Haswell and later CPUs

perf/x86/intel: Fix linear IP of PEBS real_ip on Haswell and later CPUs

this patch fix a bug in how the pebs->real_ip is handled in the PEBS
handler. real_ip only exists in Haswell and later processor. It is
actually the eventing IP, i.e., where the event occurred. As opposed
to the pebs->ip which is the PEBS interrupt IP which is always off
by one.

The problem is that the real_ip just like the IP needs to be fixed up
because PEBS does not record all the machine state registers, and
in particular the code segement (cs). This is why we have the set_linear_ip()
function. The problem was that set_linear_ip() was only used on the pebs->ip
and not the pebs->real_ip.

We have profiles which ran into invalid callstacks because of this.
Here is an example:

..... 0: ffffffffffffff80 recent entry, marker kernel v
..... 1: 000000000040044d <= user address in kernel space!
..... 2: fffffffffffffe00 marker enter user v
..... 3: 000000000040044d
..... 4: 00000000004004b6 oldest entry

Debugging output in get_perf_callchain():

[ 857.769909] CALLCHAIN: CPU8 ip=40044d regs->cs=10 user_mode(regs)=0

The problem is that the kernel entry in 1: points to a user level
address. How can that be?

The reason is that with PEBS sampling the instruction that caused the event
to occur and the instruction where the CPU was when the interrupt was posted
may be far apart. And sometime during that time window, the privilege level may
change. This happens, for instance, when the PEBS sample is taken close to a
kernel entry point. Here PEBS, eventing IP (real_ip) captured a user level
instruction. But by the time the PMU interrupt fired, the processor had already
entered kernel space. This is why the debug output shows a user address with
user_mode() false.

The problem comes from PEBS not recording the code segment (cs) register.
The register is used in x86_64 to determine if executing in kernel vs user
space. This is okay because the kernel has a software workaround called
set_linear_ip(). But the issue in setup_pebs_sample_data() is that
set_linear_ip() is never called on the real_ip value when it is available
(Haswell and later) and precise_ip > 1.

This patch fixes this problem and eliminates the callchain discrepancy.

The patch restructures the code around set_linear_ip() to minimize the number
of times the IP has to be set.

There is no way to get exact auto-reload times and values which are needed
for event updates unless we flush the PEBS buffer.

Introduce intel_pmu_auto_reload_read() to drain the PEBS buffer for
auto reload event. To prevent races with the hardware, we can only
call drain_pebs() when the PMU is disabled.

perf/x86/intel: Fix event update for auto-reload

There is a bug when reading event->count with large PEBS enabled.

Here is an example:

# ./read_count
0x71f0
0x122c0
0x1000000001c54
0x100

perf/x86/intel: Fix event update for auto-reload

There is a bug when reading event->count with large PEBS enabled.

Here is an example:

# ./read_count
0x71f0
0x122c0
0x1000000001c54
0x100000001257d
0x200000000bdc5

In fixed period mode, the auto-reload mechanism could be enabled for
PEBS events, but the calculation of event->count does not take the
auto-reload values into account.

Anyone who reads event->count will get the wrong result, e.g x86_pmu_read().

This bug was introduced with the auto-reload mechanism enabled since
commit:

851559e35fd5 ("perf/x86/intel: Use the PEBS auto reload mechanism when possible")

Introduce intel_pmu_save_and_restart_reload() to calculate the
event->count only for auto-reload.

Since the counter increments a negative counter value and overflows on
the sign switch, giving the interval:

[-period, 0]

the difference between two consequtive reads is:

A) value2 - value1;
when no overflows have happened in between,
B) (0 - value1) + (value2 - (-period));
when one overflow happened in between,
C) (0 - value1) + (n - 1) * (period) + (value2 - (-period));
when @n overflows happened in between.

Here A) is the obvious difference, B) is the extension to the discrete
interval, where the first term is to the top of the interval and the
second term is from the bottom of the next interval and C) the extension
to multiple intervals, where the middle term is the whole intervals
covered.

The equation for all cases is:

value2 - value1 + n * period

Previously the event->count is updated right before the sample output.
But for case A, there is no PEBS record ready. It needs to be specially
handled.

Remove the auto-reload code from x86_perf_event_set_period() since
we'll not longer call that function in this case.

set_pte_vaddr is used to map the ds buffers into the cpu entry area, but
there are two problems with that:

1) The resulting flush is not supposed to be called in preemptible context

2) The cpu entry area is supposed to be per CPU, but the debug store
buffers are mapped for all CPUs so these mappings need to be flushed
globally.

Add the necessary preemption protection across the mapping code and flush
TLBs globally.

x86/events/intel/ds: Map debug buffers in cpu_entry_area

The BTS and PEBS buffers both have their virtual addresses programmed into
the hardware. This means that any access to them is performed via the page
tables. The times that the hardware accesses these are entirely dependent
on how the performance monitoring hardware events are set up. In other
words, there is no way for the kernel to tell when the hardware might
access these buffers.

To avoid perf crashes, place 'debug_store' allocate pages and map them into
the cpu_entry_area.

The PEBS fixup buffer does not need this treatment.

x86/cpu_entry_area: Add debugstore entries to cpu_entry_area

The Intel PEBS/BTS debug store is a design trainwreck as it expects virtual
addresses which must be visible in any execution context.

So it is required to make these mappings visible to user space when kernel
page table isolation is active.

Provide enough room for the buffer mappings in the cpu_entry_area so the
buffers are available in the user space visible page tables.

At the point where the kernel side entry area is populated there is no
buffer available yet, but the kernel PMD must be populated. To achieve this
set the entries for these buffers to non present.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different

perf/core, x86: Add PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR

For understanding how the workload maps to memory channels and hardware
behavior, it's very important to collect address maps with physical
addresses. For example, 3D XPoint access can only be found by filtering
the physical address.

Add a new sample type for physical address.

perf already has a facility to collect data virtual address. This patch
introduces a function to convert the virtual address to physical address.
The function is quite generic and can be extended to any architecture as
long as a virtual address is provided.

- For kernel direct mapping addresses, virt_to_phys is used to convert
the virtual addresses to physical address.

- For user virtual addresses, __get_user_pages_fast is used to walk the
pages tables for user physical address.

- This does not work for vmalloc addresses right now. These are not
resolved, but code to do that could be added.

The new sample type requires collecting the virtual address. The
virtual address will not be output unless SAMPLE_ADDR is applied.

For security, the physical address can only be exposed to root or
privileged user.

perf/x86: Fix data source decoding for Skylake

Skylake changed the encoding of the PEBS data source field.
Some combinations are not available anymore, but some new cases
e.g. for L4 cache hit are added.

Fix up the conversion table for Skylake, similar as had been done
for Nehalem.

On Skylake server the encoding for L4 actually means persistent
memory. Handle this case too.

To properly describe it in the abstracted perf format I had to add
some new fields. Since a hit can have only one level add a new
field that is an enumeration, not a bit field to describe
the level. It can describe any level. Some numbers are also
used to describe PMEM and LFB.

Also add a new generic remote flag that can be combined with
the generic level to signify a remote cache.

And there is an extension field for the snoop indication to handle
the Forward state.

I didn't add a generic flag for hops because it's not needed
for Skylake.

I changed the existing encodings for older CPUs to also fill in the
new level and remote fields.

perf/x86/intel: Add proper condition to run sched_task callbacks

We have 2 functions using the same sched_task callback:

- PEBS drain for free running counters
- LBR save/store

Both of them are called from intel_pmu_sched_task() and
either of them can be unwillingly triggered when the
other one is configured to run.

Let's say there's PEBS drain configured in sched_task
callback for the event, but in the callback itself
(intel_pmu_sched_task()) we will also run the code for
LBR save/restore, which we did not ask for, but the
code in intel_pmu_sched_task() does not check for that.

This can lead to extra cycles in some perf monitoring,
like when we monitor PEBS event without LBR data.

# perf record --no-timestamp -c 10000 -e cycles:p ./perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000

(We need PEBS, non freq/non timestamp event to enable
the sched_task callback)

The perf stat of cycles and msr:write_msr for above
command before the change:
...
Performance counter stats for './perf record --no-timestamp -c 10000 -e cycles:p \
./perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000' (5 runs):

18,519,557,441 cycles:k
91,195,527 msr:write_msr

29.334476406 seconds time elapsed

And after the change:
...
Performance counter stats for './perf record --no-timestamp -c 10000 -e cycles:p \
./perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000' (5 runs):

18,704,973,540 cycles:k
27,184,720 msr:write_msr

16.977875900 seconds time elapsed

There's no affect on cycles:k because the sched_task happens
with events switched off, however the msr:write_msr tracepoint
counter together with almost 50% of time speedup show the
improvement.

Monitoring LBR event and having extra PEBS drain processing
in sched_task callback showed just a little speedup, because
the drain function does not do much extra work in case there
is no PEBS data.

Adding conditions to recognize the configured work that needs
to be done in the x86_pmu's sched_task callback.

perf/x86/intel: Fix debug_store reset field for freq events

perf/x86/intel: Fix debug_store reset field for freq events

There's a bug in PEBs event enabling code, that prevents PEBS
freq events to work properly after non freq PEBS event was run.

freq events - perf_event_attr::freq set
-F <freq> option of perf record

PEBS events - perf_event_attr::precise_ip > 0
default for perf record

Like in following example with CPU 0 busy, we expect ~10000 samples
for following perf tool run:

# perf record -F 10000 -C 0 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.640 MB perf.data (10031 samples) ]

Everything's fine, but once we run non freq PEBS event like:

# perf record -c 10000 -C 0 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.053 MB perf.data (20061 samples) ]

the freq events start to fail like this:

# perf record -F 10000 -C 0 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.185 MB perf.data (40 samples) ]

The issue is in non freq PEBs event initialization of debug_store reset
field, which value is used to auto-reload the counter value after PEBS
event drain. This value is not being used for PEBS freq events, but once
we run non freq event it stays in debug_store data and screws the
sample_freq counting for PEBS freq events.

Setting the reset field to 0 for freq events.

-e "cpu/umask=0x02,event=0x0/"
-e cycles,branches,cache-misses
-e cache-references -- sleep 10
done

The bug was introduced by commit:

8077eca079a2 ("perf/x86/pebs: Add workaround for broken OVFL status on HSW+")

That commit clears the status bits for the counters used for PEBS
events, by masking the whole 64 bits pebs_enabled. However, only the
low 32 bits of both status and pebs_enabled are reserved for PEBS-able
counters.

For status bits 32-34 are fixed counter overflow bits. For
pebs_enabled bits 32-34 are for PEBS Load Latency.

In the test case, the PEBS Load Latency event and fixed counter event
could overflow at the same time. The fixed counter overflow bit will
be cleared by mistake. Once it is cleared, the fixed counter overflow
never be processed, which finally trigger spurious NMI.

Correct the PEBS enabled mask by ignoring the non-PEBS bits.

This leads to a soft lock up, because the error path of the

for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY
errors you don't have a way to stop the event when it's over
the max_samples_per_tick limit:

perf/x86/intel: Cure bogus unwind from PEBS entries

Vince Weaver reported that perf_fuzzer + KASAN detects that PEBS event
unwinds sometimes do 'weird' things. In particular, we seemed to be
ending up unwinding from random places on the NMI stack.

While it was somewhat expected that the event record BP,SP would not
match the interrupt BP,SP in that the interrupt is strictly later than
the record event, it was overlooked that it could be on an already
overwritten stack.

Therefore, don't copy the recorded BP,SP over the interrupted BP,SP
when we need stack unwinds.

Note that its still possible the unwind doesn't full match the actual
event, as its entirely possible to have done an (I)RET between record
and interrupt, but on average it should still point in the general
direction of where the event came from. Also, it's the best we can do,
considering.

The particular scenario that triggered the bogus NMI stack unwind was
a PEBS event with very short period, upon enabling the event at the
tail of the PMI handler (FREEZE_ON_PMI is not used), it instantly
triggers a record (while still on the NMI stack) which in turn
triggers the next PMI. This then causes back-to-back NMIs and we'll
try and unwind the stack-frame from the last NMI, which obviously is
now overwritten by our own.

Move the code that filters the status bits against our known PEBS

Further add "continue" statements to the WARN_ON_ONCE()s such that
we'll not die nor generate silly events in case we ever do hit them
again.

perf/x86/intel: Rework the large PEBS setup code

In order to allow optimizing perf_pmu_sched_task() we must ensure
perf_sched_cb_{inc,dec}() are no longer called from NMI context; this
means that pmu::{start,stop}() can no longer use them.

Prepare for this by reworking the whole large PEBS setup code.

The current code relied on the cpuc->pebs_enabled state, however since
that reflects the current active state as per pmu::{start,stop}() we
can no longer rely on this.

Introduce two counters: cpuc->n_pebs and cpuc->n_large_pebs which
count the total number of PEBS events and the number of PEBS events
that have FREERUNNING set, resp.. With this we can tell if the current
setup requires a single record interrupt threshold or can use a larger
buffer.

This also improves the code in that it re-enables the large threshold
once the PEBS event that required single record gets removed.
