commit 4bbaf2584b86b0772413edeac22ff448f36351b1 upstream.
Correct a trinity finding for the perf_event_open() system call with
a perf event attribute structure that uses a frequency but has the
sampling frequency set to zero. This causes a FP divide exception during
the sample rate initialization for the hardware sampling facility.Fixes: 8c069ff4bd606 ("s390/perf: add support for the CPU-Measurement Sampling Facility")

Rename a couple of the struct psw_bits members so it is more obvious
for what they are good. Initially I thought using the single character
names from the PoP would be sufficient and obvious, but admittedly
that is not true.The current implementation is not easy to use, if one has to look into
the source file to figure out which member represents the 'per' bit
(which is the 'r' member).Therefore rename the members to sane names that are identical to the
uapi psw mask defines:r -> per
i -> io
e -> ext
t -> dat
m -> mcheck
w -> wait
p -> pstateSigned-off-by: Heiko Carstens

Bit searching functions accept "unsigned long" indices but
"nr_cpumask_bits" is "int" which is signed, so inevitable sign
extensions occur on x86_64. Those MOVSX are #1 MOVSX bloat by number of
uses across whole kernel.Change "nr_cpumask_bits" to unsigned, this number can't be negative
after all. It allows to do implicit zero-extension on x86_64 without
MOVSX.Change signed comparisons into unsigned comparisons where necessary.
Other uses looks fine because it is either argument passed to a function
or comparison is already unsigned.Net win on allyesconfig type of kernel: ~2.8 KB (!)

There are three different code levels in regard to the identification
of guest samples. They differ in the way the LPP instruction is used.1) Old kernels without the LPP instruction. The guest program parameter
is always zero.
2) Newer kernels load the process pid into the program parameter with LPP.
The guest program parameter is non-zero if the guest executes in a
process != idle.
3) The latest kernels load ((1UL << 31) | pid) with LPP to make the value
non-zero even for the idle task. The guest program parameter is non-zero
if the guest is running.All kernels load the process pid to CR4 on context switch. The CPU sampling
code uses the value in CR4 to decide between guest and host samples in case
the guest program parameter is zero. The three cases:1) CR4==pid, gpp==0
2) CR4==pid, gpp==pid
3) CR4==pid, gpp==((1UL << 31) | pid)The load-control instruction to load the pid into CR4 is expensive and the
goal is to remove it. To distinguish the host CR4 from the guest pid for
the idle process the maximum value 0xffff for the PASN is used.
This adds a fourth case for a guest OS with an updated kernel:4) CR4==0xffff, gpp=((1UL << 31) | pid)
The host kernel will have CR4==0xffff and will use (gpp!=0 || CR4!==0xffff)
to identify guest samples. This works nicely with all 4 cases, the only
possible issue would be a guest with an old kernel (gpp==0) and a process
pid of 0xffff. Well, don't do that..Suggested-by: Christian Borntraeger

This patch adds support for non-linear data on raw records. It
extends raw records to have one or multiple fragments that will
be written linearly into the ring slot, where each fragment can
optionally have a custom callback handler to walk and extract
complex, possibly non-linear data.If a callback handler is provided for a fragment, then the new
__output_custom() will be used instead of __output_copy() for
the perf_output_sample() part. perf_prepare_sample() does all
the size calculation only once, so perf_output_sample() doesn't
need to redo the same work anymore, meaning real_size and padding
will be cached in the raw record. The raw record becomes 32 bytes
in size without holes; to not increase it further and to avoid
doing unnecessary recalculations in fast-path, we can reuse
next pointer of the last fragment, idea here is borrowed from
ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(), which should keep the perf_output_sample()
path for PERF_SAMPLE_RAW minimal.This facility is needed for BPF's event output helper as a first
user that will, in a follow-up, add an additional perf_raw_frag
to its perf_raw_record in order to be able to more efficiently
dump skb context after a linear head meta data related to it.
skbs can be non-linear and thus need a custom output function to
dump buffers. Currently, the skb data needs to be copied twice;
with the help of __output_custom() this work only needs to be
done once. Future users could be things like XDP/BPF programs
that work on different context though and would thus also have
a different callback function.The few users of raw records are adapted to initialize their frag
data from the raw record itself, no change in behavior for them.
The code is based upon a PoC diff provided by Peter Zijlstra [1].[1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/421294

commit e22cf8ca6f75 ("s390/cpumf: rework program parameter setting
to detect guest samples") requires guest changes to get proper
guest/host. We can do better: We can use the primary asn value,
which is set on all Linux variants to compare this with the host
pp value.
We now have the following cases:
1. Guest using PP
host sample: gpp == 0, asn == hpp --> host
guest sample: gpp != 0 --> guest
2. Guest not using PP
host sample: gpp == 0, asn == hpp --> host
guest sample: gpp == 0, asn != hpp --> guestAs soon as the host no longer sets CR4, we must back out
this heuristics - let's add a comment in switch_to.Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

The program parameter can be used to mark hardware samples with
some token. Previously, it was used to mark guest samples only.Improve the program parameter doubleword by combining two parts,
the leftmost LPP part and the rightmost PID part. Set the PID
part for processes by using the task PID.
To distinguish host and guest samples for the kernel (PID part
is zero), the guest must always set the program paramater to a
non-zero value. Use the leftmost bit in the LPP part of the
program parameter to be able to detect guest kernel samples.[brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com]: Split __LC_CURRENT and introduced

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;Converts to
this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

Add the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag to process only sample-data-blocks that
have the block-full-indicator bit set. Sample-data-blocks that are partially
filled are discarded. Use this flag if the sampling buffer is likely to be
shared among perf events that use different sampling modes. In such
environments, flushing sample-data-blocks that are not completely filled, might
cause invalid-data-formats.Setting PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS prevents potentially invalid sampling data to
be processed but, in contrast, also discards valid samples in partially filled
sample-data-blocks. Note that sample-data-blocks might not become full for
small sampling frequencies or for workload that is scheduled for tiny intervals.To sample with the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag, set the perf->attr.config1
to 0x0004. For example:perf record -e cpum_sf/config=0xB000,config1=0x0004/

Also support the diagnostic-sampling function in addition to the basic-sampling
function. Diagnostic-sampling data entries contain hardware model specific
sampling data and additional programs are required to analyze the data.To deliver diagnostic-sampling, as well, as basis-sampling data entries to user
space, introduce support for sampling "raw data". If this particular perf
sampling type (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW) is used, sampling data entries are copied
to user space. External programs can then analyze these data.Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner

Introduce the perf_exclude_event() function to filter perf samples
according to event->attr.exclude_* settings. During event initialization,
reset event exclude settings that are not supported.Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner

The host-program-parameter (hpp) value of basic sample-data-entries designates
a SIE control block that is set by the LPP instruction in sie64a().
Non-zero values indicate guest samples, a value of zero indicates a host sample.For perf samples, host and guest samples are distinguished using particular
PERF_MISC_* flags. The perf layer calls perf_misc_flags() to set the flags
based on the pt_regs content. For each sample-data-entry, the cpum_sf PMU
creates a pt_regs structure with the sample-data information. An additional
flag structure is added to easily distinguish between host and guest samples.Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner

The trailer entry contains a timestamp of the time when the sample-data-block
became full. The timestamp specifies a TOD (time-of-day) value in either the
STCK or STCKE format.Provide a helper function to return the TOD value depending on the setting of
time format indicator.Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner

Ensure to reset the sample-data-block full indicator and the overflow counter
at the same time. This must be done atomically because the sampling hardware
is still active while full sample-data-block is processed.Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner

Improve the sampling buffer allocation and add a function to reallocate and
increase the sampling buffer structure. The number of allocated buffer elements
(sample-data-blocks) are accounted. You can control the minimum and maximum
number these sample-data-blocks through the cpum_sfb_size kernel parameter.The number hardware sample overflows (if any) are also accounted and stored
per perf event. During the PMU disable/enable calls, the accumulated overflow
counter is analyzed and, if necessary, the sampling buffer is dynamically
increased.Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner

The cpum_cf (counter facility) PMU does not support sampling events.
With cpum_sf (sampling facility), a PMU for sampling CPU cycles is
available.Make cpum_sf the "default" PMU for PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES sampling
events but use the more precise cpum_cf PMU for non-sampling events.Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner

Introduce a perf PMU, "cpum_sf", to support the CPU-Measurement
Sampling Facility. You can control the sampling facility through
this perf PMU interfaces. Perf sampling events are created for
hardware samples.For details about the CPU-Measurement Sampling Facility, see
"The Load-Program-Parameter and the CPU-Measurement Facilities" (SA23-2260).Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner
