<content type='text'>
commit 60792ad349f3c6dc5735aafefe5dc9121c79e320 upstream.

The pmuserenr_el0 register value is architecturally UNKNOWN on reset.
Current kernel code resets that register value iff the core pmu device is
correctly probed in the kernel. On platforms with missing DT pmu nodes (or
disabled perf events in the kernel), the pmu is not probed, therefore the
pmuserenr_el0 register is not reset in the kernel, which means that its
value retains the reset value that is architecturally UNKNOWN (system
may run with eg pmuserenr_el0 == 0x1, which means that PMU counters access
is available at EL0, which must be disallowed).

This patch adds code that resets pmuserenr_el0 on cold boot and restores
it on core resume from shutdown, so that the pmuserenr_el0 setup is
always enforced in the kernel.

The Cortex-A57 PMU supports a few events outside of the required PMUv3
set that are rather useful.

This patch adds the event map data for said events.

Now that the arm_pmu framework has been factored out to drivers/perf we
can make use of it for arm64, gaining support for heterogeneous PMUs
and unifying the two codebases before they diverge further.

The as yet unused PMU name for PMUv3 is changed to armv8_pmuv3, matching
the style previously applied to the 32-bit PMUs.

Most of the cache events an architecture might support do not map well
to those provided by the ARM architecture, and as such most entries in
the event number maps are *_UNSUPPORTED. Unfortuantely as 0 is a valid
physical event identifier, the *_UNSUPPORTED macros expand to a non-zero
value and thus each unsupported event must be explicitly initialised as
such. This leads to large diffs when adding support for a new CPU, and
makes it difficult to spot the important information.

This patch follows arch/arm/ in making use of PERF_*_ALL_UNSUPPORTED
macros to initialise all entries to *_UNSUPPORTED before overriding this
for the specific events we actually support, resulting in a significant
source code reduction.

We currently bundle the callchain handling code with the PMU code,
despite the fact the two are distinct, and the former can be useful even
in the absence of the latter.

Follow the example of arch/arm and factor the callchain handling into
its own file dependent on CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS rather than
CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS.

<title>arm64: perf: replace arch_find_n_match_cpu_physical_id with of_cpu_device_node_get</title>

arch_find_n_match_cpu_physical_id parses the device tree to get the
device node for a given logical cpu index. However, since ARM PMUs get
probed after the CPU device nodes are stashed while registering the
cpus, we can use of_cpu_device_node_get to avoid another DT parse.

This patch replaces arch_find_n_match_cpu_physical_id with
of_cpu_device_node_get to reuse the stashed value directly instead.

ARM64 pmu prints an error message in event_init() when
no hardware PMU is available. This is pretty annoying as
it keeps printing the message for every single trial, flooding
the kernel logs, unnecessarily. The return code is sufficient for
the user to figure out the reason.

Commit d795ef9aa831 ("arm64: perf: don't warn about missing
interrupt-affinity property for PPIs") added a check for PPIs so that
we avoid parsing the interrupt-affinity property for these naturally
affine interrupts.

Unfortunately, this check can trigger an early (successful) return and
we will not assign the value of cpu_pmu-&gt;plat_device. This patch fixes
the issue.
