The "read_bhrb" global symbol is only called under CONFIG_PPC64 of
arch/powerpc/perf/core-book3s.c but it is compiled for both 32 and 64 bit
anyway (and LLVM fails to link this on 32bit).

This fixes it by moving bhrb.o to obj64 targets.

<title>powerpc/perf: Fix power10 event alternatives</title>

<content type='text'>
When scheduling a group of events, there are constraint checks done to
make sure all events can go in a group. Example, one of the criteria is
that events in a group cannot use the same PMC. But platform specific
PMU supports alternative event for some of the event codes. During
perf_event_open(), if any event group doesn't match constraint check
criteria, further lookup is done to find alternative event.

By current design, the array of alternatives events in PMU code is
expected to be sorted by column 0. This is because in
find_alternative() the return criteria is based on event code
comparison. ie. "event &lt; ev_alt[i][0])". This optimisation is there
since find_alternative() can be called multiple times. In power10 PMU
code, the alternative event array is not sorted properly and hence there
is breakage in finding alternative event.

To work with existing logic, fix the alternative event array to be
sorted by column 0 for power10-pmu.c

Results:

In case where an alternative event is not chosen when we could, events
will be multiplexed. ie, time sliced where it could actually run
concurrently.

Example, in power10 PM_INST_CMPL_ALT(0x00002) has alternative event,
PM_INST_CMPL(0x500fa). Without the fix, if a group of events with PMC1
to PMC4 is used along with PM_INST_CMPL_ALT, it will be time sliced
since all programmable PMC's are consumed already. But with the fix,
when it picks alternative event on PMC5, all events will run
concurrently.

Before:

 # perf stat -e r00002,r100fc,r200fa,r300fc,r400fc

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

         328668935      r00002               (79.94%)

With the fix, since alternative event is chosen to run on PMC6, events
will be run concurrently.

Results:

With alternative events, multiplexing can be avoided. That is, for
example, in power9 PM_LD_MISS_L1 (0x3e054) has alternative event,
PM_LD_MISS_L1_ALT (0x400f0). This is an identical event which can be
programmed in a different PMC.

Before:

 # perf stat -e r3e054,r300fc

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

           1057860      r3e054              (50.21%)

       0.944329741 seconds time elapsed

Since both the events are using PMC3 in this case, they are
multiplexed here.

<title>powerpc/64s/hash: Make hash faults work in NMI context</title>
<updated>2022-02-24T01:46:54+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Nicholas Piggin</name>
<email>npiggin@gmail.com</email>

<published>2022-02-04T03:53:48+00:00</published>

<id>8b91cee5eadd2021f55e6775f2d50bd56d00c217</id>
<content type='text'>
Hash faults are not resoved in NMI context, instead causing the access
to fail. This is done because perf interrupts can get backtraces
including walking the user stack, and taking a hash fault on those could
deadlock on the HPTE lock if the perf interrupt hits while the same HPTE
lock is being held by the hash fault code. The user-access for the stack
walking will notice the access failed and deal with that in the perf
code.

The reason to allow perf interrupts in is to better profile hash faults.

The problem with this is any hash fault on a kernel access that happens
in NMI context will crash, because kernel accesses must not fail.

Hard lockups, system reset, machine checks that access vmalloc space
including modules and including stack backtracing and symbol lookup in
modules, per-cpu data, etc could all run into this problem.

Fix this by disallowing perf interrupts in the hash fault code (the
direct hash fault is covered by MSR[EE]=0 so the PMI disable just needs
to extend to the preload case). This simplifies the tricky logic in hash
faults and perf, at the cost of reduced profiling of hash faults.

perf can still latch addresses when interrupts are disabled, it just
won't get the stack trace at that point, so it would still find hot
spots, just sometimes with confusing stack chains.

An alternative could be to allow perf interrupts here but always do the
slowpath stack walk if we are in nmi context, but that slows down all
perf interrupt stack walking on hash though and it does not remove as
much tricky code.

Trace IMC (In-Memory collection counters) in powerpc is useful for
application level profiling.

For trace_imc, presently task context (task_ctx_nr) is set to
perf_hw_context. But perf_hw_context should only be used for CPU PMU.
See commit 26657848502b ("perf/core: Verify we have a single
perf_hw_context PMU").

So for trace_imc, even though it is per thread PMU, it is preferred to
use sw_context in order to be able to do application level monitoring.
Hence change the task_ctx_nr to use perf_sw_context.

The warning indicates that MSR_EE being set(interrupt enabled) when
there was an overflown PMC detected. This could happen in
power_pmu_disable since it runs under interrupt soft disable
condition ( local_irq_save ) and not with interrupts hard disabled.
commit 2c9ac51b850d ("powerpc/perf: Fix PMU callbacks to clear
pending PMI before resetting an overflown PMC") intended to clear
PMI pending bit in Paca when disabling the PMU. It could happen
that PMC gets overflown while code is in power_pmu_disable
callback function. Hence add a check to see if PMI pending bit
is set in Paca before clearing it via clear_pmi_pending.
