RISC-V perf driver does not yet support PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT. It would
be more appropriate to return -EOPNOTSUPP or -ENOENT for this type in
pmu_sbi_event_map. Considering that other implementations return -ENOENT
for unsupported perf types, let's synchronize this behavior. Due to this
reason, a riscv bpf testcases perf_skip fail. Meanwhile, align that
behavior to the rest of proper place.

The SBI v2.0 specification pointed to by the link below reserves the
event code 0xffff for platform specific firmware events. Update the driver
to be able to parse and program such events. The platform specific
firmware events must now be specified in the perf command as below:
perf stat -e rCxxx ...
where bits[63:62] = 0x3 of the event config indicate a platform specific
firmware event and xxx indicate the actual event code which is passed
as the event data.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The highlights are support for Arm's "Permission Overlay Extension"
  using memory protection keys, support for running as a protected guest
  on Android as well as perf support for a bunch of new interconnect
  PMUs.

  Summary:

  ACPI:
   - Enable PMCG erratum workaround for HiSilicon HIP10 and 11
     platforms.
   - Ensure arm64-specific IORT header is covered by MAINTAINERS.

  CPU Errata:
   - Enable workaround for hardware access/dirty issue on Ampere-1A
     cores.

  Memory management:
   - Define PHYSMEM_END to fix a crash in the amdgpu driver.
   - Avoid tripping over invalid kernel mappings on the kexec() path.
   - Userspace support for the Permission Overlay Extension (POE) using
     protection keys.

  Perf and PMUs:
   - Add support for the "fixed instruction counter" extension in the
     CPU PMU architecture.
   - Extend and fix the event encodings for Apple's M1 CPU PMU.
   - Allow LSM hooks to decide on SPE permissions for physical
     profiling.
   - Add support for the CMN S3 and NI-700 PMUs.

  Confidential Computing:
   - Add support for booting an arm64 kernel as a protected guest under
     Android's "Protected KVM" (pKVM) hypervisor.

  Selftests:
   - Fix vector length issues in the SVE/SME sigreturn tests
   - Fix build warning in the ptrace tests.

  Timers:
   - Add support for PR_{G,S}ET_TSC so that 'rr' can deal with
     non-determinism arising from the architected counter.

  Miscellaneous:
   - Rework our IPI-based CPU stopping code to try NMIs if regular IPIs
     don't succeed.
   - Minor fixes and cleanups"

<title>perf: arm_pmuv3: Use BR_RETIRED for HW branch event if enabled</title>
<updated>2024-09-09T14:28:02+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Ilkka Koskinen</name>
<email>ilkka@os.amperecomputing.com</email>
</author>
<published>2024-09-06T19:15:39+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=5967a19f1c2ffb530f5d4589ddc4b4afbb6c7bd4'/>
<id>5967a19f1c2ffb530f5d4589ddc4b4afbb6c7bd4</id>
<content type='text'>
The PMU driver attempts to use PC_WRITE_RETIRED for the HW branch event,
if enabled. However, PC_WRITE_RETIRED counts only taken branches,
whereas BR_RETIRED counts also non-taken ones.

Furthermore, perf uses HW branch event to calculate branch misses ratio,
implying BR_RETIRED is the correct event to count.

We keep PC_WRITE_RETIRED still as an option in case BR_RETIRED isn't
implemented.

The PMU driver attempts to use PC_WRITE_RETIRED for the HW branch event,
if enabled. However, PC_WRITE_RETIRED counts only taken branches,
whereas BR_RETIRED counts also non-taken ones.

Furthermore, perf uses HW branch event to calculate branch misses ratio,
implying BR_RETIRED is the correct event to count.

We keep PC_WRITE_RETIRED still as an option in case BR_RETIRED isn't
implemented.

<title>perf: Add driver for Arm NI-700 interconnect PMU</title>

The Arm NI-700 Network-on-Chip Interconnect has a relatively
straightforward design with a hierarchy of voltage, power, and clock
domains, where each clock domain then contains a number of interface
units and a PMU which can monitor events thereon. As such, it begets a
relatively straightforward driver to interface those PMUs with perf.

Even more so than with arm-cmn, users will require detailed knowledge of
the wider system topology in order to meaningfully analyse anything,
since the interconnect itself cannot know what lies beyond the boundary
of each inscrutably-numbered interface. Given that, for now they are
also expected to refer to the NI-700 documentation for the relevant
event IDs to provide as well. An identifier is implemented so we can
come back and add jevents if anyone really wants to.

Take full advantage of our formats being stored in bitfield form, and
make the printing even more robust and simple by letting printk do all
the hard work of formatting bitlists.
