selftests: vDSO: unconditionally build chacha test

2024-10-08T21:21:29+00:00

Rather than using symlinks to find the vgetrandom-chacha.S file for each
arch, store this in a file that uses the compiler to determine
architecture, and then make use of weak symbols to skip the test on
architectures that don't provide the code.

powerpc/vdso: Wire up getrandom() vDSO implementation on VDSO32

2024-09-13T15:28:36+00:00

To be consistent with other VDSO functions, the function is called
__kernel_getrandom()

__arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack() fonction is implemented basically
with 32 bits operations. It performs 4 QUARTERROUND operations in
parallele. There are enough registers to avoid using the stack:

On input:
	r3: output bytes
	r4: 32-byte key input
	r5: 8-byte counter input/output
	r6: number of 64-byte blocks to write to output

During operation:
	stack: pointer to counter (r5) and non-volatile registers (r14-131)
	r0: counter of blocks (initialised with r6)
	r4: Value '4' after key has been read, used for indexing
	r5-r12: key
	r14-r15: block counter
	r16-r31: chacha state

At the end:
	r0, r6-r12: Zeroised
	r5, r14-r31: Restored

Performance on powerpc 885 (using kernel selftest):
	~# ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
	   vdso: 25000000 times in 62.938002291 seconds
	   libc: 25000000 times in 535.581916866 seconds
	syscall: 25000000 times in 531.525042806 seconds

Performance on powerpc 8321 (using kernel selftest):
	~# ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
	   vdso: 25000000 times in 16.899318858 seconds
	   libc: 25000000 times in 131.050596522 seconds
	syscall: 25000000 times in 129.794790389 seconds

This first patch adds support for VDSO32. As selftests cannot easily
be generated only for VDSO32, and because the following patch brings
support for VDSO64 anyway, this patch opts out all code in
__arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack() so that vdso_test_chacha will not
fail to compile and will not crash on PPC64/PPC64LE, allthough the
selftest itself will fail.

perf powerpc: Add support to expose instruction and data address registers as part of extended regs

2021-10-25T16:47:42+00:00

This patch enables presenting Sampled Instruction Address Register
(SIAR) and Sampled Data Address Register (SDAR) SPRs as part of extended
registers for the perf tool.

Add these SPR's to sample_reg_mask in the tool side (to use with -I?
option).

perf powerpc: Refactor the code definition of perf reg extended mask in tools side header file

2021-10-25T16:47:42+00:00

PERF_REG_PMU_MASK_300 and PERF_REG_PMU_MASK_31 defines the mask value
for extended registers. Current definition of these mask values uses hex
constant and does not use registers by name, making it less readable.
Patch refactor the macro values in perf tools side header file by or'ing
together the actual register value constants.

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v5.12-2020-02-19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux

2021-02-22T21:59:43+00:00

Pull perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"New features:

- Support instruction latency in 'perf report', with both memory
latency (weight) and instruction latency information, users can
locate expensive load instructions and understand time spent in
different stages.

- Extend 'perf c2c' to display the number of loads which were blocked
by data or address conflict.

- Add 'perf stat' support for L2 topdown events in systems such as
Intel's Sapphire rapids server.

- Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE in various tools, as a
sort key, for instance:

perf report --stdio --sort=comm,symbol,code_page_size

- New 'perf daemon' command to run long running sessions while
providing a way to control the enablement of events without
restarting a traditional 'perf record' session.

- Enable counting events for BPF programs in 'perf stat' just like
for other targets (tid, cgroup, cpu, etc), e.g.:

# perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles -b 254 -I 1000
1.487903822 115,200 ref-cycles
1.487903822 86,012 cycles
2.489147029 80,560 ref-cycles
2.489147029 73,784 cycles
^C

The example above counts 'cycles' and 'ref-cycles' of BPF program
of id 254. It is similar to bpftool-prog-profile command, but more
flexible.

- Support the new layout for PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 to carry the DSO
build-id using infrastructure generalised from the eBPF subsystem,
removing the need for traversing the perf.data file to collect
build-ids at the end of 'perf record' sessions and helping with
long running sessions where binaries can get replaced in updates,
leading to possible mis-resolution of symbols.

- Support filtering by hex address in 'perf script'.

- Support DSO filter in 'perf script', like in other perf tools.

- Add namespaces support to 'perf inject'

- Add support for SDT (Dtrace Style Markers) events on ARM64.

perf record:

- Fix handling of eventfd() when draining a buffer in 'perf record'.

- Improvements to the generation of metadata events for pre-existing
threads (mmaps, comm, etc), speeding up the work done at the start
of system wide or per CPU 'perf record' sessions.

Hardware tracing:

- Initial support for tracing KVM with Intel PT.

- Intel PT fixes for IPC

- Support Intel PT PSB (synchronization packets) events.

- Automatically group aux-output events to overcome --filter syntax.

- Enable PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC on ARMs SPE.

- Update ARM's CoreSight hardware tracing OpenCSD library to v1.0.0.

perf annotate TUI:

- Fix handling of 'k' ("show line number") hotkey

- Fix jump parsing for C++ code.

perf probe:

- Add protection to avoid endless loop.

cgroups:

- Avoid reading cgroup mountpoint multiple times, caching it.

- Fix handling of cgroup v1/v2 in mixed hierarchy.

Symbol resolving:

- Add OCaml symbol demangling.

- Further fixes for handling PE executables when using perf with Wine
and .exe/.dll files.

- Fix 'perf unwind' DSO handling.

- Resolve symbols against debug file first, to deal with artifacts
related to LTO.

- Fix gap between kernel end and module start on powerpc.

Reporting tools:

- The DSO filter shouldn't show samples in unresolved maps.

- Improve debuginfod support in various tools.

build ids:

- Fix 16-byte build ids in 'perf buildid-cache', add a 'perf test'
entry for that case.

perf test:

- Support for PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.

- Add test case for PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE.

- Shell based tests for 'perf daemon's commands ('start', 'stop,
'reconfig', 'list', etc).

- ARM cs-etm 'perf test' fixes.

- Add parse-metric memory bandwidth testcase.

Compiler related:

- Fix 'perf probe' kretprobe issue caused by gcc 11 bug when used
with -fpatchable-function-entry.

- Fix ARM64 build with gcc 11's -Wformat-overflow.

- Fix unaligned access in sample parsing test.

- Fix printf conversion specifier for IP addresses on arm64, s390 and
powerpc.

Arch specific:

- Support exposing Performance Monitor Counter SPRs as part of
extended regs on powerpc.

- Add JSON 'perf stat' metrics for ARM64's imx8mp, imx8mq and imx8mn
DDR, fix imx8mm ones.

- Fix common and uarch events for ARM64's A76 and Ampere eMag"

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add infrastructure to support 2nd DAWR

2021-02-10T03:31:08+00:00

KVM code assumes single DAWR everywhere. Add code to support 2nd DAWR.
DAWR is a hypervisor resource and thus H_SET_MODE hcall is used to set/
unset it. Introduce new case H_SET_MODE_RESOURCE_SET_DAWR1 for 2nd DAWR.
Also, KVM will support 2nd DAWR only if CPU_FTR_DAWR1 is set.
