"x86 PMU driver updates:
- Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs
(Dapeng Mi)
Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's been
a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:
- Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to replace the
Off-Core Response (OCR) facility
- New PEBS data source encoding layout
- Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature
- Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for Intel Diamond
Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Zide Chen)
This centers around these four main areas:
- DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and each IMH
die has its own discovery domain.
- Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.
- DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA, UBR,
PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.
- IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.
- Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang and
Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)
- Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL) CPUs,
which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake (Zide Chen)
- Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
(aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
Airmont code (Martin Schiller)
Performance enhancements:
- Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary cross CPU calls
(Jan H. Schönherr)
- Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks (Namhyung Kim)
User-space stack unwinding support:
- Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize the
unwinding code for other architectures (Jens Remus)
Uprobes updates:
- Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming)
- Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao)
- Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov)
Misc fixes and cleanups:
- s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap)
- x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni)
- x86/uncore: Clean up const mismatch (Greg Kroah-Hartman)
- x86/ibs: Fix typo in dc_l2tlb_miss comment (Xiang-Bin Shi)"

With the introduction of the OMR feature, the PEBS memory auxiliary info
field for load and store latency events has been restructured for DMR.
The memory auxiliary info field's bit[8] indicates whether a L2 cache
miss occurred for a memory load or store instruction. If bit[8] is 0,
it signifies no L2 cache miss, and bits[7:0] specify the exact cache data
source (up to the L2 cache level). If bit[8] is 1, bits[7:0] represent
the OMR encoding, indicating the specific L3 cache or memory region
involved in the memory access. A significant enhancement is OMR encoding
provides up to 8 fine-grained memory regions besides the cache region.
A significant enhancement for OMR encoding is the ability to provide
up to 8 fine-grained memory regions in addition to the cache region,
offering more detailed insights into memory access regions.
For detailed information on the memory auxiliary info encoding, please
refer to section 16.2 "PEBS LOAD LATENCY AND STORE LATENCY FACILITY" in
the ISE documentation.
This patch ensures that the PEBS memory auxiliary info field is correctly
interpreted and utilized in DMR.

When applying a recent commit to the <uapi/linux/perf_event.h>
header I noticed that we have accumulated quite a bit of
historic noise in this header, so do a bit of spring cleaning:
- Define bitfields in a vertically aligned fashion, like
perf_event_mmap_page::capabilities already does. This
makes it easier to see the distribution and sizing of
bits within a word, at a glance. The following is much
more readable:
__u64 cap_bit0 : 1,
cap_bit0_is_deprecated : 1,
cap_user_rdpmc : 1,
cap_user_time : 1,
cap_user_time_zero : 1,
cap_user_time_short : 1,
cap_____res : 58;
Than:
__u64 cap_bit0:1,
cap_bit0_is_deprecated:1,
cap_user_rdpmc:1,
cap_user_time:1,
cap_user_time_zero:1,
cap_user_time_short:1,
cap_____res:58;
So convert all bitfield definitions from the latter style to the
former style.
- Fix typos and grammar
- Fix capitalization
- Remove whitespace noise
- Harmonize the definitions of various generations and groups of
PERF_MEM_ ABI values.
- Vertically align all definitions and assignments to the same
column (48), as the first definition (enum perf_type_id),
throughout the entire header.
- And in general make the code and comments to be more in sync
with each other and to be more readable overall.
No change in functionality.

ABI extender place holder i.e PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, the new 4 bit branch type

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].
This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch)
@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@
struct S {
...
T1 member;
T2 array[
- 0
];
};
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes
to prevent issues like these in the short future:
../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0,
but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source]
strcpy(de3->name, ".");
^
Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If
this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.

This expands generic branch type classification by adding two more entries
there in i.e irq and exception return. Also updates the x86 implementation
to process X86_BR_IRET and X86_BR_IRQ records as appropriate. This changes
branch types reported to user space on x86 platform but it should not be a
problem. The possible scenarios and impacts are enumerated here.

tools/perf: Add mem_hops field in perf_mem_data_src structure
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Going forward, future generation systems can have more hierarchy
within the node/package level but currently we don't have any data source
encoding field in perf, which can be used to represent this level of data.
Add a new field called 'mem_hops' in the perf_mem_data_src structure
which can be used to represent intra-node/package or inter-node/off-package
details. This field is of size 3 bits where PERF_MEM_HOPS_{NA, 0..6} value
can be used to present different hop levels data.
Also add corresponding macros to define mem_hop field values
and shift value.
Currently we define macro for HOPS_0 which corresponds
to data coming from another core but same node.
Add functionality to represent mem_hop field data in
perf_mem__lvl_scnprintf function with the help of added string
array called mem_hops.
For ex: Encodings for mem_hops fields with L2 cache:
L2 - local L2
L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_0 - remote core, same node L2
Since with the addition of HOPS field, now remote can be used to
denote cache access from the same node but different core, a check
is added in the c2c_decode_stats function to set mrem only when HOPS
is zero along with set remote field.

Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into
line with the kernel version.
New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area

Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e.
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX.

sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating
