Extension (BRBE), which records information about bra

perf: arm_pmuv3: Add support for the Branch Record Buffer Extension (BRBE)

The ARMv9.2 architecture introduces the optional Branch Record Buffer
Extension (BRBE), which records information about branches as they are
executed into set of branch record registers. BRBE is similar to x86's
Last Branch Record (LBR) and PowerPC's Branch History Rolling Buffer
(BHRB).

BRBE supports filtering by exception level and can filter just the
source or target address if excluded to avoid leaking privileged
addresses. The h/w filter would be sufficient except when there are
multiple events with disjoint filtering requirements. In this case, BRBE
is configured with a union of all the events' desired branches, and then
the recorded branches are filtered based on each event's filter. For
example, with one event capturing kernel events and another event
capturing user events, BRBE will be configured to capture both kernel
and user branches. When handling event overflow, the branch records have
to be filtered by software to only include kernel or user branch
addresses for that event. In contrast, x86 simply configures LBR using
the last installed event which seems broken.

It is possible on x86 to configure branch filter such that no branches
are ever recorded (e.g. -j save_type). For BRBE, events with a
configuration that will result in no samples are rejected.

Recording branches in KVM guests is not supported like x86. However,
perf on x86 allows requesting branch recording in guests. The guest
events are recorded, but the resulting branches are all from the host.
For BRBE, events with branch recording and "exclude_host" set are
rejected. Requiring "exclude_guest" to be set did not work. The default
for the perf tool does set "exclude_guest" if no exception level
options are specified. However, specifying kernel or user events
defaults to including both host and guest. In this case, only host
branches are recorded.

BRBE can support some additional exception branch types compared to
x86. On x86, all exceptions other than syscalls are recorded as IRQ.
With BRBE, it is possible to better categorize these exceptions. One
limitation relative to x86 is we cannot distinguish a syscall return
from other exception returns. So all exception returns are recorded as
ERET type. The FIQ branch type is omitted as the only FIQ user is Apple
platforms which don't support BRBE. The debug branch types are omitted
as there is no clear need for them.

BRBE records are invalidated whenever events are reconfigured, a new
task is scheduled in, or after recording is paused (and the records
have been recorded for the event). The architecture allows branch
records to be invalidated by the PE under implementation defined
conditions. It is expected that these conditions are rare.

includes separate counters for posted/non-posted/completion TLPs.
Also, inbound and outbound memory read requests along with their
latencies can also be monitored. Address Translation Services(ATS)events
such as ATS Translation, ATS Page Request, ATS Invalidation along with
their corresponding latencies are also supported.

The performance counters are 64 bits wide.

perf: Add driver for Arm NI-700 interconnect PMU

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.

drivers/perf: add DesignWare PCIe PMU driver

This commit adds the PCIe Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) driver support
for T-Head Yitian SoC chip. Yitian is based on the Synopsys PCI Express
Core controller IP which provides statistics feature. The PMU is a PCIe
configuration space register block provided by each PCIe Root Port in a
Vendor-Specific Extended Capability named RAS D.E.S (Debug, Error
injection, and Statistics).

To facilitate collection of statistics the controller provides the
following two features for each Root Port:

- one 64-bit counter for Time Based Analysis (RX/TX data throughput and
time spent in each low-power LTSSM state) and
- one 32-bit counter for Event Counting (error and non-error events for
a specified lane)

Note: There is no interrupt for counter overflow.

This driver adds PMU devices for each PCIe Root Port. And the PMU device is
named based the BDF of Root Port. For example,

30:03.0 PCI bridge: Device 1ded:8000 (rev 01)

the PMU device name for this Root Port is dwc_rootport_3018.

Example usage of counting PCIe RX TLP data payload (Units of bytes)::

$# perf stat -a -e dwc_rootport_3018/Rx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload/

average RX bandwidth can be calculated like this:

PCIe TX Bandwidth = Rx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload / Measure_Time_Window

Merge tag 'cxl-for-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cxl/cxl

Pull CXL updates from Dan Williams:
"The highlights in terms of new functionality are support for the
standard CXL Performance Monitor definition that appeared in CXL 3.0,
support for device sanitization (wiping all data from a device),
secure-erase (re-keying encryption of user data), and support for
firmware update. The firmware update support is notable as it reuses
the simple sysfs_upload interface to just cat(1) a blob to a sysfs
file and pipe that to the device.

Additionally there are a substantial number of cleanups and
reorganizations to get ready for RCH error handling (RCH == Restricted
CXL Host == current shipping hardware generation / pre CXL-2.0
topologies) and type-2 (accelerator / vendor specific) devices.

For vendor specific devices they implement a subset of what the
generic type-3 (generic memory expander) driver expects. As a result
the rework decouples optional infrastructure from the core driver
context.

For RCH topologies, where the specification working group did not want
to confuse pre-CXL-aware operating systems, many of the standard
registers are hidden which makes support standard bus features like
AER (PCIe Advanced Error Reporting) difficult. The rework arranges for
the driver to help the PCI-AER core. Bjorn is on board with this
direction but a late regression disocvery means the completion of this
functionality needs to cook a bit longer, so it is code
reorganizations only for now.

Summary:

- Add infrastructure for supporting background commands along with
support for device sanitization and firmware update

- Introduce a CXL performance monitoring unit driver based on the
common definition in the specification.

- Land some preparatory cleanup and refactoring for the anticipated
arrival of CXL type-2 (accelerator devices) and CXL RCH (CXL-v1.1
topology) error handling.

- Rework CPU cache management with respect to region configuration
(device hotplug or other dynamic changes to memory interleaving)

- Fix region reconfiguration vs CXL decoder ordering rules"

drivers/perf: imx_ddr: Add support for NXP i.MX9 SoC DDRC PMU driver

Add ddr performance monitor support for i.MX93.

There are 11 counters for ddr performance events.
- Counter 0 is a 64-bit counter that counts only clock cycles.
- Counter 1-10 are 32-bit counters that can monitor counter-specific
events in addition to counting reference events.

For example:
perf stat -a -e imx9_ddr0/ddrc_pm_1,counter=1/,imx9_ddr0/ddrc_pm_2,counter=2/ ls

Besides, this ddr pmu support AXI filter capability. It's implemented as
counter-specific events. It now supports read transaction, write transaction
and read beat events which corresponding respecitively to counter 2, 3 and 4.
axi_mask and axi_id need to be as event parameters.

For example:
perf stat -a -I 1000 -e imx9_ddr0/eddrtq_pm_rd_trans_filt,counter=2,axi_mask=ID_MASK,axi_id=ID/
perf stat -a -I 1000 -e imx9_ddr0/eddrtq_pm_wr_trans_filt,counter=3,axi_mask=ID_MASK,axi_id=ID/
perf stat -a -I 1000 -e imx9_ddr0/eddrtq_pm_rd_beat_filt,counter=4,axi_mask=ID_MASK,axi_id=ID/

Merge tag 'irq-core-2022-12-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the interrupt core and driver subsystem:

The bulk is the rework of the MSI subsystem to support per device MSI
interrupt domains. This solves conceptual problems of the current
PCI/MSI design which are in the way of providing support for
PCI/MSI[-X] and the upcoming PCI/IMS mechanism on the same device.

IMS (Interrupt Message Store] is a new specification which allows
device manufactures to provide implementation defined storage for MSI
messages (as opposed to PCI/MSI and PCI/MSI-X that has a specified
message store which is uniform accross all devices). The PCI/MSI[-X]
uniformity allowed us to get away with "global" PCI/MSI domains.

IMS not only allows to overcome the size limitations of the MSI-X
table, but also gives the device manufacturer the freedom to store the
message in arbitrary places, even in host memory which is shared with
the device.

There have been several attempts to glue this into the current MSI
code, but after lengthy discussions it turned out that there is a
fundamental design problem in the current PCI/MSI-X implementation.
This needs some historical background.

When PCI/MSI[-X] support was added around 2003, interrupt management
was completely different from what we have today in the actively
developed architectures. Interrupt management was completely
architecture specific and while there were attempts to create common
infrastructure the commonalities were rudimentary and just providing
shared data structures and interfaces so that drivers could be written
in an architecture agnostic way.

The initial PCI/MSI[-X] support obviously plugged into this model
which resulted in some basic shared infrastructure in the PCI core
code for setting up MSI descriptors, which are a pure software
construct for holding data relevant for a particular MSI interrupt,
but the actual association to Linux interrupts was completely
architecture specific. This model is still supported today to keep
museum architectures and notorious stragglers alive.

In 2013 Intel tried to add support for hot-pluggable IO/APICs to the
kernel, which was creating yet another architecture specific mechanism
and resulted in an unholy mess on top of the existing horrors of x86
interrupt handling. The x86 interrupt management code was already an
incomprehensible maze of indirections between the CPU vector
management, interrupt remapping and the actual IO/APIC and PCI/MSI[-X]
implementation.

At roughly the same time ARM struggled with the ever growing SoC
specific extensions which were glued on top of the architected GIC
interrupt controller.

This resulted in a fundamental redesign of interrupt management and
provided the today prevailing concept of hierarchical interrupt
domains. This allowed to disentangle the interactions between x86
vector domain and interrupt remapping and also allowed ARM to handle
the zoo of SoC specific interrupt components in a sane way.

The concept of hierarchical interrupt domains aims to encapsulate the
functionality of particular IP blocks which are involved in interrupt
delivery so that they become extensible and pluggable. The X86
encapsulation looks like this:

|--- device 1
[Vector]---[Remapping]---[PCI/MSI]--|...
|--- device N

where the remapping domain is an optional component and in case that
it is not available the PCI/MSI[-X] domains have the vector domain as
their parent. This reduced the required interaction between the
domains pretty much to the initialization phase where it is obviously
required to establish the proper parent relation ship in the
components of the hierarchy.

While in most cases the model is strictly representing the chain of IP
blocks and abstracting them so they can be plugged together to form a
hierarchy, the design stopped short on PCI/MSI[-X]. Looking at the
hardware it's clear that the actual PCI/MSI[-X] interrupt controller
is not a global entity, but strict a per PCI device entity.

Here we took a short cut on the hierarchical model and went for the
easy solution of providing "global" PCI/MSI domains which was possible
because the PCI/MSI[-X] handling is uniform across the devices. This
also allowed to keep the existing PCI/MSI[-X] infrastructure mostly
unchanged which in turn made it simple to keep the existing
architecture specific management alive.

A similar problem was created in the ARM world with support for IP
block specific message storage. Instead of going all the way to stack
a IP block specific domain on top of the generic MSI domain this ended
in a construct which provides a "global" platform MSI domain which
allows overriding the irq_write_msi_msg() callback per allocation.

In course of the lengthy discussions we identified other abuse of the
MSI infrastructure in wireless drivers, NTB etc. where support for
implementation specific message storage was just mindlessly glued into
the existing infrastructure. Some of this just works by chance on
particular platforms but will fail in hard to diagnose ways when the
driver is used on platforms where the underlying MSI interrupt
management code does not expect the creative abuse.

Another shortcoming of today's PCI/MSI-X support is the inability to
allocate or free individual vectors after the initial enablement of
MSI-X. This results in an works by chance implementation of VFIO (PCI
pass-through) where interrupts on the host side are not set up upfront
to avoid resource exhaustion. They are expanded at run-time when the
guest actually tries to use them. The way how this is implemented is
that the host disables MSI-X and then re-enables it with a larger
number of vectors again. That works by chance because most device
drivers set up all interrupts before the device actually will utilize
them. But that's not universally true because some drivers allocate a
large enough number of vectors but do not utilize them until it's
actually required, e.g. for acceleration support. But at that point
other interrupts of the device might be in active use and the MSI-X
disable/enable dance can just result in losing interrupts and
therefore hard to diagnose subtle problems.

Last but not least the "global" PCI/MSI-X domain approach prevents to
utilize PCI/MSI[-X] and PCI/IMS on the same device due to the fact
that IMS is not longer providing a uniform storage and configuration
model.

The solution to this is to implement the missing step and switch from
global PCI/MSI domains to per device PCI/MSI domains. The resulting
hierarchy then looks like this:

|--- [PCI/MSI] device 1
[Vector]---[Remapping]---|...
|--- [PCI/MSI] device N

which in turn allows to provide support for multiple domains per
device:

|--- [PCI/MSI] device 1
|--- [PCI/IMS] device 1
[Vector]---[Remapping]---|...
|--- [PCI/MSI] device N
|--- [PCI/IMS] device N

This work converts the MSI and PCI/MSI core and the x86 interrupt
domains to the new model, provides new interfaces for post-enable
allocation/free of MSI-X interrupts and the base framework for
PCI/IMS. PCI/IMS has been verified with the work in progress IDXD
driver.

There is work in progress to convert ARM over which will replace the
platform MSI train-wreck. The cleanup of VFIO, NTB and other creative
"solutions" are in the works as well.

Drivers:

- Updates for the LoongArch interrupt chip drivers

- Support for MTK CIRQv2

- The usual small fixes and updates all over the place"
