powerpc/perf: Fix oops when kthread execs user process

2017-06-29T11:02:45Z

commit bf05fc25f268cd62f147f368fe65ad3e5b04fe9f upstream. When a kthread calls call_usermodehelper() the steps are: 1. allocate current->mm 2. load_elf_binary() 3. populate current->thread.regs While doing this, interrupts are not disabled. If there is a perf interrupt in the middle of this process (i.e. step 1 has completed but not yet reached to step 3) and if perf tries to read userspace regs, kernel oops with following log: Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000 Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000000da0fc ...

powerpc/perf: Handle sdar_mode for marked event in power9

2017-03-09T02:34:54Z

MMCRA[SDAR_MODE] specifices how the SDAR should be updated in continous sampling mode. On P9 it must be set to 0b00 when MMCRA[63] is set. Fixes: c7c3f568beff2 ('powerpc/perf: macros for power9 format encoding') Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/perf: Fix perf_get_data_addr() for power9 DD1

2017-03-09T02:34:53Z

Power9 DD1 do not support PMU_HAS_SIER flag and sdsync in perf_get_data_addr() defaults to MMCRA_SDSYNC which is wrong. Since power9 MMCRA does not support SDSYNC bit, patch includes PPMU_NO_SIAR flag to the check and set the sdsync with MMCRA_SAMPLE_ENABLE; Fixes: 27593d72c4ad ("powerpc/perf: Use MSR to report privilege level on P9 DD1") Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:36Z

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

powerpc/perf: Avoid FAB_*_MATCH checks for power9

2017-02-17T10:48:55Z

Since power9 does not support FAB_*_MATCH bits in MMCR1, avoid these checks for power9. For this, patch factor out code in isa207_get_constraint() to retain these checks only for power8. Patch also updates the comment in power9-pmu raw event encode layout to remove FAB_*_MATCH. Finally for power9, patch adds additional check for threshold events when adding the thresh mask and value in isa207_get_constraint(). fixes: 7ffd948fae4c ('powerpc/perf: factor out power8 pmu functions') fixes: 18201b204286 ('powerpc/perf: power9 raw event format encoding') Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/perf: Add restrictions to PMC5 in power9 DD1

2017-02-17T10:48:54Z

PMC5 on POWER9 DD1 may not provide right counts in all sampling scenarios, hence use PM_INST_DISP event instead in PMC2 or PMC3 in preference. Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/perf: Use Instruction Counter value

2017-02-17T10:48:54Z

Since PM_INST_DISP include speculative instruction, based on the workload the dispatch count could vary considerably. Hence as an alternative, for completed instruction counting, program the PM_INST_DISP event to the MMCR* but use Instruction Counter register value.

powerpc/perf: Use PM_INST_DISP for generic instructions sample

2017-02-17T10:48:53Z

Since PM_INST_CMPL may not provide right counts in all sampling scenarios in power9 DD1, instead use PM_INST_DISP. Patch also update generic instruction sampling with the same. Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
