powerpc: Don't use %pK through printk

2025-07-22T08:51:18Z

In the past %pK was preferable to %p as it would not leak raw pointer values into the kernel log. Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p") the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue. Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts. Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer and easier to reason about.

powerpc/perf: Remove driver-specific throttle support

2025-05-21T11:57:44Z

The throttle support has been added in the generic code. Remove the driver-specific throttle support. Besides the throttle, perf_event_overflow may return true because of event_limit. It already does an inatomic event disable. The pmu->stop is not required either.

powerpc/kvm-hv-pmu: Add perf-events for Hostwide counters

2025-04-16T16:46:10Z

Update 'kvm-hv-pmu.c' to add five new perf-events mapped to the five Hostwide counters. Since these newly introduced perf events are at system wide scope and can be read from any L1-Lpar CPU, 'kvmppc_pmu' scope and capabilities are updated appropriately. Also introduce two new helpers. First is kvmppc_update_l0_stats() that uses the infrastructure introduced in previous patches to issues the H_GUEST_GET_STATE hcall L0-PowerVM to fetch guest-state-buffer holding the latest values of these counters which is then parsed and 'l0_stats' variable updated. Second helper is kvmppc_pmu_event_update() which is called from 'kvmppv_pmu' callbacks and uses kvmppc_update_l0_stats() to update 'l0_stats' and the update the 'struct perf_event's event-counter. Some minor updates to kvmppc_pmu_{add, del, read}() to remove some debug scaffolding code.

powerpc/kvm-hv-pmu: Implement GSB message-ops for hostwide counters

2025-04-16T16:46:09Z

Implement and setup necessary structures to send a prepolulated Guest-State-Buffer(GSB) requesting hostwide counters to L0-PowerVM and have the returned GSB holding the values of these counters parsed. This is done via existing GSB implementation and with the newly added support of Hostwide elements in GSB. The request to L0-PowerVM to return Hostwide counters is done using a pre-allocated GSB named 'gsb_l0_stats'. To be able to populate this GSB with the needed Guest-State-Elements (GSIDs) a instance of 'struct kvmppc_gs_msg' named 'gsm_l0_stats' is introduced. The 'gsm_l0_stats' is tied to an instance of 'struct kvmppc_gs_msg_ops' named 'gsb_ops_l0_stats' which holds various callbacks to be compute the size ( hostwide_get_size() ), populate the GSB ( hostwide_fill_info() ) and refresh ( hostwide_refresh_info() ) the contents of 'l0_stats' that holds the Hostwide counters returned from L0-PowerVM. To protect these structures from simultaneous access a spinlock 'lock_l0_stats' has been introduced. The allocation and initialization of the above structures is done in newly introduced kvmppc_init_hostwide() and similarly the cleanup is performed in newly introduced kvmppc_cleanup_hostwide().

kvm powerpc/book3s-apiv2: Introduce kvm-hv specific PMU

2025-04-16T16:46:09Z

Introduce a new PMU named 'kvm-hv' inside a new module named 'kvm-hv-pmu' to report Book3s kvm-hv specific performance counters. This will expose KVM-HV specific performance attributes to user-space via kernel's PMU infrastructure and would enableusers to monitor active kvm-hv based guests. The patch creates necessary scaffolding to for the new PMU callbacks and introduces the new kernel module name 'kvm-hv-pmu' which is built with CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_PMU. The patch doesn't introduce any perf-events yet, which will be introduced in later patches Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Jain Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250416162740.93143-5-vaibhav@linux.ibm.com

perf/arch: Record sample last_period before updating on the x86 and PowerPC platforms

2025-04-09T11:45:08Z

This change alters the PowerPC and x86 driver implementations to record the last sample period before the event is updated for the next period. A common pattern in PMU driver implementations is to have a "*_event_set_period" function which takes care of updating the various period-related fields in a perf_event structure. In most cases, the drivers choose to call this function after initializing a sample data structure with perf_sample_data_init. The x86 and PowerPC drivers deviate from this, choosing to update the period before initializing the sample data. When using an event with an alternate sample period, this causes an incorrect period to be written to the sample data that gets reported to userspace.
