[ Upstream commit ca6f537e459e2da4b331fe8928d1a0b0f9301f42 ]

The SW_INCR event is somewhat unusual, and depends on the specific HW
counter that it is programmed into. When programmed into PMEVCNTR&lt;n&gt;,
SW_INCR will count any writes to PMSWINC_EL0 with bit n set, ignoring
writes to SW_INCR with bit n clear.

Event rotation means that there's no fixed relationship between
perf_events and HW counters, so this isn't all that useful.

Further, we program PMUSERENR.{SW,EN}=={0,0}, which causes EL0 writes to
PMSWINC_EL0 to be trapped and handled as UNDEFINED, resulting in a
SIGILL to userspace.

Given that, it's not a good idea to expose SW_INCR in sysfs. Hide it as
we did for CHAIN back in commit:

<content type='text'>
The driver used to truncate several 64-bit registers such as PMCEID[n]
registers used to describe whether architectural and microarchitectural
events in range 0x4000-0x401f exist. Due to discarding the bits, the
driver made the events invisible, even if they existed.

Moreover, PMCCFILTR and PMCR registers have additional bits in the upper
32 bits. This patch makes them available although they aren't currently
used. Finally, functions handling PMXEVCNTR and PMXEVTYPER registers are
removed as they not being used at all.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
  size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
  sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
  has been doing all this work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major
  infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have
  all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. Both arch and
  driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit less than a month. It
  is worth re-iterating the value:

   - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
     time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array

   - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
     sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files

  For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the
  unneeded check for procname == NULL.

  The last two patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen
  which allow us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used
  to work but the alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want
  to detect softlockups super early rather than wait and spend money on
  cloud solutions with nothing but an eventual hung kernel. Although
  this hadn't gone through linux-next it's also a stable fix, so we
  might as well roll through the fixes now"

<title>drivers: perf: arm_pmuv3: Drop some unused arguments from armv8_pmu_init()</title>

<content type='text'>
All the PMU init functions want the default sysfs attribute groups, and so
these all call armv8_pmu_init_nogroups() helper, with none of them calling
armv8_pmu_init() directly. When we introduced armv8_pmu_init_nogroups() in
the commit e424b1798526 ("arm64: perf: Refactor PMU init callbacks")

 ... we thought that we might need custom attribute groups in future, but
as we evidently haven't, we can remove the option.

This patch folds armv8_pmu_init_nogroups() into armv8_pmu_init(), removing
the ability to use custom attribute groups and simplifying the code.

<title>drivers: perf: arm_pmuv3: Read PMMIR_EL1 unconditionally</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=58f8fc57b1d314b5402c374a8c454ac7c870574c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:58f8fc57b1d314b5402c374a8c454ac7c870574c</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the PMUv3 driver only reads PMMIR_EL1 if the PMU implements
FEAT_PMUv3p4 and the STALL_SLOT event, but the check for STALL_SLOT event
isn't necessary and can be removed.

The check for STALL_SLOT event was introduced with the read of PMMIR_EL1 in
commit f5be3a61fdb5dd11 ("arm64: perf: Add support caps under sysfs")

When this logic was written, the ARM ARM said:

| If STALL_SLOT is not implemented, it is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether
| the PMMIR System registers are implemented.

... and thus the driver had to check for STALL_SLOT event to verify that
PMMIR_EL1 was implemented and accesses to PMMIR_EL1 would not be UNDEFINED.

Subsequently, the architecture was retrospectively tightened to require
that any FEAT_PMUv3p4 implementation implements PMMIR_EL1. Since the G.b
release of the ARM ARM, the wording regarding STALL_SLOT event has been
removed, and the description of PMMIR_EL1 says:

| This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3p4 is implemented.

Drop the unnecessary check for STALL_SLOT event when reading PMMIR_EL1.

<id>urn:sha1:de8a660b03a35c76b91a03421057833d29973877</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Removed the sentinel as well as the explicit size from ctl_isa_vars. The
size is redundant as the initialization sets it. Changed
insn_emulation-&gt;sysctl from a 2 element array of struct ctl_table to a
simple struct. This has no consequence for the sysctl registration as it
is forwarded as a pointer. Removed sentinel from sve_defatul_vl_table,
sme_default_vl_table, tagged_addr_sysctl_table and
armv8_pmu_sysctl_table.

This removal is safe because register_sysctl_sz and register_sysctl use
the array size in addition to checking for the sentinel.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Clean up vCPU targets, always returning generic v8 as the preferred
     target

   - Trap forwarding infrastructure for nested virtualization (used for
     traps that are taken from an L2 guest and are needed by the L1
     hypervisor)

   - FEAT_TLBIRANGE support to only invalidate specific ranges of
     addresses when collapsing a table PTE to a block PTE. This avoids
     that the guest refills the TLBs again for addresses that aren't
     covered by the table PTE.

   - Fix vPMU issues related to handling of PMUver.

   - Don't unnecessary align non-stack allocations in the EL2 VA space

   - Drop HCR_VIRT_EXCP_MASK, which was never used...

   - Don't use smp_processor_id() in kvm_arch_vcpu_load(), but the cpu
     parameter instead

   - Drop redundant call to kvm_set_pfn_accessed() in user_mem_abort()

   - Remove prototypes without implementations

  RISC-V:

   - Zba, Zbs, Zicntr, Zicsr, Zifencei, and Zihpm support for guest

   - Added ONE_REG interface for SATP mode

   - Added ONE_REG interface to enable/disable multiple ISA extensions

   - Improved error codes returned by ONE_REG interfaces

   - Added KVM_GET_REG_LIST ioctl() implementation for KVM RISC-V

   - Added get-reg-list selftest for KVM RISC-V

  s390:

   - PV crypto passthrough enablement (Tony, Steffen, Viktor, Janosch)

     Allows a PV guest to use crypto cards. Card access is governed by
     the firmware and once a crypto queue is "bound" to a PV VM every
     other entity (PV or not) looses access until it is not bound
     anymore. Enablement is done via flags when creating the PV VM.

   - Guest debug fixes (Ilya)

  x86:

   - Clean up KVM's handling of Intel architectural events

   - Intel bugfixes

   - Add support for SEV-ES DebugSwap, allowing SEV-ES guests to use
     debug registers and generate/handle #DBs

   - Clean up LBR virtualization code

   - Fix a bug where KVM fails to set the target pCPU during an IRTE
     update

   - Fix fatal bugs in SEV-ES intrahost migration

   - Fix a bug where the recent (architecturally correct) change to
     reinject #BP and skip INT3 broke SEV guests (can't decode INT3 to
     skip it)

   - Retry APIC map recalculation if a vCPU is added/enabled

   - Overhaul emergency reboot code to bring SVM up to par with VMX, tie
     the "emergency disabling" behavior to KVM actually being loaded,
     and move all of the logic within KVM

   - Fix user triggerable WARNs in SVM where KVM incorrectly assumes the
     TSC ratio MSR cannot diverge from the default when TSC scaling is
     disabled up related code

   - Add a framework to allow "caching" feature flags so that KVM can
     check if the guest can use a feature without needing to search
     guest CPUID

   - Rip out the ancient MMU_DEBUG crud and replace the useful bits with
     CONFIG_KVM_PROVE_MMU

   - Fix KVM's handling of !visible guest roots to avoid premature
     triple fault injection

   - Overhaul KVM's page-track APIs, and KVMGT's usage, to reduce the
     API surface that is needed by external users (currently only
     KVMGT), and fix a variety of issues in the process

  Generic:

   - Wrap kvm_{gfn,hva}_range.pte in a union to allow mmu_notifier
     events to pass action specific data without needing to constantly
     update the main handlers.

   - Drop unused function declarations

  Selftests:

   - Add testcases to x86's sync_regs_test for detecting KVM TOCTOU bugs

   - Add support for printf() in guest code and covert all guest asserts
     to use printf-based reporting

   - Clean up the PMU event filter test and add new testcases

Huang Shijie reports that, when profiling a guest from the host
with a number of events that exceeds the number of available
counters, the reported counts are wildly inaccurate. Without
the counter oversubscription, the reported counts are correct.

Their investigation indicates that upon counter rotation (which
takes place on the back of a timer interrupt), we fail to
re-apply the guest EL0 enabling, leading to the counting of host
events instead of guest events.

In order to solve this, add yet another hook between the host PMU
driver and KVM, re-applying the guest EL0 configuration if the
right conditions apply (the host is VHE, we are in interrupt
context, and we interrupted a running vcpu). This triggers a new
vcpu request which will apply the correct configuration on guest
reentry.

With this, we have the correct counts, even when the counters are
oversubscribed.
