category: feature
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8EC9K
CVE: NA

--------------------------------

This extends recently added branch stack sampling framework in ARMV8 PMU to
enable such events via new architecture feature called Branch Record Buffer
Extension aka BRBE. This implements all the armv8pmu_branch_xxx() callbacks
as expected at ARMV8 PMU level required to drive perf branch stack sampling
events. This adds a new config option CONFIG_ARM64_BRBE to encapsulate this
BRBE based implementation, available only on ARM64 platforms.

BRBE hardware captures a branch record via three distinct system registers
representing branch source address, branch target address, and other branch
information. A BRBE buffer implementation is organized as multiple banks of
32 branch records each, which is a collection of BRBSRC_EL1, BRBTGT_EL1 and
BRBINF_EL1 registers. Though total BRBE record entries i.e BRBE_MAX_ENTRIES
cannot exceed MAX_BRANCH_RECORDS as defined for ARM PMU.

BRBE hardware attributes get captured in a new reg_brbidr element in struct
arm_pmu during armv8pmu_branch_probe() which is called from broader probing
function __armv8pmu_probe_pmu(). Attributes such as number of branch record
entries implemented in the hardware can be derived from armpmu->reg_brbidr.

BRBE gets enabled via armv8pmu_branch_enable() where it also derives branch
filter, and additional requirements from event's 'attr.branch_sample_type'
and configures them via BRBFCR_EL1 and BRBCR_EL1 registers.

PMU event overflow triggers IRQ, where current branch records get captured,
stitched along with older records available in 'task_ctx', before getting
processed for core perf ring buffer. Task context switch outs incrementally
save current branch records in event's 'pmu_ctx->task_ctx_data' to optimize
workload's branch record samples.

In case multiple events with different branch sample type requests converge
on the same PMU, BRBE gets enabled for branch filters for the last event's
branch sample type. No branch records will be captured and processed for an
event if BRBE hardware config does not match its branch sample type, while
handling the PMU IRQ.
