powerpc/perf: Fix PMU callbacks to clear pending PMI before resetting an overflown PMC
Running perf fuzzer showed below in dmesg logs: "Can't find PMC that caused IRQ" This means a PMU exception happened, but none of the PMC's (Performance Monitor Counter) were found to be overflown. There are some corner cases that clears the PMCs after PMI gets masked. In such cases, the perf interrupt handler will not find the active PMC values that had caused the overflow and thus leads to this message while replaying. Case 1: PMU Interrupt happens during replay of other interrupts and counter values gets cleared by PMU callbacks before replay: During replay of interrupts like timer, __do_irq() and doorbell exception, we conditionally enable interrupts via may_hard_irq_enable(). This could potentially create a window to generate a PMI. Since irq soft mask is set to ALL_DISABLED, the PMI will get masked here. We could get IPIs run before perf interrupt is replayed and the PMU events could be deleted or stopped. This will change the PMU SPR values and resets the counters.

If the local_add() operation happens within a local_irq_save(), replay of PMI will be during local_irq_restore(). Similar to case 1, this could also create a window before replay where PMU events gets deleted or stopped. Fix it by updating the PMU callback function power_pmu_disable() to check for pending perf interrupt. If there is an overflown PMC and pending perf interrupt indicated in paca, clear the PMI bit in paca to drop that sample. Clearing of PMI bit is done in power_pmu_disable() since disable is invoked before any event gets deleted/stopped. With this fix, if there are more than one event running in the PMU, there is a chance that we clear the PMI bit for the event which is not getting deleted/stopped. The other events may still remain active. Hence to make sure we don't drop valid sample in such cases, another check is added in power_pmu_enable. This checks if there is an overflown PMC found among the active events and if so enable back the PMI bit. Two new helper functions are introduced to clear/set the PMI, ie clear_pmi_irq_pending() and set_pmi_irq_pending(). Helper function pmi_irq_pending() is introduced to give a warning if there is pending PMI bit in paca, but no PMC is overflown. Also there are corner cases which result in performance monitor interrupts being triggered during power_pmu_disable(). This happens since PMXE bit is not cleared along with disabling of other MMCR0 bits in the pmu_disable. Such PMI's could leave the PMU running and could trigger PMI again which will set MMCR0 PMAO bit. This could lead to spurious interrupts in some corner cases. Example, a timer after power_pmu_del() which will re-enable interrupts and triggers a PMI again since PMAO bit is still set. But fails to find valid overflow since PMC was cleared in power_pmu_del(). Fix that by disabling PMXE along with disabling of other MMCR0 bits in power_pmu_disable(). We can't just replay PMI any time. Hence this approach is preferred rather than replaying PMI before resetting overflown PMC. Patch also documents core-book3s on a race condition which can trigger these PMC messages during idle path in PowerNV.
