This patch adds two new functions to enable/disable
the watchdog across all CPUs.

This will be used by the HT PMU bug workaround code to
disable/enable the NMI watchdog across quirk enablement.

perf/x86/intel: Limit to half counters when the HT workaround is enabled, to avoid exclusive mode starvation

This patch limits the number of counters available to each CPU when
the HT bug workaround is enabled.

This is necessary to avoid situation of counter starvation. Such can
arise from configuration where one HT thread, HT0, is using all 4 counters
with corrupting events which require exclusion the the sibling HT, HT1.

In such case, HT1 would not be able to schedule any event until HT0
is done. To mitigate this problem, this patch artificially limits
the number of counters to 2.

That way, we can gurantee that at least 2 counters are not in exclusive
mode and therefore allow the sibling thread to schedule events of the
same type (system vs. per-thread). The 2 counters are not determined
in advance. We simply set the limit to two events per HT.

This helps mitigate starvation in case of events with specific counter
constraints such a PREC_DIST.

Note that this does not elimintate the starvation is all cases. But
it is better than not having it.

(Solution suggested by Peter Zjilstra.)

This patch implements a software workaround for a HW erratum
on Intel SandyBridge, IvyBridge and Haswell processors
with Hyperthreading enabled. The errata are documented for
each processor in their respective specification update
documents:

  - SandyBridge: BJ122
  - IvyBridge: BV98
  - Haswell: HSD29

The bug causes silent counter corruption across hyperthreads only
when measuring certain memory events (0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2, 0xd3).
Counters measuring those events may leak counts to the sibling
counter. For instance, counter 0, thread 0 measuring event 0xd0,
may leak to counter 0, thread 1, regardless of the event measured
there. The size of the leak is not predictible. It all depends on
the workload and the state of each sibling hyper-thread. The
corrupting events do undercount as a consequence of the leak. The
leak is compensated automatically only when the sibling counter measures
the exact same corrupting event AND the workload is on the two threads
is the same. Given, there is no way to guarantee this, a work-around
is necessary. Furthermore, there is a serious problem if the leaked count
is added to a low-occurrence event. In that case the corruption on
the low occurrence event can be very large, e.g., orders of magnitude.

There is no HW or FW workaround for this problem.

The bug is very easy to reproduce on a loaded system.
Here is an example on a Haswell client, where CPU0, CPU4
are siblings. We load the CPUs with a simple triad app
streaming large floating-point vector. We use 0x81d0
corrupting event (MEM_UOPS_RETIRED:ALL_LOADS) and
0x20cc (ROB_MISC_EVENTS:LBR_INSERTS). Given we are not
using the LBR, the 0x20cc event should be zero.

  $ taskset -c 0 triad &
  $ taskset -c 4 triad &
  $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e r81d0 sleep 100 &
  $ perf stat -a -C 4 -r20cc sleep 10
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
        139 277 291      r20cc
       10,000969126 seconds time elapsed

In this example, 0x81d0 and r20cc ar eusing sinling counters
on CPU0 and CPU4. 0x81d0 leaks into 0x20cc and corrupts it
from 0 to 139 millions occurrences.

This patch provides a software workaround to this problem by modifying the
way events are scheduled onto counters by the kernel. The patch forces
cross-thread mutual exclusion between counters in case a corrupting event
is measured by one of the hyper-threads. If thread 0, counter 0 is measuring
event 0xd0, then nothing can be measured on counter 0, thread 1. If no corrupting
event is measured on any hyper-thread, event scheduling proceeds as before.

The same example run with the workaround enabled, yield the correct answer:

  $ taskset -c 0 triad &
  $ taskset -c 4 triad &
  $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e r81d0 sleep 100 &
  $ perf stat -a -C 4 -r20cc sleep 10
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
        0 r20cc
       10,000969126 seconds time elapsed

The patch does provide correctness for all non-corrupting events. It does not
"repatriate" the leaked counts back to the leaking counter. This is planned
for a second patch series. This patch series makes this repatriation more
easy by guaranteeing the sibling counter is not measuring any useful event.

The patch introduces dynamic constraints for events. That means that events which
did not have constraints, i.e., could be measured on any counters, may now be
constrained to a subset of the counters depending on what is going on the sibling
thread. The algorithm is similar to a cache coherency protocol. We call it XSU
in reference to Exclusive, Shared, Unused, the 3 possible states of a PMU
counter.

As a consequence of the workaround, users may see an increased amount of event
multiplexing, even in situtations where there are fewer events than counters
measured on a CPU.

Patch has been tested on all three impacted processors. Note that when
HT is off, there is no corruption. However, the workaround is still enabled,
yet not costing too much. Adding a dynamic detection of HT on turned out to
be complex are requiring too much to code to be justified.

This patch addresses the issue when PEBS is not used. A subsequent patch
fixes the problem when PEBS is used.

Add support for Branch Trace Store (BTS) via kernel perf event infrastructure.
The difference with the existing implementation of BTS support is that this
one is a separate PMU that exports events' trace buffers to userspace by means
of AUX area of the perf buffer, which is zero-copy mapped into userspace.

The immediate benefit is that the buffer size can be much bigger, resulting in
fewer interrupts and no kernel side copying is involved and little to no trace
data loss. Also, kernel code can be traced with this driver.

The old way of collecting BTS traces still works.

Add support for Intel Processor Trace (PT) to kernel's perf events.
PT is an extension of Intel Architecture that collects information about
software execuction such as control flow, execution modes and timings and
formats it into highly compressed binary packets. Even being compressed,
these packets are generated at hundreds of megabytes per second per core,
which makes it impractical to decode them on the fly in the kernel.

This driver exports trace data by through AUX space in the perf ring
buffer, which is zero-copy mapped into userspace for faster data retrieval.

For counters that generate AUX data that is bound to the context of a
running task, such as instruction tracing, the decoder needs to know
exactly which task is running when the event is first scheduled in,
before the first sched_switch. The decoder's need to know this stems
from the fact that instruction flow trace decoding will almost always
require program's object code in order to reconstruct said flow and
for that we need at least its pid/tid in the perf stream.

To single out such instruction tracing pmus, this patch introduces
ITRACE PMU capability. The reason this is not part of RECORD_AUX
record is that not all pmus capable of generating AUX data need this,
and the opposite is *probably* also true.

While sched_switch covers for most cases, there are two problems with it:
the consumer will need to process events out of order (that is, having
found RECORD_AUX, it will have to skip forward to the nearest sched_switch
to figure out which task it was, then go back to the actual trace to
decode it) and it completely misses the case when the tracing is enabled
and disabled before sched_switch, for example, via PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE.

When AUX area gets a certain amount of new data, we want to wake up
userspace to collect it. This adds a new control to specify how much
data will cause a wakeup. This is then passed down to pmu drivers via
output handle's "wakeup" field, so that the driver can find the nearest
point where it can generate an interrupt.

We repurpose __reserved_2 in the event attribute for this, even though
it was never checked to be zero before, aux_watermark will only matter
for new AUX-aware code, so the old code should still be fine.

This adds support for overwrite mode in the AUX area, which means "keep
collecting data till you're stopped", turning AUX area into a circular
buffer, where new data overwrites old data. It does not depend on data
buffer's overwrite mode, so that it doesn't lose sideband data that is
instrumental for processing AUX data.

Overwrite mode is enabled at mapping AUX area read only. Even though
aux_tail in the buffer's user page might be user writable, it will be
ignored in this mode.

A PERF_RECORD_AUX with PERF_AUX_FLAG_OVERWRITE set is written to the perf
data stream every time an event writes new data to the AUX area. The pmu
driver might not be able to infer the exact beginning of the new data in
each snapshot, some drivers will only provide the tail, which is
aux_offset + aux_size in the AUX record. Consumer has to be able to tell
the new data from the old one, for example, by means of time stamps if
such are provided in the trace.

Consumer is also responsible for disabling any events that might write
to the AUX area (thus potentially racing with the consumer) before
collecting the data.

For pmus that wish to write data to ring buffer's AUX area, provide
perf_aux_output_{begin,end}() calls to initiate/commit data writes,
similarly to perf_output_{begin,end}. These also use the same output
handle structure. Also, similarly to software counterparts, these
will direct inherited events' output to parents' ring buffers.

After the perf_aux_output_begin() returns successfully, handle->size
is set to the maximum amount of data that can be written wrt aux_tail
pointer, so that no data that the user hasn't seen will be overwritten,
therefore this should always be called before hardware writing is
enabled. On success, this will return the pointer to pmu driver's
private structure allocated for this aux area by pmu::setup_aux. Same
pointer can also be retrieved using perf_get_aux() while hardware
writing is enabled.

PMU driver should pass the actual amount of data written as a parameter
to perf_aux_output_end(). All hardware writes should be completed and
visible before this one is called.

Additionally, perf_aux_output_skip() will adjust output handle and
aux_head in case some part of the buffer has to be skipped over to
maintain hardware's alignment constraints.

Nested writers are forbidden and guards are in place to catch such
attempts.

Usually, pmus that do, for example, instruction tracing, would only ever
be able to have one event per task per cpu (or per perf_event_context). For
such pmus it makes sense to disallow creating conflicting events early on,
so as to provide consistent behavior for the user.

This patch adds a pmu capability that indicates such constraint on event
creation.

For pmus that don't support scatter-gather for AUX data in hardware, it
might still make sense to implement software double buffering to avoid
losing data while the user is reading data out. For this purpose, add
a pmu capability that guarantees multiple high-order chunks for AUX buffer,
so that the pmu driver can do switchover tricks.

To make use of this feature, add PERF_PMU_CAP_AUX_SW_DOUBLEBUF to your
pmu's capability mask. This will make the ring buffer AUX allocation code
ensure that the biggest high order allocation for the aux buffer pages is
no bigger than half of the total requested buffer size, thus making sure
that the buffer has at least two high order allocations.

This patch introduces "AUX space" in the perf mmap buffer, intended for
exporting high bandwidth data streams to userspace, such as instruction
flow traces.

AUX space is a ring buffer, defined by aux_{offset,size} fields in the
user_page structure, and read/write pointers aux_{head,tail}, which abide
by the same rules as data_* counterparts of the main perf buffer.

In order to allocate/mmap AUX, userspace needs to set up aux_offset to
such an offset that will be greater than data_offset+data_size and
aux_size to be the desired buffer size. Both need to be page aligned.
Then, same aux_offset and aux_size should be passed to mmap() call and
if everything adds up, you should have an AUX buffer as a result.

Pages that are mapped into this buffer also come out of user's mlock
rlimit plus perf_event_mlock_kb allowance.

Currently, the actual perf ring buffer is one page into the mmap area,
following the user page and the userspace follows this convention. This
patch adds data_{offset,size} fields to user_page that can be used by
userspace instead for locating perf data in the mmap area. This is also
helpful when mapping existing or shared buffers if their size is not
known in advance.

Right now, it is made to follow the existing convention that

	data_offset == PAGE_SIZE and
	data_offset + data_size == mmap_size.

For supporting Intel LBR branches filtering, Intel LBR sharing logic
mechanism is introduced from commit b36817e8

 ("perf/x86: Add Intel
LBR sharing logic"). It modifies __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints() to
config lbr_sel, which is finally used to set LBR_SELECT.

However, the intel_shared_regs_constraints() function is called after
intel_pebs_constraints(). The PEBS event will return immediately after
intel_pebs_constraints(). So it's impossible to filter branches for PEBS
events.

This patch moves intel_shared_regs_constraints() ahead of
intel_pebs_constraints().

We can safely do that because the intel_shared_regs_constraints() function
only returns empty constraint if its rejecting the event, otherwise it
returns NULL such that we continue calling intel_pebs_constraints() and
x86_get_event_constraint().

So bpf_tracing.o depends on CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL - but that's not its only
dependency, it also depends on the tracing infrastructure and on kprobes,
without which it will fail to build with:

  In file included from kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:14:0:
  kernel/trace/trace.h: In function ‘trace_test_and_set_recursion’:
  kernel/trace/trace.h:491:28: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘trace_recursion’
    unsigned int val = current->trace_recursion;
  [...]

It took quite some time to trigger this build failure, because right now
BPF_SYSCALL is very obscure, depends on CONFIG_EXPERT. So also make BPF_SYSCALL
more configurable, not just under CONFIG_EXPERT.

If BPF_SYSCALL, tracing and kprobes are enabled then enable the bpf_tracing
gateway as well.

We might want to make this an interactive option later on, although
I'd not complicate it unnecessarily: enabling BPF_SYSCALL is enough of
an indicator that the user wants BPF support.

One BPF program attaches to kmem_cache_alloc_node() and
remembers all allocated objects in the map.
Another program attaches to kmem_cache_free() and deletes
corresponding object from the map.

User space walks the map every second and prints any objects
which are older than 1 second.

Usage:

	$ sudo tracex4

Then start few long living processes. The 'tracex4' will print
something like this:

	obj 0xffff880465928000 is 13sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
	obj 0xffff88043181c280 is 13sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
	obj 0xffff880465848000 is  8sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
	obj 0xffff8804338bc280 is 15sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32

	$ addr2line -fispe vmlinux ffffffff8105dc32
	do_fork at fork.c:1665

As soon as processes exit the memory is reclaimed and 'tracex4'
prints nothing.

Similar experiment can be done with the __kmalloc()/kfree() pair.

BPF C program attaches to
blk_mq_start_request()/blk_update_request() kprobe events to
calculate IO latency.

For every completed block IO event it computes the time delta
in nsec and records in a histogram map:

	map[log10(delta)*10]++

User space reads this histogram map every 2 seconds and prints
it as a 'heatmap' using gray shades of text terminal. Black
spaces have many events and white spaces have very few events.
Left most space is the smallest latency, right most space is
the largest latency in the range.

Usage:

	$ sudo ./tracex3
	and do 'sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null' in other terminal.

Observe IO latencies and how different activity (like 'make
kernel') affects it.

Similar experiments can be done for network transmit latencies,
syscalls, etc.

'-t' flag prints the heatmap using normal ascii characters:

$ sudo ./tracex3 -t
  heatmap of IO latency
  # - many events with this latency
    - few events

tracex1_kern.c - C program compiled into BPF.

It attaches to kprobe:netif_receive_skb()

When skb->dev->name == "lo", it prints sample debug message into
trace_pipe via bpf_trace_printk() helper function.

tracex1_user.c - corresponding user space component that:
  - loads BPF program via bpf() syscall
  - opens kprobes:netif_receive_skb event via perf_event_open()
    syscall
  - attaches the program to event via ioctl(event_fd,
    PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd);
  - prints from trace_pipe

Note, this BPF program is non-portable. It must be recompiled
with current kernel headers. kprobe is not a stable ABI and
BPF+kprobe scripts may no longer be meaningful when kernel
internals change.

No matter in what way the kernel changes, neither the kprobe,
nor the BPF program can ever crash or corrupt the kernel,
assuming the kprobes, perf and BPF subsystem has no bugs.

The verifier will detect that the program is using
bpf_trace_printk() and the kernel will print 'this is a DEBUG
kernel' warning banner, which means that bpf_trace_printk()
should be used for debugging of the BPF program only.

Usage:
$ sudo tracex1

Debugging of BPF programs needs some form of printk from the
program, so let programs call limited trace_printk() with %d %u
%x %p modifiers only.

Similar to kernel modules, during program load verifier checks
whether program is calling bpf_trace_printk() and if so, kernel

BPF programs, attached to kprobes, provide a safe way to execute
user-defined BPF byte-code programs without being able to crash or
hang the kernel in any way. The BPF engine makes sure that such
programs have a finite execution time and that they cannot break
out of their sandbox.

The user interface is to attach to a kprobe via the perf syscall:

	struct perf_event_attr attr = {
		.type	= PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT,
		.config	= event_id,
		...
	};

	event_fd = perf_event_open(&attr,...);
	ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd);

'prog_fd' is a file descriptor associated with BPF program
previously loaded.

'event_id' is an ID of the kprobe created.

Closing 'event_fd':

	close(event_fd);

... automatically detaches BPF program from it.

BPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to:

  - lookup/update/delete elements in maps

  - probe_read - wraper of probe_kernel_read() used to access any
    kernel data structures

BPF programs receive 'struct pt_regs *' as an input ('struct pt_regs' is
architecture dependent) and return 0 to ignore the event and 1 to store
kprobe event into the ring buffer.

Note, kprobes are a fundamentally _not_ a stable kernel ABI,
so BPF programs attached to kprobes must be recompiled for
every kernel version and user must supply correct LINUX_VERSION_CODE
in attr.kern_version during bpf_prog_load() call.

add TRACE_EVENT_FL_KPROBE flag to differentiate kprobe type of
tracepoints, since bpf programs can only be attached to kprobe
type of PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT perf events.

Socket filter code and other subsystems with upcoming eBPF
support should not need to deal with the fact that we have
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL defined or not.

Having the bpf syscall as a config option is a nice thing and
I'd expect it to stay that way for expert users (I presume one
day the default setting of it might change, though), but code
making use of it should not care if it's actually enabled or
not.

Instead, hide this via header files and let the rest deal with it.
