Add the DDR Sub-System Driveway Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) driver
support for Alibaba T-Head Yitian 710 SoC chip. Yitian supports DDR5/4
DRAM and targets cloud computing and HPC.
Each PMU is registered as a device in /sys/bus/event_source/devices, and
users can select event to monitor in each sub-channel, independently. For
example, ali_drw_21000 and ali_drw_21080 are two PMU devices for two
sub-channels of the same channel in die 0. And the PMU device of die 1 is
prefixed with ali_drw_400XXXXX, e.g. ali_drw_40021000.
Due to hardware limitation, one of DDRSS Driveway PMU overflow interrupt
shares the same irq number with MPAM ERR_IRQ. To register DDRSS PMU and
MPAM drivers successfully, add IRQF_SHARED flag.

RISC-V SBI specification added a PMU extension that allows to configure
start/stop any pmu counter. The RISC-V perf can use most of the generic
perf features except interrupt overflow and event filtering based on
privilege mode which will be added in future.
It also allows to monitor a handful of firmware counters that can provide
insights into firmware activity during a performance analysis.

The old RISC-V perf implementation allowed counting of only
cycle/instruction counters using perf. Restore that feature by implementing
a simple platform driver under a separate config to provide backward
compatibility. Any existing software stack will continue to work as it is.
However, it provides an easy way out in future where we can remove the
legacy driver.

Add a new, weird and wonderful driver for the equally weird Apple
PMU HW. Although the PMU itself is functional, we don't know much
about the events yet, so this can be considered as yet another
random number generator...
Nonetheless, it can reliably count at least cycles and instructions
in the usually wonky big-little way. For anything else, it of course
supports raw event numbers.

Marvell CN10k DRAM Subsystem (DSS) supports eight event counters for
monitoring performance and software can program each counter to monitor
any of the defined performance event. Performance events are for
interface between the DDR controller and the PHY, interface between the
DDR Controller and the CHI interconnect, or within the DDR Controller.
Additionally DSS also supports two fixed performance event counters, one
for number of ddr reads and other for ddr writes.
This patch add basic support for these performance monitoring events
on CN10k.

This driver adds support for Last-level cache tag-and-data unit
(LLC-TAD) PMU that is featured in some of the Marvell's CN10K
infrastructure silicons.
The LLC is divided into 2N slices distributed across N Mesh tiles
in a single-socket configuration. The driver always configures the
same counter for all of the TADs. The user would end up effectively
reserving one of eight counters in every TAD to look across all TADs.
The occurrences of events are aggregated and presented to the user
at the end of an application run. The driver does not provide a way
for the user to partition TADs so that different TADs are used for
different applications.
The event counters are zeroed to start event counting to avoid any
rollover issues. TAD perf counters are 64-bit, so it's not currently
possible to overflow event counters at current mesh and core
frequencies.
To measure tad pmu events use perf tool stat command. For instance:
perf stat -e tad_dat_msh_in_dss,tad_req_msh_out_any <application>
perf stat -e tad_alloc_any,tad_hit_any,tad_tag_rd <application>

#perf stat -e arm_dmc620_10008c000/clk_cycle_count/ -C 0
Get perf event for clk_cycle_count counter.
#perf stat -e arm_dmc620_10008c000/clkdiv2_allocate,mask=0x1f,match=0x2f,
incr=2,invert=1/ -C 0

Adds a new driver to support the SMMUv3 PMU and add it into the
perf events framework.
Each SMMU node may have multiple PMUs associated with it, each of
which may support different events.
SMMUv3 PMCG devices are named as smmuv3_pmcg_<phys_addr_page> where
<phys_addr_page> is the physical page address of the SMMU PMCG
wrapped to 4K boundary. For example, the PMCG at 0xff88840000 is
named smmuv3_pmcg_ff88840
Filtering by stream id is done by specifying filtering parameters
with the event. options are:
filter_enable - 0 = no filtering, 1 = filtering enabled
filter_span - 0 = exact match, 1 = pattern match
filter_stream_id - pattern to filter against
Example: perf stat -e smmuv3_pmcg_ff88840/transaction,filter_enable=1,
filter_span=1,filter_stream_id=0x42/ -a netperf
Applies filter pattern 0x42 to transaction events, which means events
matching stream ids 0x42 & 0x43 are counted as only upper StreamID
bits are required to match the given filter. Further filtering
information is available in the SMMU documentation.
SMMU events are not attributable to a CPU, so task mode and sampling
are not supported.

The arm-cci driver is really two entirely separate drivers; one for MCPM
port control and the other for the performance monitors. Since they are
already relatively self-contained, let's take the plunge and move the
PMU parts out to drivers/perf where they belong these days. For non-MCPM
systems this leaves a small dependency on the remaining "bus" stub for
initial probing and discovery, but we end up with something that still
fits the general pattern of its fellow system PMU drivers to ease future
maintenance.
Moving code to a new file also offers a perfect excuse to modernise the
license/copyright headers and clean up some funky linewraps on the way.

Add support for the Cluster PMU part of the ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit (DSU).
The DSU integrates one or more cores with an L3 memory system, control
logic, and external interfaces to form a multicore cluster. The PMU
allows counting the various events related to L3, SCU etc, along with
providing a cycle counter.
The PMU can be accessed via system registers, which are common
to the cores in the same cluster. The PMU registers follow the
semantics of the ARMv8 PMU, mostly, with the exception that
the counters record the cluster wide events.
This driver is mostly based on the ARMv8 and CCI PMU drivers.
The driver only supports ARM64 at the moment. It can be extended
to support ARM32 by providing register accessors like we do in
arch/arm64/include/arm_dsu_pmu.h.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The big highlight is support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
which required extensive ABI work to ensure we don't break existing
applications by blowing away their signal stack with the rather large
new vector context (<= 2 kbit per vector register). There's further
work to be done optimising things like exception return, but the ABI
is solid now.
Much of the line count comes from some new PMU drivers we have, but
they're pretty self-contained and I suspect we'll have more of them in
future.
Plenty of acronym soup here:
- initial support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
- improved handling for SError interrupts (required to handle RAS
events)
- enable GCC support for 128-bit integer types
- remove kernel text addresses from backtraces and register dumps

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The ARMv8.2 architecture introduces the optional Statistical Profiling
Extension (SPE).
SPE can be used to profile a population of operations in the CPU pipeline
after instruction decode. These are either architected instructions (i.e.
a dynamic instruction trace) or CPU-specific uops and the choice is fixed
statically in the hardware and advertised to userspace via caps/. Sampling
is controlled using a sampling interval, similar to a regular PMU counter,
but also with an optional random perturbation to avoid falling into patterns
where you continuously profile the same instruction in a hot loop.
After each operation is decoded, the interval counter is decremented. When
it hits zero, an operation is chosen for profiling and tracked within the
pipeline until it retires. Along the way, information such as TLB lookups,
cache misses, time spent to issue etc is captured in the form of a sample.
The sample is then filtered according to certain criteria (e.g. load
latency) that can be specified in the event config (described under
format/) and, if the sample satisfies the filter, it is written out to
memory as a record, otherwise it is discarded. Only one operation can
be sampled at a time.
The in-memory buffer is linear and virtually addressed, raising an
interrupt when it fills up. The PMU driver handles these interrupts to
give the appearance of a ring buffer, as expected by the AUX code.
The in-memory trace-like format is self-describing (though not parseable
in reverse) and written as a series of records, with each record
corresponding to a sample and consisting of a sequence of packets. These
packets are defined by the architecture, although some have CPU-specific
fields for recording information specific to the microarchitecture.
As a simple example, a record generated for a branch instruction may
consist of the following packets:
0 (Address) : Virtual PC of the branch instruction
1 (Type) : Conditional direct branch
2 (Counter) : Number of cycles taken from Dispatch to Issue
3 (Address) : Virtual branch target + condition flags
4 (Counter) : Number of cycles taken from Dispatch to Complete
5 (Events) : Mispredicted as not-taken
6 (END) : End of record
It is also possible to toggle properties such as timestamp packets in
each record.
This patch adds support for SPE in the form of a new perf driver.

This patch adds framework code to handle parsing PMU data out of the
MADT, sanity checking this, and managing the association of CPUs (and
their interrupts) with appropriate logical PMUs.
For the time being, we expect that only one PMU driver (PMUv3) will make
use of this, and we simply pass in a single probe function.
This is based on an earlier patch from Jeremy Linton.

Now that we've split the pdev and DT probing logic from the runtime
management, let's move the former into its own file. We gain a few lines
due to the copyright header and includes, but this should keep the logic
clearly separated, and paves the way for adding ACPI support in a
similar fashion.

This adds a new dynamic PMU to the Perf Events framework to program
and control the L3 cache PMUs in some Qualcomm Technologies SOCs.
The driver supports a distributed cache architecture where the overall
cache for a socket is comprised of multiple slices each with its own PMU.
Access to each individual PMU is provided even though all CPUs share all
the slices. User space needs to aggregate to individual counts to provide
a global picture.
The driver exports formatting and event information to sysfs so it can
be used by the perf user space tools with the syntaxes:
perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_0/read-miss/
perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_0/event=0x21/

Adds perf events support for L2 cache PMU.
The L2 cache PMU driver is named 'l2cache_0' and can be used
with perf events to profile L2 events such as cache hits
and misses on Qualcomm Technologies processors.

To enable sharing of the arm_pmu code with arm64, this patch factors it
out to drivers/perf/. A new drivers/perf directory is added for
performance monitor drivers to live under.
MAINTAINERS is updated accordingly. Files added previously without a
corresponsing MAINTAINERS update (perf_regs.c, perf_callchain.c, and
perf_event.h) are also added.
