Through:
validate_event()
x86_pmu.get_event_constraints(.idx=-1)
tfa_get_event_constraints()
dyn_constraint()
cpuc->constraint_list[-1] is used, which is an obvious out-of-bound access.
In this case, simply skip the TFA constraint code, there is no event
constraint with just PMC3, therefore the code will never result in the
empty set.

Pull x86 tsx fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides kernel side handling for the TSX erratum of Intel
Skylake (and later) CPUs.
On these CPUs Intel Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX)
functions can result in unpredictable system behavior under certain
circumstances.
The issue is mitigated with an microcode update which utilizes
Performance Monitoring Counter (PMC) 3 when TSX functions are in use.
This mitigation is enabled unconditionally by the updated microcode.
As a consequence the usage of TSX functions can cause corrupted
performance monitoring results for events which utilize PMC3. The
corruption is silent on kernels which have no update for this issue.
This update makes the kernel aware of the PMC3 utilization by the
microcode:
The microcode offers a possibility to enforce TSX abort which prevents
the malfunction and frees up PMC3. The enforced TSX abort requires the
TSX using application to have a software fallback path implemented;
abort handlers which solely retry the transaction will fail over and
over.
The enforced TSX abort request is issued by the kernel when:
- enforced TSX abort is enabled (PMU attribute)
- A performance monitoring request needs PMC3
When PMC3 is not longer used by the kernel the TSX force abort request
is cleared.
The enforced TSX abort mechanism is enabled by default and can be
controlled by the administrator via the new PMU attribute
'allow_tsx_force_abort'. This attribute is only visible when updated
microcode is detected on affected systems. Writing '0' disables the
enforced TSX abort mechanism, '1' enables it.
As a result of disabling the enforced TSX abort mechanism, PMC3 is
permanentely unavailable for performance monitoring which can cause
performance monitoring requests to fail or switch to multiplexing
mode"

Skylake (and later) will receive a microcode update to address a TSX
errata. This microcode will, on execution of a TSX instruction
(speculative or not) use (clobber) PMC3. This update will also provide
a new MSR to change this behaviour along with a CPUID bit to enumerate
the presence of this new MSR.
When the MSR gets set; the microcode will no longer use PMC3 but will
Force Abort every TSX transaction (upon executing COMMIT).
When TSX Force Abort (TFA) is allowed (default); the MSR gets set when
PMC3 gets scheduled and cleared when, after scheduling, PMC3 is
unused.
When TFA is not allowed; clear PMC3 from all constraints such that it
will not get used.

The reason is that while event init code does several checks
for BTS events and prevents several unwanted config bits for
BTS event (like precise_ip), the PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD allows
to create BTS event without those checks being done.
Following sequence will cause the crash:
If we create an 'almost' BTS event with precise_ip and callchains,
and it into a BTS event it will crash the perf_prepare_sample()
function because precise_ip events are expected to come
in with callchain data initialized, but that's not the
case for intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() caller.
Adding a check_period callback to be called before the period
is changed via PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD. It will deny the change
if the event would become BTS. Plus adding also the limit_period
check as well.

KVM added a workaround for PEBS events leaking into guests with
commit:
26a4f3c08d ("perf/x86: disable PEBS on a guest entry.")
This uses the VT entry/exit list to add an extra disable of the
PEBS_ENABLE MSR.
Intel also added a fix for this issue to microcode updates on
Haswell/Broadwell/Skylake.
It turns out using the MSR entry/exit list makes VM exits
significantly slower. The list is only needed for disabling
PEBS, because the GLOBAL_CTRL change gets optimized by
KVM into changing the VMCS.
Check for the microcode updates that have the microcode
fix for leaking PEBS, and disable the extra entry/exit list
entry for PEBS_ENABLE. In addition we always clear the
GLOBAL_CTRL for the PEBS counter while running in the guest,
which is enough to make them never fire at the wrong
side of the host/guest transition.
The overhead for VM exits with the filtering active with the patch is
reduced from 8% to 4%.
The microcode patch has already been merged into future platforms.
This patch is one-off thing. The quirks is used here.
For other old platforms which doesn't have microcode patch and quirks,
extra disable of the PEBS_ENABLE MSR is still required.

intel_pmu_cpu_prepare() allocated memory for ->shared_regs among other
members of struct cpu_hw_events. This memory is released in
intel_pmu_cpu_dying() which is wrong. The counterpart of the
intel_pmu_cpu_prepare() callback is x86_pmu_dead_cpu().
Otherwise if the CPU fails on the UP path between CPUHP_PERF_X86_PREPARE
and CPUHP_AP_PERF_X86_STARTING then it won't release the memory but
allocate new memory on the next attempt to online the CPU (leaking the
old memory).
Also, if the CPU down path fails between CPUHP_AP_PERF_X86_STARTING and
CPUHP_PERF_X86_PREPARE then the CPU will go back online but never
allocate the memory that was released in x86_pmu_dying_cpu().
Make the memory allocation/free symmetrical in regard to the CPU hotplug
notifier by moving the deallocation to intel_pmu_cpu_dead().
This started in commit:
a7e3ed1e47 ("perf: Add support for supplementary event registers").
In principle the bug was introduced in v2.6.39 (!), but it will almost
certainly not backport cleanly across the big CPU hotplug rewrite between v4.7-v4.15...

Memory events depends on PEBS support and access to LDLAT MSR, but we
display them in /sys/devices/cpu/events even if the CPU does not
provide those, like for KVM guests.
That brings the false assumption that those events should be
available, while they fail event to open.
Separating the mem-* events attributes and merging them with
cpu_events only if there's PEBS support detected.
We could also check if LDLAT MSR is available, but the PEBS check
seems to cover the need now.

Implements counter freezing for Arch Perfmon v4 (Skylake and
newer). This allows to speed up the PMI handler by avoiding
unnecessary MSR writes and make it more accurate.
The Arch Perfmon v4 PMI handler is substantially different than
the older PMI handler.
Differences to the old handler:
- It relies on counter freezing, which eliminates several MSR
writes from the PMI handler and lowers the overhead significantly.
It makes the PMI handler more accurate, as all counters get
frozen atomically as soon as any counter overflows. So there is
much less counting of the PMI handler itself.
With the freezing we don't need to disable or enable counters or
PEBS. Only BTS which does not support auto-freezing still needs to
be explicitly managed.
- The PMU acking is done at the end, not the beginning.
This makes it possible to avoid manual enabling/disabling
of the PMU, instead we just rely on the freezing/acking.
- The APIC is acked before reenabling the PMU, which avoids
problems with LBRs occasionally not getting unfreezed on Skylake.
- Looping is only needed to workaround a corner case which several PMIs
are very close to each other. For common cases, the counters are freezed
during PMI handler. It doesn't need to do re-check.
This patch:
- Adds code to enable v4 counter freezing
- Fork <=v3 and >=v4 PMI handlers into separate functions.
- Add kernel parameter to disable counter freezing. It took some time to
debug counter freezing, so in case there are new problems we added an
option to turn it off. Would not expect this to be used until there
are new bugs.
- Only for big core. The patch for small core will be posted later
separately.
Performance:
When profiling a kernel build on Kabylake with different perf options,
measuring the length of all NMI handlers using the nmi handler
trace point:
V3 is without counter freezing.
V4 is with counter freezing.
The value is the average cost of the PMI handler.
(lower is better)

And where the previous unwinder only needed BP,SP ORC also requires
IP. But we cannot spoof IP because then the sample will get displaced,
entirely negating the point of PEBS.
So cure the whole thing differently by doing the unwind early; this
does however require a means to communicate we did the unwind early.
We (ab)use an unused sample_type bit for this, which we set on events
that fill out the data->callchain before the normal
perf_prepare_sample().

code unconditionally enables the feature for all platforms. It can
generate #GP exception, if the related FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit is set for
the machine with PerfMon V1.
To disable the feature for PerfMon V1, perf needs to
- Remove the freeze_on_smi sysfs entry by moving intel_pmu_attrs to
intel_pmu, which is only applied to PerfMon V2 and later.
- Check the PerfMon version before flipping the SMM bit when starting CPU

Large fixed period values could be truncated on Broadwell, for example:
perf record -e cycles -c 10000000000
Here the fixed period is 0x2540BE400, but the period which finally applied is
0x540BE400 - which is wrong.
The reason is that x86_pmu::limit_period() uses an u32 parameter, so the
high 32 bits of 'period' get truncated.
This bug was introduced in:
commit 294fe0f52a ("perf/x86/intel: Add INST_RETIRED.ALL workarounds")
It's safe to use u64 instead of u32:
- Although the 'left' is s64, the value of 'left' must be positive when
calling limit_period().
- bdw_limit_period() only modifies the lowest 6 bits, it doesn't touch
the higher 32 bits.

It can be difficult to figure out for user programs what features
the x86 CPU PMU driver actually supports. Currently it requires

This adds a caps directory to /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/,
similar to the caps already used on intel_pt, which can be used to
discover the available capabilities cleanly.
Three capabilities are defined:
- pmu_name: Underlying CPU name known to the driver
- max_precise: Max precise level supported
- branches: Known depth of LBR.
Example:

Skylake changed the encoding of the PEBS data source field.
Some combinations are not available anymore, but some new cases
e.g. for L4 cache hit are added.
Fix up the conversion table for Skylake, similar as had been done
for Nehalem.
On Skylake server the encoding for L4 actually means persistent
memory. Handle this case too.
To properly describe it in the abstracted perf format I had to add
some new fields. Since a hit can have only one level add a new
field that is an enumeration, not a bit field to describe
the level. It can describe any level. Some numbers are also
used to describe PMEM and LFB.
Also add a new generic remote flag that can be combined with
the generic level to signify a remote cache.
And there is an extension field for the snoop indication to handle
the Forward state.
I didn't add a generic flag for hops because it's not needed
for Skylake.
I changed the existing encodings for older CPUs to also fill in the
new level and remote fields.

Minor cleanup: use an explicit x86_pmu flag to handle the
missing Lock / TLB information on Nehalem, instead of always
checking the model number for each PEBS sample.

We have 2 functions using the same sched_task callback:
- PEBS drain for free running counters
- LBR save/store
Both of them are called from intel_pmu_sched_task() and
either of them can be unwillingly triggered when the
other one is configured to run.
Let's say there's PEBS drain configured in sched_task
callback for the event, but in the callback itself
(intel_pmu_sched_task()) we will also run the code for
LBR save/restore, which we did not ask for, but the
code in intel_pmu_sched_task() does not check for that.
This can lead to extra cycles in some perf monitoring,
like when we monitor PEBS event without LBR data.
# perf record --no-timestamp -c 10000 -e cycles:p ./perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000
(We need PEBS, non freq/non timestamp event to enable
the sched_task callback)
The perf stat of cycles and msr:write_msr for above
command before the change:
...
Performance counter stats for './perf record --no-timestamp -c 10000 -e cycles:p \
./perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000' (5 runs):
18,519,557,441 cycles:k
91,195,527 msr:write_msr
29.334476406 seconds time elapsed
And after the change:
...
Performance counter stats for './perf record --no-timestamp -c 10000 -e cycles:p \
./perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000' (5 runs):
18,704,973,540 cycles:k
27,184,720 msr:write_msr
16.977875900 seconds time elapsed
There's no affect on cycles:k because the sched_task happens
with events switched off, however the msr:write_msr tracepoint
counter together with almost 50% of time speedup show the
improvement.
Monitoring LBR event and having extra PEBS drain processing
in sched_task callback showed just a little speedup, because
the drain function does not do much extra work in case there
is no PEBS data.
Adding conditions to recognize the configured work that needs
to be done in the x86_pmu's sched_task callback.
