commit d98ecdaca2 ("arm64: perf: Count EL2 events if the kernel is
running in HYP") returns -EINVAL when perf system call perf_event_open is
called with exclude_hv != exclude_kernel. This change breaks applications
on VHE enabled ARMv8.1 platforms. The issue was observed with HHVM
application, which calls perf_event_open with exclude_hv = 1 and
exclude_kernel = 0.
There is no separate hypervisor privilege level when VHE is enabled, the
host kernel runs at EL2. So when VHE is enabled, we should ignore
exclude_hv from the application. This behaviour is consistent with PowerPC
where the exclude_hv is ignored when the hypervisor is not present and with
x86 where this flag is ignored.

Commit f1b36dcb5c ("arm64: pmuv3: handle !PMUv3 when probing") is
a little too restrictive, and prevents the use of of backwards
compatible PMUv3 extenstions, which have a PMUver value other than 1.
For instance, ARMv8.1 PMU extensions (as implemented by ThunderX2) are
reported with PMUver value 4.
Per the usual ID register principles, at least 0x1-0x7 imply a
PMUv3-compatible PMU. It's not currently clear whether 0x8-0xe imply the
same.
For the time being, treat the value as signed, and with 0x1-0x7 treated
as meaning PMUv3 is implemented. This may be relaxed by future patches.

When probing via ACPI, we won't know up-front whether a CPU has a PMUv3

KVM calls kvm_pmu_set_counter_event_type() when PMCCFILTR is configured.
But this function can't deals with PMCCFILTR correctly because the evtCount
bits of PMCCFILTR, which is reserved 0, conflits with the SW_INCR event
type of other PMXEVTYPER<n> registers. To fix it, when eventsel == 0, this
function shouldn't return immediately; instead it needs to check further
if select_idx is ARMV8_PMU_CYCLE_IDX.
Another issue is that KVM shouldn't copy the eventsel bits of PMCCFILTER
blindly to attr.config. Instead it ought to convert the request to the
"cpu cycle" event type (i.e. 0x11).
To support this patch and to prevent duplicated definitions, a limited
set of ARMv8 perf event types were relocated from perf_event.c to
asm/perf_event.h.

The pmuserenr_el0 register value is architecturally UNKNOWN on reset.
Current kernel code resets that register value iff the core pmu device is
correctly probed in the kernel. On platforms with missing DT pmu nodes (or
disabled perf events in the kernel), the pmu is not probed, therefore the
pmuserenr_el0 register is not reset in the kernel, which means that its
value retains the reset value that is architecturally UNKNOWN (system
may run with eg pmuserenr_el0 == 0x1, which means that PMU counters access
is available at EL0, which must be disallowed).
This patch adds code that resets pmuserenr_el0 on cold boot and restores
it on core resume from shutdown, so that the pmuserenr_el0 setup is
always enforced in the kernel.

Most of the cache events an architecture might support do not map well
to those provided by the ARM architecture, and as such most entries in
the event number maps are *_UNSUPPORTED. Unfortuantely as 0 is a valid
physical event identifier, the *_UNSUPPORTED macros expand to a non-zero
value and thus each unsupported event must be explicitly initialised as
such. This leads to large diffs when adding support for a new CPU, and
makes it difficult to spot the important information.
This patch follows arch/arm/ in making use of PERF_*_ALL_UNSUPPORTED
macros to initialise all entries to *_UNSUPPORTED before overriding this
for the specific events we actually support, resulting in a significant

The perf core implicitly rejects events spanning multiple HW PMUs, as in
these cases the event->ctx will differ. However this validation is
performed after pmu::event_init() is called in perf_init_event(), and
thus pmu::event_init() may be called with a group leader from a
different HW PMU.
The ARM64 PMU driver does not take this fact into account, and when
validating groups assumes that it can call to_arm_pmu(event->pmu) for
any HW event. When the event in question is from another HW PMU this is
wrong, and results in dereferencing garbage.
This patch updates the ARM64 PMU driver to first test for and reject
events from other PMUs, moving the to_arm_pmu and related logic after
this test. Fixes a crash triggered by perf_fuzzer on Linux-4.0-rc2, with

If the overflow threshold for a counter is set above or near the
0xffffffff boundary then the kernel may lose track of the overflow
causing only events that occur *after* the overflow to be recorded.
Specifically the problem occurs when the value of the performance counter
overtakes its original programmed value due to wrap around.
Typical solutions to this problem are either to avoid programming in
values likely to be overtaken or to treat the overflow bit as the 33rd
bit of the counter.
Its somewhat fiddly to refactor the code to correctly handle the 33rd bit
during irqsave sections (context switches for example) so instead we take
the simpler approach of avoiding values likely to be overtaken.
We set the limit to half of max_period because this matches the limit
imposed in __hw_perf_event_init(). This causes a doubling of the interrupt
rate for large threshold values, however even with a very fast counter
ticking at 4GHz the interrupt rate would only be ~1Hz.

Recent arm64 builds using CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES are failing with:
arch/arm64/kernel/perf_regs.c: In function ‘perf_reg_abi’:
arch/arm64/kernel/perf_regs.c:41:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘is_compat_thread’
arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c:1398:2: error: unknown type name ‘compat_uptr_t’
This is due to some recent arm64 perf commits with compat support:
commit 23c7d70d55:
ARM64: perf: add support for frame pointer unwinding in compat mode
commit 2ee0d7fd36:
ARM64: perf: add support for perf registers API
Those patches make the arm64 kernel unbuildable if CONFIG_COMPAT is not
defined and CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES depends on !CONFIG_COMPAT. This patch
allows the arm64 kernel to build with and without CONFIG_COMPAT.

When profiling a 32-bit application, user space callchain unwinding
using the frame pointer is performed in compat mode. The code is taken
over from the AARCH32 code and adapted to work on AARCH64.
