3bf7b07ece perf/POWER7: Create a sysfs format entry for Power7 events
Create a sysfs entry, '/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event'
which describes the format of the POWER7 PMU events.

This code is based on corresponding code in x86.

Changelog[v4]:  [Michael Ellerman, Paul Mckerras] The event format is different
		for other POWER cpus. So move the code to POWER7-specific,
		power7-pmu.c Also, the POWER7 format uses bits 0-19 not 0-20.

Changelog[v2]: [Jiri Osla] Use PMU_FORMAT_ATTR rather than duplicating code.

Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "So from the depth of frozen Minnesota, here's the powerpc pull request
  for 3.9.  It has a few interesting highlights, in addition to the
  usual bunch of bug fixes, minor updates, embedded device tree updates
  and new boards:

   - Hand tuned asm implementation of SHA1 (by Paulus & Michael
     Ellerman)

   - Support for Doorbell interrupts on Power8 (kind of fast
     thread-thread IPIs) by Ian Munsie

   - Long overdue cleanup of the way we handle relocation of our open

   - Support for saving/restoring & context switching the PPR (Processor
     Priority Register) on server processors that support it.  This
     allows the kernel to preserve thread priorities established by
     userspace.  By Haren Myneni.

   - DAWR (new watchpoint facility) support on Power8 by Michael Neuling

   - Ability to change the DSCR (Data Stream Control Register) which
     controls cache prefetching on a running process via ptrace by
     Alexey Kardashevskiy

   - Support for context switching the TAR register on Power8 (new
     branch target register meant to be used by some new specific
     userspace perf event interrupt facility which is yet to be enabled)
     by Ian Munsie.

   - Improve preservation of the CFAR register (which captures the
     origin of a branch) on various exception conditions by Paulus.

   - Move the Bestcomm DMA driver from arch powerpc to drivers/dma where
     it belongs by Philippe De Muyter

   - Support for Transactional Memory on Power8 by Michael Neuling
     (based on original work by Matt Evans).  For those curious about
     the feature, the patch contains a pretty good description."

f53d168c02 perf/Power: PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE does not reenable event
perf/Power: PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE does not reenable event

If we disable a perf event because we exceeded the specified ->event_limit,
power_pmu_stop() sets the PERF_HES_STOPPED flag on the event.

If the application then re-enables the event using PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE
ioctl, we don't ever clear this STOPPED flag. Consequently, the user space
is never notified of the event.

Following message has more background and test case.

Used the following test cases to verify that this patch works on latest PAPI.

e13e895f84 powerpc/perf: Fix for PMCs not making progress
On POWER7 when we have really small counts left before overflow, we can take a
PMU IRQ, but the PMC gets wound back to just before the overflow.

If the kernel is setting the PMC to a value just before the overflow, we can
get interrupted again without the PMC making any progress (ie another buggy
overflow).  In this case, we can end up making no forward progress, with the
PMC interrupt returning us to the same count over and over.

The below detects when we are making no forward progress (ie. delta = 0) and
then increases the amount left before the overflow.  This stops us from locking
up.

bc09c219b2 powerpc/perf: Fix finding overflowed PMC in interrupt
If a PMC is about to overflow on a counter that's on an active perf event
(ie. less than 256 from the end) and a _different_ PMC overflows just at this
time (a PMC that's not on an active perf event), we currently mark the event as
found, but in reality it's not as it's likely the other PMC that caused the
IRQ.  Since we mark it as found the second catch all for overflows doesn't run,
and we don't reset the overflowing PMC ever.  Hence we keep hitting that same
PMC IRQ over and over and don't reset the actual overflowing counter.

This is a rewrite of the perf interrupt handler for book3s to get around this.
We now check to see if any of the PMCs have actually overflowed (ie >=
0x80000000).  If yes, record it for active counters and just reset it for
inactive counters.  If it's not overflowed, then we check to see if it's one of
the buggy power7 counters and if it is, record it and continue.  If none of the
PMCs match this, then we make note that we couldn't find the PMC that caused
the IRQ.

powerpc/perf: Sample only if SIAR-Valid bit is set in P7+

On POWER7+ two new bits (mmcra[35] and mmcra[36]) indicate whether the
contents of SIAR and SDAR are valid.

For marked instructions on P7+, we must save the contents of SIAR and
SDAR registers only if these new bits are set.

This code/check for the SIAR-Valid bit is specific to P7+, so rather than
waste a CPU-feature bit use the PVR flag.

Note that Carl Love proposed a similar change for oprofile:

on PVR_foo for our PVR #defines. Currently we use PVR_ on 32-bit and PV_
on 64-bit.

So do that rename and remove the FIXME.

Seeing as we're touching all but one usage of __is_processor(), rename it
to something less ugly and more indicative of what it does, which is
simply to check the PVR version.

813312110b powerpc/perf: Use pmc_overflow() to detect rolled back events
For certain speculative events on Power7, 'perf stat' reports far higher
event count than 'perf record' for the same event.

As described in following commit, a performance monitor exception is raised
even when the the performance events are rolled back.

        commit 0837e3242c
        Author: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
        Date:   Wed Mar 9 14:38:42 2011 +1100

perf_event_interrupt() records an event only when an overflow occurs. But
this check for overflow is a simple 'if (val < 0)'.

Because the events are rolled back, this check for overflow fails and the
event is not recorded. perf_event_interrupt() later uses pmc_overflow() to
detect the overflow and resets the counters and the events are lost completely.

To properly detect the overflow of rolled back events, use pmc_overflow()
even when recording events.

To reproduce:
        $ cat strcpy.c
        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <string.h>
        main()
        {
                char buf[256];

                alarm(5);
                while(1)
                        strcpy(buf, "string1");
        }

        $ perf record -e r20014 ./strcpy
        $ perf report -n > report.1
        $ perf stat -e r20014 > report.2
        # Compare report.1 and report.2

5c093efa6f powerpc/perf: Always use pt_regs for userspace samples
At the moment we always use the SIAR if the PMU supports continuous
sampling. Unfortunately the SIAR and the PMU exception are not
synchronised for non marked events so we can end up with callchains
that dont make sense.

The following patch checks the HV and PR bits for samples coming from
userspace and always uses pt_regs for them. Userspace will never have
interrupts off so there is no real advantage to using the SIAR for
non marked events in userspace.

I had experimented with a patch that did a similar thing for kernel
samples but we lost a significant amount of information. I was
unable to profile any of our early exception code for example.

fd0d000b2c perf: Pass last sampling period to perf_sample_data_init()
We always need to pass the last sample period to
perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be
wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period
as argument. So basically a pattern like this:

        perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL);
        data.period = event->hw.last_period;

will now be like that:

        perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period);

Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

1ce447b90f powerpc/perf: Fix instruction address sampling on 970 and Power4
970 and Power4 don't support "continuous sampling" which means that
when we aren't in marked instruction sampling mode (marked events),
SIAR isn't updated with the last instruction sampled before the
perf interrupt. On those processors, we must thus use the exception
SRR0 value as the sampled instruction pointer.

Those processors also don't support the SIPR and SIHV bits in MMCRA
which means we need some kind of heuristic to decide if SIAR values
represent kernel or user addresses.

5375871d43 Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull powerpc merge from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window.  It is going to be a
  bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of
  arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got
  rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to
  maintain and that nobody really used anymore.

  Here are some of the highlights:

   - Legacy iSeries is gone.  Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits
     and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but
     they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks
     hopefully.

   - The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the
     previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"...  it's a rewrite of a
     mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the
     new implementation hopefully being much more reliable.  Thanks
     Mahesh Salgaonkar.

   - The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling & recovery) got a big
     spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a
     new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare.

     The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is
     there.  Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is
     not very nice and which Grant objects to.  I will have a patch soon
     that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully
     before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully
     getting rid of the need for that pointer completely).  Thanks Gavin
     Shan.

   - I dug into our exception & interrupt handling code to improve the
     way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with
     "edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found & fixed
     a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page
     fault retry & fatal signals on page faults.

   - Your usual random batch of small fixes & updates, including a bunch
     of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..."

I fixed up some conflicts with the generalized irq-domain changes from
Grant Likely, hopefully correctly.

f2699491e0 powerpc/perf: Move perf core & PMU code into a subdirectory
The perf code has grown a lot since it started, and is big enough to
warrant its own subdirectory. For reference it's ~60% bigger than the
oprofile code. It declutters the kernel directory, makes it simpler to
grep for "just perf stuff", and allows us to shorten some filenames.

While we're at it, make it more obvious that we have two implementations
of the core perf logic. One for (roughly) Book3S CPUs, which was the
original implementation, and the other for Freescale embedded CPUs.
