The free-running counters for IIO uncore blocks on Diamond Rapids are similar to Sapphire Rapids IMC freecounters, with the following differences: - The counters are MMIO based. - Only a subset of IP blocks implement free-running counters: HIOP0 (IP Base Addr: 2E7000h) HIOP1 (IP Base Addr: 2EF000h) HIOP3 (IP Base Addr: 2FF000h) HIOP4 (IP Base Addr: 307000h) - IMH2 (Secondary IMH) does not provide free-running counters.

2026-01-06perf/x86/intel/uncore: Add freerunning event descriptor helper macroZide Chen1-67/+28
Freerunning counter events are repetitive: the event code is fixed to 0xff, the unit is always "MiB", and the scale is identical across all counters on a given PMON unit. Introduce a new helper macro, INTEL_UNCORE_FR_EVENT_DESC(), to populate the event, scale, and unit descriptor triplet. This reduces duplicated lines and improves readability.

2025-12-17unwind_user/fp: Use dummies instead of ifdefJens Remus3-6/+17
This simplifies the code. unwind_user_next_fp() does not need to return -EINVAL if config option HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP is disabled, as unwind_user_start() will then not select this unwind method and unwind_user_next() will therefore not call it. Provide (1) a dummy definition of ARCH_INIT_USER_FP_FRAME, if the unwind user method HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP is not enabled, (2) a common fallback definition of unwind_user_at_function_start() which returns false, and (3) a common dummy definition of ARCH_INIT_USER_FP_ENTRY_FRAME. Note that enabling the config option HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP without defining ARCH_INIT_USER_FP_FRAME triggers a compile error, which is helpful when implementing support for this unwind user method in an architecture. Enabling the config option when providing an arch- specific unwind_user_at_function_start() definition makes it necessary to also provide an arch-specific ARCH_INIT_USER_FP_ENTRY_FRAME definition.

2025-12-17perf/x86/core: Register a new vector for handling mediated guest PMIsSean Christopherson10-4/+55
Wire up system vector 0xf5 for handling PMIs (i.e. interrupts delivered through the LVTPC) while running KVM guests with a mediated PMU. Perf currently delivers all PMIs as NMIs, e.g. so that events that trigger while IRQs are disabled aren't delayed and generate useless records, but due to the multiplexing of NMIs throughout the system, correctly identifying NMIs for a mediated PMU is practically infeasible. To (greatly) simplify identifying guest mediated PMU PMIs, perf will switch the CPU's LVTPC between PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMI_VECTOR and NMI when guest PMU context is loaded/put. I.e. PMIs that are generated by the CPU while the guest is active will be identified purely based on the IRQ vector. Route the vector through perf, e.g. as opposed to letting KVM attach a handler directly a la posted interrupt notification vectors, as perf owns the LVTPC and thus is the rightful owner of PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMI_VECTOR. Functionally, having KVM directly own the vector would be fine (both KVM and perf will be completely aware of when a mediated PMU is active), but would lead to an undesirable split in ownership: perf would be responsible for installing the vector, but not handling the resulting IRQs. Add a new perf_guest_info_callbacks hook (and static call) to allow KVM to register its handler with perf when running guests with mediated PMUs. Note, because KVM always runs guests with host IRQs enabled, there is no danger of a PMI being delayed from the guest's perspective due to using a regular IRQ instead of an NMI.

2025-12-17perf: Add a EVENT_GUEST flagKan Liang2-51/+185
Current perf doesn't explicitly schedule out all exclude_guest events while the guest is running. There is no problem with the current emulated vPMU. Because perf owns all the PMU counters. It can mask the counter which is assigned to an exclude_guest event when a guest is running (Intel way), or set the corresponding HOSTONLY bit in evsentsel (AMD way). The counter doesn't count when a guest is running. However, either way doesn't work with the introduced mediated vPMU. A guest owns all the PMU counters when it's running. The host should not mask any counters. The counter may be used by the guest. The evsentsel may be overwritten. Perf should explicitly schedule out all exclude_guest events to release the PMU resources when entering a guest, and resume the counting when exiting the guest. It's possible that an exclude_guest event is created when a guest is running. The new event should not be scheduled in as well. The ctx time is shared among different PMUs. The time cannot be stopped when a guest is running. It is required to calculate the time for events from other PMUs, e.g., uncore events. Add timeguest to track the guest run time. For an exclude_guest event, the elapsed time equals the ctx time - guest time. Cgroup has dedicated times. Use the same method to deduct the guest time from the cgroup time as well.

2025-12-17perf: Add APIs to create/release mediated guest vPMUsKan Liang4-0/+93
Currently, exposing PMU capabilities to a KVM guest is done by emulating guest PMCs via host perf events, i.e. by having KVM be "just" another user of perf. As a result, the guest and host are effectively competing for resources, and emulating guest accesses to vPMU resources requires expensive actions (expensive relative to the native instruction). The overhead and resource competition results in degraded guest performance and ultimately very poor vPMU accuracy. To address the issues with the perf-emulated vPMU, introduce a "mediated vPMU", where the data plane (PMCs and enable/disable knobs) is exposed directly to the guest, but the control plane (event selectors and access to fixed counters) is managed by KVM (via MSR interceptions). To allow host perf usage of the PMU to (partially) co-exist with KVM/guest usage of the PMU, KVM and perf will coordinate to a world switch between host perf context and guest vPMU context near VM-Enter/VM-Exit. Add two exported APIs, perf_{create,release}_mediated_pmu(), to allow KVM to create and release a mediated PMU instance (per VM). Because host perf context will be deactivated while the guest is running, mediated PMU usage will be mutually exclusive with perf analysis of the guest, i.e. perf events that do NOT exclude the guest will not behave as expected. To avoid silent failure of !exclude_guest perf events, disallow creating a mediated PMU if there are active !exclude_guest events, and on the perf side, disallowing creating new !exclude_guest perf events while there is at least one active mediated PMU. Exempt PMU resources that do not support mediated PMU usage, i.e. that are outside the scope/view of KVM's vPMU and will not be swapped out while the guest is running. Guard mediated PMU with a new kconfig to help readers identify code paths that are unique to mediated PMU support, and to allow for adding arch- specific hooks without stubs. KVM x86 is expected to be the only KVM architecture to support a mediated PMU in the near future (e.g. arm64 is trending toward a partitioned PMU implementation), and KVM x86 will select PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMU unconditionally, i.e. won't need stubs. Immediately select PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMU when KVM x86 is enabled so that all paths are compile tested. Full KVM support is on its way...

2025-12-17perf: Move security_perf_event_free() call to __free_event()Sean Christopherson1-2/+2
Move the freeing of any security state associated with a perf event from _free_event() to __free_event(), i.e. invoke security_perf_event_free() in the error paths for perf_event_alloc(). This will allow adding potential error paths in perf_event_alloc() that can occur after allocating security state. Note, kfree() and thus security_perf_event_free() is a nop if event->security is NULL, i.e. calling security_perf_event_free() even if security_perf_event_alloc() fails or is never reached is functionality ok.

2025-12-17perf: Add generic exclude_guest supportKan Liang1-7/+8
Only KVM knows the exact time when a guest is entering/exiting. Expose two interfaces to KVM to switch the ownership of the PMU resources. All the pinned events must be scheduled in first. Extend the perf_event_sched_in() helper to support extra flag, e.g., EVENT_GUEST.

2025-12-17perf: Skip pmu_ctx based on event_typeKan Liang1-34/+40
To optimize the cgroup context switch, the perf_event_pmu_context iteration skips the PMUs without cgroup events. A bool cgroup was introduced to indicate the case. It can work, but this way is hard to extend for other cases, e.g. skipping non-mediated PMUs. It doesn't make sense to keep adding bool variables. Pass the event_type instead of the specific bool variable. Check both the event_type and related pmu_ctx variables to decide whether skipping a PMU. Event flags, e.g., EVENT_CGROUP, should be cleard in the ctx->is_active. Add EVENT_FLAGS to indicate such event flags. No functional change.
