Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM64:
- Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
dirtied by something other than a vcpu.
- Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.
- Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge
commit 382b5b87a97d: "Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as
races on the tags being initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as
well as the lack of support for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved.
Patches from Catalin Marinas and Peter Collingbourne").
- Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the
hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state
private.
- Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
actually exist out there.
- Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB
pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB
pages.
- Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
good merge window would be complete without those.
s390:
- Second batch of the lazy destroy patches
- First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address
support
- Removal of a unused function
x86:
- Allow compiling out SMM support
- Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format
- Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area
- Respond to generic signals during slow page faults
- Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata
fix.
- Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change
- Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests
- Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2
guest running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)
- Advertise several new Intel features
- x86 Xen-for-KVM:
- Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary
- Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured
- Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll
- Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:
- One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).
- Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped
a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when
switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.
- Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that
params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.
- Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL
irrespective of the current guest CPUID.
- Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM
incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a
CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC
frequency.
- Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported
- Remove unnecessary exports
Generic:
- Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks
Selftests:
- Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
running on bare metal.
- Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what
is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.
- Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests
- Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.
- Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress".
- Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize
the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the memstress
tests.
- Add a common ucall implementation; code dedup and pre-work for
running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests.
- Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually
be used by x86 to automatically select the right hypercall (AMD vs.
Intel).
- A bunch of added/enabled/fixed selftests for ARM64, covering
memslots, breakpoints, stage-2 faults and access tracking.
- x86-specific selftest changes:
- Clean up x86's page table management.
- Clean up and enhance the "smaller maxphyaddr" test, and add a
related test to cover generic emulation failure.
- Clean up the nEPT support checks.
- Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve multi-bit CPUID values.
- Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent
conversions to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard
against similar bugs in the future. Anything that tiggers
caching of KVM's supported CPUID, kvm_cpu_has() in this case,
effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if the caching occurs
before the test opts in via prctl().
Documentation:
- Remove deleted ioctls from documentation
- Clean up the docs for the x86 MSR filter.
- Various fixes"

Drop the return value from x86_perf_get_lbr() and have the stub zero out
the @lbr structure instead of returning -1 to indicate "no LBR support".
KVM doesn't actually check the return value, and instead subtly relies on
zeroing the number of LBRs in intel_pmu_init().
Formalize "nr=0 means unsupported" so that KVM doesn't need to add a
pointless check on the return value to fix KVM's benign bug.
Note, the stub is necessary even though KVM x86 selects PERF_EVENTS and
the caller exists only when CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=y. Despite the name,
KVM_INTEL doesn't strictly require CPU_SUP_INTEL, it can be built with
any of INTEL || CENTAUR || ZHAOXIN CPUs.

There have been various issues and limitations with the way perf uses
(task) contexts to track events. Most notable is the single hardware
PMU task context, which has resulted in a number of yucky things (both
proposed and merged).
Notably:
- HW breakpoint PMU
- ARM big.little PMU / Intel ADL PMU
- Intel Branch Monitoring PMU
- AMD IBS PMU
- S390 cpum_cf PMU
- PowerPC trace_imc PMU
*Current design:*
Currently we have a per task and per cpu perf_event_contexts:
task_struct::perf_events_ctxp[] <-> perf_event_context <-> perf_cpu_context
^ | ^ | ^
`---------------------------------' | `--> pmu ---'
v ^
perf_event ------'
Each task has an array of pointers to a perf_event_context. Each
perf_event_context has a direct relation to a PMU and a group of
events for that PMU. The task related perf_event_context's have a
pointer back to that task.
Each PMU has a per-cpu pointer to a per-cpu perf_cpu_context, which
includes a perf_event_context, which again has a direct relation to
that PMU, and a group of events for that PMU.
The perf_cpu_context also tracks which task context is currently
associated with that CPU and includes a few other things like the
hrtimer for rotation etc.
Each perf_event is then associated with its PMU and one
perf_event_context.
*Proposed design:*
New design proposed by this patch reduce to a single task context and
a single CPU context but adds some intermediate data-structures:
task_struct::perf_event_ctxp -> perf_event_context <- perf_cpu_context
^ | ^ ^
`---------------------------' | |
| | perf_cpu_pmu_context <--.
| `----. ^ |
| | | |
| v v |
| ,--> perf_event_pmu_context |
| | |
| | |
v v |
perf_event ---> pmu ----------------'
With the new design, perf_event_context will hold all events for all
pmus in the (respective pinned/flexible) rbtrees. This can be achieved
by adding pmu to rbtree key:
{cpu, pmu, cgroup, group_index}
Each perf_event_context carries a list of perf_event_pmu_context which
is used to hold per-pmu-per-context state. For example, it keeps track
of currently active events for that pmu, a pmu specific task_ctx_data,
a flag to tell whether rotation is required or not etc.
Additionally, perf_cpu_pmu_context is used to hold per-pmu-per-cpu
state like hrtimer details to drive the event rotation, a pointer to
perf_event_pmu_context of currently running task and some other
ancillary information.
Each perf_event is associated to it's pmu, perf_event_context and
perf_event_pmu_context.
Further optimizations to current implementation are possible. For
example, ctx_resched() can be optimized to reschedule only single pmu
events.
Much thanks to Ravi for picking this up and pushing it towards
completion.

clear_cpu_cap(&boot_cpu_data) is very similar to setup_clear_cpu_cap()
except that the latter also sets a bit in 'cpu_caps_cleared' which
later clears the same cap in secondary cpus, which is likely what is
meant here.

branch filter and adds an x86 branch classifier.
Move the branch classifier to arch/x86/events/ so that it can be utilized
by other vendors for branch record filtering.

On the platform with Arch LBR, the HW raw branch type encoding may leak
to the perf tool when the SAVE_TYPE option is not set.
In the intel_pmu_store_lbr(), the HW raw branch type is stored in
lbr_entries[].type. If the SAVE_TYPE option is set, the
lbr_entries[].type will be converted into the generic PERF_BR_* type
in the intel_pmu_lbr_filter() and exposed to the user tools.
But if the SAVE_TYPE option is NOT set by the user, the current perf
kernel doesn't clear the field. The HW raw branch type leaks.
There are two solutions to fix the issue for the Arch LBR.
One is to clear the field if the SAVE_TYPE option is NOT set.
The other solution is to unconditionally convert the branch type and
expose the generic type to the user tools.
The latter is implemented here, because
- The branch type is valuable information. I don't see a case where
you would not benefit from the branch type. (Stephane Eranian)
- Not having the branch type DOES NOT save any space in the
branch record (Stephane Eranian)
- The Arch LBR HW can retrieve the common branch types from the
LBR_INFO. It doesn't require the high overhead SW disassemble.

On a machine with the LBR format LBR_FORMAT_EIP_FLAGS2, when the TSX is
disabled, a TSX quirk is required to access LBR from registers.
The lbr_from_signext_quirk_needed() is introduced to determine whether
the TSX quirk should be applied. However, the
lbr_from_signext_quirk_needed() is invoked before the
intel_pmu_lbr_init(), which parses the LBR format information. Without
the correct LBR format information, the TSX quirk never be applied.
Move the lbr_from_signext_quirk_needed() into the intel_pmu_lbr_init().
Checking x86_pmu.lbr_has_tsx in the lbr_from_signext_quirk_needed() is

Both LBR_FORMAT_EIP_FLAGS2 and LBR_FORMAT_INFO have LBR_TSX flag, but

This expands generic branch type classification by adding two more entries
there in i.e irq and exception return. Also updates the x86 implementation
to process X86_BR_IRET and X86_BR_IRQ records as appropriate. This changes

The Goldmont plus and Tremont have LBR format V7. The V7 has LBR_INFO,
which is the same as LBR format V5. But V7 doesn't support TSX.
Without the patch, the associated misprediction and cycles information
in the LBR_INFO may be lost on a Goldmont plus platform.
For Tremont, the patch only impacts the non-PEBS events. Because of the
adaptive PEBS, the LBR_INFO is always processed for a PEBS event.
Currently, two different ways are used to check the LBR capabilities,
which make the codes complex and confusing.
For the LBR format V4 and earlier, the global static lbr_desc array is
used to store the flags for the LBR capabilities in each LBR format.
For LBR format V5 and V6, the current code checks the version number
for the LBR capabilities.
There are common LBR capabilities among LBR format versions. Several
flags for the LBR capabilities are introduced into the struct x86_pmu.
The flags, which can be shared among LBR formats, are used to check
the LBR capabilities. Add intel_pmu_lbr_init() to set the flags
accordingly at boot time.

The typical way to access branch record (e.g. Intel LBR) is via hardware
perf_event. For CPUs with FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI support, PMI could capture
reliable LBR. On the other hand, LBR could also be useful in non-PMI
scenario. For example, in kretprobe or bpf fexit program, LBR could
provide a lot of information on what happened with the function. Add API
to use branch record for software use.
Note that, when the software event triggers, it is necessary to stop the
branch record hardware asap. Therefore, static_call is used to remove some
branch instructions in this process.

Pull x86 fpu updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Fixes and improvements for FPU handling on x86:
- Prevent sigaltstack out of bounds writes.
The kernel unconditionally writes the FPU state to the alternate
stack without checking whether the stack is large enough to
accomodate it.
Check the alternate stack size before doing so and in case it's too
small force a SIGSEGV instead of silently corrupting user space
data.
- MINSIGSTKZ and SIGSTKSZ are constants in signal.h and have never
been updated despite the fact that the FPU state which is stored on
the signal stack has grown over time which causes trouble in the
field when AVX512 is available on a CPU. The kernel does not expose
the minimum requirements for the alternate stack size depending on
the available and enabled CPU features.
ARM already added an aux vector AT_MINSIGSTKSZ for the same reason.
Add it to x86 as well.
- A major cleanup of the x86 FPU code. The recent discoveries of
XSTATE related issues unearthed quite some inconsistencies,
duplicated code and other issues.
The fine granular overhaul addresses this, makes the code more
robust and maintainable, which allows to integrate upcoming XSTATE

XRSTORS requires a valid xstate buffer to work correctly. XSAVES does not
guarantee to write a fully valid buffer according to the SDM:
"XSAVES does not write to any parts of the XSAVE header other than the
XSTATE_BV and XCOMP_BV fields."
XRSTORS triggers a #GP:
"If bytes 63:16 of the XSAVE header are not all zero."
It's dubious at best how this can work at all when the buffer is not zeroed
before use.
Allocate the buffers with __GFP_ZERO to prevent XRSTORS failure.

The copy functions for the independent features are horribly named and the
supervisor and independent part is just overengineered.
The point is that the supplied mask has either to be a subset of the
independent features or a subset of the task->fpu.xstate managed features.
Rewrite it so it checks for invalid overlaps of these areas in the caller
supplied feature mask. Rename it so it follows the new naming convention
for these operations. Mop up the function documentation.
This allows to use that function for other purposes as well.

irrelevant and will become quite confusing when user math XSTATEs start

Pull perf event updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Improve Intel uncore PMU support:
- Parse uncore 'discovery tables' - a new hardware capability
enumeration method introduced on the latest Intel platforms. This
table is in a well-defined PCI namespace location and is read via
MMIO. It is organized in an rbtree.
These uncore tables will allow the discovery of standard counter
blocks, but fancier counters still need to be enumerated
explicitly.
- Add Alder Lake support
- Improve IIO stacks to PMON mapping support on Skylake servers
- Add Intel Alder Lake PMU support - which requires the introduction of
'hybrid' CPUs and PMUs. Alder Lake is a mix of Golden Cove ('big')
and Gracemont ('small' - Atom derived) cores.
The CPU-side feature set is entirely symmetrical - but on the PMU
side there's core type dependent PMU functionality.
- Reduce data loss with CPU level hardware tracing on Intel PT / AUX
profiling, by fixing the AUX allocation watermark logic.
- Improve ring buffer allocation on NUMA systems
- Put 'struct perf_event' into their separate kmem_cache pool
- Add support for synchronous signals for select perf events. The
immediate motivation is to support low-overhead sampling-based race
detection for user-space code. The feature consists of the following
main changes:
- Add thread-only event inheritance via
perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, which limits inheritance of
events to CLONE_THREAD.
- Add the ability for events to not leak through exec(), via
perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec.
- Allow the generation of SIGTRAP via perf_event_attr::sigtrap,
extend siginfo with an u64 ::si_perf, and add the breakpoint
information to ::si_addr and ::si_perf if the event is
PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT.
The siginfo support is adequate for breakpoints right now - but the
new field can be used to introduce support for other types of
metadata passed over siginfo as well.
- Misc fixes, cleanups and smaller updates.

Some platforms, e.g. Alder Lake, have hybrid architecture. In the same
package, there may be more than one type of CPU. The PMU capabilities
are different among different types of CPU. Perf will register a
dedicated PMU for each type of CPU.
Add a 'pmu' variable in the struct cpu_hw_events to track the dedicated
PMU of the current CPU.
Current x86_get_pmu() use the global 'pmu', which will be broken on a
hybrid platform. Modify it to apply the 'pmu' of the specific CPU.
Initialize the per-CPU 'pmu' variable with the global 'pmu'. There is
nothing changed for the non-hybrid platforms.
The is_x86_event() will be updated in the later patch ("perf/x86:
Register hybrid PMUs") for hybrid platforms. For the non-hybrid
platforms, nothing is changed here.

Reading LBR registers in a perf NMI handler for a non-PEBS event
causes a high overhead because the number of LBR registers is huge.
To reduce the overhead, the XSAVES instruction should be used to replace
the LBR registers' reading method.
The XSAVES buffer used for LBR read has to be per-CPU because the NMI
handler invoked the lbr_read(). The existing task_ctx_data buffer
cannot be used which is per-task and only be allocated for the LBR call
stack mode. A new lbr_xsave pointer is introduced in the cpu_hw_events
as an XSAVES buffer for LBR read.
The XSAVES buffer should be allocated only when LBR is used by a
non-PEBS event on the CPU because the total size of the lbr_xsave is
not small (~1.4KB).
The XSAVES buffer is allocated when a non-PEBS event is added, but it
is lazily released in x86_release_hardware() when perf releases the
entire PMU hardware resource, because perf may frequently schedule the
event, e.g. high context switch. The lazy release method reduces the
overhead of frequently allocate/free the buffer.
If the lbr_xsave fails to be allocated, roll back to normal Arch LBR
lbr_read().

In the LBR call stack mode, LBR information is used to reconstruct a
call stack. To get the complete call stack, perf has to save/restore
all LBR registers during a context switch. Due to a large number of the
LBR registers, this process causes a high CPU overhead. To reduce the
CPU overhead during a context switch, use the XSAVES/XRSTORS
instructions.
Every XSAVE area must follow a canonical format: the legacy region, an
XSAVE header and the extended region. Although the LBR information is
only kept in the extended region, a space for the legacy region and
XSAVE header is still required. Add a new dedicated structure for LBR
XSAVES support.
Before enabling XSAVES support, the size of the LBR state has to be
sanity checked, because:
- the size of the software structure is calculated from the max number
of the LBR depth, which is enumerated by the CPUID leaf for Arch LBR.
The size of the LBR state is enumerated by the CPUID leaf for XSAVE
support of Arch LBR. If the values from the two CPUID leaves are not
consistent, it may trigger a buffer overflow. For example, a hypervisor
may unconsciously set inconsistent values for the two emulated CPUID.
- unlike other state components, the size of an LBR state depends on the
max number of LBRs, which may vary from generation to generation.
Expose the function xfeature_size() for the sanity check.
The LBR XSAVES support will be disabled if the size of the LBR state
enumerated by CPUID doesn't match with the size of the software
structure.
The XSAVE instruction requires 64-byte alignment for state buffers. A
new macro is added to reflect the alignment requirement. A 64-byte
aligned kmem_cache is created for architecture LBR.
Currently, the structure for each state component is maintained in
fpu/types.h. The structure for the new LBR state component should be
maintained in the same place. Move structure lbr_entry to fpu/types.h as
well for broader sharing.
Add dedicated lbr_save/lbr_restore functions for LBR XSAVES support,
which invokes the corresponding xstate helpers to XSAVES/XRSTORS LBR
information at the context switch when the call stack mode is enabled.
Since the XSAVES/XRSTORS instructions will be eventually invoked, the
dedicated functions is named with '_xsaves'/'_xrstors' postfix.

Last Branch Records (LBR) enables recording of software path history by
logging taken branches and other control flows within architectural
registers now. Intel CPUs have had model-specific LBR for quite some
time, but this evolves them into an architectural feature now.
The main improvements of Architectural LBR implemented includes:
- Linux kernel can support the LBR features without knowing the model
number of the current CPU.
- Architectural LBR capabilities can be enumerated by CPUID. The
lbr_ctl_map is based on the CPUID Enumeration.
- The possible LBR depth can be retrieved from CPUID enumeration. The
max value is written to the new MSR_ARCH_LBR_DEPTH as the number of
LBR entries.
- A new IA32_LBR_CTL MSR is introduced to enable and configure LBRs,
which replaces the IA32_DEBUGCTL[bit 0] and the LBR_SELECT MSR.
- Each LBR record or entry is still comprised of three MSRs,
IA32_LBR_x_FROM_IP, IA32_LBR_x_TO_IP and IA32_LBR_x_TO_IP.
But they become the architectural MSRs.
- Architectural LBR is stack-like now. Entry 0 is always the youngest
branch, entry 1 the next youngest... The TOS MSR has been removed.
The way to enable/disable Architectural LBR is similar to the previous
model-specific LBR. __intel_pmu_lbr_enable/disable() can be reused, but
some modifications are required, which include:
- MSR_ARCH_LBR_CTL is used to enable and configure the Architectural
LBR.
- When checking the value of the IA32_DEBUGCTL MSR, ignoring the
DEBUGCTLMSR_LBR (bit 0) for Architectural LBR, which has no meaning
and always return 0.
- The FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI has to be explicitly set/clear, because
MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR is not touched in __intel_pmu_lbr_disable() for
Architectural LBR.
- Only MSR_ARCH_LBR_CTL is cleared in __intel_pmu_lbr_disable() for
Architectural LBR.
Some Architectural LBR dedicated functions are implemented to
reset/read/save/restore LBR.
- For reset, writing to the ARCH_LBR_DEPTH MSR clears all Arch LBR
entries, which is a lot faster and can improve the context switch
latency.
- For read, the branch type information can be retrieved from
the MSR_ARCH_LBR_INFO_*. But it's not fully compatible due to
OTHER_BRANCH type. The software decoding is still required for the
OTHER_BRANCH case.
LBR records are stored in the age order as well. Reuse
intel_pmu_store_lbr(). Check the CPUID enumeration before accessing
the corresponding bits in LBR_INFO.
- For save/restore, applying the fast reset (writing ARCH_LBR_DEPTH).
Reading 'lbr_from' of entry 0 instead of the TOS MSR to check if the
LBR registers are reset in the deep C-state. If 'the deep C-state
reset' bit is not set in CPUID enumeration, ignoring the check.
XSAVE support for Architectural LBR will be implemented later.
The number of LBR entries cannot be hardcoded anymore, which should be
retrieved from CPUID enumeration. A new structure
x86_perf_task_context_arch_lbr is introduced for Architectural LBR.

The way to store the LBR information from a PEBS LBR record can be
reused in Architecture LBR, because
- The LBR information is stored like a stack. Entry 0 is always the
youngest branch.
- The layout of the LBR INFO MSR is similar.
The LBR information may be retrieved from either the LBR registers
(non-PEBS event) or a buffer (PEBS event). Extend rdlbr_*() to support
both methods.
Explicitly check the invalid entry (0s), which can avoid unnecessary MSR
access if using a non-PEBS event. For a PEBS event, the check should
slightly improve the performance as well. The invalid entries are cut.
The intel_pmu_lbr_filter() doesn't need to check and filter them out.
Cannot share the function with current model-specific LBR read, because
the direction of the LBR growth is opposite.

The previous model-specific LBR and Architecture LBR (legacy way) use a
similar method to save/restore the LBR information, which directly
accesses the LBR registers. The codes which read/write a set of LBR
registers can be shared between them.
Factor out two functions which are used to read/write a set of LBR
registers.
Add lbr_info into structure x86_pmu, and use it to replace the hardcoded
LBR INFO MSR, because the LBR INFO MSR address of the previous
model-specific LBR is different from Architecture LBR. The MSR address
should be assigned at boot time. For now, only Sky Lake and later
platforms have the LBR INFO MSR.

An IA32_LBR_CTL is introduced for Architecture LBR to enable and config
LBR registers to replace the previous LBR_SELECT.
All the related members in struct cpu_hw_events and struct x86_pmu
have to be renamed.
Some new macros are added to reflect the layout of LBR_CTL.
The mapping from PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_* to the corresponding bits in
LBR_CTL MSR is saved in lbr_ctl_map now, which is not a const value.
The value relies on the CPUID enumeration.
For the previous model-specific LBR, most of the bits in LBR_SELECT
operate in the suppressed mode. For the bits in LBR_CTL, the polarity is
inverted.
For the previous model-specific LBR format 5 (LBR_FORMAT_INFO), if the
NO_CYCLES and NO_FLAGS type are set, the flag LBR_NO_INFO will be set to
avoid the unnecessary LBR_INFO MSR read. Although Architecture LBR also
has a dedicated LBR_INFO MSR, perf doesn't need to check and set the
flag LBR_NO_INFO. For Architecture LBR, XSAVES instruction will be used
as the default way to read the LBR MSRs all together. The overhead which
the flag tries to avoid doesn't exist anymore. Dropping the flag can
save the extra check for the flag in the lbr_read() later, and make the
code cleaner.

determined at run time.

model-specific LBR. Both need to access the structure for the generic

To reduce the overhead of a context switch with LBR enabled, some
generic optimizations were introduced, e.g. avoiding restore LBR if no
one else touched them. The generic optimizations can also be used by
Architecture LBR later. Currently, the fields for the generic
optimizations are part of structure x86_perf_task_context, which will be
deprecated by Architecture LBR. A new structure should be introduced
for the common fields of generic optimization, which can be shared
between Architecture LBR and model-specific LBR.
Both 'valid_lbrs' and 'tos' are also used by the generic optimizations,
but they are not moved into the new structure, because Architecture LBR
is stack-like. The 'valid_lbrs' which records the index of the valid LBR
is not required anymore. The TOS MSR will be removed.
LBR registers may be cleared in the deep Cstate. If so, the generic
optimizations should not be applied. Perf has to unconditionally
restore the LBR registers. A generic function is required to detect the
reset due to the deep Cstate. lbr_is_reset_in_cstate() is introduced.
Currently, for the model-specific LBR, the TOS MSR is used to detect the
reset. There will be another method introduced for Architecture LBR
later.

the corresponding function at boot time, and avoid checking lbr_format
at run time.
The current 64-bit LBR read function is set as default.

The method to reset Architectural LBRs is different from previous
model-specific LBR. Perf has to implement a different function.
A function pointer is introduced for LBR reset. The enum of
LBR_FORMAT_* is also moved to perf_event.h. Perf should initialize the
corresponding functions at boot time, and avoid checking lbr_format at
run time.
The current 64-bit LBR reset function is set as default.

When a guest wants to use the LBR registers, its hypervisor creates a guest
LBR event and let host perf schedules it. The LBR records msrs are
accessible to the guest when its guest LBR event is scheduled on
by the perf subsystem.
Before scheduling this event out, we should avoid host changes on
IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR or LBR_SELECT. Otherwise, some unexpected branch
operations may interfere with guest behavior, pollute LBR records, and even
cause host branches leakage. In addition, the read operation
on host is also avoidable.
To ensure that guest LBR records are not lost during the context switch,
the guest LBR event would enable the callstack mode which could
save/restore guest unread LBR records with the help of
intel_pmu_lbr_sched_task() naturally.
However, the guest LBR_SELECT may changes for its own use and the host
LBR event doesn't save/restore it. To ensure that we doesn't lost the guest
LBR_SELECT value when the guest LBR event is running, the vlbr_constraint
is bound up with a new constraint flag PERF_X86_EVENT_LBR_SELECT.

The hypervisor may request the perf subsystem to schedule a time window
to directly access the LBR records msrs for its own use. Normally, it would
create a guest LBR event with callstack mode enabled, which is scheduled
along with other ordinary LBR events on the host but in an exclusive way.
To avoid wasting a counter for the guest LBR event, the perf tracks its
hw->idx via INTEL_PMC_IDX_FIXED_VLBR and assigns it with a fake VLBR
counter with the help of new vlbr_constraint. As with the BTS event,
there is actually no hardware counter assigned for the guest LBR event.

The LBR records msrs are model specific. The perf subsystem has already
obtained the base addresses of LBR records based on the cpu model.
Therefore, an interface is added to allow callers outside the perf
subsystem to obtain these LBR information. It's useful for hypervisors
to emulate the LBR feature for guests with less code.

For Intel LBR, the LBR Top-of-Stack (TOS) information is the HW index of
raw branch record for the most recent branch.
For non-adaptive PEBS and non-PEBS, the TOS information can be directly
retrieved from TOS MSR read in intel_pmu_lbr_read().
For adaptive PEBS, the LBR information stored in PEBS record doesn't
include the TOS information. For single PEBS, TOS can be directly read
from MSR, because the PMI is triggered immediately after PEBS is
written. TOS MSR is still unchanged.
For large PEBS, TOS MSR has stale value. Set -1ULL to indicate that the
TOS information is not available.

The low level index is the index in the underlying hardware buffer of
the most recently captured taken branch which is always saved in
branch_entries[0]. It is very useful for reconstructing the call stack.
For example, in Intel LBR call stack mode, the depth of reconstructed
LBR call stack limits to the number of LBR registers. With the low level
index information, perf tool may stitch the stacks of two samples. The
reconstructed LBR call stack can break the HW limitation.
Add a new branch sample type to retrieve low level index of raw branch
records. The low level index is between -1 (unknown) and max depth which
can be retrieved in /sys/devices/cpu/caps/branches.
Only when the new branch sample type is set, the low level index
information is dumped into the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK output.
Perf tool should check the attr.branch_sample_type, and apply the
corresponding format for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK samples.
Otherwise, some user case may be broken. For example, users may parse a
perf.data, which include the new branch sample type, with an old version
perf tool (without the check). Users probably get incorrect information
without any warning.

Implement intel_pmu_lbr_swap_task_ctx() method updating counters
of the events that requested LBR callstack data on a sample.
The counter can be zero for the case when task context belongs to
a thread that has just come from a block on a futex and the context
contains saved (lbr_stack_state == LBR_VALID) LBR register values.
For the values to be restored at LBR registers on the next thread's
switch-in event it swaps the counter value with the one that is
expected to be non zero at the previous equivalent task perf event
context.
Swap operation type ensures the previous task perf event context
stays consistent with the amount of events that requested LBR
callstack data on a sample.
