Snapshot the event selectors for the events that KVM emulates in software,
which is currently instructions retired and branch instructions retired.
The event selectors a tied to the underlying CPU, i.e. are constant for a
given platform even though perf doesn't manage the mappings as such.
Getting the event selectors from perf isn't exactly cheap, especially if
mitigations are enabled, as at least one indirect call is involved.
Snapshot the values in KVM instead of optimizing perf as working with the
raw event selectors will be required if KVM ever wants to emulate events
that aren't part of perf's uABI, i.e. that don't have an "enum perf_hw_id"
entry.

Add and use kvm_for_each_pmc() to dedup a variety of open coded for-loops
that iterate over valid PMCs given a bitmap (and because seeing checkpatch
whine about bad macro style is always amusing).

Add a common helper for *internal* PMC lookups, and delete the ops hook
and Intel's implementation. Keep AMD's implementation, but rename it to
amd_pmu_get_pmc() to make it somewhat more obvious that it's suited for
both KVM-internal and guest-initiated lookups.
Because KVM tracks all counters in a single bitmap, getting a counter
when iterating over a bitmap, e.g. of all valid PMCs, requires a small
amount of math, that while simple, isn't super obvious and doesn't use the
same semantics as PMC lookups from RDPMC! Although AMD doesn't support
fixed counters, the common PMU code still behaves as if there a split, the
high half of which just happens to always be empty.
Opportunstically add a comment to explain both what is going on, and why
KVM uses a single bitmap, e.g. the boilerplate for iterating over separate
bitmaps could be done via macros, so it's not (just) about deduplicating
code.

Add a common define to "officially" solidify KVM's split of counters,
i.e. to commit to using bits 31:0 to track general purpose counters and
bits 63:32 to track fixed counters (which only Intel supports). KVM
already bleeds this behavior all over common PMU code, and adding a KVM-
defined macro allows clarifying that the value is a _base_, as oppposed to
the _flag_ that is used to access fixed PMCs via RDPMC (which perf
confusingly calls INTEL_PMC_FIXED_RDPMC_BASE).
No functional change intended.

Apply the pre-intercepts RDPMC validity check only to AMD, and rename all
relevant functions to make it as clear as possible that the check is not a
standard PMC index check. On Intel, the basic rule is that only invalid
opcodes and privilege/permission/mode checks have priority over VM-Exit,
i.e. RDPMC with an invalid index should VM-Exit, not #GP. While the SDM
doesn't explicitly call out RDPMC, it _does_ explicitly use RDMSR of a
non-existent MSR as an example where VM-Exit has priority over #GP, and
RDPMC is effectively just a variation of RDMSR.
Manually testing on various Intel CPUs confirms this behavior, and the
inverted priority was introduced for SVM compatibility, i.e. was not an
intentional change for Intel PMUs. On AMD, *all* exceptions on RDPMC have
priority over VM-Exit.
Check for a NULL kvm_pmu_ops.check_rdpmc_early instead of using a RET0
static call so as to provide a convenient location to document the
difference between Intel and AMD, and to again try to make it as obvious
as possible that the early check is a one-off thing, not a generic "is
this PMC valid?" helper.

Remove KVM's bogus restriction that the guest can't program an event whose
encoding matches an unsupported architectural event. The enumeration of
an architectural event only says that if a CPU supports an architectural
event, then the event can be programmed using the architectural encoding.
The enumeration does NOT say anything about the encoding when the CPU
doesn't report support the architectural event.
Preventing the guest from counting events whose encoding happens to match
an architectural event breaks existing functionality whenever Intel adds
an architectural encoding that was *ever* used for a CPU that doesn't
enumerate support for the architectural event, even if the encoding is for
the exact same event!
E.g. the architectural encoding for Top-Down Slots is 0x01a4. Broadwell
CPUs, which do not support the Top-Down Slots architectural event, 0x01a4
is a valid, model-specific event. Denying guest usage of 0x01a4 if/when
KVM adds support for Top-Down slots would break any Broadwell-based guest.

Explicitly track emulated counter events instead of using the common
counter value that's shared with the hardware counter owned by perf.
Bumping the common counter requires snapshotting the pre-increment value
in order to detect overflow from emulation, and the snapshot approach is
inherently flawed.
Snapshotting the previous counter at every increment assumes that there is
at most one emulated counter event per emulated instruction (or rather,
between checks for KVM_REQ_PMU). That's mostly holds true today because
KVM only emulates (branch) instructions retired, but the approach will
fall apart if KVM ever supports event types that don't have a 1:1
relationship with instructions.
And KVM already has a relevant bug, as handle_invalid_guest_state()
emulates multiple instructions without checking KVM_REQ_PMU, i.e. could
miss an overflow event due to clobbering pmc->prev_counter. Not checking
KVM_REQ_PMU is problematic in both cases, but at least with the emulated
counter approach, the resulting behavior is delayed overflow detection,
as opposed to completely lost detection.
Tracking the emulated count fixes another bug where the snapshot approach
can signal spurious overflow due to incorporating both the emulated count
and perf's count in the check, i.e. if overflow is detected by perf, then
KVM's emulation will also incorrectly signal overflow. Add a comment in
the related code to call out the need to process emulated events *after*
pausing the perf event (big kudos to Mingwei for figuring out that
particular wrinkle).

Update a PMC's sample period in pmc_write_counter() to deduplicate code
across all callers of pmc_write_counter(). Opportunistically move
pmc_write_counter() into pmc.c now that it's doing more work. WRMSR isn't
such a hot path that an extra CALL+RET pair will be problematic, and the
order of function definitions needs to be changed anyways, i.e. now is a
convenient time to eat the churn.

Drop kvm_vcpu_reset()'s call to kvm_pmu_reset(), the call is performed
only for RESET, which is really just the same thing as vCPU creation,
and kvm_arch_vcpu_create() *just* called kvm_pmu_init(), i.e. there can't
possibly be any work to do.
Unlike Intel, AMD's amd_pmu_refresh() does fill all_valid_pmc_idx even if
guest CPUID is empty, but everything that is at all dynamic is guaranteed
to be '0'/NULL, e.g. it should be impossible for KVM to have already
created a perf event.

Move the common (or at least "ignored") aspects of resetting the vPMU to
common x86 code, along with the stop/release helpers that are no used only
by the common pmu.c.
There is no need to manually handle fixed counters as all_valid_pmc_idx
tracks both fixed and general purpose counters, and resetting the vPMU is
far from a hot path, i.e. the extra bit of overhead to the PMC from the
index is a non-issue.
Zero fixed_ctr_ctrl in common code even though it's Intel specific.
Ensuring it's zero doesn't harm AMD/SVM in any way, and stopping the fixed
counters via all_valid_pmc_idx, but not clearing the associated control
bits, would be odd/confusing.
Make the .reset() hook optional as SVM no longer needs vendor specific
handling.

Performance counters are defined to have width less than 64 bits. The
vPMU code maintains the counters in u64 variables but assumes the value
to fit within the defined width. However, for Intel non-full-width
counters (MSR_IA32_PERFCTRx) the value receieved from the guest is
truncated to 32 bits and then sign-extended to full 64 bits. If a
negative value is set, it's sign-extended to 64 bits, but then in
kvm_pmu_incr_counter() it's incremented, truncated, and compared to the
previous value for overflow detection.
That previous value is not truncated, so it always evaluates bigger than
the truncated new one, and a PMI is injected. If the PMI handler writes
a negative counter value itself, the vCPU never quits the PMI loop.
Turns out that Linux PMI handler actually does write the counter with
the value just read with RDPMC, so when no full-width support is exposed
via MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES, and the guest initializes the counter to
a negative value, it locks up.
This has been observed in the field, for example, when the guest configures
atop to use perfevents and runs two instances of it simultaneously.
To address the problem, maintain the invariant that the counter value
always fits in the defined bit width, by truncating the received value
in the respective set_msr methods. For better readability, factor the
out into a helper function, pmc_write_counter(), shared by vmx and svm
parts.

Disable PMU support when running on AMD and perf reports fewer than four
general purpose counters. All AMD PMUs must define at least four counters
due to AMD's legacy architecture hardcoding the number of counters
without providing a way to enumerate the number of counters to software,
e.g. from AMD's APM:
The legacy architecture defines four performance counters (PerfCtrn)
and corresponding event-select registers (PerfEvtSeln).
Virtualizing fewer than four counters can lead to guest instability as
software expects four counters to be available. Rather than bleed AMD
details into the common code, just define a const unsigned int and
provide a convenient location to document why Intel and AMD have different
mins (in particular, AMD's lack of any way to enumerate less than four
counters to the guest).
Keep the minimum number of counters at Intel at one, even though old P6
and Core Solo/Duo processor effectively require a minimum of two counters.
KVM can, and more importantly has up until this point, supported a vPMU so
long as the CPU has at least one counter. Perf's support for P6/Core CPUs
does require two counters, but perf will happily chug along with a single
counter when running on a modern CPU.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Provide a virtual cache topology to the guest to avoid
inconsistencies with migration on heterogenous systems. Non secure
software has no practical need to traverse the caches by set/way in
the first place
- Add support for taking stage-2 access faults in parallel. This was
an accidental omission in the original parallel faults
implementation, but should provide a marginal improvement to
machines w/o FEAT_HAFDBS (such as hardware from the fruit company)
- A preamble to adding support for nested virtualization to KVM,
including vEL2 register state, rudimentary nested exception
handling and masking unsupported features for nested guests
- Fixes to the PSCI relay that avoid an unexpected host SVE trap when
resuming a CPU when running pKVM
- VGIC maintenance interrupt support for the AIC
- Improvements to the arch timer emulation, primarily aimed at
reducing the trap overhead of running nested
- Add CONFIG_USERFAULTFD to the KVM selftests config fragment in the
interest of CI systems
- Avoid VM-wide stop-the-world operations when a vCPU accesses its
own redistributor
- Serialize when toggling CPACR_EL1.SMEN to avoid unexpected
exceptions in the host
- Aesthetic and comment/kerneldoc fixes
- Drop the vestiges of the old Columbia mailing list and add [Oliver]
as co-maintainer
RISC-V:
- Fix wrong usage of PGDIR_SIZE instead of PUD_SIZE
- Correctly place the guest in S-mode after redirecting a trap to the
guest
- Redirect illegal instruction traps to guest
- SBI PMU support for guest
s390:
- Sort out confusion between virtual and physical addresses, which
currently are the same on s390
- A new ioctl that performs cmpxchg on guest memory
- A few fixes
x86:
- Change tdp_mmu to a read-only parameter
- Separate TDP and shadow MMU page fault paths
- Enable Hyper-V invariant TSC control
- Fix a variety of APICv and AVIC bugs, some of them real-world, some
of them affecting architecurally legal but unlikely to happen in
practice
- Mark APIC timer as expired if its in one-shot mode and the count
underflows while the vCPU task was being migrated
- Advertise support for Intel's new fast REP string features
- Fix a double-shootdown issue in the emergency reboot code
- Ensure GIF=1 and disable SVM during an emergency reboot, i.e. give
SVM similar treatment to VMX
- Update Xen's TSC info CPUID sub-leaves as appropriate
- Add support for Hyper-V's extended hypercalls, where "support" at
this point is just forwarding the hypercalls to userspace
- Clean up the kvm->lock vs. kvm->srcu sequences when updating the
PMU and MSR filters
- One-off fixes and cleanups
- Fix and cleanup the range-based TLB flushing code, used when KVM is
running on Hyper-V
- Add support for filtering PMU events using a mask. If userspace
wants to restrict heavily what events the guest can use, it can now
do so without needing an absurd number of filter entries
- Clean up KVM's handling of "PMU MSRs to save", especially when vPMU
support is disabled
- Add PEBS support for Intel Sapphire Rapids
- Fix a mostly benign overflow bug in SEV's
send|receive_update_data()
- Move several SVM-specific flags into vcpu_svm
x86 Intel:
- Handle NMI VM-Exits before leaving the noinstr region
- A few trivial cleanups in the VM-Enter flows
- Stop enabling VMFUNC for L1 purely to document that KVM doesn't
support EPTP switching (or any other VM function) for L1
- Fix a crash when using eVMCS's enlighted MSR bitmaps
Generic:
- Clean up the hardware enable and initialization flow, which was
scattered around multiple arch-specific hooks. Instead, just let
the arch code call into generic code. Both x86 and ARM should
benefit from not having to fight common KVM code's notion of how to
do initialization
- Account allocations in generic kvm_arch_alloc_vm()
- Fix a memory leak if coalesced MMIO unregistration fails
selftests:
- On x86, cache the CPU vendor (AMD vs. Intel) and use the info to
emit the correct hypercall instruction instead of relying on KVM to
patch in VMMCALL
- Use TAP interface for kvm_binary_stats_test and tsc_msrs_test"

Disable KVM support for virtualizing PMUs on hosts with hybrid PMUs until
KVM gains a sane way to enumeration the hybrid vPMU to userspace and/or
gains a mechanism to let userspace opt-in to the dangers of exposing a
hybrid vPMU to KVM guests. Virtualizing a hybrid PMU, or at least part of
a hybrid PMU, is possible, but it requires careful, deliberate
configuration from userspace.
E.g. to expose full functionality, vCPUs need to be pinned to pCPUs to
prevent migrating a vCPU between a big core and a little core, userspace
must enumerate a reasonable topology to the guest, and guest CPUID must be
curated per vCPU to enumerate accurate vPMU capabilities.
The last point is especially problematic, as KVM doesn't control which
pCPU it runs on when enumerating KVM's vPMU capabilities to userspace,
i.e. userspace can't rely on KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID in it's current form.
Alternatively, userspace could enable vPMU support by enumerating the
set of features that are common and coherent across all cores, e.g. by
filtering PMU events and restricting guest capabilities. But again, that
requires userspace to take action far beyond reflecting KVM's supported
feature set into the guest.
For now, simply disable vPMU support on hybrid CPUs to avoid inducing
seemingly random #GPs in guests, and punt support for hybrid CPUs to a
future enabling effort.

Limit kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_gp during kvm_init_pmu_capability() based
on the vendor PMU capabilities so that consuming num_counters_gp naturally
does the right thing. This fixes a mostly theoretical bug where KVM could
over-report its PMU support in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID for leaf 0xA, e.g.
if the number of counters reported by perf is greater than KVM's
hardcoded internal limit. Incorporating input from the AMD PMU also
avoids over-reporting MSRs to save when running on AMD.

use the hardware event eventsel and unit_mask to reprogram perf_event,
and the event_type field in the "struct kvm_event_hw_type_mapping"

Convert the struct into an anonymous struct as the current name is
obsolete as the structure no longer has any mapping semantics, and
placing the struct definition directly above its sole user makes its
easier to understand what the array is filling in.

The current vPMU can reuse the same pmc->perf_event for the same
hardware event via pmc_pause/resume_counter(), but this optimization
does not apply to a portion of the TSX events (e.g., "event=0x3c,in_tx=1,
in_tx_cp=1"), where event->attr.sample_period is legally zero at creation,
thus making the perf call to perf_event_period() meaningless (no need to
adjust sample period in this case), and instead causing such reusable
perf_events to be repeatedly released and created.
Avoid releasing zero sample_period events by checking is_sampling_event()
to follow the previously enable/disable optimization.

Batch reprogramming PMU counters by setting KVM_REQ_PMU and thus

Deferring programming will also allow KVM to fix a bug where immediately

interrupts are disabled in the VM-Exit fastpath.

Revert the hack to allow host-initiated accesses to all "PMU" MSRs,
as intel_is_valid_msr() returns true for _all_ MSRs, regardless of whether
or not it has a snowball's chance in hell of actually being a PMU MSR.
That mostly gets papered over by the actual get/set helpers only handling
MSRs that they knows about, except there's the minor detail that
kvm_pmu_{g,s}et_msr() eat reads and writes when the PMU is disabled.
I.e. KVM will happy allow reads and writes to _any_ MSR if the PMU is
disabled, either via module param or capability.
This reverts commit d1c88a4020567ba4da52f778bcd9619d87e4ea75.

Once vPMU is disabled, the KVM would not expose features like:
PEBS (via clear kvm_pmu_cap.pebs_ept), legacy LBR and ARCH_LBR,
CPUID 0xA leaf, PDCM bit and MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES, plus
PT_MODE_HOST_GUEST mode.
What this group of features has in common is that their use
relies on the underlying PMU counter and the host perf_event as a
back-end resource requester or sharing part of the irq delivery path.

The BTS feature (including the ability to set the BTS and BTINT
bits in the DEBUGCTL MSR) is currently unsupported on KVM.
But we may try using the BTS facility on a PEBS enabled guest like this:
perf record -e branches:u -c 1 -d ls
and then we would encounter the following call trace:
[] unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0x1d9 (tried to write 0x00000000000003c0)
at rIP: 0xffffffff810745e4 (native_write_msr+0x4/0x20)
[] Call Trace:
[] intel_pmu_enable_bts+0x5d/0x70
[] bts_event_add+0x54/0x70
[] event_sched_in+0xee/0x290
As it lacks any CPUID indicator or perf_capabilities valid bit
fields to prompt for this information, the platform would hint
the Intel BTS feature unavailable to guest by setting the
BTS_UNAVAIL bit in the IA32_MISC_ENABLE.

On some virt platforms (L1 guest w/o PMU), the value of module parameter
'enable_pmu' for nested L2 guests should be updated at initialisation.
Considering that there is no concept of "architecture pmu" in AMD or Hygon
and that the versions (prior to Zen 4) are all 0, but that the theoretical
available counters are at least AMD64_NUM_COUNTERS, the utility
check_hw_exists() is reused in the initialisation call path.
Opportunistically update Intel specific comments.

All gp or fixed counters have been reprogrammed using PERF_TYPE_RAW,
which means that the table that maps perf_hw_id to event select values is
no longer useful, at least for AMD.
For Intel, the logic to check if the pmu event reported by Intel cpuid is
not available is still required, in which case pmc_perf_hw_id() could be
renamed to hw_event_is_unavail() and a bool value is returned to replace
the semantics of "PERF_COUNT_HW_MAX+1".

The PEBS-PDIR facility on Ice Lake server is supported on IA31_FIXED0 only.
If the guest configures counter 32 and PEBS is enabled, the PEBS-PDIR
facility is supposed to be used, in which case KVM adjusts attr.precise_ip
to 3 and request host perf to assign the exactly requested counter or fail.
The CPU model check is also required since some platforms may place the

NMI-watchdog is one of the favorite features of kernel developers,
but it does not work in AMD guest even with vPMU enabled and worse,
the system misrepresents this capability via /proc.
This is a PMC emulation error. KVM does not pass the latest valid
value to perf_event in time when guest NMI-watchdog is running, thus
the perf_event corresponding to the watchdog counter will enter the
old state at some point after the first guest NMI injection, forcing
the hardware register PMC0 to be constantly written to 0x800000000001.
Meanwhile, the running counter should accurately reflect its new value
based on the latest coordinated pmc->counter (from vPMC's point of view)
rather than the value written directly by the guest.

*is_valid_msr(), which _are_ predicates. Moreover, there are comments
that essentially warn that these functions behave unexpectedly.
Flip the polarity of the return values, so that they become

interfaces
Based on our observations, after any vm-exit associated with vPMU, there
are at least two or more perf interfaces to be called for guest counter
emulation, such as perf_event_{pause, read_value, period}(), and each one
will {lock, unlock} the same perf_event_ctx. The frequency of calls becomes
more severe when guest use counters in a multiplexed manner.
Holding a lock once and completing the KVM request operations in the perf
context would introduce a set of impractical new interfaces. So we can
further optimize the vPMU implementation by avoiding repeated calls to
these interfaces in the KVM context for at least one pattern:
After we call perf_event_pause() once, the event will be disabled and its
internal count will be reset to 0. So there is no need to pause it again
or read its value. Once the event is paused, event period will not be
updated until the next time it's resumed or reprogrammed. And there is
also no need to call perf_event_period twice for a non-running counter,
considering the perf_event for a running counter is never paused.
Based on this implementation, for the following common usage of
sampling 4 events using perf on a 4u8g guest:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog
echo 25 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent
echo 10000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent
for i in `seq 1 1 10`
do
taskset -c 0 perf record \
-e cpu-cycles -e instructions -e branch-instructions -e cache-misses \
/root/br_instr a
done
the average latency of the guest NMI handler is reduced from
37646.7 ns to 32929.3 ns (~1.14x speed up) on the Intel ICX server.
Also, in addition to collecting more samples, no loss of sampling
accuracy was observed compared to before the optimization.

The vPMU uses GUEST_LBR_IN_USE_IDX (bit 58) in 'pmu->pmc_in_use' to
indicate whether a guest LBR event is still needed by the vcpu. If the
vcpu no longer accesses LBR related registers within a scheduling time
slice, and the enable bit of LBR has been unset, vPMU will treat the
guest LBR event as a bland event of a vPMC counter and release it
as usual. Also, the pass-through state of LBR records msrs is cancelled.

Intel SDM "17.4.7 Freezing LBR and Performance Counters on PMI", if
IA32_DEBUGCTL.Freeze_LBR_On_PMI = 1, the LBR is frozen on the virtual
PMI and the KVM would emulate to clear the LBR bit (bit 0) in
