Subject: [PATCH V18 0/9] arm64/perf: Enable branch stack sampling
This series enables perf branch stack sampling support on arm64 platform
via a new arch feature called Branch Record Buffer Extension (BRBE). All
the relevant register definitions could be accessed here.
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0601/2021-12/AArch64-Registers
This series applies on 6.10-rc3.
Also this series is being hosted below for quick access, review and test.
https://git.gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/linux-anshuman.git (brbe_v18)

========== Perf Branch Stack Sampling Support (arm64 platforms) ===========
Currently arm64 platform does not support perf branch stack sampling. Hence
any event requesting for branch stack records i.e PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK
marked in event->attr.sample_type, will be rejected in armpmu_event_init().
static int armpmu_event_init(struct perf_event *event)
{
........
/* does not support taken branch sampling */
if (has_branch_stack(event))
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
........
}
$perf record -j any,u,k ls
Error:
cycles:P: PMU Hardware or event type doesn't support branch stack sampling.
-------------------- CONFIG_ARM64_BRBE and FEAT_BRBE ----------------------
After this series, perf branch stack sampling feature gets enabled on arm64
platforms where FEAT_BRBE HW feature is supported, and CONFIG_ARM64_BRBE is
also selected during build. Let's observe all all possible scenarios here.
1. Feature not built (!CONFIG_ARM64_BRBE):
Falls back to the current behaviour i.e event gets rejected.
2. Feature built but HW not supported (CONFIG_ARM64_BRBE && !FEAT_BRBE):
Falls back to the current behaviour i.e event gets rejected.
3. Feature built and HW supported (CONFIG_ARM64_BRBE && FEAT_BRBE):
Platform supports branch stack sampling requests. Let's observe through a
simple example here.
$perf record -j any_call,u,k,save_type ls
[Please refer perf-record man pages for all possible branch filter options]

-------------------------- Snip ----------------------
perf script and other tooling can also be applied on the captured perf.data
Similarly branch stack sampling records can be collected via direct system
call i.e perf_event_open() method after setting 'struct perf_event_attr' as
required.
event->attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK
event->attr.branch_sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_<FILTER_1> |
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_<FILTER_2> |
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_<FILTER_3> |
...............................
But all branch filters might not be supported on the platform.
----------------------- BRBE Branch Filters Support -----------------------
- Following branch filters are supported on arm64.
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_USER /* Branch privilege filters */
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_KERNEL
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HV
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY /* Branch type filters */
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY_CALL
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY_RETURN
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_IND_CALL
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_IND_JUMP
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_NO_FLAGS /* Branch record flags */
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_NO_CYCLES
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_TYPE_SAVE
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_PRIV_SAVE
- Following branch filters are not supported on arm64.
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ABORT_TX
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_IN_TX
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_NO_TX

Events requesting above non-supported branch filters get rejected.

- File moved - drivers/perf/arm_pmu_brbe.h -> arch/arm64/kernel/brbe.h
- BRBE name has been dropped from struct arm_pmu and struct hw_pmu_events
- BRBE name has been abstracted out as 'branches' in arm_pmu and hw_pmu_events
- BRBE name has been abstracted out as 'branches' in ARMV8 PMU implementation
- Added sched_task() callback into struct arm_pmu
- Added 'hw_attr' into struct arm_pmu encapsulating possible PMU HW attributes
- Dropped explicit attributes brbe_(v1p1, nr, cc, format) from struct arm_pmu
- Dropped brbfcr, brbcr, registers scratch area from struct hw_pmu_events
- Dropped brbe_users, brbe_context tracking in struct hw_pmu_events
- Added 'features' tracking into struct arm_pmu with ARM_PMU_BRANCH_STACK flag
- armpmu->hw_attr maps into 'struct brbe_hw_attr' inside BRBE implementation
- Set ARM_PMU_BRANCH_STACK in 'arm_pmu->features' after successful BRBE probe
- Added armv8pmu_branch_reset() inside armv8pmu_branch_enable()
- Dropped brbe_supported() as events will be rejected via ARM_PMU_BRANCH_STACK
- Dropped set_brbe_disabled() as well
- Reformated armv8pmu_branch_valid() warnings while rejecting unsupported events
Changes in V5:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20221107062514.2851047-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
- Changed BRBCR_EL1.VIRTUAL from 0b1 to 0b01
- Changed BRBFCR_EL1.EnL into BRBFCR_EL1.EnI
- Changed config ARM_BRBE_PMU from 'tristate' to 'bool'
Changes in V4:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221017055713.451092-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
- Changed ../tools/sysreg declarations as suggested
- Set PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK in data.sample_flags
- Dropped perfmon_capable() check in armpmu_event_init()
- s/pr_warn_once/pr_info in armpmu_event_init()
- Added brbe_format element into struct pmu_hw_events
- Changed v1p1 as brbe_v1p1 in struct pmu_hw_events
- Dropped pr_info() from arm64_pmu_brbe_probe(), solved LOCKDEP warning
Changes in V3:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220929075857.158358-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
- Moved brbe_stack from the stack and now dynamically allocated
- Return PERF_BR_PRIV_UNKNOWN instead of -1 in brbe_fetch_perf_priv()
- Moved BRBIDR0, BRBCR, BRBFCR registers and fields into tools/sysreg
- Created dummy BRBINF_EL1 field definitions in tools/sysreg
- Dropped ARMPMU_EVT_PRIV framework which cached perfmon_capable()
- Both exception and exception return branche records are now captured
only if the event has PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_KERNEL which would already
been checked in generic perf via perf_allow_kernel()
Changes in V2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220908051046.465307-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
- Dropped branch sample filter helpers consolidation patch from this series
- Added new hw_perf_event.flags element ARMPMU_EVT_PRIV to cache perfmon_capable()
- Use cached perfmon_capable() while configuring BRBE branch record filters
Changes in V1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220613100119.684673-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
- Added CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS wrapper for all branch sample filter helpers
- Process new perf branch types via PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI
Changes in RFC V2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220412115455.293119-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
- Added branch_sample_priv() while consolidating other branch sample filter helpers
- Changed all SYS_BRBXXXN_EL1 register definition encodings per Marc
- Changed the BRBE driver as per proposed BRBE related perf ABI changes (V5)
- Added documentation for struct arm_pmu changes, updated commit message
- Updated commit message for BRBE detection infrastructure patch
- PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_KERNEL gets checked during arm event init (outside the driver)
- Branch privilege state capture mechanism has now moved inside the driver
