Pull SMP hotplug update from Thomas Gleixner:
"This contains a trivial typo fix and an extension to the core code for
dynamically allocating states in the prepare stage.
The extension is necessary right now because we need a proper way to
unbreak LTTNG, which iscurrently non functional due to the removal of
the notifiers. Surely it's out of tree, but it's widely used by
distros.
The simple solution would have been to reserve a state for LTTNG, but
I'm not fond about unused crap in the kernel and the dynamic range,
which we admittedly should have done right away, allows us to remove
quite some of the hardcoded states, i.e. those which have no ordering
requirements. So doing the right thing now is better than having an
smaller intermediate solution which needs to be reworked anyway"

It's possible to set up PEBS events to get only errors and not
any data, like on SNB-X (model 45) and IVB-EP (model 62)
via 2 perf commands running simultaneously:
taskset -c 1 ./perf record -c 4 -e branches:pp -j any -C 10
This leads to a soft lock up, because the error path of the
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm() does not account event->hw.interrupt
for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY
errors you don't have a way to stop the event when it's over
the max_samples_per_tick limit:

Pull x86 cache allocation interface from Thomas Gleixner:
"This provides support for Intel's Cache Allocation Technology, a cache
partitioning mechanism.
The interface is odd, but the hardware interface of that CAT stuff is
odd as well.
We tried hard to come up with an abstraction, but that only allows
rather simple partitioning, but no way of sharing and dealing with the
per package nature of this mechanism.
In the end we decided to expose the allocation bitmaps directly so all
combinations of the hardware can be utilized.
There are two ways of associating a cache partition:
- Task
A task can be added to a resource group. It uses the cache
partition associated to the group.
- CPU
All tasks which are not member of a resource group use the group to
which the CPU they are running on is associated with.
That allows for simple CPU based partitioning schemes.
The main expected user sare:
- Virtualization so a VM can only trash only the associated part of
the cash w/o disturbing others
- Real-Time systems to seperate RT and general workloads.
- Latency sensitive enterprise workloads
- In theory this also can be used to protect against cache side
channel attacks"
[ Intel RDT is "Resource Director Technology". The interface really is
rather odd and very specific, which delayed this pull request while I
was thinking about it. The pull request itself came in early during
the merge window, I just delayed it until things had calmed down and I
had more time.
But people tell me they'll use this, and the good news is that it is
_so_ specific that it's rather independent of anything else, and no
user is going to depend on the interface since it's pretty rare. So if
push comes to shove, we can just remove the interface and nothing will
break ]

Jiri reported the overlap scheduling exceeding its max stack.
Looking at the constraint that triggered this, it turns out the
overlap marker isn't needed.
The comment with EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP states: "This is the case if
the counter mask of such an event is not a subset of any other counter
mask of a constraint with an equal or higher weight".
Esp. that latter part is of interest here I think, our overlapping mask
is 0x0e, that has 3 bits set and is the highest weight mask in on the
PMU, therefore it will be placed last. Can we still create a scenario
where we would need to rewind that?
The scenario for AMD Fam15h is we're having masks like:
0x3F -- 111111
0x38 -- 111000
0x07 -- 000111
0x09 -- 001001
And we mark 0x09 as overlapping, because it is not a direct subset of
0x38 or 0x07 and has less weight than either of those. This means we'll
first try and place the 0x09 event, then try and place 0x38/0x07 events.
Now imagine we have:
3 * 0x07 + 0x09
and the initial pick for the 0x09 event is counter 0, then we'll fail to
place all 0x07 events. So we'll pop back, try counter 4 for the 0x09
event, and then re-try all 0x07 events, which will now work.
The masks on the PMU in question are:
0x01 - 0001
0x03 - 0011
0x0e - 1110
0x0c - 1100
But since all the masks that have overlap (0xe -> {0xc,0x3}) and (0x3 ->
0x1) are of heavier weight, it should all work out.

This patch solves a race condition between PEBS and the PMU handler.
In case multiple PEBS events are sampled at the same time,
it is possible to have GLOBAL_STATUS bit 62 set indicating
PEBS buffer overflow and also seeing at most 3 PEBS counters
having their bits set in the status register. This is a sign
that there was at least one PEBS record pending at the time
of the PMU interrupt. PEBS counters must only be processed
via the drain_pebs() calls, and not via the regular sample
processing loop coming after that the function, otherwise
phony regular samples may be generated in the sampling buffer
not marked with the EXACT tag.
Another possibility is to have one PEBS event and at least
one non-PEBS event whic hoverflows while PEBS has armed. In this
case, bit 62 of GLOBAL_STATUS will not be set, yet the overflow
status bit for the PEBS counter will be on Skylake.
To avoid this problem, we systematically ignore the PEBS-enabled
counters from the GLOBAL_STATUS mask and we always process PEBS
events via drain_pebs().
The problem manifested itself by having non-exact samples when
sampling only PEBS events, i.e., the PERF_SAMPLE_RECORD would
not have the EXACT flag set.
Note that this problem is only present on Skylake processor.
This fix is harmless on older processors.

ldt->size can never be negative. The helper functions take 'unsigned int'
arguments which are assigned from ldt->size. The related user space
user_desc struct member entry_number is unsigned as well.
But ldt->size itself and a few local variables which are related to
ldt->size are type 'int' which makes no sense whatsoever and results in
typecasts which make the eyes bleed.

Lukasz reported that perf stat counters overflow handling is broken on KNL/SLM.
Both these parts have full_width_write set, and that does indeed have
a problem. In order to deal with counter wrap, we must sample the
counter at at least half the counter period (see also the sampling
theorem) such that we can unambiguously reconstruct the count.
However commit:
069e0c3c40 ("perf/x86/intel: Support full width counting")
sets the sampling interval to the full period, not half.
Fixing that exposes another issue, in that we must not sign extend the
delta value when we shift it right; the counter cannot have
decremented after all.
With both these issues fixed, counter overflow functions correctly
again.

Vince Weaver reported that perf_fuzzer + KASAN detects that PEBS event
unwinds sometimes do 'weird' things. In particular, we seemed to be
ending up unwinding from random places on the NMI stack.
While it was somewhat expected that the event record BP,SP would not
match the interrupt BP,SP in that the interrupt is strictly later than
the record event, it was overlooked that it could be on an already
overwritten stack.
Therefore, don't copy the recorded BP,SP over the interrupted BP,SP
when we need stack unwinds.
Note that its still possible the unwind doesn't full match the actual
event, as its entirely possible to have done an (I)RET between record
and interrupt, but on average it should still point in the general
direction of where the event came from. Also, it's the best we can do,
considering.
The particular scenario that triggered the bogus NMI stack unwind was
a PEBS event with very short period, upon enabling the event at the
tail of the PMI handler (FREEZE_ON_PMI is not used), it instantly
triggers a record (while still on the NMI stack) which in turn
triggers the next PMI. This then causes back-to-back NMIs and we'll
try and unwind the stack-frame from the last NMI, which obviously is
now overwritten by our own.

Since commit 4d4c474124 ("perf/x86/intel/bts: Fix BTS PMI detection")
my box goes boom on boot:
| .... node #0, CPUs: #1#2#3#4#5#6#7
| BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018
| IP: [<ffffffff8100c463>] intel_bts_interrupt+0x43/0x130
| Call Trace:
| <NMI> d [<ffffffff8100b341>] intel_pmu_handle_irq+0x51/0x4b0
| [<ffffffff81004d47>] perf_event_nmi_handler+0x27/0x40
This happens because the code introduced in this commit dereferences the
debug store pointer unconditionally. The debug store is not guaranteed to
be available, so a NULL pointer check as on other places is required.

The Intel PT facility grew some new functionality:
* PTWRITE packet carries the payload of the new PTWRITE instruction
that can be used to instrument Intel PT traces with user-supplied
data. Packets of this type are only generated if 'ptwrite' capability
is set and PTWEn bit is set in the event attribute's config. Flow
update packets (FUP) can be generated on PTWRITE packets if FUPonPTW
config bit is set. Setting these bits is not allowed if 'ptwrite'
capability is not set.
* PWRE, PWRX, MWAIT, EXSTOP packets communicate core power management
events. These depend on 'power_event_tracing' capability and are
enabled by setting PwrEvtEn bit in the event attribute.
Extend the driver capabilities and provide the proper sanity checks in the
event validation function.

While the Intel PMU monitors the LLC when perf enables the
HW_CACHE_REFERENCES and HW_CACHE_MISSES events, these events monitor
L1 instruction cache fetches (0x0080) and instruction cache misses
(0x0081) on the AMD PMU.
This is extremely confusing when monitoring the same workload across
Intel and AMD machines, since parameters like,
$ perf stat -e cache-references,cache-misses
measure completely different things.
Instead, make the AMD PMU measure instruction/data cache and TLB fill
requests to the L2 and instruction/data cache and TLB misses in the L2
when HW_CACHE_REFERENCES and HW_CACHE_MISSES are enabled,
respectively. That way the events measure unified caches on both
platforms.
