This series is a complete re-design of V1 of the QCOM Falkor extensions [1],
it introduces a probe table based on the HID of a device nested under the CPU
device to allow variant detection and arm_pmu customization.
The first patch adds an additional section at the end of each ACPI probe table.
This allows probe tables to be sentinel-delimited and better accommodate some
APIs that require such tables.
The second patch adds the PMUv3 ACPI probe table and plumbing to allow drivers
to plug into the ACPI PMUv3 probe sequence.
The third patch adds the PC capture extension applicable to Falkor and Saphira
CPUs. This shows how an extension that uses sampling events hooks. A similar
approach can be used to add RBB support and populate the sample branch stack
from it.
The fourth patch adds the matrix-based events extension applicable to Falkor
only.
If this found to be a reasonable extension approach other patches will be
added to the series to build on the base QCOM extensions.
[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/1/540
Changes since V3:
- Add PC capture support as first extension. Add matrix-based events on top.
Changes since V2:
- Address V2 comments, which resulted in removing all uses of the PMU lock.

DT allows CPU PMU variant detection via the PMU device compatible
property. ACPI does not have an equivalent mechanism so we introduce
a probe table to allow this via a device nested inside the CPU device
in the DSDT:
Device (CPU0)
{
Name (_HID, "ACPI0007" /* Processor Device */)
...
Device (PMU0)
{
Name (_HID, "QCOM8150") /* Qualcomm Falkor PMU device */
/*
* The device might also contain _DSD properties to indicate other
* IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED PMU features.
*/
Name (_DSD, Package ()
{
ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
Package ()
{
...
}
})
}
}
With this in place we can declare the variant:
ACPI_DECLARE_PMU_VARIANT(qcom_falkor, "QCOM8150", falkor_pmu_init);
The init function is called after the default PMU initialization and is
passed a pointer to the arm_pmu structure and a pointer to the PMU device.
The init function can then override arm_pmu callbacks and attributes and
query more properties from the PMU device.

Selection of these events can be envisioned as indexing them from
a 3D matrix:
- the first index selects a Region Event Selection Register (PMRESRx_EL0)
- the second index selects a group from which only one event at a time
can be selected
- the third index selects the event
These events are encoded into perf_event_attr as:
mbe [config1:1 ] (flag that indicates a matrix-based event)
reg [config:12-15] (specifies the PMRESRx_EL0 instance)
group [config:0-3 ] (specifies the event group)
code [config:4-11 ] (specifies the event)
Events with the mbe flag set to zero are treated as common or raw PMUv3
events and are handled by the base PMUv3 driver code.
The first two indexes are set combining the RESR and group number with
a base number and writing it into the architected PMXEVTYPER_EL0 register.
The third index is set by writing the code into the bits corresponding
with the group into the appropriate IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED PMRESRx_EL0
register.
Support for this extension is signaled by the presence of the Falkor PMU
device node under each Falkor CPU device node in the DSDT ACPI table. E.g.:
Device (CPU0)
{
Name (_HID, "ACPI0007" /* Processor Device */)
...
Device (PMU0)
{
Name (_HID, "QCOM8150") /* Qualcomm Falkor PMU device */
...
}
}

PC capture is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED extension to the ARMv8 PMUv3 that
allows more precise PC sampling by storing the PC in a separate system
register when an event counter overflow occurs. Reduces skid and allows
sampling when interrupts are disabled (since the PMI is a maskable interrupt
in arm64). Note that there is only one PC capture register so we only
allow one event at a time to use it.
Support for this extension is signaled by the presence of the Falkor or
Saphira PMU device node under a CPU device node in the DSDT ACPI table
containing the u8 _DSD property "qcom,pmu-pcc-support" set to non-zero.
E.g.:
Device (CPU0)
{
Name (_HID, "ACPI0007" /* Processor Device */)
...
Device (PMU0)
{
Name (_HID, "QCOM8150") /* Qualcomm Falkor PMU device */
Name (_DSD, Package () {
ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
Package () {
Package () {"qcom,pmu-pcc-support", 1},
}
})
}
}

Tables declared with the ACPI_PROBE_TABLE linker macro are typically
traversed by using the start and end symbols created by the linker
script. However, there are some APIs that use sentinel-delimited
tables (e.g. acpi_match_device). To better support these APIs an
additional section is added at the end of the probe table. This
section can be used to add a sentinel for tables that require it.

I'm mostly ok with this approach, but I have a concern with the way in which
the sysfs interface for carving up the config fields is implemented. If this
is intended to be a strict extension to the armv8 pmu architecture, then I
don't think you should be overriding the attr_groups entirely. Rather, you
should be taking the attr_groups from pmuv3 and then extending them in a way
which avoids overlapping field allocations by construction.
As it stands, you already have an overlap between the pcc bit and the
chained counter bit which Suzuki has implemented and it will be very easy to
introduce API breakage if we don't enforce this as part of the design.

FYI, I left Qualcomm on July 6, one of my former colleagues will submit
new iterations of this series. I will continue to comment on this and future
patchsets as a courtesy to my former colleagues and the community.
Thanks for pointing out the sysfs issue. My suggestion on how to address it is:
1. Reserve config and config1 for architectural format attributes and
config2 for extension format attributes.
2. Add a struct attribute ** parameter to the extension init function so
extensions can return the new attributes.
3. The extension framework code in arm_pmu_acpi.c can then allocate a new
attribute array to contain the base and extension attributes and ensure
all the new attributes are on config2.
Though a more elaborate approach can be implemented to find conflicts in
bit usage within config fields, it would require much more code for a
relatively simple problem. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Agustín
