perf/x86/intel: Add support for PEBS memory auxiliary info field in DMR
With the introduction of the OMR feature, the PEBS memory auxiliary info
field for load and store latency events has been restructured for DMR.
The memory auxiliary info field's bit[8] indicates whether a L2 cache
miss occurred for a memory load or store instruction. If bit[8] is 0,
it signifies no L2 cache miss, and bits[7:0] specify the exact cache data
source (up to the L2 cache level). If bit[8] is 1, bits[7:0] represent
the OMR encoding, indicating the specific L3 cache or memory region
involved in the memory access. A significant enhancement is OMR encoding
provides up to 8 fine-grained memory regions besides the cache region.
A significant enhancement for OMR encoding is the ability to provide
up to 8 fine-grained memory regions in addition to the cache region,
offering more detailed insights into memory access regions.
For detailed information on the memory auxiliary info encoding, please
refer to section 16.2 "PEBS LOAD LATENCY AND STORE LATENCY FACILITY" in
the ISE documentation.
This patch ensures that the PEBS memory auxiliary info field is correctly
interpreted and utilized in DMR.

perf/x86/intel: Support the 4 new OMR MSRs introduced in DMR and NVL
Diamond Rapids (DMR) and Nova Lake (NVL) introduce an enhanced
Off-Module Response (OMR) facility, replacing the Off-Core Response (OCR)
Performance Monitoring of previous processors.
Legacy microarchitectures used the OCR facility to evaluate off-core and
multi-core off-module transactions. The newly named OMR facility improves
OCR capabilities for scalable coverage of new memory systems in
multi-core module systems.
Similar to OCR, 4 additional off-module configuration MSRs
(OFFMODULE_RSP_0 to OFFMODULE_RSP_3) are introduced to specify attributes
of off-module transactions. When multiple identical OMR events are
created, they need to occupy the same OFFMODULE_RSP_x MSR. To ensure
these multiple identical OMR events can work simultaneously, the
intel_alt_er() and intel_fixup_er() helpers are enhanced to rotate these
OMR events across different OFFMODULE_RSP_* MSRs, similar to previous OCR
events.
For more details about OMR, please refer to section 16.1 "OFF-MODULE

Add APIs (exported only for KVM) to switch PMIs to the dedicated mediated
PMU IRQ vector when loading guest context, and back to perf's standard NMI
when the guest context is put. I.e. route PMIs to
PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMI_VECTOR when the guest context is active, and to
NMIs while the host context is active.
While running with guest context loaded, ignore all NMIs (in perf). Any
NMI that arrives while the LVTPC points at the mediated PMU IRQ vector
can't possibly be due to a host perf event.
perf/x86/core: Register a new vector for handling mediated guest PMIs
Wire up system vector 0xf5 for handling PMIs (i.e. interrupts delivered
through the LVTPC) while running KVM guests with a mediated PMU. Perf
currently delivers all PMIs as NMIs, e.g. so that events that trigger while
IRQs are disabled aren't delayed and generate useless records, but due to
the multiplexing of NMIs throughout the system, correctly identifying NMIs
for a mediated PMU is practically infeasible.
To (greatly) simplify identifying guest mediated PMU PMIs, perf will
switch the CPU's LVTPC between PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMI_VECTOR and NMI when
guest PMU context is loaded/put. I.e. PMIs that are generated by the CPU
while the guest is active will be identified purely based on the IRQ
vector.
Route the vector through perf, e.g. as opposed to letting KVM attach a
handler directly a la posted interrupt notification vectors, as perf owns
the LVTPC and thus is the rightful owner of PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMI_VECTOR.
Functionally, having KVM directly own the vector would be fine (both KVM
and perf will be completely aware of when a mediated PMU is active), but
would lead to an undesirable split in ownership: perf would be responsible
for installing the vector, but not handling the resulting IRQs.
Add a new perf_guest_info_callbacks hook (and static call) to allow KVM to
register its handler with perf when running guests with mediated PMUs.
Note, because KVM always runs guests with host IRQs enabled, there is no
danger of a PMI being delayed from the guest's perspective due to using a
regular IRQ instead of an NMI.

perf: Add APIs to create/release mediated guest vPMUs
Currently, exposing PMU capabilities to a KVM guest is done by emulating
guest PMCs via host perf events, i.e. by having KVM be "just" another user
of perf. As a result, the guest and host are effectively competing for
resources, and emulating guest accesses to vPMU resources requires
expensive actions (expensive relative to the native instruction). The
overhead and resource competition results in degraded guest performance
and ultimately very poor vPMU accuracy.
To address the issues with the perf-emulated vPMU, introduce a "mediated
vPMU", where the data plane (PMCs and enable/disable knobs) is exposed
directly to the guest, but the control plane (event selectors and access
to fixed counters) is managed by KVM (via MSR interceptions). To allow
host perf usage of the PMU to (partially) co-exist with KVM/guest usage
of the PMU, KVM and perf will coordinate to a world switch between host
perf context and guest vPMU context near VM-Enter/VM-Exit.
Add two exported APIs, perf_{create,release}_mediated_pmu(), to allow KVM
to create and release a mediated PMU instance (per VM). Because host perf
context will be deactivated while the guest is running, mediated PMU usage
will be mutually exclusive with perf analysis of the guest, i.e. perf
events that do NOT exclude the guest will not behave as expected.
To avoid silent failure of !exclude_guest perf events, disallow creating a
mediated PMU if there are active !exclude_guest events, and on the perf
side, disallowing creating new !exclude_guest perf events while there is
at least one active mediated PMU.
Exempt PMU resources that do not support mediated PMU usage, i.e. that are
outside the scope/view of KVM's vPMU and will not be swapped out while the
guest is running.
Guard mediated PMU with a new kconfig to help readers identify code paths
that are unique to mediated PMU support, and to allow for adding arch-
specific hooks without stubs. KVM x86 is expected to be the only KVM
architecture to support a mediated PMU in the near future (e.g. arm64 is
trending toward a partitioned PMU implementation), and KVM x86 will select
PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMU unconditionally, i.e. won't need stubs.

security_perf_event_alloc() fails or is never reached is functionality ok.

perf: Skip pmu_ctx based on event_type
To optimize the cgroup context switch, the perf_event_pmu_context
iteration skips the PMUs without cgroup events. A bool cgroup was
introduced to indicate the case. It can work, but this way is hard to
extend for other cases, e.g. skipping non-mediated PMUs. It doesn't
make sense to keep adding bool variables.
Pass the event_type instead of the specific bool variable. Check both
the event_type and related pmu_ctx variables to decide whether skipping
a PMU.
Event flags, e.g., EVENT_CGROUP, should be cleard in the ctx->is_active.
Add EVENT_FLAGS to indicate such event flags.
No functional change.

bug: Let report_bug_entry() provide the correct bugaddr
report_bug_entry() always provides zero for bugaddr but could easily
extract the correct address from the provided bug_entry. Just do that to
have proper warning messages.
E.g. adding an artificial:
void foo(void) { WARN_ONCE(1, "bar"); }
function generates this warning message:
WARNING: arch/s390/kernel/setup.c:1017 at 0x0, CPU#0: swapper/0/0

With the correct bug address this changes to:
WARNING: arch/s390/kernel/setup.c:1017 at foo+0x1c/0x40, CPU#0: swapper/0/0

perf/x86/intel: Fix NULL event dereference crash in handle_pmi_common()
handle_pmi_common() may observe an active bit set in cpuc->active_mask
while the corresponding cpuc->events[] entry has already been cleared,
which leads to a NULL pointer dereference.
This can happen when interrupt throttling stops all events in a group
while PEBS processing is still in progress. perf_event_overflow() can
trigger perf_event_throttle_group(), which stops the group and clears
the cpuc->events[] entry, but the active bit may still be set when
handle_pmi_common() iterates over the events.
The following recent fix:
7e772a93eb61 ("perf/x86: Fix NULL event access and potential PEBS record loss")
moved the cpuc->events[] clearing from x86_pmu_stop() to x86_pmu_del() and
relied on cpuc->active_mask/pebs_enabled checks. However,
handle_pmi_common() can still encounter a NULL cpuc->events[] entry
despite the active bit being set.
Add an explicit NULL check on the event pointer before using it,
to cover this legitimate scenario and avoid the NULL dereference crash.

When CONFIG_PM and CONFIG_PM_SLEEP are unset, SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS()
and SET_RUNTIME_PM_OPS() evaluate to nothing, so these functions appear
unused to the compiler in this configuration.
Use the modern SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS and RUNTIME_PM_OPS macros to resolve
these warnings, which is what they are intended to do. Additionally,
wrap &cix_ipbloq_hda_pm in pm_ptr() to ensure the compiler can drop the
entire structure when CONFIG_PM is unset.

ocfs2: invalidate inode if i_mode is zero after block read
A panic occurs in ocfs2_unlink due to WARN_ON(inode->i_nlink == 0) when
handling a corrupted inode with i_mode=0 and i_nlink=0 in memory.
This "zombie" inode is created because ocfs2_read_locked_inode proceeds
even after ocfs2_validate_inode_block successfully validates a block that
structurally looks okay (passes checksum, signature etc.) but contains
semantically invalid data (specifically i_mode=0). The current validation
function doesn't check for i_mode being zero.
This results in an in-memory inode with i_mode=0 being added to the VFS
cache, which later triggers the panic during unlink.
Prevent this by adding an explicit check for (i_mode == 0, i_nlink == 0,
non-orphan) within ocfs2_validate_inode_block. If the check is true,
return -EFSCORRUPTED to signal corruption. This causes the caller
(ocfs2_read_locked_inode) to invoke make_bad_inode(), correctly preventing
the zombie inode from entering the cache.
