Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
"A minor fix to our IMC PMU code to print a less confusing error
message when the driver can't initialise properly.
A fix for a bug where a user requesting an unsupported branch sampling
filter can corrupt PMU state, preventing the PMU from counting
properly.
And finally a fix for a bug in our support for kexec_file_load(),
which prevented loading a kernel and initramfs. Most versions of kexec
don't yet use kexec_file_load().
Thanks to: Anju T Sudhakar, Dave Young, Madhavan Srinivasan, Ravi
Bangoria, Thiago Jung Bauermann"

Consider a scenario where user creates two events:
1st event:
attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK;
attr.branch_sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY;
fd = perf_event_open(attr, 0, 1, -1, 0);
This sets cpuhw->bhrb_filter to 0 and returns valid fd.
2nd event:
attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK;
attr.branch_sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL;
fd = perf_event_open(attr, 0, 1, -1, 0);
It overrides cpuhw->bhrb_filter to -1 and returns with error.
Now if power_pmu_enable() gets called by any path other than
power_pmu_add(), ppmu->config_bhrb(-1) will set MMCRA to -1.

Comment explanning the raw event code encoding for Power8 was
moved to isa207_common.h file when re-factoring the code to
support power9. But then Power9 pmu branched out due to changes
specific to power9. So move the encoding comment back to power8-pmu.c

There are some hardware events on Power systems which only count when
the processor is not idle, and there are some fixed-function counters
which count such events. For example, the "run cycles" event counts
cycles when the processor is not idle. If the user asks to count
cycles, we can use "run cycles" if this is a per-task event, since the
processor is running when the task is running, by definition. We can't
use "run cycles" if the user asks for "cycles" on a system-wide
counter.
Currently in power8 this check is done using PPMU_ONLY_COUNT_RUN flag
in power8_get_alternatives() function. Based on the flag, events are
switched if needed. This function should also be enabled in power9, so
factor out the code to isa207_get_alternatives().

Patch add "mem_access" event to sysfs. This as-is not a raw event
supported by Power8 pmu. Instead, it is formed based on
raw event encoding specificed in isa207-common.h.
Primary PMU event used here is PM_MRK_INST_CMPL.
This event tracks only the completed marked instructions.
Random sampling mode (MMCRA[SM]) with Random Instruction
Sampling (RIS) is enabled to mark type of instructions.
With Random sampling in RLS mode with PM_MRK_INST_CMPL event,
the LDST /DATA_SRC fields in SIER identifies the memory
hierarchy level (eg: L1, L2 etc) statisfied a data-cache
miss for a marked instruction.

Power8 supports a large number of events in each susbystem so when a
user runs:
perf stat -e branch-instructions sleep 1
perf stat -e L1-dcache-loads sleep 1
it is not clear as to which PMU events were monitored.
Export the generic hardware and cache perf events for Power8 to sysfs,
so users can precisely determine the PMU event monitored by the generic
event.
Eg:
cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/events/branch-instructions
event=0x10068
$ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/events/L1-dcache-loads
event=0x100ee

Commit 7a7868326d77 ("powerpc/perf: Add an explict flag indicating
presence of SLOT field") introduced the PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag to remove
the assumption that MMCRA[SLOT] was present when PPMU_ALT_SIPR was not
set.
That commit's changelog also mentions that Power8 does not support
MMCRA[SLOT]. However when the Power8 PMU support was merged, it
errnoeously included the PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag.
So remove PPMU_HAS_SSLOT from the Power8 flags.
mpe: On systems where MMCRA[SLOT] exists, the field occupies bits 37:39
(IBM numbering). On Power8 bit 37 is reserved, and 38:39 overlap with
the high bits of the Threshold Event Counter Mantissa. I am not aware of
any published events which use the threshold counting mechanism, which
would cause the mantissa bits to be set. So in practice this bug is
unlikely to trigger.

Power8 has a new register (MMCR2), which contains individual freeze bits
for each counter. This is an improvement on previous chips as it means
we can have multiple events on the PMU at the same time with different
exclude_{user,kernel,hv} settings. Previously we had to ensure all
events on the PMU had the same exclude settings.
The core of the patch is fairly simple. We use the 207S feature flag to
indicate that the PMU backend supports per-event excludes, if it's set
we skip the generic logic that enforces the equality of excludes between
events. We also use that flag to skip setting the freeze bits in MMCR0,
the PMU backend is expected to have handled setting them in MMCR2.
The complication arises with EBB. The FCxP bits in MMCR2 are accessible
R/W to a task using EBB. Which means a task using EBB will be able to
see that we are using MMCR2 for freezing, whereas the old logic which
used MMCR0 is not user visible.
The task can not see or affect exclude_kernel & exclude_hv, so we only
need to consider exclude_user.
The table below summarises the behaviour both before and after this
commit is applied:
exclude_user true false
------------------------------------
| User visible | N N
Before | Can freeze | Y Y
| Can unfreeze | N Y
------------------------------------
| User visible | Y Y
After | Can freeze | Y Y
| Can unfreeze | Y/N Y
------------------------------------
So firstly I assert that the simple visibility of the exclude_user
setting in MMCR2 is a non-issue. The event belongs to the task, and
was most likely created by the task. So the exclude_user setting is not
privileged information in any way.
Secondly, the behaviour in the exclude_user = false case is unchanged.
This is important as it is the case that is actually useful, ie. the
event is created with no exclude setting and the task uses MMCR2 to
implement exclusion manually.
For exclude_user = true there is no meaningful change to freezing the
event. Previously the task could use MMCR2 to freeze the event, though
it was already frozen with MMCR0. With the new code the task can use
MMCR2 to freeze the event, though it was already frozen with MMCR2.
The only real change is when exclude_user = true and the task tries to
use MMCR2 to unfreeze the event. Previously this had no effect, because
the event was already frozen in MMCR0. With the new code the task can
unfreeze the event in MMCR2, but at some indeterminate time in the
future the kernel will overwrite its setting and refreeze the event.
Therefore my final assertion is that any task using exclude_user = true
and also fiddling with MMCR2 was deeply confused before this change, and
remains so after it.

Currently we reject events which have the L3 bank == 1, such as
0x000084918F, because the cache field is non-zero.
However that is incorrect, because although the bank is non-zero, the
value we would write into MMCRC is zero, and so we can count the event.
So fix the check to ignore the bank selector when checking whether the
cache selector is non-zero.

We want a way for users of EBB (Event Based Branches) to also access the
BHRB (Branch History Rolling Buffer). EBB does not interoperate with our
existing BHRB support, which is wired into the generic Linux branch
stack sampling support.
To support EBB & BHRB we add three new bits to the event code. The first
bit indicates that the event wants access to the BHRB, and the other two
bits indicate the desired IFM (Instruction Filtering Mode).
We allow multiple events to request access to the BHRB, but they must
agree on the IFM value. Events which are not interested in the BHRB can
also interoperate with events which do.
Finally we program the desired IFM value into MMCRA. Although we do this
for every event, we know that the value will be identical for all events
that request BHRB access.

Commit 4df4899 "Add power8 EBB support" included a bug in the handling
of the FAB_CRESP_MATCH and FAB_TYPE_MATCH fields.
These values are pulled out of the event code using EVENT_THR_CTL_SHIFT,
however we were then or'ing that value directly into MMCR1.
This meant we were failing to set the FAB fields correctly, and also
potentially corrupting the value for PMC4SEL. Leading to no counts for
the FAB events and incorrect counts for PMC4.
The fix is simply to shift left the FAB value correctly before or'ing it
with MMCR1.

Completely ignore BHRB privilege state filter request as we are
already configuring that with privilege state filtering attribute
for the accompanying PMU event. This would help achieve cleaner
user space interaction for BHRB.
This patch fixes a situation like this
Before patch:-
------------
./perf record -j any -e branch-misses:k ls
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 95 (Operation not
supported) for event (branch-misses:k).
/bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
Here 'perf record' actually copies over ':k' filter request into BHRB
privilege state filter config and our previous check in kernel would
fail that.
After patch:-
-------------
./perf record -j any -e branch-misses:k ls
perf perf.data perf.data.old test-mmap-ring
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB perf.data (~102 samples)]
