The armpmu uses get_event_idx callback to allocate an event
counter for a given event, which marks the selected counter
as "used". Now, when we delete the counter, the arm_pmu goes
ahead and clears the "used" bit and then invokes the "clear_event_idx"
call back, which kind of splits the job between the core code
and the backend. To keep things tidy, mandate the implementation
of clear_event_idx() and add it for exisiting backends.
This will be useful for adding the chained event support, where
we leave the event idx maintenance to the backend.
Also, when an event is removed from the PMU, reset the hw.idx
to indicate that a counter is not allocated for this event,
to help the backends do better checks. This will be also used
for the chain counter support.

The arm_pmu::handle_irq() callback has the same prototype as a generic
IRQ handler, taking the IRQ number and a void pointer argument which it
must convert to an arm_pmu pointer.
This means that all arm_pmu::handle_irq() take an IRQ number they never
use, and all must explicitly cast the void pointer to an arm_pmu
pointer.
Instead, let's change arm_pmu::handle_irq to take an arm_pmu pointer,
allowing these casts to be removed. The redundant IRQ number parameter
is also removed.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The perf userspace tools can't handle dashes or spaces in PMU names,
which conflicts with the current naming scheme in the arm perf backend.
This prevents these PMUs from being accessed by name from the perf
tools. Additionally the ARMv6 pmus are named "v6", which does not fully
distinguish them in the sys/bus/event_source namespace.
This patch renames the PMUs consistently to a lower case form with
underscores, e.g. "armv6_1176", "armv7_cortex_a9". This is both readily
accepted by today's perf tool, and far easier to type than the
(apparently unused) convention in use previously. The OProfile name
conversion code is updated to handle this.
Due to a copy-paste error involving two "xscale1" entries, "xscale2" has
never been matched by the name OProfile name mapping. While we're

The CPU PMU is probed using the current cpuid information as part of the
early_initcall initialising the architecture perf backend. For
architectures without NMI (such as ARM), this does not need to be
performed early and can be deferred to the driver probe callback. This
also allows us to probe the devicetree in preference to parsing the
current cpuid, which may be invalid on a big.LITTLE multi-cluster
system.
This patch defers the PMU probing and uses the devicetree information
when available.

In order to provide PMU name strings compatible with the OProfile
user ABI, an enumeration of all PMUs is currently used by perf to
identify each PMU uniquely. Unfortunately, this does not scale well
in the presence of multiple PMUs and creates a single, global namespace
across all PMUs in the system.
This patch removes the enumeration and instead uses the name string
for the PMU to map onto the OProfile variant. perf_pmu_name is
implemented for CPU PMUs, which is all that OProfile cares about anyway.

On ARM, the PMU does not stop counting after an overflow and therefore
IRQ latency affects the new counter value read by the kernel. This is
significant for non-sampling runs where it is possible for the new value
to overtake the previous one, causing the delta to be out by up to
max_period events.
Commit a737823d ("ARM: 6835/1: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due
to IRQ latency") attempted to fix this problem by allowing interrupt
handlers to pass an overflow flag to the event update function, causing
the overflow calculation to assume that the counter passed through zero
when going from prev to new. Unfortunately, this doesn't work when
overflow occurs on the perf_task_tick path because we have the flag
cleared and end up computing a large negative delta.
This patch removes the overflow flag from armpmu_event_update and
instead limits the sample_period to half of the max_period for
non-sampling profiling runs.

Currently struct cpu_hw_events stores data on events running on a
PMU associated with a CPU. As this data is general enough to be used
for system PMUs, this name is a misnomer, and may cause confusion when
it is used for system PMUs.
Additionally, 'armpmu' is commonly used as a parameter name for an
instance of struct arm_pmu. The name is also used for a global instance
which represents the CPU's PMU.
As cpu_hw_events is now not tied to CPU PMUs, it is renamed to
pmu_hw_events, with instances of it renamed similarly. As the global
'armpmu' is CPU-specfic, it is renamed to cpu_pmu. This should make it
clearer which code is generic, and which is coupled with the CPU.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

If a counter overflows during a perf stat profiling run it may overtake
the last known value of the counter:

In this case, the number of events that have occurred is
(0xffffffff - prev) + new. Unfortunately, the event update code will
not realise an overflow has occurred and will instead report the event
delta as (new - prev) which may be considerably smaller than the real
count.
This patch adds an extra argument to armpmu_event_update which indicates

The ARM perf_event.c file contains all PMU backends and, as new PMUs
are introduced, will continue to grow.
This patch follows the example of x86 and splits the PMU implementations
into separate files which are then #included back into the main
file. Compile-time guards are added to each PMU file to avoid compiling
in code that is not relevant for the version of the architecture which
we are targetting.
