PowerISA v3.1 introduces new control bit (PMCCEXT) for restricting access to group B PMU registers in problem state when MMCR0 PMCC=0b00. In problem state and when MMCR0 PMCC=0b00, setting the Monitor Mode Control Register bit 54 (MMCR0 PMCCEXT), will restrict read permission on Group B Performance Monitor Registers (SIER, SIAR, SDAR and MMCR1). When this bit is set to zero, group B registers will be readable. In other platforms (like power9), the older behaviour is retained where group B PMU SPRs are readable. Patch adds support for MMCR0 PMCCEXT bit in power10 by enabling this bit during boot and during the PMU event enable/disable callback functions.

There are event code updates for some of the generic events and cache events for power10. Inorder to maintain the current event codes work with DD1 also, create a new array of generic_events, cache_events and pmu_attr_groups with suffix _dd1, example, power10_events_attr_dd1. So that further updates to event codes can be made in the original list, ie, power10_events_attr. Update the power10 pmu init code to pick the dd1 list while registering the power PMU, based on the pvr (Processor Version Register) value.

The PMU group constraints mask for threshold events covers all thresholding bits which includes threshold control value (start/stop), select value as well as thresh_cmp value (MMCRA[9:18]. In power9, thresh_cmp bits were part of the event code. But in case of power10, thresh_cmp bits are not part of event code due to inclusion of MMCR3 bits. Hence thresh_cmp is not valid for group constraints for power10. Fix the PMU group constraints checking for threshold events in power10 by using constraint mask and value for only threshold control and select bits.

In Power9, L2/L3 bus events are always available as a "bank" of 4 events. To obtain the counts for any of the l2/l3 bus events in a given bank, the user will have to program PMC4 with corresponding l2/l3 bus event for that bank. Commit 59029136 ("powerpc/perf: Add constraints for power9 l2/l3 bus events") enforced this rule in Power9. But this is not valid for Power10, since in Power10 Monitor Mode Control Register2 (MMCR2) has bits to configure l2/l3 event bits. Hence remove this PMC4 constraint check from power10. Since the l2/l3 bits in MMCR2 are not per-pmc, patch handles group constrints checks for l2/l3 bits in MMCR2.

power10 uses bit 9 of the raw event code as RADIX_SCOPE_QUAL. This bit is used for enabling the radix process events. Patch fixes the PMU counter support functions to program bit 18 of MMCR1 ( Monitor Mode Control Register1 ) with the RADIX_SCOPE_QUAL bit value. Since this field is not per-pmc, add this to PMU group constraints to make sure events in a group will have same bit value for this field. Use bit 21 as constraint bit field for radix_scope_qual. Patch also updates the power10 raw event encoding layout information, format field and constraints bit layout to include the radix_scope_qual bit.

If FTR_BOOK3S_KUAP is disabled, kernel will continue to run with the same AMR value with which it was entered. Hence there is a high chance that we can return without restoring the AMR value. This also helps the case when applications are not using the pkey feature. In this case, different applications will have the same AMR values and hence we can avoid restoring AMR in this case too. Also avoid isync() if not really needed.

This prepare kernel to operate with a different value than userspace AMR/IAMR. For this, AMR/IAMR need to be saved and restored on entry and return from the kernel. With KUAP we modify kernel AMR when accessing user address from the kernel via copy_to/from_user interfaces. We don't need to modify IAMR value in similar fashion. If MMU_FTR_PKEY is enabled we need to save AMR/IAMR in pt_regs on entering kernel from userspace. If not we can assume that AMR/IAMR is not modified from userspace. We need to save AMR if we have MMU_FTR_BOOK3S_KUAP feature enabled and we are interrupted within kernel. This is required so that if we get interrupted within copy_to/from_user we continue with the right AMR value. If we hae MMU_FTR_BOOK3S_KUEP enabled we need to restore IAMR on return to userspace beause kernel will be running with a different IAMR value.

This patch consolidates UAMOR update across pkey, kuap and kuep features. The boot cpu initialize UAMOR via pkey init and both radix/hash do the secondary cpu UAMOR init in early_init_mmu_secondary. We don't check for mmu_feature in radix secondary init because UAMOR is a supported SPRN with all CPUs supporting radix translation. The old code was not updating UAMOR if we had smap disabled and smep enabled. This change handles that case.

With power7 and above we expect the cpu to support keys. The number of keys are firmware controlled based on device tree. PR KVM do not expose key details via device tree. Hence when running with PR KVM we do run with MMU_FTR_KEY support disabled. But we can still get updates on UAMOR.

Guests that can deal with machine checks would actually prefer the hypervisor not to try recover for them. For example if SLB multi-hits are recovered by the hypervisor by clearing the SLB then the guest will not be able to log the contents and debug its programming error. If guests don't register for FWNMI, they may not be so capable and so the hypervisor will continue to recover for those.

KVM has strategies to perform machine check recovery. If a MCE hits in a guest, have the low level handler just decode and save the MCE but not try to recover anything, so KVM can deal with it. The host does not own SLBs and does not need to report the SLB state in case of a multi-hit for example, or know about the virtual memory map of the guest. UE and memory poisoning of guest pages in the host is one thing that is possibly not completely robust at the moment, but this too needs to go via KVM (possibly via the guest and back out to host via hcall) rather than being handled at a low level in the host handler.

The driver core ignores the return value of struct device_driver::remove because there is only little that can be done. For the shutdown callback it's ps3_system_bus_shutdown() which ignores the return value. To simplify the quest to make struct device_driver::remove return void, let struct ps3_system_bus_driver::remove return void, too. All users already unconditionally return 0, this commit makes it obvious that returning an error code is a bad idea and ensures future users behave accordingly.

This static branch would be used in vcpu_is_preempted() in a subsequent patch.
