[PATCH V5 0/7] arm64/perf: Enable branch stack sampling

[Anshuman Khandual]

This series enables perf branch stack sampling support on arm64 platform
via a new arch feature called Branch Record Buffer Extension (BRBE). All
relevant register definitions could be accessed here.

https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0601/2021-12/AArch64-Registers

This series applies on v6.1-rc4.

Changes in V5:

- Changed BRBCR_EL1.VIRTUAL from 0b1 to 0b01
- Changed BRBFCR_EL1.EnL into BRBFCR_EL1.EnI
- Changed config ARM_BRBE_PMU from 'tristate' to 'bool'

Changes in V4:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221017055713.451092-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

- Changed ../tools/sysreg declarations as suggested
- Set PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK in data.sample_flags
- Dropped perfmon_capable() check in armpmu_event_init()
- s/pr_warn_once/pr_info in armpmu_event_init()
- Added brbe_format element into struct pmu_hw_events
- Changed v1p1 as brbe_v1p1 in struct pmu_hw_events
- Dropped pr_info() from arm64_pmu_brbe_probe(), solved LOCKDEP warning

Changes in V3:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220929075857.158358-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

- Moved brbe_stack from the stack and now dynamically allocated
- Return PERF_BR_PRIV_UNKNOWN instead of -1 in brbe_fetch_perf_priv()
- Moved BRBIDR0, BRBCR, BRBFCR registers and fields into tools/sysreg
- Created dummy BRBINF_EL1 field definitions in tools/sysreg
- Dropped ARMPMU_EVT_PRIV framework which cached perfmon_capable()
- Both exception and exception return branche records are now captured
  only if the event has PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_KERNEL which would already
  been checked in generic perf via perf_allow_kernel()

Changes in V2:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220908051046.465307-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

- Dropped branch sample filter helpers consolidation patch from this series 
- Added new hw_perf_event.flags element ARMPMU_EVT_PRIV to cache perfmon_capable()
- Use cached perfmon_capable() while configuring BRBE branch record filters

Changes in V1:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220613100119.684673-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

- Added CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS wrapper for all branch sample filter helpers
- Process new perf branch types via PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI

Changes in RFC V2:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220412115455.293119-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

- Added branch_sample_priv() while consolidating other branch sample filter helpers
- Changed all SYS_BRBXXXN_EL1 register definition encodings per Marc
- Changed the BRBE driver as per proposed BRBE related perf ABI changes (V5)
- Added documentation for struct arm_pmu changes, updated commit message
- Updated commit message for BRBE detection infrastructure patch
- PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_KERNEL gets checked during arm event init (outside the driver)
- Branch privilege state capture mechanism has now moved inside the driver
