commit 889c58b3155ff4c8e8671c95daef63d6fabbb6b1 upstream.

Audit of the refcounting turned up that perf_pmu_migrate_context()
fails to migrate the ctx refcount.

[ Upstream commit f06cc667f79909e9175460b167c277b7c64d3df0 ]

Namhyung reported that bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling")
regresses context switch overhead when perf-cgroup is in use together
with 'slow' PMUs like uncore.

Specifically, perf_cgroup_switch()'s perf_ctx_disable() /
ctx_sched_out() etc.. all iterate the full list of active PMUs for
that CPU, even if they don't have cgroup events.

Previously there was cgrp_cpuctx_list which linked the relevant PMUs
together, but that got lost in the rework. Instead of re-instruducing
a similar list, let the perf_event_pmu_context iteration skip those
that do not have cgroup events. This avoids growing multiple versions
of the perf_event_pmu_context iteration.

Measured performance (on a slightly different patch):

Before)

  $ taskset -c 0 ./perf bench sched pipe -l 10000 -G AAA,BBB
  # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
  # Executed 10000 pipe operations between two processes

       Total time: 0.901 [sec]

        90.128700 usecs/op
            11095 ops/sec

After)

  $ taskset -c 0 ./perf bench sched pipe -l 10000 -G AAA,BBB
  # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
  # Executed 10000 pipe operations between two processes

       Total time: 0.065 [sec]

         6.560100 usecs/op
           152436 ops/sec

<title>perf: Disallow mis-matched inherited group reads</title>

<id>urn:sha1:32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06</id>
<content type='text'>
Because group consistency is non-atomic between parent (filedesc) and children
(inherited) events, it is possible for PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read() to try and sum
non-matching counter groups -- with non-sensical results.

Add group_generation to distinguish the case where a parent group removes and
adds an event and thus has the same number, but a different configuration of
events as inherited groups.

This became a problem when commit fa8c269353d5 ("perf/core: Invert
perf_read_group() loops") flipped the order of child_list and sibling_list.
Previously it would iterate the group (sibling_list) first, and for each
sibling traverse the child_list. In this order, only the group composition of
the parent is relevant. By flipping the order the group composition of the
child (inherited) events becomes an issue and the mis-match in group
composition becomes evident.

That said; even prior to this commit, while reading of a group that is not
equally inherited was not broken, it still made no sense.

(Ab)use ECHILD as error return to indicate issues with child process group
composition.

<title>hw_breakpoint: fix single-stepping when using bpf_overflow_handler</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d11a69873d9a7435fe6a48531e165ab80a8b1221</id>
<content type='text'>
Arm platforms use is_default_overflow_handler() to determine if the
hw_breakpoint code should single-step over the breakpoint trigger or
let the custom handler deal with it.

Since bpf_overflow_handler() currently isn't recognized as a default
handler, attaching a BPF program to a PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event causes
it to keep firing (the instruction triggering the data abort exception
is never skipped). For example:

  # bpftrace -e 'watchpoint:0x10000:4:w { print("hit") }' -c ./test
  Attaching 1 probe...
  hit
  hit
  [...]
  ^C

(./test performs a single 4-byte store to 0x10000)

This patch replaces the check with uses_default_overflow_handler(),
which accounts for the bpf_overflow_handler() case by also testing
if one of the perf_event_output functions gets invoked indirectly,
via orig_default_handler.

Since commit bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling") the
relationship between perf_event_context and PMUs has changed so that
the error scenario that PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS originally
silenced no longer exists.

Remove the capability to avoid confusion that it actually influences
any perf core behavior and shift down the following capability bits to
fill in the unused space. This change should be a no-op.
