From ca6f537e459e2da4b331fe8928d1a0b0f9301f42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2023 11:58:47 +0000 Subject: drivers/perf: pmuv3: don't expose SW_INCR event in sysfs The SW_INCR event is somewhat unusual, and depends on the specific HW counter that it is programmed into. When programmed into PMEVCNTR, SW_INCR will count any writes to PMSWINC_EL0 with bit n set, ignoring writes to SW_INCR with bit n clear. Event rotation means that there's no fixed relationship between perf_events and HW counters, so this isn't all that useful. Further, we program PMUSERENR.{SW,EN}=={0,0}, which causes EL0 writes to PMSWINC_EL0 to be trapped and handled as UNDEFINED, resulting in a SIGILL to userspace. Given that, it's not a good idea to expose SW_INCR in sysfs. Hide it as we did for CHAIN back in commit: 4ba2578fa7b55701 ("arm64: perf: don't expose CHAIN event in sysfs") Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Cc: Will Deacon Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231204115847.2993026-1-mark.rutland@arm.com Signed-off-by: Will Deacon --- drivers/perf/arm_pmuv3.c | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'drivers/perf') diff --git a/drivers/perf/arm_pmuv3.c b/drivers/perf/arm_pmuv3.c index c136a6529014..bbde60f1b08c 100644 --- a/drivers/perf/arm_pmuv3.c +++ b/drivers/perf/arm_pmuv3.c @@ -169,7 +169,11 @@ armv8pmu_events_sysfs_show(struct device *dev, PMU_EVENT_ATTR_ID(name, armv8pmu_events_sysfs_show, config) static struct attribute *armv8_pmuv3_event_attrs[] = { - ARMV8_EVENT_ATTR(sw_incr, ARMV8_PMUV3_PERFCTR_SW_INCR), + /* + * Don't expose the sw_incr event in /sys.
