commit f952eaceb089b691eba7c4e13686e742a8f26bf5 upstream.
Intel PT uses IP compression based on the last IP. For decoding purposes,
'last IP' is not updated when a branch target has been suppressed, which is
indicated by IPBytes == 0. IPBytes is stored in the packet 'count', so
ensure never to set 'last_ip' when packet 'count' is zero.

commit 622b7a47b843c78626f40c1d1aeef8483383fba2 upstream.
The decoder will try to use branch packets to find an IP to start decoding
or to recover from errors. Currently the FUP packet is used only in the
case of an overflow, however there is no reason for that to be a special
case. So just use FUP always when scanning for an IP.

commit ee14ac0ef6827cd6f9a572cc83dd0191ea17812c upstream.
Intel PT uses IP compression based on the last IP. For decoding
purposes, 'last IP' is considered to be reset to zero whenever there is
a synchronization packet (PSB). The decoder wasn't doing that, and was
treating the zero value to mean that there was no last IP, whereas
compression can be done against the zero value. Fix by setting last_ip
to zero when a PSB is received and keep track of have_last_ip.

commit e1717e0485af4f47fc4da1e979ac817f9ad61b0f upstream.
The June 2015 Intel SDM introduced IP Compression types 4 and 6. Refer
to section 36.4.2.2 Target IP (TIP) Packet - IP Compression.
Existing Intel PT packet decoder did not support type 4, and got type 6
wrong. Because type 3 and type 4 have the same number of bytes, the
packet 'count' has been changed from being the number of ip bytes to
being the type code. That allows the Intel PT decoder to correctly
decide whether to sign-extend or use the last ip. However that also
meant the code had to be adjusted in a number of places.
Currently hardware is not using the new compression types, so this fix
has no effect on existing hardware.

commit 3f04d98e972b59706bd43d6cc75efac91f8fba50 upstream.
The decoder uses its current timestamp in samples. Usually that is a
timestamp that has already passed, but in some cases it is a timestamp
for a branch that the decoder is walking towards, and consequently
hasn't reached. Improve that situation by using the pkt_state to
determine when to use the current or previous timestamp.

The MTC packet provides a 8-bit slice of CTC which is related to TSC by
the TMA packet, however the TMA packet only provides the lower 16 bits
of CTC. If mtc_shift > 8 then some of the MTC bits are not in the CTC
provided by the TMA packet. Fix-up the last_mtc calculated from the TMA
packet by copying the missing bits from the current MTC assuming the
least difference between the two, and that the current MTC comes after
last_mtc.

In cycle-accurate mode, timestamps can be calculated from CYC packets.
The decoder also estimates timestamps based on the number of

happening, so fix it.

TSC packets contain only 7 bytes of TSC. The 8th byte is assumed to
change so infrequently that its value can be inferred. However the
logic must cater for a 7 byte wraparound, which it does by adding 1 to
the top byte.
The existing code was doing that with a while loop even though the
addition should only need to be done once. That logic won't work (will
loop forever) if TSC wraps around at the 8th byte. Theoretically that
would take at least 10 years, unless something else went wrong.
And what else could go wrong. Well, if the chunks of trace data are
processed out of order, it will make it look like the 7-byte TSC has
gone backwards (i.e. wrapped). If that happens 256 times then stuck in
the while loop it will be.
Fix that by getting rid of the unnecessary while loop.

The MPX instructions are presently not described in the SDM
opcode maps, and there are not encoding characters for bnd
registers, address method or operand type. So the kernel
opcode map is using 'Gv' for bnd registers and 'Ev' for
everything else. That is fine because the instruction
decoder does not use that information anyway, except as
an indication that there is a ModR/M byte.
Nevertheless, in some cases the 'Gv' and 'Ev' are the wrong
way around, BNDLDX and BNDSTX have 2 operands not 3, and it
wouldn't hurt to identify the mandatory prefixes.
This has no effect on the decoding of valid instructions,
but the addition of the mandatory prefixes will cause some
invalid instructions to error out that wouldn't have
previously.
Note that perf tools has a copy of the instruction decoder
and provides a test for new instructions which includes MPX
instructions e.g.
$ perf test "x86 ins"
39: Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions : Ok
Or to see the details:
$ perf test -v "x86 ins"

perf tools has a copy of the x86 instruction decoder used by the kernel.
The expectation is that the copy will be kept more-or-less in-synch with
the kernel version. Consequently it is helpful to know if there are
differences.
This patch adds a check into the perf tools build so that a diff is done
on the sources, and a warning is printed if they are different. Note
that the warning is not fatal and the build continues as normal.
The check is done as part of building the instruction decoder, so, like
a compiler warning, it is not seen unless the instruction decoder has to
be re-compiled. e.g.
$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null
$ echo "/* blah */" >> tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/inat_types.h
$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null

CYC packets provide even finer grain timestamp information than MTC and
TSC packets. A CYC packet contains the number of CPU cycles since the
last CYC packet.
This patch just adds decoder support. The CPU frequency can be related
to TSC using the Maximum Non-Turbo Ratio in combination with the CBR
(core-to-bus ratio) packet. However more accuracy is achieved by simply
interpolating the number of cycles between other timing packets like MTC
or TSC. This patch takes the latter approach.
Support for a default value and validation of values is provided by a
later patch. Also documentation is updated in a separate patch.
For details refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32

MTC packets provide finer grain timestamp information than TSC packets.
MTC packets record time using the hardware crystal clock (CTC) which is
related to TSC packets using a TMA packet.
This patch just adds decoder support.
Support for a default value and validation of values is provided by a
later patch. Also documentation is updated in a separate patch.

Record additional information in the AUXTRACE_INFO event in preparation
for decoding MTC and CYC packets. Pass the information to the decoder.
The AUXTRACE_INFO record can be extended by using the size to indicate
the presence of new members.
The additional information includes PMU config bit positions and the TSC
to CTC (hardware crystal clock) ratio needed to decode MTC packets.

New features have been added to Intel PT which include a number of new
packet definitions.
This patch adds packet definitions for new packets: TMA, MTC, CYC, VMCS,
TRACESTOP and MNT. Also another bit in PIP is defined.
This patch only adds support for the definitions. Later patches add
support for decoding TMA, MTC, CYC and TRACESTOP which is where those
packets are explained.
VMCS and the newly defined bit in PIP are used with virtualization which
is not supported yet. MNT is a maintenance packet which the decoder
should ignore.

Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

The period on synthesized 'instructions' samples was being set to a
fixed value, whereas the correct value is the number of instructions
since the last sample, which is a value that the decoder can provide.
So do it that way.

Add support for decoding an Intel Processor Trace.
Intel PT trace data must be 'decoded' which involves walking the object
code and matching the trace data packets.
The decoder requests a buffer of binary data via a get_trace()
call-back, which it decodes using instruction information which it gets
via another call-back walk_insn().

Add a facility to log Intel Processor Trace decoding. The log is
intended for debugging purposes only.
The log file name is "intel_pt.log" and is opened in the current
directory. The log contains a record of all packets and instructions
decoded and can get very large (10 MB would be a small one).

Add support for decoding instructions for Intel Processor Trace. The
kernel x86 instruction decoder is copied for this.
This essentially provides intel_pt_get_insn() which takes a binary
buffer, uses the kernel's x86 instruction decoder to get details of the
instruction and then categorizes it for consumption by an Intel PT
decoder.
