perf/x86/intel/uncore: Parse uncore discovery tables

A self-describing mechanism for the uncore PerfMon hardware has been
introduced with the latest Intel platforms. By reading through an MMIO
page worth of information, perf can 'discover' all the standard uncore
PerfMon registers in a machine.

The discovery mechanism relies on BIOS's support. With a proper BIOS,
a PCI device with the unique capability ID 0x23 can be found on each
die. Perf can retrieve the information of all available uncore PerfMons
from the device via MMIO. The information is composed of one global
discovery table and several unit discovery tables.
- The global discovery table includes global uncore information of the
die, e.g., the address of the global control register, the offset of
the global status register, the number of uncore units, the offset of
unit discovery tables, etc.
- The unit discovery table includes generic uncore unit information,
e.g., the access type, the counter width, the address of counters,
the address of the counter control, the unit ID, the unit type, etc.
The unit is also called "box" in the code.
Perf can provide basic uncore support based on this information
with the following patches.

To locate the PCI device with the discovery tables, check the generic
PCI ID first. If it doesn't match, go through the entire PCI device tree
and locate the device with the unique capability ID.

The uncore information is similar among dies. To save parsing time and
space, only completely parse and store the discovery tables on the first
die and the first box of each die. The parsed information is stored in
an
RB tree structure, intel_uncore_discovery_type. The size of the stored
discovery tables varies among platforms. It's around 4KB for a Sapphire
Rapids server.

If a BIOS doesn't support the 'discovery' mechanism, the uncore driver
will exit with -ENODEV. There is nothing changed.

Add a module parameter to disable the discovery feature. If a BIOS gets
the discovery tables wrong, users can have an option to disable the
feature. For the current patchset, the uncore driver will exit with
-ENODEV. In the future, it may fall back to the hardcode uncore driver
on a known platform.

perf/x86/rapl: Move RAPL support to common x86 code

To prepare for support of both Intel and AMD RAPL.

As per the AMD PPR, Fam17h support Package RAPL counters to monitor power usage.
The RAPL counter operates as with Intel RAPL, and as such it is beneficial
to share the code.

No change in functionality.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

x86/perf/cqm: Wipe out perf based cqm

'perf cqm' never worked due to the incompatibility between perf
infrastructure and cqm hardware support. The hardware uses RMIDs to
track the llc occupancy of tasks and these RMIDs are per package. This
makes monitoring a hierarchy like cgroup along with monitoring of tasks
separately difficult and several patches sent to lkml to fix them were
NACKed. Further more, the following issues in the current perf cqm make
it almost unusable:

1. No support to monitor the same group of tasks for which we do
allocation using resctrl.

2. It gives random and inaccurate data (mostly 0s) once we run out
of RMIDs due to issues in Recycling.

3. Recycling results in inaccuracy of data because we cannot
guarantee that the RMID was stolen from a task when it was not
pulling data into cache or even when it pulled the least data. Also
for monitoring llc_occupancy, if we stop using an RMID_x and then
start using an RMID_y after we reclaim an RMID from an other event,
we miss accounting all the occupancy that was tagged to RMID_x at a
later perf_count.

2. Recycling code makes the monitoring code complex including
scheduling because the event can lose RMID any time. Since MBM
counters count bandwidth for a period of time by taking snap shot of
total bytes at two different times, recycling complicates the way we
count MBM in a hierarchy. Also we need a spin lock while we do the
processing to account for MBM counter overflow. We also currently
use a spin lock in scheduling to prevent the RMID from being taken
away.

4. Lack of support when we run different kind of event like task,
system-wide and cgroup events together. Data mostly prints 0s. This
is also because we can have only one RMID tied to a cpu as defined
by the cqm hardware but a perf can at the same time tie multiple
events during one sched_in.

5. No support of monitoring a group of tasks. There is partial support
for cgroup but it does not work once there is a hierarchy of cgroups
or if we want to monitor a task in a cgroup and the cgroup itself.

6. No support for monitoring tasks for the lifetime without perf
overhead.

7. It reported the aggregate cache occupancy or memory bandwidth over
all sockets. But most cloud and VMM based use cases want to know the
individual per-socket usage.

x86/perf/intel/rapl: Fix module name collision with powercap intel-rapl

Since commit 4b6e2571bf00 the rapl perf module calls itself intel-rapl. That
name was already in use by the rapl powercap driver, which now fails to load
if the perf module is loaded. Fix the problem by renaming the perf module to
intel-rapl-perf, so that both modules can coexist.
