Kan Liang ab6bb1c1f1 perf/x86/intel/ds: Fix x86_pmu_stop warning for large PEBS
[ Upstream commit 35d1ce6bec133679ff16325d335217f108b84871 ]

A warning as below may be triggered when sampling with large PEBS.

[  410.411250] perf: interrupt took too long (72145 > 71975), lowering
kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 2000

In the non-overflow context, e.g., context switch, with large PEBS, perf
may stop an event twice. An example is below.

  //max_samples_per_tick is adjusted to 2
  //NMI is triggered
  intel_pmu_handle_irq()
     handle_pmi_common()
       drain_pebs()
         __intel_pmu_pebs_event()
           perf_event_overflow()
             __perf_event_account_interrupt()
               hwc->interrupts = 1
               return 0
  //A context switch happens right after the NMI.
  //In the same tick, the perf_throttled_seq is not changed.
  perf_event_task_sched_out()
     perf_pmu_sched_task()
       intel_pmu_drain_pebs_buffer()
         __intel_pmu_pebs_event()
           perf_event_overflow()
             __perf_event_account_interrupt()
               ++hwc->interrupts >= max_samples_per_tick
               return 1
           x86_pmu_stop();  # First stop
     perf_event_context_sched_out()
       task_ctx_sched_out()
         ctx_sched_out()
           event_sched_out()
             x86_pmu_del()
               x86_pmu_stop();  # Second stop and trigger the warning

Perf should only invoke the perf_event_overflow() in the overflow
context.

Current drain_pebs() is called from:
- handle_pmi_common()			-- overflow context
- intel_pmu_pebs_sched_task()		-- non-overflow context
- intel_pmu_pebs_disable()		-- non-overflow context
- intel_pmu_auto_reload_read()		-- possible overflow context
  With PERF_SAMPLE_READ + PERF_FORMAT_GROUP, the function may be
  invoked in the NMI handler. But, before calling the function, the
  PEBS buffer has already been drained. The __intel_pmu_pebs_event()
  will not be called in the possible overflow context.

To fix the issue, an indicator is required to distinguish between the
overflow context aka handle_pmi_common() and other cases.
The dummy regs pointer can be used as the indicator.

In the non-overflow context, perf should treat the last record the same
as other PEBS records, and doesn't invoke the generic overflow handler.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
