As reported in [1], the use of smp_processor_id() in
pmu_sbi_device_probe() must be protected by disabling the preemption, so
simple use get_cpu()/put_cpu() instead.

<title>perf: riscv: Fix selecting counters in legacy mode</title>

It is required to check event type before checking event config.
Events with the different types can have the same config.
This check is missed for legacy mode code

For such perf usage:
    sysctl -w kernel.perf_user_access=2
    perf stat -e cycles,L1-dcache-loads --
driver will try to force both events to CYCLE counter.

This commit implements event type check before forcing
events on the special counters.

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function
signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table
structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function
pointers cannot be modified.

This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script:

Charlie Jenkins &lt;charlie@rivosinc.com&gt; says:

All extensions, both standard and vendor, live in one struct
"riscv_isa_ext". There is currently one vendor extension, xandespmu, but
it is likely that more vendor extensions will be added to the kernel in
the future. As more vendor extensions (and standard extensions) are
added, riscv_isa_ext will become more bloated with a mix of vendor and
standard extensions.

This also allows each vendor to be conditionally enabled through
Kconfig.

Vendor extensions are maintained in per-vendor structs (separate from
standard extensions which live in riscv_isa). Create vendor variants for
the existing extension helpers to interface with the riscv_isa_vendor

Instead of grouping all vendor extensions into the same riscv_isa_ext
that standard instructions use, create a struct
"riscv_isa_vendor_ext_data_list" that allows each vendor to maintain
their vendor extensions independently of the standard extensions.
xandespmu is currently the only vendor extension so that is the only
extension that is affected by this change.

An additional benefit of this is that the extensions of each vendor can
be conditionally enabled. A config RISCV_ISA_VENDOR_EXT_ANDES has been
added to allow for that.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "The biggest part is the virtual CPU hotplug that touches ACPI,
  irqchip. We also have some GICv3 optimisation for pseudo-NMIs that has
  been queued via the arm64 tree. Otherwise the usual perf updates,
  kselftest, various small cleanups.

  Core:

   - Virtual CPU hotplug support for arm64 ACPI systems

   - cpufeature infrastructure cleanups and making the FEAT_ECBHB ID
     bits visible to guests

   - CPU errata: expand the speculative SSBS workaround to more CPUs

   - GICv3, use compile-time PMR values: optimise the way regular IRQs
     are masked/unmasked when GICv3 pseudo-NMIs are used, removing the

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "The biggest part is the virtual CPU hotplug that touches ACPI,
  irqchip. We also have some GICv3 optimisation for pseudo-NMIs that has
  been queued via the arm64 tree. Otherwise the usual perf updates,
  kselftest, various small cleanups.

  Core:

   - Virtual CPU hotplug support for arm64 ACPI systems

   - cpufeature infrastructure cleanups and making the FEAT_ECBHB ID
     bits visible to guests

   - CPU errata: expand the speculative SSBS workaround to more CPUs

   - GICv3, use compile-time PMR values: optimise the way regular IRQs
     are masked/unmasked when GICv3 pseudo-NMIs are used, removing the
     need for a static key in fast paths by using a priority value
     chosen dynamically at boot time

<title>perf: RISC-V: Check standard event availability</title>

<id>16d3b1af0944cd0e4eae291ab0097c54ecbc1048</id>
<content type='text'>
The RISC-V SBI PMU specification defines several standard hardware and
cache events. Currently, all of these events are exposed to userspace,
even when not actually implemented. They appear in the `perf list`
output, and commands like `perf stat` try to use them.

This is more than just a cosmetic issue, because the PMU driver's .add
function fails for these events, which causes pmu_groups_sched_in() to
prematurely stop scheduling in other (possibly valid) hardware events.

Add logic to check which events are supported by the hardware (i.e. can
be mapped to some counter), so only usable events are reported to
userspace. Since the kernel does not know the mapping between events and
possible counters, this check must happen during boot, when no counters
are in use. Make the check asynchronous to minimize impact on boot time.

Fixes: e9991434596f ("RISC-V: Add perf platform driver based on SBI PMU extension")
