[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.17-6.6] drivers/perf: hisi: Relax the event ID check in the framework

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Yicong Yang <yangyicong@hisilicon.com>

[ Upstream commit 43de0ac332b815cf56dbdce63687de9acfd35d49 ]

Event ID is only using the attr::config bit [7, 0] but we check the
event range using the whole 64bit field. It blocks the usage of the
rest field of attr::config. Relax the check by only using the
bit [7, 0].

## Backport Analysis: HiSilicon PMU Event ID Check Fix

**Backport Recommendation: YES**

### Detailed Analysis

#### Bug Being Fixed

The commit fixes an overly restrictive validation bug in
`hisi_uncore_pmu_event_init()` at
**drivers/perf/hisilicon/hisi_uncore_pmu.c:237**.

**Original code:**
```c
if (event->attr.config > hisi_pmu->check_event)
    return -EINVAL;
```

**Fixed code:**
```c
if ((event->attr.config & HISI_EVENTID_MASK) > hisi_pmu->check_event)
    return -EINVAL;
```

Where `HISI_EVENTID_MASK = GENMASK(7, 0) = 0xFF`.

#### Root Cause Analysis

1. **Event ID Layout:** HiSilicon uncore PMUs use only bits [7:0] of
   `attr.config` for the event ID. This is evident from format
   attributes across all drivers:
   - `hisi_uncore_l3c_pmu.c:386`: `"config:0-7"`
   - `hisi_uncore_hha_pmu.c:336`: `"config:0-7"`
   - `hisi_uncore_pa_pmu.c:304`: `"config:0-7"`
   - `hisi_uncore_sllc_pmu.c:368`: `"config:0-7"`
   - `hisi_uncore_uc_pmu.c:402`: `"config:0-7"`
   - `hisi_uncore_ddrc_pmu.c:272`: `"config:0-4"` (V1) and
     `"config:0-7"` (V2)
   - `hisi_uncore_cpa_pmu.c:205`: `"config:0-15"` (exception)

2. **Incorrect Validation:** The validation was comparing the entire
   64-bit `attr.config` value against `check_event` (typically 0xFF for
   8-bit event IDs), which would incorrectly reject valid event
   configurations if any upper bits were set.

3. **Blocking Future Extensions:** The commit message explicitly states:
   "It blocks the usage of the rest field of attr::config." This
   indicates that upper bits of `attr.config` may be needed for
   additional configuration parameters beyond the base event ID.

#### Scope of Impact

This fix affects all HiSilicon uncore PMU drivers that use the shared
`hisi_pmu_init()` function, which sets `pmu->event_init =
hisi_uncore_pmu_event_init` (at **hisi_uncore_pmu.c:610**):

- L3C PMU (L3 Cache)
- HHA PMU (Hydra Home Agent)
- DDRC PMU (DDR Controller)
- PA PMU (Protocol Adapter)
- SLLC PMU (Super L3 Cache)
- UC PMU (Uncore)
- CPA PMU (Coherent Protocol Agent)

#### Code Changes Analysis

**File 1: drivers/perf/hisilicon/hisi_uncore_pmu.c**
- **Line 237:** Mask `attr.config` with `HISI_EVENTID_MASK` before
  comparison
- **Impact:** Only validates event ID bits [7:0], allowing upper bits
  for other purposes

**File 2: drivers/perf/hisilicon/hisi_uncore_pmu.h**
- **Line 46:** Define `HISI_EVENTID_MASK` as `GENMASK(7, 0)`
- **Line 47:** Update `HISI_GET_EVENTID` macro to use the new mask
  (consistency improvement)
- **Impact:** Provides centralized, self-documenting definition of event
  ID field

#### Backport Suitability Assessment

**Positive Factors:**
1. ✅ **Fixes a clear bug:** Incorrect validation logic blocking
   legitimate use cases
2. ✅ **Small and contained:** Only 5 lines changed across 2 files
3. ✅ **Low regression risk:** The change makes validation less strict,
   not more strict
4. ✅ **Well-reviewed:** Acked by Jonathan Cameron (prominent kernel
   maintainer)
5. ✅ **No dependencies:** Self-contained fix with no related commits
6. ✅ **Driver-level fix:** Affects only HiSilicon PMU drivers, not core
   kernel
7. ✅ **Minimal side effects:** Only affects event validation path during
   initialization

**Risk Assessment:**
- **Regression risk:** Very low - relaxing validation cannot break
  working configurations
- **Functional risk:** None - the fix enables correct behavior
- **Architectural risk:** None - no architectural changes
- **Dependency risk:** None - no follow-up fixes or related patches
  required

**Follows Stable Tree Rules:**
- ✅ Fixes an important bug affecting users of HiSilicon hardware
- ✅ Small, obvious, and correct change
- ✅ No new features introduced
- ✅ Minimal risk of regression
- ✅ Confined to specific driver subsystem

### Conclusion

This commit is an **excellent candidate for backporting** to stable
kernel trees. It fixes a genuine validation bug that prevents legitimate
usage of the perf event configuration interface on HiSilicon hardware.
The fix is minimal, well-contained, properly reviewed, and carries
virtually no regression risk.
