Changes since V3:
- Drop the SIMD registers if an NMI hits kernel mode for REGS_USER.
- Only dump the available regs, rather than zero and dump the
  unavailable regs. It's possible that the dumped registers are a subset
  of the requested registers.
- Some minor updates to address Dapeng's comments in V3.

Changes since V2:
- Use the FPU format for the x86_pmu.ext_regs_mask as well
- Add a check before invoking xsaves_nmi()
- Add perf_simd_reg_check() to retrieve the number of available
  registers. If the kernel fails to get the requested registers, e.g.,
  XSAVES fails, nothing dumps to the userspace (the V2 dumps all 0s).
- Add POC perf tool patches

Changes since V1:
- Apply the new interfaces to configure and dump the SIMD registers
- Utilize the existing FPU functions, e.g., xstate_calculate_size,
  get_xsave_addr().


This series adds support on x86 for sampling SIMD registers, APX eGPRs,
and SSP with both PMI-based and PEBS-based sampling.

Starting with Intel Ice Lake, PEBS can sample XMM registers, but PMI-based
XMM sampling is still not available. On newer Intel platforms with
architectural PEBS support, such as Clearwater Forest and Diamond Rapids,
the hardware also gains support for sampling additional SIMD state
(XMM/YMM/ZMM/OPMASK), APX extended GPRs, and SSP.

To support these registers consistently across both PMI and PEBS, this
series makes the following changes:

1. Adds a new perf_event_attr interface for SIMD register selection.
   The existing sample_regs_user/sample_regs_intr bitmaps do not have
   enough space to represent the full SIMD register set, so this series
   introduces dedicated fields for SIMD and predicate register masks and
   element widths.

2. Introduces a new sample data layout for SIMD register data.
   SIMD register payload is appended after the GPR payload, and a new ABI
   flag, PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD, indicates its presence.

3. Adds xsaves_nmi() to allow SIMD/eGPR/SSP sampling from PMI handlers in
   NMI context.

4. Extends the arch PEBS path to support YMM/ZMM/OPMASK, APX eGPRs, and
   SSP sampling.


New perf_event_attr fields
--------------------------

This series adds the following fields to perf_event_attr:

    /*
     * Defines the sampling SIMD/PRED(predicate) register bitmaps and
     * qword (8-byte) lengths.
     *
     * sample_simd_regs_enabled != 0 indicates SIMD/PRED registers are
     * requested. The register bitmaps and element sizes are described by:
     *
     *   sample_simd_{vec,pred}_reg_{intr,user}
     *   sample_simd_{vec,pred}_reg_qwords
     *
     * sample_simd_regs_enabled == 0 indicates no SIMD/PRED registers are
     * requested.
     */
    __u16 sample_simd_regs_enabled;
    __u16 sample_simd_pred_reg_qwords;
    __u16 sample_simd_vec_reg_qwords;
    __u16 __reserved_4;

    __u32 sample_simd_pred_reg_intr;
    __u32 sample_simd_pred_reg_user;
    __u64 sample_simd_vec_reg_intr;
    __u64 sample_simd_vec_reg_user;

Field semantics:
- sample_simd_vec_reg_qwords: qword count for regular SIMD registers
- sample_simd_pred_reg_qwords: qword count for predicate registers
- sample_simd_vec_reg_{intr,user}: SIMD register masks for
  PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR and PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER
- sample_simd_pred_reg_{intr,user}: predicate register masks for
  PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR and PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER
- sample_simd_regs_enabled: indicates whether the new SIMD fields are in use

Examples:

To sample ZMM registers for PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR:

    sample_simd_regs_enabled = 1
    sample_simd_vec_reg_qwords = 8          // 512 bits = 8 qwords
    sample_simd_vec_reg_intr = 0xffffffff   // zmm0-zmm31

To sample OPMASK registers for PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER:

    sample_simd_regs_enabled = 1
    sample_simd_pred_reg_qwords = 1         // 64 bits = 1 qword
    sample_simd_pred_reg_user = 0xff        // opmask0-opmask7

After introducing these fields, bits [63:32] in sample_regs_user and
sample_regs_intr are reclaimed for APX eGPRs and SSP instead of the
previous XMM0-XMM15 encoding.

Discussion of the new SIMD register interface is available at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250617081458.GI1613376@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net/

Sample data layout
------------------

SIMD register data is appended after the GPR data.

For PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER:

    { u64 abi;                      // enum perf_sample_regs_abi
      u64 regs[weight(mask)];
      struct {
            u64 nr_vectors;         // 0 ... weight(sample_simd_vec_reg_user)
            u64 vector_qwords;      // 0 ... sample_simd_vec_reg_qwords
            u64 nr_pred;            // 0 ... weight(sample_simd_pred_reg_user)
            u64 pred_qwords;        // 0 ... sample_simd_pred_reg_qwords
            u64 data[nr_vectors * vector_qwords +
                     nr_pred * pred_qwords];
      } && (abi & PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD)
    }

For PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR:

    { u64 abi;                      // enum perf_sample_regs_abi
      u64 regs[weight(mask)];
      struct {
            u64 nr_vectors;         // 0 ... weight(sample_simd_vec_reg_intr)
            u64 vector_qwords;      // 0 ... sample_simd_vec_reg_qwords
            u64 nr_pred;            // 0 ... weight(sample_simd_pred_reg_intr)
            u64 pred_qwords;        // 0 ... sample_simd_pred_reg_qwords
            u64 data[nr_vectors * vector_qwords +
                     nr_pred * pred_qwords];
      } && (abi & PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD)
    }

PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD indicates that SIMD register data is present.

The metadata fields are encoded as u64 to keep perf tool parsing and
cross-endian support straightforward.

The current approach initializes hybrid PMU structures immediately before
registering them. This is risky as it can lead to key fields, such as
'capabilities', being inadvertently overwritten.

Although no issues have arisen so far, this method is not ideal. It makes
the PMU structure fields susceptible to being overwritten, especially with
future changes that might initialize fields like 'capabilities' within
init_hybrid_pmu() called by x86_pmu_starting_cpu().

To mitigate this potential problem, move the default hybrid structure
initialization before calling x86_pmu_starting_cpu().

Modern PEBS hardware supports directly sampling XMM registers, then
large PEBS can be enabled for XMM registers just like other GPRs.

Currently, the drain_pebs() helpers, e.g., intel_pmu_drain_arch_pebs()
define an on-stack x86_perf_regs. Upcoming patches will add new fields
like *ymm_regs and *zmm_regs to the x86_perf_regs structure to support
sampling for these SIMD registers. This would increase the stack size
consumed by these helpers, potentially triggering the warning:

"the frame size of 1048 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes
 [-Wframe-larger-than=]".

To eliminate this warning, convert x86_perf_regs to per-cpu variables.

Please note drain_pebs() can't be interrupted by other NMIs since
either it's already in NMI context or PMU is already disabled.

Define default common __weak functions for perf_reg_value(),
perf_reg_validate(), perf_reg_abi() and perf_get_regs_user(). This helps
to eliminate the duplicated arch-specific definitions.

No function changes intended.

Support for sampling additional register state in NMI context
(e.g. vector registers and SSP) requires an x86-specific register
container. The generic pt_regs structure cannot represent all of
the required x86 register data, so switch x86 NMI handlers to
x86_perf_regs.

pt_regs is still passed to x86_pmu_handle_irq(), so there is no
functional change to existing handling.

AMD IBS NMI handling does not use x86_pmu_handle_irq(), so this
conversion does not apply to IBS. IBS support for extended register
sampling can be added separately in follow-up patches.

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

Add xsaves_nmi() to save supported xsave states in NMI handler.

This function is similar to xsaves(), but should only be called within
the NMI handler. This function returns the actual register contents at
the moment the NMI occurs.

Currently the perf subsystem is the sole user of this helper. It uses
this function to snapshot SIMD (XMM/YMM/ZMM) and APX eGPRs registers
which would be added in subsequent patches.

Add update_fpu_state_and_flag() as suggested by Peter and Dave.
The helper saves user FPU state and then sets TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD,
ensuring the task FPU state is saved whenever the flag is set.

Subsequent patches will use this guarantee in NMI context by checking
TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD before retrieving user FPU state from the saved
task FPU state.

Also add barrier() in the host/guest FPU state switch path and move
clearing of fpu->__task_fpstate after switching back to host state. So
fpu->__task_fpstate is always observed as host FPU state when non-NULL.

Move has_extended_regs() to include/linux/perf_event.h so it can be used
by arch-specific code.

While moving it, enhance the check logic and rename it to
event_has_extended_regs() to match existing perf event helper naming.

PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS is currently updated in multiple paths:
intel_ds_pebs_init() and __intel_update_pmu_caps() for adaptive and
architectural PEBS. This split makes the capability flow harder to
reason about and is awkward for upcoming XSAVES-based SIMD register
sampling, which also needs consistent capability setup and validation.

Refactor the update logic into a single helper,
__intel_update_pmu_xregs_caps(), so adaptive and architectural PEBS
share one implementation.

Call this helper from intel_update_pmu_caps() to keep PMU capability
handling centralized in one place and avoid duplicated or conflicting
updates.

Previously, XMM register sampling was only available for PEBS events
starting from Icelake. Extend the support to non-PEBS events using
the xsaves instruction, thereby completing the feature set.

To implement this, a 64-byte aligned buffer is required. A per-CPU
ext_regs_buf is introduced to store SIMD and other registers, with an
approximate size of 2K. The buffer is allocated using kzalloc_node(),
ensuring natural and 64-byte alignment for all kmalloc() allocations
with powers of 2.

XMM sampling for non-PEBS events is supported in the REGS_INTR case.
Support for REGS_USER will be added in a subsequent patch. For PEBS
events, XMM register sampling data is directly retrieved from PEBS
records.

Future support for additional vector registers (YMM/ZMM/OPMASK) is
planned. An ext_regs_mask is added to track the supported vector
register groups.

Support XMM register sampling for the REGS_USER case.

To handle simultaneous sampling of XMM registers for both REGS_INTR and
REGS_USER cases, a per-CPU x86_user_regs is introduced to store
REGS_USER-specific XMM registers. This prevents REGS_USER-specific XMM
register data from being overwritten by REGS_INTR-specific data if they
share the same x86_perf_regs structure.

To sample user-space XMM registers, the x86_pmu_update_user_xregs()
helper function is added. It checks if the user-space FPU state has been
cached into task FPU state. If so, the user-space XMM register data
can be directly retrieved from the cached task FPU state, as the
corresponding hardware registers have been cleared or switched to
kernel-space state or guest state. Otherwise, the data could be read
from the hardware registers using the xsaves instruction.

For PEBS events, x86_pmu_update_user_xregs() checks if the PEBS-sampled
XMM register data belongs to user-space. If so, no further action is
needed. Otherwise, the user-space XMM register data needs to be
re-sampled using the same method as for non-PEBS events.

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

Users may be interested in sampling SIMD registers during profiling.
The current sample_regs_* structure does not have sufficient space
for all SIMD registers.

To address this, new attribute fields sample_simd_{pred,vec}_reg_* are
added to struct perf_event_attr to represent the SIMD registers that are
expected to be sampled.

Currently, the perf/x86 code supports XMM registers in sample_regs_*.
To unify the configuration of SIMD registers and ensure a consistent
method for configuring XMM and other SIMD registers, a new event
attribute field, sample_simd_regs_enabled, is introduced. When
sample_simd_regs_enabled is set, it indicates that all SIMD registers,
including XMM, will be represented by the newly introduced
sample_simd_{pred|vec}_reg_* fields. The original XMM space in
sample_regs_* is reserved for future uses.

Since SIMD registers are wider than 64 bits, a new output format is
introduced. The number and width of SIMD registers are dumped first,
followed by the register values. The number and width are based on the
user's configuration.

A new ABI, PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD, is added to indicate the new format.
The enum perf_sample_regs_abi is now a bitmap. This change should not
impact existing tools, as the version and bitmap remain the same for
values 1 and 2.

Additionally, two new __weak functions are introduced:
- perf_simd_reg_value(): Retrieves the value of the requested SIMD
  register.
- perf_simd_reg_validate(): Validates the configuration of the SIMD
  registers.

A new flag, PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS, is added to indicate that the PMU
supports SIMD register dumping. An error is generated if
sample_simd_{pred|vec}_reg_* is mistakenly set for a PMU that does not
support this capability.

Support sampling of XMM registers using the sample_simd_vec_reg_* fields.

When sample_simd_regs_enabled is set, the original XMM space in the
sample_regs_* field is treated as reserved. An INVAL error will be
reported to user space if any bit is set in the original XMM space while
sample_simd_regs_enabled is set.

The perf_reg_value function requires ABI information to understand the
layout of sample_regs. To accommodate this, a new abi field is introduced
in the struct x86_perf_regs to represent ABI information.

Additionally, the x86 specific perf_simd_reg_value() function is
implemented to retrieve the XMM register values.

XMM sampling will be enabled in a subsequent patch that sets
PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS.

Support sampling of YMM registers via the sample_simd_vec_reg_* fields.

Each YMM register consists of 4 u64 words, assembled from two halves:
XMM (the lower 2 u64 words) and YMMH (the upper 2 u64 words). Although
both XMM and YMMH data can be retrieved with a single xsaves instruction,
they are stored in separate locations. The perf_simd_reg_value() function
is responsible for assembling these halves into a complete YMM register
for output to userspace.

Additionally, sample_simd_vec_reg_qwords should be set to 4 to indicate
YMM sampling.

YMM sampling will be enabled in a subsequent patch that sets
PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS.

Support sampling of ZMM registers via the sample_simd_vec_reg_* fields.

Each ZMM register consists of 8 u64 words. Current x86 hardware supports
up to 32 ZMM registers. For ZMM registers from ZMM0 to ZMM15, they are
assembled from three parts: XMM (the lower 2 u64 words),
YMMH (the middle 2 u64 words), and ZMMH (the upper 4 u64 words). The
perf_simd_reg_value() function is responsible for assembling these three
parts into a complete ZMM register for output to userspace.

For ZMM registers ZMM16 to ZMM31, each register can be read as a whole
and directly outputted to userspace.

Additionally, sample_simd_vec_reg_qwords should be set to 8 to indicate
ZMM sampling.

ZMM sampling will be enabled in a subsequent patch that sets
PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS.

Support sampling of OPMASK registers via the sample_simd_pred_reg_*
fields.

Each OPMASK register consists of 1 u64 word. Current x86 hardware
supports 8 OPMASK registers. The perf_simd_reg_value() function is
responsible for outputting OPMASK value to userspace.

Additionally, sample_simd_pred_reg_qwords should be set to 1 to indicate
OPMASK sampling.

OPMASK sampling will be enabled in a subsequent patch that sets
PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS.

The upcoming patch will support x86 APX eGPRs sampling by using the
reclaimed XMM register space to represent eGPRs in sample_regs_* fields.

To differentiate between XMM and eGPRs in sample_regs_* fields, an
additional argument, simd_enabled, is introduced to the
perf_reg_validate() helper. If simd_enabled is set to 1, it indicates
that eGPRs are represented in sample_regs_* fields for the x86 platform;
otherwise, XMM registers are represented.

Support sampling of APX eGPRs (R16 ~ R31) via the sample_regs_* fields.

To sample eGPRs, the sample_simd_regs_enabled field must be set. This
allows the spare space (reclaimed from the original XMM space) in the
sample_regs_* fields to be used for representing eGPRs.

The perf_reg_value() function needs to check if the
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD flag is set first, and then determine whether
to output eGPRs or legacy XMM registers to userspace.

The perf_reg_validate() function first checks the simd_enabled argument
to determine if the eGPRs bitmap is represented in sample_regs_* fields.
It then validates the eGPRs bitmap accordingly.

Currently, eGPRs sampling is only supported on the x86_64 architecture, as
APX is only available on x86_64 platforms.

APX eGPRs sampling will be enabled in a subsequent patch that sets
PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS.

Support sampling of CET SSP register via the sample_regs_* fields.

To sample SSP, the sample_simd_regs_enabled field must be set. This
allows the spare space (reclaimed from the original XMM space) in the
sample_regs_* fields to be used for representing SSP.

Similar to eGPRs sampling, the perf_reg_value() function needs to
check if the PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD flag is set first, and then
determine whether to output SSP or legacy XMM registers to userspace.

Additionally, arch-PEBS supports sampling SSP, which is placed into the
GPRs group. Also enables arch-PEBS-based SSP sampling.

Currently, SSP sampling is only supported on the x86_64 architecture, as
CET is only available on x86_64 platforms.

SSP sampling will be enabled in a subsequent patch that sets
PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS.

Support arch-PEBS based SIMD/eGPRs/SSP registers sampling.

Arch-PEBS supports sampling all of these registers. SIMD and eGPR
registers are placed into the XSAVE-Enabled Registers (XER) group with
the layout described below.

Field Name 	Registers Used 			Size

XSTATE_BV	XINUSE for groups		8 B
Reserved 	Reserved 			8 B
SSER 		XMM0-XMM15 			16 regs * 16 B = 256 B
YMMHIR 		Upper 128 bits of YMM0-YMM15 	16 regs * 16 B = 256 B
EGPR 		R16-R31 			16 regs *  8 B = 128 B
OPMASKR 	K0-K7 				 8 regs *  8 B = 64 B
ZMMHIR 		Upper 256 bits of ZMM0-ZMM15 	16 regs * 32 B = 512 B
Hi16ZMMR 	ZMM16-ZMM31 			16 regs * 64 B = 1024 B

Memory space in the output buffer is allocated for these sub-groups as
long as the corresponding Format.XER[55:49] bits in the PEBS record
header are set. However, the arch-PEBS hardware engine does not write
the sub-group if it is not used (in INIT state). In such cases, the
corresponding bit in the XSTATE_BV bitmap is set to 0. Therefore, the
XSTATE_BV field is checked to determine if the register data is actually
written for each PEBS record. If not, the register data is not outputted
to userspace.

Additionally, the MSRs IA32_PMC_{GPn|FXm}_CFG_C.[55:49] bits are used to
manage which types of these registers need to be sampled.

Arch-PEBS based SIMD/eGPRs sampling will be enabled in a subsequent
patch that sets PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS.

Set PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS once XSAVES-backed extended state beyond XMM
is available for sampling, e.g. YMM, ZMM, OPMASK, eGPRs, or SSP.

Keep backward compatibility unchanged. When only XMM sampling is
available, continue to expose only PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS. Expose
PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS only when additional SIMD/predicate register state
is supported.

When two or more identical PEBS events with the same sampling period are
programmed on a mix of PDIST and non-PDIST counters, multiple
back-to-back NMIs can be triggered.

The Linux PMI handler processes the first NMI and clears the
GLOBAL_STATUS MSR. If a second NMI is triggered immediately after
the first, it is recognized as a "suspicious NMI" because no bits are set
in the GLOBAL_STATUS MSR (cleared by the first NMI).

This issue does not lead to PEBS data corruption or data loss, but it
does result in an annoying warning message.

The current NMI handler supports back-to-back NMI detection, but it
requires the PMI handler to return the count of actually processed events,
which the PEBS handler does not currently do.

Thus, modify the PEBS handlers to return the count of actually processed
events, thereby activating back-to-back NMI detection and avoiding the
"suspicious NMI" warning.

Prevent potential infinite loops by adding a sanity check for the
corrupted PEBS record or fragment size which could happen in theory.

If a corrupted PEBS fragment is detected, the entire PEBS record
including the corrupted fragment and all subsequent records will be
dropped and a NULL PEBS record is reported to user space. This ensures
the integrity of PEBS data and prevents infinite loops in
setup_arch_pebs_sample_data() again.

Please note software has no way to figure out which events are impacted
by the corrupted record, so the last record of each event would be
discarded for all events if corrupted record is detected even though
it may be a well-formed record for some events.

Hi Dapeng,

The patch series didn't apply in Sashiko:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260721062506.3745816-1-dapeng1.mi%40linux.intel.com
I believe the patches should be against tip.git perf/core
https://sashiko.dev/#/log/baseline/47919/2
which was last updated 2 weeks ago:
https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?h=perf/core&id=edda9051e267b7390c7ce24b1b71434414ad156e

Since the change is quite large it would be interesting to read the
Sashiko reviews.

Thanks,
Ian
