[PATCH] powerpc/perf: Add debugfs interface for imc-mode and imc-command

In memory Collection (IMC) counter pmu driver controls the ucode's execution
state. At the system boot, IMC perf driver pause the ucode. Ucode state is
changed to "running" only when any of the nest units are monitored or profiled
using perf tool.
Nest units support only limited set of hardware counters and ucode is always
programmed in the "production mode" ("accumulation") mode. This mode is
configured to provide key performance metric data for most of the nest units.
But ucode also supports other modes which would be used for "debug" to drill
down specific nest units. That is, ucode when switched to "powerbus" debug
mode (for example), will dynamically reconfigure the nest counters to target
only "powerbus" related events in the hardware counters. This allows the IMC
nest unit to focus on powerbus related transactions in the system in more
detail. At this point, production mode events may or may not be counted.
IMC nest counters has both in-band (ucode access) and out of band access to it.
Since not all nest counter configurations are supported by ucode, out of band
tools are used to characterize other nest counter configurations.
Patch provides an interface via "debugfs" to enable the switching of ucode
modes in the system. To switch ucode mode, one has to first pause the microcode
(imc_cmd), and then write the target mode value to the "imc_mode" file.
Proposed Approach
===================
In the proposed approach, the function (export_imc_mode_and_cmd) which creates
the debugfs interface for imc mode and command is implemented in opal-imc.c.
Thus we can use imc_get_mem_addr() to get the homer base address for each chip.
The interface to expose imc mode and command is required only if we have nest
pmu units registered. Employing the existing data structures to track whether
we have any nest units registered will require to extend data from perf side
to opal-imc.c. Instead an integer is introduced to hold that information by
counting successful nest unit registration. Debugfs interface is removed
based on the integer count.
Example for the interface:
root at XXXX:/sys/kernel/debug/imc# ls
imc_cmd_0 imc_cmd_8 imc_mode_0 imc_mode_8
