Expand the configuration API to allow dynamic runtime load and unload of
configurations and features.
On load, configurations and features are tagged with a "load owner" that
is used to determine sets that were loaded together in a given API call.
To unload the API uses the load owner to unload all elements previously
loaded by that owner.
The API also records the order in which different owners loaded
their elements into the system. Later loading configurations can use
previously loaded features, creating load dependencies. Therefore unload
is enforced strictly in the reverse order to load.
A load owner will be an additional loadable module, or a configuration
loaded via configfs.

Update the existing load API to introduce a "load owner" concept.
This allows the tracking of the loaded configurations and features against
the loading owner type, to allow later unload according to owner.
A list of loaded configurations by owner is created.
The load owner infrastructure will be used in following patches
to implement dynanic load and unload, alongside dependency tracking.

TRBE implementations affected by Arm erratum (2253138 or 2224489), could
write to the next address after the TRBLIMITR.LIMIT, instead of wrapping
to the TRBBASER. This implies that the TRBE could potentially corrupt :
- A page used by the rest of the kernel/user (if the LIMIT = end of
perf ring buffer)
- A page within the ring buffer, but outside the driver's range.
[head, head + size]. This may contain some trace data, may be
consumed by the userspace.
We workaround this erratum by :
- Making sure that there is at least an extra PAGE space left in the
TRBE's range than we normally assign. This will be additional to other
restrictions (e.g, the TRBE alignment for working around
TRBE_WORKAROUND_OVERWRITE_IN_FILL_MODE, where there is a minimum of
PAGE_SIZE. Thus we would have 2 * PAGE_SIZE)
- Adjust the LIMIT to leave the last PAGE_SIZE out of the TRBE's allowed
range (i.e, TRBEBASER...TRBLIMITR.LIMIT), by :
TRBLIMITR.LIMIT -= PAGE_SIZE

ARM Neoverse-N2 (#2139208) and Cortex-A710(##2119858) suffers from
an erratum, which when triggered, might cause the TRBE to overwrite
the trace data already collected in FILL mode, in the event of a WRAP.
i.e, the TRBE doesn't stop writing the data, instead wraps to the base
and could write upto 3 cache line size worth trace. Thus, this could
corrupt the trace at the "BASE" pointer.
The workaround is to program the write pointer 256bytes from the
base, such that if the erratum is triggered, it doesn't overwrite
the trace data that was captured. This skipped region could be
padded with ignore packets at the end of the session, so that
the decoder sees a continuous buffer with some padding at the
beginning. The trace data written at the base is considered
lost as the limit could have been in the middle of the perf
ring buffer, and jumping to the "base" is not acceptable.
We set the flags already to indicate that some amount of trace
was lost during the FILL event IRQ. So this is fine.
One important change with the work around is, we program the
TRBBASER_EL1 to current page where we are allowed to write.
Otherwise, it could overwrite a region that may be consumed
by the perf. Towards this, we always make sure that the
"handle->head" and thus the trbe_write is PAGE_SIZE aligned,
so that we can set the BASE to the PAGE base and move the
TRBPTR to the 256bytes offset.

Add a minimal infrastructure to keep track of the errata
affecting the given TRBE instance. Given that we have
heterogeneous CPUs, we have to manage the list per-TRBE
instance to be able to apply the work around as needed.
Thus we will need to check if individual CPUs are affected
by the erratum.
We rely on the arm64 errata framework for the actual
description and the discovery of a given erratum, to
keep the Erratum work around at a central place and
benefit from the code and the advertisement from the
kernel. Though we could reuse the "this_cpu_has_cap()"
to apply an erratum work around, it is a bit of a heavy
operation, as it must go through the "erratum" detection
check on the CPU every time it is called (e.g, scanning
through a table of affected MIDRs). Since we need
to do this check for every session, may be multiple
times (depending on the wrok around), we could save
the cycles by caching the affected errata per-CPU
instance in the per-CPU struct trbe_cpudata.
Since we are only interested in the errata affecting
the TRBE driver, we only need to track a very few of them
per-CPU. Thus we use a local mapping of the CPUCAP for the
erratum to avoid bloating up a bitmap for trbe_cpudata.
i.e, each arm64 TRBE erratum bit is assigned a "index"
within the driver to track. Each trbe instance updates
the list of affected erratum at probe time on the CPU.
This makes sure that we can easily access the list of
errata on a given TRBE instance without much overhead.

When the TRBE generates an IRQ, we stop the TRBE, collect the trace
and then reprogram the TRBE with the updated buffer pointers, whenever
possible. We might also leave the TRBE disabled, if there is not
enough space left in the buffer. However, we do not touch the ETE at
all during all of this. This means the ETE is only disabled when
the event is disabled later (via irq_work). This is incorrect, as the
ETE trace is still ON without actually being captured and may be routed
to the ATB (even if it is for a short duration).
So, we move the CPU into trace prohibited state always before disabling
the TRBE, upon entering the IRQ handler. The state is restored if the
TRBE is enabled back. Otherwise the trace remains prohibited.
Since, the ETM/ETE driver now controls the TRFCR_EL1 per session, the
tracing can be restored/enabled back when the event is rescheduled
in.

When we detect that there isn't enough space left to start a meaningful
session, we disable the TRBE, marking the buffer as TRUNCATED. But we delay
the notification to the perf layer by perf_aux_output_end() until the event
is scheduled out, triggered from the kernel perf layer. This will cause
significant black outs in the trace. Now that the CoreSight PMU layer can
handle a closed "AUX" handle properly, we can close the handle as soon as
we detect the case, allowing the userspace to collect and re-enable the
event.
Also, while in the IRQ handler, move the irq_work_run() after we have
updated the handle, to make sure the "TRUNCATED" flag causes the event to
be disabled as soon as possible.

The TRBE driver marks the AUX buffer as TRUNCATED when we get an IRQ
on FILL event. This has rather unwanted side-effect of the event
being disabled when there may be more space in the ring buffer.
So, instead of TRUNCATE we need a different flag to indicate
that the trace may have lost a few bytes (i.e from the point of
generating the FILL event until the IRQ is consumed). Anyways, the
userspace must use the size from RECORD_AUX headers to restrict
the "trace" decoding.
Using PARTIAL flag causes the perf tool to generate the
following warning:
Warning:
AUX data had gaps in it XX times out of YY!
Are you running a KVM guest in the background?
which is pointlessly scary for a user. The other remaining options
are :
- COLLISION - Use by SPE to indicate samples collided
- Add a new flag - Specifically for CoreSight, doesn't sound
so good, if we can re-use something.
Given that we don't already use the "COLLISION" flag, the above
behavior can be notified using this flag for CoreSight.

We mark the buffer as TRUNCATED when there is no space left
in the buffer. But we do it at different points.
__trbe_normal_offset()
and also, at all the callers of the above function via
compute_trbe_buffer_limit(), when the limit == base (i.e
offset = 0 as returned by the __trbe_normal_offset()).
So, given that the callers already mark the buffer as TRUNCATED
drop the caller inside the __trbe_normal_offset().
This is in preparation to moving the handling of TRUNCATED
into a central place.
