This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-azure-
fips/6.8.0-1042.48+fips1 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please
test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is
solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux-azure-fips' to
'verification-done-noble-linux-azure-fips'. If the problem still exists,
change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux-azure-fips' to
'verification-failed-noble-linux-azure-fips'.


If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.


See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  [UBUNTU 24.04] PAI/NNPA support for new IBM z17

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in linux source package in Noble:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  Extend the s390 PAI monitoring infrastructure to cover new hardware 
capabilities in IBM Z systems.
  Add sysfs and perf event names for counters introduced with Message Security 
Assist (MSA) 10 and 11, enabling monitoring of new AES-XTS and HMAC-SHA 
variants, as well as protected key operations.
  Update the NNPA counter set, adding events for modern AI/ML primitives.

  [ Fix ]

  Backport the following commits from upstream:
  - d414f4ecb240b s390/pai: export number of sysfs attribute files
  - 4ae48555d0edc s390/pai_crypto: Add support for MSA 10 and 11 pai counters
  - 0114009953c11 s390/pai_ext: Update PAI extension 1 counters

  [ Test Plan ]

  Run an ubuntu instance on IBM Z hardware that actually supports
  MSA 10/11 and the updated NNPA instructions.
  Check under /sys/bus/event_source/devices/pai_crypto/events/
  and /sys/bus/event_source/devices/pai_ext/events/
  to confirm that the new counters are exported.

  [ Regression Potential ]

  The regression potential of these patches is very low,
  since they only extend the PAI crypto and extension event description tables
  with new counters for newer IBM Z hardware generations.
  Any possible issues would be limited to inaccurate labeling
  or unsupported counters being exposed on systems with recent MSA or NNPA 
facilities,
  with no effect on older IBM Z machines or other architectures.
