bpf: move sleepable flag from bpf_prog_aux to bpf_prog prog->aux->sleepable is checked very frequently as part of (some) BPF program run hot paths. So this extra aux indirection seems wasteful and on busy systems might cause unnecessary memory cache misses. Let's move sleepable flag into prog itself to eliminate unnecessary pointer dereference.

perf: Add branch stack counters Currently, the additional information of a branch entry is stored in a u64 space. With more and more information added, the space is running out. For example, the information of occurrences of events will be added for each branch. Two places were suggested to append the counters. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230802215814.GH231007@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net/ One place is right after the flags of each branch entry. It changes the existing struct perf_branch_entry. The later ARCH specific implementation has to be really careful to consistently pick the right struct. The other place is right after the entire struct perf_branch_stack. The disadvantage is that the pointer of the extra space has to be recorded. The common interface perf_sample_save_brstack() has to be updated. The latter is much straightforward, and should be easily understood and maintained. It is implemented in the patch. Add a new branch sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COUNTERS, to indicate the event which is recorded in the branch info. The "u64 counters" may store the occurrences of several events. The information regarding the number of events/counters and the width of each counter should be exposed via sysfs as a reference for the perf tool. Define the branch_counter_nr and branch_counter_width ABI here. The support will be implemented later in the Intel-specific patch.

perf: Fix perf_event_validate_size() lockdep splat When lockdep is enabled, the for_each_sibling_event(sibling, event) macro checks that event->ctx->mutex is held. When creating a new group leader event, we call perf_event_validate_size() on a partially initialized event where event->ctx is NULL, and so when for_each_sibling_event() attempts to check event->ctx->mutex, we get a splat, as reported by Lucas De Marchi: WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 1471 at kernel/events/core.c:1950 __do_sys_perf_event_open+0xf37/0x1080 This only happens for a new event which is its own group_leader, and in this case there cannot be any sibling events. Thus it's safe to skip the check for siblings, which avoids having to make invasive and ugly changes to for_each_sibling_event(). Avoid the splat by bailing out early when the new event is its own group_leader.

perf: Optimize perf_cgroup_switch() Namhyung reported that bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling") regresses context switch overhead when perf-cgroup is in use together with 'slow' PMUs like uncore. Specifically, perf_cgroup_switch()'s perf_ctx_disable() / ctx_sched_out() etc.. all iterate the full list of active PMUs for that CPU, even if they don't have cgroup events. Previously there was cgrp_cpuctx_list which linked the relevant PMUs together, but that got lost in the rework. Instead of re-instruducing a similar list, let the perf_event_pmu_context iteration skip those that do not have cgroup events. This avoids growing multiple versions of the perf_event_pmu_context iteration.

perf/core: Allow reading package events from perf_event_read_local Per-package perf events are typically registered with a single CPU only, however they can be read across all the CPUs within the package. Currently perf_event_read maps the event CPU according to the topology information to avoid an unnecessary SMP call, however perf_event_read_local deals with hard values and rejects a read with a failure if the CPU is not the one exactly registered. Allow similar mapping within the perf_event_read_local if the perf event in question can support this. This allows users like BPF code to read the package perf events properly across different CPUs within a package.

perf: Disallow mis-matched inherited group reads Because group consistency is non-atomic between parent (filedesc) and children (inherited) events, it is possible for PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read() to try and sum non-matching counter groups -- with non-sensical results. Add group_generation to distinguish the case where a parent group removes and adds an event and thus has the same number, but a different configuration of events as inherited groups. This became a problem when commit fa8c269353d5 ("perf/core: Invert perf_read_group() loops") flipped the order of child_list and sibling_list. Previously it would iterate the group (sibling_list) first, and for each sibling traverse the child_list. In this order, only the group composition of the parent is relevant. By flipping the order the group composition of the child (inherited) events becomes an issue and the mis-match in group composition becomes evident. That said; even prior to this commit, while reading of a group that is not equally inherited was not broken, it still made no sense. (Ab)use ECHILD as error return to indicate issues with child process group composition.

perf/core: Fix hardlockup failure caused by perf throttle commit e050e3f0a71bf ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling") introduces a change in throttling threshold judgment. Before this, compare hwc->interrupts and max_samples_per_tick, then increase hwc->interrupts by 1, but this commit reverses order of these two behaviors, causing the semantics of max_samples_per_tick to change. In literal sense of "max_samples_per_tick", if hwc->interrupts == max_samples_per_tick, it should not be throttled, therefore, the judgment condition should be changed to "hwc->interrupts > max_samples_per_tick". In fact, this may cause the hardlockup to fail, The minimum value of max_samples_per_tick may be 1, in this case, the return value of __perf_event_account_interrupt function is 1. As a result, nmi_watchdog gets throttled, which would stop PMU (Use x86 architecture as an example, see x86_pmu_handle_irq).

perf/core: Fix the same task check in perf_event_set_output The same task check in perf_event_set_output has some potential issues for some usages. For the current perf code, there is a problem if using of perf_event_open() to have multiple samples getting into the same mmap’d memory when they are both attached to the same process. https://lore.kernel.org/all/92645262-D319-4068-9C44-2409EF44888E@gmail.com/ Because the event->ctx is not ready when the perf_event_set_output() is invoked in the perf_event_open(). Besides the above issue, before the commit bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling"), perf record can errors out when sampling with a hardware event and a software event as below. $ perf record -e cycles,dummy --per-thread ls failed to mmap with 22 (Invalid argument) That's because that prior to the commit a hardware event and a software event are from different task context. The problem should be a long time issue since commit c3f00c70276d ("perk: Separate find_get_context() from event initialization"). The task struct is stored in the event->hw.target for each per-thread event. It is a more reliable way to determine whether two events are attached to the same task. The event->hw.target was also introduced several years ago by the commit 50f16a8bf9d7 ("perf: Remove type specific target pointers"). It can not only be used to fix the issue with the current code, but also back port to fix the issues with an older kernel. Note: The event->hw.target was introduced later than commit c3f00c70276d. The patch may cannot be applied between the commit c3f00c70276d and commit 50f16a8bf9d7. Anybody that wants to back-port this at that period may have to find other solutions.

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2245 at kernel/events/core.c:4925 put_pmu_ctx+0x1f0/0x278 This is because there is no locking around the access of "if (!epc->ctx)" in find_get_pmu_context() and when it is set to NULL in put_pmu_ctx(). The decrement of the reference count in put_pmu_ctx() also happens outside of the spinlock, leading to the possibility of this order of events, and the context being cleared in put_pmu_ctx(), after its refcount is non zero: CPU0 CPU1 find_get_pmu_context() if (!epc->ctx) == false put_pmu_ctx() atomic_dec_and_test(&epc->refcount) == true epc->refcount == 0 atomic_inc(&epc->refcount); epc->refcount == 1 list_del_init(&epc->pmu_ctx_entry); epc->ctx = NULL; Another issue is that WARN_ON for no active PMU events in put_pmu_ctx() is outside of the lock. If the perf_event_pmu_context is an embedded one, even after clearing it, it won't be deleted and can be re-used. So the warning can trigger. For this reason it also needs to be moved inside the lock. The above warning is very quick to trigger on Arm by running these two commands at the same time: while true; do perf record -- ls; done while true; do perf record -- ls; done [peterz: atomic_dec_and_raw_lock*()] Fixes: bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling") Reported-by: syzbot+697196bc0265049822bd@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: James Clark <james.clark@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@amd.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230127143141.1782804-2-james.clark@arm.com

The commit bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling") change to have only one context per-CPU, so we can just use cpuctx->cgrp to check if this CPU has cgroup events enabled.

perf: Rewrite core context handling There have been various issues and limitations with the way perf uses (task) contexts to track events. Most notable is the single hardware PMU task context, which has resulted in a number of yucky things (both proposed and merged). Notably: - HW breakpoint PMU - ARM big.little PMU / Intel ADL PMU - Intel Branch Monitoring PMU - AMD IBS PMU - S390 cpum_cf PMU - PowerPC trace_imc PMU *Current design:* Currently we have a per task and per cpu perf_event_contexts: task_struct::perf_events_ctxp[] <-> perf_event_context <-> perf_cpu_context ^ | ^ | ^ `---------------------------------' | `--> pmu ---' v ^ perf_event ------' Each task has an array of pointers to a perf_event_context. Each perf_event_context has a direct relation to a PMU and a group of events for that PMU. The task related perf_event_context's have a pointer back to that task. Each PMU has a per-cpu pointer to a per-cpu perf_cpu_context, which includes a perf_event_context, which again has a direct relation to that PMU, and a group of events for that PMU. The perf_cpu_context also tracks which task context is currently associated with that CPU and includes a few other things like the hrtimer for rotation etc. Each perf_event is then associated with its PMU and one perf_event_context. *Proposed design:* New design proposed by this patch reduce to a single task context and a single CPU context but adds some intermediate data-structures: task_struct::perf_event_ctxp -> perf_event_context <- perf_cpu_context ^ | ^ ^ `---------------------------' | | | | perf_cpu_pmu_context <--. | `----. ^ | | | | | | v v | | ,--> perf_event_pmu_context | | | | | | | v v | perf_event ---> pmu ----------------' With the new design, perf_event_context will hold all events for all pmus in the (respective pinned/flexible) rbtrees. This can be achieved by adding pmu to rbtree key: {cpu, pmu, cgroup, group_index} Each perf_event_context carries a list of perf_event_pmu_context which is used to hold per-pmu-per-context state. For example, it keeps track of currently active events for that pmu, a pmu specific task_ctx_data, a flag to tell whether rotation is required or not etc. Additionally, perf_cpu_pmu_context is used to hold per-pmu-per-cpu state like hrtimer details to drive the event rotation, a pointer to perf_event_pmu_context of currently running task and some other ancillary information. Each perf_event is associated to it's pmu, perf_event_context and perf_event_pmu_context. Further optimizations to current implementation are possible. For example, ctx_resched() can be optimized to reschedule only single pmu events. Much thanks to Ravi for picking this up and pushing it towards completion.

perf: Fix perf_pending_task() UaF Per syzbot it is possible for perf_pending_task() to run after the event is free()'d. There are two related but distinct cases: - the task_work was already queued before destroying the event; - destroying the event itself queues the task_work. The first cannot be solved using task_work_cancel() since perf_release() itself might be called from a task_work (____fput), which means the current->task_works list is already empty and task_work_cancel() won't be able to find the perf_pending_task() entry. The simplest alternative is extending the perf_event lifetime to cover the task_work. The second is just silly, queueing a task_work while you know the event is going away makes no sense and is easily avoided by re-arranging how the event is marked STATE_DEAD and ensuring it goes through STATE_OFF on the way down.

perf: Consider OS filter fail Some PMUs (notably the traditional hardware kind) have boundary issues with the OS filter. Specifically, it is possible for perf_event_attr::exclude_kernel=1 events to trigger in-kernel due to SKID or errata. This can upset the sigtrap logic some and trigger the WARN. However, if this invalid sample is the first we must not loose the SIGTRAP, OTOH if it is the second, it must not override the pending_addr with a (possibly) invalid one.

perf: Improve missing SIGTRAP checking To catch missing SIGTRAP we employ a WARN in __perf_event_overflow(), which fires if pending_sigtrap was already set: returning to user space without consuming pending_sigtrap, and then having the event fire again would re-enter the kernel and trigger the WARN. This, however, seemed to miss the case where some events not associated with progress in the user space task can fire and the interrupt handler runs before the IRQ work meant to consume pending_sigtrap (and generate the SIGTRAP). syzbot gifted us this stack trace: | WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3607 at kernel/events/core.c:9313 __perf_event_overflow | Modules linked in: | CPU: 0 PID: 3607 Comm: syz-executor100 Not tainted 6.1.0-rc2-syzkaller-00073-g88619e77b33d #0 | Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 10/11/2022 | RIP: 0010:__perf_event_overflow+0x498/0x540 kernel/events/core.c:9313 | <...> | Call Trace: | <TASK> | perf_swevent_hrtimer+0x34f/0x3c0 kernel/events/core.c:10729 | __run_hrtimer kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1685 [inline] | __hrtimer_run_queues+0x1c6/0xfb0 kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1749 | hrtimer_interrupt+0x31c/0x790 kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1811 | local_apic_timer_interrupt arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:1096 [inline] | __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x17c/0x640 arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:1113 | sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x40/0xc0 arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:1107 | asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x16/0x20 arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:649 | <...> | </TASK> In this case, syzbot produced a program with event type PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE and config PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK. The hrtimer manages to fire again before the IRQ work got a chance to run, all while never having returned to user space. Improve the WARN to check for real progress in user space: approximate this by storing a 32-bit hash of the current IP into pending_sigtrap, and if an event fires while pending_sigtrap still matches the previous IP, we assume no progress (false negatives are possible given we could return to user space and trigger again on the same IP).

perf: Fix missing SIGTRAPs Marco reported: Due to the implementation of how SIGTRAP are delivered if perf_event_attr::sigtrap is set, we've noticed 3 issues: 1. Missing SIGTRAP due to a race with event_sched_out() (more details below). 2. Hardware PMU events being disabled due to returning 1 from perf_event_overflow(). The only way to re-enable the event is for user space to first "properly" disable the event and then re-enable it. 3. The inability to automatically disable an event after a specified number of overflows via PERF_EVENT_IOC_REFRESH. The worst of the 3 issues is problem (1), which occurs when a pending_disable is "consumed" by a racing event_sched_out(), observed as follows: CPU0 | CPU1 --------------------------------+--------------------------- __perf_event_overflow() | perf_event_disable_inatomic() | pending_disable = CPU0 | ... | _perf_event_enable() | event_function_call() | task_function_call() | /* sends IPI to CPU0 */ <IPI> | ... __perf_event_enable() +--------------------------- ctx_resched() task_ctx_sched_out() ctx_sched_out() group_sched_out() event_sched_out() pending_disable = -1 </IPI> <IRQ-work> perf_pending_event() perf_pending_event_disable() /* Fails to send SIGTRAP because no pending_disable! */ </IRQ-work> In the above case, not only is that particular SIGTRAP missed, but also all future SIGTRAPs because 'event_limit' is not reset back to 1. To fix, rework pending delivery of SIGTRAP via IRQ-work by introduction of a separate 'pending_sigtrap', no longer using 'event_limit' and 'pending_disable' for its delivery. Additionally; and different to Marco's proposed patch: - recognise that pending_disable effectively duplicates oncpu for the case where it is set. As such, change the irq_work handler to use ->oncpu to target the event and use pending_* as boolean toggles. - observe that SIGTRAP targets the ctx->task, so the context switch optimization that carries contexts between tasks is invalid. If the irq_work were delayed enough to hit after a context switch the SIGTRAP would be delivered to the wrong task. - observe that if the event gets scheduled out (rotation/migration/context-switch/...) the irq-work would be insufficient to deliver the SIGTRAP when the event gets scheduled back in (the irq-work might still be pending on the old CPU). Therefore have event_sched_out() convert the pending sigtrap into a task_work which will deliver the signal at return_to_user.

The second perf_event_open() runs concurrently, and during rhltable_lookup() looks up an entry which is being freed: since rhltable_lookup() may run concurrently (under the RCU read lock) with rhltable_remove(), we may end up with a stale entry, for which memory may also have already been freed when being accessed. To fix, only free the failed perf_event after an RCU grace period. This allows subsystems that store references to an event to always access it concurrently under the RCU read lock, even if initialization will fail. Given failure is unlikely and a slow-path, turning the immediate free into a call_rcu()-wrapped free does not affect performance elsewhere.

perf/core: Convert snprintf() to scnprintf() Coccinelle reports a warning: WARNING: use scnprintf or sprintf This LWN article explains the rationale for this change: https: //lwn.net/Articles/69419/ Ie. snprintf() returns what *would* be the resulting length, while scnprintf() returns the actual length. Adding to that, there has also been some slow migration from snprintf to scnprintf, here's the shift in usage in the past 3.5 years, in all fs/ files: v5.0 v6.0-rc6 -------------------------------------- snprintf() uses: 63 213 scnprintf() uses: 374 186 No intended change in behavior.

perf: Add a few assertions While auditing 6b959ba22d34 ("perf/core: Fix reentry problem in perf_output_read_group()") a few spots were found that wanted assertions. Notable for_each_sibling_event() relies on exclusion from modification. This would normally be holding either ctx->lock or ctx->mutex, however due to how things are constructed disabling IRQs is a valid and sufficient substitute for ctx->lock. Another possible site to add assertions would be the various pmu::{add,del,read,..}() methods, but that's not trivially expressable in C -- the best option is wrappers, but those are easy enough to forget.

perf: Add sample_flags to indicate the PMU-filled sample data On some platforms, some data e.g., timestamps, can be retrieved from the PMU driver. Usually, the data from the PMU driver is more accurate. The current perf kernel should output the PMU-filled sample data if it's available. To check the availability of the PMU-filled sample data, the current perf kernel initializes the related fields in the perf_sample_data_init(). When outputting a sample, the perf checks whether the field is updated by the PMU driver. If yes, the updated value will be output. If not, the perf uses an SW way to calculate the value or just outputs the initialized value if an SW way is unavailable either. With more and more data being provided by the PMU driver, more fields has to be initialized in the perf_sample_data_init(). That will increase the number of cache lines touched in perf_sample_data_init() and be harmful to the performance. Add new "sample_flags" to indicate the PMU-filled sample data. The PMU driver should set the corresponding PERF_SAMPLE_ flag when the field is updated. The initialization of the corresponding field is not required anymore. The following patches will make use of it and remove the corresponding fields from the perf_sample_data_init(), which will further minimize the number of cache lines touched. Only clear the sample flags that have already been done by the PMU driver in the perf_prepare_sample() for the PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE. For the other PERF_RECORD_ event type, the sample data is not available.

perf/core: Fix data race between perf_event_set_output() and perf_mmap_close() Yang Jihing reported a race between perf_event_set_output() and perf_mmap_close(): CPU1 CPU2 perf_mmap_close(e2) if (atomic_dec_and_test(&e2->rb->mmap_count)) // 1 - > 0 detach_rest = true ioctl(e1, IOC_SET_OUTPUT, e2) perf_event_set_output(e1, e2) ... list_for_each_entry_rcu(e, &e2->rb->event_list, rb_entry) ring_buffer_attach(e, NULL); // e1 isn't yet added and // therefore not detached ring_buffer_attach(e1, e2->rb) list_add_rcu(&e1->rb_entry, &e2->rb->event_list) After this; e1 is attached to an unmapped rb and a subsequent perf_mmap() will loop forever more: again: mutex_lock(&e->mmap_mutex); if (event->rb) { ... if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&e->rb->mmap_count)) { ... mutex_unlock(&e->mmap_mutex); goto again; } } The loop in perf_mmap_close() holds e2->mmap_mutex, while the attach in perf_event_set_output() holds e1->mmap_mutex. As such there is no serialization to avoid this race. Change perf_event_set_output() to take both e1->mmap_mutex and e2->mmap_mutex to alleviate that problem. Additionally, have the loop in perf_mmap() detach the rb directly, this avoids having to wait for the concurrent perf_mmap_close() to get around to doing it to make progress.

signal: Deliver SIGTRAP on perf event asynchronously if blocked With SIGTRAP on perf events, we have encountered termination of processes due to user space attempting to block delivery of SIGTRAP. Consider this case: <set up SIGTRAP on a perf event> ... sigset_t s; sigemptyset(&s); sigaddset(&s, SIGTRAP | <and others>); sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &s, ...); ... <perf event triggers> When the perf event triggers, while SIGTRAP is blocked, force_sig_perf() will force the signal, but revert back to the default handler, thus terminating the task. This makes sense for error conditions, but not so much for explicitly requested monitoring. However, the expectation is still that signals generated by perf events are synchronous, which will no longer be the case if the signal is blocked and delivered later. To give user space the ability to clearly distinguish synchronous from asynchronous signals, introduce siginfo_t::si_perf_flags and TRAP_PERF_FLAG_ASYNC (opted for flags in case more binary information is required in future). The resolution to the problem is then to (a) no longer force the signal (avoiding the terminations), but (b) tell user space via si_perf_flags if the signal was synchronous or not, so that such signals can be handled differently (e.g. let user space decide to ignore or consider the data imprecise). The alternative of making the kernel ignore SIGTRAP on perf events if the signal is blocked may work for some usecases, but likely causes issues in others that then have to revert back to interception of sigprocmask() (which we want to avoid). [ A concrete example: when using breakpoint perf events to track data-flow, in a region of code where signals are blocked, data-flow can no longer be tracked accurately. When a relevant asynchronous signal is received after unblocking the signal, the data-flow tracking logic needs to know its state is imprecise. ] Fixes: 97ba62b27867 ("perf: Add support for SIGTRAP on perf events") Reported-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Signed-off-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Tested-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220404111204.935357-1-elver@google.com

The move_group case checks for races against itself, but the !move_group case doesn't, seemingly relying on the previous group_leader->ctx == ctx check. However, that check is racy due to not holding any locks at that time. Therefore, re-check the result after acquiring locks and bailing if they no longer match.

perf/core: Fix perf_cgroup_switch() There is a race problem that can trigger WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx->cgrp) in perf_cgroup_switch(). CPU1 CPU2 perf_cgroup_sched_out(prev, next) cgrp1 = perf_cgroup_from_task(prev) cgrp2 = perf_cgroup_from_task(next) if (cgrp1 != cgrp2) perf_cgroup_switch(prev, PERF_CGROUP_SWOUT) cgroup_migrate_execute() task->cgroups = ? perf_cgroup_attach() task_function_call(task, __perf_cgroup_move) perf_cgroup_sched_in(prev, next) cgrp1 = perf_cgroup_from_task(prev) cgrp2 = perf_cgroup_from_task(next) if (cgrp1 != cgrp2) perf_cgroup_switch(next, PERF_CGROUP_SWIN) __perf_cgroup_move() perf_cgroup_switch(task, PERF_CGROUP_SWOUT | PERF_CGROUP_SWIN) The commit a8d757ef076f ("perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup context switch code") want to skip perf_cgroup_switch() when the perf_cgroup of "prev" and "next" are the same. But task->cgroups can change in concurrent with context_switch() in cgroup_migrate_execute(). If cgrp1 == cgrp2 in sched_out(), cpuctx won't do sched_out. Then task->cgroups changed cause cgrp1 != cgrp2 in sched_in(), cpuctx will do sched_in. So trigger WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx->cgrp). Even though __perf_cgroup_move() will be synchronized as the context switch disables the interrupt, context_switch() still can see the task->cgroups is changing in the middle, since task->cgroups changed before sending IPI. So we have to combine perf_cgroup_sched_in() into perf_cgroup_sched_out(), unified into perf_cgroup_switch(), to fix the incosistency between perf_cgroup_sched_out() and perf_cgroup_sched_in(). But we can't just compare prev->cgroups with next->cgroups to decide whether to skip cpuctx sched_out/in since the prev->cgroups is changing too. For example: CPU1 CPU2 cgroup_migrate_execute() prev->cgroups = ? perf_cgroup_attach() task_function_call(task, __perf_cgroup_move) perf_cgroup_switch(task) cgrp1 = perf_cgroup_from_task(prev) cgrp2 = perf_cgroup_from_task(next) if (cgrp1 != cgrp2) cpuctx sched_out/in ... task_function_call() will return -ESRCH In the above example, prev->cgroups changing cause (cgrp1 == cgrp2) to be true, so skip cpuctx sched_out/in. And later task_function_call() would return -ESRCH since the prev task isn't running on cpu anymore. So we would leave perf_events of the old prev->cgroups still sched on the CPU, which is wrong. The solution is that we should use cpuctx->cgrp to compare with the next task's perf_cgroup. Since cpuctx->cgrp can only be changed on local CPU, and we have irq disabled, we can read cpuctx->cgrp to compare without holding ctx lock.

It was the case of a group of mixed hw and sw events and it failed in perf_event_init_task() due to armpmu_event_init(). The ARM PMU code checks if all the events in a group belong to the same PMU except for software events. But it didn't set the event_caps of inherited events and no longer identify them as software events. Therefore the test failed in a child process.

uaccess: remove CONFIG_SET_FS There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so CONFIG_SET_FS can be removed globally, along with the thread_info field and any references to it. This turns access_ok() into a cheaper check against TASK_SIZE_MAX. As CONFIG_SET_FS is now gone, drop all remaining references to set_fs()/get_fs(), mm_segment_t, user_addr_max() and uaccess_kernel().

perf: Copy perf_event_attr::sig_data on modification The intent has always been that perf_event_attr::sig_data should also be modifiable along with PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES, because it is observable by user space if SIGTRAP on events is requested. Currently only PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT is modifiable, and explicitly copies relevant breakpoint-related attributes in hw_breakpoint_copy_attr(). This misses copying perf_event_attr::sig_data.

perf/core: Fix cgroup event list management The active cgroup events are managed in the per-cpu cgrp_cpuctx_list. This list is only accessed from current cpu and not protected by any locks. But from the commit ef54c1a476ae ("perf: Rework perf_event_exit_event()"), it's possible to access (actually modify) the list from another cpu. In the perf_remove_from_context(), it can remove an event from the context without an IPI when the context is not active. This is not safe with cgroup events which can have some active events in the context even if ctx->is_active is 0 at the moment. The target cpu might be in the middle of list iteration at the same time. If the event is enabled when it's about to be closed, it might call perf_cgroup_event_disable() and list_del() with the cgrp_cpuctx_list on a different cpu. This resulted in a crash due to an invalid list pointer access during the cgroup list traversal on the cpu which the event belongs to. Let's fallback to IPI to access the cgrp_cpuctx_list from that cpu. Similarly, perf_install_in_context() should use IPI for the cgroup events too.

perf: Always wake the parent event When using per-process mode and event inheritance is set to true, forked processes will create a new perf events via inherit_event() -> perf_event_alloc(). But these events will not have ring buffers assigned to them. Any call to wakeup will be dropped if it's called on an event with no ring buffer assigned because that's the object that holds the wakeup list. If the child event is disabled due to a call to perf_aux_output_begin() or perf_aux_output_end(), the wakeup is dropped leaving userspace hanging forever on the poll. Normally the event is explicitly re-enabled by userspace after it wakes up to read the aux data, but in this case it does not get woken up so the event remains disabled. This can be reproduced when using Arm SPE and 'stress' which forks once before running the workload. By looking at the list of aux buffers read, it's apparent that they stop after the fork: perf record -e arm_spe// -vvv -- stress -c 1 With this patch applied they continue to be printed. This behaviour doesn't happen when using systemwide or per-cpu mode.

perf: Fix perf_event_read_local() time Time readers that cannot take locks (due to NMI etc..) currently make use of perf_event::shadow_ctx_time, which, for that event gives: time' = now + (time - timestamp) or, alternatively arranged: time' = time + (now - timestamp) IOW, the progression of time since the last time the shadow_ctx_time was updated. There's problems with this: A) the shadow_ctx_time is per-event, even though the ctx_time it reflects is obviously per context. The direct concequence of this is that the context needs to iterate all events all the time to keep the shadow_ctx_time in sync. B) even with the prior point, the context itself might not be active meaning its time should not advance to begin with. C) shadow_ctx_time isn't consistently updated when ctx_time is There are 3 users of this stuff, that suffer differently from this: - calc_timer_values() - perf_output_read() - perf_event_update_userpage() /* A */ - perf_event_read_local() /* A,B */ In particular, perf_output_read() doesn't suffer at all, because it's sample driven and hence only relevant when the event is actually running. This same was supposed to be true for perf_event_update_userpage(), after all self-monitoring implies the context is active *HOWEVER*, as per commit f79256532682 ("perf/core: fix userpage->time_enabled of inactive events") this goes wrong when combined with counter overcommit, in that case those events that do not get scheduled when the context becomes active (task events typically) miss out on the EVENT_TIME update and ENABLED time is inflated (for a little while) with the time the context was inactive. Once the event gets rotated in, this gets corrected, leading to a non-monotonic timeflow. perf_event_read_local() made things even worse, it can request time at any point, suffering all the problems perf_event_update_userpage() does and more. Because while perf_event_update_userpage() is limited by the context being active, perf_event_read_local() users have no such constraint. Therefore, completely overhaul things and do away with perf_event::shadow_ctx_time. Instead have regular context time updates keep track of this offset directly and provide perf_event_time_now() to complement perf_event_time(). perf_event_time_now() will, in adition to being context wide, also take into account if the context is active. For inactive context, it will not advance time. This latter property means the cgroup perf_cgroup_info context needs to grow addition state to track this. Additionally, since all this is strictly per-cpu, we can use barrier() to order context activity vs context time. Fixes: 7d9285e82db5 ("perf/bpf: Extend the perf_event_read_local() interface, a.k.a.

Use DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0 as the default/NULL for all guest callbacks, as the callback semantics are that a return value '0' means "not in guest". static_call obviously avoids the overhead of CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y, but is also advantageous versus other solutions, e.g. per-cpu callbacks, in that a per-cpu memory load is not needed to detect the !guest case.

perf: Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU to fix multiple possible errors. Luckily, all paths that read perf_guest_cbs already require RCU protection, e.g. to protect the callback chains, so only the direct perf_guest_cbs touchpoints need to be modified. Bug #1 is a simple lack of WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE behavior to ensure perf_guest_cbs isn't reloaded between a !NULL check and a dereference. Fixed via the READ_ONCE() in rcu_dereference(). Bug #2 is that on weakly-ordered architectures, updates to the callbacks themselves are not guaranteed to be visible before the pointer is made visible to readers. Fixed by the smp_store_release() in rcu_assign_pointer() when the new pointer is non-NULL. Bug #3 is that, because the callbacks are global, it's possible for readers to run in parallel with an unregisters, and thus a module implementing the callbacks can be unloaded while readers are in flight, resulting in a use-after-free. Fixed by a synchronize_rcu() call when unregistering callbacks. Bug #1 escaped notice because it's extremely unlikely a compiler will reload perf_guest_cbs in this sequence. perf_guest_cbs does get reloaded for future derefs, e.g. for ->is_user_mode(), but the ->is_in_guest() guard all but guarantees the consumer will win the race, e.g. to nullify perf_guest_cbs, KVM has to completely exit the guest and teardown down all VMs before KVM start its module unload / unregister sequence. This also makes it all but impossible to encounter bug #3. Bug #2 has not been a problem because all architectures that register callbacks are strongly ordered and/or have a static set of callbacks. But with help, unloading kvm_intel can trigger bug #1 e.g. wrapping perf_guest_cbs with READ_ONCE in perf_misc_flags() while spamming kvm_intel module load/unload leads to: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU: 6 PID: 1825 Comm: stress Not tainted 5.14.0-rc2+ #459 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 RIP: 0010:perf_misc_flags+0x1c/0x70 Call Trace: perf_prepare_sample+0x53/0x6b0 perf_event_output_forward+0x67/0x160 __perf_event_overflow+0x52/0xf0 handle_pmi_common+0x207/0x300 intel_pmu_handle_irq+0xcf/0x410 perf_event_nmi_handler+0x28/0x50 nmi_handle+0xc7/0x260 default_do_nmi+0x6b/0x170 exc_nmi+0x103/0x130 asm_exc_nmi+0x76/0xbf Fixes: 39447b386c84 ("perf: Enhance perf to allow for guest statistic collection from host") Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211111020738.2512932-2-seanjc@google.com

perf: Add a counter for number of user access events in context On arm64, user space counter access will be controlled differently compared to x86. On x86, access in the strictest mode is enabled for all tasks in an MM when any event is mmap'ed. For arm64, access is explicitly requested for an event and only enabled when the event's context is active. This avoids hooks into the arch context switch code and gives better control of when access is enabled. In order to configure user space access when the PMU is enabled, it is necessary to know if any event (currently active or not) in the current context has user space accessed enabled. Add a counter similar to other counters in the context to avoid walking the event list every time.

For example, in kretprobe or bpf fexit program, LBR could provide a lot of information on what happened with the function. Add API to use branch record for software use. Note that, when the software event triggers, it is necessary to stop the branch record hardware asap. Therefore, static_call is used to remove some branch instructions in this process.

perf/x86: Add new event for AUX output counter index PEBS-via-PT records contain a mask of applicable counters. To identify which event belongs to which counter, a side-band event is needed. Until now, there has been no side-band event, and consequently users were limited to using a single event. Add such a side-band event. Note the event is optimised to output only when the counter index changes for an event. That works only so long as all PEBS-via-PT events are scheduled together, which they are for a recording session because they are in a single group. Also no attribute bit is used to select the new event, so a new kernel is not compatible with older perf tools. The assumption being that PEBS-via-PT is sufficiently esoteric that users will not be troubled by this.

With the above commit, the following scenario becomes possible: cpu1 cpu2 hrtimer_interrupt -> bpf_overflow_handler (due to closing link_fd) bpf_perf_link_release -> perf_event_free_bpf_prog -> perf_event_free_bpf_handler -> WRITE_ONCE(event->overflow_handler, event->orig_overflow_handler) event->prog = NULL bpf_prog_run(event->prog, &ctx) In the above case, the event->prog is NULL for bpf_prog_run, hence causing oops. To fix the issue, check whether event->prog is NULL or not. If it is, do not call bpf_prog_run. This seems working as the above reproducible step runs more than one hour and I didn't see any failures.

bpf: Allow to specify user-provided bpf_cookie for BPF perf links Add ability for users to specify custom u64 value (bpf_cookie) when creating BPF link for perf_event-backed BPF programs (kprobe/uprobe, perf_event, tracepoints). This is useful for cases when the same BPF program is used for attaching and processing invocation of different tracepoints/kprobes/uprobes in a generic fashion, but such that each invocation is distinguished from each other (e.g., BPF program can look up additional information associated with a specific kernel function without having to rely on function IP lookups). This enables new use cases to be implemented simply and efficiently that previously were possible only through code generation (and thus multiple instances of almost identical BPF program) or compilation at runtime (BCC-style) on target hosts (even more expensive resource-wise). For uprobes it is not even possible in some cases to know function IP before hand (e.g., when attaching to shared library without PID filtering, in which case base load address is not known for a library). This is done by storing u64 bpf_cookie in struct bpf_prog_array_item, corresponding to each attached and run BPF program. Given cgroup BPF programs already use two 8-byte pointers for their needs and cgroup BPF programs don't have (yet?) support for bpf_cookie, reuse that space through union of cgroup_storage and new bpf_cookie field. Make it available to kprobe/tracepoint BPF programs through bpf_trace_run_ctx. This is set by BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY, used by kprobe/uprobe/tracepoint BPF program execution code, which luckily is now also split from BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY_CG. This run context will be utilized by a new BPF helper giving access to this user-provided cookie value from inside a BPF program. Generic perf_event BPF programs will access this value from perf_event itself through passed in BPF program context.

bpf: Implement minimal BPF perf link Introduce a new type of BPF link - BPF perf link. This brings perf_event-based BPF program attachments (perf_event, tracepoints, kprobes, and uprobes) into the common BPF link infrastructure, allowing to list all active perf_event based attachments, auto-detaching BPF program from perf_event when link's FD is closed, get generic BPF link fdinfo/get_info functionality. BPF_LINK_CREATE command expects perf_event's FD as target_fd. No extra flags are currently supported. Force-detaching and atomic BPF program updates are not yet implemented, but with perf_event-based BPF links we now have common framework for this without the need to extend ioctl()-based perf_event interface. One interesting consideration is a new value for bpf_attach_type, which BPF_LINK_CREATE command expects. Generally, it's either 1-to-1 mapping from bpf_attach_type to bpf_prog_type, or many-to-1 mapping from a subset of bpf_attach_types to one bpf_prog_type (e.g., see BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_SKB or BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK). In this case, though, we have three different program types (KPROBE, TRACEPOINT, PERF_EVENT) using the same perf_event-based mechanism, so it's many bpf_prog_types to one bpf_attach_type. I chose to define a single BPF_PERF_EVENT attach type for all of them and adjust link_create()'s logic for checking correspondence between attach type and program type. The alternative would be to define three new attach types (e.g., BPF_KPROBE, BPF_TRACEPOINT, and BPF_PERF_EVENT), but that seemed like unnecessary overkill and BPF_KPROBE will cause naming conflicts with BPF_KPROBE() macro, defined by libbpf. I chose to not do this to avoid unnecessary proliferation of bpf_attach_type enum values and not have to deal with naming conflicts.

bpf: Refactor perf_event_set_bpf_prog() to use struct bpf_prog input Make internal perf_event_set_bpf_prog() use struct bpf_prog pointer as an input argument, which makes it easier to re-use for other internal uses (coming up for BPF link in the next patch). BPF program FD is not as convenient and in some cases it's not available. So switch to struct bpf_prog, move out refcounting outside and let caller do bpf_prog_put() in case of an error. This follows the approach of most of the other BPF internal functions.

bpf: Refactor BPF_PROG_RUN into a function Turn BPF_PROG_RUN into a proper always inlined function. No functional and performance changes are intended, but it makes it much easier to understand what's going on with how BPF programs are actually get executed. It's more obvious what types and callbacks are expected. Also extra () around input parameters can be dropped, as well as `__` variable prefixes intended to avoid naming collisions, which makes the code simpler to read and write. This refactoring also highlighted one extra issue. BPF_PROG_RUN is both a macro and an enum value (BPF_PROG_RUN == BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN). Turning BPF_PROG_RUN into a function causes naming conflict compilation error. So rename BPF_PROG_RUN into lower-case bpf_prog_run(), similar to bpf_prog_run_xdp(), bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu(), etc. All existing callers of BPF_PROG_RUN, the macro, are switched to bpf_prog_run() explicitly.

perf: Fix required permissions if sigtrap is requested If perf_event_open() is called with another task as target and perf_event_attr::sigtrap is set, and the target task's user does not match the calling user, also require the CAP_KILL capability or PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH permissions. Otherwise, with the CAP_PERFMON capability alone it would be possible for a user to send SIGTRAP signals via perf events to another user's tasks. This could potentially result in those tasks being terminated if they cannot handle SIGTRAP signals. Note: The check complements the existing capability check, but is not supposed to supersede the ptrace_may_access() check.

Since each such PMU is represented by a different struct pmu, but we only have a single HW task context. That means that the task context needs to switch PMU type when it switches CPUs. Not doing this means that ctx->pmu calls (pmu_{dis,en}able(), {start,commit,cancel}_txn() etc.) are called against the wrong PMU and things will go wobbly.

perf: Extend PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE Current Hardware events and Hardware cache events have special perf types, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE. The two types don't pass the PMU type in the user interface. For a hybrid system, the perf subsystem doesn't know which PMU the events belong to. The first capable PMU will always be assigned to the events. The events never get a chance to run on the other capable PMUs. Extend the two types to become PMU aware types. The PMU type ID is stored at attr.config[63:32]. Add a new PMU capability, PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_HW_TYPE, to indicate a PMU which supports the extended PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE. The PMU type is only required when searching a specific PMU. The PMU specific codes will only be interested in the 'real' config value, which is stored in the low 32 bit of the event->attr.config. Update the event->attr.config in the generic code, so the PMU specific codes don't need to calculate it separately. If a user specifies a PMU type, but the PMU doesn't support the extended type, error out. If an event cannot be initialized in a PMU specified by a user, error out immediately. Perf should not try to open it on other PMUs. The new PMU capability is only set for the X86 hybrid PMUs for now. Other architectures, e.g., ARM, may need it as well. The support on ARM may be implemented later separately.

perf: Add support for SIGTRAP on perf events Adds bit perf_event_attr::sigtrap, which can be set to cause events to send SIGTRAP (with si_code TRAP_PERF) to the task where the event occurred. The primary motivation is to support synchronous signals on perf events in the task where an event (such as breakpoints) triggered. To distinguish perf events based on the event type, the type is set in si_errno. For events that are associated with an address, si_addr is copied from perf_sample_data. The new field perf_event_attr::sig_data is copied to si_perf, which allows user space to disambiguate which event (of the same type) triggered the signal. For example, user space could encode the relevant information it cares about in sig_data. We note that the choice of an opaque u64 provides the simplest and most flexible option. Alternatives where a reference to some user space data is passed back suffer from the problem that modification of referenced data (be it the event fd, or the perf_event_attr) can race with the signal being delivered (of course, the same caveat applies if user space decides to store a pointer in sig_data, but the ABI explicitly avoids prescribing such a design).

perf: Rework perf_event_exit_event() Make perf_event_exit_event() more robust, such that we can use it from other contexts. Specifically the up and coming remove_on_exec. For this to work we need to address a few issues. Remove_on_exec will not destroy the entire context, so we cannot rely on TASK_TOMBSTONE to disable event_function_call() and we thus have to use perf_remove_from_context(). When using perf_remove_from_context(), there's two races to consider. The first is against close(), where we can have concurrent tear-down of the event. The second is against child_list iteration, which should not find a half baked event. To address this, teach perf_remove_from_context() to special case !ctx->is_active and about DETACH_CHILD.

perf/core: Fix unconditional security_locked_down() call Currently, the lockdown state is queried unconditionally, even though its result is used only if the PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR bit is set in attr.sample_type. While that doesn't matter in case of the Lockdown LSM, it causes trouble with the SELinux's lockdown hook implementation. SELinux implements the locked_down hook with a check whether the current task's type has the corresponding "lockdown" class permission ("integrity" or "confidentiality") allowed in the policy. This means that calling the hook when the access control decision would be ignored generates a bogus permission check and audit record. Fix this by checking sample_type first and only calling the hook when its result would be honored.

perf core: Add a kmem_cache for struct perf_event The kernel can allocate a lot of struct perf_event when profiling. For example, 256 cpu x 8 events x 20 cgroups = 40K instances of the struct would be allocated on a large system. The size of struct perf_event in my setup is 1152 byte. As it's allocated by kmalloc, the actual allocation size would be rounded up to 2K. Then there's 896 byte (~43%) of waste per instance resulting in total ~35MB with 40K instances. We can create a dedicated kmem_cache to avoid such a big unnecessary memory consumption. With this change, I can see below (note this machine has 112 cpus). # grep perf_event /proc/slabinfo perf_event 224 784 1152 7 2 : tunables 24 12 8 : slabdata 112 112 0 The sixth column is pages-per-slab which is 2, and the fifth column is obj-per-slab which is 7. Thus actually it can use 1152 x 7 = 8064 byte in the 8K, and wasted memory is (8192 - 8064) / 7 = ~18 byte per instance.

perf/core: Flush PMU internal buffers for per-CPU events Sometimes the PMU internal buffers have to be flushed for per-CPU events during a context switch, e.g., large PEBS. Otherwise, the perf tool may report samples in locations that do not belong to the process where the samples are processed in, because PEBS does not tag samples with PID/TID. The current code only flush the buffers for a per-task event. It doesn't check a per-CPU event. Add a new event state flag, PERF_ATTACH_SCHED_CB, to indicate that the PMU internal buffers have to be flushed for this event during a context switch. Add sched_cb_entry and perf_sched_cb_usages back to track the PMU/cpuctx which is required to be flushed. Only need to invoke the sched_task() for per-CPU events in this patch. The per-task events have been handled in perf_event_context_sched_in/out already.

perf/core: Add PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT Current PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type is very useful to expresses the cost of an action represented by the sample. This allows the profiler to scale the samples to be more informative to the programmer. It could also help to locate a hotspot, e.g., when profiling by memory latencies, the expensive load appear higher up in the histograms. But current PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type is solely determined by one factor. This could be a problem, if users want two or more factors to contribute to the weight. For example, Golden Cove core PMU can provide both the instruction latency and the cache Latency information as factors for the memory profiling. For current X86 platforms, although meminfo::latency is defined as a u64, only the lower 32 bits include the valid data in practice (No memory access could last than 4G cycles). The higher 32 bits can be used to store new factors. Add a new sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, to indicate the new sample weight structure. It shares the same space as the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. Users can apply either the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type or the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type to retrieve the sample weight, but they cannot apply both sample types simultaneously. Currently, only X86 and PowerPC use the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. - For PowerPC, there is nothing changed for the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. There is no effect for the new PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type. PowerPC can re-struct the weight field similarly later. - For X86, the same value will be dumped for the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type or the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type for now. The following patches will apply the new factors for the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type. The field in the union perf_sample_weight should be shared among different architectures. A generic name is required, but it's hard to abstract a name that applies to all architectures. For example, on X86, the fields are to store all kinds of latency. While on PowerPC, it stores MMCRA[TECX/TECM], which should not be latency. So a general name prefix 'var$NUM' is used here.

exec: Transform exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore Recently syzbot reported[0] that there is a deadlock amongst the users of exec_update_mutex. The problematic lock ordering found by lockdep was: perf_event_open (exec_update_mutex -> ovl_i_mutex) chown (ovl_i_mutex -> sb_writes) sendfile (sb_writes -> p->lock) by reading from a proc file and writing to overlayfs proc_pid_syscall (p->lock -> exec_update_mutex) While looking at possible solutions it occured to me that all of the users and possible users involved only wanted to state of the given process to remain the same. They are all readers. The only writer is exec. There is no reason for readers to block on each other. So fix this deadlock by transforming exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore named exec_update_lock that only exec takes for writing.

perf/core: Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE When studying code layout, it is useful to capture the page size of the sampled code address. Add a new sample type for code page size. The new sample type requires collecting the ip. The code page size can be calculated from the NMI-safe perf_get_page_size(). For large PEBS, it's very unlikely that the mapping is gone for the earlier PEBS records. Enable the feature for the large PEBS. The worst case is that page-size '0' is returned.

perf/core: Add PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_PAGE_SIZE Current perf can report both virtual addresses and physical addresses, but not the MMU page size. Without the MMU page size information of the utilized page, users cannot decide whether to promote/demote large pages to optimize memory usage. Add a new sample type for the data MMU page size. Current perf already has a facility to collect data virtual addresses. A page walker is required to walk the pages tables and calculate the MMU page size from a given virtual address. On some platforms, e.g., X86, the page walker is invoked in an NMI handler. So the page walker must be NMI-safe and low overhead. Besides, the page walker should work for both user and kernel virtual address. The existing generic page walker, e.g., walk_page_range_novma(), is a little bit complex and doesn't guarantee the NMI-safe. The follow_page() is only for user-virtual address. Add a new function perf_get_page_size() to walk the page tables and calculate the MMU page size. In the function: - Interrupts have to be disabled to prevent any teardown of the page tables. - For user space threads, the current->mm is used for the page walker. For kernel threads and the like, the current->mm is NULL. The init_mm is used for the page walker. The active_mm is not used here, because it can be NULL. Quote from Peter Zijlstra, "context_switch() can set prev->active_mm to NULL when it transfers it to @next. It does this before @current is updated. So an NMI that comes in between this active_mm swizzling and updating @current will see !active_mm." - The MMU page size is calculated from the page table level. The method should work for all architectures, but it has only been verified on X86. Should there be some architectures, which support perf, where the method doesn't work, it can be fixed later separately. Reporting the wrong page size would not be fatal for the architecture. Some under discussion features may impact the method in the future. Quote from Dave Hansen, "There are lots of weird things folks are trying to do with the page tables, like Address Space Isolation. For instance, if you get a perf NMI when running userspace, current->mm->pgd is *different* than the PGD that was in use when userspace was running. It's close enough today, but it might not stay that way." If the case happens later, lots of consecutive page walk errors will happen. The worst case is that lots of page-size '0' are returned, which would not be fatal. In the perf tool, a check is implemented to detect this case. Once it happens, a kernel patch could be implemented accordingly then.

perf/core: Fix race in the perf_mmap_close() function There's a possible race in perf_mmap_close() when checking ring buffer's mmap_count refcount value. The problem is that the mmap_count check is not atomic because we call atomic_dec() and atomic_read() separately. perf_mmap_close: ... atomic_dec(&rb->mmap_count); ... if (atomic_read(&rb->mmap_count)) goto out_put; <ring buffer detach> free_uid out_put: ring_buffer_put(rb); /* could be last */ The race can happen when we have two (or more) events sharing same ring buffer and they go through atomic_dec() and then they both see 0 as refcount value later in atomic_read(). Then both will go on and execute code which is meant to be run just once. The code that detaches ring buffer is probably fine to be executed more than once, but the problem is in calling free_uid(), which will later on demonstrate in related crashes and refcount warnings, like: refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free. ...

perf/core: Pull pmu::sched_task() into perf_event_context_sched_out() The pmu::sched_task() is a context switch callback. It passes the cpuctx->task_ctx as a parameter to the lower code. To find the cpuctx->task_ctx, the current code iterates a cpuctx list. The same context will iterated in perf_event_context_sched_out() soon. Share the cpuctx->task_ctx can avoid the unnecessary iteration of the cpuctx list. The pmu::sched_task() is also required for the optimization case for equivalent contexts. The task_ctx_sched_out() will eventually disable and reenable the PMU when schedule out events. Add perf_pmu_disable() and perf_pmu_enable() around task_ctx_sched_out() don't break anything. Drop the cpuctx->ctx.lock for the pmu::sched_task(). The lock is for per-CPU context, which is not necessary for the per-task context schedule. No one uses sched_cb_entry, perf_sched_cb_usages, sched_cb_list, and perf_pmu_sched_task() any more.

perf/core: Pull pmu::sched_task() into perf_event_context_sched_in() The pmu::sched_task() is a context switch callback. It passes the cpuctx->task_ctx as a parameter to the lower code. To find the cpuctx->task_ctx, the current code iterates a cpuctx list. The same context was just iterated in perf_event_context_sched_in(), which is invoked right before the pmu::sched_task(). Reuse the cpuctx->task_ctx from perf_event_context_sched_in() can avoid the unnecessary iteration of the cpuctx list. Both pmu::sched_task and perf_event_context_sched_in() have to disable PMU. Pull the pmu::sched_task into perf_event_context_sched_in() can also save the overhead from the PMU disable and reenable. The new and old tasks may have equivalent contexts. The current code optimize this case by swapping the context, which avoids the scheduling. For this case, pmu::sched_task() is still required, e.g., restore the LBR content.

perf/core: Use kmem_cache to allocate the PMU specific data Currently, the PMU specific data task_ctx_data is allocated by the function kzalloc() in the perf generic code. When there is no specific alignment requirement for the task_ctx_data, the method works well for now. However, there will be a problem once a specific alignment requirement is introduced in future features, e.g., the Architecture LBR XSAVE feature requires 64-byte alignment. If the specific alignment requirement is not fulfilled, the XSAVE family of instructions will fail to save/restore the xstate to/from the task_ctx_data. The function kzalloc() itself only guarantees a natural alignment. A new method to allocate the task_ctx_data has to be introduced, which has to meet the requirements as below: - must be a generic method can be used by different architectures, because the allocation of the task_ctx_data is implemented in the perf generic code; - must be an alignment-guarantee method (The alignment requirement is not changed after the boot); - must be able to allocate/free a buffer (smaller than a page size) dynamically; - should not cause extra CPU overhead or space overhead. Several options were considered as below: - One option is to allocate a larger buffer for task_ctx_data. E.g., ptr = kmalloc(size + alignment, GFP_KERNEL); ptr &= ~(alignment - 1); This option causes space overhead. - Another option is to allocate the task_ctx_data in the PMU specific code. To do so, several function pointers have to be added. As a result, both the generic structure and the PMU specific structure will become bigger. Besides, extra function calls are added when allocating/freeing the buffer. This option will increase both the space overhead and CPU overhead. - The third option is to use a kmem_cache to allocate a buffer for the task_ctx_data. The kmem_cache can be created with a specific alignment requirement by the PMU at boot time. A new pointer for kmem_cache has to be added in the generic struct pmu, which would be used to dynamically allocate a buffer for the task_ctx_data at run time. Although the new pointer is added to the struct pmu, the existing variable task_ctx_size is not required anymore. The size of the generic structure is kept the same. The third option which meets all the aforementioned requirements is used to replace kzalloc() for the PMU specific data allocation. A later patch will remove the kzalloc() method and the related variables.

perf: Add perf text poke event Record (single instruction) changes to the kernel text (i.e. self-modifying code) in order to support tracers like Intel PT and ARM CoreSight. A copy of the running kernel code is needed as a reference point (e.g. from /proc/kcore). The text poke event records the old bytes and the new bytes so that the event can be processed forwards or backwards. The basic problem is recording the modified instruction in an unambiguous manner given SMP instruction cache (in)coherence. That is, when modifying an instruction concurrently any solution with one or multiple timestamps is not sufficient: CPU0 CPU1 0 1 write insn A 2 execute insn A 3 sync-I$ 4 Due to I$, CPU1 might execute either the old or new A. No matter where we record tracepoints on CPU0, one simply cannot tell what CPU1 will have observed, except that at 0 it must be the old one and at 4 it must be the new one. To solve this, take inspiration from x86 text poking, which has to solve this exact problem due to variable length instruction encoding and I-fetch windows. 1) overwrite the instruction with a breakpoint and sync I$ This guarantees that that code flow will never hit the target instruction anymore, on any CPU (or rather, it will cause an exception). 2) issue the TEXT_POKE event 3) overwrite the breakpoint with the new instruction and sync I$ Now we know that any execution after the TEXT_POKE event will either observe the breakpoint (and hit the exception) or the new instruction. So by guarding the TEXT_POKE event with an exception on either side; we can now tell, without doubt, which instruction another CPU will have observed.

As part of this we will get rid of write parameter. Instead caller will pass FOLL_WRITE to get_user_pages_fast_only(). This will not change any existing functionality of the API. All the callers are changed to pass FOLL_WRITE. Also introduce get_user_page_fast_only(), and use it in a few places that hard-code nr_pages to 1. Updated the documentation of the API.

perf: Add cond_resched() to task_function_call() Under rare circumstances, task_function_call() can repeatedly fail and cause a soft lockup. There is a slight race where the process is no longer running on the cpu we targeted by the time remote_function() runs. The code will simply try again. If we are very unlucky, this will continue to fail, until a watchdog fires. This can happen in a heavily loaded, multi-core virtual machine.

perf/core: Fix event cgroup tracking Song reports that installing cgroup events is broken since: db0503e4f675 ("perf/core: Optimize perf_install_in_event()") The problem being that cgroup events try to track cpuctx->cgrp even for disabled events, which is pointless and actively harmful since the above commit. Rework the code to have explicit enable/disable hooks for cgroup events, such that we can limit cgroup tracking to active events. More specifically, since the above commit disabled events are no longer added to their context from the 'right' CPU, and we can't access things like the current cgroup for a remote CPU.

It will add a 64-bit id to identify current cgroup and it's the file handle in the cgroup file system. Userspace should use this information with PERF_RECORD_CGROUP event to match which cgroup it belongs. I put it before PERF_SAMPLE_AUX for simplicity since it just needs a 64-bit word.

perf/core: Add PERF_RECORD_CGROUP event To support cgroup tracking, add CGROUP event to save a link between cgroup path and id number. This is needed since cgroups can go away when userspace tries to read the cgroup info (from the id) later. The attr.cgroup bit was also added to enable cgroup tracking from userspace.

perf/cgroup: Order events in RB tree by cgroup id If one is monitoring 6 events on 20 cgroups the per-CPU RB tree will hold 120 events. The scheduling in of the events currently iterates over all events looking to see which events match the task's cgroup or its cgroup hierarchy. If a task is in 1 cgroup with 6 events, then 114 events are considered unnecessarily. This change orders events in the RB tree by cgroup id if it is present. This means scheduling in may go directly to events associated with the task's cgroup if one is present. The per-CPU iterator storage in visit_groups_merge is sized sufficent for an iterator per cgroup depth, where different iterators are needed for the task's cgroup and parent cgroups. By considering the set of iterators when visiting, the lowest group_index event may be selected and the insertion order group_index property is maintained. This also allows event rotation to function correctly, as although events are grouped into a cgroup, rotation always selects the lowest group_index event to rotate (delete/insert into the tree) and the min heap of iterators make it so that the group_index order is maintained.

perf/core: Add new branch sample type for HW index of raw branch records The low level index is the index in the underlying hardware buffer of the most recently captured taken branch which is always saved in branch_entries[0]. It is very useful for reconstructing the call stack. For example, in Intel LBR call stack mode, the depth of reconstructed LBR call stack limits to the number of LBR registers. With the low level index information, perf tool may stitch the stacks of two samples. The reconstructed LBR call stack can break the HW limitation. Add a new branch sample type to retrieve low level index of raw branch records. The low level index is between -1 (unknown) and max depth which can be retrieved in /sys/devices/cpu/caps/branches. Only when the new branch sample type is set, the low level index information is dumped into the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK output. Perf tool should check the attr.branch_sample_type, and apply the corresponding format for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK samples. Otherwise, some user case may be broken. For example, users may parse a perf.data, which include the new branch sample type, with an old version perf tool (without the check). Users probably get incorrect information without any warning.

perf/cgroups: Install cgroup events to correct cpuctx cgroup events are always installed in the cpuctx. However, when it is not installed via IPI, list_update_cgroup_event() adds it to cpuctx of current CPU, which triggers list corruption: [] list_add double add: new=ffff888ff7cf0db0, prev=ffff888ff7ce82f0, next=ffff888ff7cf0db0.

perf: Make struct ring_buffer less ambiguous eBPF requires needing to know the size of the perf ring buffer structure. But it unfortunately has the same name as the generic ring buffer used by tracing and oprofile. To make it less ambiguous, rename the perf ring buffer structure to "perf_buffer". As other parts of the ring buffer code has "perf_" as the prefix, it only makes sense to give the ring buffer the "perf_" prefix as well.

perf/aux: Allow using AUX data in perf samples AUX data can be used to annotate perf events such as performance counters or tracepoints/breakpoints by including it in sample records when PERF_SAMPLE_AUX flag is set. Such samples would be instrumental in debugging and profiling by providing, for example, a history of instruction flow leading up to the event's overflow. The implementation makes use of grouping an AUX event with all the events that wish to take samples of the AUX data, such that the former is the group leader. The samplees should also specify the desired size of the AUX sample via attr.aux_sample_size. AUX capable PMUs need to explicitly add support for sampling, because it relies on a new callback to take a snapshot of the buffer without touching the event states.

This greatly reduces the chances of hitting the linear search.

perf/core: Optimize perf_install_in_event() Andi reported that when creating a lot of events, a lot of time is spent in IPIs and asked if it would be possible to elide some of that. Now when, as for example the perf-tool always does, events are created disabled, then these events will not need to be scheduled when added to the context (they're still disable) and therefore the IPI is not required -- except for the very first event, that will need to set ctx->is_active. ( It might be possible to set ctx->is_active remotely for cpu_ctx, but we really need the IPI for task_ctx, so lets not make that distinction. ) Also use __perf_effective_state() since group events depend on the state of the leader, if the leader is OFF, the whole group is OFF. So when sibling events are created enabled (XXX check tool) then we only need a single IPI to create and enable the whole group (+ that initial IPI to initialize the context).

perf/aux: Fix AUX output stopping Commit: 8a58ddae2379 ("perf/core: Fix exclusive events' grouping") allows CAP_EXCLUSIVE events to be grouped with other events. Since all of those also happen to be AUX events (which is not the case the other way around, because arch/s390), this changes the rules for stopping the output: the AUX event may not be on its PMU's context any more, if it's grouped with a HW event, in which case it will be on that HW event's context instead. If that's the case, munmap() of the AUX buffer can't find and stop the AUX event, potentially leaving the last reference with the atomic context, which will then end up freeing the AUX buffer. This will then trip warnings: Fix this by using the context's PMU context when looking for events to stop, instead of the event's PMU context.

perf/aux: Fix tracking of auxiliary trace buffer allocation The following commit from the v5.4 merge window: d44248a41337 ("perf/core: Rework memory accounting in perf_mmap()") ... breaks auxiliary trace buffer tracking.

Note: There is no issue using the normal trace buffer. In fact the issue is in perf_mmap_close(). During allocation auxiliary trace buffer memory is either traced as 'extra' and added to 'pinned_vm' or trace as 'user_extra' and added to 'locked_vm'. This applies for normal trace buffers and auxiliary trace buffer. However in function perf_mmap_close() all auxiliary trace buffer is subtraced from 'locked_vm' and never from 'pinned_vm'. This breaks the ballance.

perf_event: Add support for LSM and SELinux checks In current mainline, the degree of access to perf_event_open(2) system call depends on the perf_event_paranoid sysctl. This has a number of limitations: 1. The sysctl is only a single value. Many types of accesses are controlled based on the single value thus making the control very limited and coarse grained. 2. The sysctl is global, so if the sysctl is changed, then that means all processes get access to perf_event_open(2) opening the door to security issues. This patch adds LSM and SELinux access checking which will be used in Android to access perf_event_open(2) for the purposes of attaching BPF programs to tracepoints, perf profiling and other operations from userspace. These operations are intended for production systems. 5 new LSM hooks are added: 1. perf_event_open: This controls access during the perf_event_open(2) syscall itself. The hook is called from all the places that the perf_event_paranoid sysctl is checked to keep it consistent with the systctl. The hook gets passed a 'type' argument which controls CPU, kernel and tracepoint accesses (in this context, CPU, kernel and tracepoint have the same semantics as the perf_event_paranoid sysctl). Additionally, I added an 'open' type which is similar to perf_event_paranoid sysctl == 3 patch carried in Android and several other distros but was rejected in mainline [1] in 2016. 2. perf_event_alloc: This allocates a new security object for the event which stores the current SID within the event. It will be useful when the perf event's FD is passed through IPC to another process which may try to read the FD. Appropriate security checks will limit access. 3. perf_event_free: Called when the event is closed. 4. perf_event_read: Called from the read(2) and mmap(2) syscalls for the event. 5. perf_event_write: Called from the ioctl(2) syscalls for the event. [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/696240/ Since Peter had suggest LSM hooks in 2016 [1], I am adding his Suggested-by tag below. To use this patch, we set the perf_event_paranoid sysctl to -1 and then apply selinux checking as appropriate (default deny everything, and then add policy rules to give access to domains that need it). In the future we can remove the perf_event_paranoid sysctl altogether.

perf/core: Fix corner case in perf_rotate_context() In perf_rotate_context(), when the first cpu flexible event fail to schedule, cpu_rotate is 1, while cpu_event is NULL. Since cpu_event is NULL, perf_rotate_context will _NOT_ call cpu_ctx_sched_out(), thus cpuctx->ctx.is_active will have EVENT_FLEXIBLE set. Then, the next perf_event_sched_in() will skip all cpu flexible events because of the EVENT_FLEXIBLE bit. In the next call of perf_rotate_context(), cpu_rotate stays 1, and cpu_event stays NULL, so this process repeats. The end result is, flexible events on this cpu will not be scheduled (until another event being added to the cpuctx). Here is an easy repro of this issue. On Intel CPUs, where ref-cycles could only use one counter, run one pinned event for ref-cycles, one flexible event for ref-cycles, and one flexible event for cycles. The flexible ref-cycles is never scheduled, which is expected. However, because of this issue, the cycles event is never scheduled either. $ perf stat -e ref-cycles:D,ref-cycles,cycles -C 5 -I 1000 time counts unit events 1.000152973 15,412,480 ref-cycles:D 1.000152973 <not counted> ref-cycles (0.00%) 1.000152973 <not counted> cycles (0.00%) 2.000486957 18,263,120 ref-cycles:D 2.000486957 <not counted> ref-cycles (0.00%) 2.000486957 <not counted> cycles (0.00%) To fix this, when the flexible_active list is empty, try rotate the first event in the flexible_groups. Also, rename ctx_first_active() to ctx_event_to_rotate(), which is more accurate.

perf: Allow normal events to output AUX data In some cases, ordinary (non-AUX) events can generate data for AUX events. For example, PEBS events can come out as records in the Intel PT stream instead of their usual DS records, if configured to do so. One requirement for such events is to consistently schedule together, to ensure that the data from the "AUX output" events isn't lost while their corresponding AUX event is not scheduled. We use grouping to provide this guarantee: an "AUX output" event can be added to a group where an AUX event is a group leader, and provided that the former supports writing to the latter.

perf/core: Fix exclusive events' grouping So far, we tried to disallow grouping exclusive events for the fear of complications they would cause with moving between contexts. Specifically, moving a software group to a hardware context would violate the exclusivity rules if both groups contain matching exclusive events. This attempt was, however, unsuccessful: the check that we have in the perf_event_open() syscall is both wrong (looks at wrong PMU) and insufficient (group leader may still be exclusive), as can be illustrated by running: $ perf record -e '{intel_pt//,cycles}' uname $ perf record -e '{cycles,intel_pt//}' uname ultimately successfully. Furthermore, we are completely free to trigger the exclusivity violation by: perf -e '{cycles,intel_pt//}' -e '{intel_pt//,instructions}' even though the helpful perf record will not allow that, the ABI will. The warning later in the perf_event_open() path will also not trigger, because it's also wrong. Fix all this by validating the original group before moving, getting rid of broken safeguards and placing a useful one to perf_install_in_context().

Which is a 'fun' confluence of fail; copy_process() doing an unconditional free_task() and not respecting refcounts, and perf having creative locking. In particular: 82d94856fa22 ("perf/core: Fix lock inversion between perf,trace,cpuhp") seems to have overlooked this 'fun' parade. Solve it by using the fact that detached events still have a reference count on their (previous) context.

perf/cgroups: Don't rotate events for cgroups unnecessarily Currently perf_rotate_context assumes that if the context's nr_events != nr_active a rotation is necessary for perf event multiplexing. With cgroups, nr_events is the total count of events for all cgroups and nr_active will not include events in a cgroup other than the current task's. This makes rotation appear necessary for cgroups when it is not. Add a perf_event_context flag that is set when rotation is necessary. Clear the flag during sched_out and set it when a flexible sched_in fails due to resources.

perf/core: Allow non-privileged uprobe for user processes Currently, non-privileged user could only use uprobe with kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1 However, setting perf_event_paranoid to -1 leaks other users' processes to non-privileged uprobes. To introduce proper permission control of uprobes, we are building the following system: A daemon with CAP_SYS_ADMIN is in charge to create uprobes via tracefs; Users asks the daemon to create uprobes; Then user can attach uprobe only to processes owned by the user. This patch allows non-privileged user to attach uprobe to processes owned by the user. The following example shows how to use uprobe with non-privileged user. This is based on Brendan's blog post [1] 1. Create uprobe with root: sudo perf probe -x 'readline%return +0($retval):string' 2. Then non-root user can use the uprobe as: perf record -vvv -e probe_bash:readline__return -p <pid> sleep 20 perf script [1] http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2015-06-28/linux-ftrace-uprobe.html Signed-off-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: <kernel-team@fb.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190507161545.788381-1-songliubraving@fb.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

perf/core: Fix perf_event_disable_inatomic() race Thomas-Mich Richter reported he triggered a WARN()ing from event_function_local() on his s390. The problem boils down to: CPU-A CPU-B perf_event_overflow() perf_event_disable_inatomic() @pending_disable = 1 irq_work_queue(); sched-out event_sched_out() @pending_disable = 0 sched-in perf_event_overflow() perf_event_disable_inatomic() @pending_disable = 1; irq_work_queue(); // FAILS irq_work_run() perf_pending_event() if (@pending_disable) perf_event_disable_local(); // WHOOPS The problem exists in generic, but s390 is particularly sensitive because it doesn't implement arch_irq_work_raise(), nor does it call irq_work_run() from it's PMU interrupt handler (nor would that be sufficient in this case, because s390 also generates perf_event_overflow() from pmu::stop). Add to that the fact that s390 is a virtual architecture and (virtual) CPU-A can stall long enough for the above race to happen, even if it would self-IPI. Adding a irq_work_sync() to event_sched_in() would work for all hardare PMUs that properly use irq_work_run() but fails for software PMUs. Instead encode the CPU number in @pending_disable, such that we can tell which CPU requested the disable. This then allows us to detect the above scenario and even redirect the IPI to make up for the failed queue.

perf/core: Restore mmap record type correctly On mmap(), perf_events generates a RECORD_MMAP record and then checks which events are interested in this record. There are currently 2 versions of mmap records: RECORD_MMAP and RECORD_MMAP2. MMAP2 is larger. The event configuration controls which version the user level tool accepts. If the event->attr.mmap2=1 field then MMAP2 record is returned. The perf_event_mmap_output() takes care of this. It checks attr->mmap2 and corrects the record fields before putting it in the sampling buffer of the event. At the end the function restores the modified MMAP record fields. The problem is that the function restores the size but not the type. Thus, if a subsequent event only accepts MMAP type, then it would instead receive an MMAP2 record with a size of MMAP record. This patch fixes the problem by restoring the record type on exit.

perf, pt, coresight: Fix address filters for vmas with non-zero offset Currently, the address range calculation for file-based filters works as long as the vma that maps the matching part of the object file starts from offset zero into the file (vm_pgoff==0). Otherwise, the resulting filter range would be off by vm_pgoff pages. Another related problem is that in case of a partially matching vma, that is, a vma that matches part of a filter region, the filter range size wouldn't be adjusted. Fix the arithmetics around address filter range calculations, taking into account vma offset, so that the entire calculation is done before the filter configuration is passed to the PMU drivers instead of having those drivers do the final bit of arithmetics.

Following sequence will cause the crash: If we create an 'almost' BTS event with precise_ip and callchains, and it into a BTS event it will crash the perf_prepare_sample() function because precise_ip events are expected to come in with callchain data initialized, but that's not the case for intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() caller. Adding a check_period callback to be called before the period is changed via PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD. It will deny the change if the event would become BTS. Plus adding also the limit_period check as well.

mm: make mm->pinned_vm an atomic64 counter Taking a sleeping lock to _only_ increment a variable is quite the overkill, and pretty much all users do this. Furthermore, some drivers (ie: infiniband and scif) that need pinned semantics can go to quite some trouble to actually delay via workqueue (un)accounting for pinned pages when not possible to acquire it. By making the counter atomic we no longer need to hold the mmap_sem and can simply some code around it for pinned_vm users. The counter is 64-bit such that we need not worry about overflows such as rdma user input controlled from userspace.

perf, bpf: Introduce PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT For better performance analysis of BPF programs, this patch introduces PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, a new perf_event_type that exposes BPF program load/unload information to user space. Each BPF program may contain up to BPF_MAX_SUBPROGS (256) sub programs. The following example shows kernel symbols for a BPF program with 7 sub programs: ffffffffa0257cf9 t bpf_prog_b07ccb89267cf242_F ffffffffa02592e1 t bpf_prog_2dcecc18072623fc_F ffffffffa025b0e9 t bpf_prog_bb7a405ebaec5d5c_F ffffffffa025dd2c t bpf_prog_a7540d4a39ec1fc7_F ffffffffa025fcca t bpf_prog_05762d4ade0e3737_F ffffffffa026108f t bpf_prog_db4bd11e35df90d4_F ffffffffa0263f00 t bpf_prog_89d64e4abf0f0126_F ffffffffa0257cf9 t bpf_prog_ae31629322c4b018__dummy_tracepoi When a bpf program is loaded, PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL is generated for each of these sub programs. Therefore, PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is not needed for simple profiling. For annotation, user space need to listen to PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and gather more information about these (sub) programs via sys_bpf.

perf/core: Add PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE for exclusion incapable PMUs Many PMU drivers do not have the capability to exclude counting events that occur in specific contexts such as idle, kernel, guest, etc. These drivers indicate this by returning an error in their event_init upon testing the events attribute flags. This approach is error prone and often inconsistent. Let's instead allow PMU drivers to advertise their inability to exclude based on context via a new capability: PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE. This allows the perf core to reject requests for exclusion events where there is no support in the PMU.

perf core: Fix perf_proc_update_handler() bug The perf_proc_update_handler() handles /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate syctl variable. When the PMU IRQ handler timing monitoring is disabled, i.e, when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent is equal to 0 or 100, then no modification to sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate is allowed to prevent possible hang from wrong values. The problem is that the test to prevent modification is made after the sysctl variable is modified in perf_proc_update_handler(). You get an error: $ echo 10001 >/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate echo: write error: invalid argument But the value is still modified causing all sorts of inconsistencies: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 10001 This patch fixes the problem by moving the parsing of the value after the test.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

perf/ring_buffer: Prevent concurent ring buffer access Some of the scheduling tracepoints allow the perf_tp_event code to write to ring buffer under different cpu than the code is running on. This results in corrupted ring buffer data demonstrated in following perf commands: # perf record -e 'sched:sched_switch,sched:sched_wakeup' perf bench sched messaging # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark: # 20 sender and receiver processes per group # 10 groups == 400 processes run Total time: 0.383 [sec] [ perf record: Woken up 8 times to write data ] 0x42b890 [0]: failed to process type: -1765585640 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.825 MB perf.data (29669 samples) ] # perf report --stdio 0x42b890 [0]: failed to process type: -1765585640 The reason for the corruption are some of the scheduling tracepoints, that have __perf_task dfined and thus allow to store data to another cpu ring buffer: sched_waking sched_wakeup sched_wakeup_new sched_stat_wait sched_stat_sleep sched_stat_iowait sched_stat_blocked The perf_tp_event function first store samples for current cpu related events defined for tracepoint: hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(event, head, hlist_entry) perf_swevent_event(event, count, &data, regs); And then iterates events of the 'task' and store the sample for any task's event that passes tracepoint checks: ctx = rcu_dereference(task->perf_event_ctxp[perf_sw_context]); list_for_each_entry_rcu(event, &ctx->event_list, event_entry) { if (event->attr.type != PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT) continue; if (event->attr.config != entry->type) continue; perf_swevent_event(event, count, &data, regs); } Above code can race with same code running on another cpu, ending up with 2 cpus trying to store under the same ring buffer, which is specifically not allowed. This patch prevents the problem, by allowing only events with the same current cpu to receive the event. NOTE: this requires the use of (per-task-)per-cpu buffers for this feature to work; perf-record does this.

perf/core: Force USER_DS when recording user stack data Perf can record user stack data in response to a synchronous request, such as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), then we end up reading user stack data using __copy_from_user_inatomic() under set_fs(KERNEL_DS). I think this conflicts with the intention of using set_fs(KERNEL_DS). And it is explicitly forbidden by hardware on ARM64 when both CONFIG_ARM64_UAO and CONFIG_ARM64_PAN are used.

arm64: perf: Add cap_user_time aarch64 It is useful to get the running time of a thread. Doing so in an efficient manner can be important for performance of user applications. Avoiding system calls in `clock_gettime` when handling CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID is important. Other clocks are handled in the VDSO, but CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID falls back on the system call. CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID is not handled in the VDSO since it would have costs associated with maintaining updated user space accessible time offsets. These offsets have to be updated everytime the a thread is scheduled/descheduled. However, for programs regularly checking the running time of a thread, this is a performance improvement. This patch takes a middle ground, and adds support for cap_user_time an optional feature of the perf_event API. This way costs are only incurred when the perf_event api is enabled. This is done the same way as it is in x86. Ultimately this allows calculating the thread running time in userspace on aarch64 as follows (adapted from perf_event_open manpage): u32 seq, time_mult, time_shift; u64 running, count, time_offset, quot, rem, delta; struct perf_event_mmap_page *pc; pc = buf; // buf is the perf event mmaped page as documented in the API. if (pc->cap_usr_time) { do { seq = pc->lock; barrier(); running = pc->time_running; count = readCNTVCT_EL0(); // Read ARM hardware clock. time_offset = pc->time_offset; time_mult = pc->time_mult; time_shift = pc->time_shift; barrier(); } while (pc->lock != seq); quot = (count >> time_shift); rem = count & (((u64)1 << time_shift) - 1); delta = time_offset + quot * time_mult + ((rem * time_mult) >> time_shift); running += delta; // running now has the current nanosecond level thread time. } Summary of changes in the patch: For aarch64 systems, make arch_perf_update_userpage update the timing information stored in the perf_event page. Requiring the following calculations: - Calculate the appropriate time_mult, and time_shift factors to convert ticks to nano seconds for the current clock frequency. - Adjust the mult and shift factors to avoid shift factors of 32 bits. (possibly unnecessary) - The time_offset userspace should apply when doing calculations: negative the current sched time (now), because time_running and time_enabled fields of the perf_event page have just been updated. Toggle bits to appropriate values: - Enable cap_user_time Signed-off-by: Michael O'Farrell <micpof@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

But we cannot spoof IP because then the sample will get displaced, entirely negating the point of PEBS. So cure the whole thing differently by doing the unwind early; this does however require a means to communicate we did the unwind early.

pid: Implement PIDTYPE_TGID Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and a tasks tgid (thread group id). Even in the enumeration we want that distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID. With leader_pid we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct. Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and into the pids array. Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the leader_pid in signal_struct. The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct. The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest. The long term potential is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove a lot more special cases in the code. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

perf/core: Fix bad use of igrab() As Miklos reported and suggested: "This pattern repeats two times in trace_uprobe.c and in kernel/events/core.c as well: ret = kern_path(filename, LOOKUP_FOLLOW, &path); if (ret) goto fail_address_parse; inode = igrab(d_inode(path.dentry)); path_put(&path); And it's wrong. You can only hold a reference to the inode if you have an active ref to the superblock as well (which is normally through path.mnt) or holding s_umount.

perf/core: Fix group scheduling with mixed hw and sw events When hw and sw events are mixed in the same group, they are all attached to the hw perf_event_context. This sometimes requires moving group of perf_event to a different context. We found a bug in how the kernel handles this, for example if we do: perf stat -e '{faults,ref-cycles,faults}' -I 1000 1.005591180 1,297 faults 1.005591180 457,476,576 ref-cycles 1.005591180 <not supported> faults First, sw event "faults" is attached to the sw context, and becomes the group leader. Then, hw event "ref-cycles" is attached, so both events are moved to the hw context. Last, another sw "faults" tries to attach, but it fails because of mismatch between the new target ctx (from sw pmu) and the group_leader's ctx (hw context, same as ref-cycles). The broken condition is: group_leader is sw event; group_leader is on hw context; add a sw event to the group. Fix this scenario by checking group_leader's context (instead of just event type). If group_leader is on hw context, use the ->pmu of this context to look up context for the new event.

perf/x86/pt, coresight: Clean up address filter structure This is a cosmetic patch that deals with the address filter structure's ambiguous fields 'filter' and 'range'. The former stands to mean that the filter's *action* should be to filter the traces to its address range if it's set or stop tracing if it's unset. This is confusing and hard on the eyes, so this patch replaces it with 'action' enum. The 'range' field is completely redundant (meaning that the filter is an address range as opposed to a single address trigger), as we can use zero size to mean the same thing.

perf/cgroup: Fix child event counting bug When a perf_event is attached to parent cgroup, it should count events for all children cgroups: parent_group <---- perf_event \ - child_group <---- process(es) However, in our tests, we found this perf_event cannot report reliable results. Here is an example case: # create cgroups mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c # start perf for parent group perf stat -e instructions -G "p" # on another console, run test process in child cgroup: stressapptest -s 2 -M 1000 & echo $! > /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c/cgroup.procs # after the test process is done, stop perf in the first console shows <not counted> instructions p The instruction should not be "not counted" as the process runs in the child cgroup. We found this is because perf_event->cgrp and cpuctx->cgrp are not identical, thus perf_event->cgrp are not updated properly. This patch fixes this by updating perf_cgroup properly for ancestor cgroup(s).

perf/core: Implement fast breakpoint modification via _IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES Problem and motivation: Once a breakpoint perf event (PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT) is created, there is no flexibility to change the breakpoint type (bp_type), breakpoint address (bp_addr), or breakpoint length (bp_len). The only option is to close the perf event and configure a new breakpoint event. This inflexibility has a significant performance overhead. For example, sampling-based, lightweight performance profilers (and also concurrency bug detection tools), monitor different addresses for a short duration using PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT and change the address (bp_addr) to another address or change the kind of breakpoint (bp_type) from "write" to a "read" or vice-versa or change the length (bp_len) of the address being monitored. The cost of these modifications is prohibitive since it involves unmapping the circular buffer associated with the perf event, closing the perf event, opening another perf event and mmaping another circular buffer. Solution: The new ioctl flag for perf events, PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES, introduced in this patch takes a pointer to a struct perf_event_attr as an argument to update an old breakpoint event with new address, type, and size. This facility allows retaining a previous mmaped perf events ring buffer and avoids having to close and reopen another perf event. This patch supports only changing PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event type; future implementations can extend this feature. The patch replicates some of its functionality of modify_user_hw_breakpoint() in kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c. modify_user_hw_breakpoint cannot be called directly since perf_event_ctx_lock() is already held in _perf_ioctl(). Evidence: Experiments show that the baseline (not able to modify an already created breakpoint) costs an order of magnitude (~10x) more than the suggested optimization (having the ability to dynamically modifying a configured breakpoint via ioctl). When the breakpoints typically do not trap, the speedup due to the suggested optimization is ~10x; even when the breakpoints always trap, the speedup is ~4x due to the suggested optimization. Testing: tests posted at https://github.com/linux-contrib/perf_event_modify_bp demonstrate the performance significance of this patch. Tests also check the functional correctness of the patch.

perf/core: Fix installing cgroup events on CPU There's two problems when installing cgroup events on CPUs: firstly list_update_cgroup_event() only tries to set cpuctx->cgrp for the first event, if that mismatches on @cgrp we'll not try again for later additions. Secondly, when we install a cgroup event into an active context, only issue an event reprogram when the event matches the current cgroup context. This avoids a pointless event reprogramming.

perf/core: Fix tree based event rotation Similar to how first programming cpu=-1 and then cpu=# is wrong, so is rotating both. It was especially wrong when we were still programming the PMU in this same order, because in that scenario we might never actually end up running cpu=# events at all. Cure this by using the active_list to pick the rotation event; since at programming we already select the left-most event.

perf/core: Fix perf_output_read_group() Mark reported his arm64 perf fuzzer runs sometimes splat like: armv8pmu_read_counter+0x1e8/0x2d8 armpmu_event_update+0x8c/0x188 armpmu_read+0xc/0x18 perf_output_read+0x550/0x11e8 perf_event_read_event+0x1d0/0x248 perf_event_exit_task+0x468/0xbb8 do_exit+0x690/0x1310 do_group_exit+0xd0/0x2b0 get_signal+0x2e8/0x17a8 do_signal+0x144/0x4f8 do_notify_resume+0x148/0x1e8 work_pending+0x8/0x14 which asserts that we only call pmu::read() on ACTIVE events. The above callchain does: perf_event_exit_task() perf_event_exit_task_context() task_ctx_sched_out() // INACTIVE perf_event_exit_event() perf_event_set_state(EXIT) // EXIT sync_child_event() perf_event_read_event() perf_output_read() perf_output_read_group() leader->pmu->read() Which results in doing a pmu::read() on an !ACTIVE event. I _think_ this is 'new' since we added attr.inherit_stat, which added the perf_event_read_event() to the exit path, without that perf_event_read_output() would only trigger from samples and for @event to trigger a sample, it's leader _must_ be ACTIVE too. Still, adding this check makes it consistent with the @sub case for the siblings.

perf/core: Fix ctx_event_type in ctx_resched() In ctx_resched(), EVENT_FLEXIBLE should be sched_out when EVENT_PINNED is added. However, ctx_resched() calculates ctx_event_type before checking this condition. As a result, pinned events will NOT get higher priority than flexible events. The following shows this issue on an Intel CPU (where ref-cycles can only use one hardware counter). 1. First start: perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles -I 1000 2. Then, in the second console, run: perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles:D -I 1000 The second perf uses pinned events, which is expected to have higher priority. However, because it failed in ctx_resched(). It is never run. This patch fixes this by calculating ctx_event_type after re-evaluating event_type.

perf: Allocate context task_ctx_data for child event Currently we use perf_event_context::task_ctx_data to save and restore the LBR status when the task is scheduled out and in. We don't allocate it for child contexts, which results in shorter task's LBR stack, because we don't save the history from previous run and start over every time we schedule the task in. I made a test to generate samples with LBR call stack and got higher numbers on bigger chain depths: before: after: LBR call chain: nr: 1 60561 498127 LBR call chain: nr: 2 0 0 LBR call chain: nr: 3 107030 2172 LBR call chain: nr: 4 466685 62758 LBR call chain: nr: 5 2307319 878046 LBR call chain: nr: 6 48713 495218 LBR call chain: nr: 7 1040 4551 LBR call chain: nr: 8 481 172 LBR call chain: nr: 9 878 120 LBR call chain: nr: 10 2377 6698 LBR call chain: nr: 11 28830 151487 LBR call chain: nr: 12 29347 339867 LBR call chain: nr: 13 4 22 LBR call chain: nr: 14 3 53 Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Fixes: 4af57ef28c2c ("perf: Add pmu specific data for perf task context") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180107160356.28203-4-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

bpf/tracing: fix kernel/events/core.c compilation error Commit f371b304f12e ("bpf/tracing: allow user space to query prog array on the same tp") introduced a perf ioctl command to query prog array attached to the same perf tracepoint. The commit introduced a compilation error under certain config conditions, e.g., (1). CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is not defined, or (2). CONFIG_TRACING is defined but neither CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS nor CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS is defined. Error message: kernel/events/core.o: In function `perf_ioctl': core.c:(.text+0x98c4): undefined reference to `bpf_event_query_prog_array' This patch fixed this error by guarding the real definition under CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS and provided static inline dummy function if CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS was not defined. It renamed the function from bpf_event_query_prog_array to perf_event_query_prog_array and moved the definition from linux/bpf.h to linux/trace_events.h so the definition is in proximity to other prog_array related functions.

bpf: add a bpf_override_function helper Error injection is sloppy and very ad-hoc. BPF could fill this niche perfectly with it's kprobe functionality. We could make sure errors are only triggered in specific call chains that we care about with very specific situations. Accomplish this with the bpf_override_funciton helper. This will modify the probe'd callers return value to the specified value and set the PC to an override function that simply returns, bypassing the originally probed function. This gives us a nice clean way to implement systematic error injection for all of our code paths.

bpf/tracing: allow user space to query prog array on the same tp Commit e87c6bc3852b ("bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments for a single perf event") added support to attach multiple bpf programs to a single perf event. Although this provides flexibility, users may want to know what other bpf programs attached to the same tp interface. Besides getting visibility for the underlying bpf system, such information may also help consolidate multiple bpf programs, understand potential performance issues due to a large array, and debug (e.g., one bpf program which overwrites return code may impact subsequent program results). Commit 2541517c32be ("tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobes") utilized the existing perf ioctl interface and added the command PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF to attach a bpf program to a tracepoint. This patch adds a new ioctl command, given a perf event fd, to query the bpf program array attached to the same perf tracepoint event. The new uapi ioctl command: PERF_EVENT_IOC_QUERY_BPF The new uapi/linux/perf_event.h structure: struct perf_event_query_bpf { __u32 ids_len; __u32 prog_cnt; __u32 ids[0]; }; User space provides buffer "ids" for kernel to copy to. When returning from the kernel, the number of available programs in the array is set in "prog_cnt". The usage: struct perf_event_query_bpf *query = malloc(sizeof(*query) + sizeof(u32) * ids_len); query.ids_len = ids_len; err = ioctl(pmu_efd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_QUERY_BPF, query); if (err == 0) { /* query.prog_cnt is the number of available progs, * number of progs in ids: (ids_len == 0) ? 0 : query.prog_cnt */ } else if (errno == ENOSPC) { /* query.ids_len number of progs copied, * query.prog_cnt is the number of available progs */ } else { /* other errors */ } Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

bpf: correct broken uapi for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type Commit 0515e5999a466dfe ("bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type") introduced the bpf_perf_event_data structure which exports the pt_regs structure. This is OK for multiple architectures but fail for s390 and arm64 which do not export pt_regs. Programs using them, for example, the bpf selftest fail to compile on these architectures. For s390, exporting the pt_regs is not an option because s390 wants to allow changes to it. For arm64, there is a user_pt_regs structure that covers parts of the pt_regs structure for use by user space. To solve the broken uapi for s390 and arm64, introduce an abstract type for pt_regs and add an asm/bpf_perf_event.h file that concretes the type. An asm-generic header file covers the architectures that export pt_regs today. The arch-specific enablement for s390 and arm64 follows in separate commits.

perf/core: Rewrite event timekeeping The current even timekeeping, which computes enabled and running times, uses 3 distinct timestamps to reflect the various event states: OFF (stopped), INACTIVE (enabled) and ACTIVE (running). Furthermore, the update rules are such that even INACTIVE events need their timestamps updated. This is undesirable because we'd like to not touch INACTIVE events if at all possible, this makes event scheduling (much) more expensive than needed. Rewrite the timekeeping to directly use event->state, this greatly simplifies the code and results in only having to update things when we change state, or an up-to-date value is requested (read).

This patch extends the interface; a future eBPF patch will utilize the new functionality. [ Note, there's a same-content commit with a poor changelog and a meaningless title in the networking tree as well - but we need this change for subsequent perf work, so apply it here as well, with a proper changelog.

locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments for a single perf event This patch enables multiple bpf attachments for a kprobe/uprobe/tracepoint single trace event. Each trace_event keeps a list of attached perf events. When an event happens, all attached bpf programs will be executed based on the order of attachment. A global bpf_event_mutex lock is introduced to protect prog_array attaching and detaching. An alternative will be introduce a mutex lock in every trace_event_call structure, but it takes a lot of extra memory. So a global bpf_event_mutex lock is a good compromise. The bpf prog detachment involves allocation of memory. If the allocation fails, a dummy do-nothing program will replace to-be-detached program in-place.

perf/core: Avoid freeing static PMU contexts when PMU is unregistered Since commit: 1fd7e4169954 ("perf/core: Remove perf_cpu_context::unique_pmu") ... when a PMU is unregistered then its associated ->pmu_cpu_context is unconditionally freed. Whilst this is fine for dynamically allocated context types (i.e. those registered using perf_invalid_context), this causes a problem for sharing of static contexts such as perf_{sw,hw}_context, which are used by multiple built-in PMUs and effectively have a global lifetime. Whilst testing the ARM SPE driver, which must use perf_sw_context to support per-task AUX tracing, unregistering the driver as a result of a module unload resulted in: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000038 Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: [last unloaded: arm_spe_pmu] PC is at ctx_resched+0x38/0xe8 LR is at perf_event_exec+0x20c/0x278 [...] ctx_resched+0x38/0xe8 perf_event_exec+0x20c/0x278 setup_new_exec+0x88/0x118 load_elf_binary+0x26c/0x109c search_binary_handler+0x90/0x298 do_execveat_common.isra.14+0x540/0x618 SyS_execve+0x38/0x48 since the software context has been freed and the ctx.pmu->pmu_disable_count field has been set to NULL. This patch fixes the problem by avoiding the freeing of static PMU contexts altogether. Whilst the sharing of dynamic contexts is questionable, this actually requires the caller to share their context pointer explicitly and so the burden is on them to manage the object lifetime.

bpf: one perf event close won't free bpf program attached by another perf event This patch fixes a bug exhibited by the following scenario: 1. fd1 = perf_event_open with attr.config = ID1 2. attach bpf program prog1 to fd1 3. fd2 = perf_event_open with attr.config = ID1 <this will be successful> 4. user program closes fd2 and prog1 is detached from the tracepoint. 5. user program with fd1 does not work properly as tracepoint no output any more. The issue happens at step 4. Multiple perf_event_open can be called successfully, but only one bpf prog pointer in the tp_event. In the current logic, any fd release for the same tp_event will free the tp_event->prog. The fix is to free tp_event->prog only when the closing fd corresponds to the one which registered the program. Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

perf/core, x86: Add PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR For understanding how the workload maps to memory channels and hardware behavior, it's very important to collect address maps with physical addresses. For example, 3D XPoint access can only be found by filtering the physical address. Add a new sample type for physical address. perf already has a facility to collect data virtual address. This patch introduces a function to convert the virtual address to physical address. The function is quite generic and can be extended to any architecture as long as a virtual address is provided. - For kernel direct mapping addresses, virt_to_phys is used to convert the virtual addresses to physical address. - For user virtual addresses, __get_user_pages_fast is used to walk the pages tables for user physical address. - This does not work for vmalloc addresses right now. These are not resolved, but code to do that could be added. The new sample type requires collecting the virtual address. The virtual address will not be output unless SAMPLE_ADDR is applied. For security, the physical address can only be exposed to root or privileged user.

perf/core, pt, bts: Get rid of itrace_started I just noticed that hw.itrace_started and hw.config are aliased to the same location. Now, the PT driver happens to use both, which works out fine by sheer luck: - STORE(hw.itrace_start) is ordered before STORE(hw.config), in the program order, although there are no compiler barriers to ensure that, - to the perf_log_itrace_start() hw.itrace_start looks set at the same time as when it is intended to be set because both stores happen in the same path, - hw.config is never reset to zero in the PT driver. Now, the use of hw.config by the PT driver makes more sense (it being a HW PMU) than messing around with itrace_started, which is an awkward API to begin with. This patch replaces hw.itrace_started with an attach_state bit and an API call for the PMU drivers to use to communicate the condition.

perf/ftrace: Fix double traces of perf on ftrace:function When running perf on the ftrace:function tracepoint, there is a bug which can be reproduced by: perf record -e ftrace:function -a sleep 20 & perf record -e ftrace:function ls perf script ls 10304 [005] 171.853235: ftrace:function: perf_output_begin ls 10304 [005] 171.853237: ftrace:function: perf_output_begin ls 10304 [005] 171.853239: ftrace:function: task_tgid_nr_ns ls 10304 [005] 171.853240: ftrace:function: task_tgid_nr_ns ls 10304 [005] 171.853242: ftrace:function: __task_pid_nr_ns ls 10304 [005] 171.853244: ftrace:function: __task_pid_nr_ns We can see that all the function traces are doubled. The problem is caused by the inconsistency of the register function perf_ftrace_event_register() with the probe function perf_ftrace_function_call(). The former registers one probe for every perf_event. And the latter handles all perf_events on the current cpu. So when two perf_events on the current cpu, the traces of them will be doubled. So this patch adds an extra parameter "event" for perf_tp_event, only send sample data to this event when it's not NULL.

perf/core: Fix potential double-fetch bug While examining the kernel source code, I found a dangerous operation that could turn into a double-fetch situation (a race condition bug) where the same userspace memory region are fetched twice into kernel with sanity checks after the first fetch while missing checks after the second fetch. 1. The first fetch happens in line 9573 get_user(size, &uattr->size). 2. Subsequently the 'size' variable undergoes a few sanity checks and transformations (line 9577 to 9584). 3. The second fetch happens in line 9610 copy_from_user(attr, uattr, size) 4. Given that 'uattr' can be fully controlled in userspace, an attacker can race condition to override 'uattr->size' to arbitrary value (say, 0xFFFFFFFF) after the first fetch but before the second fetch. The changed value will be copied to 'attr->size'. 5. There is no further checks on 'attr->size' until the end of this function, and once the function returns, we lose the context to verify that 'attr->size' conforms to the sanity checks performed in step 2 (line 9577 to 9584). 6. My manual analysis shows that 'attr->size' is not used elsewhere later, so, there is no working exploit against it right now. However, this could easily turns to an exploitable one if careless developers start to use 'attr->size' later. To fix this, override 'attr->size' from the second fetch to the one from the first fetch, regardless of what is actually copied in. In this way, it is assured that 'attr->size' is consistent with the checks performed after the first fetch.

perf/core: Fix group {cpu,task} validation Regardless of which events form a group, it does not make sense for the events to target different tasks and/or CPUs, as this leaves the group inconsistent and impossible to schedule. The core perf code assumes that these are consistent across (successfully intialised) groups. Core perf code only verifies this when moving SW events into a HW context. Thus, we can violate this requirement for pure SW groups and pure HW groups, unless the relevant PMU driver happens to perform this verification itself. These mismatched groups subsequently wreak havoc elsewhere. For example, we handle watchpoints as SW events, and reserve watchpoint HW on a per-CPU basis at pmu::event_init() time to ensure that any event that is initialised is guaranteed to have a slot at pmu::add() time. However, the core code only checks the group leader's cpu filter (via event_filter_match()), and can thus install follower events onto CPUs violating thier (mismatched) CPU filters, potentially installing them into a CPU without sufficient reserved slots. This can be triggered with the below test case, resulting in warnings from arch backends. #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <linux/hw_breakpoint.h> #include <linux/perf_event.h> #include <sched.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <unistd.h> static int perf_event_open(struct perf_event_attr *attr, pid_t pid, int cpu, int group_fd, unsigned long flags) { return syscall(__NR_perf_event_open, attr, pid, cpu, group_fd, flags); } char watched_char; struct perf_event_attr wp_attr = { .type = PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT, .bp_type = HW_BREAKPOINT_RW, .bp_addr = (unsigned long)&watched_char, .bp_len = 1, .size = sizeof(wp_attr), }; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int leader, ret; cpu_set_t cpus; /* * Force use of CPU0 to ensure our CPU0-bound events get scheduled. */ CPU_ZERO(&cpus); CPU_SET(0, &cpus); ret = sched_setaffinity(0, sizeof(cpus), &cpus); if (ret) { printf("Unable to set cpu affinity\n"); return 1; } /* open leader event, bound to this task, CPU0 only */ leader = perf_event_open(&wp_attr, 0, 0, -1, 0); if (leader < 0) { printf("Couldn't open leader: %d\n", leader); return 1; } /* * Open a follower event that is bound to the same task, but a * different CPU.

perf/core: Fix time on IOC_ENABLE Vince reported that when we do IOC_ENABLE/IOC_DISABLE while the task is SIGSTOP'ed state the timestamps go wobbly. It turns out we indeed fail to correctly account time while in 'OFF' state and doing IOC_ENABLE without getting scheduled in exposes the problem. Further thinking about this problem, it occurred to me that we can suffer a similar fate when we migrate an uncore event between CPUs. The perf_event_install() on the 'new' CPU will do add_event_to_ctx() which will reset all the time stamp, resulting in a subsequent update_event_times() to overwrite the total_time_* fields with smaller values.

perf/x86: Fix RDPMC vs. mm_struct tracking Vince reported the following rdpmc() testcase failure: > Failing test case: > > fd=perf_event_open(); > addr=mmap(fd); > exec() // without closing or unmapping the event > fd=perf_event_open(); > addr=mmap(fd); > rdpmc() // GPFs due to rdpmc being disabled The problem is of course that exec() plays tricks with what is current->mm, only destroying the old mappings after having installed the new mm.

bpf: add support for sys_enter_* and sys_exit_* tracepoints Currently, bpf programs cannot be attached to sys_enter_* and sys_exit_* style tracepoints. The iovisor/bcc issue #748 (https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/issues/748) documents this issue. For example, if you try to attach a bpf program to tracepoints syscalls/sys_enter_newfstat, you will get the following error: # ./tools/trace.py t:syscalls:sys_enter_newfstat Ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF): Invalid argument Failed to attach BPF to tracepoint The main reason is that syscalls/sys_enter_* and syscalls/sys_exit_* tracepoints are treated differently from other tracepoints and there is no bpf hook to it. This patch adds bpf support for these syscalls tracepoints by . permitting bpf attachment in ioctl PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF . calling bpf programs in perf_syscall_enter and perf_syscall_exit The legality of bpf program ctx access is also checked. Function trace_event_get_offsets returns correct max offset for each specific syscall tracepoint, which is compared against the maximum offset access in bpf program.

x86/perf/cqm: Wipe out perf based cqm 'perf cqm' never worked due to the incompatibility between perf infrastructure and cqm hardware support. The hardware uses RMIDs to track the llc occupancy of tasks and these RMIDs are per package. This makes monitoring a hierarchy like cgroup along with monitoring of tasks separately difficult and several patches sent to lkml to fix them were NACKed. Further more, the following issues in the current perf cqm make it almost unusable: 1. No support to monitor the same group of tasks for which we do allocation using resctrl. 2. It gives random and inaccurate data (mostly 0s) once we run out of RMIDs due to issues in Recycling. 3. Recycling results in inaccuracy of data because we cannot guarantee that the RMID was stolen from a task when it was not pulling data into cache or even when it pulled the least data. Also for monitoring llc_occupancy, if we stop using an RMID_x and then start using an RMID_y after we reclaim an RMID from an other event, we miss accounting all the occupancy that was tagged to RMID_x at a later perf_count. 2. Recycling code makes the monitoring code complex including scheduling because the event can lose RMID any time. Since MBM counters count bandwidth for a period of time by taking snap shot of total bytes at two different times, recycling complicates the way we count MBM in a hierarchy. Also we need a spin lock while we do the processing to account for MBM counter overflow. We also currently use a spin lock in scheduling to prevent the RMID from being taken away. 4. Lack of support when we run different kind of event like task, system-wide and cgroup events together. Data mostly prints 0s. This is also because we can have only one RMID tied to a cpu as defined by the cqm hardware but a perf can at the same time tie multiple events during one sched_in. 5. No support of monitoring a group of tasks. There is partial support for cgroup but it does not work once there is a hierarchy of cgroups or if we want to monitor a task in a cgroup and the cgroup itself. 6. No support for monitoring tasks for the lifetime without perf overhead. 7. It reported the aggregate cache occupancy or memory bandwidth over all sockets. But most cloud and VMM based use cases want to know the individual per-socket usage.

cgroup: implement cgroup v2 thread support This patch implements cgroup v2 thread support. The goal of the thread mode is supporting hierarchical accounting and control at thread granularity while staying inside the resource domain model which allows coordination across different resource controllers and handling of anonymous resource consumptions. A cgroup is always created as a domain and can be made threaded by writing to the "cgroup.type" file. When a cgroup becomes threaded, it becomes a member of a threaded subtree which is anchored at the closest ancestor which isn't threaded. The threads of the processes which are in a threaded subtree can be placed anywhere without being restricted by process granularity or no-internal-process constraint. Note that the threads aren't allowed to escape to a different threaded subtree. To be used inside a threaded subtree, a controller should explicitly support threaded mode and be able to handle internal competition in the way which is appropriate for the resource. The root of a threaded subtree, the nearest ancestor which isn't threaded, is called the threaded domain and serves as the resource domain for the whole subtree. This is the last cgroup where domain controllers are operational and where all the domain-level resource consumptions in the subtree are accounted. This allows threaded controllers to operate at thread granularity when requested while staying inside the scope of system-level resource distribution. As the root cgroup is exempt from the no-internal-process constraint, it can serve as both a threaded domain and a parent to normal cgroups, so, unlike non-root cgroups, the root cgroup can have both domain and threaded children. Internally, in a threaded subtree, each css_set has its ->dom_cset pointing to a matching css_set which belongs to the threaded domain. This ensures that thread root level cgroup_subsys_state for all threaded controllers are readily accessible for domain-level operations. This patch enables threaded mode for the pids and perf_events controllers. Neither has to worry about domain-level resource consumptions and it's enough to simply set the flag. For more details on the interface and behavior of the thread mode, please refer to the section 2-2-2 in Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt added by this patch. v5: - Dropped silly no-op ->dom_cgrp init from cgroup_create(). Spotted by Waiman. - Documentation updated as suggested by Waiman. - cgroup.type content slightly reformatted. - Mark the debug controller threaded. v4: - Updated to the general idea of marking specific cgroups domain/threaded as suggested by PeterZ. v3: - Dropped "join" and always make mixed children join the parent's threaded subtree. v2: - After discussions with Waiman, support for mixed thread mode is added. This should address the issue that Peter pointed out where any nesting should be avoided for thread subtrees while coexisting with other domain cgroups. - Enabling / disabling thread mode now piggy backs on the existing control mask update mechanism. - Bug fixes and cleanup.

perf/core: Fix locking for children siblings group read We're missing ctx lock when iterating children siblings within the perf_read path for group reading. Following race and crash can happen: User space doing read syscall on event group leader: T1: perf_read lock event->ctx->mutex perf_read_group lock leader->child_mutex __perf_read_group_add(child) list_for_each_entry(sub, &leader->sibling_list, group_entry) ----> sub might be invalid at this point, because it could get removed via perf_event_exit_task_context in T2 Child exiting and cleaning up its events: T2: perf_event_exit_task_context lock ctx->mutex list_for_each_entry_safe(child_event, next, &child_ctx->event_list,... perf_event_exit_event(child) lock ctx->lock perf_group_detach(child) unlock ctx->lock ----> child is removed from sibling_list without any sync with T1 path above ... free_event(child) Before the child is removed from the leader's child_list, (and thus is omitted from perf_read_group processing), we need to ensure that perf_read_group touches child's siblings under its ctx->lock.

This was discovered by Vince in the test case described above, where two instruction counters are grouped, the group leader is pinned, but the other event is not; in the regressed case the counters were off by 33% (the difference between events' periods), but should be the same within the error margin.

perf/tracing/cpuhotplug: Fix locking order perf, tracing, kprobes and jump_labels have a gazillion of ways to create dependency lock chains. Some of those involve nested invocations of get_online_cpus(). The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem requires to avoid such nested calls. sys_perf_event_open() protects most of the syscall logic against cpu hotplug. This causes nested calls and lock inversions versus ftrace and kprobes in various interesting ways. It's impossible to move the hotplug locking to the outer end of all call chains in the involved facilities, so the hotplug protection in sys_perf_event_open() needs to be solved differently. Introduce 'pmus_mutex' which protects a perf private online cpumask. This mutex is taken when the mask is updated in the cpu hotplug callbacks and can be taken in sys_perf_event_open() to protect the swhash setup/teardown code and when the final judgement about a valid event has to be made.

perf/core: Better explain the inherit magic While going through the event inheritance code Oleg got confused. Add some comments to better explain the silent dissapearance of orphaned events. So what happens is that at perf_event_release_kernel() time; when an event looses its connection to userspace (and ceases to exist from the user's perspective) we can still have an arbitrary amount of inherited copies of the event. We want to synchronously find and remove all these child events. Since that requires a bit of lock juggling, there is the possibility that concurrent clone()s will create new child events. Therefore we first mark the parent event as DEAD, which marks all the extant child events as orphaned. We then avoid copying orphaned events; in order to avoid getting more of them.

perf: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info With the advert of container technologies like docker, that depend on namespaces for isolation, there is a need for tracing support for namespaces. This patch introduces new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event for recording namespaces related info. By recording info for every namespace, it is left to userspace to take a call on the definition of a container and trace containers by updating perf tool accordingly. Each namespace has a combination of device and inode numbers. Though every namespace has the same device number currently, that may change in future to avoid the need for a namespace of namespaces. Considering such possibility, record both device and inode numbers separately for each namespace.

perf/core: Remove confusing comment and move put_ctx() Since commit: 321027c1fe77 ("perf/core: Fix concurrent sys_perf_event_open() vs. 'move_group' race") ... the code looks like (assuming move_group==1): gctx = __perf_event_ctx_lock_double(group_leader, ctx); perf_remove_from_context(group_leader, 0); list_for_each_entry(sibling, &group_leader->sibling_list, group_entry) { perf_remove_from_context(sibling, 0); put_ctx(gctx); } /* ... */ /* misleading comment about how this is the last reference */ put_ctx(gctx); perf_event_ctx_unlock(group_leader, gctx); What that 'last' put_ctx() does is drop @group_leader's reference on gctx after having dropped all its potential sibling references. But the thing is that __perf_event_ctx_lock_double() returns with a reference _and_ a held lock, and perf_event_ctx_unlock() unlocks that lock and drops that reference. Therefore that put_ctx() cannot be the 'last' of anything, nor is there an unbalance in puts. To reduce confusion, remove the comment and place the put_ctx() next to the remove_from_context() call.

Mark the controller as implicitly enabled on the default hierarchy so that perf events can always be filtered based on cgroup v2 path as long as the controller is not mounted on a legacy hierarchy. "perf record" is updated accordingly so that it searches for both v1 and v2 hierarchies.

perf/core: Try parent PMU first when initializing a child event perf has additional overhead when monitoring the task which frequently generates child tasks. perf_init_event() is one of the hotspots for the additional overhead: Currently, to get the PMU, it tries to search the type in pmu_idr at first. But it is not always successful, especially for the widely used PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE events. So it has to go to the slow path which go through the whole PMUs list. It will be a big performance issue, if the PMUs list is long (e.g. server with many uncore boxes) and the task frequently generates child tasks. The child event inherits its parent event. So the child event should try its parent PMU first. Here is some data from the overhead test on Broadwell server: perf record -e $TEST_EVENTS -- ./loop.sh 50000 loop.sh start=$(date +%s%N) i=0 while [ "$i" -le "$1" ] do date > /dev/null i=`expr $i + 1` done end=$(date +%s%N) elapsed=`expr $end - $start` Event# Original elapsed time Elapsed time with patch delta 1 196,573,192,397 189,162,029,998 -3.77% 2 257,567,753,013 241,620,788,683 -6.19% 4 398,730,726,971 370,518,938,714 -7.08% 8 824,983,761,120 740,702,489,329 -10.22% 16 1,883,411,923,498 1,672,027,508,355 -11.22% ... which shows a nice performance improvement.

perf/core: Remove perf_cpu_context::unique_pmu cpuctx->unique_pmu was originally introduced as a way to identify cpuctxs with shared pmus in order to avoid visiting the same cpuctx more than once in a for_each_pmu loop. cpuctx->unique_pmu == cpuctx->pmu in non-software task contexts since they have only one pmu per cpuctx. Since perf_pmu_sched_task() is only called in hw contexts, this patch replaces cpuctx->unique_pmu by cpuctx->pmu in it. The change above, together with the previous patch in this series, removed the remaining uses of cpuctx->unique_pmu, so we remove it altogether.

perf/core: Make cgroup switch visit only cpuctxs with cgroup events This patch follows from a conversation in CQM/CMT's last series about speeding up the context switch for cgroup events: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9478617/ This is a low-hanging fruit optimization. It replaces the iteration over the "pmus" list in cgroup switch by an iteration over a new list that contains only cpuctxs with at least one cgroup event. This is necessary because the number of PMUs have increased over the years e.g modern x86 server systems have well above 50 PMUs. The iteration over the full PMU list is unneccessary and can be costly in heavy cache contention scenarios. Below are some instrumentation measurements with 10, 50 and 90 percentiles of the total cost of context switch before and after this optimization for a simple array read/write microbenchark. Contention Level Nr events Before (us) After (us) Median L2 L3 types (10%, 50%, 90%) (10%, 50%, 90% Speedup -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Low Low 1 (1.72, 2.42, 5.85) (1.35, 1.64, 5.46) 29% High Low 1 (2.08, 4.56, 19.8) (1720, 2.20, 13.7) 51% High High 1 (2.86, 10.4, 12.7) (2.54, 4.32, 12.1) 58% Low Low 2 (1.98, 3.20, 6.89) (1.68, 2.41, 8.89) 24% High Low 2 (2.48, 5.28, 22.4) (2150, 3.69, 14.6) 30% High High 2 (3.32, 8.09, 13.9) (2.80, 5.15, 13.7) 36% where: 1 event type = cycles 2 event types = cycles,intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/ Contention L2 Low: workset < L2 cache size. High: " >> L2 " " . Contention L3 Low: workset of task on all sockets < L3 cache size. High: " " " " " " >> L3 " " . Median Speedup is (50%ile Before - 50%ile After) / 50%ile Before Unsurprisingly, the benefits of this optimization decrease with the number of cpuctxs with a cgroup events, yet, is never detrimental.

perf/core: Fix use-after-free bug Dmitry reported a KASAN use-after-free on event->group_leader. It turns out there's a hole in perf_remove_from_context() due to event_function_call() not calling its function when the task associated with the event is already dead. In this case the event will have been detached from the task, but the grouping will have been retained, such that group operations might still work properly while there are live child events etc. This does however mean that we can miss a perf_group_detach() call when the group decomposes, this in turn can then lead to use-after-free. Fix it by explicitly doing the group detach if its still required.

perf/core: Fix concurrent sys_perf_event_open() vs. 'move_group' race Di Shen reported a race between two concurrent sys_perf_event_open() calls where both try and move the same pre-existing software group into a hardware context. The problem is exactly that described in commit: f63a8daa5812 ("perf: Fix event->ctx locking") ... where, while we wait for a ctx->mutex acquisition, the event->ctx relation can have changed under us. That very same commit failed to recognise sys_perf_event_context() as an external access vector to the events and thereby didn't apply the established locking rules correctly. So while one sys_perf_event_open() call is stuck waiting on mutex_lock_double(), the other (which owns said locks) moves the group about. So by the time the former sys_perf_event_open() acquires the locks, the context we've acquired is stale (and possibly dead). Apply the established locking rules as per perf_event_ctx_lock_nested() to the mutex_lock_double() for the 'move_group' case. This obviously means we need to validate state after we acquire the locks.

perf/core: Fix sys_perf_event_open() vs. hotplug There is problem with installing an event in a task that is 'stuck' on an offline CPU. Blocked tasks are not dis-assosciated from offlined CPUs, after all, a blocked task doesn't run and doesn't require a CPU etc.. Only on wakeup do we ammend the situation and place the task on a available CPU. If we hit such a task with perf_install_in_context() we'll loop until either that task wakes up or the CPU comes back online, if the task waking depends on the event being installed, we're stuck. While looking into this issue, I also spotted another problem, if we hit a task with perf_install_in_context() that is in the middle of being migrated, that is we observe the old CPU before sending the IPI, but run the IPI (on the old CPU) while the task is already running on the new CPU, things also go sideways. Rework things to rely on task_curr() -- outside of rq->lock -- which is rather tricky. Imagine the following scenario where we're trying to install the first event into our task 't': CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 (current == t) t->perf_event_ctxp[] = ctx; smp_mb(); cpu = task_cpu(t); switch(t, n); migrate(t, 2); switch(p, t); ctx = t->perf_event_ctxp[]; // must not be NULL smp_function_call(cpu, ..); generic_exec_single() func(); spin_lock(ctx->lock); if (task_curr(t)) // false add_event_to_ctx(); spin_unlock(ctx->lock); perf_event_context_sched_in(); spin_lock(ctx->lock); // sees event So its CPU0's store of t->perf_event_ctxp[] that must not go 'missing'. Because if CPU2's load of that variable were to observe NULL, it would not try to schedule the ctx and we'd have a task running without its counter, which would be 'bad'. As long as we observe !NULL, we'll acquire ctx->lock. If we acquire it first and not see the event yet, then CPU0 must observe task_curr() and retry. If the install happens first, then we must see the event on sched-in and all is well. I think we can translate the first part (until the 'must not be NULL') of the scenario to a litmus test like: C C-peterz { } P0(int *x, int *y) { int r1; WRITE_ONCE(*x, 1); smp_mb(); r1 = READ_ONCE(*y); } P1(int *y, int *z) { WRITE_ONCE(*y, 1); smp_store_release(z, 1); } P2(int *x, int *z) { int r1; int r2; r1 = smp_load_acquire(z); smp_mb(); r2 = READ_ONCE(*x); } exists (0:r1=0 /\ 2:r1=1 /\ 2:r2=0) Where: x is perf_event_ctxp[], y is our tasks's CPU, and z is our task being placed on the rq of CPU2. The P0 smp_mb() is the one added by this patch, ordering the store to perf_event_ctxp[] from find_get_context() and the load of task_cpu() in task_function_call(). The smp_store_release/smp_load_acquire model the RCpc locking of the rq->lock and the smp_mb() of P2 is the context switch switching from whatever CPU2 was running to our task 't'. This litmus test evaluates into: Test C-peterz Allowed States 7 0:r1=0; 2:r1=0; 2:r2=0; 0:r1=0; 2:r1=0; 2:r2=1; 0:r1=0; 2:r1=1; 2:r2=1; 0:r1=1; 2:r1=0; 2:r2=0; 0:r1=1; 2:r1=0; 2:r2=1; 0:r1=1; 2:r1=1; 2:r2=0; 0:r1=1; 2:r1=1; 2:r2=1; No Witnesses Positive: 0 Negative: 7 Condition exists (0:r1=0 /\ 2:r1=1 /\ 2:r2=0) Observation C-peterz Never 0 7 Hash=e427f41d9146b2a5445101d3e2fcaa34 And the strong and weak model agree.

perf/core: Protect PMU device removal with a 'pmu_bus_running' check, to fix CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y kernel panic CAI Qian reported a crash in the PMU uncore device removal code, enabled by the CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y option: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147688837328451 The reason for the crash is that perf_pmu_unregister() tries to remove a PMU device which is not added at this point. We add PMU devices only after pmu_bus is registered, which happens in the perf_event_sysfs_init() call and sets the 'pmu_bus_running' flag. The fix is to get the 'pmu_bus_running' flag state at the point the PMU is taken out of the PMU list and remove the device later only if it's set.

perf/core: Limit matching exclusive events to one PMU An "exclusive" PMU is the one that can only have one event scheduled in at any given time. There may be more than one of such PMUs in a system, though, like Intel PT and BTS. It should be allowed to have one event for either of those inside the same context (there may be other constraints that may prevent this, but those would be hardware-specific). However, the exclusivity code is written so that only one event from any of the "exclusive" PMUs is allowed in a context. Fix this by making the exclusive event filter explicitly match two events' PMUs.

perf/core: Fix a race between mmap_close() and set_output() of AUX events In the mmap_close() path we need to stop all the AUX events that are writing data to the AUX area that we are unmapping, before we can safely free the pages. To determine if an event needs to be stopped, we're comparing its ->rb against the one that's getting unmapped. However, a SET_OUTPUT ioctl may turn up inside an AUX transaction and swizzle event::rb to some other ring buffer, but the transaction will keep writing data to the old ring buffer until the event gets scheduled out. At this point, mmap_close() will skip over such an event and will proceed to free the AUX area, while it's still being used by this event, which will set off a warning in the mmap_close() path and cause a memory corruption. To avoid this, always stop an AUX event before its ->rb is updated; this will release the (potentially) last reference on the AUX area of the buffer. If the event gets restarted, its new ring buffer will be used. If another SET_OUTPUT comes and switches it back to the old ring buffer that's getting unmapped, it's also fine: this ring buffer's aux_mmap_count will be zero and AUX transactions won't start any more.

perf, bpf: add perf events core support for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs Allow attaching BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs to sw and hw perf events via overflow_handler mechanism. When program is attached the overflow_handlers become stacked. The program acts as a filter. Returning zero from the program means that the normal perf_event_output handler will not be called and sampling event won't be stored in the ring buffer. The overflow_handler_context==NULL is an additional safety check to make sure programs are not attached to hw breakpoints and watchdog in case other checks (that prevent that now anyway) get accidentally relaxed in the future. The program refcnt is incremented in case perf_events are inhereted when target task is forked. Similar to kprobe and tracepoint programs there is no ioctl to detach the program or swap already attached program. The user space expected to close(perf_event_fd) like it does right now for kprobe+bpf. That restriction simplifies the code quite a bit. The invocation of overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow() is now done via READ_ONCE, since that pointer can be replaced when the program is attached while perf_event itself could have been active already. There is no need to do similar treatment for event->prog, since it's assigned only once before it's accessed. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

perf/core: Use this_cpu_ptr() when stopping AUX events When tearing down an AUX buf for an event via perf_mmap_close(), __perf_event_output_stop() is called on the event's CPU to ensure that trace generation is halted before the process of unmapping and freeing the buffer pages begins. The callback is performed via cpu_function_call(), which ensures that it runs with interrupts disabled and is therefore not preemptible. Unfortunately, the current code grabs the per-cpu context pointer using get_cpu_ptr(), which unnecessarily disables preemption and doesn't pair the call with put_cpu_ptr(), leading to a preempt_count() imbalance and a BUG when freeing the AUX buffer later on: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2249 at kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:539 __rb_free_aux+0x10c/0x120 Modules linked in: [...] Call Trace: [<ffffffff813379dd>] dump_stack+0x4f/0x72 [<ffffffff81059ff6>] __warn+0xc6/0xe0 [<ffffffff8105a0c8>] warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x20 [<ffffffff8112761c>] __rb_free_aux+0x10c/0x120 [<ffffffff81128163>] rb_free_aux+0x13/0x20 [<ffffffff8112515e>] perf_mmap_close+0x29e/0x2f0 [<ffffffff8111da30>] ? perf_iterate_ctx+0xe0/0xe0 [<ffffffff8115f685>] remove_vma+0x25/0x60 [<ffffffff81161796>] exit_mmap+0x106/0x140 [<ffffffff8105725c>] mmput+0x1c/0xd0 [<ffffffff8105cac3>] do_exit+0x253/0xbf0 [<ffffffff8105e32e>] do_group_exit+0x3e/0xb0 [<ffffffff81068d49>] get_signal+0x249/0x640 [<ffffffff8101c273>] do_signal+0x23/0x640 [<ffffffff81905f42>] ? _raw_write_unlock_irq+0x12/0x30 [<ffffffff81905f69>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x9/0x10 [<ffffffff81901896>] ? __schedule+0x2c6/0x710 [<ffffffff810022a4>] exit_to_usermode_loop+0x74/0x90 [<ffffffff81002a56>] prepare_exit_to_usermode+0x26/0x30 [<ffffffff81906d1b>] retint_user+0x8/0x10 This patch uses this_cpu_ptr() instead of get_cpu_ptr(), since preemption is already disabled by the caller.

perf/core: Introduce PMU_EV_CAP_READ_ACTIVE_PKG Introduce the flag PMU_EV_CAP_READ_ACTIVE_PKG, useful for uncore events, that allows a PMU to signal the generic perf code that an event is readable in the current CPU if the event is active in a CPU in the same package as the current CPU. This is an optimization that avoids a unnecessary IPI for the common case where uncore events are run and read in the same package but in different CPUs. As an example, the IPI removal speeds up perf_read() in my Haswell system as follows: - For event UNC_C_LLC_LOOKUP: From 260 us to 31 us. - For event RAPL's power/energy-cores/: From to 255 us to 27 us. For the optimization to work, all events in the group must have it (similarly to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE).

perf/core: Generalize event->group_flags Currently, PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE is used in the group_flags field of a group's leader to indicate that is_software_event(event) is true for all events in a group. This is the only usage of event->group_flags. This pattern of setting a group level flags when all events in the group share a property is useful for the flag introduced in the next patch and for future CQM/CMT flags. So this patches generalizes group_flags to work as an aggregate of event level flags. PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE denotes an inmutable event's property. All other flags that I intend to add are also determinable at event initialization. To better convey the above, this patch renames event's group_flags to group_caps and PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE. Individual event flags are stored in the new event->event_caps. Since the cap flags do not change after event initialization, there is no need to serialize event_caps. This new field is used when events are added to a context, similarly to how PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE and is_software_event() worked. Lastly, for consistency, updates is_software_event() to rely in event_cap instead of the context index.

bitmap.h, perf/core: Fix the mask in perf_output_sample_regs() When decoding the perf_regs mask in perf_output_sample_regs(), we loop through the mask using find_first_bit and find_next_bit functions. While the exisiting code works fine in most of the case, the logic is broken for big-endian 32-bit kernels. When reading a u64 mask using (u32 *)(&val)[0], find_*_bit() assumes that it gets the lower 32 bits of u64, but instead it gets the upper 32 bits - which is wrong. The fix is to swap the words of the u64 to handle this case. This is _not_ a regular endianness swap.

The end result is that filters are configured based on the last map event that was received rather than the last mapping of the code segment. For example if we have an executable 'main' that calls library 'libcstest.so.1.0', and that we want to collect traces on code that is in that library. The perf cmd line for this scenario would be: perf record -e cs_etm// --filter 'filter 0x72c/0x40@/opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0' --per-thread ./main Resulting in binaries being mapped this way: root@linaro-nano:~# cat /proc/1950/maps 00400000-00401000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 33169 /home/linaro/main 00410000-00411000 r--p 00000000 08:02 33169 /home/linaro/main 00411000-00412000 rw-p 00001000 08:02 33169 /home/linaro/main 7fa2464000-7fa2474000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fa2474000-7fa25a4000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 543 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.21.so 7fa25a4000-7fa25b3000 ---p 00130000 08:02 543 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.21.so 7fa25b3000-7fa25b7000 r--p 0012f000 08:02 543 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.21.so 7fa25b7000-7fa25b9000 rw-p 00133000 08:02 543 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.21.so 7fa25b9000-7fa25bd000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fa25bd000-7fa25be000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 38308 /opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0 7fa25be000-7fa25cd000 ---p 00001000 08:02 38308 /opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0 7fa25cd000-7fa25ce000 r--p 00000000 08:02 38308 /opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0 7fa25ce000-7fa25cf000 rw-p 00001000 08:02 38308 /opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0 7fa25cf000-7fa25eb000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 574 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.21.so 7fa25ef000-7fa25f2000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fa25f7000-7fa25f9000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fa25f9000-7fa25fa000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar] 7fa25fa000-7fa25fb000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 7fa25fb000-7fa25fc000 r--p 0001c000 08:02 574 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.21.so 7fa25fc000-7fa25fe000 rw-p 0001d000 08:02 574 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.21.so 7ff2ea8000-7ff2ec9000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] root@linaro-nano:~# Before 'main()' can execute 'libcstest.so.1.0' has to be loaded in memory.

perf/x86/intel: Rework the large PEBS setup code In order to allow optimizing perf_pmu_sched_task() we must ensure perf_sched_cb_{inc,dec}() are no longer called from NMI context; this means that pmu::{start,stop}() can no longer use them. Prepare for this by reworking the whole large PEBS setup code. The current code relied on the cpuc->pebs_enabled state, however since that reflects the current active state as per pmu::{start,stop}() we can no longer rely on this. Introduce two counters: cpuc->n_pebs and cpuc->n_large_pebs which count the total number of PEBS events and the number of PEBS events that have FREERUNNING set, resp.. With this we can tell if the current setup requires a single record interrupt threshold or can use a larger buffer. This also improves the code in that it re-enables the large threshold once the PEBS event that required single record gets removed.

perf/core: Sched out groups atomically Groups of events are supposed to be scheduled atomically, such that it is possible to derive meaningful ratios between their values. We take great pains to achieve this when scheduling event groups to a PMU in group_sched_in(), calling {start,commit}_txn() (which fall back to perf_pmu_{disable,enable}() if necessary) to provide this guarantee. However we don't mirror this in group_sched_out(), and in some cases events will not be scheduled out atomically. For example, if we disable an event group with PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE, we'll cross-call __perf_event_disable() for the group leader, and will call group_sched_out() without having first disabled the relevant PMU. We will disable/enable the PMU around each pmu->del() call, but between each call the PMU will be enabled and events may count. Avoid this by explicitly disabling and enabling the PMU around event removal in group_sched_out(), mirroring what we do in group_sched_in().

perf/core: Set cgroup in CPU contexts for new cgroup events There's a perf stat bug easy to observer on a machine with only one cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C 0 -G / # time counts unit events 1.000161699 <not counted> cycles / 2.000355591 <not counted> cycles / 3.000565154 <not counted> cycles / 4.000951350 <not counted> cycles / We'd expect some output there. The underlying problem is that there is an optimization in perf_cgroup_sched_{in,out}() that skips the switch of cgroup events if the old and new cgroups in a task switch are the same. This optimization interacts with the current code in two ways that cause a CPU context's cgroup (cpuctx->cgrp) to be NULL even if a cgroup event matches the current task. These are: 1. On creation of the first cgroup event in a CPU: In current code, cpuctx->cpu is only set in perf_cgroup_sched_in, but due to the aforesaid optimization, perf_cgroup_sched_in will run until the next cgroup switches in that CPU. This may happen late or never happen, depending on system's number of cgroups, CPU load, etc. 2. On deletion of the last cgroup event in a cpuctx: In list_del_event, cpuctx->cgrp is set NULL. Any new cgroup event will not be sched in because cpuctx->cgrp == NULL until a cgroup switch occurs and perf_cgroup_sched_in is executed (updating cpuctx->cgrp). This patch fixes both problems by setting cpuctx->cgrp in list_add_event, mirroring what list_del_event does when removing a cgroup event from CPU context, as introduced in: commit 68cacd29167b ("perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx()") With this patch, cpuctx->cgrp is always set/clear when installing/removing the first/last cgroup event in/from the CPU context. With cpuctx->cgrp correctly set, event_filter_match works as intended when events are sched in/out. After the fix, the output is as expected: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -a -G / # time counts unit events 1.004699159 627342882 cycles / 2.007397156 615272690 cycles / 3.010019057 616726074 cycles / Signed-off-by: David Carrillo-Cisneros <davidcc@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Cc: Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470124092-113192-1-git-send-email-davidcc@google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

perf, events: add non-linear data support for raw records This patch adds support for non-linear data on raw records. It extends raw records to have one or multiple fragments that will be written linearly into the ring slot, where each fragment can optionally have a custom callback handler to walk and extract complex, possibly non-linear data. If a callback handler is provided for a fragment, then the new __output_custom() will be used instead of __output_copy() for the perf_output_sample() part. perf_prepare_sample() does all the size calculation only once, so perf_output_sample() doesn't need to redo the same work anymore, meaning real_size and padding will be cached in the raw record. The raw record becomes 32 bytes in size without holes; to not increase it further and to avoid doing unnecessary recalculations in fast-path, we can reuse next pointer of the last fragment, idea here is borrowed from ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(), which should keep the perf_output_sample() path for PERF_SAMPLE_RAW minimal. This facility is needed for BPF's event output helper as a first user that will, in a follow-up, add an additional perf_raw_frag to its perf_raw_record in order to be able to more efficiently dump skb context after a linear head meta data related to it. skbs can be non-linear and thus need a custom output function to dump buffers. Currently, the skb data needs to be copied twice; with the help of __output_custom() this work only needs to be done once. Future users could be things like XDP/BPF programs that work on different context though and would thus also have a different callback function. The few users of raw records are adapted to initialize their frag data from the raw record itself, no change in behavior for them. The code is based upon a PoC diff provided by Peter Zijlstra [1].

perf/core: Convert to hotplug state machine Actually a nice symmetric startup/teardown pair which fits properly into the state machine concept. In the long run we should be able to invoke the startup callback for the boot CPU via the state machine and get rid of the init function which invokes it on the boot CPU. Note: This comes actually before the perf hardware callbacks. In the notifier model the hardware callbacks have a higher priority than the core callback. But that's solely for CPU offline so that hardware migration of events happens before the core is notified about the outgoing CPU.

perf/core: Fix pmu::filter_match for SW-led groups The following commit: 66eb579e66ec ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering") added the pmu::filter_match() callback. This was intended to avoid HW constraints on events from resulting in extremely pessimistic scheduling. However, pmu::filter_match() is only called for the leader of each event group. When the leader is a SW event, we do not filter the groups, and may fail at pmu::add() time, and when this happens we'll give up on scheduling any event groups later in the list until they are rotated ahead of the failing group. This can result in extremely sub-optimal event scheduling behaviour, e.g. if running the following on a big.LITTLE platform: $ taskset -c 0 ./perf stat \ -e 'a57{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/}' \ -e 'a53{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/}' \ ls <not counted> context-switches (0.00%) <not counted> armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/ (0.00%) 24 context-switches (37.36%) 57589154 armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/ (37.36%) Here the 'a53' event group was always eligible to be scheduled, but the 'a57' group never eligible to be scheduled, as the task was always affine to a Cortex-A53 CPU. The SW (group leader) event in the 'a57' group was eligible, but the HW event failed at pmu::add() time, resulting in ctx_flexible_sched_in giving up on scheduling further groups with HW events. One way of avoiding this is to check pmu::filter_match() on siblings as well as the group leader. If any of these fail their pmu::filter_match() call, we must skip the entire group before attempting to add any events.

bpf: generally move prog destruction to RCU deferral Jann Horn reported following analysis that could potentially result in a very hard to trigger (if not impossible) UAF race, to quote his event timeline: - Set up a process with threads T1, T2 and T3 - Let T1 set up a socket filter F1 that invokes another filter F2 through a BPF map [tail call] - Let T1 trigger the socket filter via a unix domain socket write, don't wait for completion - Let T2 call PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF with F2, don't wait for completion - Now T2 should be behind bpf_prog_get(), but before bpf_prog_put() - Let T3 close the file descriptor for F2, dropping the reference count of F2 to 2 - At this point, T1 should have looked up F2 from the map, but not finished executing it - Let T3 remove F2 from the BPF map, dropping the reference count of F2 to 1 - Now T2 should call bpf_prog_put() (wrong BPF program type), dropping the reference count of F2 to 0 and scheduling bpf_prog_free_deferred() via schedule_work() - At this point, the BPF program could be freed - BPF execution is still running in a freed BPF program While at PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF time it's only guaranteed that the perf event fd we're doing the syscall on doesn't disappear from underneath us for whole syscall time, it may not be the case for the bpf fd used as an argument only after we did the put. It needs to be a valid fd pointing to a BPF program at the time of the call to make the bpf_prog_get() and while T2 gets preempted, F2 must have dropped reference to 1 on the other CPU. The fput() from the close() in T3 should also add additionally delay to the reference drop via exit_task_work() when bpf_prog_release() gets called as well as scheduling bpf_prog_free_deferred(). That said, it makes nevertheless sense to move the BPF prog destruction generally after RCU grace period to guarantee that such scenario above, but also others as recently fixed in ceb56070359b ("bpf, perf: delay release of BPF prog after grace period") with regards to tail calls won't happen. Integrating bpf_prog_free_deferred() directly into the RCU callback is not allowed since the invocation might happen from either softirq or process context, so we're not permitted to block. Reviewing all bpf_prog_put() invocations from eBPF side (note, cBPF -> eBPF progs don't use this for their destruction) with call_rcu() look good to me. Since we don't know whether at the time of attaching the program, we're already part of a tail call map, we need to use RCU variant. However, due to this, there won't be severely more stress on the RCU callback queue: situations with above bpf_prog_get() and bpf_prog_put() combo in practice normally won't lead to releases, but even if they would, enough effort/ cycles have to be put into loading a BPF program into the kernel already.

bpf, perf: delay release of BPF prog after grace period Commit dead9f29ddcc ("perf: Fix race in BPF program unregister") moved destruction of BPF program from free_event_rcu() callback to __free_event(), which is problematic if used with tail calls: if prog A is attached as trace event directly, but at the same time present in a tail call map used by another trace event program elsewhere, then we need to delay destruction via RCU grace period since it can still be in use by the program doing the tail call (the prog first needs to be dropped from the tail call map, then trace event with prog A attached destroyed, so we get immediate destruction).

perf/core: Remove a redundant check There is no way to end up in _free_event() with event::pmu being NULL. The latter is initialized in event allocation path and remains set forever. In case of allocation failure, the error path doesn't use _free_event(). Having the check, however, suggests that it is possible to have a event::pmu==NULL situation in _free_event() and confuses the robots. This patch gets rid of the check.

perf/core: Fix implicitly enable dynamic interrupt throttle This patch fixes an issue which was introduced by commit: 91a612eea9a3 ("perf/core: Fix dynamic interrupt throttle") ... which commit unconditionally sets the perf_sample_allowed_ns value to !0. But that could trigger a bug in the following corner case: The user can disable the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism by setting perf_cpu_time_max_percent to 0. Then they change perf_event_max_sample_rate. For this case, the mechanism will be enabled implicitly, because perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes !0 - which is not what we want. This patch only updates perf_sample_allowed_ns when the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism is enabled.

perf/core: Optimize side-band event delivery The perf_event_aux() function iterates all PMUs and all events in their respective per-CPU contexts to find the events to deliver side-band records to. For example, the brk test case in lkp triggers many mmap() operations, which, if we're also running perf, results in many perf_event_aux() invocations. If we enable uncore PMU support (even when uncore events are not used), dozens of uncore PMUs will be iterated, which can significantly decrease brk_test's throughput. For example, the brk throughput: without uncore PMUs: 2647573 ops_per_sec with uncore PMUs: 1768444 ops_per_sec ... a 33% reduction. To get at the per-CPU events that need side-band records, this patch puts these events on a per-CPU list, this avoids iterating the PMUs and any events that do not need side-band records. Per task events are unchanged to avoid extra overhead on the context switch paths.

perf/arm: Special-case hetereogeneous CPUs Commit: 26657848502b7847 ("perf/core: Verify we have a single perf_hw_context PMU") forcefully prevents multiple PMUs from sharing perf_hw_context, as this generally doesn't make sense. It is a common bug for uncore PMUs to use perf_hw_context rather than perf_invalid_context, which this detects. However, systems exist with heterogeneous CPUs (and hence heterogeneous HW PMUs), for which sharing perf_hw_context is necessary, and possible in some limited cases. To make this work we have to perform some gymnastics, as we did in these commits: 66eb579e66ecfea5 ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering") c904e32a69b7c779 ("arm: perf: filter unschedulable events") To allow those systems to work, we must allow PMUs for heterogeneous CPUs to share perf_hw_context, though we must still disallow sharing otherwise to detect the common misuse of perf_hw_context. This patch adds a new PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS for this, updates the core logic to account for this, and makes use of it in the arm_pmu code that is used for systems with heterogeneous CPUs. Comments are added to make the rationale clear and hopefully avoid accidental abuse.

perf/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit. The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter configuration into something that can be programmed into the hardware.

perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to support reading from overwritable ring buffer. Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling, they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers. Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records. By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created. Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail' pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However, there's an obscure problem. The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer, kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer. (X) head . | . V +------+-------+----------+------+---+ |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D| | +------+-------+----------+------+---+ Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E': head | V +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..| +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding. The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from [1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method utilizes no more tham 50% records. Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its performance is also not good, because more data need to be written. This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast path. 'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem. Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+------+ | |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A| +---+------+----------+-------+------+ and after overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.| +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record. From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch records one by one. The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading. Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation: tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now. To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is suggested because its overhead is lower than ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE). By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the ring-buffer. For example: /* A union of all possible events */ union perf_event event; p = head = perf_mmap__read_head(); while (true) { /* copy header of next event */ fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header)); /* read 'head' pointer */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* check overwritten: is the header good? */ if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head)) break; /* copy the whole event */ fetch(&event, p, event.header.size); /* read 'head' pointer again */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* is the whole event good? */ if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head)) break; p += event.header.size; } However, the overhead is high because: a) In-place decoding is not safe. Copying-verifying-decoding is required. b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization. (From Alexei Starovoitov: Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until next trigger comes.) This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output() and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead introduced to fast path. Performance testing: Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check duration. Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture system calls. In ns.

The layout of the fields can be discovered by doing 'cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/format' prior to the compilation of the program with exception that first 8 bytes are reserved and not accessible to the program. This area is used to store the pointer to 'struct pt_regs' which some of the bpf helpers will use: +---------+ | 8 bytes | hidden 'struct pt_regs *' (inaccessible to bpf program) +---------+ | N bytes | static tracepoint fields defined in tracepoint/format (bpf readonly) +---------+ | dynamic | __dynamic_array bytes of tracepoint (inaccessible to bpf yet) +---------+ Not that all of the fields are already dumped to user space via perf ring buffer and broken application access it directly without consulting tracepoint/format. Same rule applies here: static tracepoint fields should only be accessed in a format defined in tracepoint/format. The order of fields and field sizes are not an ABI.

Following commits can give a different default overflow_handler. Initial idea comes from Peter: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708121557.GA17211@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net Since the default value of event->overflow_handler is not NULL, existing 'if (!overflow_handler)' checks need to be changed. is_default_overflow_handler() is introduced for this.

perf/ring_buffer: Introduce new ioctl options to pause and resume the ring-buffer Add new ioctl() to pause/resume ring-buffer output. In some situations we want to read from the ring-buffer only when we ensure nothing can write to the ring-buffer during reading. Without this patch we have to turn off all events attached to this ring-buffer to achieve this. This patch is a prerequisite to enable overwrite support for the perf ring-buffer support. Following commits will introduce new methods support reading from overwrite ring buffer. Before reading, caller must ensure the ring buffer is frozen, or the reading is unreliable.

perf/core: Free AUX pages in unmap path Now that we can ensure that when ring buffer's AUX area is on the way to getting unmapped new transactions won't start, we only need to stop all events that can potentially be writing aux data to our ring buffer. Having done that, we can safely free the AUX pages and corresponding PMU data, as this time it is guaranteed to be the last aux reference holder. This partially reverts: 57ffc5ca679 ("perf: Fix AUX buffer refcounting") ... which was made to defer deallocation that was otherwise possible from an NMI context. Now it is no longer the case; the last call to rb_free_aux() that drops the last AUX reference has to happen in perf_mmap_close() on that AUX area.

perf/core: Fix dynamic interrupt throttle There were two problems with the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism, both triggered by the same action. When you (or perf_fuzzer) write a huge value into /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate the computed perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes 0. This effectively disables the whole dynamic throttle. This is fixed by ensuring update_perf_cpu_limits() never sets the value to 0. However, we allow disabling of the dynamic throttle by writing 100 to /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent. This will generate a warning in dmesg. The second problem is that by setting the max_sample_rate to a huge number, the adaptive process can take a few tries, since it halfs the limit each time. Change that to directly compute a new value based on the observed duration.

perf: Migrate perf to use new tick dependency mask model Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify perf event tick dependency, migrate perf to the new mask. Perf needs the tick for two situations: 1) Freq events. We could set the tick dependency when those are installed on a CPU context. But setting a global dependency on top of the global freq events accounting is much easier. If people want that to be optimized, we can still refine that on the per-CPU tick dependency level. This patch dooesn't change the current behaviour anyway. 2) Throttled events: this is a per-cpu dependency.

perf: Fix scaling vs. perf_event_enable_on_exec() The recent commit 3e349507d12d ("perf: Fix perf_enable_on_exec() event scheduling") caused this by moving task_ctx_sched_out() from before __perf_event_mask_enable() to after it. The overlooked consequence of that change is that task_ctx_sched_out() would update the ctx time fields, and now __perf_event_mask_enable() uses stale time. In order to fix this, explicitly stop our context's time before enabling the event(s).

perf: Fix ctx time tracking by introducing EVENT_TIME Currently any ctx_sched_in() call will re-start the ctx time tracking, this means that calls like: ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_PINNED); ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_FLEXIBLE); will have a hole in their ctx time tracking. This is likely harmless but can confuse things a little. By adding EVENT_TIME, we can have the first ctx_sched_in() (is_active: 0 -> !0) start the time and any further ctx_sched_in() will leave the timestamps alone. Secondly, this allows for an early disable like: ctx_sched_out(.event_type = EVENT_TIME); which would update the ctx time (if the ctx is active) and any further calls to ctx_sched_out() would not further modify the ctx time. For ctx_sched_in() any 0 -> !0 transition will automatically include EVENT_TIME. For ctx_sched_out(), any transition that clears EVENT_ALL will automatically clear EVENT_TIME. These two rules ensure that under normal circumstances we need not bother with EVENT_TIME and get natural ctx time behaviour.

perf: Cure event->pending_disable race Because event_sched_out() checks event->pending_disable _before_ actually disabling the event, it can happen that the event fires after it checks but before it gets disabled. This would leave event->pending_disable set and the queued irq_work will try and process it. However, if the event trigger was during schedule(), the event might have been de-scheduled by the time the irq_work runs, and perf_event_disable_local() will fail. Fix this by checking event->pending_disable _after_ we call event->pmu->del(). This depends on the latter being a compiler barrier, such that the compiler does not lift the load and re-creates the problem.

perf: Fix race between event install and jump_labels perf_install_in_context() relies upon the context switch hooks to have scheduled in events when the IPI misses its target -- after all, if the task has moved from the CPU (or wasn't running at all), it will have to context switch to run elsewhere. This however doesn't appear to be happening. It is possible for the IPI to not happen (task wasn't running) only to later observe the task running with an inactive context. The only possible explanation is that the context switch hooks are not called. Therefore put in a sync_sched() after toggling the jump_label to guarantee all CPUs will have them enabled before we install an event. A simple if (0->1) sync_sched() will not in fact work, because any further increment can race and complete before the sync_sched(). Therefore we must jump through some hoops.

perf: Fix cloning Alexander reported that when the 'original' context gets destroyed, no new clones happen. This can happen irrespective of the ctx switch optimization, any task can die, even the parent, and we want to continue monitoring the task hierarchy until we either close the event or no tasks are left in the hierarchy. perf_event_init_context() will attempt to pin the 'parent' context during clone(). At that point current is the parent, and since current cannot have exited while executing clone(), its context cannot have passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). Therefore perf_pin_task_context() cannot observe ctx->task == TASK_TOMBSTONE. However, since inherit_event() does: if (parent_event->parent) parent_event = parent_event->parent; it looks at the 'original' event when it does: is_orphaned_event(). This can return true if the context that contains the this event has passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). And thus we'll fail to clone the perf context. Fix this by adding a new state: STATE_DEAD, which is set by perf_release() to indicate that the filedesc (or kernel reference) is dead and there are no observers for our data left. Only for STATE_DEAD will is_orphaned_event() be true and inhibit cloning. STATE_EXIT is otherwise preserved such that is_event_hup() remains functional and will report when the observed task hierarchy becomes empty.

perf: Fix race in perf_event_exit_task_context() There is a race between perf_event_exit_task_context() and orphans_remove_work() which results in a use-after-free. We mark ctx->task with TASK_TOMBSTONE to indicate a context is 'dead', under ctx->lock. After which point event_function_call() on any event of that context will NOP A concurrent orphans_remove_work() will only hold ctx->mutex for the list iteration and not serialize against this. Therefore its possible that orphans_remove_work()'s perf_remove_from_context() call will fail, but we'll continue to free the event, with the result of free'd memory still being on lists and everything. Once perf_event_exit_task_context() gets around to acquiring ctx->mutex it too will iterate the event list, encounter the already free'd event and proceed to free it _again_. This fails with the WARN in free_event(). Plug the race by having perf_event_exit_task_context() hold ctx::mutex over the whole tear-down, thereby 'naturally' serializing against all other sites, including the orphan work.

perf: Fix perf_event_exit_task() race There is a race against perf_event_exit_task() vs event_function_call(),find_get_context(),perf_install_in_context() (iow, everyone). Since there is no permanent marker on a context that its dead, it is quite possible that we access (and even modify) a context after its passed through perf_event_exit_task(). For instance, find_get_context() might find the context still installed, but by the time we get to perf_install_in_context() it might already have passed through perf_event_exit_task() and be considered dead, we will however still add the event to it. Solve this by marking a ctx dead by setting its ctx->task value to -1, it must be !0 so we still know its a (former) task context.

perf: Fix task context scheduling There is a very nasty problem wrt disabling the perf task scheduling hooks. Currently we {set,clear} ctx->is_active on every __perf_event_task_sched_{in,out}, _however_ this means that if we disable these calls we'll have task contexts with ->is_active set that are not active and 'active' task contexts without ->is_active set. This can result in event_function_call() looping on the ctx->is_active condition basically indefinitely. Resolve this by changing things such that contexts without events do not set ->is_active like we used to. From this invariant it trivially follows that if there are no (task) events, every task ctx is inactive and disabling the context switch hooks is harmless. This leaves two places that need attention (and already had accumulated weird and wonderful hacks to work around, without recognising this actual problem). Namely: - perf_install_in_context() will need to deal with installing events in an inactive context, meaning it cannot rely on ctx-is_active for its IPIs. - perf_remove_from_context() will have to mark a context as inactive when it removes the last event.

perf: Fix perf_enable_on_exec() event scheduling There are two problems with the current perf_enable_on_exec() event scheduling: - the newly enabled events will be immediately scheduled irrespective of their ctx event list order. - there's a hole in the ctx->lock between scheduling the events out and putting them back on. Esp. the latter issue is a real problem because a hole in event scheduling leaves the thing in an observable inconsistent state, confusing things.

ptrace: use fsuid, fsgid, effective creds for fs access checks By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its credentials. To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g. in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set. The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass. While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access check is reused for things in procfs. In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely on ptrace access checks: /proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in this scenario: lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar drwx------ root root /root drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar -rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file, this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access (through /proc/$pid/cwd).

perf/core: Collapse more IPI loops This patch collapses the two 'hard' cases, which are perf_event_{dis,en}able(). I cannot seem to convince myself the current code is correct. So starting with perf_event_disable(); we don't strictly need to test for event->state == ACTIVE, ctx->is_active is enough. If the event is not scheduled while the ctx is, __perf_event_disable() still does the right thing. Its a little less efficient to IPI in that case, over-all simpler. For perf_event_enable(); the same goes, but I think that's actually broken in its current form. The current condition is: ctx->is_active && event->state == OFF, that means it doesn't do anything when !ctx->active && event->state == OFF. This is wrong, it should still mark the event INACTIVE in that case, otherwise we'll still not try and schedule the event once the context becomes active again. This patch implements the two function using the new event_function_call() and does away with the tricky event->state tests.

perf: Fix race in swevent hash There's a race on CPU unplug where we free the swevent hash array while it can still have events on. This will result in a use-after-free which is BAD. Simply do not free the hash array on unplug. This leaves the thing around and no use-after-free takes place. When the last swevent dies, we do a for_each_possible_cpu() iteration anyway to clean these up, at which time we'll free it, so no leakage will occur.

cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling Consider the following v2 hierarchy. P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A \- B P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't. If both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of P1. Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to the former and B's processes the latter. IOW, enabling controllers can cause atomic migrations into different csses. The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the target csses. pids controller depends on the migration methods to move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a counter negative.

All controllers are updated accordingly. * Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple target csses can be converted trivially. cpu, io, freezer, perf, netclassid and netprio fall in this category. * cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already. The only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css is obtained. * memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2. How the single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change. * pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug. It now correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

perf: Disable IRQs across RCU RS CS that acquires scheduler lock The perf_lock_task_context() function disables preemption across its RCU read-side critical section because that critical section acquires a scheduler lock. If there was a preemption during that RCU read-side critical section, the rcu_read_unlock() could attempt to acquire scheduler locks, resulting in deadlock. However, recent optimizations to expedited grace periods mean that IPI handlers that execute during preemptible RCU read-side critical sections can now cause the subsequent rcu_read_unlock() to acquire scheduler locks. Disabling preemption does nothiing to prevent these IPI handlers from executing, so these optimizations introduced a deadlock. In theory, this deadlock could be avoided by pulling all wakeups and printk()s out from rnp->lock critical sections, but in practice this would re-introduce some RCU CPU stall warning bugs. Given that acquiring scheduler locks entails disabling interrupts, these deadlocks can be avoided by disabling interrupts (instead of disabling preemption) across any RCU read-side critical that acquires scheduler locks and holds them across the rcu_read_unlock(). This commit therefore makes this change for perf_lock_task_context(). Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@codemonkey.org.uk> Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups cgroup_exit() is called when a task exits and disassociates the exiting task from its cgroups and half-attach it to the root cgroup. This is unnecessary and undesirable. No controller actually needs an exiting task to be disassociated with non-root cgroups. Both cpu and perf_event controllers update the association to the root cgroup from their exit callbacks just to keep consistent with the cgroup core behavior. Also, this disassociation makes it difficult to track resources held by zombies or determine where the zombies came from. Currently, pids controller is completely broken as it uncharges on exit and zombies always escape the resource restriction. With cgroup association being reset on exit, fixing it is pretty painful. There's no reason to reset cgroup membership on exit. The zombie can be removed from its css_set so that it doesn't show up on "cgroup.procs" and thus can't be migrated or interfere with cgroup removal. It can still pin and point to the css_set so that its cgroup membership is maintained. This patch makes cgroup core keep zombies associated with their cgroups at the time of exit. * Previous patches decoupled populated_cnt tracking from css_set lifetime, so a dying task can be simply unlinked from its css_set while pinning and pointing to the css_set. This keeps css_set association from task side alive while hiding it from "cgroup.procs" and populated_cnt tracking. The css_set reference is dropped when the task_struct is freed. * ->exit() callback no longer needs the css arguments as the associated css never changes once PF_EXITING is set. Removed. * cpu and perf_events controllers no longer need ->exit() callbacks. There's no reason to explicitly switch away on exit. The final schedule out is enough. The callbacks are removed. * On traditional hierarchies, nothing changes. "/proc/PID/cgroup" still reports "/" for all zombies. On the default hierarchy, "/proc/PID/cgroup" keeps reporting the cgroup that the task belonged to at the time of exit. If the cgroup gets removed before the task is reaped, " (deleted)" is appended. v2: Build brekage due to missing dummy cgroup_free() when !CONFIG_CGROUP fixed.

perf: Fix races in computing the header sizes There are two races with the current code: - Another event can join the group and compute a larger header_size concurrently, if the smaller store wins we'll have an incorrect header_size set. - We compute the header_size after the event becomes active, therefore its possible to use the size before its computed. Remedy the first by moving the computation inside the ctx::mutex lock, and the second by placing it _before_ perf_install_in_context().

perf/core: Add a 'flags' parameter to the PMU transactional interfaces Currently, the PMU interface allows reading only one counter at a time. But some PMUs like the 24x7 counters in Power, support reading several counters at once. To leveage this functionality, extend the transaction interface to support a "transaction type". The first type, PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, refers to the existing transactions, i.e. used to _schedule_ all the events on the PMU as a group. A second transaction type, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ, will be used in a follow-on patch, by the 24x7 counters to read several counters at once. Extend the transaction interfaces to the PMU to accept a 'txn_flags' parameter and use this parameter to ignore any transactions that are not of type PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD.

kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig.

perf/x86/intel/pt: Do not force sync packets on every schedule-in Currently, the PT driver zeroes out the status register every time before starting the event. However, all the writable bits are already taken care of in pt_handle_status() function, except the new PacketByteCnt field, which in new versions of PT contains the number of packet bytes written since the last sync (PSB) packet. Zeroing it out before enabling PT forces a sync packet to be written. This means that, with the existing code, a sync packet (PSB and PSBEND, 18 bytes in total) will be generated every time a PT event is scheduled in. To avoid these unnecessary syncs and save a WRMSR in the fast path, this patch changes the default behavior to not clear PacketByteCnt field, so that the sync packets will be generated with the period specified as "psb_period" attribute config field. This has little impact on the trace data as the other packets that are normally sent within PSB+ (between PSB and PSBEND) have their own generation scenarios which do not depend on the sync packets. One exception where we do need to force PSB like this when tracing starts, so that the decoder has a clear sync point in the trace. For this purpose we aready have hw::itrace_started flag, which we are currently using to output PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START. This patch moves setting itrace_started from perf core to the pmu::start, where it should still be 0 on the very first run.

perf: Fix fasync handling on inherited events Vince reported that the fasync signal stuff doesn't work proper for inherited events. So fix that. Installing fasync allocates memory and sets filp->f_flags |= FASYNC, which upon the demise of the file descriptor ensures the allocation is freed and state is updated. Now for perf, we can have the events stick around for a while after the original FD is dead because of references from child events. So we cannot copy the fasync pointer around. We can however consistently use the parent's fasync, as that will be updated.

perf: Add PERF_RECORD_SWITCH to indicate context switches There are already two events for context switches, namely the tracepoint sched:sched_switch and the software event context_switches. Unfortunately neither are suitable for use by non-privileged users for the purpose of synchronizing hardware trace data (e.g. Intel PT) to the context switch. Tracepoints are no good at all for non-privileged users because they need either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid <= -1. On the other hand, kernel software events need either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid <= 1. Now many distributions do default perf_event_paranoid to 1 making context_switches a contender, except it has another problem (which is also shared with sched:sched_switch) which is that it happens before perf schedules events out instead of after perf schedules events in. Whereas a privileged user can see all the events anyway, a non-privileged user only sees events for their own processes, in other words they see when their process was scheduled out not when it was scheduled in. That presents two problems to use the event: 1. the information comes too late, so tools have to look ahead in the event stream to find out what the current state is 2. if they are unlucky tracing might have stopped before the context-switches event is recorded. This new PERF_RECORD_SWITCH event does not have those problems and it also has a couple of other small advantages. It is easier to use because it is an auxiliary event (like mmap, comm and task events) which can be enabled by setting a single bit. It is smaller than sched:sched_switch and easier to parse. To make the event useful for privileged users also, if the context is cpu-wide then the event record will be PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE which is the same as PERF_RECORD_SWITCH except it also provides the next or previous pid/tid.

perf: Fix ring_buffer_attach() RCU sync, again While looking for other users of get_state/cond_sync. I Found ring_buffer_attach() and it looks obviously buggy? Don't we need to ensure that we have "synchronize" _between_ list_del() and list_add() ? IOW. Suppose that ring_buffer_attach() preempts right_after get_state_synchronize_rcu() and gp completes before spin_lock(). In this case cond_synchronize_rcu() does nothing and we reuse ->rb_entry without waiting for gp in between? It also moves the ->rcu_pending check under "if (rb)", to make it more readable imo.

perf/x86/intel: Handle multiple records in the PEBS buffer When the PEBS interrupt threshold is larger than one record and the machine supports multiple PEBS events, the records of these events are mixed up and we need to demultiplex them. Demuxing the records is hard because the hardware is deficient. The hardware has two issues that, when combined, create impossible scenarios to demux. The first issue is that the 'status' field of the PEBS record is a copy of the GLOBAL_STATUS MSR at PEBS assist time. To see why this is a problem let us first describe the regular PEBS cycle: A) the CTRn value reaches 0: - the corresponding bit in GLOBAL_STATUS gets set - we start arming the hardware assist < some unspecified amount of time later -- this could cover multiple events of interest > B) the hardware assist is armed, any next event will trigger it C) a matching event happens: - the hardware assist triggers and generates a PEBS record this includes a copy of GLOBAL_STATUS at this moment - if we auto-reload we (re)set CTRn - we clear the relevant bit in GLOBAL_STATUS Now consider the following chain of events: A0, B0, A1, C0 The event generated for counter 0 will include a status with counter 1 set, even though its not at all related to the record. A similar thing can happen with a !PEBS event if it just happens to overflow at the right moment. The second issue is that the hardware will only emit one record for two or more counters if the event that triggers the assist is 'close'. The 'close' can be several cycles. In some cases even the complete assist, if the event is something that doesn't need retirement. For instance, consider this chain of events: A0, B0, A1, B1, C01 Where C01 is an event that triggers both hardware assists, we will generate but a single record, but again with both counters listed in the status field. This time the record pertains to both events. Note that these two cases are different but undistinguishable with the data as generated. Therefore demuxing records with multiple PEBS bits (we can safely ignore status bits for !PEBS counters) is impossible. Furthermore we cannot emit the record to both events because that might cause a data leak -- the events might not have the same privileges -- so what this patch does is discard such events. The assumption/hope is that such discards will be rare. Here lists some possible ways you may get high discard rate. - when you count the same thing multiple times. But it is not a useful configuration. - you can be unfortunate if you measure with a userspace only PEBS event along with either a kernel or unrestricted PEBS event. Imagine the event triggering and setting the overflow flag right before entering the kernel. Then all kernel side events will end up with multiple bits set.

perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering In certain circumstances it may not be possible to schedule particular events due to constraints other than a lack of hardware counters (e.g. on big.LITTLE systems where CPUs support different events). The core perf event code does not distinguish these cases and pessimistically assumes that any failure to schedule an event means that it is not worth attempting to schedule later events, even if some hardware counters are still unused. When an event a pmu cannot schedule exists in a flexible group list it can unnecessarily prevent event groups following it in the list from being scheduled (until it is rotated to the end of the list). This means some events are scheduled for only a portion of the time they could be, and for short running programs no events may be scheduled if the list is initially sorted in an unfortunate order. This patch adds a new (optional) filter_match function pointer to struct pmu which a pmu driver can use to tell perf core when an event matches pmu-specific scheduling requirements. This plugs into the existing event_filter_match logic, and makes it possible to avoid the scheduling problem described above. When no filter is provided by the PMU, the existing behaviour is retained.

sched,perf: Fix periodic timers In the below two commits (see Fixes) we have periodic timers that can stop themselves when they're no longer required, but need to be (re)-started when their idle condition changes. Further complications is that we want the timer handler to always do the forward such that it will always correctly deal with the overruns, and we do not want to race such that the handler has already decided to stop, but the (external) restart sees the timer still active and we end up with a 'lost' timer. The problem with the current code is that the re-start can come before the callback does the forward, at which point the forward from the callback will WARN about forwarding an enqueued timer. Now, conceptually its easy to detect if you're before or after the fwd by comparing the expiration time against the current time. Of course, that's expensive (and racy) because we don't have the current time. Alternatively one could cache this state inside the timer, but then everybody pays the overhead of maintaining this extra state, and that is undesired. The only other option that I could see is the external timer_active variable, which I tried to kill before. I would love a nicer interface for this seemingly simple 'problem' but alas.

perf: Fix mux_interval hrtimer wreckage Thomas stumbled over the hrtimer_forward_now() in perf_event_mux_interval_ms_store() and noticed its broken-ness. You cannot just change the expiry time of an active timer, it will destroy the red-black tree order and cause havoc. Change it to (re)start the timer instead, (re)starting a timer will dequeue and enqueue a timer and therefore preserve rb-tree order. Since we cannot enqueue remotely, wrap the thing in cpu_function_call(), this however mandates that we restrict ourselves to online cpus. Also serialize the entire setting so we don't get multiple concurrent threads trying to update to different values. Also fix a problem in perf_mux_hrtimer_restart(), checking against hrtimer_active() can actually loose us the timer when timer->state == HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK and the callback has already decided NORESTART. Furthermore it doesn't make any sense to test hrtimer_callback_running() when we already tested hrtimer_active(), but with the above change, we explicitly must call it when callback_running. Lastly, rename a few functions: s/perf_cpu_hrtimer_/perf_mux_hrtimer_/ -- because I could not find the mux timer function s/\<hr\>/timer/ -- because that's the normal way of calling things.

perf: Add ITRACE_START record to indicate that tracing has started For counters that generate AUX data that is bound to the context of a running task, such as instruction tracing, the decoder needs to know exactly which task is running when the event is first scheduled in, before the first sched_switch. The decoder's need to know this stems from the fact that instruction flow trace decoding will almost always require program's object code in order to reconstruct said flow and for that we need at least its pid/tid in the perf stream. To single out such instruction tracing pmus, this patch introduces ITRACE PMU capability. The reason this is not part of RECORD_AUX record is that not all pmus capable of generating AUX data need this, and the opposite is *probably* also true. While sched_switch covers for most cases, there are two problems with it: the consumer will need to process events out of order (that is, having found RECORD_AUX, it will have to skip forward to the nearest sched_switch to figure out which task it was, then go back to the actual trace to decode it) and it completely misses the case when the tracing is enabled and disabled before sched_switch, for example, via PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE.

perf: Add API for PMUs to write to the AUX area For pmus that wish to write data to ring buffer's AUX area, provide perf_aux_output_{begin,end}() calls to initiate/commit data writes, similarly to perf_output_{begin,end}. These also use the same output handle structure. Also, similarly to software counterparts, these will direct inherited events' output to parents' ring buffers. After the perf_aux_output_begin() returns successfully, handle->size is set to the maximum amount of data that can be written wrt aux_tail pointer, so that no data that the user hasn't seen will be overwritten, therefore this should always be called before hardware writing is enabled. On success, this will return the pointer to pmu driver's private structure allocated for this aux area by pmu::setup_aux. Same pointer can also be retrieved using perf_get_aux() while hardware writing is enabled. PMU driver should pass the actual amount of data written as a parameter to perf_aux_output_end(). All hardware writes should be completed and visible before this one is called. Additionally, perf_aux_output_skip() will adjust output handle and aux_head in case some part of the buffer has to be skipped over to maintain hardware's alignment constraints. Nested writers are forbidden and guards are in place to catch such attempts.

perf: Add AUX area to ring buffer for raw data streams This patch introduces "AUX space" in the perf mmap buffer, intended for exporting high bandwidth data streams to userspace, such as instruction flow traces. AUX space is a ring buffer, defined by aux_{offset,size} fields in the user_page structure, and read/write pointers aux_{head,tail}, which abide by the same rules as data_* counterparts of the main perf buffer. In order to allocate/mmap AUX, userspace needs to set up aux_offset to such an offset that will be greater than data_offset+data_size and aux_size to be the desired buffer size. Both need to be page aligned. Then, same aux_offset and aux_size should be passed to mmap() call and if everything adds up, you should have an AUX buffer as a result.

perf: Add data_{offset,size} to user_page Currently, the actual perf ring buffer is one page into the mmap area, following the user page and the userspace follows this convention. This patch adds data_{offset,size} fields to user_page that can be used by userspace instead for locating perf data in the mmap area. This is also helpful when mapping existing or shared buffers if their size is not known in advance. Right now, it is made to follow the existing convention that data_offset == PAGE_SIZE and data_offset + data_size == mmap_size.

tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobes BPF programs, attached to kprobes, provide a safe way to execute user-defined BPF byte-code programs without being able to crash or hang the kernel in any way. The BPF engine makes sure that such programs have a finite execution time and that they cannot break out of their sandbox. The user interface is to attach to a kprobe via the perf syscall: struct perf_event_attr attr = { .type = PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, .config = event_id, ... }; event_fd = perf_event_open(&attr,...); ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd); 'prog_fd' is a file descriptor associated with BPF program previously loaded. 'event_id' is an ID of the kprobe created. Closing 'event_fd': close(event_fd); ... automatically detaches BPF program from it. BPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to: - lookup/update/delete elements in maps - probe_read - wraper of probe_kernel_read() used to access any kernel data structures BPF programs receive 'struct pt_regs *' as an input ('struct pt_regs' is architecture dependent) and return 0 to ignore the event and 1 to store kprobe event into the ring buffer. Note, kprobes are a fundamentally _not_ a stable kernel ABI, so BPF programs attached to kprobes must be recompiled for every kernel version and user must supply correct LINUX_VERSION_CODE in attr.kern_version during bpf_prog_load() call.

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

perf/x86/intel: Support task events with Intel CQM Add support for task events as well as system-wide events. This change has a big impact on the way that we gather LLC occupancy values in intel_cqm_event_read(). Currently, for system-wide (per-cpu) events we defer processing to userspace which knows how to discard all but one cpu result per package. Things aren't so simple for task events because we need to do the value aggregation ourselves. To do this, we defer updating the LLC occupancy value in event->count from intel_cqm_event_read() and do an SMP cross-call to read values for all packages in intel_cqm_event_count(). We need to ensure that we only do this for one task event per cache group, otherwise we'll report duplicate values. If we're a system-wide event we want to fallback to the default perf_event_count() implementation. Refactor this into a common function so that we don't duplicate the code. Also, introduce PERF_TYPE_INTEL_CQM, since we need a way to track an event's task (if the event isn't per-cpu) inside of the Intel CQM PMU driver. This task information is only availble in the upper layers of the perf infrastructure. Other perf backends stash the target task in event->hw.*target so we need to do something similar. The task is used to determine whether events should share a cache group and an RMID.

perf: Add ->count() function to read per-package counters For PMU drivers that record per-package counters, the ->count variable cannot be used to record an accurate aggregated value, since it's not possible to perform SMP cross-calls to cpus on other packages from the context in which we update ->count. Introduce a new optional ->count() accessor function that can be used to customize how values are collected. If a PMU driver doesn't provide a ->count() function, we fallback to the existing code. There is necessarily a window of staleness with this approach because the task that generated the counter value may not have been scheduled by the cpu recently. An alternative and more complex approach would be to use a hrtimer to periodically refresh the values from a more permissive scheduling context. So, we're trading off complexity for accuracy.

Code like this: if (pc->cap_user_time) { do { seq = pc->lock; barrier(); running = pc->time_running; cyc = rdtsc(); time_mult = pc->time_mult; time_shift = pc->time_shift; time_offset = pc->time_offset; barrier(); } while (pc->lock != seq); quot = (cyc >> time_shift); rem = cyc & ((1 << time_shift) - 1); delta = time_offset + quot * time_mult + ((rem * time_mult) >> time_shift); running += delta; return running; } I tried it on a busy system, the userspace page updating doesn't have noticeable overhead.

perf: Decouple unthrottling and rotating Currently the adjusments made as part of perf_event_task_tick() use the percpu rotation lists to iterate over any active PMU contexts, but these are not used by the context rotation code, having been replaced by separate (per-context) hrtimer callbacks. However, some manipulation of the rotation lists (i.e. removal of contexts) has remained in perf_rotate_context(). This leads to the following issues: * Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation lists (when memory backing the context is freed). This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for said PMUs. * Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick. This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU, this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts can be in a rotation list. By maintaining a list of perf_event_contexts rather than perf_event_cpu_contexts, we don't need separate paths to handle the cpu and task contexts, which also makes the code a little simpler. As the rotation_list variables are not used for rotation, these are renamed to active_ctx_list, which better matches their current function. perf_pmu_rotate_{start,stop} are renamed to perf_pmu_ctx_{activate,deactivate}.

perf: Drop module reference on event init failure When initialising an event, perf_init_event will call try_module_get() to ensure that the PMU's module cannot be removed for the lifetime of the event, with __free_event() dropping the reference when the event is finally destroyed. If something fails after the event has been initialised, but before the event is installed, perf_event_alloc will drop the reference on the module. However, if we fail to initialise an event for some reason (e.g. we ask an uncore PMU to perform sampling, and it refuses to initialise the event), we do not drop the refcount. If we try to open such a bogus event without a precise IDR type, we will loop over each PMU in the pmus list, incrementing each of their refcounts without decrementing them. This patch adds a module_put when pmu->event_init(event) fails, ensuring that the refcounts are balanced in failure cases. As the innards of the precise and search based initialisation look very similar, this logic is hoisted out into a new helper function. While the early return for the failed try_module_get is removed from the search case, this is handled by the remaining return when ret is not -ENOENT.

Upon installing the first group sibling we'd try and schedule out the group and trigger the above warn. Fix this by installing the group leader last, installing siblings would have no effect, they're not reachable through the group lists and therefore we don't schedule them. Also delay resetting the state until we're absolutely sure the events are quiescent.

perf: Tighten (and fix) the grouping condition The fix from 9fc81d87420d ("perf: Fix events installation during moving group") was incomplete in that it failed to recognise that creating a group with events for different CPUs is semantically broken -- they cannot be co-scheduled. Furthermore, it leads to real breakage where, when we create an event for CPU Y and then migrate it to form a group on CPU X, the code gets confused where the counter is programmed -- triggered in practice as well by me via the perf fuzzer. Fix this by tightening the rules for creating groups. Only allow grouping of counters that can be co-scheduled in the same context. This means for the same task and/or the same cpu.

perf: Avoid horrible stack usage Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf related callbacks have massive stack bloat. The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled it with minimal bits required for operation. Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available, making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste. This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static per-cpu storage instead of on-stack. Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler. We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs() like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs element to use). One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs pointer available and do not need another.

perf: Fix events installation during moving group We allow PMU driver to change the cpu on which the event should be installed to. This happened in patch: e2d37cd213dc ("perf: Allow the PMU driver to choose the CPU on which to install events") This patch also forces all the group members to follow the currently opened events cpu if the group happened to be moved. This and the change of event->cpu in perf_install_in_context() function introduced in: 0cda4c023132 ("perf: Introduce perf_pmu_migrate_context()") forces group members to change their event->cpu, if the currently-opened-event's PMU changed the cpu and there is a group move. Above behaviour causes problem for breakpoint events, which uses event->cpu to touch cpu specific data for breakpoints accounting. By changing event->cpu, some breakpoints slots were wrongly accounted for given cpu. Vinces's perf fuzzer hit this issue and caused following WARN on my setup: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 20214 at arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:119 arch_install_hw_breakpoint+0x142/0x150() Can't find any breakpoint slot [...] This patch changes the group moving code to keep the event's original cpu.

perf: Fix corruption of sibling list with hotplug When a CPU hotplugged out, we call perf_remove_from_context() (via perf_event_exit_cpu()) to rip each CPU-bound event out of its PMU's cpu context, but leave siblings grouped together. Freeing of these events is left to the mercy of the usual refcounting. When a CPU-bound event's refcount drops to zero we cross-call to __perf_remove_from_context() to clean it up, detaching grouped siblings. This works when the relevant CPU is online, but will fail if the CPU is currently offline, and we won't detach the event from its siblings before freeing the event, leaving the sibling list corrupt. If the sibling list is later walked (e.g. because the CPU cam online again before a remaining sibling's refcount drops to zero), we will walk the now corrupted siblings list, potentially dereferencing garbage values. Given that the events should never be scheduled again (as we removed them from their context), we can simply detatch siblings when the CPU goes down in the first place. If the CPU comes back online, the redundant call to __perf_remove_from_context() is safe.

perf: fix perf bug in fork() Oleg noticed that a cleanup by Sylvain actually uncovered a bug; by calling perf_event_free_task() when failing sched_fork() we will not yet have done the memset() on ->perf_event_ctxp[] and will therefore try and 'free' the inherited contexts, which are still in use by the parent process.

Revert "perf: Do not allow optimized switch for non-cloned events" This reverts commit 1f9a7268c67f0290837aada443d28fd953ddca90. With the fix of the initial state for the cloned event we now correctly handle the error described in: 1f9a7268c67f perf: Do not allow optimized switch for non-cloned events so we can revert it. I made an automated test for this, but its not suitable for automated perf tests framework. It needs to be customized for each machine (the more cpu the higher numbers for GROUPS/WORKERS/BYTES) and it could take longer time to hit the issue.

perf: Fix a race condition in perf_remove_from_context() We saw a kernel soft lockup in perf_remove_from_context(), it looks like the `perf` process, when exiting, could not go out of the retry loop. Meanwhile, the target process was forking a child. So either the target process should execute the smp function call to deactive the event (if it was running) or it should do a context switch which deactives the event. It seems we optimize out a context switch in perf_event_context_sched_out(), and what's more important, we still test an obsolete task pointer when retrying, so no one actually would deactive that event in this situation. Fix it directly by reloading the task pointer in perf_remove_from_context(). This should cure the above soft lockup.

For example, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID in 32-bit world will be encoded as 0x80042407, but 64-bit kernel will expect 0x80082407. In result the ioctl will fail returning -ENOTTY.

perf: Add queued work to remove orphaned child events In cases when the owner task exits before the workload and the workload made some forks, all the events stay in until the last workload process exits. Thats' because each child event holds parent reference. We want to release all children events once the parent is gone, because at that time there's no process to read them anyway, so they're just eating resources. This removal races with process exit, which removes all events and fork, which clone events. To be clear of those two, adding work queue to remove orphaned child for context in case such event is detected. Using delayed work queue (with delay == 1), because we queue this work under perf scheduler callbacks. Normal work queue tries to wake up the queue process, which deadlocks on rq->lock in this place. Also preventing clones from abandoned parent event.

perf: Differentiate exec() and non-exec() comm events perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings, which generally works. However, there are other potential use-cases. For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process has exec'd. Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim (e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME). This patch adds a flag to the comm event to differentiate one case from the other. In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr. The bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit is set on kernels that do not have it defined.

perf: Fix a race between ring_buffer_detach() and ring_buffer_attach() Alexander noticed that we use RCU iteration on rb->event_list but do not use list_{add,del}_rcu() to add,remove entries to that list, nor do we observe proper grace periods when re-using the entries. Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching. Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request = PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed. This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace period, but the two cases: 1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer. This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however... 2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed (munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT. This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL) followed by the ioctl() doing: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo); and we still need to observe the grace period between these two calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head. In order to make 2 happen we use Paul's latest cond_synchronize_rcu() call.

perf: Prevent false warning in perf_swevent_add The perf cpu offline callback takes down all cpu context events and releases swhash->swevent_hlist. This could race with task context software event being just scheduled on this cpu via perf_swevent_add while cpu hotplug code already cleaned up event's data. The race happens in the gap between the cpu notifier code and the cpu being actually taken down. Note that only cpu ctx events are terminated in the perf cpu hotplug code. It's easily reproduced with: $ perf record -e faults perf bench sched pipe while putting one of the cpus offline: # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online Console emits following warning: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2845 at kernel/events/core.c:5672 perf_swevent_add+0x18d/0x1a0() Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 2845 Comm: sched-pipe Tainted: G W 3.14.0+ #256 Hardware name: Intel Corporation Montevina platform/To be filled by O.E.M., BIOS AMVACRB1.86C.0066.B00.0805070703 05/07/2008 0000000000000009 ffff880077233ab8 ffffffff81665a23 0000000000200005 0000000000000000 ffff880077233af8 ffffffff8104732c 0000000000000046 ffff88007467c800 0000000000000002 ffff88007a9cf2a0 0000000000000001 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81665a23>] dump_stack+0x4f/0x7c [<ffffffff8104732c>] warn_slowpath_common+0x8c/0xc0 [<ffffffff8104737a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff8110fb3d>] perf_swevent_add+0x18d/0x1a0 [<ffffffff811162ae>] event_sched_in.isra.75+0x9e/0x1f0 [<ffffffff8111646a>] group_sched_in+0x6a/0x1f0 [<ffffffff81083dd5>] ? sched_clock_local+0x25/0xa0 [<ffffffff811167e6>] ctx_sched_in+0x1f6/0x450 [<ffffffff8111757b>] perf_event_sched_in+0x6b/0xa0 [<ffffffff81117a4b>] perf_event_context_sched_in+0x7b/0xc0 [<ffffffff81117ece>] __perf_event_task_sched_in+0x43e/0x460 [<ffffffff81096f1e>] ? put_lock_stats.isra.18+0xe/0x30 [<ffffffff8107b3c8>] finish_task_switch+0xb8/0x100 [<ffffffff8166a7de>] __schedule+0x30e/0xad0 [<ffffffff81172dd2>] ? pipe_read+0x3e2/0x560 [<ffffffff8166b45e>] ? preempt_schedule_irq+0x3e/0x70 [<ffffffff8166b45e>] ? preempt_schedule_irq+0x3e/0x70 [<ffffffff8166b464>] preempt_schedule_irq+0x44/0x70 [<ffffffff816707f0>] retint_kernel+0x20/0x30 [<ffffffff8109e60a>] ? lockdep_sys_exit+0x1a/0x90 [<ffffffff812a4234>] lockdep_sys_exit_thunk+0x35/0x67 [<ffffffff81679321>] ? sysret_check+0x5/0x56 Fixing this by tracking the cpu hotplug state and displaying the WARN only if current cpu is initialized properly.

cgroup: rename css_tryget*() to css_tryget_online*() Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection against upping a refcnt which already reached zero. cgroup is planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already reached zero. Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly indicate that they're onliness. I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about on/offline state. Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir() to css_tryget_online_from_dir(). This is pure rename. v2: cgroup_freezer grew new usages of css_tryget(). Update accordingly.

perf: Fix race in removing an event When removing a (sibling) event we do: raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); perf_group_detach(event); raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); <hole> perf_remove_from_context(event); raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); ... raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling. So, if during <hole> we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the PMU. The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all other lists. Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed! Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has. The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups too and we're tearing down just the same.

perf: Remove redundant PMU assignment Currently perf_branch_stack_sched_in iterates over the set of pmus, checks that each pmu has a flush_branch_stack callback, then overwrites the pmu before calling the callback. This is either redundant or broken. In systems with a single hw pmu, pmu == cpuctx->ctx.pmu, and thus the assignment is redundant. In systems with multiple hw pmus (i.e. multiple pmus with task_ctx_nr == perf_hw_context) the pmus share the same perf_cpu_context. Thus the assignment can cause one of the pmus to flush its branch stack repeatedly rather than causing each of the pmus to flush their branch stacks. Worse still, if only some pmus have the callback the assignment can result in a branch to NULL. This patch removes the redundant assignment.

perf/x86: Warn to early_printk() in case irq_work is too slow On Mon, Feb 10, 2014 at 08:45:16AM -0800, Dave Hansen wrote: > The reason I coded this up was that NMIs were firing off so fast that > nothing else was getting a chance to run.

It will start spewing to early_printk() (which is a lot nicer to use from NMI context too) when it fails to queue the IRQ-work because its already enqueued. It does have the false-positive for when two CPUs trigger the warn concurrently, but that should be rare and some extra clutter on the early printk shouldn't be a problem.

cgroup: drop @skip_css from cgroup_taskset_for_each() If !NULL, @skip_css makes cgroup_taskset_for_each() skip the matching css. The intention of the interface is to make it easy to skip css's (cgroup_subsys_states) which already match the migration target; however, this is entirely unnecessary as migration taskset doesn't include tasks which are already in the target cgroup. Drop @skip_css from cgroup_taskset_for_each().

cgroup: improve css_from_dir() into css_tryget_from_dir() css_from_dir() returns the matching css (cgroup_subsys_state) given a dentry and subsystem. The function doesn't pin the css before returning and requires the caller to be holding RCU read lock or cgroup_mutex and handling pinning on the caller side. Given that users of the function are likely to want to pin the returned css (both existing users do) and that getting and putting css's are very cheap, there's no reason for the interface to be tricky like this. Rename css_from_dir() to css_tryget_from_dir() and make it try to pin the found css and return it only if pinning succeeded. The callers are updated so that they no longer do RCU locking and pinning around the function and just use the returned css. This will also ease converting cgroup to kernfs.

cgroup: clean up cgroup_subsys names and initialization cgroup_subsys is a bit messier than it needs to be. * The name of a subsys can be different from its internal identifier defined in cgroup_subsys.h. Most subsystems use the matching name but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys. cgroup.h is widely included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier indicating that they belong to cgroup. * cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit silly. This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing the followings. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys. * With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts. All non-matching identifiers are renamed to match the official names. cpu_cgroup -> cpu mem_cgroup -> memory perf -> perf_event * controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name. They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot. * Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed. * While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to WARN()s. BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core").

perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open() Unlike recent modern userspace API such as: epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC), fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC), signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC), or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC), perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC (eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace. The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec. Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec, without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the associated race condition between the current thread and another thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).

perf/x86: Fix active_entry initialization This patch fixes a problem with the initialization of the struct perf_event active_entry field. It is defined inside an anonymous union and was initialized in perf_event_alloc() using INIT_LIST_HEAD(). However at that time, we do not know whether the event is going to use active_entry or hlist_entry (SW). Or at last, we don't want to make that determination there. The problem is that hlist and list_head are not initialized the same way. One is okay with NULL (from kzmalloc), the other needs to pointers to point to self. This patch resolves this problem by dropping the union. This will avoid problems later on, if someone starts using active_entry or hlist_entry without verifying that they actually overlap. This also solves the initialization problem.

The patch changes the kernel to return EINVAL if attr->mmap2 is set. The patch also modifies the perf tool to use regular PERF_RECORD_MMAP for synthetic events and it also prevents the tool from requesting attr->mmap2 mode because the kernel would reject it. The support will be revisited once the kenrel interface is updated. In V2, we reduce the patch to the strict minimum. In V3, we avoid calling perf_event_open() with mmap2 set because we know it will fail and require fallback retry.

perf: Add generic transaction flags Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort. The tuning strategies are very different for those cases, so it's important to distinguish them easily and early. Since it's inconvenient and inflexible to filter for this in the kernel we report all the events out and allow some post processing in user space. The flags are based on the Intel TSX events, but should be fairly generic and mostly applicable to other HTM architectures too. In addition to various flag words there's also reserved space to report an program supplied abort code. For TSX this is used to distinguish specific classes of aborts, like a lock busy abort when doing lock elision. Flags: Elision and generic transactions (ELISION vs TRANSACTION) (HLE vs RTM on TSX; IBM etc. would likely only use TRANSACTION) Aborts caused by current thread vs aborts caused by others (SYNC vs ASYNC) Retryable transaction (RETRY) Conflicts with other threads (CONFLICT) Transaction write capacity overflow (CAPACITY WRITE) Transaction read capacity overflow (CAPACITY READ) Transactions implicitely aborted can also return an abort code. This can be used to signal specific events to the profiler. A common case is abort on lock busy in a RTM eliding library (code 0xff) To handle this case we include the TSX abort code Common example aborts in TSX would be: - Data conflict with another thread on memory read. Flags: TRANSACTION|ASYNC|CONFLICT - executing a WRMSR in a transaction. Flags: TRANSACTION|SYNC - HLE transaction in user space is too large Flags: ELISION|SYNC|CAPACITY-WRITE The only flag that is somewhat TSX specific is ELISION. This adds the perf core glue needed for reporting the new flag word out. v2: Add MEM/MISC v3: Move transaction to the end v4: Separate capacity-read/write and remove misc v5: Remove _SAMPLE. Move abort flags to 32bit.

The problem is that perf_event::event_entry is a RCU list element, and hence we must wait for a full RCU grace period before re-using the element after deletion. Therefore the usage in perf_pmu_migrate_context() which re-uses the entry immediately is broken. For now introduce another list_head into perf_event for this specific usage. This doesn't actually fix the trinity report because that never goes through this code.

perf: Fix capabilities bitfield compatibility in 'struct perf_event_mmap_page' Solve the problems around the broken definition of perf_event_mmap_page:: cap_usr_time and cap_usr_rdpmc fields which used to overlap, partially fixed by: 860f085b74e9 ("perf: Fix broken union in 'struct perf_event_mmap_page'") The problem with the fix (merged in v3.12-rc1 and not yet released officially), noticed by Vince Weaver is that the new behavior is not detectable by new user-space, and that due to the reuse of the field names it's easy to mis-compile a binary if old headers are used on a new kernel or new headers are used on an old kernel. To solve all that make this change explicit, detectable and self-contained, by iterating the ABI the following way: - Always clear bit 0, and rename it to usrpage->cap_bit0, to at least not confuse old user-space binaries. RDPMC will be marked as unavailable to old binaries but that's within the ABI, this is a capability bit. - Rename bit 1 to ->cap_bit0_is_deprecated and always set it to 1, so new libraries can reliably detect that bit 0 is deprecated and perma-zero without having to check the kernel version. - Use bits 2, 3, 4 for the newly defined, correct functionality: cap_user_rdpmc : 1, /* The RDPMC instruction can be used to read counts */ cap_user_time : 1, /* The time_* fields are used */ cap_user_time_zero : 1, /* The time_zero field is used */ - Rename all the bitfield names in perf_event.h to be different from the old names, to make sure it's not possible to mis-compile it accidentally with old assumptions. The 'size' field can then be used in the future to add new fields and it will act as a natural ABI version indicator as well. Also adjust tools/perf/ userspace for the new definitions, noticed by Adrian Hunter.

perf: make events stream always parsable The event stream is not always parsable because the format of a sample is dependent on the sample_type of the selected event. When there is more than one selected event and the sample_types are not the same then parsing becomes problematic. A sample can be matched to its selected event using the ID that is allocated when the event is opened. Unfortunately, to get the ID from the sample means first parsing it. This patch adds a new sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFER that puts the ID at a fixed position so that the ID can be retrieved without parsing the sample. For sample events, that is the first position immediately after the header. For non-sample events, that is the last position. In this respect parsing samples requires that the sample_type and ID values are recorded. For example, perf tools records struct perf_event_attr and the IDs within the perf.data file. Those must be read first before it is possible to parse samples found later in the perf.data file.

Note that the function now checkes whether @dentry->d_inode is NULL as the caller now may specify a negative dentry. * Make it take cgroup_subsys * instead of integer subsys_id.

perf: Account freq events globally Freq events may not always be affine to a particular CPU. As such, account_event_cpu() may crash if we account per cpu a freq event that has event->cpu == -1. To solve this, lets account freq events globally. In practice this doesn't change much the picture because perf tools create per-task perf events with one event per CPU by default. Profiling a single CPU is usually a corner case so there is no much point in optimizing things that way.

cgroup: make cgroup_taskset deal with cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup cgroup is in the process of converting to css (cgroup_subsys_state) from cgroup as the principal subsystem interface handle. This is mostly to prepare for the unified hierarchy support where css's will be created and destroyed dynamically but also helps cleaning up subsystem implementations as css is usually what they are interested in anyway. cgroup_taskset which is used by the subsystem attach methods is the last cgroup subsystem API which isn't using css as the handle. Update cgroup_taskset_cur_cgroup() to cgroup_taskset_cur_css() and cgroup_taskset_for_each() to take @skip_css instead of @skip_cgrp. The conversions are pretty mechanical. One exception is cpuset::cgroup_cs(), which lost its last user and got removed. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in subsystem methods cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup * in subsystem implementations for the following reasons. * With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup, which is different from the current state where all css's are allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup. This in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use. * Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is being performed for. * In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's. Subsystem methods often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't bother with the cgroup pointer itself. Passing around css fits much better. This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of @cgroup. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. A few noteworthy changes are * ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't exist yet. Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing subsystems. * In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css dereference is replaced with local variable access. This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences. v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan. Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too.

perf: Implement finer grained full dynticks kick Currently the full dynticks subsystem keep the tick alive as long as there are perf events running. This prevents the tick from being stopped as long as features such that the lockup detectors are running. As a temporary fix, the lockup detector is disabled by default when full dynticks is built but this is not a long term viable solution. To fix this, only keep the tick alive when an event configured with a frequency rather than a period is running on the CPU, or when an event throttles on the CPU. These are the only purposes of the perf tick, especially now that the rotation of flexible events is handled from a seperate hrtimer. The tick can be shutdown the rest of the time.

perf: Sanitize get_callchain_buffer() In case of allocation failure, get_callchain_buffer() keeps the refcount incremented for the current event. As a result, when get_callchain_buffers() returns an error, we must cleanup what it did by cancelling its last refcount with a call to put_callchain_buffers(). This is a hack in order to be able to call free_event() after that failure. The original purpose of that was to simplify the failure path. But this error handling is actually counter intuitive, ugly and not very easy to follow because one expect to see the resources used to perform a service to be cleaned by the callee if case of failure, not by the caller. So lets clean this up by cancelling the refcount from get_callchain_buffer() in case of failure. And correctly free the event accordingly in perf_event_alloc().

perf: Fix branch stack refcount leak on callchain init failure On callchain buffers allocation failure, free_event() is called and all the accounting performed in perf_event_alloc() for that event is cancelled. But if the event has branch stack sampling, it is unaccounted as well from the branch stack sampling events refcounts. This is a bug because this accounting is performed after the callchain buffer allocation. As a result, the branch stack sampling events refcount can become negative. To fix this, move the branch stack event accounting before the callchain buffer allocation.

kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

perf: Remove WARN_ON_ONCE() check in __perf_event_enable() for valid scenario The '!ctx->is_active' check has a valid scenario, so there's no need for the warning. The reason is that there's a time window between the 'ctx->is_active' check in the perf_event_enable() function and the __perf_event_enable() function having: - IRQs on - ctx->lock unlocked where the task could be killed and 'ctx' deactivated by perf_event_exit_task(), ending up with the warning below.

perf: Drop sample rate when sampling is too slow This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking, and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second. If the sample length times the expected max number of samples exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate. This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the CPU. This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where perf doesn't work very well. *BUT* the alternative is that my system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs. I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's busted and undebuggable any day. BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here. Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on. But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine hanging all the time.

perf: Fix perf mmap bugs Vince reported a problem found by his perf specific trinity fuzzer. Al noticed 2 problems with perf's mmap(): - it has issues against fork() since we use vma->vm_mm for accounting. - it has an rb refcount leak on double mmap(). We fix the issues against fork() by using VM_DONTCOPY; I don't think there's code out there that uses this; we didn't hear about weird accounting problems/crashes. If we do need this to work, the previously proposed VM_PINNED could make this work. Aside from the rb reference leak spotted by Al, Vince's example prog was indeed doing a double mmap() through the use of perf_event_set_output(). This exposes another problem, since we now have 2 events with one buffer, the accounting gets screwy because we account per event. Fix this by making the buffer responsible for its own accounting.

perf: Add sysfs entry to adjust multiplexing interval per PMU This patch adds /sys/device/xxx/perf_event_mux_interval_ms to ajust the multiplexing interval per PMU. The unit is milliseconds. Value has to be >= 1. In the 4th version, we renamed the sysfs file to be more consistent with the other /proc/sys/kernel entries for perf_events. In the 5th version, we handle the reprogramming of the hrtimer using hrtimer_forward_now(). That way, we sync up to new timer value quickly (suggested by Jiri Olsa).

perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexing The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode (including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing). However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count even though cores are asleep. This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing. It introduces a per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on system-wide events works much better. The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval value. In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is activated. It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted. In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run before perf_event_init(). The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another patch.

perf: make perf_event cgroup hierarchical perf_event is one of a couple remaining cgroup controllers with broken hierarchy support. Converting it to support hierarchy is almost trivial. The only thing necessary is to consider a task belonging to a descendant cgroup as a match. IOW, if the cgroup of the currently executing task (@cpuctx->cgrp) equals or is a descendant of the event's cgroup (@event->cgrp), then the event should be enabled. Implement hierarchy support and remove .broken_hierarchy tag along with the incorrect comment on what needs to be done for hierarchy support.

perf/core: Add weighted samples For some events it's useful to weight sample with a hardware provided number. This expresses how expensive the action the sample represent was. This allows the profiler to scale the samples to be more informative to the programmer. There is already the period which is used similarly, but it means something different, so I chose to not overload it. Instead a new sample type for WEIGHT is added. Can be used for multiple things. Initially it is used for TSX abort costs and profiling by memory latencies (so to make expensive load appear higher up in the histograms). The concept is quite generic and can be extended to many other kinds of events or architectures, as long as the hardware provides suitable auxillary values. In principle it could be also used for software tracepoints. This adds the generic glue. A new optional sample format for a 64-bit weight value.

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

perf: Introduce hw_perf_event->tp_target and ->tp_list sys_perf_event_open()->perf_init_event(event) is called before find_get_context(event), this means that event->ctx == NULL when class->reg(TRACE_REG_PERF_REGISTER/OPEN) is called and thus it can't know if this event is per-task or system-wide. This patch adds hw_perf_event->tp_target for PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, this is analogous to PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT/bp_target we already have. The patch also moves ->bp_target up so that it can overlap with the new member, this can help the compiler to generate the better code. trace_uprobe_register() will use it for prefiltering to avoid the unnecessary breakpoints in mm's we do not want to trace. ->tp_target doesn't have its own reference, but we can rely on the fact that either sys_perf_event_open() holds a reference, or it is equal to event->ctx->task. So this pointer is always valid until free_event(). Also add the "struct list_head tp_list" into this union. It is not strictly necessary, but it can simplify the next changes and we can add it for free. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

perf: Fix event group context move When we have group with mixed events (hw/sw) we want to end up with group leader being in hw context. So if group leader is initialy sw event, we move all the events under hw context. The move is done for each event by removing it from its context and adding it back into proper one. As a part of the removal the event is automatically disabled, which is not what we want at this stage of creating groups. The fix is to initialize event state after removal from sw context.

pidns: Use task_active_pid_ns where appropriate The expressions tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns and task_active_pid_ns aka ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) should have the same number of cache line misses with the practical difference that ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) is released later in a processes life. Furthermore by using task_active_pid_ns it becomes trivial to write an unshare implementation for the the pid namespace. So I have used task_active_pid_ns everywhere I can. In fork since the pid has not yet been attached to the process I use ns_of_pid, to achieve the same effect. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors. These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same hierarchy and obtain sane behavior. Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front. This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of this patch is two-fold. * Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those doesn't surprise them. * Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support. For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder later on. v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated. v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by Glauber. v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that ->create() can affect the result per Michal.

perf/trace: Add ability to set a target task for events A few events are interesting not only for a current task. For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such events will be delivered to a target task too. Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task(). The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra. I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods. These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by perf tools.

perf: Use css_tryget() to avoid propping up css refcount An rmdir pushes css's ref count to zero. However, if the associated directory is open at the time, the dentry ref count is non-zero. If the fd for this directory is then passed into perf_event_open, it does a css_get(). This bounces the ref count back up from zero. This is a problem by itself. But what makes it turn into a crash is the fact that we end up doing an extra dput, since we perform a dput when css_put sees the ref count go down to zero. css_tryget() does not fall into that trap. So, we use that instead.

perf: Remove duplicate invocation on perf_event_for_each The @func callback was invoked twice for group leader when perf_event_for_each() called.

Revert "sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler" This reverts commit cb04ff9ac424 ("sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"). Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked like this (wrt. to perf event schedule): schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - switch to next - schedule in all perf events for current (next) After the commit, the process switch looks like: schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - schedule in all perf events for (next) - switch to next The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current" process). Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled from. Discussed with Peter Zijlstra: > Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now. Sad > though. > > So by having the two hooks we have a black-spot between them > where we receive no events at all, this black-spot covers the > hand-over of current and we thus don't receive the 'wrong' > events. > > I rather liked we could do away with both that black-spot and > clean up the code a little, but apparently people rely on it.

perf: Pass last sampling period to perf_sample_data_init() We always need to pass the last sample period to perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period as argument. So basically a pattern like this: perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL); data.period = event->hw.last_period; will now be like that: perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period); Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

perf: Fix perf_event_for_each() to use sibling In perf_event_for_each() we call a function on an event, and then iterate over the siblings of the event. However we don't call the function on the siblings, we call it repeatedly on the original event - it seems "obvious" that we should be calling it with sibling as the argument. It looks like this broke in commit 75f937f24bd9 ("Fix ctx->mutex vs counter->mutex inversion"). The only effect of the bug is that the PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP parameter to the ioctls doesn't work.

perf: Add callback to flush branch_stack on context switch With branch stack sampling, it is possible to filter by priv levels. In system-wide mode, that means it is possible to capture only user level branches. The builtin SW LBR filter needs to disassemble code based on LBR captured addresses. For that, it needs to know the task the addresses are associated with. Because of context switches, the content of the branch stack buffer may contain addresses from different tasks. We need a callback on context switch to either flush the branch stack or save it. This patch adds a new callback in struct pmu which is called during context switches. The callback is called only when necessary. That is when a system-wide context has, at least, one event which uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK. The callback is never called for per-thread context. In this version, the Intel x86 code simply flushes (resets) the LBR on context switches (fills it with zeroes). Those zeroed branches are then filtered out by the SW filter.

perf: Add generic taken branch sampling support This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the perf_event interface. The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call counts, statistical call graph. This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility. To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK bit must be set in attr->sample_type. Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv levels. The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters to apply to the sampled taken branches. Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter. The following generic filters are currently defined: - PERF_SAMPLE_USER only branches whose targets are at the user level - PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL only branches whose targets are at the kernel level - PERF_SAMPLE_HV only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL indirect call branches Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional. If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions and availability (hv). The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

perf: Fix double start/stop in x86_pmu_start() The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following commit: e050e3f0a71b ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling") The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on the sampling frequency adjustments: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4() It was caused by the following call sequence: perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() { stop() if (delta > 0) { perf_adjust_period() { if (period > 8*...) { stop() ... start() } } } start() } Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering the assert in x86_pmu_start(). The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the start/stop from that function because it's called from __perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a stop/start back-toback call. The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which was removed by commit: 84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()") In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

Now only ->pupulate() takes this argument, because the handlers of this callback always call cgroup_add_file()/cgroup_add_files().

perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism. It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each timer tick. This patch solves this problem and also separates: - unthrottling - multiplexing - frequency-mode period adjustments Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick. This third version of the patch is based on my original patch + PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87). At each timer tick, for each context: - if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events - if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods - if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate) We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1 but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs). We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in frequency mode, we scan the events only once. We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow(). There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right place. The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods, frequency mode, overcommitted PMU. On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 2000 We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000): $ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000 noploop 10 $ perf report -D | tail -21 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 80086 MMAP events: 88 COMM events: 2 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 19996 UNTHROTTLE events: 19996 SAMPLE events: 40000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 40006 MMAP events: 5 COMM events: 1 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 39996 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 For 10s, the cap is 2x2000x10 = 40000 samples.

perf, core: Rate limit perf_sched_events jump_label patching jump_lable patching is very expensive operation that involves pausing all cpus. The patching of perf_sched_events jump_label is easily controllable from userspace by unprivileged user. When te user runs a loop like this: "while true; do perf stat -e cycles true; done" ... the performance of my test application that just increments a counter for one second drops by 4%. This is on a 16 cpu box with my test application using only one of them. An impact on a real server doing real work will be worse. Performance of KVM PMU drops nearly 50% due to jump_lable for "perf record" since KVM PMU implementation creates and destroys perf event frequently. This patch introduces a way to rate limit jump_label patching and uses it to fix the above problem. I believe that as jump_label use will spread the problem will become more common and thus solving it in a generic code is appropriate. Also fixing it in the perf code would result in moving jump_label accounting logic to perf code with all the ifdefs in case of JUMP_LABEL=n kernel. With this patch all details are nicely hidden inside jump_label code.

perf: Avoid a useless pmu_disable() in the perf-tick Gleb writes: > Currently pmu is disabled and re-enabled on each timer interrupt even > when no rotation or frequency adjustment is needed. On Intel CPU this > results in two writes into PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR per tick. On bare metal > it does not cause significant slowdown, but when running perf in a virtual > machine it leads to 20% slowdown on my machine. Cure this by keeping a perf_event_context::nr_freq counter that counts the number of active events that require frequency adjustments and use this in a similar fashion to the already existing nr_events != nr_active test in perf_rotate_context(). By being able to exclude both rotation and frequency adjustments a-priory for the common case we can avoid the otherwise superfluous PMU disable.

perf: Fix loss of notification with multi-event When you do: $ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10 You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at 1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event: $ perf report -D | tail -15 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 10998 MMAP events: 66 COMM events: 2 SAMPLE events: 10930 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3642 SAMPLE events: 3642 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active). And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number of samples per event. The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer, i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes notifications for any event will come via that descriptor. The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL. Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it works for now.

events: Don't divide events if it has field period This patch solves the following problem: Now some samples may be lost due to throttling. The number of samples is restricted by sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ. A trace event is divided on some samples according to event's period. I don't sure, that we should generate more than one sample on each trace event. I think the better way to use SAMPLE_PERIOD. E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process, which sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases. swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns] swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns] In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and in the second case it wants to send 1386750 events. perf-reports shows that process sleeps in both places equal time. It's bug. With this patch kernel generates one event on each "sleep" and the time slice is saved in the field "period". Perf knows how handle it.

oprofile, x86: Reimplement nmi timer mode using perf event The legacy x86 nmi watchdog code was removed with the implementation of the perf based nmi watchdog. This broke Oprofile's nmi timer mode. To run nmi timer mode we relied on a continuous ticking nmi source which the nmi watchdog provided. The nmi tick was no longer available and current watchdog can not be used anymore since it runs with very long periods in the range of seconds. This patch reimplements the nmi timer mode using a perf counter nmi source. V2: * removing pr_info() * fix undefined reference to `__udivdi3' for 32 bit build * fix section mismatch of .cpuinit.data:nmi_timer_cpu_nb * removed nmi timer setup in arch/x86 * implemented function stubs for op_nmi_init/exit() * made code more readable in oprofile_init() V3: * fix architectural initialization in oprofile_init() * fix CONFIG_OPROFILE_NMI_TIMER dependencies Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

mm: distinguish between mlocked and pinned pages Some kernel components pin user space memory (infiniband and perf) (by increasing the page count) and account that memory as "mlocked". The difference between mlocking and pinning is: A. mlocked pages are marked with PG_mlocked and are exempt from swapping. Page migration may move them around though. They are kept on a special LRU list. B. Pinned pages cannot be moved because something needs to directly access physical memory. They may not be on any LRU list. I recently saw an mlockalled process where mm->locked_vm became bigger than the virtual size of the process (!) because some memory was accounted for twice: Once when the page was mlocked and once when the Infiniband layer increased the refcount because it needt to pin the RDMA memory. This patch introduces a separate counter for pinned pages and accounts them seperately.

perf_event: Fix broken calc_timer_values() We detected a serious issue with PERF_SAMPLE_READ and timing information when events were being multiplexing. Samples would have time_running > time_enabled. That was easy to reproduce with a libpfm4 example (ran 3 times to cause multiplexing on Core 2): $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 & $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 & $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 & IIP:0x0000000040062d ...

It turns out the bug was introduced by the following commit: commit c4794295917ebeda8013b6cb9c8d71ab4f74a1fa events: Move lockless timer calculation into helper function The parameters of the function got reversed yet the call sites were not updated to reflect the change. That lead to time_running and time_enabled being swapped. That had no effect when there was no multiplexing because in that case time_running = time_enabled but it would show up in any other scenario.

perf: provide PMU when initing events Currently, an event's 'pmu' field is set after pmu::event_init() is called. This means that pmu::event_init() must figure out which struct pmu the event was initialised from. This makes it difficult to consolidate common event initialisation code for similar PMUs, and very difficult to implement drivers for PMUs which can have multiple instances (e.g. a USB controller PMU, a GPU PMU, etc). This patch sets the 'pmu' field before initialising the event, allowing event init code to identify the struct pmu instance easily. In the event of failure to initialise an event, the event is destroyed via kfree() without calling perf_event::destroy(), so this shouldn't result in bad behaviour even if the destroy field was set before failure to initialise was noted.

perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup context switch code The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a simple ping/pong example: $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10684.51 ctxsw/s Now start a cgroup perf stat: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100 $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 6674.61 ctxsw/s That's a 37% penalty. Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup. The results shown by perf stat are bogus: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100': CPU1 <not counted> cycles test CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles # 0.000 GHz The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock (here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups. The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are in the same cgroup. With this patch the same test now yields: $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10775.30 ctxsw/s Start perf stat with cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Run pong outside the cgroup: $ /pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10687.80 ctxsw/s The penalty is now less than 2%. And the results for perf stat are correct: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10': CPU1 <not counted> cycles test # 0.000 GHz CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz Now perf stat reports the correct counts for for the non cgroup event. If we run pong inside the cgroup, then we also get the correct counts: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10': CPU1 22,297,726,205 cycles test # 0.000 GHz CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz 10.001457237 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110825135803.GA4697@quad Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

perf: Add PM notifiers to fix CPU hotplug races Francis reports that s2r gets him spurious NMIs, this is because the suspend code leaves the boot cpu up and running. Cure this by adding a suspend notifier. The problem is that hotplug and suspend are completely un-serialized and the PM notifiers run before the suspend cpu unplug of all but the boot cpu. This leaves a window where the user can initialize another hotplug operation (either remove or add a cpu) resulting in either one too many or one too few hotplug ops. Thus we cannot use the hotplug code for the suspend case. There's another reason to not use the hotplug code, which is that the hotplug code totally destroys the perf state, we can do better for suspend and simply remove all counters from the PMU so that we can re-instate them on resume.

perf: Remove the nmi parameter from the swevent and overflow interface The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the resulting interrupt do the wakeup. For the various event classes: - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from the PMI-tail (ARM etc.) - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context. - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot perform wakeups, and hence need 0. As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented). The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

events: Ensure that timers are updated without requiring read() call The event tracing infrastructure exposes two timers which should be updated each time the value of the counter is updated. Currently, these counters are only updated when userspace calls read() on the fd associated with an event. This means that counters which are read via the mmap'd page exclusively never have their timers updated. This patch adds ensures that the timers are updated each time the values in the mmap'd page are updated.

perf_events: Fix perf buffer watermark setting Since 2.6.36 (specifically commit d57e34fdd60b ("perf: Simplify the ring-buffer logic: make perf_buffer_alloc() do everything needed"), the perf_buffer_init_code() has been mis-setting the buffer watermark if perf_event_attr.wakeup_events has a non-zero value. This is because perf_event_attr.wakeup_events is a union with perf_event_attr.wakeup_watermark. This commit re-enables the check for perf_event_attr.watermark being set before continuing with setting a non-default watermark. This bug is most noticable when you are trying to use PERF_IOC_REFRESH with a value larger than one and perf_event_attr.wakeup_events is set to one. In this case the buffer watermark will be set to 1 and you will get extraneous POLL_IN overflows rather than POLL_HUP as expected. [ avoid using attr.wakeup_events when attr.watermark is set ] Signed-off-by: Vince Weaver <vweaver1@eecs.utk.edu> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.00.1106011506390.5384@cl320.eecs.utk.edu Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

perf, core: Fix initial task_ctx/event installation A lost Quilt refresh of 2c29ef0fef8 (perf: Simplify and fix __perf_install_in_context()) is causing grief and lockups, reported by Jiri Olsa. When installing an event in a task context, there's a number of issues: - there might not be an existing task context, in which case we should install the now current context; - there might already be a context, not the current one, in which case we should de-schedule the old and install the new; these cases were dealt with in the lost refresh, however there is one further case that was found in testing: - there might already be a context, the current one, in which case we should still de-schedule, and should take care to re-install it (note that task_ctx_sched_out() clears cpuctx->task_ctx).

perf: Change close() semantics for group events In order to always call list_del_event() on the correct cpu if the event is part of an active context and avoid having to do two IPIs, change the close() semantics slightly. The current perf_event_disable() call would disable a whole group if the event that's being closed is the group leader, whereas the new code keeps the group siblings enabled. People should not rely on this behaviour and I don't think they do, but in case we find they do, the fix is easy and we have to take the double IPI cost.

perf: Simplify and fix __perf_install_in_context() Currently __perf_install_in_context() will try and schedule in the event irrespective of our event scheduling rules, that is, we try to schedule CPU-pinned, TASK-pinned, CPU-flexible, TASK-flexible, but when creating a new event we simply try and schedule it on top of whatever is already on the PMU, this can lead to errors for pinned events. Therefore, simplify things and simply schedule everything out, add the event to the corresponding context and schedule everything back in. This also nicely handles the case where with __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW the IPI can come right in the middle of schedule, before we managed to call perf_event_task_sched_in().

perf: Start the restructuring mv kernel/perf_event.c -> kernel/events/core.c. From there, all further sensible splitting can happen. The idea is that due to perf_event.c becoming pretty sizable and with the advent of the marriage with ftrace, splitting functionality into its logical parts should help speeding up the unification and to manage the complexity of the subsystem.
