perf/core: Restore mmap record type correctly

2019-04-20T07:15:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit d9c1bb2f6a2157b38e8eb63af437cb22701d31ee ]

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 core: Fix perf_proc_update_handler() bug

2019-03-13T21:02:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1a51c5da5acc6c188c917ba572eebac5f8793432 ]

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.

Committer testing:

  # echo 100 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent
  # echo 10001 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
  10001
  #

perf/x86: Add check_period PMU callback

2019-02-20T09:25:45+00:00

commit 81ec3f3c4c4d78f2d3b6689c9816bfbdf7417dbb upstream.

Vince (and later on Ravi) reported crashes in the BTS code during
fuzzing with the following backtrace:

  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  ...
  RIP: 0010:perf_prepare_sample+0x8f/0x510

   smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x3e/0xe0
   call_function_single_interrupt+0xf/0x20
   

The reason is that while event init code does several checks
for BTS events and prevents several unwanted config bits for
BTS event (like precise_ip), the PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD allows
to create BTS event without those checks being done.

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.

perf/ring_buffer: Prevent concurent ring buffer access

2018-10-02T07:37:59+00:00

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: Add sanity check to deal with pinned event failure

2018-09-28T20:44:53+00:00

It is possible that a failure can occur during the scheduling of a
pinned event. The initial portion of perf_event_read_local() contains
the various error checks an event should pass before it can be
considered valid. Ensure that the potential scheduling failure
of a pinned event is checked for and have a credible error.

perf/core: Force USER_DS when recording user stack data

2018-09-10T12:01:46+00:00

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.

So fix this by forcing USER_DS when recording user stack data.

perf/hw_breakpoint: Simplify breakpoint enable in perf_event_modify_breakpoint

2018-08-30T17:49:24+00:00

paths by checking only the bp->attr.disabled, which either holds the new
'requested' disabled state or the original breakpoint state.

Pull core signal handling updates from Eric Biederman:
 "It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a
  sufficiently expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing.
  This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.

  This set of changes is split into several parts:

   - The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
     something only for very special cases. The part starts using
     PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
     actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
     of processes or just a single process.

   - With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
     that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
     appear to be received after the fork completes"
