perf: Rework perf_event_exit_event()

2021-05-12T06:37:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit ef54c1a476aef7eef26fe13ea10dc090952c00f8 ]

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

2021-05-07T09:11:25+00:00

commit 08ef1af4de5fe7de9c6d69f1e22e51b66e385d9b upstream.

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: Flush PMU internal buffers for per-CPU events

2021-03-17T16:11:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit a5398bffc01fe044848c5024e5e867e407f239b8 ]

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.

Pull core entry/exit updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of updates for entry/exit handling:

   - More generalization of entry/exit functionality

   - The consolidation work to reclaim TIF flags on x86 and also for
     non-x86 specific TIF flags which are solely relevant for syscall
     related work and have been moved into their own storage space. The
     x86 specific part had to be merged in to avoid a major conflict.

   - The TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL work which replaces the inefficient signal
     delivery mode of task work and results in an impressive performance
     improvement for io_uring. The non-x86 consolidation of this is
     going to come seperate via Jens.

   - The selective syscall redirection facility which provides a clean
     and efficient way to support the non-Linux syscalls of WINE by
     catching them at syscall entry and redirecting them to the user
     space emulation. This can be utilized for other purposes as well
     and has been designed carefully to avoid overhead for the regular
     fastpath. This includes the core changes and the x86 support code.

   - Simplification of the context tracking entry/exit handling for the
     users of the generic entry code which guarantee the proper ordering
     and protection.

   - Preparatory changes to make the generic entry code accomodate S390
     specific requirements which are mostly related to their syscall
     restart mechanism"

exec: Transform exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore

2020-12-10T19:13:32+00:00

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: Break deadlock involving exec_update_mutex

2020-12-09T16:08:57+00:00

Syzbot reported a lock inversion involving perf. The sore point being
perf holding exec_update_mutex() for a very long time, specifically
across a whole bunch of filesystem ops in pmu::event_init() (uprobes)
and anon_inode_getfile().

This then inverts against procfs code trying to take
exec_update_mutex.

Move the permission checks later, such that we need to hold the mutex
over less code.

perf/core: Fix arch_perf_get_page_size()

2020-12-03T09:14:51+00:00

The (new) page-table walker in arch_perf_get_page_size() is broken in
various ways. Specifically while it is used in a lockless manner, it
doesn't depend on CONFIG_HAVE_FAST_GUP nor uses the proper _lockless
offset methods, nor is careful to only read each entry only once.

Also the hugetlb support is broken due to calling pte_page() without
first checking pte_special().

Rewrite the whole thing to be a proper lockless page-table walker and
employ the new pXX_leaf_size() pgtable functions to determine the
pagetable size without looking at the page-frames.
