[ Upstream commit 68e3c69803dada336893640110cb87221bb01dcf ]

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(&amp;e2-&gt;rb-&gt;mmap_count)) // 1 - &gt; 0
	    detach_rest = true

						ioctl(e1, IOC_SET_OUTPUT, e2)
						  perf_event_set_output(e1, e2)

	  ...
	  list_for_each_entry_rcu(e, &amp;e2-&gt;rb-&gt;event_list, rb_entry)
	    ring_buffer_attach(e, NULL);
	    // e1 isn't yet added and
	    // therefore not detached

						    ring_buffer_attach(e1, e2-&gt;rb)
						      list_add_rcu(&amp;e1-&gt;rb_entry,
								   &amp;e2-&gt;rb-&gt;event_list)

After this; e1 is attached to an unmapped rb and a subsequent
perf_mmap() will loop forever more:

	again:
		mutex_lock(&amp;e-&gt;mmap_mutex);
		if (event-&gt;rb) {
			...
			if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&amp;e-&gt;rb-&gt;mmap_count)) {
				...
				mutex_unlock(&amp;e-&gt;mmap_mutex);
				goto again;
			}
		}

The loop in perf_mmap_close() holds e2-&gt;mmap_mutex, while the attach
in perf_event_set_output() holds e1-&gt;mmap_mutex. As such there is no
serialization to avoid this race.

Change perf_event_set_output() to take both e1-&gt;mmap_mutex and
e2-&gt;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.

<title>signal: Deliver SIGTRAP on perf event asynchronously if blocked</title>

[ Upstream commit 78ed93d72ded679e3caf0758357209887bda885f ]

With SIGTRAP on perf events, we have encountered termination of
processes due to user space attempting to block delivery of SIGTRAP.
Consider this case:

    &lt;set up SIGTRAP on a perf event&gt;
    ...
    sigset_t s;
    sigemptyset(&amp;s);
    sigaddset(&amp;s, SIGTRAP | &lt;and others&gt;);
    sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &amp;s, ...);
    ...
    &lt;perf event triggers&gt;

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. ]

Norbert reported that it's possible to race sys_perf_event_open() such
that the looser ends up in another context from the group leader,
triggering many WARNs.

The move_group case checks for races against itself, but the
!move_group case doesn't, seemingly relying on the previous
group_leader-&gt;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.

Additionally, clarify the not_move_group case from the
move_group-vs-move_group race.

This problem can be reproduced with CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC enabled on
both x86_64 and aarch64 arch when using sysdig -B(using ebpf)[1].
sysdig -B works fine after rebuilding the kernel with
CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC disabled.

I tracked it down to the if condition event-&gt;rb-&gt;nr_pages != nr_pages
in perf_mmap is true when CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC is enabled where
event-&gt;rb-&gt;nr_pages = 1 and nr_pages = 2048 resulting perf_mmap to
return -EINVAL. This is because when CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC is
enabled, rb-&gt;nr_pages is always equal to 1.

Arch with CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC enabled by default:
	arc/arm/csky/mips/sh/sparc/xtensa

Arch with CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC disabled by default:
	x86_64/aarch64/...

When enable a cgroup event, cpuctx-&gt;cgrp setting is conditional
on the current task cgrp matching the event's cgroup, so have to
do it for every new event. It brings complexity but no advantage.

To keep it simple, this patch would always set cpuctx-&gt;cgrp
when enable the first cgroup event, and reset to NULL when disable
the last cgroup event.

There is a race problem that can trigger WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;cgroups changed cause
cgrp1 != cgrp2 in sched_in(), cpuctx will do sched_in. So trigger
WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx-&gt;cgrp).

Even though __perf_cgroup_move() will be synchronized as the context
switch disables the interrupt, context_switch() still can see the
task-&gt;cgroups is changing in the middle, since task-&gt;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-&gt;cgroups with next-&gt;cgroups to decide
whether to skip cpuctx sched_out/in since the prev-&gt;cgroups is changing
too. For example:

CPU1					CPU2
					cgroup_migrate_execute()
					  prev-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;cgroups still sched on
the CPU, which is wrong.

The solution is that we should use cpuctx-&gt;cgrp to compare with
the next task's perf_cgroup. Since cpuctx-&gt;cgrp can only be changed
on local CPU, and we have irq disabled, we can read cpuctx-&gt;cgrp to
compare without holding ctx lock.

    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-&gt;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-&gt;cgroups changed cause
cgrp1 != cgrp2 in sched_in(), cpuctx will do sched_in. So trigger
WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx-&gt;cgrp).

Even though __perf_cgroup_move() will be synchronized as the context
switch disables the interrupt, context_switch() still can see the
task-&gt;cgroups is changing in the middle, since task-&gt;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-&gt;cgroups with next-&gt;cgroups to decide
whether to skip cpuctx sched_out/in since the prev-&gt;cgroups is changing
too. For example:

CPU1					CPU2
					cgroup_migrate_execute()
					  prev-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;cgroups still sched on
the CPU, which is wrong.

The solution is that we should use cpuctx-&gt;cgrp to compare with
the next task's perf_cgroup. Since cpuctx-&gt;cgrp can only be changed
on local CPU, and we have irq disabled, we can read cpuctx-&gt;cgrp to
compare without holding ctx lock.

Since we use perf_cgroup_set_timestamp() to start cgroup time and
set active to 1, then use update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx() to stop
cgroup time and set active to 0.

We can use info-&gt;active directly to check if cgroup is active.

<title>perf/core: Don't pass task around when ctx sched in</title>

The current code pass task around for ctx_sched_in(), only
to get perf_cgroup of the task, then update the timestamp
of it and its ancestors and set them to active.

But we can use cpuctx-&gt;cgrp to get active perf_cgroup and
its ancestors since cpuctx-&gt;cgrp has been set before
ctx_sched_in().

This patch remove the task argument in ctx_sched_in()
and cleanup related code.

It was reported that some perf event setup can make fork failed on
ARM64.  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.

A simple reproducer is:

  $ perf stat -e '{cycles,cs,instructions}' perf bench sched messaging
  # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
  perf: fork(): Invalid argument

The perf stat was fine but the perf bench failed in fork().  Let's
inherit the event caps from the parent.

     This was already gone from all major architectures, but now we can
     finally remove it everywhere, which loses some particularly tricky
     and error-prone code. There is a small merge conflict against a
     parisc cleanup, the solution is to use their new version.

   - The nds32 architecture ends its tenure in the Linux kernel.

     The hardware is still used and the code is in reasonable shape, but
     the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all
     remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never
     be updated to a future release.
