perf/core: Correct event creation with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP

2018-04-13T17:48:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit ba5213ae6b88fb170c4771fef6553f759c7d8cdd ]

Andi was asking about PERF_FORMAT_GROUP vs inherited events, which led
to the discovery of a bug from commit:

  3dab77fb1bf8 ("perf: Rework/fix the whole read vs group stuff")

 -       PERF_SAMPLE_GROUP                       = 1U << 4,
 +       PERF_SAMPLE_READ                        = 1U << 4,

 -       if (attr->inherit && (attr->sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_GROUP))
 +       if (attr->inherit && (attr->read_format & PERF_FORMAT_GROUP))

is a clear fail :/

While this changes user visible behaviour; it was previously possible
to create an inherited event with PERF_SAMPLE_READ; this is deemed
acceptible because its results were always incorrect.

perf/core: Fix error handling in perf_event_alloc()

We don't set an error code here which means that perf_event_alloc()

perf/callchain: Force USER_DS when invoking perf_callchain_user()

2018-04-13T17:47:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit 88b0193d9418c00340e45e0a913a0813bc6c8c96 ]

Perf can generate and record a user callchain in response to a synchronous
request, such as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS),
then we can end up walking the user stack (and dereferencing/saving whatever we
find there) without the protections usually afforded by checks such as
access_ok.

Rather than play whack-a-mole with each architecture's stack unwinding
implementation, fix the root of the problem by ensuring that we force USER_DS
when invoking perf_callchain_user from the perf core.

perf/hwbp: Simplify the perf-hwbp code, fix documentation

commit f67b15037a7a50c57f72e69a6d59941ad90a0f0f upstream.

Annoyingly, modify_user_hw_breakpoint() unnecessarily complicates the
modification of a breakpoint - simplify it and remove the pointless
local variables.

Also update the stale Docbook while at it.

perf/x86/intel: Account interrupts for PEBS errors

2017-12-09T21:01:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 475113d937adfd150eb82b5e2c5507125a68e7af ]

It's possible to set up PEBS events to get only errors and not
any data, like on SNB-X (model 45) and IVB-EP (model 62)
via 2 perf commands running simultaneously:

    taskset -c 1 ./perf record -c 4 -e branches:pp -j any -C 10

This leads to a soft lock up, because the error path of the
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm() does not account event->hw.interrupt
for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY
errors you don't have a way to stop the event when it's over
the max_samples_per_tick limit:

  NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#22 stuck for 22s! [perf_fuzzer:5816]

Add perf_event_account_interrupt() which does the interrupt

error path.

We keep the pending_kill and pending_wakeup logic only in the
__perf_event_overflow() path, because they make sense only if
there's any data to deliver.

bpf: one perf event close won't free bpf program attached by another perf event

2017-10-12T09:51:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit ec9dd352d591f0c90402ec67a317c1ed4fb2e638 ]

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
     
  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.

mm, uprobes: fix multiple free of ->uprobes_state.xol_area

2017-09-07T06:35:39+00:00

commit 355627f518978b5167256d27492fe0b343aaf2f2 upstream.

Commit 7c051267931a ("mm, fork: make dup_mmap wait for mmap_sem for
write killable") made it possible to kill a forking task while it is
waiting to acquire its ->mmap_sem for write, in dup_mmap().

However, it was overlooked that this introduced an new error path before
the new mm_struct's ->uprobes_state.xol_area has been set to NULL after
being copied from the old mm_struct by the memcpy in dup_mm().  For a
task that has previously hit a uprobe tracepoint, this resulted in the
'struct xol_area' being freed multiple times if the task was killed at
just the right time while forking.

Fix it by setting ->uprobes_state.xol_area to NULL in mm_init() rather
than in uprobe_dup_mmap().

With CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS=y, the bug can be reproduced by the same C
program given by commit 2b7e8665b4ff ("fork: fix incorrect fput of
->exe_file causing use-after-free"), provided that a uprobe tracepoint
has been set on the fork_thread() function.  For example:

    $ gcc reproducer.c -o reproducer -lpthread
    $ nm reproducer | grep fork_thread
    0000000000400719 t fork_thread
    $ echo "p $PWD/reproducer:0x719" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
    $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/uprobes/enable
    $ ./reproducer

perf/core: Fix group {cpu,task} validation

2017-08-30T08:21:50+00:00

commit 64aee2a965cf2954a038b5522f11d2cd2f0f8f3e upstream.

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 
  #include 
  #include 
  #include 
  #include 
  #include

  static int perf_event_open(struct perf_event_attr *attr, pid_t pid, int cpu,

  {
	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. This means that the group should never be possible to
	 * schedule.
	 */
	ret = perf_event_open(&wp_attr, 0, 1, leader, 0);
	if (ret < 0) {
		printf("Couldn't open mismatched follower: %d\n", ret);
		return 1;
	} else {
		printf("Opened leader/follower with mismastched CPUs\n");
	}

	/*
	 * Open as many independent events as we can, all bound to the same
	 * task, CPU0 only.
	 */
	do {
		ret = perf_event_open(&wp_attr, 0, 0, -1, 0);
	} while (ret >= 0);

	/*
	 * Force enable/disble all events to trigger the erronoeous
	 * installation of the follower event.
	 */
	printf("Opened all events. Toggling..\n");
	for (;;) {
		prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_DISABLE, 0, 0, 0, 0);
		prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_ENABLE, 0, 0, 0, 0);
	}

	return 0;
  }

Fix this by validating this requirement regardless of whether we're
moving events.

Revert "perf/core: Drop kernel samples even though :u is specified"

2017-07-27T22:08:06+00:00

commit 6a8a75f3235724c5941a33e287b2f98966ad14c5 upstream.

This reverts commit cc1582c231ea041fbc68861dfaf957eaf902b829.

This commit introduced a regression that broke rr-project, which uses sampling
events to receive a signal on overflow (but does not care about the contents
of the sample). These signals are critical to the correct operation of rr.

There's been some back and forth about how to fix it - but to not keep
applications in limbo queue up a revert.

perf/core: Fix sys_perf_event_open() vs. hotplug

2017-07-05T12:40:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 63cae12bce9861cec309798d34701cf3da20bc71 ]

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
