perf/core: Fix data race between perf_event_set_output() and perf_mmap_close()

2022-07-29T15:19:11+00:00

[ 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(&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.

perf: Fix sys_perf_event_open() race against self

2022-05-25T07:17:55+00:00

commit 3ac6487e584a1eb54071dbe1212e05b884136704 upstream.

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->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.

perf/core: Fix perf_mmap fail when CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC enabled

2022-04-27T11:53:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit 60490e7966659b26d74bf1fa4aa8693d9a94ca88 ]

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->rb->nr_pages != nr_pages
in perf_mmap is true when CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC is enabled where
event->rb->nr_pages = 1 and nr_pages = 2048 resulting perf_mmap to
return -EINVAL. This is because when CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC is
enabled, rb->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/...

Fix this problem by using data_page_nr()

perf: Fix list corruption in perf_cgroup_switch()

commit 5f4e5ce638e6a490b976ade4a40017b40abb2da0 upstream.

There's list corruption on cgrp_cpuctx_list. This happens on the
following path:

  perf_cgroup_switch: list_for_each_entry(cgrp_cpuctx_list)
      cpu_ctx_sched_in
         ctx_sched_in

Use list_for_each_entry_safe() to allow removing an entry during
iteration.

perf: Always wake the parent event

2022-02-16T11:54:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 961c39121759ad09a89598ec4ccdd34ae0468a19 ]

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

2022-02-01T16:25:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 09f5e7dc7ad705289e1b1ec065439aa3c42951c4 ]

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.

perf: Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU

2022-01-20T08:17:50+00:00

commit ff083a2d972f56bebfd82409ca62e5dfce950961 upstream.

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:
