perf/aux: Fix tracking of auxiliary trace buffer allocation

2019-11-06T12:08:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5e6c3c7b1ec217c1c4c95d9148182302b9969b97 ]

The following commit from the v5.4 merge window:

  d44248a41337 ("perf/core: Rework memory accounting in perf_mmap()")

... breaks auxiliary trace buffer tracking.

If I run command 'perf record -e rbd000' to record samples and saving
them in the **auxiliary** trace buffer then the value of 'locked_vm' becomes
negative after all trace buffers have been allocated and released:

During allocation the values increase:

  [52.250027] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x87 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0
  [52.250115] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x107 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0

  [52.253018] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x487 ret:0
  [52.253197] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x508 ret:0
  [52.253374] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x589 ret:0
  [52.253550] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x60a ret:0
  [52.253726] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x68b ret:0
  [52.253903] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x70c ret:0

  [52.254263] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x80e ret:0

The value of user->locked_vm increases to a limit then the memory
is tracked by pinned_vm.

During deallocation the size is subtracted from pinned_vm until
it hits a limit. Then a larger value is subtracted from locked_vm
leading to a large number (because of type unsigned):

  [64.267797] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x78d
  [64.267826] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x70c
  [64.267848] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x68b
  [64.267869] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x60a
  [64.267891] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x589
  [64.267911] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x508
  [64.267933] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x487
  [64.267952] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x406
  [64.268883] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x307 pinned_vm:0x406
  [64.269117] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x206 pinned_vm:0x406
  [64.269433] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x105 pinned_vm:0x406
  [64.269536] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x4 pinned_vm:0x404
  [64.269797] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0xffffffffffffff84 pinned_vm:0x303
  [64.270105] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0xffffffffffffff04 pinned_vm:0x202
  [64.270374] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0xfffffffffffffe84 pinned_vm:0x101
  [64.270628] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0xfffffffffffffe04 pinned_vm:0x0

This value sticks for the user until system is rebooted, causing
follow-on system calls using locked_vm resource limit to fail.

Note: There is no issue using the normal trace buffer.

In fact the issue is in perf_mmap_close(). During allocation auxiliary
trace buffer memory is either traced as 'extra' and added to 'pinned_vm'
or trace as 'user_extra' and added to 'locked_vm'. This applies for
normal trace buffers and auxiliary trace buffer.

However in function perf_mmap_close() all auxiliary trace buffer is
subtraced from 'locked_vm' and never from 'pinned_vm'. This breaks the
ballance.

perf/core: Fix corner case in perf_rotate_context()

2019-11-06T12:08:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7fa343b7fdc4f351de4e3f28d5c285937dd1f42f ]

In perf_rotate_context(), when the first cpu flexible event fail to
schedule, cpu_rotate is 1, while cpu_event is NULL. Since cpu_event is
NULL, perf_rotate_context will _NOT_ call cpu_ctx_sched_out(), thus
cpuctx->ctx.is_active will have EVENT_FLEXIBLE set. Then, the next
perf_event_sched_in() will skip all cpu flexible events because of the
EVENT_FLEXIBLE bit.

In the next call of perf_rotate_context(), cpu_rotate stays 1, and
cpu_event stays NULL, so this process repeats. The end result is, flexible
events on this cpu will not be scheduled (until another event being added
to the cpuctx).

Here is an easy repro of this issue. On Intel CPUs, where ref-cycles
could only use one counter, run one pinned event for ref-cycles, one
flexible event for ref-cycles, and one flexible event for cycles. The
flexible ref-cycles is never scheduled, which is expected. However,
because of this issue, the cycles event is never scheduled either.

 $ perf stat -e ref-cycles:D,ref-cycles,cycles -C 5 -I 1000

           time             counts unit events
    1.000152973         15,412,480      ref-cycles:D
    1.000152973            ref-cycles     (0.00%)
    1.000152973            cycles         (0.00%)
    2.000486957         18,263,120      ref-cycles:D
    2.000486957            ref-cycles     (0.00%)
    2.000486957            cycles         (0.00%)

To fix this, when the flexible_active list is empty, try rotate the
first event in the flexible_groups. Also, rename ctx_first_active() to
ctx_event_to_rotate(), which is more accurate.

perf/core: Rework memory accounting in perf_mmap()

2019-11-06T12:08:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit d44248a41337731a111374822d7d4451b64e73e4 ]

perf_mmap() always increases user->locked_vm. As a result, "extra" could
grow bigger than "user_extra", which doesn't make sense. Here is an
example case:

(Note: Assume "user_lock_limit" is very small.)

  | # of perf_mmap calls |vma->vm_mm->pinned_vm|user->locked_vm|
  | 0                    | 0                   | 0             |
  | 1                    | user_extra          | user_extra    |
  | 2                    | 3 * user_extra      | 2 * user_extra|
  | 3                    | 6 * user_extra      | 3 * user_extra|
  | 4                    | 10 * user_extra     | 4 * user_extra|

Fix this by maintaining proper user_extra and extra.

perf/aux: Fix AUX output stopping

2019-10-29T08:22:39+00:00

commit f3a519e4add93b7b31a6616f0b09635ff2e6a159 upstream.

Commit:

  8a58ddae2379 ("perf/core: Fix exclusive events' grouping")

allows CAP_EXCLUSIVE events to be grouped with other events. Since all
of those also happen to be AUX events (which is not the case the other
way around, because arch/s390), this changes the rules for stopping the
output: the AUX event may not be on its PMU's context any more, if it's
grouped with a HW event, in which case it will be on that HW event's
context instead. If that's the case, munmap() of the AUX buffer can't
find and stop the AUX event, potentially leaving the last reference with
the atomic context, which will then end up freeing the AUX buffer. This
will then trip warnings:

Fix this by using the context's PMU context when looking for events
to stop, instead of the event's PMU context.

are disabled, arch_hw_breakpoint may be used before initialization after:

  9a4903dde2c86 ("perf/hw_breakpoint: Split attribute parse and commit")

On our ARM platform, the struct step_ctrl in arch_hw_breakpoint, which
used to be zero-initialized by kzalloc(), may be used in
arch_install_hw_breakpoint() without initialization.

perf/core: Fix creating kernel counters for PMUs that override event->cpu

2019-07-25T13:41:31+00:00

Some hardware PMU drivers will override perf_event.cpu inside their
event_init callback. This causes a lockdep splat when initialized through
the kernel API:

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 250 at kernel/events/core.c:2917 ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208
 pc : ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208

perf/core: Fix exclusive events' grouping

2019-07-13T09:21:28+00:00

So far, we tried to disallow grouping exclusive events for the fear of
complications they would cause with moving between contexts. Specifically,
moving a software group to a hardware context would violate the exclusivity
rules if both groups contain matching exclusive events.

This attempt was, however, unsuccessful: the check that we have in the
perf_event_open() syscall is both wrong (looks at wrong PMU) and
insufficient (group leader may still be exclusive), as can be illustrated
by running:

  $ perf record -e '{intel_pt//,cycles}' uname
  $ perf record -e '{cycles,intel_pt//}' uname

ultimately successfully.

Furthermore, we are completely free to trigger the exclusivity violation
by:

   perf -e '{cycles,intel_pt//}' -e '{intel_pt//,instructions}'

even though the helpful perf record will not allow that, the ABI will.

The warning later in the perf_event_open() path will also not trigger, because
it's also wrong.

Fix all this by validating the original group before moving, getting rid
of broken safeguards and placing a useful one to perf_install_in_context().

perf/core: Fix race between close() and fork()

		   // is the already freed failed clone()
		   if (event->hw.target)
		     put_task_struct(event->hw.target)
		       // WHOOPSIE, already quite dead

Which puts the lie to the the comment on perf_event_free_task():
'unexposed, unused context' not so much.

Which is a 'fun' confluence of fail; copy_process() doing an
unconditional free_task() and not respecting refcounts, and perf having
creative locking. In particular:

  82d94856fa22 ("perf/core: Fix lock inversion between perf,trace,cpuhp")

seems to have overlooked this 'fun' parade.

Solve it by using the fact that detached events still have a reference
count on their (previous) context. With this perf_event_free_task()
can detect when events have escaped and wait for their destruction.

 "The main changes in this cycle on the kernel side were:

   - CPU PMU and uncore driver updates to Intel Snow Ridge, IceLake,
     KabyLake, AmberLake and WhiskeyLake CPUs.

   - Rework the MSR probing infrastructure to make it more robust, make
     it work better on virtualized systems and to better expose it on
     sysfs.

   - Rework PMU attributes group support based on the feedback from
     Greg. The core sysfs patch that adds sysfs_update_groups() was
     acked by Greg.

  There's a lot of perf tooling changes as well, all around the place:

   - vendor updates to Intel, cs-etm (ARM), ARM64, s390,

   - various enhancements to Intel PT tooling support:
      - Improve CBR (Core to Bus Ratio) packets support.
      - Export power and ptwrite events to sqlite and postgresql.
      - Add support for decoding PEBS via PT packets.
      - Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles
        information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically
      - Allow using time ranges

   - lots of updates to perf pmu, perf stat, perf trace, eBPF support,
