<title>perf/core: Wire up compat PERF_EVENT_IOC_QUERY_BPF, PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES</title>

<content type='text'>
Since pointer size is different in compat, and switching in _perf_ioctl
is done using exact ioctl numbers, all new ioctl numbers that use pointer
should be added to perf_compat_ioctl for _IOC_SIZE fixup before passing
to perf_ioctl routine (this shouldn't be needed if semantics of the size
argument of _IO* macros was honored).

As Miklos reported and suggested:

 "This pattern repeats two times in trace_uprobe.c and in
  kernel/events/core.c as well:

      ret = kern_path(filename, LOOKUP_FOLLOW, &amp;path);
      if (ret)
          goto fail_address_parse;

      inode = igrab(d_inode(path.dentry));
      path_put(&amp;path);

  And it's wrong.  You can only hold a reference to the inode if you
  have an active ref to the superblock as well (which is normally
  through path.mnt) or holding s_umount.

  This way unmounting the containing filesystem while the tracepoint is
  active will give you the "VFS: Busy inodes after unmount..." message
  and a crash when the inode is finally put.

  Solution: store path instead of inode."

This patch fixes the issue in kernel/event/core.c.

<title>perf/core: Fix group scheduling with mixed hw and sw events</title>
<updated>2018-05-25T06:11:10+00:00</updated>

<name>Song Liu</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=a1150c202207cc8501bebc45b63c264f91959260'/>
<id>a1150c202207cc8501bebc45b63c264f91959260</id>
<content type='text'>
When hw and sw events are mixed in the same group, they are all attached
to the hw perf_event_context. This sometimes requires moving group of
perf_event to a different context.

We found a bug in how the kernel handles this, for example if we do:

   perf stat -e '{faults,ref-cycles,faults}'  -I 1000

     1.005591180              1,297      faults
     1.005591180        457,476,576      ref-cycles
     1.005591180    &lt;not supported&gt;      faults

First, sw event "faults" is attached to the sw context, and becomes the
group leader. Then, hw event "ref-cycles" is attached, so both events
are moved to the hw context. Last, another sw "faults" tries to attach,
but it fails because of mismatch between the new target ctx (from sw
pmu) and the group_leader's ctx (hw context, same as ref-cycles).

The broken condition is:
   group_leader is sw event;
   group_leader is on hw context;
   add a sw event to the group.

Fix this scenario by checking group_leader's context (instead of just
event type). If group_leader is on hw context, use the -&gt;pmu of this
context to look up context for the new event.

<title>perf/core: Store context switch out type in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE]</title>

Store preempting context switch out event into Perf trace as a part of
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE] record.

Percentage of preempting and non-preempting context switches help
understanding the nature of workloads (CPU or IO bound) that are running
on a machine;

The event is treated as preemption one when task-&gt;state value of the
thread being switched out is TASK_RUNNING. Event type encoding is
implemented using PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT_PREEMPT bit;

Non-root user cannot create kprobe or uprobe through the text-based
interface (kprobe_events, uprobe_events),so they should not be able
to create probes via perf_event_open() either.

	 __do_softirq+0x238/0x7ae

	The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff880384f9b480
	 which belongs to the cache task_struct of size 12928

It occurs because task_struct is freed before perf_event which refers
to the task and task flags are checked while teardown of the event.
perf_event_alloc() assigns task_struct to hw.target of perf_event,
but there is no reference counting for it.

As a fix we get_task_struct() in perf_event_alloc() at above mentioned
assignment and put_task_struct() in _free_event().

	The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff880384f9b480
	 which belongs to the cache task_struct of size 12928

It occurs because task_struct is freed before perf_event which refers
to the task and task flags are checked while teardown of the event.
perf_event_alloc() assigns task_struct to hw.target of perf_event,
but there is no reference counting for it.

As a fix we get_task_struct() in perf_event_alloc() at above mentioned
assignment and put_task_struct() in _free_event().

<title>perf/x86/pt, coresight: Clean up address filter structure</title>

This is a cosmetic patch that deals with the address filter structure's
ambiguous fields 'filter' and 'range'. The former stands to mean that the
filter's *action* should be to filter the traces to its address range if
it's set or stop tracing if it's unset. This is confusing and hard on the
eyes, so this patch replaces it with 'action' enum. The 'range' field is
completely redundant (meaning that the filter is an address range as
opposed to a single address trigger), as we can use zero size to mean the
same thing.
