perf/core: Provide a kernel-internal interface to pause perf_event

2019-11-15T10:44:07Z

Exporting perf_event_pause() as an external accessor for kernel users (such as KVM) who may do both disable perf_event and read count with just one time to hold perf_event_ctx_lock. Also the value could be reset optionally. Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Like Xu Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

perf/core: Provide a kernel-internal interface to recalibrate event period

2019-11-15T10:44:06Z

Currently, perf_event_period() is used by user tools via ioctl. Based on naming convention, exporting perf_event_period() for kernel users (such as KVM) who may recalibrate the event period for their assigned counter according to their requirements. The perf_event_period() is an external accessor, just like the perf_event_{en,dis}able() and should thus use perf_event_ctx_lock().

perf/aux: Allow using AUX data in perf samples

2019-11-13T10:06:14Z

AUX data can be used to annotate perf events such as performance counters or tracepoints/breakpoints by including it in sample records when PERF_SAMPLE_AUX flag is set. Such samples would be instrumental in debugging and profiling by providing, for example, a history of instruction flow leading up to the event's overflow. The implementation makes use of grouping an AUX event with all the events that wish to take samples of the AUX data, such that the former is the group leader. The samplees should also specify the desired size of the AUX sample via attr.aux_sample_size. AUX capable PMUs need to explicitly add support for sampling, because it relies on a new callback to take a snapshot of the buffer without touching the event states.

perf_event: Add support for LSM and SELinux checks

2019-10-17T19:31:55Z

In current mainline, the degree of access to perf_event_open(2) system call depends on the perf_event_paranoid sysctl. This has a number of limitations: 1. The sysctl is only a single value. Many types of accesses are controlled based on the single value thus making the control very limited and coarse grained. 2. The sysctl is global, so if the sysctl is changed, then that means all processes get access to perf_event_open(2) opening the door to security issues. This patch adds LSM and SELinux access checking which will be used in Android to access perf_event_open(2) for the purposes of attaching BPF programs to tracepoints, perf profiling and other operations from userspace. These operations are intended for production systems. 5 new LSM hooks are added: 1. perf_event_open: This controls access during the perf_event_open(2) syscall itself. The hook is called from all the places that the perf_event_paranoid sysctl is checked to keep it consistent with the systctl. The hook gets passed a 'type' argument which controls CPU, kernel and tracepoint accesses (in this context, CPU, kernel and tracepoint have the same semantics as the perf_event_paranoid sysctl). Additionally, I added an 'open' type which is similar to perf_event_paranoid sysctl == 3 patch carried in Android and several other distros but was rejected in mainline [1] in 2016. 2. perf_event_alloc: This allocates a new security object for the event which stores the current SID within the event. It will be useful when the perf event's FD is passed through IPC to another process which may try to read the FD. Appropriate security checks will limit access. 3. perf_event_free: Called when the event is closed. 4. perf_event_read: Called from the read(2) and mmap(2) syscalls for the event. 5. perf_event_write: Called from the ioctl(2) syscalls for the event. [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/696240/ Since Peter had suggest LSM hooks in 2016 [1], I am adding his Suggested-by tag below. To use this patch, we set the perf_event_paranoid sysctl to -1 and then apply selinux checking as appropriate (default deny everything, and then add policy rules to give access to domains that need it). In the future we can remove the perf_event_paranoid sysctl altogether.

perf: Allow normal events to output AUX data

2019-08-28T09:29:38Z

In some cases, ordinary (non-AUX) events can generate data for AUX events. For example, PEBS events can come out as records in the Intel PT stream instead of their usual DS records, if configured to do so. One requirement for such events is to consistently schedule together, to ensure that the data from the "AUX output" events isn't lost while their corresponding AUX event is not scheduled. We use grouping to provide this guarantee: an "AUX output" event can be added to a group where an AUX event is a group leader, and provided that the former supports writing to the latter.
