perf/ring-buffer: Always use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() for rb->user_page data

2019-06-22T06:16:16Z

[ Upstream commit 4d839dd9e4356bbacf3eb0ab13a549b83b008c21 ] We must use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() on rb->user_page data such that concurrent usage will see whole values. A few key sites were missing this.

perf/ring_buffer: Add ordering to rb->nest increment

2019-06-22T06:16:16Z

[ Upstream commit 3f9fbe9bd86c534eba2faf5d840fd44c6049f50e ] Similar to how decrementing rb->next too early can cause data_head to (temporarily) be observed to go backward, so too can this happen when we increment too late. This barrier() ensures the rb->head load happens after the increment, both the one in the 'goto again' path, as the one from perf_output_get_handle() -- albeit very unlikely to matter for the latter.

perf/ring_buffer: Fix exposing a temporarily decreased data_head

2019-06-22T06:16:16Z

[ Upstream commit 1b038c6e05ff70a1e66e3e571c2e6106bdb75f53 ] In perf_output_put_handle(), an IRQ/NMI can happen in below location and write records to the same ring buffer: ... local_dec_and_test(&rb->nest) ... <-- an IRQ/NMI can happen here rb->user_page->data_head = head; ... In this case, a value A is written to data_head in the IRQ, then a value B is written to data_head after the IRQ. And A > B. As a result, data_head is temporarily decreased from A to B. And a reader may see data_head < data_tail if it read the buffer frequently enough, which creates unexpected behaviors. This can be fixed by moving dec(&rb->nest) to after updating data_head, which prevents the IRQ/NMI above from updating data_head.

perf/core: Fix impossible ring-buffer sizes warning

2019-02-20T09:20:51Z

commit 528871b456026e6127d95b1b2bd8e3a003dc1614 upstream. The following commit: 9dff0aa95a32 ("perf/core: Don't WARN() for impossible ring-buffer sizes") results in perf recording failures with larger mmap areas: root@skl:/tmp# perf record -g -a failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory) The root cause is that the following condition is buggy: if (order_base_2(size) >= MAX_ORDER) goto fail; The problem is that @size is in bytes and MAX_ORDER is in pages, so the right test is: if (order_base_2(size) >= PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER) goto fail; Fix it.

perf/core: Don't WARN() for impossible ring-buffer sizes

2019-02-12T18:46:13Z

commit 9dff0aa95a324e262ffb03f425d00e4751f3294e upstream. The perf tool uses /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb to determine how large its ringbuffer mmap should be. This can be configured to arbitrary values, which can be larger than the maximum possible allocation from kmalloc. When this is configured to a suitably large value (e.g. thanks to the perf fuzzer), attempting to use perf record triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() in __alloc_pages_nodemask(): WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 5666 at mm/page_alloc.c:4511 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x3f8/0xbc8 Let's avoid this by checking that the requested allocation is possible before calling kzalloc.

perf/aux: Only update ->aux_wakeup in non-overwrite mode

2017-09-29T08:06:45Z

The following commit: d9a50b0256 ("perf/aux: Ensure aux_wakeup represents most recent wakeup index") changed the AUX wakeup position calculation to rounddown(), which causes a division-by-zero in AUX overwrite mode (aka "snapshot mode"). The zero denominator results from the fact that perf record doesn't set aux_watermark to anything, in which case the kernel will set it to half the AUX buffer size, but only for non-overwrite mode. In the overwrite mode aux_watermark stays zero. The good news is that, AUX overwrite mode, wakeups don't happen and related bookkeeping is not relevant, so we can simply forego the whole wakeup updates.

perf/aux: Ensure aux_wakeup represents most recent wakeup index

2017-08-25T09:04:16Z

The aux_watermark member of struct ring_buffer represents the period (in terms of bytes) at which wakeup events should be generated when data is written to the aux buffer in non-snapshot mode. On hardware that cannot generate an interrupt when the aux_head reaches an arbitrary wakeup index (such as ARM SPE), the aux_head sampled from handle->head in perf_aux_output_{skip,end} may in fact be past the wakeup index. This can lead to wakeup slowly falling behind the head. For example, consider the case where hardware can only generate an interrupt on a page-boundary and the aux buffer is initialised as follows: // Buffer size is 2 * PAGE_SIZE rb->aux_head = rb->aux_wakeup = 0 rb->aux_watermark = PAGE_SIZE / 2 following the first perf_aux_output_begin call, the handle is initialised with: handle->head = 0 handle->size = 2 * PAGE_SIZE handle->wakeup = PAGE_SIZE / 2 and the hardware will be programmed to generate an interrupt at PAGE_SIZE. When the interrupt is raised, the hardware head will be at PAGE_SIZE, so calling perf_aux_output_end(handle, PAGE_SIZE) puts the ring buffer into the following state: rb->aux_head = PAGE_SIZE rb->aux_wakeup = PAGE_SIZE / 2 rb->aux_watermark = PAGE_SIZE / 2 and then the next call to perf_aux_output_begin will result in: handle->head = handle->wakeup = PAGE_SIZE for which the semantics are unclear and, for a smaller aux_watermark (e.g. PAGE_SIZE / 4), then the wakeup would in fact be behind head at this point. This patch fixes the problem by rounding down the aux_head (as sampled from the handle) to the nearest aux_watermark boundary when updating rb->aux_wakeup, therefore taking into account any overruns by the hardware.

perf/aux: Make aux_{head,wakeup} ring_buffer members long

2017-08-25T09:04:15Z

The aux_head and aux_wakeup members of struct ring_buffer are defined using the local_t type, despite the fact that they are only accessed via the perf_aux_output_*() functions, which cannot race with each other for a given ring buffer. This patch changes the type of the members to long, so we can avoid using the local_*() API where it isn't needed.

perf/aux: Correct return code of rb_alloc_aux() if !has_aux(ev)

2017-06-21T09:58:30Z

If the event for which an AUX area is about to be allocated, does not support setting up an AUX area, rb_alloc_aux() return -ENOTSUPP. This error condition is being returned unfiltered to the user space, and, for example, the perf tools fails with: failed to mmap with 524 (INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(524, 0x3fff497a1c8, 512)=22) This error can be easily seen with "perf record -m 128,256 -e cpu-clock". The 524 error code maps to -ENOTSUPP (in rb_alloc_aux()). The -ENOTSUPP error code shall be only used within the kernel. So the correct error code would then be -EOPNOTSUPP. With this commit, the perf tool then reports: failed to mmap with 95 (Operation not supported) which is more clear.
