perf: Fix inherited events vs. tracepoint filters

2015-11-27T12:48:23Z

commit b71b437eedaed985062492565d9d421d975ae845 upstream. Arnaldo reported that tracepoint filters seem to misbehave (ie. not apply) on inherited events. The fix is obvious; filters are only set on the actual (parent) event, use the normal pattern of using this parent event for filters. This is safe because each child event has a reference to it.

perf: Fix fasync handling on inherited events

2015-10-13T02:46:02Z

commit fed66e2cdd4f127a43fd11b8d92a99bdd429528c upstream. Vince reported that the fasync signal stuff doesn't work proper for inherited events. So fix that. Installing fasync allocates memory and sets filp->f_flags |= FASYNC, which upon the demise of the file descriptor ensures the allocation is freed and state is updated. Now for perf, we can have the events stick around for a while after the original FD is dead because of references from child events. So we cannot copy the fasync pointer around. We can however consistently use the parent's fasync, as that will be updated.

perf: Fix irq_work 'tail' recursion

2015-05-09T22:16:31Z

commit d525211f9d1be8b523ec7633f080f2116f5ea536 upstream. Vince reported a watchdog lockup like: [] perf_tp_event+0xc4/0x210 [] perf_trace_lock+0x12a/0x160 [] lock_release+0x130/0x260 [] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x24/0x40 [] do_send_sig_info+0x5d/0x80 [] send_sigio_to_task+0x12f/0x1a0 [] send_sigio+0xae/0x100 [] kill_fasync+0x97/0xf0 [] perf_event_wakeup+0xd4/0xf0 [] perf_pending_event+0x33/0x60 [] irq_work_run_list+0x4c/0x80 [] irq_work_run+0x18/0x40 [] smp_trace_irq_work_interrupt+0x3f/0xc0 [] trace_irq_work_interrupt+0x6d/0x80 Which is caused by an irq_work generating new irq_work and therefore not allowing forward progress. This happens because processing the perf irq_work triggers another perf event (tracepoint stuff) which in turn generates an irq_work ad infinitum. Avoid this by raising the recursion counter in the irq_work -- which effectively disables all software events (including tracepoints) from actually triggering again.

perf: Handle compat ioctl

2014-12-14T16:24:01Z

commit b3f207855f57b9c8f43a547a801340bb5cbc59e5 upstream. When running a 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel (eg. i386 application on x86_64 kernel or 32-bit arm userspace on arm64 kernel) some of the perf ioctls must be treated with special care, as they have a pointer size encoded in the command. For example, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID in 32-bit world will be encoded as 0x80042407, but 64-bit kernel will expect 0x80082407. In result the ioctl will fail returning -ENOTTY. This patch solves the problem by adding code fixing up the size as compat_ioctl file operation.

perf: fix perf bug in fork()

2014-11-05T20:27:46Z

commit 6c72e3501d0d62fc064d3680e5234f3463ec5a86 upstream. Oleg noticed that a cleanup by Sylvain actually uncovered a bug; by calling perf_event_free_task() when failing sched_fork() we will not yet have done the memset() on ->perf_event_ctxp[] and will therefore try and 'free' the inherited contexts, which are still in use by the parent process. This is bad..

perf: Fix a race condition in perf_remove_from_context()

2014-11-05T20:27:41Z

commit 3577af70a2ce4853d58e57d832e687d739281479 upstream. We saw a kernel soft lockup in perf_remove_from_context(), it looks like the `perf` process, when exiting, could not go out of the retry loop. Meanwhile, the target process was forking a child. So either the target process should execute the smp function call to deactive the event (if it was running) or it should do a context switch which deactives the event. It seems we optimize out a context switch in perf_event_context_sched_out(), and what's more important, we still test an obsolete task pointer when retrying, so no one actually would deactive that event in this situation. Fix it directly by reloading the task pointer in perf_remove_from_context(). This should cure the above soft lockup.

perf: Fix race in removing an event

2014-07-11T12:33:56Z

commit 46ce0fe97a6be7532ce6126bb26ce89fed81528c upstream. When removing a (sibling) event we do: raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); perf_group_detach(event); raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); perf_remove_from_context(event); raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); ... raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling. So, if during we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the PMU. The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all other lists. Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed! Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has. The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups too and we're tearing down just the same. But leave that for another patch.

perf: Prevent false warning in perf_swevent_add

2014-06-09T12:29:13Z

commit 39af6b1678afa5880dda7e375cf3f9d395087f6d upstream. The perf cpu offline callback takes down all cpu context events and releases swhash->swevent_hlist. This could race with task context software event being just scheduled on this cpu via perf_swevent_add while cpu hotplug code already cleaned up event's data. The race happens in the gap between the cpu notifier code and the cpu being actually taken down. Note that only cpu ctx events are terminated in the perf cpu hotplug code. It's easily reproduced with: $ perf record -e faults perf bench sched pipe while putting one of the cpus offline: # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online Console emits following warning: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2845 at kernel/events/core.c:5672 perf_swevent_add+0x18d/0x1a0() Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 2845 Comm: sched-pipe Tainted: G W 3.14.0+ #256 Hardware name: Intel Corporation Montevina platform/To be filled by O.E.M., BIOS AMVACRB1.86C.0066.B00.0805070703 05/07/2008 0000000000000009 ffff880077233ab8 ffffffff81665a23 0000000000200005 0000000000000000 ffff880077233af8 ffffffff8104732c 0000000000000046 ffff88007467c800 0000000000000002 ffff88007a9cf2a0 0000000000000001 Call Trace: [] dump_stack+0x4f/0x7c [] warn_slowpath_common+0x8c/0xc0 [] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [] perf_swevent_add+0x18d/0x1a0 [] event_sched_in.isra.75+0x9e/0x1f0 [] group_sched_in+0x6a/0x1f0 [] ? sched_clock_local+0x25/0xa0 [] ctx_sched_in+0x1f6/0x450 [] perf_event_sched_in+0x6b/0xa0 [] perf_event_context_sched_in+0x7b/0xc0 [] __perf_event_task_sched_in+0x43e/0x460 [] ? put_lock_stats.isra.18+0xe/0x30 [] finish_task_switch+0xb8/0x100 [] __schedule+0x30e/0xad0 [] ? pipe_read+0x3e2/0x560 [] ? preempt_schedule_irq+0x3e/0x70 [] ? preempt_schedule_irq+0x3e/0x70 [] preempt_schedule_irq+0x44/0x70 [] retint_kernel+0x20/0x30 [] ? lockdep_sys_exit+0x1a/0x90 [] lockdep_sys_exit_thunk+0x35/0x67 [] ? sysret_check+0x5/0x56 Fixing this by tracking the cpu hotplug state and displaying the WARN only if current cpu is initialized properly.

perf: Limit perf_event_attr::sample_period to 63 bits

2014-06-09T12:29:13Z

commit 0819b2e30ccb93edf04876237b6205eef84ec8d2 upstream. Vince reported that using a large sample_period (one with bit 63 set) results in wreckage since while the sample_period is fundamentally unsigned (negative periods don't make sense) the way we implement things very much rely on signed logic. So limit sample_period to 63 bits to avoid tripping over this.

perf: Fix hotplug splat

2014-04-01T23:58:56Z

commit e3703f8cdfcf39c25c4338c3ad8e68891cca3731 upstream. Drew Richardson reported that he could make the kernel go *boom* when hotplugging while having perf events active. It turned out that when you have a group event, the code in __perf_event_exit_context() fails to remove the group siblings from the context. We then proceed with destroying and freeing the event, and when you re-plug the CPU and try and add another event to that CPU, things go *boom* because you've still got dead entries there.
