perf: Fix perf_event_validate_size() lockdep splat

2023-12-20T14:38:03Z

commit 7e2c1e4b34f07d9aa8937fab88359d4a0fce468e upstream. When lockdep is enabled, the for_each_sibling_event(sibling, event) macro checks that event->ctx->mutex is held. When creating a new group leader event, we call perf_event_validate_size() on a partially initialized event where event->ctx is NULL, and so when for_each_sibling_event() attempts to check event->ctx->mutex, we get a splat, as reported by Lucas De Marchi: WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 1471 at kernel/events/core.c:1950 __do_sys_perf_event_open+0xf37/0x1080 This only happens for a new event which is its own group_leader, and in this case there cannot be any sibling events. Thus it's safe to skip the check for siblings, which avoids having to make invasive and ugly changes to for_each_sibling_event(). Avoid the splat by bailing out early when the new event is its own group_leader.

2023-12-13T16:42:19Z

[ Upstream commit 382c27f4ed28f803b1f1473ac2d8db0afc795a1b ] Budimir noted that perf_event_validate_size() only checks the size of the newly added event, even though the sizes of all existing events can also change due to not all events having the same read_format. When we attach the new event, perf_group_attach(), we do re-compute the size for all events.

perf/core: Add a new read format to get a number of lost samples

2023-12-13T16:42:19Z

[ Upstream commit 119a784c81270eb88e573174ed2209225d646656 ] Sometimes we want to know an accurate number of samples even if it's lost. Currenlty PERF_RECORD_LOST is generated for a ring-buffer which might be shared with other events. So it's hard to know per-event lost count. Add event->lost_samples field and PERF_FORMAT_LOST to retrieve it from userspace.

perf: Disallow mis-matched inherited group reads

2023-10-25T09:17:02Z

commit 32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06 upstream. Because group consistency is non-atomic between parent (filedesc) and children (inherited) events, it is possible for PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read() to try and sum non-matching counter groups -- with non-sensical results. Add group_generation to distinguish the case where a parent group removes and adds an event and thus has the same number, but a different configuration of events as inherited groups. This became a problem when commit fa8c269353d5 ("perf/core: Invert perf_read_group() loops") flipped the order of child_list and sibling_list. Previously it would iterate the group (sibling_list) first, and for each sibling traverse the child_list. In this order, only the group composition of the parent is relevant. By flipping the order the group composition of the child (inherited) events becomes an issue and the mis-match in group composition becomes evident. That said; even prior to this commit, while reading of a group that is not equally inherited was not broken, it still made no sense. (Ab)use ECHILD as error return to indicate issues with child process group composition.

treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage

2023-08-11T09:45:01Z

commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream. Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1] (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining needless uses with the following script: git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \ xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/\buninitialized_var$([^$]+)\)/\1/g; s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;' drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid pathological white-space.

perf/core: Fix hardlockup failure caused by perf throttle

2023-05-17T09:13:18Z

[ Upstream commit 15def34e2635ab7e0e96f1bc32e1b69609f14942 ] commit e050e3f0a71bf ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling") introduces a change in throttling threshold judgment. Before this, compare hwc->interrupts and max_samples_per_tick, then increase hwc->interrupts by 1, but this commit reverses order of these two behaviors, causing the semantics of max_samples_per_tick to change. In literal sense of "max_samples_per_tick", if hwc->interrupts == max_samples_per_tick, it should not be throttled, therefore, the judgment condition should be changed to "hwc->interrupts > max_samples_per_tick". In fact, this may cause the hardlockup to fail, The minimum value of max_samples_per_tick may be 1, in this case, the return value of __perf_event_account_interrupt function is 1. As a result, nmi_watchdog gets throttled, which would stop PMU (Use x86 architecture as an example, see x86_pmu_handle_irq).

perf/core: Fix the same task check in perf_event_set_output

2023-04-20T10:04:39Z

[ Upstream commit 24d3ae2f37d8bc3c14b31d353c5d27baf582b6a6 ] The same task check in perf_event_set_output has some potential issues for some usages. For the current perf code, there is a problem if using of perf_event_open() to have multiple samples getting into the same mmap’d memory when they are both attached to the same process. https://lore.kernel.org/all/92645262-D319-4068-9C44-2409EF44888E@gmail.com/ Because the event->ctx is not ready when the perf_event_set_output() is invoked in the perf_event_open(). Besides the above issue, before the commit bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling"), perf record can errors out when sampling with a hardware event and a software event as below. $ perf record -e cycles,dummy --per-thread ls failed to mmap with 22 (Invalid argument) That's because that prior to the commit a hardware event and a software event are from different task context. The problem should be a long time issue since commit c3f00c70276d ("perk: Separate find_get_context() from event initialization"). The task struct is stored in the event->hw.target for each per-thread event. It is a more reliable way to determine whether two events are attached to the same task. The event->hw.target was also introduced several years ago by the commit 50f16a8bf9d7 ("perf: Remove type specific target pointers"). It can not only be used to fix the issue with the current code, but also back port to fix the issues with an older kernel. Note: The event->hw.target was introduced later than commit c3f00c70276d. The patch may cannot be applied between the commit c3f00c70276d and commit 50f16a8bf9d7. Anybody that wants to back-port this at that period may have to find other solutions.
