perf/core: Fix perf_event_disable_inatomic() race

2019-05-10T16:36:11Z

[ Upstream commit 1d54ad944074010609562da5c89e4f5df2f4e5db ] Thomas-Mich Richter reported he triggered a WARN()ing from event_function_local() on his s390. The problem boils down to: CPU-A CPU-B perf_event_overflow() perf_event_disable_inatomic() @pending_disable = 1 irq_work_queue(); sched-out event_sched_out() @pending_disable = 0 sched-in perf_event_overflow() perf_event_disable_inatomic() @pending_disable = 1; irq_work_queue(); // FAILS irq_work_run() perf_pending_event() if (@pending_disable) perf_event_disable_local(); // WHOOPS The problem exists in generic, but s390 is particularly sensitive because it doesn't implement arch_irq_work_raise(), nor does it call irq_work_run() from it's PMU interrupt handler (nor would that be sufficient in this case, because s390 also generates perf_event_overflow() from pmu::stop). Add to that the fact that s390 is a virtual architecture and (virtual) CPU-A can stall long enough for the above race to happen, even if it would self-IPI. Adding a irq_work_sync() to event_sched_in() would work for all hardare PMUs that properly use irq_work_run() but fails for software PMUs. Instead encode the CPU number in @pending_disable, such that we can tell which CPU requested the disable. This then allows us to detect the above scenario and even redirect the IPI to make up for the failed queue.

perf/ring_buffer: Fix AUX record suppression

2019-04-27T07:37:45Z

commit 339bc4183596e1f68c2c98a03b87aa124107c317 upstream. The following commit: 1627314fb54a33e ("perf: Suppress AUX/OVERWRITE records") has an unintended side-effect of also suppressing all AUX records with no flags and non-zero size, so all the regular records in the full trace mode. This breaks some use cases for people. Fix this by restoring "regular" AUX records.

perf/core: Restore mmap record type correctly

2019-04-20T07:16:45Z

[ Upstream commit d9c1bb2f6a2157b38e8eb63af437cb22701d31ee ] On mmap(), perf_events generates a RECORD_MMAP record and then checks which events are interested in this record. There are currently 2 versions of mmap records: RECORD_MMAP and RECORD_MMAP2. MMAP2 is larger. The event configuration controls which version the user level tool accepts. If the event->attr.mmap2=1 field then MMAP2 record is returned. The perf_event_mmap_output() takes care of this. It checks attr->mmap2 and corrects the record fields before putting it in the sampling buffer of the event. At the end the function restores the modified MMAP record fields. The problem is that the function restores the size but not the type. Thus, if a subsequent event only accepts MMAP type, then it would instead receive an MMAP2 record with a size of MMAP record. This patch fixes the problem by restoring the record type on exit.

perf/aux: Make perf_event accessible to setup_aux()

2019-04-05T20:34:42Z

[ Upstream commit 840018668ce2d96783356204ff282d6c9b0e5f66 ] When pmu::setup_aux() is called the coresight PMU needs to know which sink to use for the session by looking up the information in the event's attr::config2 field. As such simply replace the cpu information by the complete perf_event structure and change all affected customers.

perf/core: Fix impossible ring-buffer sizes warning

2019-02-13T07:05:02Z

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/x86: Add check_period PMU callback

Following sequence will cause the crash: If we create an 'almost' BTS event with precise_ip and callchains, and it into a BTS event it will crash the perf_prepare_sample() function because precise_ip events are expected to come in with callchain data initialized, but that's not the case for intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() caller. Adding a check_period callback to be called before the period is changed via PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD. It will deny the change if the event would become BTS. Plus adding also the limit_period check as well.

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

2019-02-04T07:45:25Z

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 core: Fix perf_proc_update_handler() bug

2019-01-18T14:10:38Z

The perf_proc_update_handler() handles /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate syctl variable. When the PMU IRQ handler timing monitoring is disabled, i.e, when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent is equal to 0 or 100, then no modification to sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate is allowed to prevent possible hang from wrong values. The problem is that the test to prevent modification is made after the sysctl variable is modified in perf_proc_update_handler(). You get an error: $ echo 10001 >/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate echo: write error: invalid argument But the value is still modified causing all sorts of inconsistencies: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 10001 This patch fixes the problem by moving the parsing of the value after the test.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57Z

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
