commit 1af6239d1d3e61d33fd2f0ba53d3d1a67cc50574 upstream.

With the advent of CFI it is no longer acceptible to cast function
pointers.

The robot complains thusly:

  kernel-events-core.c:warning:cast-from-int-(-)(struct-perf_cpu_pmu_context-)-to-remote_function_f-(aka-int-(-)(void-)-)-converts-to-incompatible-function-type

[ Upstream commit 15def34e2635ab7e0e96f1bc32e1b69609f14942 ]

commit e050e3f0a71bf ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")
introduces a change in throttling threshold judgment. Before this,
compare hwc-&gt;interrupts and max_samples_per_tick, then increase
hwc-&gt;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-&gt;interrupts ==
max_samples_per_tick, it should not be throttled, therefore, the judgment
condition should be changed to "hwc-&gt;interrupts &gt; 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).

<title>perf/core: Fix the same task check in perf_event_set_output</title>

<id>urn:sha1:023036e38923240350e8ddaca46c62f3d1579176</id>
<content type='text'>
[ 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-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;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.

[ Upstream commit baf1b12a67f5b24f395baca03e442ce27cab0c18 ]

Time readers rely on perf_event_context-&gt;[time|timestamp|timeoffset] to get
accurate time_enabled and time_running for an event. The difference between
ctx-&gt;timestamp and ctx-&gt;time is the among of time when the context is not
enabled. __update_context_time(ctx, false) is used to increase timestamp,
but not time. Therefore, it should only be called in ctx_sched_in() when
EVENT_TIME was not enabled.

commit 267fb27352b6 ("perf: Reduce stack usage of perf_output_begin()")
use on-stack struct perf_sample_data of the caller function.

However, perf_event_bpf_output uses incorrect parameter to convert
small-sized data (struct perf_bpf_event) into large-sized data
(struct perf_sample_data), which causes memory overwriting occurs in
__perf_event_header__init_id.

commit fd0815f632c24878e325821943edccc7fde947a2 upstream.

Events should only be added to a groups rb tree if they have not been
removed from their context by list_del_event(). Since remove_on_exec
made it possible to call list_del_event() on individual events before
they are detached from their group, perf_group_detach() should check each
sibling's attach_state before calling add_event_to_groups() on it.

In pmu_dev_alloc(), when dev_set_name() failed, it will goto free_dev
and call put_device(pmu-&gt;dev) to release it.
However pmu-&gt;dev-&gt;release is assigned after this, which makes warning
and memleak.
Call dev_set_name() after pmu-&gt;dev-&gt;release = pmu_dev_release to fix it.
