<id>urn:sha1:1d1bfe30dad50d4bea83cd38d73c441972ea0173</id>
<content type='text'>
data-&gt;sample_flags may be modified in perf_prepare_sample(),
in perf_tp_event(), different swevents use the same on-stack
perf_sample_data, the previous swevent may change sample_flags in
perf_prepare_sample(), as a result, some members of perf_sample_data are
not correctly initialized when next swevent_event preparing sample
(for example data-&gt;id, the value varies according to swevent).

A simple scenario triggers this problem is as follows:

  # perf record -e sched:sched_switch --switch-output-event sched:sched_switch -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 0 times ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2023041209014396 ]
  [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 0 times ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2023041209014662 ]
  [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 0 times ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2023041209014910 ]
  [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2023041209015164 ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.069 MB perf.data.&lt;timestamp&gt; ]
  # ls -l
  total 860
  -rw------- 1 root root  95694 Apr 12 09:01 perf.data.2023041209014396
  -rw------- 1 root root 606430 Apr 12 09:01 perf.data.2023041209014662

  -rw------- 1 root root  82342 Apr 12 09:01 perf.data.2023041209015164
  # perf script -i perf.data.2023041209014396
  0x11d58 [0x80]: failed to process type: 9 [Bad address]

Solution: Re-initialize perf_sample_data after each event is processed.
Note that data-&gt;raw-&gt;frag.data may be accessed in perf_tp_event_match().
Therefore, need to init sample_data and then go through swevent hlist to prevent
reference of NULL pointer, reported by [1].

After fix:

  # perf record -e sched:sched_switch --switch-output-event sched:sched_switch -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 0 times ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2023041209442259 ]

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:

   - Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement

   - Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules

   - My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
     module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
     proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.

  Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
  the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior
  to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective
  debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the
  functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
  reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
  issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
  kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to
  have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will
  want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.

  Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details:

  The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
  patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a
  new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put
  together all types of supported module memory types in one data
  structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a
  module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This
  paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way.
  If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we
  handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been
  in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to
  provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as
  quite a bit of fixes have been found for it.

  Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user
  by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module
  specific dynamic debug information.

  Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
  license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
  so to:

   a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
      deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
      part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
      clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
      Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
      kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&amp;D on this area is
      active with no clear solution in sight.

   b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
      of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags

  In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
  for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
  modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
  8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
  Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf").

  Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only
  one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The
  complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a
  possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object
  being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it
  being part of a module, and if so define a new define
  -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0].

  A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to
  have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as
  well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules
  always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of
  Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh
  Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would
  benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for
  other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were
  mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped
  with no clear solution in sight [1].

  In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could
  never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
  developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
  when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and
  so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for
  this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has
  good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical
  cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker
  issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE()
  tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be
  modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do
  this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not
  understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative /
  guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which
  dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing,
  it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a
  file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use:

    ./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
	$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)

  You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but
  that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
  license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it
  demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.

  Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I
  just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those
  changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.

  The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
  were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a
  systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out
  of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists
  of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already
  present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the
  modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.

  The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in
  linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix
  for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
  week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
  window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with
  larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a
  bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
  proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
  of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge
  them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
  instead"

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).

are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.

So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.

MAX_ORDER currently defined as number of orders page allocator supports:
user can ask buddy allocator for page order between 0 and MAX_ORDER-1.

This definition is counter-intuitive and lead to number of bugs all over
the kernel.

Change the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive: the range of orders
user can ask from buddy allocator is 0..MAX_ORDER now.

MAX_ORDER is not inclusive: the maximum allocation order buddy allocator
can deliver is MAX_ORDER-1.

Fix MAX_ORDER usage in rb_alloc_aux_page().

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

<id>urn:sha1:24d3ae2f37d8bc3c14b31d353c5d27baf582b6a6</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Thomas reported that offlining CPUs spends a lot of time in
synchronize_rcu() as called from perf_pmu_migrate_context() even though
he's not actually using uncore events.

Turns out, the thing is unconditionally waiting for RCU, even if there's
no actual events to migrate.
