perf core: Fix perf_proc_update_handler() bug

2019-03-13T21:04:00Z

[ Upstream commit 1a51c5da5acc6c188c917ba572eebac5f8793432 ] 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. Committer testing: # echo 100 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent # echo 10001 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 10001 # Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen Reviewed-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1547169436-6266-1-git-send-email-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

perf/x86: Add check_period PMU callback

2019-02-20T09:29:10Z

commit 81ec3f3c4c4d78f2d3b6689c9816bfbdf7417dbb upstream. Vince (and later on Ravi) reported crashes in the BTS code during fuzzing with the following backtrace: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI ... RIP: 0010:perf_prepare_sample+0x8f/0x510 ...

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.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "The biggest change here is the updates to kprobes Back in January I posted patches to create function based events. These were the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to easily create events in code where no trace event exists. After posting those changes for review, it was suggested that we implement this instead with kprobes. The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and needs to be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and I've been playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in the kprobe code that was inspired by the function based event patches, and a couple of enhancements to the kprobe event interface. - If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to know what register or where on the stack the argument was). - The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you reference a mac address, you can add: echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' > kprobe_events And this will produce: mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec} Other changes include - Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules - Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove tracing itself, as we keep removing too much). - Added support for SDT in uprobes" [ SDT - "Statically Defined Tracing" are userspace markers for tracing.

trace_uprobe: support reference counter in fd-based uprobe

2018-10-11T02:14:17Z

This patch enables uprobes with reference counter in fd-based uprobe. Highest 32 bits of perf_event_attr.config is used to stored offset of the reference count (semaphore).

perf/ring_buffer: Prevent concurent ring buffer access

2018-10-02T07:37:59Z

Some of the scheduling tracepoints allow the perf_tp_event code to write to ring buffer under different cpu than the code is running on. This results in corrupted ring buffer data demonstrated in following perf commands: # perf record -e 'sched:sched_switch,sched:sched_wakeup' perf bench sched messaging # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark: # 20 sender and receiver processes per group # 10 groups == 400 processes run Total time: 0.383 [sec] [ perf record: Woken up 8 times to write data ] 0x42b890 [0]: failed to process type: -1765585640 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.825 MB perf.data (29669 samples) ] # perf report --stdio 0x42b890 [0]: failed to process type: -1765585640 The reason for the corruption are some of the scheduling tracepoints, that have __perf_task dfined and thus allow to store data to another cpu ring buffer: sched_waking sched_wakeup sched_wakeup_new sched_stat_wait sched_stat_sleep sched_stat_iowait sched_stat_blocked The perf_tp_event function first store samples for current cpu related events defined for tracepoint: hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(event, head, hlist_entry) perf_swevent_event(event, count, &data, regs); And then iterates events of the 'task' and store the sample for any task's event that passes tracepoint checks: ctx = rcu_dereference(task->perf_event_ctxp[perf_sw_context]); list_for_each_entry_rcu(event, &ctx->event_list, event_entry) { if (event->attr.type != PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT) continue; if (event->attr.config != entry->type) continue; perf_swevent_event(event, count, &data, regs); } Above code can race with same code running on another cpu, ending up with 2 cpus trying to store under the same ring buffer, which is specifically not allowed. This patch prevents the problem, by allowing only events with the same current cpu to receive the event. NOTE: this requires the use of (per-task-)per-cpu buffers for this feature to work; perf-record does this.

perf/core: Add sanity check to deal with pinned event failure

2018-09-28T20:44:53Z

It is possible that a failure can occur during the scheduling of a pinned event. The initial portion of perf_event_read_local() contains the various error checks an event should pass before it can be considered valid. Ensure that the potential scheduling failure of a pinned event is checked for and have a credible error.

perf/core: Force USER_DS when recording user stack data

2018-09-10T12:01:46Z

Perf can record user stack data in response to a synchronous request, such as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), then we end up reading user stack data using __copy_from_user_inatomic() under set_fs(KERNEL_DS). I think this conflicts with the intention of using set_fs(KERNEL_DS). And it is explicitly forbidden by hardware on ARM64 when both CONFIG_ARM64_UAO and CONFIG_ARM64_PAN are used. So fix this by forcing USER_DS when recording user stack data.
