perf/core: Fix pmu::filter_match for SW-led groups

2016-07-07T06:57:57Z

The following commit: 66eb579e66ec ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering") added the pmu::filter_match() callback. This was intended to avoid HW constraints on events from resulting in extremely pessimistic scheduling. However, pmu::filter_match() is only called for the leader of each event group. When the leader is a SW event, we do not filter the groups, and may fail at pmu::add() time, and when this happens we'll give up on scheduling any event groups later in the list until they are rotated ahead of the failing group. This can result in extremely sub-optimal event scheduling behaviour, e.g. if running the following on a big.LITTLE platform: $ taskset -c 0 ./perf stat \ -e 'a57{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/}' \ -e 'a53{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/}' \ ls context-switches (0.00%) armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/ (0.00%) 24 context-switches (37.36%) 57589154 armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/ (37.36%) Here the 'a53' event group was always eligible to be scheduled, but the 'a57' group never eligible to be scheduled, as the task was always affine to a Cortex-A53 CPU. The SW (group leader) event in the 'a57' group was eligible, but the HW event failed at pmu::add() time, resulting in ctx_flexible_sched_in giving up on scheduling further groups with HW events. One way of avoiding this is to check pmu::filter_match() on siblings as well as the group leader. If any of these fail their pmu::filter_match() call, we must skip the entire group before attempting to add any events.

bpf, perf: delay release of BPF prog after grace period

2016-06-29T09:42:55Z

Commit dead9f29ddcc ("perf: Fix race in BPF program unregister") moved destruction of BPF program from free_event_rcu() callback to __free_event(), which is problematic if used with tail calls: if prog A is attached as trace event directly, but at the same time present in a tail call map used by another trace event program elsewhere, then we need to delay destruction via RCU grace period since it can still be in use by the program doing the tail call (the prog first needs to be dropped from the tail call map, then trace event with prog A attached destroyed, so we get immediate destruction).

perf/core: Remove a redundant check

2016-06-08T12:30:01Z

There is no way to end up in _free_event() with event::pmu being NULL. The latter is initialized in event allocation path and remains set forever. In case of allocation failure, the error path doesn't use _free_event(). Having the check, however, suggests that it is possible to have a event::pmu==NULL situation in _free_event() and confuses the robots. This patch gets rid of the check.

perf/core: Change the default paranoia level to 2

2016-05-10T00:57:12Z

Allowing unprivileged kernel profiling lets any user dump follow kernel control flow and dump kernel registers. This most likely allows trivial kASLR bypassing, and it may allow other mischief as well. (Off the top of my head, the PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR output during /dev/urandom reads could be quite interesting.) Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Acked-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

perf/arm: Special-case hetereogeneous CPUs

2016-05-05T08:13:59Z

Commit: 26657848502b7847 ("perf/core: Verify we have a single perf_hw_context PMU") forcefully prevents multiple PMUs from sharing perf_hw_context, as this generally doesn't make sense. It is a common bug for uncore PMUs to use perf_hw_context rather than perf_invalid_context, which this detects. However, systems exist with heterogeneous CPUs (and hence heterogeneous HW PMUs), for which sharing perf_hw_context is necessary, and possible in some limited cases. To make this work we have to perform some gymnastics, as we did in these commits: 66eb579e66ecfea5 ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering") c904e32a69b7c779 ("arm: perf: filter unschedulable events") To allow those systems to work, we must allow PMUs for heterogeneous CPUs to share perf_hw_context, though we must still disallow sharing otherwise to detect the common misuse of perf_hw_context. This patch adds a new PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS for this, updates the core logic to account for this, and makes use of it in the arm_pmu code that is used for systems with heterogeneous CPUs. Comments are added to make the rationale clear and hopefully avoid accidental abuse.
