perf/core: Fix creating kernel counters for PMUs that override event->cpu

2019-07-25T13:41:31Z

Some hardware PMU drivers will override perf_event.cpu inside their event_init callback. This causes a lockdep splat when initialized through the kernel API: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 250 at kernel/events/core.c:2917 ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208 pc : ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208 Call trace: ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208 __perf_install_in_context+0x160/0x248 remote_function+0x58/0x68 generic_exec_single+0x100/0x180 smp_call_function_single+0x174/0x1b8 perf_install_in_context+0x178/0x188 perf_event_create_kernel_counter+0x118/0x160 Fix this by calling perf_install_in_context with event->cpu, just like perf_event_open Signed-off-by: Leonard Crestez Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Reviewed-by: Mark Rutland Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Frank Li Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Will Deacon Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/c4ebe0503623066896d7046def4d6b1e06e0eb2e.1563972056.git.leonard.crestez@nxp.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf/core: Fix exclusive events' grouping

2019-07-13T09:21:28Z

So far, we tried to disallow grouping exclusive events for the fear of complications they would cause with moving between contexts. Specifically, moving a software group to a hardware context would violate the exclusivity rules if both groups contain matching exclusive events. This attempt was, however, unsuccessful: the check that we have in the perf_event_open() syscall is both wrong (looks at wrong PMU) and insufficient (group leader may still be exclusive), as can be illustrated by running: $ perf record -e '{intel_pt//,cycles}' uname $ perf record -e '{cycles,intel_pt//}' uname ultimately successfully. Furthermore, we are completely free to trigger the exclusivity violation by: perf -e '{cycles,intel_pt//}' -e '{intel_pt//,instructions}' even though the helpful perf record will not allow that, the ABI will. The warning later in the perf_event_open() path will also not trigger, because it's also wrong. Fix all this by validating the original group before moving, getting rid of broken safeguards and placing a useful one to perf_install_in_context().

perf/core: Fix race between close() and fork()

Syzcaller reported the following Use-after-Free bug: close() clone() copy_process() perf_event_init_task() perf_event_init_context() mutex_lock(parent_ctx->mutex) inherit_task_group() inherit_group() inherit_event() mutex_lock(event->child_mutex) // expose event on child list list_add_tail() mutex_unlock(event->child_mutex) mutex_unlock(parent_ctx->mutex) ... goto bad_fork_* bad_fork_cleanup_perf: perf_event_free_task() perf_release() perf_event_release_kernel() list_for_each_entry() mutex_lock(ctx->mutex) mutex_lock(event->child_mutex) // event is from the failing inherit // on the other CPU perf_remove_from_context() list_move() mutex_unlock(event->child_mutex) mutex_unlock(ctx->mutex) mutex_lock(ctx->mutex) list_for_each_entry_safe() // event already stolen mutex_unlock(ctx->mutex) delayed_free_task() free_task() list_for_each_entry_safe() list_del() free_event() _free_event() // and so event->hw.target // is the already freed failed clone() if (event->hw.target) put_task_struct(event->hw.target) // WHOOPSIE, already quite dead Which puts the lie to the the comment on perf_event_free_task(): 'unexposed, unused context' not so much. Which is a 'fun' confluence of fail; copy_process() doing an unconditional free_task() and not respecting refcounts, and perf having creative locking. In particular: 82d94856fa22 ("perf/core: Fix lock inversion between perf,trace,cpuhp") seems to have overlooked this 'fun' parade. Solve it by using the fact that detached events still have a reference count on their (previous) context. With this perf_event_free_task() can detect when events have escaped and wait for their destruction.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The timer and timekeeping departement delivers: Core: - The consolidation of the VDSO code into a generic library including the conversion of x86 and ARM64. Conversion of ARM and MIPS are en route through the relevant maintainer trees and should end up in 5.4. This gets rid of the unnecessary different copies of the same code and brings all architectures on the same level of VDSO functionality. - Make the NTP user space interface more robust by restricting the TAI offset to prevent undefined behaviour. Includes a selftest. - Validate user input in the compat settimeofday() syscall to catch invalid values which would be turned into valid values by a multiplication overflow - Consolidate the time accessors - Small fixes, improvements and cleanups all over the place Drivers: - Support for the NXP system counter, TI davinci timer - Move the Microsoft HyperV clocksource/events code into the drivers/clocksource directory so it can be shared between x86 and ARM64. - Overhaul of the Tegra driver - Delay timer support for IXP4xx - Small fixes, improvements and cleanups as usual" * 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (71 commits) time: Validate user input in compat_settimeofday() timer: Document TIMER_PINNED clocksource/drivers: Continue making Hyper-V clocksource ISA agnostic clocksource/drivers: Make Hyper-V clocksource ISA agnostic MAINTAINERS: Fix Andy's surname and the directory entries of VDSO hrtimer: Use a bullet for the returns bullet list arm64: vdso: Fix compilation with clang older than 8 arm64: compat: Fix __arch_get_hw_counter() implementation arm64: Fix __arch_get_hw_counter() implementation lib/vdso: Make delta calculation work correctly MAINTAINERS: Add entry for the generic VDSO library arm64: compat: No need for pre-ARMv7 barriers on an ARMv8 system arm64: vdso: Remove unnecessary asm-offsets.c definitions vdso: Remove superfluous #ifdef __KERNEL__ in vdso/datapage.h clocksource/drivers/davinci: Add support for clocksource clocksource/drivers/davinci: Add support for clockevents clocksource/drivers/tegra: Set up maximum-ticks limit properly clocksource/drivers/tegra: Cycles can't be 0 clocksource/drivers/tegra: Restore base address before cleanup clocksource/drivers/tegra: Add verbose definition for 1MHz constant ...

perf/cgroups: Don't rotate events for cgroups unnecessarily

2019-06-24T17:30:04Z

Currently perf_rotate_context assumes that if the context's nr_events != nr_active a rotation is necessary for perf event multiplexing. With cgroups, nr_events is the total count of events for all cgroups and nr_active will not include events in a cgroup other than the current task's. This makes rotation appear necessary for cgroups when it is not. Add a perf_event_context flag that is set when rotation is necessary. Clear the flag during sched_out and set it when a flexible sched_in fails due to resources.
