perf/core: Fix missing static inline on perf_cgroup_switch()

2019-11-13T07:16:44Z

It looks like a "static inline" has been missed in front of the empty definition of perf_cgroup_switch() under certain configurations. Fixes the following sparse warning: kernel/events/core.c:1035:1: warning: symbol 'perf_cgroup_switch' was not declared. Should it be static?

perf/core: Consistently fail fork on allocation failures

2019-11-13T07:16:43Z

Commit: 313ccb9615948 ("perf: Allocate context task_ctx_data for child event") makes the inherit path skip over the current event in case of task_ctx_data allocation failure. This, however, is inconsistent with allocation failures in perf_event_alloc(), which would abort the fork. Correct this by returning an error code on task_ctx_data allocation failure and failing the fork in that case.

perf/aux: Disallow aux_output for kernel events

2019-11-13T07:16:42Z

Commit ab43762ef0109 ("perf: Allow normal events to output AUX data") added 'aux_output' bit to the attribute structure, which relies on AUX events and grouping, neither of which is supported for the kernel events. This notwithstanding, attempts have been made to use it in the kernel code, suggesting the necessity of an explicit hard -EINVAL. Fix this by rejecting attributes with aux_output set for kernel events.

perf/core: Disallow uncore-cgroup events

2019-11-13T07:16:39Z

While discussing uncore event scheduling, I noticed we do not in fact seem to dis-allow making uncore-cgroup events. Such events make no sense what so ever because the cgroup is a CPU local state where uncore counts across a number of CPUs. Disallow them.

perf/aux: Fix AUX output stopping

2019-10-22T12:39:37Z

Commit: 8a58ddae2379 ("perf/core: Fix exclusive events' grouping") allows CAP_EXCLUSIVE events to be grouped with other events. Since all of those also happen to be AUX events (which is not the case the other way around, because arch/s390), this changes the rules for stopping the output: the AUX event may not be on its PMU's context any more, if it's grouped with a HW event, in which case it will be on that HW event's context instead. If that's the case, munmap() of the AUX buffer can't find and stop the AUX event, potentially leaving the last reference with the atomic context, which will then end up freeing the AUX buffer. This will then trip warnings: Fix this by using the context's PMU context when looking for events to stop, instead of the event's PMU context.

perf/aux: Fix tracking of auxiliary trace buffer allocation

Note: There is no issue using the normal trace buffer. In fact the issue is in perf_mmap_close(). During allocation auxiliary trace buffer memory is either traced as 'extra' and added to 'pinned_vm' or trace as 'user_extra' and added to 'locked_vm'. This applies for normal trace buffers and auxiliary trace buffer. However in function perf_mmap_close() all auxiliary trace buffer is subtraced from 'locked_vm' and never from 'pinned_vm'. This breaks the ballance.

perf/core: Fix corner case in perf_rotate_context()

2019-10-09T10:44:13Z

In perf_rotate_context(), when the first cpu flexible event fail to schedule, cpu_rotate is 1, while cpu_event is NULL. Since cpu_event is NULL, perf_rotate_context will _NOT_ call cpu_ctx_sched_out(), thus cpuctx->ctx.is_active will have EVENT_FLEXIBLE set. Then, the next perf_event_sched_in() will skip all cpu flexible events because of the EVENT_FLEXIBLE bit. In the next call of perf_rotate_context(), cpu_rotate stays 1, and cpu_event stays NULL, so this process repeats. The end result is, flexible events on this cpu will not be scheduled (until another event being added to the cpuctx). Here is an easy repro of this issue. On Intel CPUs, where ref-cycles could only use one counter, run one pinned event for ref-cycles, one flexible event for ref-cycles, and one flexible event for cycles. The flexible ref-cycles is never scheduled, which is expected. However, because of this issue, the cycles event is never scheduled either. $ perf stat -e ref-cycles:D,ref-cycles,cycles -C 5 -I 1000 time counts unit events 1.000152973 15,412,480 ref-cycles:D 1.000152973 ref-cycles (0.00%) 1.000152973 cycles (0.00%) 2.000486957 18,263,120 ref-cycles:D 2.000486957 ref-cycles (0.00%) 2.000486957 cycles (0.00%) To fix this, when the flexible_active list is empty, try rotate the first event in the flexible_groups. Also, rename ctx_first_active() to ctx_event_to_rotate(), which is more accurate.
