perf: Fix perf_event_validate_size() lockdep splat

2023-12-15T11:33:23Z

When lockdep is enabled, the for_each_sibling_event(sibling, event) macro checks that event->ctx->mutex is held. When creating a new group leader event, we call perf_event_validate_size() on a partially initialized event where event->ctx is NULL, and so when for_each_sibling_event() attempts to check event->ctx->mutex, we get a splat, as reported by Lucas De Marchi: WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 1471 at kernel/events/core.c:1950 __do_sys_perf_event_open+0xf37/0x1080 This only happens for a new event which is its own group_leader, and in this case there cannot be any sibling events. Thus it's safe to skip the check for siblings, which avoids having to make invasive and ugly changes to for_each_sibling_event(). Avoid the splat by bailing out early when the new event is its own group_leader.

perf: Fix perf_event_validate_size()

2023-11-29T14:43:50Z

Budimir noted that perf_event_validate_size() only checks the size of the newly added event, even though the sizes of all existing events can also change due to not all events having the same read_format. When we attach the new event, perf_group_attach(), we do re-compute the size for all events.

perf: Disallow mis-matched inherited group reads

2023-10-19T08:09:42Z

Because group consistency is non-atomic between parent (filedesc) and children (inherited) events, it is possible for PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read() to try and sum non-matching counter groups -- with non-sensical results. Add group_generation to distinguish the case where a parent group removes and adds an event and thus has the same number, but a different configuration of events as inherited groups. This became a problem when commit fa8c269353d5 ("perf/core: Invert perf_read_group() loops") flipped the order of child_list and sibling_list. Previously it would iterate the group (sibling_list) first, and for each sibling traverse the child_list. In this order, only the group composition of the parent is relevant. By flipping the order the group composition of the child (inherited) events becomes an issue and the mis-match in group composition becomes evident. That said; even prior to this commit, while reading of a group that is not equally inherited was not broken, it still made no sense. (Ab)use ECHILD as error return to indicate issues with child process group composition.

perf: Optimize perf_cgroup_switch()

2023-10-12T17:28:38Z

Namhyung reported that bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling") regresses context switch overhead when perf-cgroup is in use together with 'slow' PMUs like uncore. Specifically, perf_cgroup_switch()'s perf_ctx_disable() / ctx_sched_out() etc.. all iterate the full list of active PMUs for that CPU, even if they don't have cgroup events. Previously there was cgrp_cpuctx_list which linked the relevant PMUs together, but that got lost in the rework. Instead of re-instruducing a similar list, let the perf_event_pmu_context iteration skip those that do not have cgroup events. This avoids growing multiple versions of the perf_event_pmu_context iteration.

perf/core: Allow reading package events from perf_event_read_local

2023-10-09T14:12:22Z

Per-package perf events are typically registered with a single CPU only, however they can be read across all the CPUs within the package. Currently perf_event_read maps the event CPU according to the topology information to avoid an unnecessary SMP call, however perf_event_read_local deals with hard values and rejects a read with a failure if the CPU is not the one exactly registered. Allow similar mapping within the perf_event_read_local if the perf event in question can support this. This allows users like BPF code to read the package perf events properly across different CPUs within a package.
