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: Fix perf_pmu_unregister() locking

When we unregister a PMU, we fail to serialize the @pmu_idr properly. Fix that by doing the entire thing under pmu_lock.

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.

perf/hw_breakpoint: Simplify breakpoint enable in perf_event_modify_breakpoint

2018-08-30T17:49:24Z

We can safely enable the breakpoint back for both the fail and success paths by checking only the bp->attr.disabled, which either holds the new 'requested' disabled state or the original breakpoint state. Committer testing: At the end of the series, the 'perf test' entry introduced as the first patch now runs to completion without finding the fixed issues: # perf test "bp modify" 62: x86 bp modify : Ok # In verbose mode: # perf test -v "bp modify" 62: x86 bp modify : --- start --- test child forked, pid 5161 rip 5950a0, bp_1 0x5950a0 in bp_1 rip 5950a0, bp_1 0x5950a0 in bp_1 test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- x86 bp modify: Ok Suggested-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: David Ahern Cc: Milind Chabbi Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180827091228.2878-6-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf/hw_breakpoint: Enable breakpoint in modify_user_hw_breakpoint

2018-08-30T17:49:23Z

Currently we enable the breakpoint back only if the breakpoint modification was successful. If it fails we can leave the breakpoint in disabled state with attr->disabled == 0. We can safely enable the breakpoint back for both the fail and success paths by checking the bp->attr.disabled, which either holds the new 'requested' disabled state or the original breakpoint state.

Once the breakpoint was succesfully modified, the attr->disabled value is in bp->attr.disabled. So there's no reason to set it again, removing that.

perf/hw_breakpoint: Modify breakpoint even if the new attr has disabled set

2018-08-30T17:49:23Z

We need to change the breakpoint even if the attr with new fields has disabled set to true. Current code prevents following user code to change the breakpoint address: ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), addr_1) ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), addr_2) ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[7]), dr7) The first PTRACE_POKEUSER creates the breakpoint with attr.disabled set to true: ptrace_set_breakpoint_addr(nr = 0) struct perf_event *bp = t->ptrace_bps[nr]; ptrace_register_breakpoint(..., disabled = true) ptrace_fill_bp_fields(..., disabled) register_user_hw_breakpoint So the second PTRACE_POKEUSER will be omitted: ptrace_set_breakpoint_addr(nr = 0) struct perf_event *bp = t->ptrace_bps[nr]; struct perf_event_attr attr = bp->attr; modify_user_hw_breakpoint(bp, &attr) if (!attr->disabled) modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check Reported-by: Milind Chabbi Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: David Ahern Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180827091228.2878-3-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

treewide: convert ISO_8859-1 text comments to utf-8

2018-08-24T01:48:43Z

Almost all files in the kernel are either plain text or UTF-8 encoded. A couple however are ISO_8859-1, usually just a few characters in a C comments, for historic reasons. This converts them all to UTF-8 for consistency.
