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

2019-10-21T09:31:24Z

The following commit from the v5.4 merge window: d44248a41337 ("perf/core: Rework memory accounting in perf_mmap()") ... breaks auxiliary trace buffer tracking. If I run command 'perf record -e rbd000' to record samples and saving them in the **auxiliary** trace buffer then the value of 'locked_vm' becomes negative after all trace buffers have been allocated and released: During allocation the values increase: [52.250027] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x87 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250115] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x107 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250251] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x188 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250326] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x208 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250441] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x289 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250498] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x309 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250613] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x38a pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250715] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x2 ret:0 [52.250834] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x83 ret:0 [52.250915] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x103 ret:0 [52.251061] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x184 ret:0 [52.251146] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x204 ret:0 [52.251299] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x285 ret:0 [52.251383] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x305 ret:0 [52.251544] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x386 ret:0 [52.251634] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x406 ret:0 [52.253018] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x487 ret:0 [52.253197] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x508 ret:0 [52.253374] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x589 ret:0 [52.253550] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x60a ret:0 [52.253726] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x68b ret:0 [52.253903] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x70c ret:0 [52.254084] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x78d ret:0 [52.254263] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x80e ret:0 The value of user->locked_vm increases to a limit then the memory is tracked by pinned_vm. During deallocation the size is subtracted from pinned_vm until it hits a limit. Then a larger value is subtracted from locked_vm leading to a large number (because of type unsigned): [64.267797] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x78d [64.267826] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x70c [64.267848] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x68b [64.267869] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x60a [64.267891] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x589 [64.267911] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x508 [64.267933] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x487 [64.267952] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x406 [64.268883] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x307 pinned_vm:0x406 [64.269117] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x206 pinned_vm:0x406 [64.269433] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x105 pinned_vm:0x406 [64.269536] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x4 pinned_vm:0x404 [64.269797] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0xffffffffffffff84 pinned_vm:0x303 [64.270105] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0xffffffffffffff04 pinned_vm:0x202 [64.270374] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0xfffffffffffffe84 pinned_vm:0x101 [64.270628] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0xfffffffffffffe04 pinned_vm:0x0 This value sticks for the user until system is rebooted, causing follow-on system calls using locked_vm resource limit to fail. 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.
