2014-02-27perf: Fix hotplug splatPeter Zijlstra
Drew Richardson reported that he could make the kernel go *boom* when hotplugging while having perf events active. It turned out that when you have a group event, the code in __perf_event_exit_context() fails to remove the group siblings from the context. We then proceed with destroying and freeing the event, and when you re-plug the CPU and try and add another event to that CPU, things go *boom* because you've still got dead entries there.

2014-01-12perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open()Yann Droneaud
Unlike recent modern userspace API such as: epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC), fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC), signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC), or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC), perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC (eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace. The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec. Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec, without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the associated race condition between the current thread and another thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).

2014-01-12perf/x86: Fix active_entry initializationStephane Eranian
This patch fixes a problem with the initialization of the struct perf_event active_entry field. It is defined inside an anonymous union and was initialized in perf_event_alloc() using INIT_LIST_HEAD(). However at that time, we do not know whether the event is going to use active_entry or hlist_entry (SW). Or at last, we don't want to make that determination there. The problem is that hlist and list_head are not initialized the same way. One is okay with NULL (from kzmalloc), the other needs to pointers to point to self. This patch resolves this problem by dropping the union. This will avoid problems later on, if someone starts using active_entry or hlist_entry without verifying that they actually overlap. This also solves the initialization problem.

2014-01-02uprobes: Allocate ->utask before handler_chain() for tracing handlersOleg Nesterov
uprobe_trace_print() and uprobe_perf_print() need to pass the additional info to call_fetch() methods, currently there is no simple way to do this. current->utask looks like a natural place to hold this info, but we need to allocate it before handler_chain().

Vince Weaver reports that, on all architectures apart from ARM, PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD doesn't actually update the period until the next event fires. This is counter-intuitive behaviour and is better dealt with in the core code. This patch ensures that the period is forcefully reset when dealing with such a request in the core code.

Currently, only one PMU in a context gets disabled during unthrottling and event_sched_{out,in}(), however, events in one context may belong to different pmus, which results in PMUs being reprogrammed while they are still enabled.

2013-11-27perf: Add active_entry list head to struct perf_eventStephane Eranian
This patch adds a new field to the struct perf_event. It is intended to be used to chain events which are active (enabled). It helps in the hardware layer for PMUs which do not have actual counter restrictions, i.e., free running read-only counters. Active events are chained as opposed to being tracked via the counter they use. To save space we use a union with hlist_entry as both are mutually exclusive (suggested by Jiri Olsa).

2013-11-20uprobes: Add uprobe_task->dup_xol_work/dup_xol_addrOleg Nesterov
uprobe_task->vaddr is a bit strange. The generic code uses it only to pass the additional argument to arch_uprobe_pre_xol(), and since it is always equal to instruction_pointer() this looks even more strange. And both utask->vaddr and and utask->autask have the same scope, they only have the meaning when the task executes the probed insn out-of-line, so it is safe to reuse both in UTASK_RUNNING state. This all means that logically ->vaddr belongs to arch_uprobe_task and we should probably move it there, arch_uprobe_pre_xol() can record instruction_pointer() itself. OTOH, it is also used by uprobe_copy_process() and dup_xol_work() for another purpose, this doesn't look clean and doesn't allow to move this member into arch_uprobe_task. This patch adds the union with 2 anonymous structs into uprobe_task. The first struct is autask + vaddr, this way we "almost" move vaddr into autask. The second struct has 2 new members for uprobe_copy_process() paths: ->dup_xol_addr which can be used instead ->vaddr, and ->dup_xol_work which can be used to avoid kmalloc() and simplify the code. Note that this union will likely have another member(s), we need something like "private_data_for_handlers" so that the tracing handlers could use it to communicate with call_fetch() methods.

2013-11-09uprobes: Fix the memory out of bound overwrite in copy_insn()Oleg Nesterov
1. copy_insn() doesn't look very nice, all calculations are confusing and it is not immediately clear why do we read the 2nd page first. 2. The usage of inode->i_size is wrong on 32-bit machines. 3. "Instruction at end of binary" logic is simply wrong, it doesn't handle the case when uprobe->offset > inode->i_size. In this case "bytes" overflows, and __copy_insn() writes to the memory outside of uprobe->arch.insn. Yes, uprobe_register() checks i_size_read(), but this file can be truncated after that. All i_size checks are racy, we do this only to catch the obvious mistakes. Change copy_insn() to call __copy_insn() in a loop, simplify and fix the bytes/nbytes calculations. Note: we do not care if we read extra bytes after inode->i_size if we got the valid page. This is fine because the task gets the same page after page-fault, and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() can't know how many bytes were actually read anyway. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

2013-11-06perf: Fix arch_perf_out_copy_user defaultPeter Zijlstra
The arch_perf_output_copy_user() default of __copy_from_user_inatomic() returns bytes not copied, while all other argument functions given DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() return bytes copied. Since copy_from_user_nmi() is the odd duck out by returning bytes copied where all other *copy_{to,from}* functions return bytes not copied, change it over and ammend DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() to expect bytes not copied. Oddly enough DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() already returned bytes not copied while expecting its worker functions to return bytes copied.

2013-10-29uprobes: Teach uprobe_copy_process() to handle CLONE_VFORKOleg Nesterov
uprobe_copy_process() does nothing if the child shares ->mm with the forking process, but there is a special case: CLONE_VFORK. In this case it would be more correct to do dup_utask() but avoid dup_xol(). This is not that important, the child should not unwind its stack too much, this can corrupt the parent's stack, but at least we need this to allow to ret-probe __vfork() itself. Note: in theory, it would be better to check task_pt_regs(p)->sp instead of CLONE_VFORK, we need to dup_utask() if and only if the child can return from the function called by the parent. But this needs the arch-dependant helper, and I think that nobody actually does clone(same_stack, CLONE_VM).

2013-10-29uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup xol_areaOleg Nesterov
This finally fixes the serious bug in uretprobes: a forked child crashes if the parent called fork() with the pending ret probe. Trivial test-case: # perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 __fork%return # perf record -e probe_libc:__fork perl -le 'fork || print "OK"' (the child doesn't print "OK", it is killed by SIGSEGV) If the child returns from the probed function it actually returns to trampoline_vaddr, because it got the copy of parent's stack mangled by prepare_uretprobe() when the parent entered this func. It crashes because a) this address is not mapped and b) until the previous change it doesn't have the proper->return_instances info. This means that uprobe_copy_process() has to create xol_area which has the trampoline slot, and its vaddr should be equal to parent's xol_area->vaddr. Unfortunately, uprobe_copy_process() can not simply do __create_xol_area(child, xol_area->vaddr). This could actually work but perf_event_mmap() doesn't expect the usage of foreign ->mm. So we offload this to task_work_run(), and pass the argument via not yet used utask->vaddr. We know that this vaddr is fine for install_special_mapping(), the necessary hole was recently "created" by dup_mmap() which skips the parent's VM_DONTCOPY area, and nobody else could use the new mm. Unfortunately, this also means that we can not handle the errors properly, we obviously can not abort the already completed fork(). So we simply print the warning if GFP_KERNEL allocation (the only possible reason) fails.

2013-10-29uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup return_instancesOleg Nesterov
uprobe_copy_process() assumes that the new child doesn't need ->utask, it should be allocated by demand. But this is not true if the forking task has the pending ret- probes, the child should report them as well and thus it needs the copy of parent's ->return_instances chain. Otherwise the child crashes when it returns from the probed function. Alternatively we could cleanup the child's stack, but this needs per-arch changes and this is not what we want. At least systemtap expects a .return in the child too. Note: this change alone doesn't fix the problem, see the next change.

So this patch adds the new "vaddr" argument to __create_xol_area() which should be used as area->vaddr if it is nonzero. xol_add_vma() doesn't bother to verify that the predefined addr is not used, insert_vm_struct() should fail if find_vma_links() detects the overlap with the existing vma.

Preparation for the next patches. Move the callsite of uprobe_copy_process() in copy_process() down to the succesfull return. We do not care if copy_process() fails, uprobe_free_utask() won't be called in this case so the wrong ->utask != NULL doesn't matter. OTOH, with this change we know that copy_process() can't fail when uprobe_copy_process() is called, the new task should either return to user-mode or call do_exit(). This way uprobe_copy_process() can: 1. setup p->utask != NULL if necessary 2. setup uprobes_state.xol_area 3. use task_work_add(p) Also, move the definition of uprobe_copy_process() down so that it can see get_utask().

For now, we disable the extended MMAP record support (MMAP2). We have identified cases where it would not report the correct mapping information, clone(VM_CLONE) but with separate pids. We will revisit the support once we find a solution for this case. The patch changes the kernel to return EINVAL if attr->mmap2 is set. The patch also modifies the perf tool to use regular PERF_RECORD_MMAP for synthetic events and it also prevents the tool from requesting attr->mmap2 mode because the kernel would reject it. The support will be revisited once the kenrel interface is updated. In V2, we reduce the patch to the strict minimum. In V3, we avoid calling perf_event_open() with mmap2 set because we know it will fail and require fallback retry.

2013-10-04perf: Add generic transaction flagsAndi Kleen
Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort. The tuning strategies are very different for those cases, so it's important to distinguish them easily and early. Since it's inconvenient and inflexible to filter for this in the kernel we report all the events out and allow some post processing in user space. The flags are based on the Intel TSX events, but should be fairly generic and mostly applicable to other HTM architectures too. In addition to various flag words there's also reserved space to report an program supplied abort code. For TSX this is used to distinguish specific classes of aborts, like a lock busy abort when doing lock elision. Flags: Elision and generic transactions (ELISION vs TRANSACTION) (HLE vs RTM on TSX; IBM etc. would likely only use TRANSACTION) Aborts caused by current thread vs aborts caused by others (SYNC vs ASYNC) Retryable transaction (RETRY) Conflicts with other threads (CONFLICT) Transaction write capacity overflow (CAPACITY WRITE) Transaction read capacity overflow (CAPACITY READ) Transactions implicitely aborted can also return an abort code. This can be used to signal specific events to the profiler. A common case is abort on lock busy in a RTM eliding library (code 0xff) To handle this case we include the TSX abort code Common example aborts in TSX would be: - Data conflict with another thread on memory read. Flags: TRANSACTION|ASYNC|CONFLICT - executing a WRMSR in a transaction. Flags: TRANSACTION|SYNC - HLE transaction in user space is too large Flags: ELISION|SYNC|CAPACITY-WRITE The only flag that is somewhat TSX specific is ELISION. This adds the perf core glue needed for reporting the new flag word out. v2: Add MEM/MISC v3: Move transaction to the end v4: Separate capacity-read/write and remove misc v5: Remove _SAMPLE.
