perf: Fix perf_lock_task_context() vs RCU

2013-07-28T23:25:48Z

commit 058ebd0eba3aff16b144eabf4510ed9510e1416e upstream. Jiri managed to trigger this warning: [] ====================================================== [] [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] [] 3.10.0+ #228 Tainted: G W [] ------------------------------------------------------- [] p/6613 is trying to acquire lock: [] (rcu_node_0){..-...}, at: [] rcu_read_unlock_special+0xa7/0x250 [] [] but task is already holding lock: [] (&ctx->lock){-.-...}, at: [] perf_lock_task_context+0xd9/0x2c0 [] [] which lock already depends on the new lock.

Therefore solve it by making the entire RCU read side non-preemptible. Also pull out the retry from under the non-preempt to play nice with RT. Reported-by: Jiri Olsa Helped-out-by: Paul E.

perf: Remove WARN_ON_ONCE() check in __perf_event_enable() for valid scenario

2013-07-28T23:25:48Z

commit 06f417968beac6e6b614e17b37d347aa6a6b1d30 upstream. The '!ctx->is_active' check has a valid scenario, so there's no need for the warning. The reason is that there's a time window between the 'ctx->is_active' check in the perf_event_enable() function and the __perf_event_enable() function having: - IRQs on - ctx->lock unlocked where the task could be killed and 'ctx' deactivated by perf_event_exit_task(), ending up with the warning below. So remove the WARN_ON_ONCE() check and add comments to explain it all. This addresses the following warning reported by Vince Weaver: [ 324.983534] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 324.984420] WARNING: at kernel/events/core.c:1953 __perf_event_enable+0x187/0x190() [ 324.984420] Modules linked in: [ 324.984420] CPU: 19 PID: 2715 Comm: nmi_bug_snb Not tainted 3.10.0+ #246 [ 324.984420] Hardware name: Supermicro X8DTN/X8DTN, BIOS 4.6.3 01/08/2010 [ 324.984420] 0000000000000009 ffff88043fce3ec8 ffffffff8160ea0b ffff88043fce3f00 [ 324.984420] ffffffff81080ff0 ffff8802314fdc00 ffff880231a8f800 ffff88043fcf7860 [ 324.984420] 0000000000000286 ffff880231a8f800 ffff88043fce3f10 ffffffff8108103a [ 324.984420] Call Trace: [ 324.984420] [] dump_stack+0x19/0x1b [ 324.984420] [] warn_slowpath_common+0x70/0xa0 [ 324.984420] [] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [ 324.984420] [] __perf_event_enable+0x187/0x190 [ 324.984420] [] remote_function+0x40/0x50 [ 324.984420] [] generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0xbe/0x130 [ 324.984420] [] smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x27/0x40 [ 324.984420] [] call_function_single_interrupt+0x6f/0x80 [ 324.984420] [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x41/0x70 [ 324.984420] [] perf_event_exit_task+0x14d/0x210 [ 324.984420] [] ? switch_task_namespaces+0x24/0x60 [ 324.984420] [] do_exit+0x2b6/0xa40 [ 324.984420] [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x2c/0x30 [ 324.984420] [] do_group_exit+0x49/0xc0 [ 324.984420] [] get_signal_to_deliver+0x254/0x620 [ 324.984420] [] do_signal+0x57/0x5a0 [ 324.984420] [] ? __do_page_fault+0x2a4/0x4e0 [ 324.984420] [] ? retint_restore_args+0xe/0xe [ 324.984420] [] ? retint_signal+0x11/0x84 [ 324.984420] [] do_notify_resume+0x65/0x80 [ 324.984420] [] retint_signal+0x46/0x84 [ 324.984420] ---[ end trace 442ec2f04db3771a ]--- Reported-by: Vince Weaver Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1373384651-6109-2-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf: Clone child context from parent context pmu

2013-07-28T23:25:48Z

commit 734df5ab549ca44f40de0f07af1c8803856dfb18 upstream. Currently when the child context for inherited events is created, it's based on the pmu object of the first event of the parent context. This is wrong for the following scenario: - HW context having HW and SW event - HW event got removed (closed) - SW event stays in HW context as the only event and its pmu is used to clone the child context The issue starts when the cpu context object is touched based on the pmu context object (__get_cpu_context). In this case the HW context will work with SW cpu context ending up with following WARN below. Fixing this by using parent context pmu object to clone from child context.

perf: Fix mmap() accounting hole

2013-07-03T17:59:06Z

commit 9bb5d40cd93c9dd4be74834b1dcb1ba03629716b upstream. Vince's fuzzer once again found holes. This time it spotted a leak in the locked page accounting. When an event had redirected output and its close() was the last reference to the buffer we didn't have a vm context to undo accounting. Change the code to destroy the buffer on the last munmap() and detach all redirected events at that time. This provides us the right context to undo the vm accounting. [Backporting for 3.4-stable. VM_RESERVED flag was replaced with pair 'VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP' in 314e51b9 since 3.7.0-rc1, and 314e51b9 comes from a big patchset, we didn't backport the patchset, so I restored 'VM_DNOTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP' as before: - vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTCOPY | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP; + vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTCOPY | VM_RESERVED; -- zliu] Reported-and-tested-by: Vince Weaver Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130604084421.GI8923@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net Cc: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Zhouping Liu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf: Fix perf mmap bugs

2013-07-03T17:59:06Z

commit 26cb63ad11e04047a64309362674bcbbd6a6f246 upstream. Vince reported a problem found by his perf specific trinity fuzzer. Al noticed 2 problems with perf's mmap(): - it has issues against fork() since we use vma->vm_mm for accounting. - it has an rb refcount leak on double mmap(). We fix the issues against fork() by using VM_DONTCOPY; I don't think there's code out there that uses this; we didn't hear about weird accounting problems/crashes. If we do need this to work, the previously proposed VM_PINNED could make this work. Aside from the rb reference leak spotted by Al, Vince's example prog was indeed doing a double mmap() through the use of perf_event_set_output(). This exposes another problem, since we now have 2 events with one buffer, the accounting gets screwy because we account per event. Fix this by making the buffer responsible for its own accounting.

hw_breakpoint: Use cpu_possible_mask in {reserve,release}_bp_slot()

2013-07-03T17:59:01Z

commit c790b0ad23f427c7522ffed264706238c57c007e upstream. fetch_bp_busy_slots() and toggle_bp_slot() use for_each_online_cpu(), this is obviously wrong wrt cpu_up() or cpu_down(), we can over/under account the per-cpu numbers. For example: # echo 0 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # perf record -e mem:0x10 -p 1 & # echo 1 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # perf record -e mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10 -C1 -a & # taskset -p 0x2 1 triggers the same WARN_ONCE("Can't find any breakpoint slot") in arch_install_hw_breakpoint().

perf: Treat attr.config as u64 in perf_swevent_init()

commit 8176cced706b5e5d15887584150764894e94e02f upstream. Trinity discovered that we fail to check all 64 bits of attr.config passed by user space, resulting to out-of-bounds access of the perf_swevent_enabled array in sw_perf_event_destroy().

perf_event: Switch to internal refcount, fix race with close()

2012-10-02T17:29:54Z

commit a6fa941d94b411bbd2b6421ffbde6db3c93e65ab upstream. Don't mess with file refcounts (or keep a reference to file, for that matter) in perf_event. Use explicit refcount of its own instead. Deal with the race between the final reference to event going away and new children getting created for it by use of atomic_long_inc_not_zero() in inherit_event(); just have the latter free what it had allocated and return NULL, that works out just fine (children of siblings of something doomed are created as singletons, same as if the child of leader had been created and immediately killed).

perf: Fix perf_event_for_each() to use sibling

2012-04-26T11:51:31Z

In perf_event_for_each() we call a function on an event, and then iterate over the siblings of the event. However we don't call the function on the siblings, we call it repeatedly on the original event - it seems "obvious" that we should be calling it with sibling as the argument. It looks like this broke in commit 75f937f24bd9 ("Fix ctx->mutex vs counter->mutex inversion"). The only effect of the bug is that the PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP parameter to the ioctls doesn't work.
