tracing: Fix fields of struct trace_iterator that are zeroed by mistake

2013-08-15T05:57:08Z

commit ed5467da0e369e65b247b99eb6403cb79172bcda upstream. tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains a comment about that, but it doesn't help. The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed. The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask. Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed. The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

perf: Use css_tryget() to avoid propping up css refcount

2013-08-11T22:38:43Z

commit 9c5da09d266ca9b32eb16cf940f8161d949c2fe5 upstream. An rmdir pushes css's ref count to zero. However, if the associated directory is open at the time, the dentry ref count is non-zero. If the fd for this directory is then passed into perf_event_open, it does a css_get(). This bounces the ref count back up from zero. This is a problem by itself. But what makes it turn into a crash is the fact that we end up doing an extra dput, since we perform a dput when css_put sees the ref count go down to zero. css_tryget() does not fall into that trap. So, we use that instead. Reproduction test-case for the bug: #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP (1U << 2) int perf_event_open(struct perf_event_attr *hw_event_uptr, pid_t pid, int cpu, int group_fd, unsigned long flags) { return syscall(__NR_perf_event_open,hw_event_uptr, pid, cpu, group_fd, flags); } /* * Directly poke at the perf_event bug, since it's proving hard to repro * depending on where in the kernel tree. what moved? */ int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd; struct perf_event_attr attr; memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(attr)); attr.exclude_kernel = 1; attr.size = sizeof(attr); mkdir("/dev/cgroup/perf_event/blah", 0777); fd = open("/dev/cgroup/perf_event/blah", O_RDONLY); perror("open"); rmdir("/dev/cgroup/perf_event/blah"); sleep(2); perf_event_open(&attr, fd, 0, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP); perror("perf_event_open"); close(fd); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Salman Qazi Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Acked-by: Tejun Heo Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120614223108.1025.2503.stgit@dungbeetle.mtv.corp.google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf: Fix event group context move

2013-08-11T22:38:43Z

commit 0231bb5336758426b44ccd798ccd3c5419c95d58 upstream. When we have group with mixed events (hw/sw) we want to end up with group leader being in hw context. So if group leader is initialy sw event, we move all the events under hw context. The move is done for each event by removing it from its context and adding it back into proper one. As a part of the removal the event is automatically disabled, which is not what we want at this stage of creating groups. The fix is to initialize event state after removal from sw context.

sched: Fix the broken sched_rr_get_interval()

2013-08-11T22:38:43Z

commit a59f4e079d19464eebb9b06513a1d4f55fdae5ba upstream. The caller of sched_sliced() should pass se.cfs_rq and se as the arguments, however in sched_rr_get_interval() we gave it rq.cfs_rq and se, which made the following computation obviously wrong. The change was introduced by commit: 77034937dc45 sched: fix crash in sys_sched_rr_get_interval() ... 5 years ago, while it had been the correct 'cfs_rq_of' before the commit. The change seems to be irrelevant to the commit msg, which was to return a 0 timeslice for tasks that are on an idle runqueue. So I believe that was just a plain typo.

hrtimers: Move SMP function call to thread context

2013-07-28T23:26:47Z

commit 5ec2481b7b47a4005bb446d176e5d0257400c77d upstream. smp_call_function_* must not be called from softirq context. But clock_was_set() which calls on_each_cpu() is called from softirq context to implement a delayed clock_was_set() for the timer interrupt handler. Though that almost never gets invoked. A recent change in the resume code uses the softirq based delayed clock_was_set to support Xens resume mechanism. linux-next contains a new warning which warns if smp_call_function_* is called from softirq context which gets triggered by that Xen change. Fix this by moving the delayed clock_was_set() call to a work context. Reported-and-tested-by: Artem Savkov Reported-by: Sasha Levin Cc: David Vrabel Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: H.

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.

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.
