perf: Fix missing SIGTRAPs Marco reported: Due to the implementation of how SIGTRAP are delivered if perf_event_attr::sigtrap is set, we've noticed 3 issues: 1. Missing SIGTRAP due to a race with event_sched_out() (more details below). 2. Hardware PMU events being disabled due to returning 1 from perf_event_overflow(). The only way to re-enable the event is for user space to first "properly" disable the event and then re-enable it. 3. The inability to automatically disable an event after a specified number of overflows via PERF_EVENT_IOC_REFRESH. The worst of the 3 issues is problem (1), which occurs when a pending_disable is "consumed" by a racing event_sched_out(), observed as follows: CPU0 | CPU1 --------------------------------+--------------------------- __perf_event_overflow() | perf_event_disable_inatomic() | pending_disable = CPU0 | ... | _perf_event_enable() | event_function_call() | task_function_call() | /* sends IPI to CPU0 */ <IPI> | ... __perf_event_enable() +--------------------------- ctx_resched() task_ctx_sched_out() ctx_sched_out() group_sched_out() event_sched_out() pending_disable = -1 </IPI> <IRQ-work> perf_pending_event() perf_pending_event_disable() /* Fails to send SIGTRAP because no pending_disable! */ </IRQ-work> In the above case, not only is that particular SIGTRAP missed, but also all future SIGTRAPs because 'event_limit' is not reset back to 1. To fix, rework pending delivery of SIGTRAP via IRQ-work by introduction of a separate 'pending_sigtrap', no longer using 'event_limit' and 'pending_disable' for its delivery. Additionally; and different to Marco's proposed patch: - recognise that pending_disable effectively duplicates oncpu for the case where it is set. As such, change the irq_work handler to use ->oncpu to target the event and use pending_* as boolean toggles. - observe that SIGTRAP targets the ctx->task, so the context switch optimization that carries contexts between tasks is invalid. If the irq_work were delayed enough to hit after a context switch the SIGTRAP would be delivered to the wrong task. - observe that if the event gets scheduled out (rotation/migration/context-switch/...) the irq-work would be insufficient to deliver the SIGTRAP when the event gets scheduled back in (the irq-work might still be pending on the old CPU). Therefore have event_sched_out() convert the pending sigtrap into a task_work which will deliver the signal at return_to_user.

atomic: remove all traces of READ_ONCE_CTRL() and atomic*_read_ctrl() This seems to be a mis-reading of how alpha memory ordering works, and is not backed up by the alpha architecture manual. The helper functions don't do anything special on any other architectures, and the arguments that support them being safe on other architectures also argue that they are safe on alpha. Basically, the "control dependency" is between a previous read and a subsequent write that is dependent on the value read. Even if the subsequent write is actually done speculatively, there is no way that such a speculative write could be made visible to other cpu's until it has been committed, which requires validating the speculation. Note that most weakely ordered architectures (very much including alpha) do not guarantee any ordering relationship between two loads that depend on each other on a control dependency: read A if (val == 1) read B because the conditional may be predicted, and the "read B" may be speculatively moved up to before reading the value A. So we require the user to insert a smp_rmb() between the two accesses to be correct: read A; if (A == 1) smp_rmb() read B Alpha is further special in that it can break that ordering even if the *address* of B depends on the read of A, because the cacheline that is read later may be stale unless you have a memory barrier in between the pointer read and the read of the value behind a pointer: read ptr read offset(ptr) whereas all other weakly ordered architectures guarantee that the data dependency (as opposed to just a control dependency) will order the two accesses. As a result, alpha needs a "smp_read_barrier_depends()" in between those two reads for them to be ordered. The coontrol dependency that "READ_ONCE_CTRL()" and "atomic_read_ctrl()" had was a control dependency to a subsequent *write*, however, and nobody can finalize such a subsequent write without having actually done the read. And were you to write such a value to a "stale" cacheline (the way the unordered reads came to be), that would seem to lose the write entirely. So the things that make alpha able to re-order reads even more aggressively than other weak architectures do not seem to be relevant for a subsequent write. Alpha memory ordering may be strange, but there's no real indication that it is *that* strange. Also, the alpha architecture reference manual very explicitly talks about the definition of "Dependence Constraints" in section 5.6.1.7, where a preceding read dominates a subsequent write. Such a dependence constraint admittedly does not impose a BEFORE (alpha architecture term for globally visible ordering), but it does guarantee that there can be no "causal loop". I don't see how you could avoid such a loop if another cpu could see the stored value and then impact the value of the first read. Put another way: the read and the write could not be seen as being out of order wrt other cpus. So I do not see how these "x_ctrl()" functions can currently be necessary. I may have to eat my words at some point, but in the absense of clear proof that alpha actually needs this, or indeed even an explanation of how alpha could _possibly_ need it, I do not believe these functions are called for. And if it turns out that alpha really _does_ need a barrier for this case, that barrier still should not be "smp_read_barrier_depends()". We'd have to make up some new speciality barrier just for alpha, along with the documentation for why it really is necessary.

perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to support reading from overwritable ring buffer. Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling, they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers. Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records. By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created. Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail' pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However, there's an obscure problem. The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer, kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer. (X) head . | . V +------+-------+----------+------+---+ |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D| | +------+-------+----------+------+---+ Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E': head | V +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..| +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding. The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from [1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method utilizes no more tham 50% records. Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its performance is also not good, because more data need to be written. This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast path. 'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem. Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+------+ | |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A| +---+------+----------+-------+------+ and after overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.| +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record. From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch records one by one. The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading. Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation: tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now. To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is suggested because its overhead is lower than ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE). By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the ring-buffer. For example: /* A union of all possible events */ union perf_event event; p = head = perf_mmap__read_head(); while (true) { /* copy header of next event */ fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header)); /* read 'head' pointer */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* check overwritten: is the header good? */ if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head)) break; /* copy the whole event */ fetch(&event, p, event.header.size); /* read 'head' pointer again */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* is the whole event good? */ if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head)) break; p += event.header.size; } However, the overhead is high because: a) In-place decoding is not safe. Copying-verifying-decoding is required. b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization. (From Alexei Starovoitov: Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until next trigger comes.) This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output() and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead introduced to fast path.

V +------+-------+----------+------+---+ |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D| | +------+-------+----------+------+---+ Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E': head | V +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..| +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding. The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from [1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method utilizes no more tham 50% records. Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its performance is also not good, because more data need to be written. This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast path. 'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem. Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+------+ | |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A| +---+------+----------+-------+------+ and after overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.| +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record. From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch records one by one. The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading. Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation: tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now. To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is suggested because its overhead is lower than ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE). By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the ring-buffer. For example: /* A union of all possible events */ union perf_event event; p = head = perf_mmap__read_head(); while (true) { /* copy header of next event */ fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header)); /* read 'head' pointer */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* check overwritten: is the header good? */ if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head)) break; /* copy the whole event */ fetch(&event, p, event.header.size); /* read 'head' pointer again */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* is the whole event good? */ if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head)) break; p += event.header.size; } However, the overhead is high because: a) In-place decoding is not safe. Copying-verifying-decoding is required. b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization. (From Alexei Starovoitov: Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until next trigger comes.) This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output() and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead introduced to fast path.

perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to support reading from overwritable ring buffer. Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling, they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers. Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records. By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created. Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail' pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However, there's an obscure problem. The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a long record 'E' is pending.

struct perf_event *event, unsigned int size)
{
perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to support reading from overwritable ring buffer. Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling, they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers. Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records. By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created. Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail' pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However, there's an obscure problem. The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer, kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer. (X) head . | . V +------+-------+----------+------+---+ |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D| | +------+-------+----------+------+---+ Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E': head | V +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..| +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding. The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from [1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method utilizes no more tham 50% records. Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its performance is also not good, because more data need to be written. This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast path. 'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem. Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+------+ | |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A| +---+------+----------+-------+------+ and after overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.| +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record. From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch records one by one. The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading. Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation: tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now. To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is suggested because its overhead is lower than ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE). By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the ring-buffer. For example: /* A union of all possible events */ union perf_event event; p = head = perf_mmap__read_head(); while (true) { /* copy header of next event */ fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header)); /* read 'head' pointer */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* check overwritten: is the header good? */ if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head)) break; /* copy the whole event */ fetch(&event, p, event.header.size); /* read 'head' pointer again */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* is the whole event good? */ if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head)) break; p += event.header.size; } However, the overhead is high because: a) In-place decoding is not safe. Copying-verifying-decoding is required. b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization. (From Alexei Starovoitov: Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until next trigger comes.) This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output() and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead introduced to fast path.

perf/ring_buffer: Convert ring_buffer.refcount to refcount_t atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable ring_buffer.refcount is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. ** Important note for maintainers: Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic counterparts. Please check Documentation/core-api/refcount-vs-atomic.rst for more information. Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in some rare cases it might matter. Please double check that you don't have some undocumented memory guarantees for this variable usage. For the ring_buffer.refcount it might make a difference in following places: - ring_buffer_get(): increment in refcount_inc_not_zero() only guarantees control dependency on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart - ring_buffer_put(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only provides RELEASE ordering and ACQUIRE ordering + control dependency on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart Suggested-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova <elena.reshetova@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: David Windsor <dwindsor@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand <ishkamiel@gmail.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: acme@kernel.org Cc: namhyung@kernel.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1548678448-24458-3-git-send-email-elena.reshetova@intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

perf: Fix loss of notification with multi-event When you do: $ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10 You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at 1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event: $ perf report -D | tail -15 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 10998 MMAP events: 66 COMM events: 2 SAMPLE events: 10930 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3642 SAMPLE events: 3642 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active). And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number of samples per event. The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer, i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes notifications for any event will come via that descriptor. The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL. Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it works for now.

perf/ring_buffer: Introduce new ioctl options to pause and resume the ring-buffer Add new ioctl() to pause/resume ring-buffer output. In some situations we want to read from the ring-buffer only when we ensure nothing can write to the ring-buffer during reading. Without this patch we have to turn off all events attached to this ring-buffer to achieve this. This patch is a prerequisite to enable overwrite support for the perf ring-buffer support. Following commits will introduce new methods support reading from overwrite ring buffer. Before reading, caller must ensure the ring buffer is frozen, or the reading is unreliable.

perf/ring_buffer: Convert ring_buffer.aux_refcount to refcount_t atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable ring_buffer.aux_refcount is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. ** Important note for maintainers: Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic counterparts. Please check Documentation/core-api/refcount-vs-atomic.rst for more information. Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in some rare cases it might matter. Please double check that you don't have some undocumented memory guarantees for this variable usage. For the ring_buffer.aux_refcount it might make a difference in following places: - perf_aux_output_begin(): increment in refcount_inc_not_zero() only guarantees control dependency on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart - rb_free_aux(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only provides RELEASE ordering and ACQUIRE ordering + control dependency on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart Suggested-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova <elena.reshetova@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: David Windsor <dwindsor@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand <ishkamiel@gmail.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: acme@kernel.org Cc: namhyung@kernel.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1548678448-24458-4-git-send-email-elena.reshetova@intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

perf: Add API for PMUs to write to the AUX area For pmus that wish to write data to ring buffer's AUX area, provide perf_aux_output_{begin,end}() calls to initiate/commit data writes, similarly to perf_output_{begin,end}. These also use the same output handle structure. Also, similarly to software counterparts, these will direct inherited events' output to parents' ring buffers. After the perf_aux_output_begin() returns successfully, handle->size is set to the maximum amount of data that can be written wrt aux_tail pointer, so that no data that the user hasn't seen will be overwritten, therefore this should always be called before hardware writing is enabled. On success, this will return the pointer to pmu driver's private structure allocated for this aux area by pmu::setup_aux. Same pointer can also be retrieved using perf_get_aux() while hardware writing is enabled. PMU driver should pass the actual amount of data written as a parameter to perf_aux_output_end(). All hardware writes should be completed and visible before this one is called. Additionally, perf_aux_output_skip() will adjust output handle and aux_head in case some part of the buffer has to be skipped over to maintain hardware's alignment constraints. Nested writers are forbidden and guards are in place to catch such attempts.

It does not depend on data buffer's overwrite mode, so that it doesn't lose sideband data that is instrumental for processing AUX data. Overwrite mode is enabled at mapping AUX area read only. Even though aux_tail in the buffer's user page might be user writable, it will be ignored in this mode. A PERF_RECORD_AUX with PERF_AUX_FLAG_OVERWRITE set is written to the perf data stream every time an event writes new data to the AUX area. The pmu driver might not be able to infer the exact beginning of the new data in each snapshot, some drivers will only provide the tail, which is aux_offset + aux_size in the AUX record.

locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

perf/core: Fix perf_event_disable_inatomic() race Thomas-Mich Richter reported he triggered a WARN()ing from event_function_local() on his s390. The problem boils down to: CPU-A CPU-B perf_event_overflow() perf_event_disable_inatomic() @pending_disable = 1 irq_work_queue(); sched-out event_sched_out() @pending_disable = 0 sched-in perf_event_overflow() perf_event_disable_inatomic() @pending_disable = 1; irq_work_queue(); // FAILS irq_work_run() perf_pending_event() if (@pending_disable) perf_event_disable_local(); // WHOOPS The problem exists in generic, but s390 is particularly sensitive because it doesn't implement arch_irq_work_raise(), nor does it call irq_work_run() from it's PMU interrupt handler (nor would that be sufficient in this case, because s390 also generates perf_event_overflow() from pmu::stop). Add to that the fact that s390 is a virtual architecture and (virtual) CPU-A can stall long enough for the above race to happen, even if it would self-IPI. Adding a irq_work_sync() to event_sched_in() would work for all hardare PMUs that properly use irq_work_run() but fails for software PMUs. Instead encode the CPU number in @pending_disable, such that we can tell which CPU requested the disable. This then allows us to detect the above scenario and even redirect the IPI to make up for the failed queue.

/*
* Commit the data written by hardware into the ring buffer by adjusting
* aux_head and posting a PERF_RECORD_AUX into the perf buffer. It is the
* pmu driver's responsibility to observe ordering rules of the hardware,
* so that all the data is externally visible before this is called.
*
* Note: this has to be called from pmu::stop() callback, as the assumption
* of the AUX buffer management code is that after pmu::stop(), the AUX
* transaction must be stopped and therefore drop the AUX reference count.
perf: Add API for PMUs to write to the AUX area For pmus that wish to write data to ring buffer's AUX area, provide perf_aux_output_{begin,end}() calls to initiate/commit data writes, similarly to perf_output_{begin,end}. These also use the same output handle structure. Also, similarly to software counterparts, these will direct inherited events' output to parents' ring buffers. After the perf_aux_output_begin() returns successfully, handle->size is set to the maximum amount of data that can be written wrt aux_tail pointer, so that no data that the user hasn't seen will be overwritten, therefore this should always be called before hardware writing is enabled. On success, this will return the pointer to pmu driver's private structure allocated for this aux area by pmu::setup_aux. Same pointer can also be retrieved using perf_get_aux() while hardware writing is enabled. PMU driver should pass the actual amount of data written as a parameter to perf_aux_output_end(). All hardware writes should be completed and visible before this one is called.

perf/core: Fix perf_event_disable_inatomic() race Thomas-Mich Richter reported he triggered a WARN()ing from event_function_local() on his s390. The problem boils down to: CPU-A CPU-B perf_event_overflow() perf_event_disable_inatomic() @pending_disable = 1 irq_work_queue(); sched-out event_sched_out() @pending_disable = 0 sched-in perf_event_overflow() perf_event_disable_inatomic() @pending_disable = 1; irq_work_queue(); // FAILS irq_work_run() perf_pending_event() if (@pending_disable) perf_event_disable_local(); // WHOOPS The problem exists in generic, but s390 is particularly sensitive because it doesn't implement arch_irq_work_raise(), nor does it call irq_work_run() from it's PMU interrupt handler (nor would that be sufficient in this case, because s390 also generates perf_event_overflow() from pmu::stop). Add to that the fact that s390 is a virtual architecture and (virtual) CPU-A can stall long enough for the above race to happen, even if it would self-IPI. Adding a irq_work_sync() to event_sched_in() would work for all hardare PMUs that properly use irq_work_run() but fails for software PMUs. Instead encode the CPU number in @pending_disable, such that we can tell which CPU requested the disable. This then allows us to detect the above scenario and even redirect the IPI to make up for the failed queue.

perf: Add AUX area to ring buffer for raw data streams This patch introduces "AUX space" in the perf mmap buffer, intended for exporting high bandwidth data streams to userspace, such as instruction flow traces. AUX space is a ring buffer, defined by aux_{offset,size} fields in the user_page structure, and read/write pointers aux_{head,tail}, which abide by the same rules as data_* counterparts of the main perf buffer.

perf/ring_buffer: Use high order allocations for AUX buffers optimistically Currently, the AUX buffer allocator will use high-order allocations for PMUs that don't support hardware scatter-gather chaining to ensure large contiguous blocks of pages, and always use an array of single pages otherwise. There is, however, a tangible performance benefit in using larger chunks of contiguous memory even in the latter case, that comes from not having to fetch the next page's address at every page boundary. In particular, a task running under Intel PT on an Atom CPU shows 1.5%-2% less runtime penalty with a single multi-page output region in snapshot mode (no PMI) than with multiple single-page output regions, from ~6% down to ~4%. For the snapshot mode it does make a difference as it is intended to run over long periods of time. For this reason, change the allocation policy to always optimistically start with the highest possible order when allocating pages for the AUX buffer, desceding until the allocation succeeds or order zero allocation fails.

perf: Add AUX area to ring buffer for raw data streams This patch introduces "AUX space" in the perf mmap buffer, intended for exporting high bandwidth data streams to userspace, such as instruction flow traces. AUX space is a ring buffer, defined by aux_{offset,size} fields in the user_page structure, and read/write pointers aux_{head,tail}, which abide by the same rules as data_* counterparts of the main perf buffer. In order to allocate/mmap AUX, userspace needs to set up aux_offset to such an offset that will be greater than data_offset+data_size and aux_size to be the desired buffer size. Both need to be page aligned. Then, same aux_offset and aux_size should be passed to mmap() call and if everything adds up, you should have an AUX buffer as a result.

perf/ring_buffer: Convert ring_buffer.aux_refcount to refcount_t atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable ring_buffer.aux_refcount is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. ** Important note for maintainers: Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic counterparts. Please check Documentation/core-api/refcount-vs-atomic.rst for more information. Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in some rare cases it might matter. Please double check that you don't have some undocumented memory guarantees for this variable usage. For the ring_buffer.aux_refcount it might make a difference in following places: - perf_aux_output_begin(): increment in refcount_inc_not_zero() only guarantees control dependency on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart - rb_free_aux(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only provides RELEASE ordering and ACQUIRE ordering + control dependency on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart Suggested-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova <elena.reshetova@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: David Windsor <dwindsor@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand <ishkamiel@gmail.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: acme@kernel.org Cc: namhyung@kernel.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1548678448-24458-4-git-send-email-elena.reshetova@intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

perf: Support overwrite mode for the AUX area This adds support for overwrite mode in the AUX area, which means "keep collecting data till you're stopped", turning AUX area into a circular buffer, where new data overwrites old data. It does not depend on data buffer's overwrite mode, so that it doesn't lose sideband data that is instrumental for processing AUX data. Overwrite mode is enabled at mapping AUX area read only. Even though aux_tail in the buffer's user page might be user writable, it will be ignored in this mode. A PERF_RECORD_AUX with PERF_AUX_FLAG_OVERWRITE set is written to the perf data stream every time an event writes new data to the AUX area. The pmu driver might not be able to infer the exact beginning of the new data in each snapshot, some drivers will only provide the tail, which is aux_offset + aux_size in the AUX record. Consumer has to be able to tell the new data from the old one, for example, by means of time stamps if such are provided in the trace. Consumer is also responsible for disabling any events that might write to the AUX area (thus potentially racing with the consumer) before collecting the data.

perf: Synchronously free aux pages in case of allocation failure We are currently using asynchronous deallocation in the error path in AUX mmap code, which is unnecessary and also presents a problem for users that wish to probe for the biggest possible buffer size they can get: they'll get -EINVAL on all subsequent attemts to allocate a smaller buffer before the asynchronous deallocation callback frees up the pages from the previous unsuccessful attempt. Currently, gdb does that for allocating AUX buffers for Intel PT traces. More specifically, overwrite mode of AUX pmus that don't support hardware sg (some implementations of Intel PT, for instance) is limited to only one contiguous high order allocation for its buffer and there is no way of knowing its size without trying. This patch changes error path freeing to be synchronous as there won't be any contenders for the AUX pages at that point.

perf: Add AUX area to ring buffer for raw data streams This patch introduces "AUX space" in the perf mmap buffer, intended for exporting high bandwidth data streams to userspace, such as instruction flow traces. AUX space is a ring buffer, defined by aux_{offset,size} fields in the user_page structure, and read/write pointers aux_{head,tail}, which abide by the same rules as data_* counterparts of the main perf buffer. In order to allocate/mmap AUX, userspace needs to set up aux_offset to such an offset that will be greater than data_offset+data_size and aux_size to be the desired buffer size. Both need to be page aligned. Then, same aux_offset and aux_size should be passed to mmap() call and if everything adds up, you should have an AUX buffer as a result. Pages that are mapped into this buffer also come out of user's mlock rlimit plus perf_event_mlock_kb allowance.
