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.

This happens because the first perf_event_open() managed to reserve a HW
breakpoint slot, however, later fails for other reasons and returns. The
second perf_event_open() runs concurrently, and during rhltable_lookup()
looks up an entry which is being freed: since rhltable_lookup() may run
concurrently (under the RCU read lock) with rhltable_remove(), we may
end up with a stale entry, for which memory may also have already been
freed when being accessed.
To fix, only free the failed perf_event after an RCU grace period. This
allows subsystems that store references to an event to always access it
concurrently under the RCU read lock, even if initialization will fail.
Given failure is unlikely and a slow-path, turning the immediate free
into a call_rcu()-wrapped free does not affect performance elsewhere.

Ie. snprintf() returns what *would* be the resulting length,

While auditing 6b959ba22d ("perf/core: Fix reentry problem in
perf_output_read_group()") a few spots were found that wanted
assertions.
Notable for_each_sibling_event() relies on exclusion from
modification. This would normally be holding either ctx->lock or
ctx->mutex, however due to how things are constructed disabling IRQs
is a valid and sufficient substitute for ctx->lock.
Another possible site to add assertions would be the various
pmu::{add,del,read,..}() methods, but that's not trivially expressable
in C -- the best option is wrappers, but those are easy enough to
forget.

Besides the branch type filtering requests, 'event.attr.branch_sample_type'
also contains various flags indicating which additional information should
be captured, along with the base branch record. These flags help configure
the underlying hardware, and capture the branch records appropriately when
required e.g after PMU interrupt. But first, this moves an existing helper
perf_sample_save_hw_index() into the header before adding some more helpers
for other branch sample filter flags.

On some platforms, some data e.g., timestamps, can be retrieved from
the PMU driver. Usually, the data from the PMU driver is more accurate.
The current perf kernel should output the PMU-filled sample data if
it's available.
To check the availability of the PMU-filled sample data, the current
perf kernel initializes the related fields in the
perf_sample_data_init(). When outputting a sample, the perf checks
whether the field is updated by the PMU driver. If yes, the updated
value will be output. If not, the perf uses an SW way to calculate the
value or just outputs the initialized value if an SW way is unavailable
either.
With more and more data being provided by the PMU driver, more fields
has to be initialized in the perf_sample_data_init(). That will
increase the number of cache lines touched in perf_sample_data_init()
and be harmful to the performance.
Add new "sample_flags" to indicate the PMU-filled sample data. The PMU
driver should set the corresponding PERF_SAMPLE_ flag when the field is
updated. The initialization of the corresponding field is not required
anymore. The following patches will make use of it and remove the
corresponding fields from the perf_sample_data_init(), which will
further minimize the number of cache lines touched.
Only clear the sample flags that have already been done by the PMU
driver in the perf_prepare_sample() for the PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE. For the
other PERF_RECORD_ event type, the sample data is not available.

if (event->rb) {
...
if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&e->rb->mmap_count)) {
...
mutex_unlock(&e->mmap_mutex);
goto again;
}
}
The loop in perf_mmap_close() holds e2->mmap_mutex, while the attach
in perf_event_set_output() holds e1->mmap_mutex. As such there is no
serialization to avoid this race.
Change perf_event_set_output() to take both e1->mmap_mutex and
e2->mmap_mutex to alleviate that problem. Additionally, have the loop
in perf_mmap() detach the rb directly, this avoids having to wait for
the concurrent perf_mmap_close() to get around to doing it to make
progress.

Sometimes we want to know an accurate number of samples even if it's
lost. Currenlty PERF_RECORD_LOST is generated for a ring-buffer which
might be shared with other events. So it's hard to know per-event
lost count.
Add event->lost_samples field and PERF_FORMAT_LOST to retrieve it from
userspace.

uprobe and kprobe programs have the same program type, KPROBE, which is
currently not allowed to load sleepable programs.
To avoid adding a new UPROBE type, instead allow sleepable KPROBE
programs to load and defer the is-it-actually-a-uprobe-program check
to attachment time, where there's already validation of the
corresponding perf_event.
A corollary of this patch is that you can now load a sleepable kprobe
program but cannot attach it.

handler when this happens:

Norbert reported that it's possible to race sys_perf_event_open() such
that the looser ends up in another context from the group leader,
triggering many WARNs.
The move_group case checks for races against itself, but the
!move_group case doesn't, seemingly relying on the previous
group_leader->ctx == ctx check. However, that check is racy due to not
holding any locks at that time.
Therefore, re-check the result after acquiring locks and bailing
if they no longer match.
Additionally, clarify the not_move_group case from the
move_group-vs-move_group race.

With SIGTRAP on perf events, we have encountered termination of
processes due to user space attempting to block delivery of SIGTRAP.
Consider this case:
<set up SIGTRAP on a perf event>
...
sigset_t s;
sigemptyset(&s);
sigaddset(&s, SIGTRAP | <and others>);
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &s, ...);
...
<perf event triggers>
When the perf event triggers, while SIGTRAP is blocked, force_sig_perf()
will force the signal, but revert back to the default handler, thus
terminating the task.
This makes sense for error conditions, but not so much for explicitly
requested monitoring. However, the expectation is still that signals
generated by perf events are synchronous, which will no longer be the
case if the signal is blocked and delivered later.
To give user space the ability to clearly distinguish synchronous from
asynchronous signals, introduce siginfo_t::si_perf_flags and
TRAP_PERF_FLAG_ASYNC (opted for flags in case more binary information is
required in future).
The resolution to the problem is then to (a) no longer force the signal
(avoiding the terminations), but (b) tell user space via si_perf_flags
if the signal was synchronous or not, so that such signals can be
handled differently (e.g. let user space decide to ignore or consider
the data imprecise).
The alternative of making the kernel ignore SIGTRAP on perf events if
the signal is blocked may work for some usecases, but likely causes
issues in others that then have to revert back to interception of
sigprocmask() (which we want to avoid). [ A concrete example: when using
breakpoint perf events to track data-flow, in a region of code where
signals are blocked, data-flow can no longer be tracked accurately.
When a relevant asynchronous signal is received after unblocking the
signal, the data-flow tracking logic needs to know its state is
imprecise. ]

This problem can be reproduced with CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC enabled on
both x86_64 and aarch64 arch when using sysdig -B(using ebpf)[1].
sysdig -B works fine after rebuilding the kernel with
CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC disabled.
I tracked it down to the if condition event->rb->nr_pages != nr_pages
in perf_mmap is true when CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC is enabled where
event->rb->nr_pages = 1 and nr_pages = 2048 resulting perf_mmap to
return -EINVAL. This is because when CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC is
enabled, rb->nr_pages is always equal to 1.

There is a race problem that can trigger WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx->cgrp)
in perf_cgroup_switch().
CPU1 CPU2
perf_cgroup_sched_out(prev, next)
cgrp1 = perf_cgroup_from_task(prev)
cgrp2 = perf_cgroup_from_task(next)
if (cgrp1 != cgrp2)
perf_cgroup_switch(prev, PERF_CGROUP_SWOUT)
cgroup_migrate_execute()
task->cgroups = ?
perf_cgroup_attach()
task_function_call(task, __perf_cgroup_move)
perf_cgroup_sched_in(prev, next)
cgrp1 = perf_cgroup_from_task(prev)
cgrp2 = perf_cgroup_from_task(next)
if (cgrp1 != cgrp2)
perf_cgroup_switch(next, PERF_CGROUP_SWIN)
__perf_cgroup_move()
perf_cgroup_switch(task, PERF_CGROUP_SWOUT | PERF_CGROUP_SWIN)
The commit a8d757ef07 ("perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup
context switch code") want to skip perf_cgroup_switch() when the
perf_cgroup of "prev" and "next" are the same.
But task->cgroups can change in concurrent with context_switch()
in cgroup_migrate_execute(). If cgrp1 == cgrp2 in sched_out(),
cpuctx won't do sched_out. Then task->cgroups changed cause
cgrp1 != cgrp2 in sched_in(), cpuctx will do sched_in. So trigger
WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx->cgrp).
Even though __perf_cgroup_move() will be synchronized as the context
switch disables the interrupt, context_switch() still can see the
task->cgroups is changing in the middle, since task->cgroups changed
before sending IPI.
So we have to combine perf_cgroup_sched_in() into perf_cgroup_sched_out(),
unified into perf_cgroup_switch(), to fix the incosistency between
perf_cgroup_sched_out() and perf_cgroup_sched_in().
But we can't just compare prev->cgroups with next->cgroups to decide
whether to skip cpuctx sched_out/in since the prev->cgroups is changing
too. For example:
CPU1 CPU2
cgroup_migrate_execute()
prev->cgroups = ?
perf_cgroup_attach()
task_function_call(task, __perf_cgroup_move)
perf_cgroup_switch(task)
cgrp1 = perf_cgroup_from_task(prev)
cgrp2 = perf_cgroup_from_task(next)
if (cgrp1 != cgrp2)
cpuctx sched_out/in ...
task_function_call() will return -ESRCH
In the above example, prev->cgroups changing cause (cgrp1 == cgrp2)
to be true, so skip cpuctx sched_out/in. And later task_function_call()
would return -ESRCH since the prev task isn't running on cpu anymore.
So we would leave perf_events of the old prev->cgroups still sched on
the CPU, which is wrong.
The solution is that we should use cpuctx->cgrp to compare with
the next task's perf_cgroup. Since cpuctx->cgrp can only be changed
on local CPU, and we have irq disabled, we can read cpuctx->cgrp to
compare without holding ctx lock.

The current code pass task around for ctx_sched_in(), only

But we can use cpuctx->cgrp to get active perf_cgroup and

It was reported that some perf event setup can make fork failed on
ARM64. It was the case of a group of mixed hw and sw events and it
failed in perf_event_init_task() due to armpmu_event_init().
The ARM PMU code checks if all the events in a group belong to the
same PMU except for software events. But it didn't set the event_caps
of inherited events and no longer identify them as software events.
Therefore the test failed in a child process.
A simple reproducer is:
$ perf stat -e '{cycles,cs,instructions}' perf bench sched messaging
# Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
perf: fork(): Invalid argument
The perf stat was fine but the perf bench failed in fork(). Let's
inherit the event caps from the parent.

The intent has always been that perf_event_attr::sig_data should also be
modifiable along with PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES, because it is
observable by user space if SIGTRAP on events is requested.
Currently only PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT is modifiable, and explicitly copies
relevant breakpoint-related attributes in hw_breakpoint_copy_attr().
This misses copying perf_event_attr::sig_data.
Since sig_data is not specific to PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT, introduce a
helper to copy generic event-type-independent attributes on
modification.

The active cgroup events are managed in the per-cpu cgrp_cpuctx_list.
This list is only accessed from current cpu and not protected by any
locks. But from the commit ef54c1a476 ("perf: Rework
perf_event_exit_event()"), it's possible to access (actually modify)
the list from another cpu.
In the perf_remove_from_context(), it can remove an event from the
context without an IPI when the context is not active. This is not
safe with cgroup events which can have some active events in the
context even if ctx->is_active is 0 at the moment. The target cpu
might be in the middle of list iteration at the same time.
If the event is enabled when it's about to be closed, it might call
perf_cgroup_event_disable() and list_del() with the cgrp_cpuctx_list
on a different cpu.
This resulted in a crash due to an invalid list pointer access during
the cgroup list traversal on the cpu which the event belongs to.
Let's fallback to IPI to access the cgrp_cpuctx_list from that cpu.
Similarly, perf_install_in_context() should use IPI for the cgroup
events too.

When using per-process mode and event inheritance is set to true,
forked processes will create a new perf events via inherit_event() ->
perf_event_alloc(). But these events will not have ring buffers
assigned to them. Any call to wakeup will be dropped if it's called on
an event with no ring buffer assigned because that's the object that
holds the wakeup list.
If the child event is disabled due to a call to
perf_aux_output_begin() or perf_aux_output_end(), the wakeup is
dropped leaving userspace hanging forever on the poll.
Normally the event is explicitly re-enabled by userspace after it
wakes up to read the aux data, but in this case it does not get woken
up so the event remains disabled.
This can be reproduced when using Arm SPE and 'stress' which forks once
before running the workload. By looking at the list of aux buffers read,
it's apparent that they stop after the fork:
perf record -e arm_spe// -vvv -- stress -c 1
With this patch applied they continue to be printed. This behaviour
doesn't happen when using systemwide or per-cpu mode.

Time readers that cannot take locks (due to NMI etc..) currently make
use of perf_event::shadow_ctx_time, which, for that event gives:
time' = now + (time - timestamp)
or, alternatively arranged:
time' = time + (now - timestamp)
IOW, the progression of time since the last time the shadow_ctx_time
was updated.
There's problems with this:
A) the shadow_ctx_time is per-event, even though the ctx_time it
reflects is obviously per context. The direct concequence of this
is that the context needs to iterate all events all the time to
keep the shadow_ctx_time in sync.
B) even with the prior point, the context itself might not be active
meaning its time should not advance to begin with.
C) shadow_ctx_time isn't consistently updated when ctx_time is
There are 3 users of this stuff, that suffer differently from this:
- calc_timer_values()
- perf_output_read()
- perf_event_update_userpage() /* A */
- perf_event_read_local() /* A,B */
In particular, perf_output_read() doesn't suffer at all, because it's
sample driven and hence only relevant when the event is actually
running.
This same was supposed to be true for perf_event_update_userpage(),
after all self-monitoring implies the context is active *HOWEVER*, as
per commit f792565326 ("perf/core: fix userpage->time_enabled of
inactive events") this goes wrong when combined with counter
overcommit, in that case those events that do not get scheduled when
the context becomes active (task events typically) miss out on the
EVENT_TIME update and ENABLED time is inflated (for a little while)
with the time the context was inactive. Once the event gets rotated
in, this gets corrected, leading to a non-monotonic timeflow.
perf_event_read_local() made things even worse, it can request time at
any point, suffering all the problems perf_event_update_userpage()
does and more. Because while perf_event_update_userpage() is limited
by the context being active, perf_event_read_local() users have no
such constraint.
Therefore, completely overhaul things and do away with
perf_event::shadow_ctx_time. Instead have regular context time updates
keep track of this offset directly and provide perf_event_time_now()
to complement perf_event_time().
perf_event_time_now() will, in adition to being context wide, also
take into account if the context is active. For inactive context, it
will not advance time.
This latter property means the cgroup perf_cgroup_info context needs
to grow addition state to track this.
Additionally, since all this is strictly per-cpu, we can use barrier()
to order context activity vs context time.
