Back in January I posted patches to create function based events. These were
the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to easily create
events in code where no trace event exists. After posting those changes for
review, it was suggested that we implement this instead with kprobes.
The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and needs to
be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and I've been
playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in the kprobe code
that was inspired by the function based event patches, and a couple of
enhancements to the kprobe event interface.
- If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a
kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc
to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to know
what register or where on the stack the argument was).
- The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you reference
a mac address, you can add:
echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' > kprobe_events
And this will produce:
mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec}
Other changes include
- Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules
- Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove
tracing itself, as we keep removing too much).
- Added support for SDT in uprobes

Some of the scheduling tracepoints allow the perf_tp_event
code to write to ring buffer under different cpu than the
code is running on.
This results in corrupted ring buffer data demonstrated in
following perf commands:
# perf record -e 'sched:sched_switch,sched:sched_wakeup' perf bench sched messaging
# Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
# 20 sender and receiver processes per group
# 10 groups == 400 processes run
Total time: 0.383 [sec]
[ perf record: Woken up 8 times to write data ]
0x42b890 [0]: failed to process type: -1765585640
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.825 MB perf.data (29669 samples) ]
# perf report --stdio
0x42b890 [0]: failed to process type: -1765585640
The reason for the corruption are some of the scheduling tracepoints,
that have __perf_task dfined and thus allow to store data to another
cpu ring buffer:
sched_waking
sched_wakeup
sched_wakeup_new
sched_stat_wait
sched_stat_sleep
sched_stat_iowait
sched_stat_blocked
The perf_tp_event function first store samples for current cpu
related events defined for tracepoint:
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(event, head, hlist_entry)
perf_swevent_event(event, count, &data, regs);
And then iterates events of the 'task' and store the sample
for any task's event that passes tracepoint checks:
ctx = rcu_dereference(task->perf_event_ctxp[perf_sw_context]);
list_for_each_entry_rcu(event, &ctx->event_list, event_entry) {
if (event->attr.type != PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT)
continue;
if (event->attr.config != entry->type)
continue;
perf_swevent_event(event, count, &data, regs);
}
Above code can race with same code running on another cpu,
ending up with 2 cpus trying to store under the same ring
buffer, which is specifically not allowed.
This patch prevents the problem, by allowing only events with the same
current cpu to receive the event.
NOTE: this requires the use of (per-task-)per-cpu buffers for this
feature to work; perf-record does this.

Perf can record user stack data in response to a synchronous request, such
as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), then we
end up reading user stack data using __copy_from_user_inatomic() under
set_fs(KERNEL_DS). I think this conflicts with the intention of using
set_fs(KERNEL_DS). And it is explicitly forbidden by hardware on ARM64
when both CONFIG_ARM64_UAO and CONFIG_ARM64_PAN are used.
So fix this by forcing USER_DS when recording user stack data.

This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.
This set of changes is split into several parts:
- The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
something only for very special cases. The part starts using
PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
of processes or just a single process.
- With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
appear to be received after the fork completes"

It is useful to get the running time of a thread. Doing so in an
efficient manner can be important for performance of user applications.
Avoiding system calls in `clock_gettime` when handling
CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID is important. Other clocks are handled in the
VDSO, but CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID falls back on the system call.
CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID is not handled in the VDSO since it would have
costs associated with maintaining updated user space accessible time
offsets. These offsets have to be updated everytime the a thread is
scheduled/descheduled. However, for programs regularly checking the
running time of a thread, this is a performance improvement.
This patch takes a middle ground, and adds support for cap_user_time an
optional feature of the perf_event API. This way costs are only
incurred when the perf_event api is enabled. This is done the same way
as it is in x86.
Ultimately this allows calculating the thread running time in userspace
on aarch64 as follows (adapted from perf_event_open manpage):
u32 seq, time_mult, time_shift;
u64 running, count, time_offset, quot, rem, delta;
struct perf_event_mmap_page *pc;
pc = buf; // buf is the perf event mmaped page as documented in the API.
if (pc->cap_usr_time) {
do {
seq = pc->lock;
barrier();
running = pc->time_running;
count = readCNTVCT_EL0(); // Read ARM hardware clock.
time_offset = pc->time_offset;
time_mult = pc->time_mult;
time_shift = pc->time_shift;
barrier();
} while (pc->lock != seq);
quot = (count >> time_shift);
rem = count & (((u64)1 << time_shift) - 1);
delta = time_offset + quot * time_mult +
((rem * time_mult) >> time_shift);
running += delta;
// running now has the current nanosecond level thread time.
}
Summary of changes in the patch:
For aarch64 systems, make arch_perf_update_userpage update the timing
information stored in the perf_event page. Requiring the following
calculations:
- Calculate the appropriate time_mult, and time_shift factors to convert
ticks to nano seconds for the current clock frequency.
- Adjust the mult and shift factors to avoid shift factors of 32 bits.
(possibly unnecessary)
- The time_offset userspace should apply when doing calculations:
negative the current sched time (now), because time_running and
time_enabled fields of the perf_event page have just been updated.
Toggle bits to appropriate values:
- Enable cap_user_time

And where the previous unwinder only needed BP,SP ORC also requires
IP. But we cannot spoof IP because then the sample will get displaced,
entirely negating the point of PEBS.
So cure the whole thing differently by doing the unwind early; this
does however require a means to communicate we did the unwind early.
We (ab)use an unused sample_type bit for this, which we set on events
that fill out the data->callchain before the normal
perf_prepare_sample().

Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and
a tasks tgid (thread group id). Even in the enumeration we want that
distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID. With leader_pid
we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct.
Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and
into the pids array. Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the
leader_pid in signal_struct.
The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and
an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct.
The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special
cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as
PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest. The long term potential
is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove
a lot more special cases in the code.

As Miklos reported and suggested:
"This pattern repeats two times in trace_uprobe.c and in
kernel/events/core.c as well:
ret = kern_path(filename, LOOKUP_FOLLOW, &path);
if (ret)
goto fail_address_parse;
inode = igrab(d_inode(path.dentry));
path_put(&path);
And it's wrong. You can only hold a reference to the inode if you
have an active ref to the superblock as well (which is normally
through path.mnt) or holding s_umount.
This way unmounting the containing filesystem while the tracepoint is
active will give you the "VFS: Busy inodes after unmount..." message
and a crash when the inode is finally put.
Solution: store path instead of inode."
This patch fixes the issue in kernel/event/core.c.

When hw and sw events are mixed in the same group, they are all attached
to the hw perf_event_context. This sometimes requires moving group of
perf_event to a different context.
We found a bug in how the kernel handles this, for example if we do:
perf stat -e '{faults,ref-cycles,faults}' -I 1000
1.005591180 1,297 faults
1.005591180 457,476,576 ref-cycles
1.005591180 <not supported> faults
First, sw event "faults" is attached to the sw context, and becomes the
group leader. Then, hw event "ref-cycles" is attached, so both events
are moved to the hw context. Last, another sw "faults" tries to attach,
but it fails because of mismatch between the new target ctx (from sw
pmu) and the group_leader's ctx (hw context, same as ref-cycles).
The broken condition is:
group_leader is sw event;
group_leader is on hw context;
add a sw event to the group.
Fix this scenario by checking group_leader's context (instead of just
event type). If group_leader is on hw context, use the ->pmu of this
context to look up context for the new event.

This is a cosmetic patch that deals with the address filter structure's
ambiguous fields 'filter' and 'range'. The former stands to mean that the
filter's *action* should be to filter the traces to its address range if
it's set or stop tracing if it's unset. This is confusing and hard on the
eyes, so this patch replaces it with 'action' enum. The 'range' field is
completely redundant (meaning that the filter is an address range as
opposed to a single address trigger), as we can use zero size to mean the
same thing.

When a perf_event is attached to parent cgroup, it should count events
for all children cgroups:
parent_group <---- perf_event
\
- child_group <---- process(es)
However, in our tests, we found this perf_event cannot report reliable
results. Here is an example case:
# create cgroups
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c
# start perf for parent group
perf stat -e instructions -G "p"
# on another console, run test process in child cgroup:
stressapptest -s 2 -M 1000 & echo $! > /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c/cgroup.procs
# after the test process is done, stop perf in the first console shows
<not counted> instructions p
The instruction should not be "not counted" as the process runs in the
child cgroup.
We found this is because perf_event->cgrp and cpuctx->cgrp are not
identical, thus perf_event->cgrp are not updated properly.
This patch fixes this by updating perf_cgroup properly for ancestor
cgroup(s).

When perf_group_dettach() is called on a group leader, it updates each
sibling's group_leader field to point to that sibling, effectively
upgrading each siblnig to a group leader. After perf_group_detach has
completed, the caller may free the leader event.
We only remove siblings from the group leader's sibling_list when the
leader has a non-empty group_node. This was fine prior to commit:
8343aae661 ("perf/core: Remove perf_event::group_entry")
... as the sibling's sibling_list would be empty. However, now that we
use the sibling_list field as both the list head and the list entry,
this leaves each sibling with a non-empty sibling list, including the
stale leader event.
If perf_group_detach() is subsequently called on a sibling, it will
appear to be a group leader, and we'll walk the sibling_list,
potentially dereferencing these stale events. In 0day testing, this has
been observed to result in kernel panics.
Let's avoid this by always removing siblings from the sibling list when
we promote them to leaders.

Problem and motivation: Once a breakpoint perf event (PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT)
is created, there is no flexibility to change the breakpoint type
(bp_type), breakpoint address (bp_addr), or breakpoint length (bp_len). The
only option is to close the perf event and configure a new breakpoint
event. This inflexibility has a significant performance overhead. For
example, sampling-based, lightweight performance profilers (and also
concurrency bug detection tools), monitor different addresses for a short
duration using PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT and change the address (bp_addr) to
another address or change the kind of breakpoint (bp_type) from "write" to
a "read" or vice-versa or change the length (bp_len) of the address being
monitored. The cost of these modifications is prohibitive since it involves
unmapping the circular buffer associated with the perf event, closing the
perf event, opening another perf event and mmaping another circular buffer.
Solution: The new ioctl flag for perf events,
PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES, introduced in this patch takes a pointer
to a struct perf_event_attr as an argument to update an old breakpoint
event with new address, type, and size. This facility allows retaining a
previous mmaped perf events ring buffer and avoids having to close and
reopen another perf event.
This patch supports only changing PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event type; future
implementations can extend this feature. The patch replicates some of its
functionality of modify_user_hw_breakpoint() in
kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c. modify_user_hw_breakpoint cannot be called
directly since perf_event_ctx_lock() is already held in _perf_ioctl().
Evidence: Experiments show that the baseline (not able to modify an already
created breakpoint) costs an order of magnitude (~10x) more than the
suggested optimization (having the ability to dynamically modifying a
configured breakpoint via ioctl). When the breakpoints typically do not
trap, the speedup due to the suggested optimization is ~10x; even when the
breakpoints always trap, the speedup is ~4x due to the suggested
optimization.
Testing: tests posted at
https://github.com/linux-contrib/perf_event_modify_bp demonstrate the
performance significance of this patch. Tests also check the functional
correctness of the patch.

There's two problems when installing cgroup events on CPUs: firstly
list_update_cgroup_event() only tries to set cpuctx->cgrp for the
first event, if that mismatches on @cgrp we'll not try again for later
additions.
Secondly, when we install a cgroup event into an active context, only
issue an event reprogram when the event matches the current cgroup
context. This avoids a pointless event reprogramming.

The event schedule order (as per perf_event_sched_in()) is:
- cpu pinned
- task pinned
- cpu flexible
- task flexible
But perf_rotate_context() will unschedule cpu-flexible even if it
doesn't need a rotation.

Similar to how first programming cpu=-1 and then cpu=# is wrong, so is
rotating both. It was especially wrong when we were still programming
the PMU in this same order, because in that scenario we might never
actually end up running cpu=# events at all.
Cure this by using the active_list to pick the rotation event; since
at programming we already select the left-most event.

When an event group contains more events than can be scheduled on the
hardware, iterating the full event group for ctx_sched_out is a waste
of time.
Keep track of the events that got programmed on the hardware, such
that we can iterate this smaller list in order to schedule them out.

Scheduling in events with cpu=-1 before events with cpu=# changes
semantics and is undesirable in that it would priorize these events.
Given that groups->index is across all groups we actually have an
inter-group ordering, meaning we can merge-sort two groups, which is
just what we need to preserve semantics.

Change event groups into RB trees sorted by CPU and then by a 64bit
index, so that multiplexing hrtimer interrupt handler would be able
skipping to the current CPU's list and ignore groups allocated for the
other CPUs.
New API for manipulating event groups in the trees is implemented as well
as adoption on the API in the current implementation.
pinned_group_sched_in() and flexible_group_sched_in() API are
introduced to consolidate code enabling the whole group from pinned
and flexible groups appropriately.

Mark reported his arm64 perf fuzzer runs sometimes splat like:
armv8pmu_read_counter+0x1e8/0x2d8
armpmu_event_update+0x8c/0x188
armpmu_read+0xc/0x18
perf_output_read+0x550/0x11e8
perf_event_read_event+0x1d0/0x248
perf_event_exit_task+0x468/0xbb8
do_exit+0x690/0x1310
do_group_exit+0xd0/0x2b0
get_signal+0x2e8/0x17a8
do_signal+0x144/0x4f8
do_notify_resume+0x148/0x1e8
work_pending+0x8/0x14
which asserts that we only call pmu::read() on ACTIVE events.
The above callchain does:
perf_event_exit_task()
perf_event_exit_task_context()
task_ctx_sched_out() // INACTIVE
perf_event_exit_event()
perf_event_set_state(EXIT) // EXIT
sync_child_event()
perf_event_read_event()
perf_output_read()
perf_output_read_group()
leader->pmu->read()
Which results in doing a pmu::read() on an !ACTIVE event.
I _think_ this is 'new' since we added attr.inherit_stat, which added
the perf_event_read_event() to the exit path, without that
perf_event_read_output() would only trigger from samples and for
@event to trigger a sample, it's leader _must_ be ACTIVE too.
Still, adding this check makes it consistent with the @sub case for
the siblings.

In ctx_resched(), EVENT_FLEXIBLE should be sched_out when EVENT_PINNED is
added. However, ctx_resched() calculates ctx_event_type before checking
this condition. As a result, pinned events will NOT get higher priority
than flexible events.
The following shows this issue on an Intel CPU (where ref-cycles can
only use one hardware counter).
1. First start:
perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles -I 1000
2. Then, in the second console, run:
perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles:D -I 1000
The second perf uses pinned events, which is expected to have higher
priority. However, because it failed in ctx_resched(). It is never
run.
This patch fixes this by calculating ctx_event_type after re-evaluating
event_type.

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:
for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done
with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.
The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.
