powerpc/perf: Remove PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag for Power8

2020-05-05T17:13:24+00:00

commit 370f06c88528b3988fe24a372c10e1303bb94cf6 upstream.

Commit 7a7868326d77 ("powerpc/perf: Add an explict flag indicating
presence of SLOT field") introduced the PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag to remove
the assumption that MMCRA[SLOT] was present when PPMU_ALT_SIPR was not
set.

That commit's changelog also mentions that Power8 does not support
MMCRA[SLOT]. However when the Power8 PMU support was merged, it
errnoeously included the PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag.

So remove PPMU_HAS_SSLOT from the Power8 flags.

mpe: On systems where MMCRA[SLOT] exists, the field occupies bits 37:39
(IBM numbering). On Power8 bit 37 is reserved, and 38:39 overlap with
the high bits of the Threshold Event Counter Mantissa. I am not aware of
any published events which use the threshold counting mechanism, which
would cause the mantissa bits to be set. So in practice this bug is
unlikely to trigger.

powerpc/perf: Fix kernel address leak via sampling registers

2018-05-30T05:49:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit e1ebd0e5b9d0a10ba65e63a3514b6da8c6a5a819 ]

Current code in power_pmu_disable() does not clear the sampling
registers like Sampling Instruction Address Register (SIAR) and
Sampling Data Address Register (SDAR) after disabling the PMU. Since
these are userspace readable and could contain kernel addresses, add
code to explicitly clear the content of these registers.

Also add a "context synchronizing instruction" to enforce no further
updates to these registers as suggested by Power ISA v3.0B. From
section 9.4, on page 1108:

  "If an mtspr instruction is executed that changes the value of a
  Performance Monitor register other than SIAR, SDAR, and SIER, the
  change is not guaranteed to have taken effect until after a
  subsequent context synchronizing instruction has been executed (see
  Chapter 11. "Synchronization Requirements for Context Alterations"
  on page 1133)."

powerpc/perf: Prevent kernel address leak to userspace via BHRB buffer

2018-05-30T05:49:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit bb19af816025d495376bd76bf6fbcf4244f9a06d ]

The current Branch History Rolling Buffer (BHRB) code does not check
for any privilege levels before updating the data from BHRB. This
could leak kernel addresses to userspace even when profiling only with
userspace privileges. Add proper checks to prevent it.

powerpc/perf: Fix oops when grouping different pmu events

2018-02-25T10:03:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5aa04b3eb6fca63d2e9827be656dcadc26d54e11 ]

When user tries to group imc (In-Memory Collections) event with
normal event, (sometime) kernel crashes with following log:

    Faulting instruction address: 0x00000000
    [link register   ] c00000000010ce88 power_check_constraints+0x128/0x980

    c00000000000b004 system_call+0x38/0xe0

'event_base' field of 'struct hw_perf_event' is used as flags for
normal hw events and used as memory address for imc events. While
grouping these two types of events, collect_events() tries to
interpret imc 'event_base' as a flag, which causes a corruption
resulting in a crash.

Consider only those events which belongs to 'perf_hw_context' in
collect_events().

powerpc/perf: Dereference BHRB entries safely

2018-01-02T19:33:21+00:00

commit f41d84dddc66b164ac16acf3f584c276146f1c48 upstream.

It's theoretically possible that branch instructions recorded in
BHRB (Branch History Rolling Buffer) entries have already been
unmapped before they are processed by the kernel. Hence, trying to
dereference such memory location will result in a crash. eg:

    Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xd000000019c41764
    Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000084a14

    [c000000000009ba4] performance_monitor_common+0x114/0x120

Fix it by deferefencing the addresses safely.

powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Fix incorrect comparison in memord

2017-12-20T09:05:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 05c14c03138532a3cb2aa29c2960445c8753343b ]

In the hv-24x7 code there is a function memord() which tries to
implement a sort function return -1, 0, 1. However one of the
conditions is incorrect, such that it can never be true, because we
will have already returned.

I don't believe there is a bug in practice though, because the
comparisons are an optimisation prior to calling memcmp().

Fix it by swapping the second comparision, so it can be true.

perf/powerpc: Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL

The patch catches PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL because it is not clear whether
this is actually supported by the hardware.

powerpc/mm: Differentiate between hugetlb and THP during page walk

2015-10-12T04:30:09+00:00

We need to properly identify whether a hugepage is an explicit or
a transparent hugepage in follow_huge_addr(). We used to depend
on hugepage shift argument to do that. But in some case that can
result in wrong results. For ex:

On finding a transparent hugepage we set hugepage shift to PMD_SHIFT.
But we can end up clearing the thp pte, via pmdp_huge_get_and_clear.
We do prevent reusing the pfn page via the usage of
kick_all_cpus_sync(). But that happens after we updated the pte to 0.
Hence in follow_huge_addr() we can find hugepage shift set, but transparent
huge page check fail for a thp pte.

NOTE: We fixed a variant of this race against thp split in commit
691e95fd7396905a38d98919e9c150dbc3ea21a3
("powerpc/mm/thp: Make page table walk safe against thp split/collapse")

Without this patch, we may hit the BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET) in
follow_page_mask occasionally.

In the long term, we may want to switch ppc64 64k page size config to
enable CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB

perf/core: Drop PERF_EVENT_TXN

2015-09-13T09:27:30+00:00

We currently use PERF_EVENT_TXN flag to determine if we are in the middle
of a transaction. If in a transaction, we defer the schedulability checks
from pmu->add() operation to the pmu->commit() operation.

Now that we have "transaction types" (PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ)
we can use the type to determine if we are in a transaction and drop the
PERF_EVENT_TXN flag.

When PERF_EVENT_TXN is dropped, the cpuhw->group_flag on some architectures
becomes unused, so drop that field as well.

This is an extension of the Powerpc patch from Peter Zijlstra to s390,
Sparc and x86 architectures.
