perf/core: Fix perf_sample_regs_user() mm check

2019-07-21T07:07:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 085ebfe937d7a7a5df1729f35a12d6d655fea68c ]

perf_sample_regs_user() uses 'current->mm' to test for the presence of
userspace, but this is insufficient, consider use_mm().

A better test is: '!(current->flags & PF_KTHREAD)', exec() clears
PF_KTHREAD after it sets the new ->mm but before it drops to userspace
for the first time.

Possibly obsoletes: bf05fc25f268 ("powerpc/perf: Fix oops when kthread execs user process")

perf/ring_buffer: Add ordering to rb->nest increment

2019-06-22T06:18:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3f9fbe9bd86c534eba2faf5d840fd44c6049f50e ]

Similar to how decrementing rb->next too early can cause data_head to
(temporarily) be observed to go backward, so too can this happen when
we increment too late.

This barrier() ensures the rb->head load happens after the increment,
both the one in the 'goto again' path, as the one from
perf_output_get_handle() -- albeit very unlikely to matter for the
latter.

perf/ring_buffer: Fix exposing a temporarily decreased data_head

2019-06-22T06:18:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1b038c6e05ff70a1e66e3e571c2e6106bdb75f53 ]

In perf_output_put_handle(), an IRQ/NMI can happen in below location and
write records to the same ring buffer:

	...
	local_dec_and_test(&rb->nest)
	...                          <-- an IRQ/NMI can happen here
	rb->user_page->data_head = head;
	...

In this case, a value A is written to data_head in the IRQ, then a value
B is written to data_head after the IRQ. And A > B. As a result,
data_head is temporarily decreased from A to B. And a reader may see
data_head < data_tail if it read the buffer frequently enough, which
creates unexpected behaviors.

This can be fixed by moving dec(&rb->nest) to after updating data_head,
which prevents the IRQ/NMI above from updating data_head.

perf/core: Restore mmap record type correctly

2019-04-27T07:33:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit d9c1bb2f6a2157b38e8eb63af437cb22701d31ee ]

On mmap(), perf_events generates a RECORD_MMAP record and then checks
which events are interested in this record. There are currently 2
versions of mmap records: RECORD_MMAP and RECORD_MMAP2. MMAP2 is larger.
The event configuration controls which version the user level tool
accepts.

If the event->attr.mmap2=1 field then MMAP2 record is returned.  The
perf_event_mmap_output() takes care of this. It checks attr->mmap2 and
corrects the record fields before putting it in the sampling buffer of
the event.  At the end the function restores the modified MMAP record
fields.

The problem is that the function restores the size but not the type.
Thus, if a subsequent event only accepts MMAP type, then it would
instead receive an MMAP2 record with a size of MMAP record.

This patch fixes the problem by restoring the record type on exit.

perf/ring_buffer: Refuse to begin AUX transaction after rb->aux_mmap_count drops

2019-04-03T04:23:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit dcb10a967ce82d5ad20570693091139ae716ff76 ]

When ring buffer's AUX area is unmapped and rb->aux_mmap_count drops to
zero, new AUX transactions into this buffer can still be started,
even though the buffer in en route to deallocation.

This patch adds a check to perf_aux_output_begin() for rb->aux_mmap_count
being zero, in which case there is no point starting new transactions,
in other words, the ring buffers that pass a certain point in
perf_mmap_close will not have their events sending new data, which
clears path for freeing those buffers' pages right there and then,
provided that no active transactions are holding the AUX reference.

perf: Synchronously free aux pages in case of allocation failure

2019-04-03T04:23:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 45c815f06b80031659c63d7b93e580015d6024dd ]

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/core: Fix impossible ring-buffer sizes warning

2019-02-20T09:13:22+00:00

commit 528871b456026e6127d95b1b2bd8e3a003dc1614 upstream.

The following commit:

  9dff0aa95a32 ("perf/core: Don't WARN() for impossible ring-buffer sizes")

results in perf recording failures with larger mmap areas:

  root@skl:/tmp# perf record -g -a
  failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)

The root cause is that the following condition is buggy:

	if (order_base_2(size) >= MAX_ORDER)
		goto fail;

The problem is that @size is in bytes and MAX_ORDER is in pages,
so the right test is:

	if (order_base_2(size) >= PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER)
		goto fail;

Fix it.

perf/core: Don't WARN() for impossible ring-buffer sizes

2019-02-20T09:13:17+00:00

commit 9dff0aa95a324e262ffb03f425d00e4751f3294e upstream.

The perf tool uses /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb to determine how
large its ringbuffer mmap should be. This can be configured to arbitrary
values, which can be larger than the maximum possible allocation from
kmalloc.

When this is configured to a suitably large value (e.g. thanks to the
perf fuzzer), attempting to use perf record triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() in
__alloc_pages_nodemask():

   WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 5666 at mm/page_alloc.c:4511 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x3f8/0xbc8

Let's avoid this by checking that the requested allocation is possible
before calling kzalloc.

mm: replace get_user_pages() write/force parameters with gup_flags

2018-12-17T20:55:16+00:00

commit 768ae309a96103ed02eb1e111e838c87854d8b51 upstream.

This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_user_pages() and replaces
them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers
as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs)
within the mm subsystem.

uprobes: Fix handle_swbp() vs. unregister() + register() race once more

2018-12-13T08:21:29+00:00

commit 09d3f015d1e1b4fee7e9bbdcf54201d239393391 upstream.

Commit:

  142b18ddc8143 ("uprobes: Fix handle_swbp() vs unregister() + register() race")

added the UPROBE_COPY_INSN flag, and corresponding smp_wmb() and smp_rmb()
memory barriers, to ensure that handle_swbp() uses fully-initialized
uprobes only.

However, the smp_rmb() is mis-placed: this barrier should be placed
after handle_swbp() has tested for the flag, thus guaranteeing that
(program-order) subsequent loads from the uprobe can see the initial
stores performed by prepare_uprobe().

Move the smp_rmb() accordingly.  Also amend the comments associated
to the two memory barriers to indicate their actual locations.
