2014-06-06perf: Differentiate exec() and non-exec() comm eventsAdrian Hunter1-2/+2
perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings, which generally works. However, there are other potential use-cases. For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process has exec'd. Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim (e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME). This patch adds a flag to the comm event to differentiate one case from the other. In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr. The bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit is set on kernels that do not have it defined.

2014-06-05perf: Fix use after free in perf_remove_from_context()Peter Zijlstra1-2/+2
While that mutex should guard the elements, it doesn't guard against the use-after-free that's from list_for_each_entry_rcu(). __perf_event_exit_task() can actually free the event. And because list addition/deletion is guarded by both ctx->mutex and ctx->lock, holding ctx->mutex is sufficient for reading the list, so we don't actually need the rcu list iteration.

2014-05-19perf: Fix a race between ring_buffer_detach() and ring_buffer_attach()Peter Zijlstra1-60/+49
Alexander noticed that we use RCU iteration on rb->event_list but do not use list_{add,del}_rcu() to add,remove entries to that list, nor do we observe proper grace periods when re-using the entries. Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching. Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request = PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed. This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace period, but the two cases: 1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer. This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however... 2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed (munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT. This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL) followed by the ioctl() doing: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo); and we still need to observe the grace period between these two calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head. In order to make 2 happen we use Paul's latest cond_synchronize_rcu() call.

2014-05-19perf: Prevent false warning in perf_swevent_addJiri Olsa1-1/+12
The perf cpu offline callback takes down all cpu context events and releases swhash->swevent_hlist. This could race with task context software event being just scheduled on this cpu via perf_swevent_add while cpu hotplug code already cleaned up event's data. The race happens in the gap between the cpu notifier code and the cpu being actually taken down. Note that only cpu ctx events are terminated in the perf cpu hotplug code. It's easily reproduced with: $ perf record -e faults perf bench sched pipe while putting one of the cpus offline: # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online Console emits following warning: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2845 at kernel/events/core.c:5672 perf_swevent_add+0x18d/0x1a0() Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 2845 Comm: sched-pipe Tainted: G W 3.14.0+ #256 Hardware name: Intel Corporation Montevina platform/To be filled by O.E.M., BIOS AMVACRB1.86C.0066.B00.0805070703 05/07/2008 0000000000000009 ffff880077233ab8 ffffffff81665a23 0000000000200005 0000000000000000 ffff880077233af8 ffffffff8104732c 0000000000000046 ffff88007467c800 0000000000000002 ffff88007a9cf2a0 0000000000000001 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81665a23>] dump_stack+0x4f/0x7c [<ffffffff8104732c>] warn_slowpath_common+0x8c/0xc0 [<ffffffff8104737a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff8110fb3d>] perf_swevent_add+0x18d/0x1a0 [<ffffffff811162ae>] event_sched_in.isra.75+0x9e/0x1f0 [<ffffffff8111646a>] group_sched_in+0x6a/0x1f0 [<ffffffff81083dd5>] ? sched_clock_local+0x25/0xa0 [<ffffffff811167e6>] ctx_sched_in+0x1f6/0x450 [<ffffffff8111757b>] perf_event_sched_in+0x6b/0xa0 [<ffffffff81117a4b>] perf_event_context_sched_in+0x7b/0xc0 [<ffffffff81117ece>] __perf_event_task_sched_in+0x43e/0x460 [<ffffffff81096f1e>] ? put_lock_stats.isra.18+0xe/0x30 [<ffffffff8107b3c8>] finish_task_switch+0xb8/0x100 [<ffffffff8166a7de>] __schedule+0x30e/0xad0 [<ffffffff81172dd2>] ? pipe_read+0x3e2/0x560 [<ffffffff8166b45e>] ? preempt_schedule_irq+0x3e/0x70 [<ffffffff8166b45e>] ? preempt_schedule_irq+0x3e/0x70 [<ffffffff8166b464>] preempt_schedule_irq+0x44/0x70 [<ffffffff816707f0>] retint_kernel+0x20/0x30 [<ffffffff8109e60a>] ? lockdep_sys_exit+0x1a/0x90 [<ffffffff812a4234>] lockdep_sys_exit_thunk+0x35/0x67 [<ffffffff81679321>] ? sysret_check+0x5/0x56 Fixing this by tracking the cpu hotplug state and displaying the WARN only if current cpu is initialized properly.

2014-05-13cgroup: rename css_tryget*() to css_tryget_online*()Tejun Heo1-1/+2
Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection against upping a refcnt which already reached zero. cgroup is planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already reached zero. Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly indicate that they're onliness. I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about on/offline state. Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir() to css_tryget_online_from_dir(). This is pure rename. v2: cgroup_freezer grew new usages of css_tryget(). Update accordingly.

2014-05-07perf: Fix race in removing an eventPeter Zijlstra1-21/+26
When removing a (sibling) event we do: raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); perf_group_detach(event); raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); <hole> perf_remove_from_context(event); raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); ... raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling. So, if during <hole> we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the PMU. The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all other lists. Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed! Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has.

2014-04-18perf: Allow building PMU drivers as modulesYan, Zheng1-0/+15
This patch adds support for building PMU driver as module. It exports the functions perf_pmu_{register,unregister}() and adds reference tracking for the PMU driver module. When the PMU driver is built as a module, each active event of the PMU holds a reference to the driver module.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot updates for cgroup: - The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is actually necessary, needed to be employed. After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting i_mutexes. - Various simplifications including dropping of module support, easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type handling and task_cg_lists optimization. - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.

2014-02-27perf: Optimize group_sched_in()Peter Zijlstra1-1/+1
Use the ctx pmu instead of the event pmu. When a group leader is a software event but the group contains hardware events, the entire group is on the hardware PMU. Using the hardware PMU for the transaction makes most sense since that's the most expensive one to programm (and software PMUs generally don't have TXN support anyway).

2014-02-27perf: Remove redundant PMU assignmentMark Rutland1-2/+0
Currently perf_branch_stack_sched_in iterates over the set of pmus, checks that each pmu has a flush_branch_stack callback, then overwrites the pmu before calling the callback. This is either redundant or broken. In systems with a single hw pmu, pmu == cpuctx->ctx.pmu, and thus the assignment is redundant. In systems with multiple hw pmus (i.e. multiple pmus with task_ctx_nr == perf_hw_context) the pmus share the same perf_cpu_context. Thus the assignment can cause one of the pmus to flush its branch stack repeatedly rather than causing each of the pmus to flush their branch stacks. Worse still, if only some pmus have the callback the assignment can result in a branch to NULL. This patch removes the redundant assignment.

Drew Richardson reported that he could make the kernel go *boom* when hotplugging while having perf events active. It turned out that when you have a group event, the code in __perf_event_exit_context() fails to remove the group siblings from the context. We then proceed with destroying and freeing the event, and when you re-plug the CPU and try and add another event to that CPU, things go *boom* because you've still got dead entries there.

2014-02-11cgroup: improve css_from_dir() into css_tryget_from_dir()Tejun Heo1-16/+1
css_from_dir() returns the matching css (cgroup_subsys_state) given a dentry and subsystem. The function doesn't pin the css before returning and requires the caller to be holding RCU read lock or cgroup_mutex and handling pinning on the caller side. Given that users of the function are likely to want to pin the returned css (both existing users do) and that getting and putting css's are very cheap, there's no reason for the interface to be tricky like this. Rename css_from_dir() to css_tryget_from_dir() and make it try to pin the found css and return it only if pinning succeeded. The callers are updated so that they no longer do RCU locking and pinning around the function and just use the returned css. This will also ease converting cgroup to kernfs.

2014-02-08cgroup: clean up cgroup_subsys names and initializationTejun Heo1-5/+3
cgroup_subsys is a bit messier than it needs to be. * The name of a subsys can be different from its internal identifier defined in cgroup_subsys.h. Most subsystems use the matching name but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys. cgroup.h is widely included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier indicating that they belong to cgroup. * cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit silly. This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing the followings. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys. * With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts. All non-matching identifiers are renamed to match the official names. cpu_cgroup -> cpu mem_cgroup -> memory perf -> perf_event * controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name. They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot. * Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed. * While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to WARN()s. BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core").

2014-01-12perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open()Yann Droneaud1-3/+9
Unlike recent modern userspace API such as: epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC), fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC), signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC), or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC), perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC (eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace. The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec. Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec, without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the associated race condition between the current thread and another thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).

2014-01-12perf/x86: Fix active_entry initializationStephane Eranian1-0/+2
This patch fixes a problem with the initialization of the struct perf_event active_entry field. It is defined inside an anonymous union and was initialized in perf_event_alloc() using INIT_LIST_HEAD(). However at that time, we do not know whether the event is going to use active_entry or hlist_entry (SW). Or at last, we don't want to make that determination there. The problem is that hlist and list_head are not initialized the same way. One is okay with NULL (from kzmalloc), the other needs to pointers to point to self. This patch resolves this problem by dropping the union. This will avoid problems later on, if someone starts using active_entry or hlist_entry without verifying that they actually overlap. This also solves the initialization problem.

Pull driver core / sysfs patches from Greg KH: "Here's the big driver core / sysfs update for 3.13-rc1. There's lots of dev_groups updates for different subsystems, as they all get slowly migrated over to the safe versions of the attribute groups (removing userspace races with the creation of the sysfs files.) Also in here are some kobject updates, devres expansions, and the first round of Tejun's sysfs reworking to enable it to be used by other subsystems as a backend for an in-kernel filesystem. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'driver-core-3.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (83 commits) sysfs: rename sysfs_assoc_lock and explain what it's about sysfs: use generic_file_llseek() for sysfs_file_operations sysfs: return correct error code on unimplemented mmap() mdio_bus: convert bus code to use dev_groups device: Make dev_WARN/dev_WARN_ONCE print device as well as driver name sysfs: separate out dup filename warning into a separate function sysfs: move sysfs_hash_and_remove() to fs/sysfs/dir.c sysfs: remove unused sysfs_get_dentry() prototype sysfs: honor bin_attr.attr.ignore_lockdep sysfs: merge sysfs_elem_bin_attr into sysfs_elem_attr devres: restore zeroing behavior of devres_alloc() sysfs: fix sysfs_write_file for bin file input: gameport: convert bus code to use dev_groups input: serio: remove bus usage of dev_attrs input: serio: use DEVICE_ATTR_RO() i2o: convert bus code to use dev_groups memstick: convert bus code to use dev_groups tifm: convert bus code to use dev_groups virtio: convert bus code to use dev_groups ipack: convert bus code to use dev_groups ...
2013-11-06perf: Factor out strncpy() in perf_event_mmap_event()Oleg Nesterov1-16/+16
While this is really minor, but strncpy() does the unnecessary zero-padding till the end of tmp[16] and it is called every time we are going to use the string literal. Turn these strncpy()'s into the single strlcpy() under the new label, saves 72 bytes.

2013-10-29perf: Fix the perf context switch optimizationPeter Zijlstra1-18/+46
Currently we only optimize the context switch between two contexts that have the same parent; this forgoes the optimization between parent and child context, even though these contexts could be equivalent too.

2013-10-29perf: Change zero-padding of strings in perf_event_mmap_event()Peter Zijlstra1-6/+11
Oleg complained about the excessive 0-ing in perf_event_mmap_event(), so try and be smarter about it while keeping it fairly fool proof and avoid leaking random bits out to userspace.

2013-10-29perf: Do not waste PAGE_SIZE bytes for ALIGN(8) in perf_event_mmap_event()Oleg Nesterov1-7/+8
perf_event_mmap_event() does kzalloc(PATH_MAX + sizeof(u64)) to ensure we can align the size later. However this means that we actually allocate PAGE_SIZE * 2 buffer, seems too much. Change this code to allocate PATH_MAX==PAGE_SIZE bytes, but tell d_path() to not use the last sizeof(u64) bytes. Note: it is not clear why do we need __GFP_ZERO, see the next patch.

2013-10-29perf: Kill the dead !vma->vm_mm code in perf_event_mmap_event()Oleg Nesterov1-8/+6
1. perf_event_mmap(vma) is never called with a gate_vma-like arg, remove the "if (!vma->vm_mm)" code. 2. arch_vma_name() can use the chached value of mmap_event->vma. 3. Change the code to not call arch_vma_name() twice. 4. Purely cosmetic, but since we use "goto got_name" all the time remove "else" from "[stack]" branch just for symmetry.
