      perf, powerpc: Fix hw breakpoints returning -ENOSPC · 0d855354
      Michael Neuling 提交于
      I've been trying to get hardware breakpoints with perf to work
      on POWER7 but I'm getting the following:
      
        % perf record -e mem:0x10000000 true
      
          Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 28 (No space left on device).  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
      
          Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
      
        true: Terminated
      
      (FWIW adding -a and it works fine)
      
      Debugging it seems that __reserve_bp_slot() is returning ENOSPC
      because it thinks there are no free breakpoint slots on this
      CPU.
      
      I have a 2 CPUs, so perf userspace is doing two perf_event_open
      syscalls to add a counter to each CPU [1].  The first syscall
      succeeds but the second is failing.
      
      On this second syscall, fetch_bp_busy_slots() sets slots.pinned
      to be 1, despite there being no breakpoint on this CPU.  This is
      because the call the task_bp_pinned, checks all CPUs, rather
      than just the current CPU. POWER7 only has one hardware
      breakpoint per CPU (ie. HBP_NUM=1), so we return ENOSPC.
      
      The following patch fixes this by checking the associated CPU
      for each breakpoint in task_bp_pinned.  I'm not familiar with
      this code, so it's provided as a reference to the above issue.

      perf, arch: Rework perf_event_index() · 35edc2a5
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Put the logic to compute the event index into a per pmu method. This
      is required because the x86 rules are weird and wonderful and don't
      match the capabilities of the current scheme.
      
      AFAIK only powerpc actually has a usable userspace read of the PMCs
      but I'm not at all sure anybody actually used that.
      
      ARM is restored to the default since it currently does not support
      userspace access at all. And all software events are provided with a
      method that reports their index as 0 (disabled).

      perf,hw_breakpoint: Initialize hardware api earlier · 3c502e7a
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      When using early debugging, the kernel does not initialize the
      hw_breakpoint API early enough and causes the late initialization of
      the kernel debugger to fail. The boot arguments are:
      
          earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait
      
      Then simply type "go" at the kdb prompt and boot. The kernel will
      later emit the message:
      
          kgdb: Could not allocate hwbreakpoints
      
      And at that point the kernel debugger will cease to work correctly.
      
      The solution is to initialize the hw_breakpoint at the same time that
      all the other perf call backs are initialized instead of using a
      core_initcall() initialization which happens well after the kernel
      debugger can make use of hardware breakpoints.

      perf, hw_breakpoint: Fix crash in hw_breakpoint creation · d580ff86
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      hw_breakpoint creation needs to account stuff per-task to ensure there
      is always sufficient hardware resources to back these things due to
      ptrace.
      
      With the perf per pmu context changes the event initialization no
      longer has access to the event context, for the simple reason that we
      need to first find the pmu (result of initialization) before we can
      find the context.
      
      This makes hw_breakpoints unhappy, because it can no longer do per
      task accounting, cure this by frobbing a task pointer in the event::hw
      bits for now...

      perf events: Clean up pid passing · 38a81da2
      Matt Helsley 提交于
      The kernel perf event creation path shouldn't use find_task_by_vpid()
      because a vpid exists in a specific namespace. find_task_by_vpid() uses
      current's pid namespace which isn't always the correct namespace to use
      for the vpid in all the places perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and
      thus find_get_context()) is called.
      
      The goal is to clean up pid namespace handling and prevent bugs like:
      
      	https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17281
      
      Instead of using pids switch find_get_context() to use task struct
      pointers directly. The syscall is responsible for resolving the pid to
      a task struct. This moves the pid namespace resolution into the syscall
      much like every other syscall that takes pid parameters.

      Matt Helsley 提交于
      Hardware breakpoints can't be registered within pid namespaces
      because tsk->pid is passed rather than the pid in the current

      (See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17281 )
      
      This is a quick fix demonstrating the problem but is not the
      best method of solving the problem since passing pids internally
      is not the best way to avoid pid namespace bugs. Subsequent patches
      will show a better solution.

      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
      pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.
      
      The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
      keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
      the generic stopped state.
      
      This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
      code paths (like IRQ handlers).
      
      It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
      a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).
      
      The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
      how the architecture implemented the throttled state:
      
       1) We disable the counter:
          a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
          b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state
      
       2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

      hw_breakpoints: Fix per task breakpoint tracking · 45a73372
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Freeing a perf event can happen in several ways. A task
      calls perf_event_exit_task() right before exiting. This helper
      will detach all the events from the task context and queue their
      removal through free_event() if they are child tasks. The task
      also loses its context reference there.
      
      Releasing the breakpoint slot from the constraint table is made
      from free_event() that calls release_bp_slot(). We count the number
      of breakpoints this task is running by looking at the task's
      perf_event_ctxp and iterating through its attached events.
      But at this time, the reference to this context has been cleaned up
      already.
      
      So looking at the event->ctx instead of task->perf_event_ctxp
      to count the remaining breakpoints should solve the problem.
      At least it would for child breakpoints, but not for parent ones.
      If the parent exits before the child, it will remove all its
      events from the context but free_event() will be called later,
      on fd release time. And checking the number of breakpoints the
      task has attached to its context at this time is unreliable as all
      events have been removed from the context.
      
      To solve this, we keep track of the list of per task breakpoints.
      On top of it, we maintain our array of numbers of breakpoints used
      by the tasks. We use the context address as a task id.
      
      So, instead of looking at the number of events attached to a context,
      we walk through our list of per task breakpoints and count the number
      of breakpoints that use the same ctx than the one to be reserved or
      released from the constraint table, and update the count on top of this
      result.
      
      In the meantime it solves a bad refcounting, it also solves a warning,
      reported by Paul.

      hw-breakpoints: Get the number of available registers on boot dynamically · feef47d0
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The breakpoint generic layer assumes that archs always know in advance
      the static number of address registers available to host breakpoints
      through the HBP_NUM macro.
      
      However this is not true for every archs. For example Arm needs to get
      this information dynamically to handle the compatiblity between
      different versions.
      
      To solve this, this patch proposes to drop the static HBP_NUM macro
      and let the arch provide the number of available slots through a
      new hw_breakpoint_slots() function. For archs that have
      CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS selected, it will be called once
      as the number of registers fits for instruction and data breakpoints
      together.
      For the others it will be called first to get the number of
      instruction breakpoint registers and another time to get the
      data breakpoint registers, the targeted type is given as a
      parameter of hw_breakpoint_slots().

      hw-breakpoints: Handle breakpoint weight in allocation constraints · f93a2054
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Depending on their nature and on what an arch supports, breakpoints
      may consume more than one address register. For example a simple
      absolute address match usually only requires one address register.
      But an address range match may consume two registers.
      
      Currently our slot allocation constraints, that tend to reflect the
      limited arch's resources, always consider that a breakpoint consumes
      one slot.
      
      Then provide a way for archs to tell us the weight of a breakpoint
      through a new hw_breakpoint_weight() helper. This weight will be
      computed against the generic allocation constraints instead of
      a constant value.

      hw-breakpoints: Separate constraint space for data and instruction breakpoints · 0102752e
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      There are two outstanding fashions for archs to implement hardware
      breakpoints.
      
      The first is to separate breakpoint address pattern definition
      space between data and instruction breakpoints. We then have
      typically distinct instruction address breakpoint registers
      and data address breakpoint registers, delivered with
      separate control registers for data and instruction breakpoints
      as well. This is the case of PowerPc and ARM for example.
      
      The second consists in having merged breakpoint address space
      definition between data and instruction breakpoint. Address
      registers can host either instruction or data address and
      the access mode for the breakpoint is defined in a control
      register. This is the case of x86 and Super H.
      
      This patch adds a new CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS config
      that archs can select if they belong to the second case. Those
      will have their slot allocation merged for instructions and
      data breakpoints.
      
      The others will have a separate slot tracking between data and
      instruction breakpoints.

      hw-breakpoints: Change/Enforce some breakpoints policies · b2812d03
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The current policies of breakpoints in x86 and SH are the following:
      
      - task bound breakpoints can only break on userspace addresses
      - cpu wide breakpoints can only break on kernel addresses
      
      The former rule prevents ptrace breakpoints to be set to trigger on
      kernel addresses, which is good. But as a side effect, we can't
      breakpoint on kernel addresses for task bound breakpoints.
      
      The latter rule simply makes no sense, there is no reason why we
      can't set breakpoints on userspace while performing cpu bound
      profiles.
      
      We want the following new policies:
      
      - task bound breakpoint can set userspace address breakpoints, with
      no particular privilege required.
      - task bound breakpoints can set kernelspace address breakpoints but
      must be privileged to do that.
      - cpu bound breakpoints can do what they want as they are privileged
      already.
      
      To implement these new policies, this patch checks if we are dealing
      with a kernel address breakpoint, if so and if the exclude_kernel
      parameter is set, we tell the user that the breakpoint is invalid,
      which makes a good generic ptrace protection.
      If we don't have exclude_kernel, ensure the user has the right
      privileges as kernel breakpoints are quite sensitive (risk of
      trap recursion attacks and global performance impacts).

      hw-breakpoints: Check disabled breakpoints again · 87e9b202
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      We stopped checking disabled breakpoints because we weren't
      allowing breakpoints on NULL addresses. And gdb tends to set
      NULL addresses on inactive breakpoints.
      
      But refusing NULL addresses was actually a regression that has
      been fixed now. There is no reason anymore to not validate

      hw-breakpoints: Remove stub unthrottle callback · 1e259e0a
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      We support event unthrottling in breakpoint events. It means
      that if we have more than sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ,
      perf will throttle, ignoring subsequent events until the next
      tick.
      
      So if ptrace exceeds this max rate, it will omit events, which
      breaks the ptrace determinism that is supposed to report every
      triggered breakpoints. This is likely to happen if we set
      sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate to 1.
      
      This patch removes support for unthrottling in breakpoint
      events to break throttling and restore ptrace determinism.

      percpu: Add __percpu sparse annotations to hw_breakpoint · 44ee6358
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Add __percpu sparse annotations to hw_breakpoint.
      
      These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
      in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
      through percpu accessors.  This patch doesn't affect normal builds.
      
      In kernel/hw_breakpoint.c, per_cpu(nr_task_bp_pinned, cpu)'s will
      trigger spurious noderef related warnings from sparse.  Changing it to
      &per_cpu(nr_task_bp_pinned[0], cpu) will work around the problem but

      perf, hw_breakpoint, kgdb: Do not take mutex for kernel debugger · 5352ae63
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the
      kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw
      breakpoint reservations.
      
      The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it
      can start the kernel running from an invalid context.
      
      A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get
      created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint
      reservations.
      
      The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently
      processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is
      improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is
      warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the
      hardware breakpoint reservations.
      
      Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it
      will be a system wide reservation.

      hw_breakpoints: Release the bp slot if arch_validate_hwbkpt_settings() fails. · b23ff0e9
      Mahesh Salgaonkar 提交于
      On a given architecture, when hardware breakpoint registration fails
      due to un-supported access type (read/write/execute), we lose the bp
      slot since register_perf_hw_breakpoint() does not release the bp slot
      on failure.
      Hence, any subsequent hardware breakpoint registration starts failing
      with 'no space left on device' error.
      
      This patch introduces error handling in register_perf_hw_breakpoint()
      function and releases bp slot on error.

      hw-breakpoints: Modify breakpoints without unregistering them · 44234adc
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling
      it, changing its address, type or len, it calls
      modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and
      racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new
      one.
      
      This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint
      slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only
      supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging
      workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle.
      
      So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just
      disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it
      after if necessary.

      hw-breakpoints: Fix task-bound breakpoint slot allocation · 56053170
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Whatever the context nature of a breakpoint, we always perform the
      following constraint checks before allocating it a slot:
      
      - Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus
      - Check the max number of task-bound breakpoints that are belonging
        to a task.
      - Add both and see if we have a reamining slot for the new breakpoint
      
      This is the right thing to do when we are about to register a cpu-only
      bound breakpoint. But not if we are dealing with a task bound
      breakpoint. What we want in this case is:
      
      - Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus
      - Check the number of breakpoints that already belong to the task
        in which the breakpoint to register is bound to.
      - Add both
      
      This fixes a regression that makes the "firefox -g" command fail to
      register breakpoints once we deal with a secondary thread.
