      perf: perf_event_exit_task_context: s/rcu_dereference/rcu_dereference_raw/ · 806839b2
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      In theory, almost every user of task->child->perf_event_ctxp[]
      is wrong. find_get_context() can install the new context at any
      moment, we need read_barrier_depends().
      
      dbe08d82 "perf: Fix
      find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race" added
      rcu_dereference() into perf_event_exit_task_context() to make
      the precedent, but this makes __rcu_dereference_check() unhappy.
      Use rcu_dereference_raw() to shut up the warning.

      perf: Annotate cpuctx->ctx.mutex to avoid a lockdep splat · 547e9fd7
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Lockdep spotted:
      
      	loop_1b_instruc/1899 is trying to acquire lock:
      	 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810e1908>] perf_trace_init+0x3b/0x2f7
      
      	but task is already holding lock:
      	 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810eb45b>] perf_event_init_context+0xc0/0x218
      
      	which lock already depends on the new lock.
      
      	the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
      
      	-> #3 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}:
      	-> #2 (cpu_hotplug.lock){+.+.+.}:
      	-> #1 (module_mutex){+.+...}:
      	-> #0 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}:
      
      But because the deadlock would be cpuhotplug (cpu-event) vs fork
      (task-event) it cannot, in fact, happen. We can annotate this by giving the
      perf_event_context used for the cpuctx a different lock class from those
      used by tasks.

      powerpc, perf: Fix frequency calculation for overflowing counters (FSL version) · 8c8a9b25
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      When fixing the frequency calculations for perf on powerpc I
      forgot to fix the FSL version.
      
      If we dont set event->hw.last_period the frequency to period
      calculations in perf go haywire and we continually
      throttle/unthrottle the PMU.

      perf: Fix perf_event_init_task()/perf_event_free_task() interaction · 8550d7cb
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      perf_event_init_task() should clear child->perf_event_ctxp[]
      before anything else. Otherwise, if
      perf_event_init_context(perf_hw_context) fails,
      perf_event_free_task() can free perf_event_ctxp[perf_sw_context]
      copied from parent->perf_event_ctxp[] by dup_task_struct().
      
      Also move the initialization of perf_event_mutex and
      perf_event_list from perf_event_init_context() to
      perf_event_init_context().

      perf: Fix find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race · dbe08d82
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      find_get_context() must not install the new perf_event_context
      if the task has already passed perf_event_exit_task().
      
      If nothing else, this means the memory leak. Initially
      ctx->refcount == 2, it is supposed that
      perf_event_exit_task_context() should participate and do the
      necessary put_ctx().
      
      find_lively_task_by_vpid() checks PF_EXITING but this buys
      nothing, by the time we call find_get_context() this task can be
      already dead. To the point, cmpxchg() can succeed when the task
      has already done the last schedule().
      
      Change find_get_context() to populate task->perf_event_ctxp[]
      under task->perf_event_mutex, this way we can trust PF_EXITING
      because perf_event_exit_task() takes the same mutex.
      
      Also, change perf_event_exit_task_context() to use
      rcu_dereference(). Probably this is not strictly needed, but
      with or without this change find_get_context() can race with
      setup_new_exec()->perf_event_exit_task(), rcu_dereference()
      looks better.
