For some reason find_pmu_context() is defined as returning void * rather than a __percpu struct perf_cpu_context *. As all the requisite types are defined in advance there's no reason to keep it that way. This patch modifies the prototype of pmu_find_context to return a __percpu struct perf_cpu_context *.

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.

It will start spewing to early_printk() (which is a lot nicer to use from NMI context too) when it fails to queue the IRQ-work because its already enqueued. It does have the false-positive for when two CPUs trigger the warn concurrently, but that should be rare and some extra clutter on the early printk shouldn't be a problem.

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).

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.

Vince Weaver reports that, on all architectures apart from ARM, PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD doesn't actually update the period until the next event fires. This is counter-intuitive behaviour and is better dealt with in the core code. This patch ensures that the period is forcefully reset when dealing with such a request in the core code.

Currently, only one PMU in a context gets disabled during unthrottling and event_sched_{out,in}(), however, events in one context may belong to different pmus, which results in PMUs being reprogrammed while they are still enabled. This means that mixed PMU use [which is rare in itself] resulted in potentially completely unreliable results: corrupted events, bogus results, etc. This patch temporarily disables PMUs that correspond to each event in the context while these events are being modified.

This patch adds a new field to the struct perf_event. It is intended to be used to chain events which are active (enabled). It helps in the hardware layer for PMUs which do not have actual counter restrictions, i.e., free running read-only counters. Active events are chained as opposed to being tracked via the counter they use. To save space we use a union with hlist_entry as both are mutually exclusive (suggested by Jiri Olsa).

uprobe_task->vaddr is a bit strange. The generic code uses it only to pass the additional argument to arch_uprobe_pre_xol(), and since it is always equal to instruction_pointer() this looks even more strange. And both utask->vaddr and and utask->autask have the same scope, they only have the meaning when the task executes the probed insn out-of-line, so it is safe to reuse both in UTASK_RUNNING state. This all means that logically ->vaddr belongs to arch_uprobe_task and we should probably move it there, arch_uprobe_pre_xol() can record instruction_pointer() itself. OTOH, it is also used by uprobe_copy_process() and dup_xol_work() for another purpose, this doesn't look clean and doesn't allow to move this member into arch_uprobe_task. This patch adds the union with 2 anonymous structs into uprobe_task. The first struct is autask + vaddr, this way we "almost" move vaddr into autask. The second struct has 2 new members for uprobe_copy_process() paths: ->dup_xol_addr which can be used instead ->vaddr, and ->dup_xol_work which can be used to avoid kmalloc() and simplify the code. Note that this union will likely have another member(s), we need something like "private_data_for_handlers" so that the tracing handlers could use it to communicate with call_fetch() methods.

1. copy_insn() doesn't look very nice, all calculations are confusing and it is not immediately clear why do we read the 2nd page first. 2. The usage of inode->i_size is wrong on 32-bit machines. 3. "Instruction at end of binary" logic is simply wrong, it doesn't handle the case when uprobe->offset > inode->i_size. In this case "bytes" overflows, and __copy_insn() writes to the memory outside of uprobe->arch.insn. Yes, uprobe_register() checks i_size_read(), but this file can be truncated after that. All i_size checks are racy, we do this only to catch the obvious mistakes. Change copy_insn() to call __copy_insn() in a loop, simplify and fix the bytes/nbytes calculations. Note: we do not care if we read extra bytes after inode->i_size if we got the valid page. This is fine because the task gets the same page after page-fault, and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() can't know how many bytes were actually read anyway. Signed-off-by: NOleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

Currently xol_get_insn_slot() assumes that we should simply copy arch_uprobe->insn[] which is (ignoring arch_uprobe_analyze_insn) just the copy of the original insn.

uprobe_copy_process() does nothing if the child shares ->mm with the forking process, but there is a special case: CLONE_VFORK. In this case it would be more correct to do dup_utask() but avoid dup_xol(). This is not that important, the child should not unwind its stack too much, this can corrupt the parent's stack, but at least we need this to allow to ret-probe __vfork() itself. Note: in theory, it would be better to check task_pt_regs(p)->sp instead of CLONE_VFORK, we need to dup_utask() if and only if the child can return from the function called by the parent. But this needs the arch-dependant helper, and I think that nobody actually does clone(same_stack, CLONE_VM).

Trivial test-case: # perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 __fork%return # perf record -e probe_libc:__fork perl -le 'fork || print "OK"' (the child doesn't print "OK", it is killed by SIGSEGV) If the child returns from the probed function it actually returns to trampoline_vaddr, because it got the copy of parent's stack mangled by prepare_uretprobe() when the parent entered this func. It crashes because a) this address is not mapped and b) until the previous change it doesn't have the proper->return_instances info. This means that uprobe_copy_process() has to create xol_area which has the trampoline slot, and its vaddr should be equal to parent's xol_area->vaddr. Unfortunately, uprobe_copy_process() can not simply do __create_xol_area(child, xol_area->vaddr). This could actually work but perf_event_mmap() doesn't expect the usage of foreign ->mm. So we offload this to task_work_run(), and pass the argument via not yet used utask->vaddr. We know that this vaddr is fine for install_special_mapping(), the necessary hole was recently "created" by dup_mmap() which skips the parent's VM_DONTCOPY area, and nobody else could use the new mm. Unfortunately, this also means that we can not handle the errors properly, we obviously can not abort the already completed fork(). So we simply print the warning if GFP_KERNEL allocation (the only possible reason) fails.

uprobe_copy_process() assumes that the new child doesn't need ->utask, it should be allocated by demand. But this is not true if the forking task has the pending ret- probes, the child should report them as well and thus it needs the copy of parent's ->return_instances chain. Otherwise the child crashes when it returns from the probed function. Alternatively we could cleanup the child's stack, but this needs per-arch changes and this is not what we want. At least systemtap expects a .return in the child too. Note: this change alone doesn't fix the problem, see the next change.

Currently xol_add_vma() uses get_unmapped_area() for area->vaddr, but the next patches need to use the fixed address. So this patch adds the new "vaddr" argument to __create_xol_area() which should be used as area->vaddr if it is nonzero. xol_add_vma() doesn't bother to verify that the predefined addr is not used, insert_vm_struct() should fail if find_vma_links() detects the overlap with the existing vma. Also, __create_xol_area() doesn't need __GFP_ZERO to allocate area. Signed-off-by: NOleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: NSrikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

No functional changes, preparation. Extract the code which actually allocates/installs the new area into the new helper, __create_xol_area(). While at it remove the unnecessary "ret = ENOMEM" and "ret = 0" in xol_add_vma(), they both have no effect.

Preparation for the next patches. Move the callsite of uprobe_copy_process() in copy_process() down to the succesfull return. We do not care if copy_process() fails, uprobe_free_utask() won't be called in this case so the wrong ->utask != NULL doesn't matter. OTOH, with this change we know that copy_process() can't fail when uprobe_copy_process() is called, the new task should either return to user-mode or call do_exit(). This way uprobe_copy_process() can: 1. setup p->utask != NULL if necessary 2. setup uprobes_state.xol_area 3. use task_work_add(p) Also, move the definition of uprobe_copy_process() down so that it can see get_utask().

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.

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.

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.

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.
