      perf/hw_breakpoint: Pass arch breakpoint struct to arch_check_bp_in_kernelspace() · 8e983ff9
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      We can't pass the breakpoint directly on arch_check_bp_in_kernelspace()
      anymore because its architecture internal datas (struct arch_hw_breakpoint)
      are not yet filled by the time we call the function, and most
      implementation need this backend to be up to date. So arrange the
      function to take the probing struct instead.

      perf/hw_breakpoint: Split attribute parse and commit · 9a4903dd
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      arch_validate_hwbkpt_settings() mixes up attribute check and commit into
      a single code entity. Therefore the validation may return an error due to
      incorrect atributes while still leaving halfway modified architecture
      breakpoint data.
      
      This is harmless when we deal with a new breakpoint but it becomes a
      problem when we modify an existing breakpoint.
      
      Split attribute parse and commit to fix that. The architecture is
      passed a "struct arch_hw_breakpoint" to fill on top of the new attr
      and the core takes care about copying the backend data once it's fully
      validated. The architectures then need to implement the new API.

      perf/core: Implement fast breakpoint modification via _IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES · 32ff77e8
      Milind Chabbi 提交于
      Problem and motivation: Once a breakpoint perf event (PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT)
      is created, there is no flexibility to change the breakpoint type
      (bp_type), breakpoint address (bp_addr), or breakpoint length (bp_len). The
      only option is to close the perf event and configure a new breakpoint
      event. This inflexibility has a significant performance overhead. For
      example, sampling-based, lightweight performance profilers (and also
      concurrency bug detection tools),  monitor different addresses for a short
      duration using PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT and change the address (bp_addr) to
      another address or change the kind of breakpoint (bp_type) from  "write" to
      a "read" or vice-versa or change the length (bp_len) of the address being
      monitored. The cost of these modifications is prohibitive since it involves
      unmapping the circular buffer associated with the perf event, closing the
      perf event, opening another perf event and mmaping another circular buffer.
      
      Solution: The new ioctl flag for perf events,
      PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES, introduced in this patch takes a pointer
      to a struct perf_event_attr as an argument to update an old breakpoint
      event with new address, type, and size. This facility allows retaining a
      previous mmaped perf events ring buffer and avoids having to close and
      reopen another perf event.
      
      This patch supports only changing PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event type; future
      implementations can extend this feature. The patch replicates some of its
      functionality of modify_user_hw_breakpoint() in
      kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c. modify_user_hw_breakpoint cannot be called
      directly since perf_event_ctx_lock() is already held in _perf_ioctl().
      
      Evidence: Experiments show that the baseline (not able to modify an already
      created breakpoint) costs an order of magnitude (~10x) more than the
      suggested optimization (having the ability to dynamically modifying a
      configured breakpoint via ioctl). When the breakpoints typically do not
      trap, the speedup due to the suggested optimization is ~10x; even when the
      breakpoints always trap, the speedup is ~4x due to the suggested
      optimization.
      
      Testing: tests posted at
      https://github.com/linux-contrib/perf_event_modify_bp demonstrate the
      performance significance of this patch. Tests also check the functional
      correctness of the patch.

      hw_breakpoint: Add perf_event_attr fields check in __modify_user_hw_breakpoint() · 705feaf3
      Jiri Olsa 提交于
      And rename it to modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check().
      
      We are about to use modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check() for user space
      breakpoints modification, we must be very strict to check only the
      fields we can change have changed. As Peter explained:
      
       "Suppose someone does:
      
              attr = malloc(sizeof(*attr)); // uninitialized memory
              attr->type = BP;
              attr->bp_addr = new_addr;
              attr->bp_type = bp_type;
              attr->bp_len = bp_len;
              ioctl(fd, PERF_IOC_MOD_ATTR, &attr);
      
        And feeds absolute shite for the rest of the fields.
        Then we later want to extend IOC_MOD_ATTR to allow changing
        attr::sample_type but we can't, because that would break the
        above application."
      
      I'm making this check optional because we already export
      modify_user_hw_breakpoint() and with this check we could
      break existing users.

      ctx->task can already have been changed.
      
      Therefore we need to double check and retry if ctx->task != current.
      
      Insert another trampoline specific to event_function_call() that
      checks for this and further validates state. This also allows getting

      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
      namespace.
      
      (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.

      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.
