      perf record: Fix priv level with branch sampling for paranoid=2 · 4ec8d984
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      Now that the default perf_events paranoid level is set to 2, a regular
      user cannot monitor kernel level activity anymore. As such, with the
      following cmdline:
      
        $ perf record -e cycles date
      
      The perf tool first tries cycles:uk but then falls back to cycles:u as
      can be seen in the perf report --header-only output:
      
        cmdline : /export/hda3/tmp/perf.tip record -e cycles ls
        event : name = cycles:u, , id = { 436186, ... }
      
      This is okay as long as there is way to learn the priv level was changed
      internally by the tool.
      
      But consider a similar example:
      
        $ perf record -b -e cycles date
        Error:
        You may not have permission to collect stats.
      
      Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
      which controls use of the performance events system by
      unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
      ...
      
      Why is that treated differently given that the branch sampling inherits the
      priv level of the first event in this case, i.e., cycles:u? It turns out
      that the branch sampling code is more picky and also checks exclude_hv.
      
      In the fallback path, perf record is setting exclude_kernel = 1, but it
      does not change exclude_hv. This does not seem to match the restriction
      imposed by paranoid = 2.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by forcing exclude_hv = 1 in the fallback
      for paranoid=2. With this in place:
      
        $ perf record -b -e cycles date
          cmdline : /export/hda3/tmp/perf.tip record -b -e cycles ls
          event : name = cycles:u, , id = { 436847, ... }
      
      And the command succeeds as expected.
      
      V2 fix a white space.
      
      Committer testing:
      
      After aplying the patch we get:
      
        [acme@quaco ~]$ perf record -b -e cycles date
        WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted,
        check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict and /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid.
      
        Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux
        file is not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.
      
        Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.
      
        If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved
        even with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.005 MB perf.data (14 samples) ]
        [acme@quaco ~]$ perf evlist -v
        cycles:u: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: ANY
        [acme@quaco ~]$
      
      That warning about restricted kernel maps will be suppressed in a follow
      up patch, as perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel is set, i.e. no samples for
      the kernel will be taken and thus no need for those maps.
