Commit 927c7a9e ("perf: Fix race in callchains") introduced a mismatch in the sizing of struct callchain_cpus_entries. nr_cpu_ids must be used instead of num_possible_cpus(), or we might get out of bound memory accesses on some machines.

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.

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.

Linus reported that the RCU lockdep annotation bits triggered for this rcu_dereference() because we're not holding rcu_read_lock(). Going over the code I cannot convince myself its correct: - holding a ref on the parent_ctx, doesn't avoid it being uncloned concurrently (as the comment says), so we can race with a free. - holding parent_ctx->mutex doesn't avoid the above free from taking place either, it would at best avoid parent_ctx from being freed. I.e. the warning is correct. To fix the bug, serialize against the unclone_ctx() call by extending the reach of the parent_ctx->lock.

Use the reboot notifier to detach all running counters on reboot, this solves a problem with kexec where the new kernel doesn't expect running counters (rightly so). It will however decrease the coverage of the NMI watchdog. Making a kexec specific reboot notifier callback would be best, however that would require touching all notifier callback handlers as they are not properly structured to deal with new state. As a compromise, place the perf reboot notifier at the very last position in the list.

Oleg noticed that a perf-fd keeping a reference on the creating task leads to a few funny side effects. There's two different aspects to this: - kernel based perf-events, these should not take out a reference on the creating task and appear on the task's event list since they're not bound to fds nor visible to userspace. - fork() and pthread_create(), these can lead to the creating task dying (and thus the task's event-list becomming useless) but keeping the list and ref alive until the event is closed. Combined they lead to malfunction of the ptrace hw_tracepoints. Cure this by not considering kernel based perf_events for the owner-list and destroying the owner-list when the owner dies.

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.

This patch corrects time tracking in samples. Without this patch both time_enabled and time_running are bogus when user asks for PERF_SAMPLE_READ. One uses PERF_SAMPLE_READ to sample the values of other counters in each sample. Because of multiplexing, it is necessary to know both time_enabled, time_running to be able to scale counts correctly. In this second version of the patch, we maintain a shadow copy of ctx->time which allows us to compute ctx->time without calling update_context_time() from NMI context. We avoid the issue that update_context_time() must always be called with ctx->lock held. We do not keep shadow copies of the other event timings because if the lead event is overflowing then it is active and thus it's been scheduled in via event_sched_in() in which case neither tstamp_stopped, tstamp_running can be modified. This timing logic only applies to samples when PERF_SAMPLE_READ is used. Note that this patch does not address timing issues related to sampling inheritance between tasks. This will be addressed in a future patch. With this patch, the libpfm4 example task_smpl now reports correct counts (shown on 2.4GHz Core 2): $ task_smpl -p 2400000000 -e unhalted_core_cycles:u,instructions_retired:u,baclears noploop 5 noploop for 5 seconds IIP:0x000000004006d6 PID:5596 TID:5596 TIME:466,210,211,430 STREAM_ID:33 PERIOD:2,400,000,000 ENA=1,010,157,814 RUN=1,010,157,814 NR=3 2,400,000,254 unhalted_core_cycles:u (33) 2,399,273,744 instructions_retired:u (34) 53,340 baclears (35) Signed-off-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <4cc6e14b.1e07e30a.256e.5190@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This new version (see commit 8e5fc1a7) is much simpler and ensures that in case of error in group_sched_in() during event_sched_in(), the events up to the failed event go through regular event_sched_out(). But the failed event and the remaining events in the group have their timings adjusted as if they had also gone through event_sched_in() and event_sched_out(). This ensures timing uniformity across all events in a group. This also takes care of the tstamp_stopped problem in case the group could never be scheduled. The tstamp_stopped is updated as if the event had actually run. With this patch, the following now reports correct time_enabled, in case the NMI watchdog is active: $ task -e unhalted_core_cycles,instructions_retired,baclears,baclears noploop 1 noploop for 1 seconds 0 unhalted_core_cycles (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0) 0 instructions_retired (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0) 0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0) 0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0) And the older test case also works: $ task -einstructions_retired,baclears,baclears -e unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5 1680885 instructions_retired (69.39% scaling, ena=950756, run=291006) 10735 baclears (69.39% scaling, ena=950756, run=291006) 10735 baclears (69.39% scaling, ena=950756, run=291006) 0 unhalted_core_cycles (100.00% scaling, ena=817932, run=0) 0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=817932, run=0) 0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=817932, run=0) Signed-off-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <4cbeeebc.8ee7d80a.5a28.0d5f@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This patch reverts commit 8e5fc1a7 (perf_events: Fix transaction recovery in group_sched_in()) because it had one flaw in case the group could never be scheduled. It would cause time_enabled to get negative.

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...

So that we can pass the task pointer to the event allocation, so that we can use task associated data during event initialization. Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <20101014203625.340789919@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Currently it looks like find_lively_task_by_vpid() takes a task ref and relies on find_get_context() to drop it. The problem is that perf_event_create_kernel_counter() shouldn't be dropping task refs.

Matt found we trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in perf_group_attach() when we take the move_group path in perf_event_open(). Since we cannot de-construct the group (we rely on it to move the events), we have to simply ignore the double attach. The group state is context invariant and doesn't need changing.
