perf: Correctly align perf event tracing buffer

The trace event buffer used by perf to record raw sample events
is typed as an array of char and may then not be aligned to 8
by alloc_percpu().

But we need it to be aligned to 8 in sparc64 because we cast
this buffer into a random structure type built by the TRACE_EVENT()
macro to store the traces. So if a random 64 bits field is accessed
inside, it may be not under an expected good alignment.

Use an array of long instead to force the appropriate alignment, and
perform a compile time check to ensure the size in byte of the buffer
is a multiple of sizeof(long) so that its actual size doesn't get
shrinked under us.

This fixes unaligned accesses reported while using perf lock
in sparc 64.

tracing: Fix race in perf_trace_buf initialization

A race condition exists while initialiazing perf_trace_buf from
perf_trace_init() and perf_kprobe_init().

CPU0 CPU1
perf_trace_init()
mutex_lock(&event_mutex)
perf_trace_event_init()

total_ref_count == 0
buf = alloc_percpu()
perf_trace_buf[i] = buf

perf_trace_buf[i] = buf
tp_event->class->reg()
total_ref_count++

free_percpu(perf_trace_buf[i])
perf_trace_buf[i] = NULL

Any subsequent call to perf_trace_event_reg() will observe total_ref_count > 0,
causing the perf_trace_buf to be always NULL. This can result in perf_trace_buf
getting accessed from perf_trace_buf_alloc() without being initialized. Acquiring
event_mutex in perf_kprobe_init() before calling perf_trace_event_init() should
fix this race.

The race caused the following bug:

perf_event: Add support for LSM and SELinux checks

In current mainline, the degree of access to perf_event_open(2) system
call depends on the perf_event_paranoid sysctl. This has a number of
limitations:

1. The sysctl is only a single value. Many types of accesses are controlled
based on the single value thus making the control very limited and
coarse grained.
2. The sysctl is global, so if the sysctl is changed, then that means
all processes get access to perf_event_open(2) opening the door to
security issues.

This patch adds LSM and SELinux access checking which will be used in
Android to access perf_event_open(2) for the purposes of attaching BPF
programs to tracepoints, perf profiling and other operations from
userspace. These operations are intended for production systems.

5 new LSM hooks are added:
1. perf_event_open: This controls access during the perf_event_open(2)
syscall itself. The hook is called from all the places that the
perf_event_paranoid sysctl is checked to keep it consistent with the
systctl. The hook gets passed a 'type' argument which controls CPU,
kernel and tracepoint accesses (in this context, CPU, kernel and
tracepoint have the same semantics as the perf_event_paranoid sysctl).
Additionally, I added an 'open' type which is similar to
perf_event_paranoid sysctl == 3 patch carried in Android and several other
distros but was rejected in mainline [1] in 2016.

2. perf_event_alloc: This allocates a new security object for the event
which stores the current SID within the event. It will be useful when
the perf event's FD is passed through IPC to another process which may
try to read the FD. Appropriate security checks will limit access.

3. perf_event_free: Called when the event is closed.

4. perf_event_read: Called from the read(2) and mmap(2) syscalls for the event.

5. perf_event_write: Called from the ioctl(2) syscalls for the event.

[1] https://lwn.net/Articles/696240/

Since Peter had suggest LSM hooks in 2016 [1], I am adding his
Suggested-by tag below.

To use this patch, we set the perf_event_paranoid sysctl to -1 and then
apply selinux checking as appropriate (default deny everything, and then
add policy rules to give access to domains that need it). In the future
we can remove the perf_event_paranoid sysctl altogether.

perf/ftrace: Fix function trace events

The function-trace <-> perf interface is a tad messed up. Where all
the other trace <-> perf interfaces use a single trace hook
registration and use per-cpu RCU based hlist to iterate the events,
function-trace actually needs multiple hook registrations in order to
minimize function entry patching when filters are present.

The end result is that we iterate events both on the trace hook and on
the hlist, which results in reporting events multiple times.

Since function-trace cannot use the regular scheme, fix it the other
way around, use singleton hlists.

The reason I instantly stumbled on that patch is that it only addresses the
ftrace situation and doesn't mention the other _5_ places that use this
interface. It doesn't explain why those don't have the problem and if not, why
their solution doesn't work for ftrace.

It doesn't, but this is just putting more duct tape on.

perf/ftrace: Fix double traces of perf on ftrace:function

When running perf on the ftrace:function tracepoint, there is a bug
which can be reproduced by:

perf record -e ftrace:function -a sleep 20 &
perf record -e ftrace:function ls
perf script

ls 10304 [005] 171.853235: ftrace:function:
perf_output_begin
ls 10304 [005] 171.853237: ftrace:function:
perf_output_begin
ls 10304 [005] 171.853239: ftrace:function:
task_tgid_nr_ns
ls 10304 [005] 171.853240: ftrace:function:
task_tgid_nr_ns
ls 10304 [005] 171.853242: ftrace:function:
__task_pid_nr_ns
ls 10304 [005] 171.853244: ftrace:function:
__task_pid_nr_ns

We can see that all the function traces are doubled.

The problem is caused by the inconsistency of the register
function perf_ftrace_event_register() with the probe function
perf_ftrace_function_call(). The former registers one probe
for every perf_event. And the latter handles all perf_events
on the current cpu. So when two perf_events on the current cpu,
the traces of them will be doubled.

So this patch adds an extra parameter "event" for perf_tp_event,
only send sample data to this event when it's not NULL.

perf: split perf_trace_buf_prepare into alloc and update parts

split allows to move expensive update of 'struct trace_entry' to later phase.
Repurpose unused 1st argument of perf_tp_event() to indicate event type.

While splitting use temp variable 'rctx' instead of '*rctx' to avoid
unnecessary loads done by the compiler due to -fno-strict-aliasing

perf: optimize perf_fetch_caller_regs

avoid memset in perf_fetch_caller_regs, since it's the critical path of all tracepoints.
It's called from perf_sw_event_sched, perf_event_task_sched_in and all of perf_trace_##call
with this_cpu_ptr(&__perf_regs[..]) which are zero initialized by perpcu init logic and
subsequent call to perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs initializes the same fields on all archs,
so we can safely drop memset from all of the above cases and move it into
perf_ftrace_function_call that calls it with stack allocated pt_regs.
