perf/core: Fix small negative period being ignored

perf/core: Fix small negative period being ignored

commit 62c0b1061593d7012292f781f11145b2d46f43ab upstream.

In perf_adjust_period, we will first calculate period, and then use
this period to calculate delta. However, when delta is less than 0,
there will be a deviation compared to when delta is greater than or
equal to 0. For example, when delta is in the range of [-14,-1], the
range of delta = delta + 7 is between [-7,6], so the final value of
delta/8 is 0. Therefore, the impact of -1 and -2 will be ignored.
This is unacceptable when the target period is very short, because
we will lose a lot of samples.

Here are some tests and analyzes:
before:

The above results were tested on x86-64 qemu with KVM enabled using
test.c as test program. Ideally, we should have around 1500 samples,
but the previous algorithm had only about 500, whereas the modified
algorithm now has about 1400. Further more, the new version shows 1
sample per 0.001s, while the previous one is 1 sample per 0.002s.This
indicates that the new algorithm is more sensitive to small negative
values compared to old algorithm.

Use perf_allow_kernel() for 'pa_enable' (physical addresses),
'pct_enable' (physical timestamps) and context IDs. This means that
perf_event_paranoid is now taken into account and LSM hooks can be used,
which is more consistent with other perf_event_open calls. For example
PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR uses perf_allow_kernel() rather than just
perfmon_capable().

This also indirectly fixes the following error message which is
misleading because perf_event_paranoid is not taken into account by
perfmon_capable():

bpf, events: Use prog to emit ksymbol event for main program

[ Upstream commit 0be9ae5486cd9e767138c13638820d240713f5f1 ]

Since commit 0108a4e9f358 ("bpf: ensure main program has an extable"),
prog->aux->func[0]->kallsyms is left as uninitialized. For BPF programs
with subprogs, the symbol for the main program is missing just as shown
in the output of perf script below:

perf: Fix event leak upon exec and file release

commit 3a5465418f5fd970e86a86c7f4075be262682840 upstream.

The perf pending task work is never waited upon the matching event
release. In the case of a child event, released via free_event()
directly, this can potentially result in a leaked event, such as in the
following scenario that doesn't even require a weak IRQ work
implementation to trigger:

schedule()
prepare_task_switch()
=======> <NMI>
perf_event_overflow()
event->pending_sigtrap = ...
irq_work_queue(&event->pending_irq)
<======= </NMI>
perf_event_task_sched_out()
event_sched_out()
event->pending_sigtrap = 0;
atomic_long_inc_not_zero(&event->refcount)
task_work_add(&event->pending_task)
finish_lock_switch()
=======> <IRQ>
perf_pending_irq()
//do nothing, rely on pending task work
<======= </IRQ>

begin_new_exec()
perf_event_exit_task()
perf_event_exit_event()
// If is child event
free_event()
WARN(atomic_long_cmpxchg(&event->refcount, 1, 0) != 1)
// event is leaked

Similar scenarios can also happen with perf_event_remove_on_exec() or
simply against concurrent perf_event_release().

Fix this with synchonizing against the possibly remaining pending task
work while freeing the event, just like is done with remaining pending
IRQ work. This means that the pending task callback neither need nor
should hold a reference to the event, preventing it from ever beeing
freed.

perf: Fix event leak upon exit

commit 2fd5ad3f310de22836cdacae919dd99d758a1f1b upstream.

When a task is scheduled out, pending sigtrap deliveries are deferred
to the target task upon resume to userspace via task_work.

However failures while adding an event's callback to the task_work
engine are ignored. And since the last call for events exit happen
after task work is eventually closed, there is a small window during
which pending sigtrap can be queued though ignored, leaking the event
refcount addition such as in the following scenario:

TASK A
-----

do_exit()
exit_task_work(tsk);

<IRQ>
perf_event_overflow()
event->pending_sigtrap = pending_id;
irq_work_queue(&event->pending_irq);
</IRQ>
=========> PREEMPTION: TASK A -> TASK B
event_sched_out()
event->pending_sigtrap = 0;
atomic_long_inc_not_zero(&event->refcount)
// FAILS: task work has exited
task_work_add(&event->pending_task)
[...]
<IRQ WORK>
perf_pending_irq()
// early return: event->oncpu = -1
</IRQ WORK>
[...]
=========> TASK B -> TASK A
perf_event_exit_task(tsk)
perf_event_exit_event()
free_event()
WARN(atomic_long_cmpxchg(&event->refcount, 1, 0) != 1)
// leak event due to unexpected refcount == 2

As a result the event is never released while the task exits.

Fix this with appropriate task_work_add()'s error handling.

perf: Prevent passing zero nr_pages to rb_alloc_aux()

[ Upstream commit dbc48c8f41c208082cfa95e973560134489e3309 ]

nr_pages is unsigned long but gets passed to rb_alloc_aux() as an int,
and is stored as an int.

Only power-of-2 values are accepted, so if nr_pages is a 64_bit value, it
will be passed to rb_alloc_aux() as zero.

That is not ideal because:
1. the value is incorrect
2. rb_alloc_aux() is at risk of misbehaving, although it manages to
return -ENOMEM in that case, it is a result of passing zero to get_order()
even though the get_order() result is documented to be undefined in that
case.

Fix by simply validating the maximum supported value in the first place.
Use -ENOMEM error code for consistency with the current error code that
is returned in that case.

perf/core: Fix missing wakeup when waiting for context reference

commit 74751ef5c1912ebd3e65c3b65f45587e05ce5d36 upstream.

[346278.191102] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae

The task was waiting for the refcount become to 1, but from the vmcore,
we found the refcount has already been 1. It seems that the task didn't
get woken up by perf_event_release_kernel() and got stuck forever. The
below scenario may cause the problem.

Thread A Thread B
... ...
perf_event_free_task perf_event_release_kernel
...
acquire event->child_mutex
...
get_ctx
... release event->child_mutex
acquire ctx->mutex
...
perf_free_event (acquire/release event->child_mutex)
...
release ctx->mutex
wait_var_event
acquire ctx->mutex
acquire event->child_mutex
# move existing events to free_list
release event->child_mutex
release ctx->mutex
put_ctx
... ...

In this case, all events of the ctx have been freed, so we couldn't
find the ctx in free_list and Thread A will miss the wakeup. It's thus
necessary to add a wakeup after dropping the reference.

perf: Fix perf_event_validate_size() lockdep splat

commit 7e2c1e4b34f07d9aa8937fab88359d4a0fce468e upstream.

When lockdep is enabled, the for_each_sibling_event(sibling, event)
macro checks that event->ctx->mutex is held. When creating a new group
leader event, we call perf_event_validate_size() on a partially
initialized event where event->ctx is NULL, and so when
for_each_sibling_event() attempts to check event->ctx->mutex, we get a
splat, as reported by Lucas De Marchi:

WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 1471 at kernel/events/core.c:1950 __do_sys_perf_event_open+0xf37/0x1080

This only happens for a new event which is its own group_leader, and in
this case there cannot be any sibling events. Thus it's safe to skip the
check for siblings, which avoids having to make invasive and ugly
changes to for_each_sibling_event().

Avoid the splat by bailing out early when the new event is its own

perf: Fix perf_event_validate_size()

[ Upstream commit 382c27f4ed28f803b1f1473ac2d8db0afc795a1b ]

Budimir noted that perf_event_validate_size() only checks the size of
the newly added event, even though the sizes of all existing events
can also change due to not all events having the same read_format.

When we attach the new event, perf_group_attach(), we do re-compute
the size for all events.

perf: Optimize perf_cgroup_switch()

[ Upstream commit f06cc667f79909e9175460b167c277b7c64d3df0 ]

Namhyung reported that bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling")
regresses context switch overhead when perf-cgroup is in use together
with 'slow' PMUs like uncore.

Specifically, perf_cgroup_switch()'s perf_ctx_disable() /
ctx_sched_out() etc.. all iterate the full list of active PMUs for
that CPU, even if they don't have cgroup events.

Previously there was cgrp_cpuctx_list which linked the relevant PMUs
together, but that got lost in the rework. Instead of re-instruducing
a similar list, let the perf_event_pmu_context iteration skip those
that do not have cgroup events. This avoids growing multiple versions
of the perf_event_pmu_context iteration.

Measured performance (on a slightly different patch):

Before)

$ taskset -c 0 ./perf bench sched pipe -l 10000 -G AAA,BBB
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 10000 pipe operations between two processes

Total time: 0.901 [sec]

After)

# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 10000 pipe operations between two processes
