The arch_perf_output_copy_user() default of
__copy_from_user_inatomic() returns bytes not copied, while all other
argument functions given DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() return bytes copied.
Since copy_from_user_nmi() is the odd duck out by returning bytes
copied where all other *copy_{to,from}* functions return bytes not
copied, change it over and ammend DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() to expect bytes
not copied.
Oddly enough DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() already returned bytes not copied
while expecting its worker functions to return bytes copied.

Avoid touching the lost_event and sample_data cachelines twince. Its

Add unlikely() annotations to 'slow' paths:
When having a sampling event but no output buffer; you have bigger
issues -- also the bail is still faster than actually doing the work.
When having a sampling event but a control page only buffer, you have
bigger issues -- again the bail is still faster than actually doing
work.
Optimize for the case where you're not loosing events -- again, not
doing the work is still faster but make sure that when you have to
actually do work its as fast as possible.
The typical watermark is 1/2 the buffer size, so most events will not
take this path.

uprobe_copy_process() does nothing if the child shares ->mm with
the forking process, but there is a special case: CLONE_VFORK.
In this case it would be more correct to do dup_utask() but avoid
dup_xol(). This is not that important, the child should not unwind
its stack too much, this can corrupt the parent's stack, but at
least we need this to allow to ret-probe __vfork() itself.
Note: in theory, it would be better to check task_pt_regs(p)->sp
instead of CLONE_VFORK, we need to dup_utask() if and only if the
child can return from the function called by the parent. But this
needs the arch-dependant helper, and I think that nobody actually
does clone(same_stack, CLONE_VM).

This finally fixes the serious bug in uretprobes: a forked child
crashes if the parent called fork() with the pending ret probe.
Trivial test-case:
# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 __fork%return
# perf record -e probe_libc:__fork perl -le 'fork || print "OK"'
(the child doesn't print "OK", it is killed by SIGSEGV)
If the child returns from the probed function it actually returns
to trampoline_vaddr, because it got the copy of parent's stack
mangled by prepare_uretprobe() when the parent entered this func.
It crashes because a) this address is not mapped and b) until the
previous change it doesn't have the proper->return_instances info.
This means that uprobe_copy_process() has to create xol_area which
has the trampoline slot, and its vaddr should be equal to parent's
xol_area->vaddr.
Unfortunately, uprobe_copy_process() can not simply do
__create_xol_area(child, xol_area->vaddr). This could actually work
but perf_event_mmap() doesn't expect the usage of foreign ->mm. So
we offload this to task_work_run(), and pass the argument via not
yet used utask->vaddr.
We know that this vaddr is fine for install_special_mapping(), the
necessary hole was recently "created" by dup_mmap() which skips the
parent's VM_DONTCOPY area, and nobody else could use the new mm.
Unfortunately, this also means that we can not handle the errors
properly, we obviously can not abort the already completed fork().
So we simply print the warning if GFP_KERNEL allocation (the only
possible reason) fails.

uprobe_copy_process() assumes that the new child doesn't need
->utask, it should be allocated by demand.
But this is not true if the forking task has the pending ret-
probes, the child should report them as well and thus it needs
the copy of parent's ->return_instances chain. Otherwise the
child crashes when it returns from the probed function.
Alternatively we could cleanup the child's stack, but this needs
per-arch changes and this is not what we want. At least systemtap
expects a .return in the child too.
Note: this change alone doesn't fix the problem, see the next
change.

Currently xol_add_vma() uses get_unmapped_area() for area->vaddr,
but the next patches need to use the fixed address. So this patch
adds the new "vaddr" argument to __create_xol_area() which should
be used as area->vaddr if it is nonzero.
xol_add_vma() doesn't bother to verify that the predefined addr is
not used, insert_vm_struct() should fail if find_vma_links() detects
the overlap with the existing vma.
Also, __create_xol_area() doesn't need __GFP_ZERO to allocate area.

No functional changes, preparation.
Extract the code which actually allocates/installs the new area
into the new helper, __create_xol_area().
While at it remove the unnecessary "ret = ENOMEM" and "ret = 0"
in xol_add_vma(), they both have no effect.

Preparation for the next patches.
Move the callsite of uprobe_copy_process() in copy_process() down
to the succesfull return. We do not care if copy_process() fails,
uprobe_free_utask() won't be called in this case so the wrong
->utask != NULL doesn't matter.
OTOH, with this change we know that copy_process() can't fail when
uprobe_copy_process() is called, the new task should either return
to user-mode or call do_exit(). This way uprobe_copy_process() can:
1. setup p->utask != NULL if necessary
2. setup uprobes_state.xol_area
3. use task_work_add(p)
Also, move the definition of uprobe_copy_process() down so that it
can see get_utask().

perf_event_mmap_event() does kzalloc(PATH_MAX + sizeof(u64)) to

actually allocate PAGE_SIZE * 2 buffer, seems too much.

1. perf_event_mmap(vma) is never called with a gate_vma-like arg,
remove the "if (!vma->vm_mm)" code.
2. arch_vma_name() can use the chached value of mmap_event->vma.
3. Change the code to not call arch_vma_name() twice.
4. Purely cosmetic, but since we use "goto got_name" all the time
remove "else" from "[stack]" branch just for symmetry.

The PPC64 people noticed a missing memory barrier and crufty old
comments in the perf ring buffer code. So update all the comments and
add the missing barrier.
When the architecture implements local_t using atomic_long_t there
will be double barriers issued; but short of introducing more
conditional barrier primitives this is the best we can do.

Marc Kleine-Budde pointed out, that commit 77cc982 "clocksource: use
clockevents_config_and_register() where possible" caused a regression
for some of the converted subarchs.
The reason is, that the clockevents core code converts the minimal
hardware tick delta to a nanosecond value for core internal
usage. This conversion is affected by integer math rounding loss, so
the backwards conversion to hardware ticks will likely result in a
value which is less than the configured hardware limitation. The
affected subarchs used their own workaround (SIGH!) which got lost in
the conversion.
The solution for the issue at hand is simple: adding evt->mult - 1 to
the shifted value before the integer divison in the core conversion
function takes care of it. But this only works for the case where for
the scaled math mult/shift pair "mult <= 1 << shift" is true. For the
case where "mult > 1 << shift" we can apply the rounding add only for
the minimum delta value to make sure that the backward conversion is
not less than the given hardware limit. For the upper bound we need to
omit the rounding add, because the backwards conversion is always
larger than the original latch value. That would violate the upper
bound of the hardware device.
Though looking closer at the details of that function reveals another
bogosity: The upper bounds check is broken as well. Checking for a
resulting "clc" value greater than KTIME_MAX after the conversion is
pointless. The conversion does:
u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) / evt->mult;
So there is no sanity check for (latch << evt->shift) exceeding the
64bit boundary. The latch argument is "unsigned long", so on a 64bit
arch the handed in argument could easily lead to an unnoticed shift
overflow. With the above rounding fix applied the calculation before
the divison is:
u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) + evt->mult - 1;
So we need to make sure, that neither the shift nor the rounding add
is overflowing the u64 boundary.

issue and correct comment with the right math]

For now, we disable the extended MMAP record support (MMAP2).
We have identified cases where it would not report the correct mapping
information, clone(VM_CLONE) but with separate pids. We will revisit
the support once we find a solution for this case.
The patch changes the kernel to return EINVAL if attr->mmap2 is set. The
patch also modifies the perf tool to use regular PERF_RECORD_MMAP for
synthetic events and it also prevents the tool from requesting
attr->mmap2 mode because the kernel would reject it.
The support will be revisited once the kenrel interface is updated.
In V2, we reduce the patch to the strict minimum.
In V3, we avoid calling perf_event_open() with mmap2 set because we know
it will fail and require fallback retry.

Both Anjana and Eunki reported a stall in the while_each_thread loop
in cgroup_attach_task().
It's because, when we attach a single thread to a cgroup, if the cgroup
is exiting or is already in that cgroup, we won't break the loop.
If the task is already in the cgroup, the bug can lead to another thread
being attached to the cgroup unexpectedly:
# echo 5207 > tasks
# cat tasks
5207
# echo 5207 > tasks
# cat tasks
5207
5215
What's worse, if the task to be attached isn't the leader of the thread
group, we might never exit the loop, hence cpu stall. Thanks for Oleg's
analysis.
This bug was introduced by commit 081aa458c38ba576bdd4265fc807fa95b48b9e79
("cgroup: consolidate cgroup_attach_task() and cgroup_attach_proc()")
[ lizf: - fixed the first continue, pointed out by Oleg,
- rewrote changelog. ]

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
- The resume part of user space driven hibernation (s2disk) is now
broken after the change that moved the creation of memory bitmaps to
after the freezing of tasks, because I forgot that the resume utility
loaded the image before freezing tasks and needed the bitmaps for
that. The fix adds special handling for that case.
- One of recent commits changed the export of acpi_bus_get_device() to
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), which was technically correct but broke existing
binary modules using that function including one in particularly
widespread use. Change it back to EXPORT_SYMBOL().
- The intel_pstate driver sometimes fails to disable turbo if its
no_turbo sysfs attribute is set. Fix from Srinivas Pandruvada.
- One of recent cpufreq fixes forgot to update a check in cpufreq-cpu0
which still (incorrectly) treats non-NULL as non-error. Fix from
Philipp Zabel.
- The SPEAr cpufreq driver uses a wrong variable type in one place
preventing it from catching errors returned by one of the functions
called by it. Fix from Sachin Kamat.

Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample
type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful
for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen
due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another
CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort.
The tuning strategies are very different for those cases,
so it's important to distinguish them easily and early.
Since it's inconvenient and inflexible to filter for this
in the kernel we report all the events out and allow
some post processing in user space.
The flags are based on the Intel TSX events, but should be fairly
generic and mostly applicable to other HTM architectures too. In addition
to various flag words there's also reserved space to report an
program supplied abort code. For TSX this is used to distinguish specific
classes of aborts, like a lock busy abort when doing lock elision.
Flags:
Elision and generic transactions (ELISION vs TRANSACTION)
(HLE vs RTM on TSX; IBM etc. would likely only use TRANSACTION)
Aborts caused by current thread vs aborts caused by others (SYNC vs ASYNC)
Retryable transaction (RETRY)
Conflicts with other threads (CONFLICT)
Transaction write capacity overflow (CAPACITY WRITE)
Transaction read capacity overflow (CAPACITY READ)
Transactions implicitely aborted can also return an abort code.
This can be used to signal specific events to the profiler. A common
case is abort on lock busy in a RTM eliding library (code 0xff)
To handle this case we include the TSX abort code
Common example aborts in TSX would be:
- Data conflict with another thread on memory read.
Flags: TRANSACTION|ASYNC|CONFLICT
- executing a WRMSR in a transaction. Flags: TRANSACTION|SYNC
- HLE transaction in user space is too large
Flags: ELISION|SYNC|CAPACITY-WRITE
The only flag that is somewhat TSX specific is ELISION.
This adds the perf core glue needed for reporting the new flag word out.
v2: Add MEM/MISC
v3: Move transaction to the end
v4: Separate capacity-read/write and remove misc
v5: Remove _SAMPLE. Move abort flags to 32bit. Rename
transaction to txn

While auditing the list_entry usage due to a trinity bug I found that
perf_pmu_migrate_context violates the rules for
perf_event::event_entry.
The problem is that perf_event::event_entry is a RCU list element, and
hence we must wait for a full RCU grace period before re-using the
element after deletion.
Therefore the usage in perf_pmu_migrate_context() which re-uses the
entry immediately is broken. For now introduce another list_head into
perf_event for this specific usage.
This doesn't actually fix the trinity report because that never goes
through this code.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into irq/urgent
Pull a hardirq-nesting fix from Frederic Weisbecker.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
|

The commit facd8b80c67a3cf64a467c4a2ac5fb31f2e6745b
("irq: Sanitize invoke_softirq") converted irq exit
calls of do_softirq() to __do_softirq() on all architectures,
assuming it was only used there for its irq disablement
properties.
But as a side effect, the softirqs processed in the end
of the hardirq are always called on the inline current
stack that is used by irq_exit() instead of the softirq
stack provided by the archs that override do_softirq().
The result is mostly safe if the architecture runs irq_exit()
on a separate irq stack because then softirqs are processed
on that same stack that is near empty at this stage (assuming
hardirq aren't nesting).
Otherwise irq_exit() runs in the task stack and so does the softirq
too. The interrupted call stack can be randomly deep already and
the softirq can dig through it even further. To add insult to the
injury, this softirq can be interrupted by a new hardirq, maximizing
the chances for a stack overrun as reported in powerpc for example:

Since this is a regression, this patch proposes a minimalistic
and low-risk solution by blindly forcing the hardirq exit processing of
softirqs on the softirq stack. This way we should reduce significantly
the opportunities for task stack overflow dug by softirqs.
Longer term solutions may involve extending the hardirq stack coverage to
irq_exit(), etc...

However this doesn't happen if the first fork() fails to create the

If /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains only "|", a NULL pointer
dereference happens upon core dump because argv_split("") returns
argv[0] == NULL.
This bug was once fixed by commit 264b83c07a84 ("usermodehelper: check
subprocess_info->path != NULL") but was by error reintroduced by commit
7f57cfa4e2aa ("usermodehelper: kill the sub_info->path[0] check").
This bug seems to exist since 2.6.19 (the version which core dump to
pipe was added). Depending on kernel version and config, some side
effect might happen immediately after this oops (e.g. kernel panic with
2.6.32-358.18.1.el6).

Recent commit 8fd37a4 (PM / hibernate: Create memory bitmaps after
freezing user space) broke the resume part of the user space driven
hibernation (s2disk), because I forgot that the resume utility
loaded the image into memory without freezing user space (it still
freezes tasks after loading the image). This means that during user
space driven resume we need to create the memory bitmaps at the
"device open" time rather than at the "freeze tasks" time, so make
that happen (that's a special case anyway, so it needs to be treated
in a special way).

ad65782fba50 (context_tracking: Optimize main APIs off case
with static key) converted context tracking main APIs to inline
function and left ARM asm callers behind.
This can be easily fixed by making ARM calling the post static
keys context tracking function. We just need to replicate the
static key checks there. We'll remove these later when ARM will
support the context tracking static keys.
