2019-11-25tracing: Fix race in perf_trace_buf initializationPrateek Sood
commit 6b1340cc00edeadd52ebd8a45171f38c8de2a387 upstream. 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() perf_trace_event_reg() total_ref_count == 0 buf = alloc_percpu() perf_trace_buf[i] = buf tp_event->class->reg() //fails perf_kprobe_init() goto fail perf_trace_event_init() perf_trace_event_reg() fail: total_ref_count == 0 total_ref_count == 0 buf = alloc_percpu() 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: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000003106f2003c Mem abort info: ESR = 0x96000045 Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000045 CM = 0, WnR = 1 user pgtable: 4k pages, 39-bit VAs, pgdp = ffffffc034b9b000 [0000003106f2003c] pgd=0000000000000000, pud=0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 96000045 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Process syz-executor (pid: 18393, stack limit = 0xffffffc093190000) pstate: 80400005 (Nzcv daif +PAN -UAO) pc : __memset+0x20/0x1ac lr : memset+0x3c/0x50 sp : ffffffc09319fc50 __memset+0x20/0x1ac perf_trace_buf_alloc+0x140/0x1a0 perf_trace_sys_enter+0x158/0x310 syscall_trace_enter+0x348/0x7c0 el0_svc_common+0x11c/0x368 el0_svc_handler+0x12c/0x198 el0_svc+0x8/0xc Ramdumps showed the following: total_ref_count = 3 perf_trace_buf = ( 0x0 -> NULL, 0x0 -> NULL, 0x0 -> NULL, 0x0 -> NULL) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1571120245-4186-1-git-send-email-prsood@codeaurora.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: e12f03d7031a9 ("perf/core: Implement the 'perf_kprobe' PMU") Acked-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Prateek Sood <prsood@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2019-02-21tracing/perf: Use strndup_user() instead of buggy open-coded versionJann Horn
The first version of this method was missing the check for `ret == PATH_MAX`; then such a check was added, but it didn't call kfree() on error, so there was still a small memory leak in the error case. Fix it by using strndup_user() instead of open-coding it.

2017-10-16perf/ftrace: Fix function trace eventsPeter Zijlstra
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.

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.

2017-08-29perf/ftrace: Fix double traces of perf on ftrace:functionZhou Chengming
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.

2015-12-23ftrace: Remove use of control list and opsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Currently perf has its own list function within the ftrace infrastructure that seems to be used only to allow for it to have per-cpu disabling as well as a check to make sure that it's not called while RCU is not watching. It uses something called the "control_ops" which is used to iterate over ops under it with the control_list_func(). The problem is that this control_ops and control_list_func unnecessarily complicates the code. By replacing FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL with two new flags (FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU and FTRACE_OPS_FL_PER_CPU) we can remove all the code that is special with the control ops and add the needed checks within the generic ftrace_list_func().

2015-01-14perf: Avoid horrible stack usagePeter Zijlstra (Intel)
Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf related callbacks have massive stack bloat. The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled it with minimal bits required for operation. Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available, making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste. This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static per-cpu storage instead of on-stack. Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler. We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs() like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs element to use). One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs pointer available and do not need another.

2014-07-28perf: Check permission only for parent tracepoint eventJiri Olsa
There's no need to check cloned event's permission once the parent was already checked.

Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem. When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an infinite event generation loop: ,-> <IPI> | irq_work_exit() -> | trace_irq_work_exit() -> | ... | __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync) | irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty) '--------- arch_irq_work_raise() Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit. To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint. In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a tracepoint perf event.

2012-07-31perf/trace: Add ability to set a target task for eventsAndrew Vagin
A few events are interesting not only for a current task. For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such events will be delivered to a target task too. Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task(). The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra. I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods. These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by perf tools.

Adding support to filter function trace event via perf interface. It is now possible to use filter interface in the perf tool like: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter="(ip == mm_*)" ls The filter syntax is restricted to the the 'ip' field only, and following operators are accepted '==' '!=' '||', ending up with the filter strings like: ip == f1[, ]f2 ... || ip != f3[, ]f4 ... with comma ',' or space ' ' as a function separator. If the space ' ' is used as a separator, the right side of the assignment needs to be enclosed in double quotes '"', e.g.: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == do_execve,sys_*,ext*)' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve,sys_*,ext*")' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve sys_* ext*")' ls The '==' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_filter file. The '!=' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_notrace file. The right side of the '!=', '==' operators is list of functions or regexp. to be added to filter separated by space. The '||' operator is used for connecting multiple filter definitions together.

Adding perf registration support for the ftrace function event, so it is now possible to register it via perf interface. The perf_event struct statically contains ftrace_ops as a handle for function tracer. The function tracer is registered/unregistered in open/close actions. To be efficient, we enable/disable ftrace_ops each time the traced process is scheduled in/out (via TRACE_REG_PERF_(ADD|DELL) handlers). This way tracing is enabled only when the process is running. Intentionally using this way instead of the event's hw state PERF_HES_STOPPED, which would not disable the ftrace_ops. It is now possible to use function trace within perf commands like: perf record -e ftrace:function ls perf stat -e ftrace:function ls Allowed only for root.

Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument. The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with the generic stopped state. This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain code paths (like IRQ handlers). It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters). The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on how the architecture implemented the throttled state: 1) We disable the counter: a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: paulus <paulus@samba.org> Cc: stephane eranian <eranian@googlemail.com> Cc: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Cc: Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Deng-Cheng Zhu <dengcheng.zhu@gmail.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2010-06-10perf/tracing: Fix regression of perf losing kprobe eventsSteven Rostedt
With the addition of the code to shrink the kernel tracepoint infrastructure, we lost kprobes being traced by perf. The reason is that I tested if the "tp_event->class->perf_probe" existed before enabling it. This prevents "ftrace only" events (like the function trace events) from being enabled by perf. Unfortunately, kprobe events do not use perf_probe. This causes kprobes to be missed by perf. To fix this, we add the test to see if "tp_event->class->reg" exists as well as perf_probe. Normal trace events have only "perf_probe" but no "reg" function, and kprobes and syscalls have the "reg" but no "perf_probe". The ftrace unique events do not have either, so this is a valid test. If a kprobe or syscall is not to be probed by perf, the "reg" function is called anyway, and will return a failure and prevent perf from probing it.
