Use event->attr.branch_sample_type to replace intel_pmu_needs_lbr_smpl() for avoiding duplicated code that implicitly enables the LBR. Currently, branch stack can be enabled by user explicitly requesting branch sampling or implicit branch sampling to correct PEBS skid. For user explicitly requested branch sampling, the branch_sample_type is explicitly set by user. For PEBS case, the branch_sample_type is also implicitly set to PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY in x86_pmu_hw_config. Signed-off-by:

When the LBR call stack is enabled, it is necessary to save/restore the LBR stack on context switch. The solution is saving/restoring the LBR stack to/from task's perf event context. The LBR stack is saved/restored only when there are events that use the LBR call stack. If no event uses LBR call stack, the LBR stack is reset when task is scheduled in. Signed-off-by:

When enabling/disabling an event, check if the event uses the LBR callstack feature, adjust the LBR callstack usage count accordingly. Later patch will use the usage count to decide if LBR stack should be saved/restored. Signed-off-by:

When the LBR call stack is enabled, it is necessary to save/restore the LBR stack on context switch. We can use pmu specific data to store LBR stack when task is scheduled out. This patch adds code that allocates the pmu specific data. Signed-off-by:

If two tasks were both forked from the same parent task, Events in their perf task contexts can be the same. Perf core may leave out switching the perf event contexts. Previous patch inroduces pmu specific data. The data is for saving the LBR stack, it is task specific. So we need to switch the data even when context switch is optimized out. Signed-off-by:

Introduce a new flag PERF_ATTACH_TASK_DATA for perf event's attach stata. The flag is set by PMU's event_init() callback, it indicates that perf event needs PMU specific data. The PMU specific data are initialized to zeros. Later patches will use PMU specific data to save LBR stack. Signed-off-by:

Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to record call chains. To enable this feature, bits (JCC, NEAR_IND_JMP, NEAR_REL_JMP, FAR_BRANCH, EN_CALLSTACK) in LBR_SELECT must be set to 1, bits (NEAR_REL_CALL, NEAR-IND_CALL, NEAR_RET) must be cleared. Due to a hardware bug of Haswell, this feature doesn't work well with FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI. When the call stack feature is enabled, the LBR stack will capture unfiltered call data normally, but as return instructions are executed, the last captured branch record is flushed from the on-chip registers in a last-in first-out (LIFO) manner. Thus, branch information relative to leaf functions will not be captured, while preserving the call stack information of the main line execution path. This patch defines a separate lbr_sel map for Haswell. The map contains a new entry for the call stack feature. Signed-off-by:

Previous commit introduces context switch callback, its function overlaps with the flush branch stack callback. So we can use the context switch callback to flush LBR stack. This patch adds code that uses the flush branch callback to flush the LBR stack when task is being scheduled in. The callback is enabled only when there are events use the LBR hardware. This patch also removes all old flush branch stack code. Signed-off-by:

The callback is invoked when process is scheduled in or out. It provides mechanism for later patches to save/store the LBR stack. For the schedule in case, the callback is invoked at the same place that flush branch stack callback is invoked. So it also can replace the flush branch stack callback. To avoid unnecessary overhead, the callback is enabled only when there are events use the LBR stack. Signed-off-by:

The index of lbr_sel_map is bit value of perf branch_sample_type. PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_MAX is 1024 at present, so each lbr_sel_map uses 4096 bytes. By using bit shift as index, we can reduce lbr_sel_map size to 40 bytes. This patch defines 'bit shift' for branch types, and use 'bit shift' to define lbr_sel_maps. Signed-off-by:

For hardware events, the userspace page of the event gets updated in context switches, so if we read the timestamp in the page, we get fresh info. For software events, this is missing currently. This patch makes the behavior consistent. With this patch, we can implement clock_gettime(THREAD_CPUTIME) with PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY in userspace as suggested by Andy and Peter. Code like this: if (pc->cap_user_time) { do { seq = pc->lock; barrier(); running = pc->time_running; cyc = rdtsc(); time_mult = pc->time_mult; time_shift = pc->time_shift; time_offset = pc->time_offset; barrier(); } while (pc->lock != seq); quot = (cyc >> time_shift); rem = cyc & ((1 << time_shift) - 1); delta = time_offset + quot * time_mult + ((rem * time_mult) >> time_shift); running += delta; return running; } I tried it on a busy system, the userspace page updating doesn't have noticeable overhead.

While perfmon2 is a sufficiently evil library (it pokes MSRs directly) that breaking it is fair game, it's still useful, so we might as well try to support it. This allows users to write 2 to /sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc to disable all rdpmc protection so that hack like perfmon2 can continue to work. At some point, if perf_event becomes fast enough to replace perfmon2, then this can go. Signed-off-by:

We currently allow any process to use rdpmc. This significantly weakens the protection offered by PR_TSC_DISABLED, and it could be helpful to users attempting to exploit timing attacks. Since we can't enable access to individual counters, use a very coarse heuristic to limit access to rdpmc: allow access only when a perf_event is mmapped. This protects seccomp sandboxes. There is plenty of room to further tighen these restrictions. For example, this allows rdpmc for any x86_pmu event, but it's only useful for self-monitoring tasks. As a side effect, cap_user_rdpmc will now be false for AMD uncore events. This isn't a real regression, since .event_idx is disabled for these events anyway for the time being. Whenever that gets re-added, the cap_user_rdpmc code can be adjusted or refactored accordingly. Signed-off-by:

The code is correct, but only for a rather subtle reason. This confused me for quite a while when I read switch_mm, so clarify the code to avoid confusing other people, too. TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if this code was only correct by accident. Signed-off-by:

Context switches and TLB flushes can change individual bits of CR4. CR4 reads take several cycles, so store a shadow copy of CR4 in a per-cpu variable. To avoid wasting a cache line, I added the CR4 shadow to cpu_tlbstate, which is already touched in switch_mm. The heaviest users of the cr4 shadow will be switch_mm and __switch_to_xtra, and __switch_to_xtra is called shortly after switch_mm during context switch, so the cacheline is likely to be hot.

CR4 manipulation was split, seemingly at random, between direct (write_cr4) and using a helper (set/clear_in_cr4). Unfortunately, the set_in_cr4 and clear_in_cr4 helpers also poke at the boot code, which only a small subset of users actually wanted. This patch replaces all cr4 access in functions that don't leave cr4 exactly the way they found it with new helpers cr4_set_bits, cr4_clear_bits, and cr4_set_bits_and_update_boot. Signed-off-by:

Currently the adjusments made as part of perf_event_task_tick() use the percpu rotation lists to iterate over any active PMU contexts, but these are not used by the context rotation code, having been replaced by separate (per-context) hrtimer callbacks. However, some manipulation of the rotation lists (i.e. removal of contexts) has remained in perf_rotate_context(). This leads to the following issues: * Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation lists (when memory backing the context is freed). This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for said PMUs. * Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick. This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU, this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts can be in a rotation list. By maintaining a list of perf_event_contexts rather than perf_event_cpu_contexts, we don't need separate paths to handle the cpu and task contexts, which also makes the code a little simpler. As the rotation_list variables are not used for rotation, these are renamed to active_ctx_list, which better matches their current function. perf_pmu_rotate_{start,stop} are renamed to perf_pmu_ctx_{activate,deactivate}.

When initialising an event, perf_init_event will call try_module_get() to ensure that the PMU's module cannot be removed for the lifetime of the event, with __free_event() dropping the reference when the event is finally destroyed. If something fails after the event has been initialised, but before the event is installed, perf_event_alloc will drop the reference on the module. However, if we fail to initialise an event for some reason (e.g. we ask an uncore PMU to perform sampling, and it refuses to initialise the event), we do not drop the refcount. If we try to open such a bogus event without a precise IDR type, we will loop over each PMU in the pmus list, incrementing each of their refcounts without decrementing them. This patch adds a module_put when pmu->event_init(event) fails, ensuring that the refcounts are balanced in failure cases. As the innards of the precise and search based initialisation look very similar, this logic is hoisted out into a new helper function. While the early return for the failed try_module_get is removed from the search case, this is handled by the remaining return when ret is not -ENOENT. Signed-off-by:

Currently we flag available data (via poll syscall) on perf fd with POLL_IN macro, which is normally used for SIGIO interface. We've been lucky, because POLLIN (0x1) is subset of POLL_IN (0x20001) and sys_poll (do_pollfd function) cut the extra bit out (0x20000). Signed-off-by:

So what I suspect; but I'm in zombie mode today it seems; is that while I initially thought that it was impossible for ctx to change when refcount dropped to 0, I now suspect its possible. Note that until perf_remove_from_context() the event is still active and visible on the lists. So a concurrent sys_perf_event_open() from another task into this task can race. Reported-by:

Jiri reported triggering the new WARN_ON_ONCE in event_sched_out over the weekend: event_sched_out.isra.79+0x2b9/0x2d0 group_sched_out+0x69/0xc0 ctx_sched_out+0x106/0x130 task_ctx_sched_out+0x37/0x70 __perf_install_in_context+0x70/0x1a0 remote_function+0x48/0x60 generic_exec_single+0x15b/0x1d0 smp_call_function_single+0x67/0xa0 task_function_call+0x53/0x80 perf_install_in_context+0x8b/0x110 I think the below should cure this; if we install a group leader it will iterate the (still intact) group list and find its siblings and try and install those too -- even though those still have the old event->ctx -- in the new ctx. Upon installing the first group sibling we'd try and schedule out the group and trigger the above warn. Fix this by installing the group leader last, installing siblings would have no effect, they're not reachable through the group lists and therefore we don't schedule them. Also delay resetting the state until we're absolutely sure the events are quiescent. Reported-by:

There have been a few reported issues wrt. the lack of locking around changing event->ctx. This patch tries to address those. It avoids the whole rwsem thing; and while it appears to work, please give it some thought in review. What I did fail at is sensible runtime checks on the use of event->ctx, the RCU use makes it very hard. Signed-off-by:

Commit 8eb23b9f ("sched: Debug nested sleeps") added code to report on nested sleep conditions, which we generally want to avoid because the inner sleeping operation can re-set the thread state to TASK_RUNNING, but that will then cause the outer sleep loop not actually sleep when it calls schedule. However, that's actually valid traditional behavior, with the inner sleep being some fairly rare case (like taking a sleeping lock that normally doesn't actually need to sleep). And the debug code would actually change the state of the task to TASK_RUNNING internally, which makes that kind of traditional and working code not work at all, because now the nested sleep doesn't just sometimes cause the outer one to not block, but will cause it to happen every time. In particular, it will cause the cardbus kernel daemon (pccardd) to basically busy-loop doing scheduling, converting a laptop into a heater, as reported by Bruno Prémont. But there may be other legacy uses of that nested sleep model in other drivers that are also likely to never get converted to the new model. This fixes both cases: - don't set TASK_RUNNING when the nested condition happens (note: even if WARN_ONCE() only _warns_ once, the return value isn't whether the warning happened, but whether the condition for the warning was true. So despite the warning only happening once, the "if (WARN_ON(..))" would trigger for every nested sleep. - in the cases where we knowingly disable the warning by using "sched_annotate_sleep()", don't change the task state (that is used for all core scheduling decisions), instead use '->task_state_change' that is used for the debugging decision itself. (Credit for the second part of the fix goes to Oleg Nesterov: "Can't we avoid this subtle change in behaviour DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP adds?" with the suggested change to use 'task_state_change' as part of the test) Reported-and-bisected-by:
