With PEBSv3 the PEBS record contains a time stamp. That means we can allow free-running PEBS without a PMI even if the user program requested a time stamp. This avoids the need to use -T to get free running PEBS, and also avoids any problems with mis-identifying MMAPs later. Move the free_running_flags state into a variable in x86_pmu and use it. This only works when no explicit clock_id is set. Signed-off-by:

PEBSv3 is the same as the existing PEBSv2 used on Haswell, but it adds a new TSC field. Add support to the generic PEBS handler to handle the new format, and overwrite the perf time stamp using the new native_sched_clock_from_tsc(). Right now the time stamp is just slightly more accurate, as it is nearer the actual event trigger point. With the PEBS threshold > 1 patchkit it will be much more accurate, avoid the problems with MMAP mismatches earlier. The accurate time stamping is only implemented for the default trace clock for now. v2: Use _skl prefix. Check for default clock_id. Signed-off-by:

PEBSv3 has a raw TSC time stamp in its memory buffer that later needs to to be converted to perf_clock. Add a native_sched_clock_from_tsc() that works the same as native_sched_clock(), but starts with an already given TSC value. Paravirt is ignored, it will just get the native clock. But there isn't a para virtualized PEBS anyway. Signed-off-by:

Intel PT chapter in the new Intel Architecture SDM adds several packets corresponding enable bits and registers that control packet generation. Also, additional bits in the Intel PT CPUID leaf were added to enumerate presence and parameters of these new packets and features. The packets and enables are: * CYC: cycle accurate mode, provides the number of cycles elapsed since previous CYC packet; its presence and available threshold values are enumerated via CPUID; * MTC: mini time counter packets, used for tracking TSC time between full TSC packets; its presence and available resolution options are enumerated via CPUID; * PSB packet period is now configurable, available period values are enumerated via CPUID. This patch adds corresponding bit and register definitions, pmu driver capabilities based on CPUID enumeration, new attribute format bits for the new featurens and extends event configuration validation function to take these into account.

Currently, the PT driver zeroes out the status register every time before starting the event. However, all the writable bits are already taken care of in pt_handle_status() function, except the new PacketByteCnt field, which in new versions of PT contains the number of packet bytes written since the last sync (PSB) packet. Zeroing it out before enabling PT forces a sync packet to be written. This means that, with the existing code, a sync packet (PSB and PSBEND, 18 bytes in total) will be generated every time a PT event is scheduled in. To avoid these unnecessary syncs and save a WRMSR in the fast path, this patch changes the default behavior to not clear PacketByteCnt field, so that the sync packets will be generated with the period specified as "psb_period" attribute config field. This has little impact on the trace data as the other packets that are normally sent within PSB+ (between PSB and PSBEND) have their own generation scenarios which do not depend on the sync packets. One exception where we do need to force PSB like this when tracing starts, so that the decoder has a clear sync point in the trace. For this purpose we aready have hw::itrace_started flag, which we are currently using to output PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START. This patch moves setting itrace_started from perf core to the pmu::start, where it should still be 0 on the very first run. Signed-off-by:

The check looked wrong, although I think it was actually safe. TASK_SIZE is unnecessarily small for compat tasks, and it wasn't possible to make a range breakpoint so large it started in user space and ended in kernel space. Nonetheless, let's fix up the check for the benefit of future readers. A breakpoint is in the kernel if either end is in the kernel. Signed-off-by:

Code on the kprobe blacklist doesn't want unexpected int3 exceptions. It probably doesn't want unexpected debug exceptions either. Be safe: disallow breakpoints in nokprobes code. On non-CONFIG_KPROBES kernels, there is no kprobe blacklist. In that case, disallow kernel breakpoints entirely. It will be particularly important to keep hw breakpoints out of the entry and NMI code once we move debug exceptions off the IST stack. Signed-off-by:

The x86_lbr_exclusive commit (48070342 "perf/x86: Mark Intel PT and LBR/BTS as mutually exclusive") mistakenly moved intel_pmu_needs_lbr_smpl() to perf_event.h, while another commit (a46a2300 "perf: Simplify the branch stack check") removed it in favor of needs_branch_stack().

Change xol_add_vma() to use _install_special_mapping(), this way we can name the vma installed by uprobes. Currently it looks like private anonymous mapping, this is confusing and complicates the debugging. With this change /proc/$pid/maps reports "[uprobes]". As a side effect this will cause core dumps to include the XOL vma and I think this is good; this can help to debug the problem if the app crashed because it was probed. Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov authored
install_special_mapping(pages) expects that "pages" is the zero- terminated array while xol_add_vma() passes &area->page, this means that special_mapping_fault() can wrongly use the next member in xol_area (vaddr) as "struct page *". Fortunately, this area is not expandable so pgoff != 0 isn't possible (modulo bugs in special_mapping_vmops), but still this does not look good. Signed-off-by:

The previous change documents that cleanup_return_instances() can't always detect the dead frames, the stack can grow. But there is one special case which imho worth fixing: arch_uretprobe_is_alive() can return true when the stack didn't actually grow, but the next "call" insn uses the already invalidated frame. Test-case: #include <stdio.h> #include <setjmp.h> jmp_buf jmp; int nr = 1024; void func_2(void) { if (--nr == 0) return; longjmp(jmp, 1); } void func_1(void) { setjmp(jmp); func_2(); } int main(void) { func_1(); return 0; } If you ret-probe func_1() and func_2() prepare_uretprobe() hits the MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH limit and "return" from func_2() is not reported. When we know that the new call is not chained, we can do the more strict check. In this case "sp" points to the new ret-addr, so every frame which uses the same "sp" must be dead. The only complication is that arch_uretprobe_is_alive() needs to know was it chained or not, so we add the new RP_CHECK_CHAIN_CALL enum and change prepare_uretprobe() to pass RP_CHECK_CALL only if !chained. Note: arch_uretprobe_is_alive() could also re-read *sp and check if this word is still trampoline_vaddr. This could obviously improve the logic, but I would like to avoid another copy_from_user() especially in the case when we can't avoid the false "alive == T" positives.

arch/x86 doesn't care (so far), but as Pratyush Anand pointed out other architectures might want why arch_uretprobe_is_alive() was called and use different checks depending on the context. Add the new argument to distinguish 2 callers. Tested-by:

Change prepare_uretprobe() to flush the !arch_uretprobe_is_alive() return_instance's. This is not needed correctness-wise, but can help to avoid the failure caused by MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH. Note: in this case arch_uretprobe_is_alive() can be false positive, the stack can grow after longjmp(). Unfortunately, the kernel can't 100% solve this problem, but see the next patch. Tested-by:

Test-case: #include <stdio.h> #include <setjmp.h> jmp_buf jmp; void func_2(void) { longjmp(jmp, 1); } void func_1(void) { if (setjmp(jmp)) return; func_2(); printf("ERR!! I am running on the caller's stack\n"); } int main(void) { func_1(); return 0; } fails if you probe func_1() and func_2() because handle_trampoline() assumes that the probed function should must return and hit the bp installed be prepare_uretprobe(). But in this case func_2() does not return, so when func_1() returns the kernel uses the no longer valid return_instance of func_2(). Change handle_trampoline() to unwind ->return_instances until we know that the next chain is alive or NULL, this ensures that the current chain is the last we need to report and free. Alternatively, every return_instance could use unique trampoline_vaddr, in this case we could use it as a key. And this could solve the problem with sigaltstack() automatically. But this approach needs more changes, and it puts the "hard" limit on MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH. Plus it can not solve another problem partially fixed by the next patch. Note: this change has no effect on !x86, the arch-agnostic version of arch_uretprobe_is_alive() just returns "true". TODO: as documented by the previous change, arch_uretprobe_is_alive() can be fooled by sigaltstack/etc. Tested-by: -
Oleg Nesterov authored
Add the x86 specific version of arch_uretprobe_is_alive() helper. It returns true if the stack frame mangled by prepare_uretprobe() is still on stack. So if it returns false, we know that the probed function has already returned. We add the new return_instance->stack member and change the generic code to initialize it in prepare_uretprobe, but it should be equally useful for other architectures. TODO: this assumes that the probed application can't use multiple stacks (say sigaltstack). We will try to improve this logic later. Tested-by: -
Oleg Nesterov authored
Add the new "weak" helper, arch_uretprobe_is_alive(), used by the next patches. It should return true if this return_instance is still valid. The arch agnostic version just always returns true. The patch exports "struct return_instance" for the architectures which want to override this hook. We can also cleanup prepare_uretprobe() if we pass the new return_instance to arch_uretprobe_hijack_return_addr(). Tested-by:

No functional changes, preparation. Add the new helper, find_next_ret_chain(), which finds the first !chained entry and returns its ->next. Yes, it is suboptimal. We probably want to turn ->chained into ->start_of_this_chain pointer and avoid another loop. But this needs the boring changes in dup_utask(), so lets do this later. Change the main loop in handle_trampoline() to unwind the stack until ri is equal to the pointer returned by this new helper. Tested-by:

1. It doesn't make sense to continue if handle_trampoline() fails, change handle_swbp() to always return after this call. 2. Turn pr_warn() into uprobe_warn(), and change handle_trampoline() to send SIGILL on failure. It is pointless to return to user mode with the corrupted instruction_pointer() which we can't restore.

Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period settings: With no global settings, we get per-event configuration: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ... With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ... This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option setup: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ... I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current 'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-). Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour. Signed-off-by: -

The semantic associated in tools/perf/ with foo__delete(instance) is to release all resources referenced by 'instance' members and then release the memory for 'instance' itself. The perf_session_env__delete() function isn't doing this, it just does the first part, but the space used by 'instance' itself isn't freed, as it is embedded in a larger structure, that will be freed at other stage. For these cases we se foo__exit(), i.e. the usage is: void foo__delete(foo) { if (foo) { foo__exit(foo); free(foo); } } But when we have something like: struct bar { struct foo foo; . . . } Then we can't really call foo__delete(&bar.foo), we must have this instead: void bar__exit(bar) { foo__exit(&bar.foo); /* free other bar-> resources */ } void bar__delete(bar) { if (bar) { bar__exit(bar); free(bar); } } So just rename perf_session_env__delete() to perf_session_env__exit().
