perf_pending_irq() invokes perf_event_wakeup() and __perf_pending_irq().
The former is in charge of waking any tasks which waits to be woken up
while the latter disables perf-events.
The irq_work perf_pending_irq(), while this an irq_work, the callback
is invoked in thread context on PREEMPT_RT. This is needed because all
the waking functions (wake_up_all(), kill_fasync()) acquire sleep locks
which must not be used with disabled interrupts.
Disabling events, as done by __perf_pending_irq(), expects a hardirq
context and disabled interrupts. This requirement is not fulfilled on
PREEMPT_RT.
Split functionality based on perf_event::pending_disable into irq_work
named `pending_disable_irq' and invoke it in hardirq context on
PREEMPT_RT. Rename the split out callback to perf_pending_disable().

perf_pending_task() is invoked in task context and disables preemption
because perf_swevent_get_recursion_context() used to access per-CPU
variables. The other reason is to create a RCU read section while
accessing the perf_event.
The recursion counter is no longer a per-CPU accounter so disabling
preemption is no longer required. The RCU section is needed and must be
created explicit.
Replace the preemption-disable section with a explicit RCU-read section.

The swevent_htable::recursion counter is used to avoid creating an
swevent while an event is processed to avoid recursion. The counter is
per-CPU and preemption must be disabled to have a stable counter.
perf_pending_task() disables preemption to access the counter and then
signal. This is problematic on PREEMPT_RT because sending a signal uses
a spinlock_t which must not be acquired in atomic on PREEMPT_RT because
it becomes a sleeping lock.
The atomic context can be avoided by moving the counter into the
task_struct. There is a 4 byte hole between futex_state (usually always
on) and the following perf pointer (perf_event_ctxp). After the
recursion lost some weight it fits perfectly.
Move swevent_htable::recursion into task_struct.

A signal is delivered by raising irq_work() which works from any context
including NMI. irq_work() can be delayed if the architecture does not
provide an interrupt vector. In order not to lose a signal, the signal
is injected via task_work during event_sched_out().
Instead going via irq_work, the signal could be added directly via
task_work. The signal is sent to current and can be enqueued on its
return path to userland.
Queue signal via task_work and consider possible NMI context. Remove
perf_event::pending_sigtrap and and use perf_event::pending_work
instead.

commit b583ef82b671c9a752fbe3e95bd4c1c51eab764d upstream.
Max Makarov reported kernel panic [1] in perf user callchain code.
The reason for that is the race between uprobe_free_utask and bpf
profiler code doing the perf user stack unwind and is triggered
within uprobe_free_utask function:
- after current->utask is freed and
- before current->utask is set to NULL

# bpftrace -e 'profile:hz:100000 { @[ustack()] = count(); }'
Fixing this by making sure current->utask pointer is set to NULL
before we start to release the utask object.

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:

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.

[ Upstream commit cfa7f3d2c526c224a6271cc78a4a27a0de06f4f0 ]
When tracing user functions with uprobe functionality, it's common to
install the probe (e.g., a BPF program) at the first instruction of the
function. This is often going to be `push %rbp` instruction in function
preamble, which means that within that function frame pointer hasn't
been established yet. This leads to consistently missing an actual
caller of the traced function, because perf_callchain_user() only
records current IP (capturing traced function) and then following frame
pointer chain (which would be caller's frame, containing the address of
caller's caller).
So when we have target_1 -> target_2 -> target_3 call chain and we are
tracing an entry to target_3, captured stack trace will report
target_1 -> target_3 call chain, which is wrong and confusing.
This patch proposes a x86-64-specific heuristic to detect `push %rbp`
(`push %ebp` on 32-bit architecture) instruction being traced. Given
entire kernel implementation of user space stack trace capturing works
under assumption that user space code was compiled with frame pointer
register (%rbp/%ebp) preservation, it seems pretty reasonable to use
this instruction as a strong indicator that this is the entry to the
function. In that case, return address is still pointed to by %rsp/%esp,
so we fetch it and add to stack trace before proceeding to unwind the
rest using frame pointer-based logic.
We also check for `endbr64` (for 64-bit modes) as another common pattern
for function entry, as suggested by Josh Poimboeuf. Even if we get this
wrong sometimes for uprobes attached not at the function entry, it's OK
because stack trace will still be overall meaningful, just with one
extra bogus entry. If we don't detect this, we end up with guaranteed to
be missing caller function entry in the stack trace, which is worse
overall.

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.

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
-----

exit_task_work(tsk);
<IRQ>
perf_event_overflow()
event->pending_sigtrap = pending_id;
irq_work_queue(&event->pending_irq);

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

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.

[ Upstream commit 43deb76b19663a96ec2189d8f4eb9a9dc2d7623f ]
The default aux_watermark is half the AUX area buffer size. In general,
on a 64-bit architecture, the AUX area buffer size could be a bigger than
fits in a 32-bit type, but the calculation does not allow for that
possibility.
However the aux_watermark value is recorded in a u32, so should not be
more than U32_MAX either.
Fix by doing the calculation in a correctly sized type, and limiting the
result to U32_MAX.

[ 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.

commit 74751ef5c1912ebd3e65c3b65f45587e05ce5d36 upstream.

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.

The GRKERNSEC_PERF_HARDEN feature extracted from grsecurity. Adds the
option to disable perf_event_open() entirely for unprivileged users.
This standalone version doesn't include making the variable read-only
(or renaming it).
When kernel.perf_event_open is set to 3 (or greater), disallow all
access to performance events by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
Add a Kconfig symbol CONFIG_SECURITY_PERF_EVENTS_RESTRICT that
makes this value the default.
This is based on a similar feature in grsecurity
(CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_PERF_HARDEN). This version doesn't include making
the variable read-only. It also allows enabling further restriction
at run-time regardless of whether the default is changed.

uprobes passes an unaligned page mapping address to
folio_add_new_anon_rmap(), which ends up triggering a VM_BUG_ON() we
recently extended in commit 372cbd4d5a ("mm: non-pmd-mappable, large
folios for folio_add_new_anon_rmap()").
Arguably, this is uprobes code doing something wrong; however, for the
time being it would have likely worked in rmap code because
__folio_set_anon() would set folio->index to the same value.
Looking at __replace_page(), we'd also pass slightly wrong values to
mmu_notifier_range_init(), page_vma_mapped_walk(), flush_cache_page(),
ptep_clear_flush() and set_pte_at_notify(). I suspect most of them are
fine, but let's just mark the introducing commit as the one needed fixing.
I don't think CC stable is warranted.
We'll add more sanity checks in rmap code separately, to make sure that we
always get properly aligned addresses.

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
group_leader.

Currently, the additional information of a branch entry is stored in a
u64 space. With more and more information added, the space is running
out. For example, the information of occurrences of events will be added
for each branch.
Two places were suggested to append the counters.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230802215814.GH231007@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net/
One place is right after the flags of each branch entry. It changes the
existing struct perf_branch_entry. The later ARCH specific
implementation has to be really careful to consistently pick
the right struct.
The other place is right after the entire struct perf_branch_stack.
The disadvantage is that the pointer of the extra space has to be
recorded. The common interface perf_sample_save_brstack() has to be
updated.
The latter is much straightforward, and should be easily understood and
maintained. It is implemented in the patch.
Add a new branch sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COUNTERS, to indicate
the event which is recorded in the branch info.
The "u64 counters" may store the occurrences of several events. The
information regarding the number of events/counters and the width of
each counter should be exposed via sysfs as a reference for the perf
tool. Define the branch_counter_nr and branch_counter_width ABI here.
The support will be implemented later in the Intel-specific patch.

Because group consistency is non-atomic between parent (filedesc) and children
(inherited) events, it is possible for PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read() to try and sum
non-matching counter groups -- with non-sensical results.
Add group_generation to distinguish the case where a parent group removes and
adds an event and thus has the same number, but a different configuration of
events as inherited groups.
This became a problem when commit fa8c269353 ("perf/core: Invert
perf_read_group() loops") flipped the order of child_list and sibling_list.
Previously it would iterate the group (sibling_list) first, and for each
sibling traverse the child_list. In this order, only the group composition of
the parent is relevant. By flipping the order the group composition of the
child (inherited) events becomes an issue and the mis-match in group
composition becomes evident.
That said; even prior to this commit, while reading of a group that is not
equally inherited was not broken, it still made no sense.
(Ab)use ECHILD as error return to indicate issues with child process group
composition.

Namhyung reported that bd27568117 ("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):

Per-package perf events are typically registered with a single CPU only,
however they can be read across all the CPUs within the package.
Currently perf_event_read maps the event CPU according to the topology
information to avoid an unnecessary SMP call, however
perf_event_read_local deals with hard values and rejects a read with a
failure if the CPU is not the one exactly registered. Allow similar
mapping within the perf_event_read_local if the perf event in question
can support this.
This allows users like BPF code to read the package perf events properly
across different CPUs within a package.

When perf-record with a large AUX area, e.g 4GB, it fails with:
#perf record -C 0 -m ,4G -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1
failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)
and it reveals a WARNING with __alloc_pages():
------------[ cut here ]------------

'rb->aux_pages' allocated by kcalloc() is a pointer array which is used to
maintains AUX trace pages. The allocated page for this array is physically
contiguous (and virtually contiguous) with an order of 0..MAX_ORDER. If the
size of pointer array crosses the limitation set by MAX_ORDER, it reveals a
WARNING.
So bail out early with -ENOMEM if the request AUX area is out of bound,
e.g.:
#perf record -C 0 -m ,4G -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1
failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)
