The following commit:
1627314fb54a33e ("perf: Suppress AUX/OVERWRITE records")
has an unintended side-effect of also suppressing all AUX records with no flags
and non-zero size, so all the regular records in the full trace mode.
This breaks some use cases for people.
Fix this by restoring "regular" AUX records.

The following recent commit:
c60f83b813e5 ("perf, pt, coresight: Fix address filters for vmas with non-zero offset")
changes the address filtering logic to communicate filter ranges to the PMU driver
via a single address range object, instead of having the driver do the final bit of
math.
That change forgets to take into account kernel filters, which are not calculated
the same way as DSO based filters.
Fix that by passing the kernel filters the same way as file-based filters.
This doesn't require any additional changes in the drivers.

Thomas-Mich Richter reported he triggered a WARN()ing from event_function_local()
on his s390. The problem boils down to:
CPU-A CPU-B
perf_event_overflow()
perf_event_disable_inatomic()
@pending_disable = 1
irq_work_queue();
sched-out
event_sched_out()
@pending_disable = 0
sched-in
perf_event_overflow()
perf_event_disable_inatomic()
@pending_disable = 1;
irq_work_queue(); // FAILS
irq_work_run()
perf_pending_event()
if (@pending_disable)
perf_event_disable_local(); // WHOOPS
The problem exists in generic, but s390 is particularly sensitive
because it doesn't implement arch_irq_work_raise(), nor does it call
irq_work_run() from it's PMU interrupt handler (nor would that be
sufficient in this case, because s390 also generates
perf_event_overflow() from pmu::stop). Add to that the fact that s390
is a virtual architecture and (virtual) CPU-A can stall long enough
for the above race to happen, even if it would self-IPI.
Adding a irq_work_sync() to event_sched_in() would work for all hardare
PMUs that properly use irq_work_run() but fails for software PMUs.
Instead encode the CPU number in @pending_disable, such that we can
tell which CPU requested the disable. This then allows us to detect
the above scenario and even redirect the IPI to make up for the failed
queue.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo:
kernel:
Stephane Eranian :
- Restore mmap record type correctly when handling PERF_RECORD_MMAP2
events, as the same template is used for all the threads interested
in mmap events, some may want just PERF_RECORD_MMAP, while some
may want the extra info in MMAP2 records.
perf probe:
Adrian Hunter:
- Fix getting the kernel map, because since changes related to x86 PTI
entry trampolines handling, there are more than one kernel map.
perf script:
Andi Kleen:
- Support insn output for normal samples, i.e.:
perf script -F ip,sym,insn --xed
Will fetch the sample IP from the thread address space and feed it
to Intel's XED disassembler, producing lines such as:
ffffffffa4068804 native_write_msr wrmsr
ffffffffa415b95e __hrtimer_next_event_base movq 0x18(%rax), %rdx
That match 'perf annotate's output.
- Make the --cpu filter apply to PERF_RECORD_COMM/FORK/... events, in
addition to PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE.
perf report:
- Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples
per hist entry, using a reservoir technique to select a representative
number of samples.
Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist
entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only
the thread or CPU of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search
functionality to directly jump to the time stamp of the selected sample.
It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler
needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.
- Fix the UI browser scripts pop up menu when there are many scripts
available.
perf report:
Andi Kleen:
- Add 'time' sort option. E.g.:
% perf report --sort time,overhead,symbol --time-quantum 1ms --stdio

tools headers:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Update x86's syscall_64.tbl, no change in tools/perf behaviour.
- Sync copies asm-generic/unistd.h and linux/in with the kernel sources.
perf data:
Jiri Olsa:
- Prep work to support having perf.data stored as a directory, with one
file per CPU, that ultimately will allow having one ring buffer reading
thread per CPU.
Vendor events:
Martin Liška:
- perf PMU events for AMD Family 17h.
perf script python:
Tony Jones:
- Add python3 support for the remaining Intel PT related scripts, with
these we should have a clean build of perf with python3 while still
supporting the build with python2.
libbpf:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Fix the build on uCLibc, adding the missing stdarg.h since we use
va_list in one typedef.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"The biggest change for this release is in the histogram code:
- Add "onchange(var)" histogram handler that executes a action when
$var changes.
- Add new "snapshot()" action for histogram handlers, that causes a
snapshot of the ring buffer when triggered. ie.
onchange(var).snapshot() will trigger a snapshot if var changes.
- Add alternative for "trace()" action. Currently, to trigger a
synthetic event, the name of that event is used as the handler
name, which is inconsistent with the other actions.
onchange(var).synthetic(param) where it can now be
onchange(var).trace(synthetic, param). The older method will still
be allowed, as long as the synthetic events do not overlap with
other handler names.
- The histogram documentation at testcases were updated for the new
changes.
Outside of the histogram code, we have:
- Added a quicker way to enable set_ftrace_filter files, that will
make it much quicker to bisect tracing a function that shouldn't be
traced and crashes the kernel. (You can echo in numbers to
set_ftrace_filter, and it will select the corresponding function
that is in available_filter_functions).
- Some better displaying of the tracing data (and more information
was added).
The rest are small fixes and more clean ups to the code"

On mmap(), perf_events generates a RECORD_MMAP record and then checks
which events are interested in this record. There are currently 2
versions of mmap records: RECORD_MMAP and RECORD_MMAP2. MMAP2 is larger.
The event configuration controls which version the user level tool
accepts.
If the event->attr.mmap2=1 field then MMAP2 record is returned. The
perf_event_mmap_output() takes care of this. It checks attr->mmap2 and
corrects the record fields before putting it in the sampling buffer of
the event. At the end the function restores the modified MMAP record
fields.
The problem is that the function restores the size but not the type.
Thus, if a subsequent event only accepts MMAP type, then it would
instead receive an MMAP2 record with a size of MMAP record.
This patch fixes the problem by restoring the record type on exit.

Currently, the AUX buffer allocator will use high-order allocations
for PMUs that don't support hardware scatter-gather chaining to ensure
large contiguous blocks of pages, and always use an array of single
pages otherwise.
There is, however, a tangible performance benefit in using larger chunks
of contiguous memory even in the latter case, that comes from not having
to fetch the next page's address at every page boundary. In particular,
a task running under Intel PT on an Atom CPU shows 1.5%-2% less runtime
penalty with a single multi-page output region in snapshot mode (no PMI)
than with multiple single-page output regions, from ~6% down to ~4%. For
the snapshot mode it does make a difference as it is intended to run over
long periods of time.
For this reason, change the allocation policy to always optimistically
start with the highest possible order when allocating pages for the AUX
buffer, desceding until the allocation succeeds or order zero allocation
fails.

Currently, the address range calculation for file-based filters works as
long as the vma that maps the matching part of the object file starts
from offset zero into the file (vm_pgoff==0). Otherwise, the resulting
filter range would be off by vm_pgoff pages. Another related problem is
that in case of a partially matching vma, that is, a vma that matches
part of a filter region, the filter range size wouldn't be adjusted.
Fix the arithmetics around address filter range calculations, taking
into account vma offset, so that the entire calculation is done before
the filter configuration is passed to the PMU drivers instead of having
those drivers do the final bit of arithmetics.

When a child event is allocated in the inherit_event() path, the VMA
based filter offsets are not copied from the parent, even though the
address space mapping of the new task remains the same, which leads to
no trace for the new task until exec.

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
- counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
- a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
- once counter reaches zero, its further
increments aren't allowed
- counter schema uses basic atomic operations
(set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)
Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.
The variable uprobe.ref is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.
**Important note for maintainers:
Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c
have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic
counterparts.
The full comparison can be seen in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/57 and it is hopefully soon
in state to be merged to the documentation tree.
Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides
enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in
some rare cases it might matter.
Please double check that you don't have some undocumented
memory guarantees for this variable usage.
For the uprobe.ref it might make a difference
in following places:
- put_uprobe(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only
provides RELEASE ordering and control dependency on success
vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart

The following commit:
9dff0aa95a32 ("perf/core: Don't WARN() for impossible ring-buffer sizes")
results in perf recording failures with larger mmap areas:
root@skl:/tmp# perf record -g -a
failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)
The root cause is that the following condition is buggy:
if (order_base_2(size) >= MAX_ORDER)
goto fail;
The problem is that @size is in bytes and MAX_ORDER is in pages,
so the right test is:
if (order_base_2(size) >= PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER)
goto fail;
Fix it.

The reason is that while event init code does several checks
for BTS events and prevents several unwanted config bits for
BTS event (like precise_ip), the PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD allows
to create BTS event without those checks being done.
Following sequence will cause the crash:
If we create an 'almost' BTS event with precise_ip and callchains,
and it into a BTS event it will crash the perf_prepare_sample()
function because precise_ip events are expected to come
in with callchain data initialized, but that's not the
case for intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() caller.
Adding a check_period callback to be called before the period
is changed via PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD. It will deny the change
if the event would become BTS. Plus adding also the limit_period
check as well.

Taking a sleeping lock to _only_ increment a variable is quite the
overkill, and pretty much all users do this. Furthermore, some drivers
(ie: infiniband and scif) that need pinned semantics can go to quite
some trouble to actually delay via workqueue (un)accounting for pinned
pages when not possible to acquire it.
By making the counter atomic we no longer need to hold the mmap_sem and
can simply some code around it for pinned_vm users. The counter is 64-bit
such that we need not worry about overflows such as rdma user input
controlled from userspace.

The perf tool uses /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb to determine how
large its ringbuffer mmap should be. This can be configured to arbitrary
values, which can be larger than the maximum possible allocation from
kmalloc.
When this is configured to a suitably large value (e.g. thanks to the
perf fuzzer), attempting to use perf record triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() in
__alloc_pages_nodemask():
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 5666 at mm/page_alloc.c:4511 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x3f8/0xbc8
Let's avoid this by checking that the requested allocation is possible
before calling kzalloc.

For better performance analysis of BPF programs, this patch introduces
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, a new perf_event_type that exposes BPF program
load/unload information to user space.
Each BPF program may contain up to BPF_MAX_SUBPROGS (256) sub programs.
The following example shows kernel symbols for a BPF program with 7 sub
programs:
ffffffffa0257cf9 t bpf_prog_b07ccb89267cf242_F
ffffffffa02592e1 t bpf_prog_2dcecc18072623fc_F
ffffffffa025b0e9 t bpf_prog_bb7a405ebaec5d5c_F
ffffffffa025dd2c t bpf_prog_a7540d4a39ec1fc7_F
ffffffffa025fcca t bpf_prog_05762d4ade0e3737_F
ffffffffa026108f t bpf_prog_db4bd11e35df90d4_F
ffffffffa0263f00 t bpf_prog_89d64e4abf0f0126_F
ffffffffa0257cf9 t bpf_prog_ae31629322c4b018__dummy_tracepoi
When a bpf program is loaded, PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL is generated for each
of these sub programs. Therefore, PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is not needed
for simple profiling.
For annotation, user space need to listen to PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and
gather more information about these (sub) programs via sys_bpf.

For the original mode of operation it isn't needed, since we report back
errors via PERF_RECORD_LOST records in the ring buffer, but for use in
bpf_perf_event_output() it is convenient to return the errors, basically
-ENOSPC.
Currently bpf_perf_event_output() returns an error indication, the last
thing it does, which is to push it to the ring buffer is that can fail
and if so, this failure won't be reported back to its users, fix it.

Many PMU drivers do not have the capability to exclude counting events
that occur in specific contexts such as idle, kernel, guest, etc. These
drivers indicate this by returning an error in their event_init upon
testing the events attribute flags. This approach is error prone and
often inconsistent.
Let's instead allow PMU drivers to advertise their inability to exclude
based on context via a new capability: PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE. This
allows the perf core to reject requests for exclusion events where
there is no support in the PMU.

The perf_proc_update_handler() handles /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
syctl variable. When the PMU IRQ handler timing monitoring is disabled, i.e,
when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent is equal to 0 or 100,
then no modification to sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate is allowed to prevent
possible hang from wrong values.
The problem is that the test to prevent modification is made after the
sysctl variable is modified in perf_proc_update_handler().
You get an error:
$ echo 10001 >/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
echo: write error: invalid argument
But the value is still modified causing all sorts of inconsistencies:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
10001
This patch fixes the problem by moving the parsing of the value after
the test.
Committer testing:
# echo 100 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent
# echo 10001 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
10001

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Uprobes: Fix kernel oops with delayed_uprobe_remove()

There could be a race between task exit and probe unregister:
exit_mm()
mmput()
__mmput() uprobe_unregister()
uprobe_clear_state() put_uprobe()
delayed_uprobe_remove() delayed_uprobe_remove()
put_uprobe() is calling delayed_uprobe_remove() without taking
delayed_uprobe_lock and thus the race sometimes results in a
kernel crash. Fix this by taking delayed_uprobe_lock before
calling delayed_uprobe_remove() from put_uprobe().

Commit:
142b18ddc8143 ("uprobes: Fix handle_swbp() vs unregister() + register() race")
added the UPROBE_COPY_INSN flag, and corresponding smp_wmb() and smp_rmb()
memory barriers, to ensure that handle_swbp() uses fully-initialized
uprobes only.
However, the smp_rmb() is mis-placed: this barrier should be placed
after handle_swbp() has tested for the flag, thus guaranteeing that
(program-order) subsequent loads from the uprobe can see the initial
stores performed by prepare_uprobe().
Move the smp_rmb() accordingly. Also amend the comments associated
to the two memory barriers to indicate their actual locations.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"The biggest change here is the updates to kprobes
Back in January I posted patches to create function based events.
These were the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to
easily create events in code where no trace event exists. After
posting those changes for review, it was suggested that we implement
this instead with kprobes.
The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and
needs to be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and
I've been playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in
the kprobe code that was inspired by the function based event patches,
and a couple of enhancements to the kprobe event interface.
- If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a
kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc
to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to
know what register or where on the stack the argument was).
- The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you
reference a mac address, you can add:
echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' > kprobe_events
And this will produce:
mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec}
Other changes include
- Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules
- Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove
tracing itself, as we keep removing too much).
- Added support for SDT in uprobes"

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
that work.
The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
fields.
At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
bytes.
This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.
I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.
Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the
complexity necessary to handle that case.
Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
signal numbers are handled"
