<title>perf/core: Avoid freeing static PMU contexts when PMU is unregistered</title>

<id>df0062b27ebf473b372914a3e3574d93790e2b72</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit:

  1fd7e4169954 ("perf/core: Remove perf_cpu_context::unique_pmu")

... when a PMU is unregistered then its associated -&gt;pmu_cpu_context is
unconditionally freed. Whilst this is fine for dynamically allocated
context types (i.e. those registered using perf_invalid_context), this
causes a problem for sharing of static contexts such as
perf_{sw,hw}_context, which are used by multiple built-in PMUs and
effectively have a global lifetime.

Whilst testing the ARM SPE driver, which must use perf_sw_context to
support per-task AUX tracing, unregistering the driver as a result of a
module unload resulted in:

 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000038
 Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
 Modules linked in: [last unloaded: arm_spe_pmu]
 PC is at ctx_resched+0x38/0xe8
 LR is at perf_event_exec+0x20c/0x278

 search_binary_handler+0x90/0x298
 do_execveat_common.isra.14+0x540/0x618
 SyS_execve+0x38/0x48

since the software context has been freed and the ctx.pmu-&gt;pmu_disable_count
field has been set to NULL.

This patch fixes the problem by avoiding the freeing of static PMU contexts
altogether. Whilst the sharing of dynamic contexts is questionable, this
actually requires the caller to share their context pointer explicitly
and so the burden is on them to manage the object lifetime.

<title>perf/aux: Only update -&gt;aux_wakeup in non-overwrite mode</title>

<id>441430eb54a00586f95f1aefc48e0801bbd6a923</id>
<content type='text'>
The following commit:

  d9a50b0256 ("perf/aux: Ensure aux_wakeup represents most recent wakeup index")

changed the AUX wakeup position calculation to rounddown(), which causes
a division-by-zero in AUX overwrite mode (aka "snapshot mode").

The zero denominator results from the fact that perf record doesn't set
aux_watermark to anything, in which case the kernel will set it to half
the AUX buffer size, but only for non-overwrite mode. In the overwrite
mode aux_watermark stays zero.

The good news is that, AUX overwrite mode, wakeups don't happen and
related bookkeeping is not relevant, so we can simply forego the whole
wakeup updates.

<title>bpf: one perf event close won't free bpf program attached by another perf event</title>

<id>ec9dd352d591f0c90402ec67a317c1ed4fb2e638</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes a bug exhibited by the following scenario:
  1. fd1 = perf_event_open with attr.config = ID1
  2. attach bpf program prog1 to fd1
  3. fd2 = perf_event_open with attr.config = ID1
     &lt;this will be successful&gt;
  4. user program closes fd2 and prog1 is detached from the tracepoint.
  5. user program with fd1 does not work properly as tracepoint
     no output any more.

The issue happens at step 4. Multiple perf_event_open can be called
successfully, but only one bpf prog pointer in the tp_event. In the
current logic, any fd release for the same tp_event will free
the tp_event-&gt;prog.

The fix is to free tp_event-&gt;prog only when the closing fd
corresponds to the one which registered the program.

Pull x86 cache quality monitoring update from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This update provides a complete rewrite of the Cache Quality
  Monitoring (CQM) facility.

  The existing CQM support was duct taped into perf with a lot of issues
  and the attempts to fix those turned out to be incomplete and
  horrible.

  After lengthy discussions it was decided to integrate the CQM support
  into the Resource Director Technology (RDT) facility, which is the
  obvious choise as in hardware CQM is part of RDT. This allowed to add
  Memory Bandwidth Monitoring support on top.

  As a result the mechanisms for allocating cache/memory bandwidth and
  the corresponding monitoring mechanisms are integrated into a single
  management facility with a consistent user interface"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Kernel side changes:

   - Add branch type profiling/tracing support. (Jin Yao)

   - Add the PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR ABI to allow the tracing/profiling of
     physical memory addresses, where the PMU supports it. (Kan Liang)

   - Export some PMU capability details in the new
     /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/ sysfs directory. (Andi
     Kleen)

   - Aux data fixes and updates (Will Deacon)

   - kprobes fixes and updates (Masami Hiramatsu)

   - AMD uncore PMU driver fixes and updates (Janakarajan Natarajan)

  On the tooling side, here's a (limited!) list of highlights - there
  were many other changes that I could not list, see the shortlog and
  git history for details:

  UI improvements:

   - Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the
     annotate TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work
     needed to have it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)

     Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:

             │   ┌──cmpl   $0x0,argp_program_version_hook
       81.93 │   ├──je     20
             │   │  lock   cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip)
             │   │↓ jne    29
             │   │↓ jmp    43
       11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)

     That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should
     be considered together.

   - Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about in
     callchain entries (Jin Yao)

     Example from one of Jin's patches:

        # perf record -g -j any,save_type
        # perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

        38.50%  div.c:45                [.] main                    div
                |
                ---main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:2)
                   compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2)
                   compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1)
                   rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1)
                   rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1)
                   __random random.c:298 (cycles:1)
                   __random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1)
                   __random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
                   __random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1)
                   __random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
                   __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9)

  namespaces support:

   - Add initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
     namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. (Krister Johansen)

  perf trace enhancements:

   - Beautify pkey_{alloc,free,mprotect} arguments in 'perf trace'
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Add initial 'clone' syscall args beautifier in 'perf trace'
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Ignore 'fd' and 'offset' args for MAP_ANONYMOUS in 'perf trace'
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including:
     sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events. (Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data'
     CTF conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show
     callchains and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien)

   - Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the
     sense that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the
     formatters of some arguments according to the value in a previous
     one, i.e. cmd dictates how arg and the syscall return will be
     formatted. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

  perf stat enhancements:

   - Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead
     when groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using
     {} to enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same
     time, e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa)

  pipe mode improvements:

   - Process tracing data in 'perf annotate' pipe mode (David
     Carrillo-Cisneros)

   - Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:

        $ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header

     Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
     file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

  Vendor specific hardware event support updates/enhancements:

   - Update POWER9 vendor events tables (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

   - Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)

   - Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)

   - Add Skylake server uncore JSON vendor events (Andi Kleen)

   - Support exporting Intel PT data to sqlite3 with python perf
     scripts, this is in addition to the postgresql support that was
     already there (Adrian Hunter)"
