mm: replace get_user_pages_remote() write/force parameters with gup_flags

2016-10-19T15:12:02+00:00

This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_user_pages_remote() and
replaces them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in
callers as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and
hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

perf/core: Limit matching exclusive events to one PMU

2016-09-22T12:56:09+00:00

An "exclusive" PMU is the one that can only have one event scheduled in
at any given time. There may be more than one of such PMUs in a system,
though, like Intel PT and BTS. It should be allowed to have one event
for either of those inside the same context (there may be other constraints
that may prevent this, but those would be hardware-specific). However,
the exclusivity code is written so that only one event from any of the
"exclusive" PMUs is allowed in a context.

Fix this by making the exclusive event filter explicitly match two events'
PMUs.

perf/core: Fix aux_mmap_count vs aux_refcount order

2016-09-10T09:15:36+00:00

The order of accesses to ring buffer's aux_mmap_count and aux_refcount
has to be preserved across the users, namely perf_mmap_close() and
perf_aux_output_begin(), otherwise the inversion can result in the latter
holding the last reference to the aux buffer and subsequently free'ing
it in atomic context, triggering a warning.

This patch puts the checks in perf_aux_output_begin() in the same order
as that of perf_mmap_close().

perf/core: Fix a race between mmap_close() and set_output() of AUX events

2016-09-10T09:15:36+00:00

In the mmap_close() path we need to stop all the AUX events that are
writing data to the AUX area that we are unmapping, before we can
safely free the pages. To determine if an event needs to be stopped,
we're comparing its ->rb against the one that's getting unmapped.
However, a SET_OUTPUT ioctl may turn up inside an AUX transaction
and swizzle event::rb to some other ring buffer, but the transaction
will keep writing data to the old ring buffer until the event gets
scheduled out. At this point, mmap_close() will skip over such an
event and will proceed to free the AUX area, while it's still being
used by this event, which will set off a warning in the mmap_close()
path and cause a memory corruption.

To avoid this, always stop an AUX event before its ->rb is updated;
this will release the (potentially) last reference on the AUX area
of the buffer. If the event gets restarted, its new ring buffer will
be used. If another SET_OUTPUT comes and switches it back to the
old ring buffer that's getting unmapped, it's also fine: this
ring buffer's aux_mmap_count will be zero and AUX transactions won't
start any more.

perf, bpf: fix conditional call to bpf_overflow_handler

2016-09-06T23:34:14+00:00

The newly added bpf_overflow_handler function is only built of both
CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING and CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL are enabled, but the caller
only checks the latter:

kernel/events/core.c: In function 'perf_event_alloc':
kernel/events/core.c:9106:27: error: 'bpf_overflow_handler' undeclared (first use in this function)

This changes the caller so we also skip this call if CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING
is disabled entirely.
