It happens if nr_pages = 0:
rb->page_order = ilog2(nr_pages);Fix it by making both assignments conditional on nr_pages; since
otherwise they should both be 0 anyway, and will be because of the

There were two problems with the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism,
both triggered by the same action.When you (or perf_fuzzer) write a huge value into
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate the computed
perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes 0. This effectively disables the whole
dynamic throttle.This is fixed by ensuring update_perf_cpu_limits() never sets the
value to 0. However, we allow disabling of the dynamic throttle by
writing 100 to /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent. This will
generate a warning in dmesg.The second problem is that by setting the max_sample_rate to a huge
number, the adaptive process can take a few tries, since it halfs the
limit each time. Change that to directly compute a new value based on
the observed duration.Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel)

Its possible to IOC_PERIOD while the event is throttled, this would
re-start the event and the next tick would then try to unthrottle it,
and find the event wasn't actually stopped anymore.This would tickle a WARN in the x86-pmu code which isn't expecting to

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or

…rederic/linux-dynticks into timers/nohz
Pull nohz enhancements from Frederic Weisbecker:
"Currently in nohz full configs, the tick dependency is checked
asynchronously by nohz code from interrupt and context switch for each
concerned subsystem with a set of function provided by these. Such
functions are made of many conditions and details that can be heavyweight
as they are called on fastpath: sched_can_stop_tick(),
posix_cpu_timer_can_stop_tick(), perf_event_can_stop_tick()...Thomas suggested a few months ago to make that tick dependency check
synchronous. Instead of checking subsystems details from each interrupt
to guess if the tick can be stopped, every subsystem that may have a tick
dependency should set itself a flag specifying the state of that
dependency. This way we can verify if we can stop the tick with a single
lightweight mask check on fast path.This conversion from a pull to a push model to implement tick dependency
is the core feature of this patchset that is split into:* Nohz wide kick simplification
* Improve nohz tracing
* Introduce tick dependency mask
* Migrate scheduler, posix timers, perf events and sched clock tick
dependencies to the tick dependency mask."Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

The error path in perf_event_open() is such that asking for a sampling
event on a PMU that doesn't generate interrupts will end up in dropping
the perf_sched_count even though it hasn't been incremented for this
event yet.Given a sufficient amount of these calls, we'll end up disabling
scheduler's jump label even though we'd still have active events in the
system, thereby facilitating the arrival of the infernal regions upon us.I'm fixing this by moving account_event() inside perf_event_alloc().

Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify
perf event tick dependency, migrate perf to the new mask.Perf needs the tick for two situations:
1) Freq events. We could set the tick dependency when those are
installed on a CPU context. But setting a global dependency on top of
the global freq events accounting is much easier. If people want that
to be optimized, we can still refine that on the per-CPU tick dependency
level. This patch dooesn't change the current behaviour anyway.2) Throttled events: this is a per-cpu dependency.

As Jiri pointed out, this recent commit:
f872f5400cc0 ("mm: Add a vm_special_mapping.fault() method")
breaks uprobes: __create_xol_area() doesn't initialize the new ->fault()
method and this obviously leads to kernel crash when the application
tries to execute the probed insn after bp hit.We probably want to add uprobes_special_mapping_fault(), this allows to
turn xol_area->xol_mapping into a single instance of vm_special_mapping.
But we need a simple fix, so lets change __create_xol() to nullify the
new member as Jiri suggests.Suggested-by: Jiri Olsa

Currently any ctx_sched_in() call will re-start the ctx time tracking,
this means that calls like:ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_PINNED);
ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_FLEXIBLE);will have a hole in their ctx time tracking. This is likely harmless
but can confuse things a little. By adding EVENT_TIME, we can have the
first ctx_sched_in() (is_active: 0 -> !0) start the time and any
further ctx_sched_in() will leave the timestamps alone.Secondly, this allows for an early disable like:
ctx_sched_out(.event_type = EVENT_TIME);
which would update the ctx time (if the ctx is active) and any further
calls to ctx_sched_out() would not further modify the ctx time.For ctx_sched_in() any 0 -> !0 transition will automatically include
EVENT_TIME.For ctx_sched_out(), any transition that clears EVENT_ALL will
automatically clear EVENT_TIME.These two rules ensure that under normal circumstances we need not
bother with EVENT_TIME and get natural ctx time behaviour.Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel)

Because event_sched_out() checks event->pending_disable _before_
actually disabling the event, it can happen that the event fires after
it checks but before it gets disabled.This would leave event->pending_disable set and the queued irq_work
will try and process it.However, if the event trigger was during schedule(), the event might
have been de-scheduled by the time the irq_work runs, and
perf_event_disable_local() will fail.Fix this by checking event->pending_disable _after_ we call
event->pmu->del(). This depends on the latter being a compiler
barrier, such that the compiler does not lift the load and re-creates
the problem.Tested-by: Alexander Shishkin

perf_install_in_context() relies upon the context switch hooks to have
scheduled in events when the IPI misses its target -- after all, if
the task has moved from the CPU (or wasn't running at all), it will
have to context switch to run elsewhere.This however doesn't appear to be happening.
It is possible for the IPI to not happen (task wasn't running) only to
later observe the task running with an inactive context.The only possible explanation is that the context switch hooks are not
called. Therefore put in a sync_sched() after toggling the jump_label
to guarantee all CPUs will have them enabled before we install an
event.A simple if (0->1) sync_sched() will not in fact work, because any
further increment can race and complete before the sync_sched().
Therefore we must jump through some hoops.Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel)

hierarchy until we either close the event or no tasks are left in the
hierarchy.perf_event_init_context() will attempt to pin the 'parent' context
during clone(). At that point current is the parent, and since current
cannot have exited while executing clone(), its context cannot have
passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). Therefore
perf_pin_task_context() cannot observe ctx->task == TASK_TOMBSTONE.However, since inherit_event() does:
if (parent_event->parent)
parent_event = parent_event->parent;it looks at the 'original' event when it does: is_orphaned_event().
This can return true if the context that contains the this event has
passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). And thus we'll fail to
clone the perf context.Fix this by adding a new state: STATE_DEAD, which is set by
perf_release() to indicate that the filedesc (or kernel reference) is
dead and there are no observers for our data left.Only for STATE_DEAD will is_orphaned_event() be true and inhibit
cloning.STATE_EXIT is otherwise preserved such that is_event_hup() remains
functional and will report when the observed task hierarchy becomes
empty.Reported-by: Alexander Shishkin

In case of: err_file: fput(event_file), we'll end up calling
perf_release() which in turn will free the event.Do not then free the event _again_.

Consider the following scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
ctx = find_get_ctx();
perf_event_exit_task_context()
mutex_lock(&ctx->mutex);
perf_install_in_context(ctx, ...);
/* NO-OP */
mutex_unlock(&ctx->mutex);...
perf_release()
WARN_ON_ONCE(event->state != STATE_EXIT);Since the event doesn't pass through perf_remove_from_context()
because perf_install_in_context() NO-OPs because the ctx is dead, and
perf_event_exit_task_context() will not observe the event because its
not attached yet, the event->state will not be set.Solve this by revalidating ctx->task after we acquire ctx->mutex and
failing the event creation as a whole.Tested-by: Alexander Shishkin

If CPU_UP_PREPARE is called it is not guaranteed, that a previously allocated

By overwriting the pointer the existing hash is not longer accessible.Verify that there is no hash assigned on this cpu before allocating and

If CPU_DOWN_PREPARE fails the perf hotplug notifier is called for
CPU_DOWN_FAILED and calls perf_event_init_cpu(), which checks whether the
swhash is referenced. If yes it allocates a new hash and stores the pointer in
the per cpu data structure.But at this point the cpu is still online, so there must be a valid hash
already. By overwriting the pointer the existing hash is not longer
accessible.Remove the CPU_DOWN_FAILED state, as there is nothing to (re)allocate.

If CPU_UP_PREPARE fails the perf hotplug code calls perf_event_exit_cpu(),
which is a pointless exercise. The cpu is not online, so the smp function
calls return -ENXIO. So the result is a list walk to call noops.Remove it.

For protection keys, we need to understand whether protections
should be enforced in software or not. In general, we enforce
protections when working on our own task, but not when on others.
We call these "current" and "remote" operations.This patch introduces a new get_user_pages() variant:
get_user_pages_remote()
Which is a replacement for when get_user_pages() is called on
non-current tsk/mm.We also introduce a new gup flag: FOLL_REMOTE which can be used
for the "__" gup variants to get this new behavior.The uprobes is_trap_at_addr() location holds mmap_sem and
calls get_user_pages(current->mm) on an instruction address. This
makes it a pretty unique gup caller. Being an instruction access
and also really originating from the kernel (vs. the app), I opted
to consider this a 'remote' access where protection keys will not
be enforced.Without protection keys, this patch should not change any behavior.

Now that the perf_event_ctx_lock_nested() call has moved from
put_event() into perf_event_release_kernel() the first reason is no
longer valid as that can no longer happen.The second reason seems to have been invalidated when Al Viro made fput()
unconditionally async in the following commit:4a9d4b024a31 ("switch fput to task_work_add")
such that munmap()->fput()->release()->perf_release() would no longer happen.
Therefore, remove the annotation. This should increase the efficiency
of lockdep coverage of perf locking.Suggested-by: Alexander Shishkin

The orphan cleanup workqueue doesn't always catch orphans, for example,
if they never schedule after they are orphaned. IOW, the event leak is
still very real. It also wouldn't work for kernel counters.Doing it synchonously is a little hairy due to lock inversion issues,
but is made to work.Patch based on work by Alexander Shishkin.

There are two concepts of owner wrt an event and they are conflated:
- event::owner / event::owner_list,
used by prctl(.option = PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_{EN,DIS}ABLE).- the 'owner' of the event object, typically the file descriptor.
Currently these two concepts are conflated, which gives trouble with
scm_rights passing of file descriptors. Passing the event and then
closing the creating task would render the event 'orphan' and would
have it cleared out. Unlikely what is expectd.This patch untangles these two concepts by using PERF_EVENT_STATE_EXIT
to denote the second type.Reported-by: Alexei Starovoitov
