Add new set of arguments to bpf_attr for BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN:
* ctx_in/ctx_size_in - input context
* ctx_out/ctx_size_out - output context
The intended use case is to pass some meta data to the test runs that
operate on skb (this has being brought up on recent LPC).
For programs that use bpf_prog_test_run_skb, support __sk_buff input and
output. Initially, from input __sk_buff, copy _only_ cb and priority into
skb, all other non-zero fields are prohibited (with EINVAL).
If the user has set ctx_out/ctx_size_out, copy the potentially modified
__sk_buff back to the userspace.
We require all fields of input __sk_buff except the ones we explicitly
support to be set to zero. The expectation is that in the future we might
add support for more fields and we want to fail explicitly if the user
runs the program on the kernel where we don't yet support them.
The API is intentionally vague (i.e. we don't explicitly add __sk_buff
to bpf_attr, but ctx_in) to potentially let other test_run types use
this interface in the future (this can be xdp_md for xdp types for
example).
v4:
* don't copy more than allowed in bpf_ctx_init [Martin]
v3:
* handle case where ctx_in is NULL, but ctx_out is not [Martin]
* convert size==0 checks to ptr==NULL checks and add some extra ptr
checks [Martin]
v2:
* Addressed comments from Martin Lau

Given we'll be reusing BPF array maps for global data/bss/rodata
sections, we need a way to associate BTF DataSec type as its map
value type. In usual cases we have this ugly BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR()
macro hack e.g. via 38d5d3b3d5db ("bpf: Introduce BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR")
to get initial map to type association going. While more use cases
for it are discouraged, this also won't work for global data since
the use of array map is a BPF loader detail and therefore unknown
at compilation time. For array maps with just a single entry we make
an exception in terms of BTF in that key type is declared optional
if value type is of DataSec type. The latter LLVM is guaranteed to
emit and it also aligns with how we regard global data maps as just
a plain buffer area reusing existing map facilities for allowing
things like introspection with existing tools.

This work adds kernel-side verification, logging and seq_show dumping
of BTF Var and DataSec kinds which are emitted with latest LLVM. The
following constraints apply:
BTF Var must have:
- Its kind_flag is 0
- Its vlen is 0
- Must point to a valid type
- Type must not resolve to a forward type
- Size of underlying type must be > 0
- Must have a valid name
- Can only be a source type, not sink or intermediate one
- Name may include dots (e.g. in case of static variables
inside functions)
- Cannot be a member of a struct/union
- Linkage so far can either only be static or global/allocated
BTF DataSec must have:
- Its kind_flag is 0
- Its vlen cannot be 0
- Its size cannot be 0
- Must have a valid name
- Can only be a source type, not sink or intermediate one
- Name may include dots (e.g. to represent .bss, .data, .rodata etc)
- Cannot be a member of a struct/union
- Inner btf_var_secinfo array with {type,offset,size} triple
must be sorted by offset in ascending order
- Type must always point to BTF Var
- BTF resolved size of Var must be <= size provided by triple
- DataSec size must be >= sum of triple sizes (thus holes
are allowed)
btf_var_resolve(), btf_ptr_resolve() and btf_modifier_resolve()
are on a high level quite similar but each come with slight,
subtle differences. They could potentially be a bit refactored
in future which hasn't been done here to ease review.

Trivial addition to allow '.' aside from '_' as "special" characters
in the object name. Used to allow for substrings in maps from loader
side such as ".bss", ".data", ".rodata", but could also be useful for
other purposes.

This patch adds a new BPF_MAP_FREEZE command which allows to
"freeze" the map globally as read-only / immutable from syscall
side.
Map permission handling has been refactored into map_get_sys_perms()
and drops FMODE_CAN_WRITE in case of locked map. Main use case is
to allow for setting up .rodata sections from the BPF ELF which
are loaded into the kernel, meaning BPF loader first allocates
map, sets up map value by copying .rodata section into it and once
complete, it calls BPF_MAP_FREEZE on the map fd to prevent further
modifications.
Right now BPF_MAP_FREEZE only takes map fd as argument while remaining
bpf_attr members are required to be zero. I didn't add write-only
locking here as counterpart since I don't have a concrete use-case
for it on my side, and I think it makes probably more sense to wait
once there is actually one. In that case bpf_attr can be extended
as usual with a flag field and/or others where flag 0 means that
we lock the map read-only hence this doesn't prevent to add further
extensions to BPF_MAP_FREEZE upon need.
A map creation flag like BPF_F_WRONCE was not considered for couple
of reasons: i) in case of a generic implementation, a map can consist
of more than just one element, thus there could be multiple map
updates needed to set the map into a state where it can then be
made immutable, ii) WRONCE indicates exact one-time write before
it is then set immutable. A generic implementation would set a bit
atomically on map update entry (if unset), indicating that every
subsequent update from then onwards will need to bail out there.
However, map updates can fail, so upon failure that flag would need
to be unset again and the update attempt would need to be repeated
for it to be eventually made immutable. While this can be made
race-free, this approach feels less clean and in combination with
reason i), it's not generic enough. A dedicated BPF_MAP_FREEZE
command directly sets the flag and caller has the guarantee that
map is immutable from syscall side upon successful return for any
future syscall invocations that would alter the map state, which
is also more intuitive from an API point of view. A command name
such as BPF_MAP_LOCK has been avoided as it's too close with BPF
map spin locks (which already has BPF_F_LOCK flag). BPF_MAP_FREEZE
is so far only enabled for privileged users.

This work adds two new map creation flags BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG
and BPF_F_WRONLY_PROG in order to allow for read-only or
write-only BPF maps from a BPF program side.
Today we have BPF_F_RDONLY and BPF_F_WRONLY, but this only
applies to system call side, meaning the BPF program has full
read/write access to the map as usual while bpf(2) calls with
map fd can either only read or write into the map depending
on the flags. BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG and BPF_F_WRONLY_PROG allows
for the exact opposite such that verifier is going to reject
program loads if write into a read-only map or a read into a
write-only map is detected. For read-only map case also some
helpers are forbidden for programs that would alter the map
state such as map deletion, update, etc. As opposed to the two
BPF_F_RDONLY / BPF_F_WRONLY flags, BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG as well
as BPF_F_WRONLY_PROG really do correspond to the map lifetime.
We've enabled this generic map extension to various non-special
maps holding normal user data: array, hash, lru, lpm, local
storage, queue and stack. Further generic map types could be
followed up in future depending on use-case. Main use case
here is to forbid writes into .rodata map values from verifier
side.

Both BPF_F_WRONLY / BPF_F_RDONLY flags are tied to the map file
descriptor, but not to the map object itself! Meaning, at map
creation time BPF_F_RDONLY can be set to make the map read-only
from syscall side, but this holds only for the returned fd, so
any other fd either retrieved via bpf file system or via map id
for the very same underlying map object can have read-write access
instead.
Given that, keeping the two flags around in the map_flags attribute
and exposing them to user space upon map dump is misleading and
may lead to false conclusions. Since these two flags are not
tied to the map object lets also not store them as map property.

This generic extension to BPF maps allows for directly loading
an address residing inside a BPF map value as a single BPF
ldimm64 instruction!
The idea is similar to what BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD does today, which
is a special src_reg flag for ldimm64 instruction that indicates
that inside the first part of the double insns's imm field is a
file descriptor which the verifier then replaces as a full 64bit
address of the map into both imm parts. For the newly added
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE src_reg flag, the idea is the following:
the first part of the double insns's imm field is again a file
descriptor corresponding to the map, and the second part of the
imm field is an offset into the value. The verifier will then
replace both imm parts with an address that points into the BPF
map value at the given value offset for maps that support this
operation. Currently supported is array map with single entry.
It is possible to support more than just single map element by
reusing both 16bit off fields of the insns as a map index, so
full array map lookup could be expressed that way. It hasn't
been implemented here due to lack of concrete use case, but
could easily be done so in future in a compatible way, since
both off fields right now have to be 0 and would correctly
denote a map index 0.
The BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE is a distinct flag as otherwise with
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD we could not differ offset 0 between load of
map pointer versus load of map's value at offset 0, and changing
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD's encoding into off by one to differ between
regular map pointer and map value pointer would add unnecessary
complexity and increases barrier for debugability thus less
suitable. Using the second part of the imm field as an offset
into the value does /not/ come with limitations since maximum
possible value size is in u32 universe anyway.
This optimization allows for efficiently retrieving an address
to a map value memory area without having to issue a helper call
which needs to prepare registers according to calling convention,
etc, without needing the extra NULL test, and without having to
add the offset in an additional instruction to the value base
pointer. The verifier then treats the destination register as
PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE with constant reg->off from the user passed
offset from the second imm field, and guarantees that this is
within bounds of the map value. Any subsequent operations are
normally treated as typical map value handling without anything
extra needed from verification side.
The two map operations for direct value access have been added to
array map for now. In future other types could be supported as
well depending on the use case. The main use case for this commit
is to allow for BPF loader support for global variables that
reside in .data/.rodata/.bss sections such that we can directly
load the address of them with minimal additional infrastructure
required. Loader support has been added in subsequent commits for
libbpf library.

check_stack_access() that prints verbose log is used in
adjust_ptr_min_max_vals() that prints its own verbose log and now they
stick together, e.g.:
variable stack access var_off=(0xfffffffffffffff0; 0x4) off=-16
size=1R2 stack pointer arithmetic goes out of range, prohibited for
!root
Add missing newline so that log is more readable:
variable stack access var_off=(0xfffffffffffffff0; 0x4) off=-16 size=1
R2 stack pointer arithmetic goes out of range, prohibited for !root

As discussed in [1] max value of variable offset has to be checked for
overflow on stack access otherwise verifier would accept code like this:
0: (b7) r2 = 6
1: (b7) r3 = 28
2: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = 0
3: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = 0
4: (79) r4 = *(u64 *)(r1 +168)
5: (c5) if r4 s< 0x0 goto pc+4
R1=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0) R2=inv6 R3=inv28
R4=inv(id=0,umax_value=9223372036854775807,var_off=(0x0;
0x7fffffffffffffff)) R10=fp0,call_-1 fp-8=mmmmmmmm fp-16=mmmmmmmm
6: (17) r4 -= 16
7: (0f) r4 += r10
8: (b7) r5 = 8
9: (85) call bpf_getsockopt#57
10: (b7) r0 = 0
11: (95) exit
, where R4 obviosly has unbounded max value.
Fix it by checking that reg->smax_value is inside (-BPF_MAX_VAR_OFF;
BPF_MAX_VAR_OFF) range.
reg->smax_value is used instead of reg->umax_value because stack
pointers are calculated using negative offset from fp. This is opposite
to e.g. map access where offset must be non-negative and where
umax_value is used.
Also dedicated verbose logs are added for both min and max bound check
failures to have diagnostics consistent with variable offset handling in
check_map_access().

Proper support of indirect stack access with variable offset in
unprivileged mode (!root) requires corresponding support in Spectre
masking for stack ALU in retrieve_ptr_limit().
There are no use-case for variable offset in unprivileged mode though so
make verifier reject such accesses for simplicity.
Pointer arithmetics is one (and only?) way to cause variable offset and
it's already rejected in unpriv mode so that verifier won't even get to
helper function whose argument contains variable offset, e.g.:
0: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = 0
1: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = 0
2: (61) r2 = *(u32 *)(r1 +0)
3: (57) r2 &= 4
4: (17) r2 -= 16
5: (0f) r2 += r10
variable stack access var_off=(0xfffffffffffffff0; 0x4) off=-16 size=1R2
stack pointer arithmetic goes out of range, prohibited for !root
Still it looks like a good idea to reject variable offset indirect stack
access for unprivileged mode in check_stack_boundary() explicitly.

It's hard to guarantee that whole memory is marked as initialized on
helper return if uninitialized stack is accessed with variable offset
since specific bounds are unknown to verifier. This may cause
uninitialized stack leaking.
Reject such an access in check_stack_boundary to prevent possible
leaking.
There are no known use-cases for indirect uninitialized stack access
with variable offset so it shouldn't break anything.

The existing 16Mbyte verifier log limit is not enough for log_level=2
even for small programs. Increase it to 1Gbyte.
Note it's not a kernel memory limit.
It's an amount of memory user space provides to store
the verifier log. The kernel populates it 1k at a time.

Large verifier speed improvements allow to increase
verifier complexity limit.
Now regardless of the program composition and its size it takes
little time for the verifier to hit insn_processed limit.
On typical x86 machine non-debug kernel processes 1M instructions
in 1/10 of a second.
(before these speed improvements specially crafted programs
could be hitting multi-second verification times)
Full kasan kernel with debug takes ~1 second for the same 1M insns.
Hence bump the BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_INSNS limit to 1M.
Also increase the number of instructions per program
from 4k to internal BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_INSNS limit.
4k limit was confusing to users, since small programs with hundreds
of insns could be hitting BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_INSNS limit.
Sometimes adding more insns and bpf_trace_printk debug statements
would make the verifier accept the program while removing
code would make the verifier reject it.
Some user space application started to add #define MAX_FOO to
their programs and do:
MAX_FOO=100;
again:
compile with MAX_FOO;
try to load;
if (fails_to_load) { reduce MAX_FOO; goto again; }
to be able to fit maximum amount of processing into single program.
Other users artificially split their single program into a set of programs
and use all 32 iterations of tail_calls to increase compute limits.
And the most advanced folks used unlimited tc-bpf filter list
to execute many bpf programs.
Essentially the users managed to workaround 4k insn limit.
This patch removes the limit for root programs from uapi.
BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_INSNS is the kernel internal limit
and success to load the program no longer depends on program size,
but on 'smartness' of the verifier only.
The verifier will continue to get smarter with every kernel release.

With large verifier speed improvement brought by the previous patch
mark_reg_read() becomes the hottest function during verification.
On a typical program it consumes 40% of cpu.
mark_reg_read() walks parentage chain of registers to mark parents as LIVE_READ.
Once the register is marked there is no need to remark it again in the future.
Hence stop walking the chain once first LIVE_READ is seen.
This optimization drops mark_reg_read() time from 40% of cpu to <1%
and overall 2x improvement of verification speed.
For some programs the longest_mark_read_walk counter improves from ~500 to ~5

Branch instructions, branch targets and calls in a bpf program are
the places where the verifier remembers states that led to successful
verification of the program.
These states are used to prune brute force program analysis.
For unprivileged programs there is a limit of 64 states per such
'branching' instructions (maximum length is tracked by max_states_per_insn
counter introduced in the previous patch).
Simply reducing this threshold to 32 or lower increases insn_processed
metric to the point that small valid programs get rejected.
For root programs there is no limit and cilium programs can have
max_states_per_insn to be 100 or higher.
Walking 100+ states multiplied by number of 'branching' insns during
verification consumes significant amount of cpu time.
Turned out simple LRU-like mechanism can be used to remove states
that unlikely will be helpful in future search pruning.
This patch introduces hit_cnt and miss_cnt counters:
hit_cnt - this many times this state successfully pruned the search
miss_cnt - this many times this state was not equivalent to other states
(and that other states were added to state list)
The heuristic introduced in this patch is:
if (sl->miss_cnt > sl->hit_cnt * 3 + 3)
/* drop this state from future considerations */
Higher numbers increase max_states_per_insn (allow more states to be
considered for pruning) and slow verification speed, but do not meaningfully
reduce insn_processed metric.
Lower numbers drop too many states and insn_processed increases too much.
Many different formulas were considered.
This one is simple and works well enough in practice.
(the analysis was done on selftests/progs/* and on cilium programs)
The end result is this heuristic improves verification speed by 10 times.
Large synthetic programs that used to take a second more now take
1/10 of a second.
In cases where max_states_per_insn used to be 100 or more, now it's ~10.
There is a slight increase in insn_processed for cilium progs:

In order to understand the verifier bottlenecks add various stats
and extend log_level:
log_level 1 and 2 are kept as-is:
bit 0 - level=1 - print every insn and verifier state at branch points
bit 1 - level=2 - print every insn and verifier state at every insn
bit 2 - level=4 - print verifier error and stats at the end of verification
When verifier rejects the program the libbpf is trying to load the program twice.
Once with log_level=0 (no messages, only error code is reported to user space)
and second time with log_level=1 to tell the user why the verifier rejected it.
With introduction of bit 2 - level=4 the libbpf can choose to always use that
level and load programs once, since the verification speed is not affected and
in case of error the verbose message will be available.
Note that the verifier stats are not part of uapi just like all other
verbose messages. They're expected to change in the future.

Currently there is a difference in how verifier checks memory access for
helper arguments for PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE and PTR_TO_STACK with regard to
variable part of offset.
check_map_access, that is used for PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE, can handle variable
offsets just fine, so that BPF program can call a helper like this:
some_helper(map_value_ptr + off, size);
, where offset is unknown at load time, but is checked by program to be
in a safe rage (off >= 0 && off + size < map_value_size).
But it's not the case for check_stack_boundary, that is used for
PTR_TO_STACK, and same code with pointer to stack is rejected by
verifier:
some_helper(stack_value_ptr + off, size);
For example:
0: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = 0
1: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = 0
2: (61) r2 = *(u32 *)(r1 +0)
3: (57) r2 &= 4
4: (17) r2 -= 16
5: (0f) r2 += r10
6: (18) r1 = 0xffff888111343a80
8: (85) call bpf_map_lookup_elem#1
invalid variable stack read R2 var_off=(0xfffffffffffffff0; 0x4)
Add support for variable offset access to check_stack_boundary so that
if offset is checked by program to be in a safe range it's accepted by
verifier.

Commit 7640ead93924 ("bpf: verifier: make sure callees don't prune
with caller differences") connected up parentage chains of all
frames of the stack. It didn't, however, ensure propagate_liveness()
propagates all liveness information along those chains.
This means pruning happening in the callee may generate explored
states with incomplete liveness for the chains in lower frames
of the stack.
The included selftest is similar to the prior one from commit
7640ead93924 ("bpf: verifier: make sure callees don't prune with
caller differences"), where callee would prune regardless of the
difference in r8 state.
Now we also initialize r9 to 0 or 1 based on a result from get_random().
r9 is never read so the walk with r9 = 0 gets pruned (correctly) after
the walk with r9 = 1 completes.
The selftest is so arranged that the pruning will happen in the
callee. Since callee does not propagate read marks of r8, the
explored state at the pruning point prior to the callee will
now ignore r8.
Propagate liveness on all frames of the stack when pruning.

When kzalloc() fails in push_stack(), free_verifier_state() will free
current verifier state. As push_stack() returns, dst_reg was restored
if ptr_is_dst_reg is false. However, as member of the cur_state,
dst_reg is also freed, and error occurs when dereferencing dst_reg.
Simply fix it by testing ret of push_stack() before restoring dst_reg.

Naresh reported that test_align fails because of the mismatch at the
verbose printout of the register states. The reason is due to the newly
added ref_obj_id.
ref_obj_id is only useful for refcounted reg. Thus, this patch fixes it
by only printing ref_obj_id for refcounted reg. While at it, it also uses
comma instead of space to separate between "id" and "ref_obj_id".

It has been observed that sometimes a higher order memory allocation
for BPF maps fails when there is no obvious memory pressure in a system.
E.g. the map (BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_HASH, key=38, value=56, max_elems=524288)
could not be created due to vmalloc unable to allocate 75497472B,
when the system's memory consumption (in MB) was the following:
Total: 3942 Used: 837 (21.24%) Free: 138 Buffers: 239 Cached: 2727
Later analysis [1] by Michal Hocko showed that the vmalloc was not trying
to reclaim memory from the page cache and was failing prematurely due to
__GFP_NORETRY.
Considering dcda9b0471 ("mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic") and [1], we can replace
__GFP_NORETRY with __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL, as it won't invoke OOM killer
and will try harder to fulfil allocation requests.
Unfortunately, replacing the body of the BPF map memory allocation
function with the kvmalloc_node helper function is not an option at
this point in time, given 1) kmalloc is non-optional for higher order
allocations, and 2) passing __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to the kmalloc would
stress the slab allocator too much for large requests.
The change has been tested with the workloads mentioned above and by
observing oom_kill value from /proc/vmstat.

Commit 656fe2ba85e8 (tracing: Use hist trigger's var_ref array to
destroy var_refs) centralized the destruction of all the var_refs
in one place so that other code didn't have to do it.
The track_data_destroy() added later ignored that and also destroyed
the track_data var_ref, causing a double-free error flagged by KASAN.

The LLC NOHZ condition will become true as soon as >=2 CPUs in a
single LLC domain are busy. On big.LITTLE systems, this translates to
two or more CPUs of a "cluster" (big or LITTLE) being busy.
Issuing a NOHZ kick in these conditions isn't desired for asymmetric
systems, as if the busy CPUs can provide enough compute capacity to
the running tasks, then we can leave the NOHZ CPUs in peace.
Skip the LLC NOHZ condition for asymmetric systems, and rely on
nr_running & capacity checks to trigger NOHZ kicks when the system
actually needs them.

In this commit:
3b1baa6496e6 ("sched/fair: Add 'group_misfit_task' load-balance type")
we set rq->misfit_task_load whenever the current running task has a
utilization greater than 80% of rq->cpu_capacity. A non-zero value in
this field enables misfit load balancing.
However, if the task being looked at is already running on a CPU of
highest capacity, there's nothing more we can do for it. We can
currently spot this in update_sd_pick_busiest(), which prevents us
from selecting a sched_group of group_type == group_misfit_task as the
busiest group, but we don't do any of that in nohz_balancer_kick().
This means that we could repeatedly kick NOHZ CPUs when there's no
improvements in terms of load balance to be done.
Introduce a check_misfit_status() helper that returns true iff there
is a CPU in the system that could give more CPU capacity to a rq's
misfit task - IOW, there exists a CPU of higher capacity_orig or the
rq's CPU is severely pressured by rt/IRQ.

Vincent Wang reported that get_next_freq() has a mult overflow bug on
32-bit platforms in the IOWAIT boost case, since in that case {util,max}
are in freq units instead of capacity units.
Solve this by moving the IOWAIT boost to capacity units. And since this
means @max is constant; simplify the code.

Pull perf updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A larger set of perf updates.
Not all of them are strictly fixes, but that's solely the tip
maintainers fault as they let the timely -rc1 pull request fall
through the cracks for various reasons including travel. So I'm
sending this nevertheless because rebasing and distangling fixes and
updates would be a mess and risky as well. As of tomorrow, a strict
fixes separation is happening again. Sorry for the slip-up.
Kernel:
- Handle RECORD_MMAP vs. RECORD_MMAP2 correctly so different
consumers of the mmap event get what they requested.
Tools:
- A larger set of updates to perf record/report/scripts vs. time
stamp handling
- More Python3 fixups
- A pile of memory leak plumbing
- perf BPF improvements and fixes
- Finalize the perf.data directory storage"

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.

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.

The futex code requires that the user space addresses of futexes are 32bit
aligned. sys_futex() checks this in futex_get_keys() but the robust list
code has no alignment check in place.
As a consequence the kernel crashes on architectures with strict alignment
requirements in handle_futex_death() when trying to cmpxchg() on an
unaligned futex address which was retrieved from the robust list.

The recent change to prevent use after free and a memory leak introduced an
unconditional call to wq_unregister_lockdep() in the error handling
path. If the lockdep key had not been registered yet, then the lockdep core
emits a warning.
Only call wq_unregister_lockdep() if wq_register_lockdep() has been
called first.

Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/
as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle
will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to
the processes they refer to.
With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct
pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited
its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal
to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process.
With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious
example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of
process management - sending signals - to processes other than the
parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm
rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled
in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given
process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is
quite handy.
There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems
management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested
and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is
suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on
most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for
the future once they are needed.
This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not
caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic
functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via
a pidfd.
Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should
cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then:
https://lwn.net/Articles/773459/
The commit message for the syscall itself is extensively documenting
the syscall, including it's functionality and extensibility"

The kill() syscall operates on process identifiers (pid). After a process
has exited its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a
signal to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process. This
issue has often surfaced and there has been a push to address this problem [1].
This patch uses file descriptors (fd) from proc/<pid> as stable handles on
struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle will not change. The fd
can be used to send signals to the process it refers to.
Thus, the new syscall pidfd_send_signal() is introduced to solve this
problem. Instead of pids it operates on process fds (pidfd).
/* prototype and argument /*
long pidfd_send_signal(int pidfd, int sig, siginfo_t *info, unsigned int flags);
/* syscall number 424 */
The syscall number was chosen to be 424 to align with Arnd's rework in his
y2038 to minimize merge conflicts (cf. [25]).
In addition to the pidfd and signal argument it takes an additional
siginfo_t and flags argument. If the siginfo_t argument is NULL then
pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to kill(<positive-pid>, <signal>). If it
is not NULL pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to rt_sigqueueinfo().
The flags argument is added to allow for future extensions of this syscall.
It currently needs to be passed as 0. Failing to do so will cause EINVAL.
/* pidfd_send_signal() replaces multiple pid-based syscalls */
The pidfd_send_signal() syscall currently takes on the job of
rt_sigqueueinfo(2) and parts of the functionality of kill(2), Namely, when a
positive pid is passed to kill(2). It will however be possible to also
replace tgkill(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) if this syscall is extended.
/* sending signals to threads (tid) and process groups (pgid) */
Specifically, the pidfd_send_signal() syscall does currently not operate on
process groups or threads. This is left for future extensions.
In order to extend the syscall to allow sending signal to threads and
process groups appropriately named flags (e.g. PIDFD_TYPE_PGID, and
PIDFD_TYPE_TID) should be added. This implies that the flags argument will
determine what is signaled and not the file descriptor itself. Put in other
words, grouping in this api is a property of the flags argument not a
property of the file descriptor (cf. [13]). Clarification for this has been
requested by Eric (cf. [19]).
When appropriate extensions through the flags argument are added then
pidfd_send_signal() can additionally replace the part of kill(2) which
operates on process groups as well as the tgkill(2) and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) syscalls.
How such an extension could be implemented has been very roughly sketched
in [14], [15], and [16]. However, this should not be taken as a commitment
to a particular implementation. There might be better ways to do it.
Right now this is intentionally left out to keep this patchset as simple as
possible (cf. [4]).
/* naming */
The syscall had various names throughout iterations of this patchset:
- procfd_signal()
- procfd_send_signal()
- taskfd_send_signal()
In the last round of reviews it was pointed out that given that if the
flags argument decides the scope of the signal instead of different types
of fds it might make sense to either settle for "procfd_" or "pidfd_" as
prefix. The community was willing to accept either (cf. [17] and [18]).
Given that one developer expressed strong preference for the "pidfd_"
prefix (cf. [13]) and with other developers less opinionated about the name
we should settle for "pidfd_" to avoid further bikeshedding.
The "_send_signal" suffix was chosen to reflect the fact that the syscall
takes on the job of multiple syscalls. It is therefore intentional that the
name is not reminiscent of neither kill(2) nor rt_sigqueueinfo(2). Not the
fomer because it might imply that pidfd_send_signal() is a replacement for
kill(2), and not the latter because it is a hassle to remember the correct
spelling - especially for non-native speakers - and because it is not
descriptive enough of what the syscall actually does. The name
"pidfd_send_signal" makes it very clear that its job is to send signals.
/* zombies */
Zombies can be signaled just as any other process. No special error will be
reported since a zombie state is an unreliable state (cf. [3]). However,
this can be added as an extension through the @flags argument if the need
ever arises.
/* cross-namespace signals */
The patch currently enforces that the signaler and signalee either are in
the same pid namespace or that the signaler's pid namespace is an ancestor
of the signalee's pid namespace. This is done for the sake of simplicity
and because it is unclear to what values certain members of struct
siginfo_t would need to be set to (cf. [5], [6]).
/* compat syscalls */
It became clear that we would like to avoid adding compat syscalls
(cf. [7]). The compat syscall handling is now done in kernel/signal.c
itself by adding __copy_siginfo_from_user_generic() which lets us avoid
compat syscalls (cf. [8]). It should be noted that the addition of
__copy_siginfo_from_user_any() is caused by a bug in the original
implementation of rt_sigqueueinfo(2) (cf. 12).
With upcoming rework for syscall handling things might improve
significantly (cf. [11]) and __copy_siginfo_from_user_any() will not gain
any additional callers.
/* testing */
This patch was tested on x64 and x86.
/* userspace usage */
An asciinema recording for the basic functionality can be found under [9].

Q-01: (Florian Weimer [20], Andrew Morton [21])
What happens when the target process has exited?
A-01: Sending the signal will fail with ESRCH (cf. [22]).
Q-02: (Andrew Morton [21])
Is the task_struct pinned by the fd?
A-02: No. A reference to struct pid is kept. struct pid - as far as I
understand - was created exactly for the reason to not require to
pin struct task_struct (cf. [22]).
Q-03: (Andrew Morton [21])
Does the entire procfs directory remain visible? Just one entry
within it?
A-03: The same thing that happens right now when you hold a file descriptor
to /proc/<pid> open (cf. [22]).
Q-04: (Andrew Morton [21])
Does the pid remain reserved?
A-04: No. This patchset guarantees a stable handle not that pids are not
recycled (cf. [22]).
Q-05: (Andrew Morton [21])
Do attempts to signal that fd return errors?
A-05: See {Q,A}-01.
Q-06: (Andrew Morton [22])
Is there a cleaner way of obtaining the fd? Another syscall perhaps.
A-06: Userspace can already trivially retrieve file descriptors from procfs
so this is something that we will need to support anyway. Hence,
there's no immediate need to add another syscalls just to make
pidfd_send_signal() not dependent on the presence of procfs. However,
adding a syscalls to get such file descriptors is planned for a
future patchset (cf. [22]).
Q-07: (Andrew Morton [21] and others)
This fd-for-a-process sounds like a handy thing and people may well
think up other uses for it in the future, probably unrelated to
signals. Are the code and the interface designed to permit such
future applications?
A-07: Yes (cf. [22]).
Q-08: (Andrew Morton [21] and others)
Now I think about it, why a new syscall? This thing is looking
rather like an ioctl?
A-08: This has been extensively discussed. It was agreed that a syscall is
preferred for a variety or reasons. Here are just a few taken from
prior threads. Syscalls are safer than ioctl()s especially when
signaling to fds. Processes are a core kernel concept so a syscall
seems more appropriate. The layout of the syscall with its four
arguments would require the addition of a custom struct for the
ioctl() thereby causing at least the same amount or even more
complexity for userspace than a simple syscall. The new syscall will
replace multiple other pid-based syscalls (see description above).
The file-descriptors-for-processes concept introduced with this
syscall will be extended with other syscalls in the future. See also
[22], [23] and various other threads already linked in here.
Q-09: (Florian Weimer [24])
What happens if you use the new interface with an O_PATH descriptor?
A-09:
pidfds opened as O_PATH fds cannot be used to send signals to a
process (cf. [2]). Signaling processes through pidfds is the
equivalent of writing to a file. Thus, this is not an operation that
operates "purely at the file descriptor level" as required by the
open(2) manpage. See also [4].

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
"New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
"reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
the core-mm as "System RAM".
Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
used to restore the memory assignment.
One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
lack security capable NVDIMMs.
Summary:
- Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.
- Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range
- Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
address-range to the core-mm.
- Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"
NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.
And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.
Quoting Dan from another email:
"The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.
I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
application coordination"
