2012-06-16uprobes: No need to re-check vma_address() in write_opcode()Oleg Nesterov1-5/+0
write_opcode() is called by register_for_each_vma() and uprobe_mmap() paths. In both cases the caller has already verified this vaddr under mmap_sem, no need to re-check. Note also that this check is wrong anyway, we should not truncate loff_t returned by vma_address() if we do not trust this mapping.

2012-06-16uprobes: Rework register_for_each_vma() to make it O(n)Oleg Nesterov1-113/+86
Currently register_for_each_vma() is O(n ** 2) + O(n ** 3), every time find_next_vma_info() "restarts" the vma_prio_tree_foreach() loop and each iteration rechecks the whole try_list. This also means that try_list can grow "indefinitely" if register/unregister races with munmap/mmap activity even if the number of mapping is bounded at any time. With this patch register_for_each_vma() builds the list of mm/vaddr structures only once and does install_breakpoint() for each entry. We do not care about the new mappings which can be created after build_map_info() drops mapping->i_mmap_mutex, uprobe_mmap() should do its work. Note that we do not allocate map_info under i_mmap_mutex, this can deadlock with page reclaim (but see the next patch). So we use 2 lists, "curr" which we are going to return, and "prev" which holds the already allocated memory. The main loop deques the entry from "prev" (initially it is empty), and if "prev" becomes empty again it counts the number of entries we need to pre-allocate outside of i_mmap_mutex.

2012-06-16uprobes: Install_breakpoint() should fail if is_swbp_insn() == TOleg Nesterov1-1/+1
install_breakpoint() returns -EEXIST if is_swbp_insn(orig_insn) == T, the caller treats this code as success. This is doubly wrong. The successful return should set UPROBE_COPY_INSN, but the real problem is that it shouldn't succeed. If the probed insn is int3 the application should get SIGTRAP, this won't happen with uprobe. Probably we can fix this, we can add the UPROBE_SHARED_BP flag and teach handle_swbp/set_orig_insn to handle this case correctly. But this needs some complications and we have other insns which can't be probed, lets make a simple fix for now. I think this needs a cleanup. UPROBE_COPY_INSN should die, copy_insn() should be called by alloc_uprobe(). arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() depends on ->mm (ia32_compat) but it is called only once.

2012-06-16uprobes: Write_opcode()->__replace_page() can race with try_to_unmap()Oleg Nesterov1-28/+13
write_opcode() gets old_page via get_user_pages() and then calls __replace_page() which assumes that this old_page is still mapped after pte_offset_map_lock(). This is not true if this old_page was already try_to_unmap()'ed, and in this case everything __replace_page() does with old_page is wrong. Just for example, put_page() is not balanced. I think it is possible to teach __replace_page() to handle this unlikely case correctly, but this patch simply changes it to use page_check_address() and return -EAGAIN if it fails. The caller should notice this error code and retry. Note: write_opcode() asks for the cleanups, I'll try to do this in a separate patch.

2012-06-06uprobes: Kill uprobes_srcu/uprobe_srcu_idOleg Nesterov1-19/+3
Kill the no longer needed uprobes_srcu/uprobe_srcu_id code. It doesn't really work anyway. synchronize_srcu() can only synchronize with the code "inside" the srcu_read_lock/srcu_read_unlock section, while uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier() does srcu_read_lock() _after_ we already hit the breakpoint. I guess this probably works "in practice". synchronize_srcu() is slow and it implies synchronize_sched(), and the probed task enters the non- preemptible section at the start of exception handler. Still this is not right at least in theory, and task->uprobe_srcu_id blows task_struct.

2012-06-06uprobes: Teach handle_swbp() to rely on "is_swbp" rather than uprobes_srcuOleg Nesterov1-3/+15
Currently handle_swbp() assumes that it can't race with unregister, so it roughly does: if (find_uprobe(vaddr)) process_uprobe(); else send_sig(SIGTRAP); This relies on the not-really-working uprobes_srcu code we are going to remove, see the next patch. With this patch we rely on the result of is_swbp_at_addr(bp_vaddr) if find_uprobe() fails. If is_swbp == 1, then we hit the normal int3, we should send SIGTRAP. If is_swbp == 0, we raced with uprobe_unregister(), we simply restart this insn again. The "difficult" case is is_swbp == -EFAULT, when we can't read this memory. In this case I think we should restart too, and this is more correct compared to the current code which sends SIGTRAP. Ignoring ENOMEM/etc from get_user_pages(), this can only happen if another thread unmaps this memory before find_active_uprobe() takes mmap_sem. It would be better to pretend it was unmapped before this insn was executed, restart, and get SIGSEGV.

2012-06-06uprobes: Change register_for_each_vma() to take mm->mmap_sem for writingOleg Nesterov1-4/+4
Change register_for_each_vma() to take mm->mmap_sem for writing. This is a bit unfortunate but hopefully not too bad, this is the slow path anyway. This is needed to ensure that find_active_uprobe() can not race with uprobe_register() which adds the new bp at the same bp_vaddr, after find_uprobe() fails and before is_swbp_at_addr_fast() checks the memory. IOW, this is needed to ensure that if find_active_uprobe() returns NULL but is_swbp == true, we can safely assume that it was the "normal" int3 and we should send SIGTRAP. There is another reason for this change. We are going to replace uprobes_state->count with MMF_ flags set by register/unregister and cleared by find_active_uprobe(), and set/clear shouldn't race with each other.

2012-06-06uprobes: Teach find_active_uprobe() to provide the "is_swbp" infoOleg Nesterov1-3/+8
A separate patch to simplify the review, and for the documentation. The patch adds another "int *is_swbp" argument to find_active_uprobe(), so far its only caller doesn't use this info. With this patch find_active_uprobe() additionally does: - if find_vma() + ->vm_start check fails, *is_swbp = -EFAULT - otherwise, if valid_vma() + find_uprobe() fails, it holds the result of is_swbp_at_addr(), can be negative too. The latter is only possible if we raced with another thread which did munmap/etc after we hit this bp. IOW. If find_active_uprobe(&is_swbp) returns NULL, the caller can look at is_swbp to figure out whether the current insn is bp or not, or detect the race with another thread if it is negative. Note: I think that performance-wise this change is fine. This adds is_swbp_at_addr(), but only if we raced with uprobe_unregister() or if we hit the "normal" int3 but this mm has uprobes as well. And even in this case the slow read_opcode() path is very unlikely, this insn recently triggered do_int3(), __copy_from_user_inatomic() shouldn't fail in the likely case.

No functional changes. Move the "find uprobe" code from handle_swbp() to the new helper, find_active_uprobe(). Note: with or without this change, the find-active-uprobe logic is not exactly right. We can race with another thread which unmaps the memory with the valid uprobe before we take mm->mmap_sem. We can't find this uprobe simply because find_vma() fails. In this case we wrongly assume that this trap was not caused by uprobe and send the erroneous SIGTRAP. See the next changes.

This version is much rewritten, reviews from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address. vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are kept in an rbtree. If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer. Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a dynamic callback list of event consumers. The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers. The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of entries (which limits probe execution parallelism). The API: uprobes are installed/removed via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate to it. Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed by setting perf_paranoid to -1. You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

2012-05-23Revert "sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"Jiri Olsa1-10/+4
This reverts commit cb04ff9ac424 ("sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"). Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked like this (wrt. to perf event schedule): schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - switch to next - schedule in all perf events for current (next) After the commit, the process switch looks like: schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - schedule in all perf events for (next) - switch to next The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current" process). Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled from. Discussed with Peter Zijlstra: > Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now.

However we don't call the function on the siblings, we call it repeatedly on the original event - it seems "obvious" that we should be calling it with sibling as the argument. It looks like this broke in commit 75f937f24bd9 ("Fix ctx->mutex vs counter->mutex inversion"). The only effect of the bug is that the PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP parameter to the ioctls doesn't work.

2012-04-14uprobes/core: Decrement uprobe count before the pages are unmappedSrikar Dronamraju1-2/+2
Uprobes has a callback (uprobe_munmap()) in the unmap path to maintain the uprobes count. In the exit path this callback gets called in unlink_file_vma(). However by the time unlink_file_vma() is called, the pages would have been unmapped (in unmap_vmas()) and the task->rss_stat counts accounted (in zap_pte_range()). If the exiting process has probepoints, uprobe_munmap() checks if the breakpoint instruction was around before decrementing the probe count. This results in a file backed page being reread by uprobe_munmap() and hence it does not find the breakpoint. This patch fixes this problem by moving the callback to unmap_single_vma(). Since unmap_single_vma() may not unmap the complete vma, add start and end parameters to uprobe_munmap(). This bug became apparent courtesy of commit c3f0327f8e9d ("mm: add rss counters consistency check").

2012-03-31uprobes/core: Optimize probe hits with the help of a counterSrikar Dronamraju1-8/+111
Maintain a per-mm counter: number of uprobes that are inserted on this process address space. This counter can be used at probe hit time to determine if we need a lookup in the uprobes rbtree. Everytime a probe gets inserted successfully, the probe count is incremented and everytime a probe gets removed, the probe count is decremented. The new uprobe_munmap hook ensures the count is correct on a unmap or remap of a region. We expect that once a uprobe_munmap() is called, the vma goes away. So uprobe_unregister() finding a probe to unregister would either mean unmap event hasnt occurred yet or a mmap event on the same executable file occured after a unmap event. Additionally, uprobe_mmap hook now also gets called: a. on every executable vma that is COWed at fork. b. a vma of interest is newly mapped; breakpoint insertion also happens at the required address. On process creation, make sure the probes count in the child is set correctly. Special cases that are taken care include: a. mremap b. VM_DONTCOPY vmas on fork() c. insertion/removal races in the parent during fork().

2012-03-31uprobes/core: Allocate XOL slots for uprobes useSrikar Dronamraju1-0/+215
Uprobes executes the original instruction at a probed location out of line. For this, we allocate a page (per mm) upon the first uprobe hit, in the process user address space, divide it into slots that are used to store the actual instructions to be singlestepped. These slots are known as xol (execution out of line) slots. Care is taken to ensure that the allocation is in an unmapped area as close to the top of the user address space as possible, with appropriate permission settings to keep selinux like frameworks happy. Upon a uprobe hit, a free slot is acquired, and is released after the singlestep completes. Lots of improvements courtesy suggestions/inputs from Peter and Oleg.

2012-03-14uprobes/core: Handle breakpoint and singlestep exceptionsSrikar Dronamraju1-4/+319
Uprobes uses exception notifiers to get to know if a thread hit a breakpoint or a singlestep exception. When a thread hits a uprobe or is singlestepping post a uprobe hit, the uprobe exception notifier sets its TIF_UPROBE bit, which will then be checked on its return to userspace path (do_notify_resume() ->uprobe_notify_resume()), where the consumers handlers are run (in task context) based on the defined filters. Uprobe hits are thread specific and hence we need to maintain information about if a task hit a uprobe, what uprobe was hit, the slot where the original instruction was copied for xol so that it can be singlestepped with appropriate fixups. In some cases, special care is needed for instructions that are executed out of line (xol). These are architecture specific artefacts, such as handling RIP relative instructions on x86_64. Since the instruction at which the uprobe was inserted is executed out of line, architecture specific fixups are added so that the thread continues normal execution in the presence of a uprobe. Postpone the signals until we execute the probed insn. post_xol() path does a recalc_sigpending() before return to user-mode, this ensures the signal can't be lost. Uprobes relies on DIE_DEBUG notification to notify if a singlestep is complete. Adds x86 specific uprobe exception notifiers and appropriate hooks needed to determine a uprobe hit and subsequent post processing. Add requisite x86 fixups for xol for uprobes. Specific cases needing fixups include relative jumps (x86_64), calls, etc. Where possible, we check and skip singlestepping the breakpointed instructions. For now we skip single byte as well as few multibyte nop instructions. However this can be extended to other instructions too.

2012-03-05perf: Add callback to flush branch_stack on context switchStephane Eranian1-0/+85
With branch stack sampling, it is possible to filter by priv levels. In system-wide mode, that means it is possible to capture only user level branches. The builtin SW LBR filter needs to disassemble code based on LBR captured addresses. For that, it needs to know the task the addresses are associated with. Because of context switches, the content of the branch stack buffer may contain addresses from different tasks. We need a callback on context switch to either flush the branch stack or save it. This patch adds a new callback in struct pmu which is called during context switches. The callback is called only when necessary. That is when a system-wide context has, at least, one event which uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK. The callback is never called for per-thread context. In this version, the Intel x86 code simply flushes (resets) the LBR on context switches (fills it with zeroes). Those zeroed branches are then filtered out by the SW filter.

2012-03-05perf: Add generic taken branch sampling supportStephane Eranian1-0/+68
This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the perf_event interface. The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call counts, statistical call graph. This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility. To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK bit must be set in attr->sample_type. Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv levels. The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters to apply to the sampled taken branches. Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter. The following generic filters are currently defined: - PERF_SAMPLE_USER only branches whose targets are at the user level - PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL only branches whose targets are at the kernel level - PERF_SAMPLE_HV only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL indirect call branches Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional. If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions and availability (hv). The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.
