2020-04-18perf stat: Force error in fallback on :k eventsStephane Eranian
When it is not possible for a non-privilege perf command to monitor at the kernel level (:k), the fallback code forces a :u. That works if the event was previously monitoring both levels. But if the event was already constrained to kernel only, then it does not make sense to restrict it to user only. Given the code works by exclusion, a kernel only event would have: attr->exclude_user = 1 The fallback code would add: attr->exclude_kernel = 1 In the end the end would not monitor in either the user level or kernel level. In other words, it would count nothing. An event programmed to monitor kernel only cannot be switched to user only without seriously warning the user. This patch forces an error in this case to make it clear the request cannot really be satisfied. Behavior with paranoid 1: $ sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid" $ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 1,520,413 cycles:k 1.002361664 seconds time elapsed 0.002480000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys Old behavior with paranoid 2: $ sudo bash -c "echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid" $ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 0 cycles:ku 1.002358127 seconds time elapsed 0.002384000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys New behavior with paranoid 2: $ sudo bash -c "echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid" $ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1 Error: You may not have permission to collect stats. Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid, which controls use of the performance events system by unprivileged users (without CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

2020-04-18perf evlist: Move leader-sampling configurationAdrian Hunter
Move leader-sampling configuration in preparation for adding support for leader sampling with AUX area events. Committer notes: It only makes sense when configuring an evsel that is part of an evlist, so the only case where it is called outside perf_evlist__config(), in some 'perf test' entry, is safe, and even there we should just use perf_evlist__config(), but since in that case we have just one evsel in the evlist, it is equivalent. Also fixed up this problem: util/record.c: In function ‘perf_evlist__config’: util/record.c:223:3: error: too many arguments to function ‘perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling’ 223 | perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(evsel, evlist); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ util/record.c:170:13: note: declared here 170 | static void perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(struct evsel *evsel) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200401101613.6201-14-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2020-04-16perf tools: Support CAP_PERFMON capabilityAlexey Budankov
Extend error messages to mention CAP_PERFMON capability as an option to substitute CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for secure system performance monitoring and observability operations. Make perf_event_paranoid_check() and __cmd_ftrace() to be aware of CAP_PERFMON capability. CAP_PERFMON implements the principle of least privilege for performance monitoring and observability operations (POSIX IEEE 1003.1e 2.2.2.39 principle of least privilege: A security design principle that states that a process or program be granted only those privileges (e.g., capabilities) necessary to accomplish its legitimate function, and only for the time that such privileges are actually required) For backward compatibility reasons access to perf_events subsystem remains open for CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged processes but CAP_SYS_ADMIN usage for secure perf_events monitoring is discouraged with respect to CAP_PERFMON capability. Committer testing: Using a libcap with this patch: diff --git a/libcap/include/uapi/linux/capability.h b/libcap/include/uapi/linux/capability.h index 78b2fd4c8a95..89b5b0279b60 100644 --- a/libcap/include/uapi/linux/capability.h +++ b/libcap/include/uapi/linux/capability.h @@ -366,8 +366,9 @@ struct vfs_ns_cap_data { #define CAP_AUDIT_READ 37 +#define CAP_PERFMON 38 -#define CAP_LAST_CAP CAP_AUDIT_READ +#define CAP_LAST_CAP CAP_PERFMON #define cap_valid(x) ((x) >= 0 && (x) <= CAP_LAST_CAP) Note that using '38' in place of 'cap_perfmon' works to some degree with an old libcap, its only when cap_get_flag() is called that libcap performs an error check based on the maximum value known for capabilities that it will fail. This makes determining the default of perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to fail, as it can't determine if CAP_PERFMON is in place. Using 'perf top -e cycles' avoids the default check and sets perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to 1.

2020-03-09perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stackKan Liang
The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it. However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be wrong, since the output format is different with new struct branch_stack. Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to indicate whether the hw_idx is output. Add get_branch_entry() to return corresponding pointer of entries[0]. To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt. Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well. Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack.

2020-01-30perf parse: Copy string to perf_evsel_config_termLeo Yan
perf with CoreSight fails to record trace data with command: perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread ls failed to set sink "" on event cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u with 21 (Is a directory)/perf/ This failure is root caused with the commit 1dc925568f01 ("perf parse: Add a deep delete for parse event terms"). The log shows, cs_etm fails to parse the sink attribution; cs_etm event relies on the event configuration to pass sink name, but the event specific configuration data cannot be passed properly with flow: get_config_terms() ADD_CONFIG_TERM(DRV_CFG, term->val.str); __t->val.str = term->val.str; `> __t->val.str is assigned to term->val.str; parse_events_terms__purge() parse_events_term__delete() zfree(&term->val.str); `> term->val.str is freed and assigned to NULL pointer; cs_etm_set_sink_attr() sink = __t->val.str; `> sink string has been freed. To fix this issue, in the function get_config_terms(), this patch changes to use strdup() for allocation a new duplicate string rather than directly assignment string pointer. This patch addes a new field 'free_str' in the data structure perf_evsel_config_term; 'free_str' is set to true when the union is used as a string pointer; thus it can tell perf_evsel__free_config_terms() to free the string.

2020-01-30perf parse: Refactor 'struct perf_evsel_config_term'Leo Yan
The struct perf_evsel_config_term::val is a union which contains fields 'callgraph', 'drv_cfg' and 'branch' as string pointers. This leads to the complex code logic for handling every type's string separately, and it's hard to release string as a general way. This patch refactors the structure to add a common field 'str' in the 'val' union as string pointer and remove the other three fields 'callgraph', 'drv_cfg' and 'branch'. Without passing field name, the patch simplifies the string handling with macro ADD_CONFIG_TERM_STR() for string pointer assignment. This patch fixes multiple warnings of line over 80 characters detected by checkpatch tool.

2019-11-29perf stat: Use affinity for opening eventsAndi Kleen
Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU. This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API. We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead of leaving that to low level functions. It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly. Since we cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to a separate loop.

2019-11-22perf pmu: When using default config, record which bits of config were ↵Adrian Hunter
changed by the user Default config for a PMU is defined before selected events are parsed. That allows the user-entered config to override the default config. However that does not allow for changing the default config based on other options. For example, if the user chooses AUX area sampling mode, in the case of Intel PT, the psb_period needs to be small for sampling, so there is a need to set the default psb_period to 0 (2 KiB) in that case. However that should not override a value set by the user. To allow for that, when using default config, record which bits of config were changed by the user.

2019-09-23perf record: Fix priv level with branch sampling for paranoid=2Stephane Eranian
Now that the default perf_events paranoid level is set to 2, a regular user cannot monitor kernel level activity anymore. As such, with the following cmdline: $ perf record -e cycles date The perf tool first tries cycles:uk but then falls back to cycles:u as can be seen in the perf report --header-only output: cmdline : /export/hda3/tmp/perf.tip record -e cycles ls event : name = cycles:u, , id = { 436186, ... } This is okay as long as there is way to learn the priv level was changed internally by the tool. But consider a similar example: $ perf record -b -e cycles date Error: You may not have permission to collect stats. Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid, which controls use of the performance events system by unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN). ... Why is that treated differently given that the branch sampling inherits the priv level of the first event in this case, i.e., cycles:u? It turns out that the branch sampling code is more picky and also checks exclude_hv. In the fallback path, perf record is setting exclude_kernel = 1, but it does not change exclude_hv. This does not seem to match the restriction imposed by paranoid = 2. This patch fixes the problem by forcing exclude_hv = 1 in the fallback for paranoid=2. With this in place: $ perf record -b -e cycles date cmdline : /export/hda3/tmp/perf.tip record -b -e cycles ls event : name = cycles:u, , id = { 436847, ... } And the command succeeds as expected. V2 fix a white space. Committer testing: After aplying the patch we get: [acme@quaco ~]$ perf record -b -e cycles date WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict and /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid.

And remove unneeded include directives from perf-sys.h to prune the header dependency tree. Fixup the fallout in places where definitions were being used without the needed include directives that were being satisfied because they were in perf-sys.h.

2019-08-28perf evlist: Remove needless util.h from evlist.hArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
There is no need for that util/util.h include there and, remove it, pruning the include tree, fix the fallout by adding necessary headers to places that were getting needed includes indirectly from evlist.h -> util.h.
