perf parse-events: Remove hard coded legacy hardware and cache parsing
Now that legacy hardware and cache events are in json, having the
lexer match the specific event is no longer necessary and generic PMU
parsing can take place. Because of this remove the specific term
parsing, event adding, and passing of alternate_hw_config which was
now always PERF_COUNT_HW_MAX.
This mirrors a similar change for software events in commit 6e9fa4131abb
("perf parse-events: Remove non-json software events").
With no hard coded legacy hardware or cache events the wild card, case
insensitivity, etc. is consistent for events. This does, however, mean
events like cycles will wild card against all PMUs. A change does the
same was originally posted and merged from:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240416061533.921723-10-irogers@google.com
and reverted by Linus in commit 4f1b067359ac ("Revert "perf
parse-events: Prefer sysfs/JSON hardware events over legacy"") due to
his dislike for the cycles behavior on ARM. Earlier patches in this
series make perf record event opening failures non-fatal and hide the
cycles event's failure to open on ARM in perf record, so it is
expected the behavior will now be transparent in perf record. perf
stat with a cycles event will wildcard open the event on all PMUs. As
cycles is a "default event", the perf stat behavior for default events
was updated to only open them on core/software PMUs.
The change to support legacy events with PMUs was done to clean up
Intel's hybrid PMU implementation. Having sysfs/json events with
increased priority to legacy was requested by Mark Rutland
<mark.rutland@arm.com> to fix Apple-M PMU issues wrt broken legacy
events on that PMU. It was requested that RISC-V be able to add events
to the perf tool json so the PMU driver didn't need to map legacy
events to config encodings:

perf jevents: Add legacy-hardware and legacy-cache json

to the software.json file. A difference is that for the software PMU
the name is known and matches sysfs. In the legacy-hardware.json no
Unit/PMU is specified for the events meaning default_core is used and
the events will appear for all core PMUs.
There are potentially 1216 legacy cache events, rather than list them
in a json file add a make_legacy_cache.py helper to generate them.
By using json for legacy hardware and cache events: descriptions of
the events can be added; events can be marked as deprecated, such as
those misleadingly named l2 (deprecated is also used to mark all
events that weren't previously displayed in perf list); and the name
lookup becomes case insensitive.
The C string encoding all the perf events and metrics is increased in

changes will remove hard coded event parsing for legacy hardware and

perf record: Skip don't fail for events that don't open
Whilst for many tools it is an expected behavior that failure to open
a perf event is a failure, ARM decided to name PMU events the same as
legacy events and then failed to rename such events on a server uncore
SLC PMU. As perf's default behavior when no PMU is specified is to
open the event on all PMUs that advertise/"have" the event, this
yielded failures when trying to make the priority of legacy and
sysfs/json events uniform - something requested by RISC-V and ARM. A
legacy event user on ARM hardware may find their event opened on an
uncore PMU which for perf record will fail. Arnaldo suggested skipping
such events which this patch implements. Rather than have the skipping
conditional on running on ARM, the skipping is done on all
architectures as such a fundamental behavioral difference could lead
to problems with tools built/depending on perf.
An example of perf record failing to open events on x86 is:
```
$ perf record -e data_read,cycles,LLC-prefetch-read -a sleep 0.1
Error:
Failure to open event 'data_read' on PMU 'uncore_imc_free_running_0' which will be removed.
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (data_read).
"dmesg | grep -i perf" may provide additional information.
Error:

The LLC-prefetch-read event is not supported.
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.188 MB perf.data (87 samples) ]
If all events fail to open then the perf record will fail:
```
$ perf record -e LLC-prefetch-read true
Error:
Failure to open event 'LLC-prefetch-read' on PMU 'cpu' which will be removed.
The LLC-prefetch-read event is not supported.
Error:
Failure to open any events for recording
```
As an evlist may have dummy events that open when all command line
events fail we ignore dummy events when detecting if at least some
events open. This still permits the dummy event on its own to be used
as a permission check:
```
$ perf record -e dummy true
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.046 MB perf.data ]
```
but allows failure when a dummy event is implicilty inserted or when
there are insufficient permissions to open it:
```
$ perf record -e LLC-prefetch-read -a true
Error:
Failure to open event 'LLC-prefetch-read' on PMU 'cpu' which will be removed.
The LLC-prefetch-read event is not supported.
Error:
Failure to open any events for recording
```
As the first parsed event in an evlist is marked as tracking, removing
this event can remove tracking from the evlist, removing mmap events
and breaking symbolization. To avoid this, if a tracking event is
removed then the next event has tracking added.
The issue with legacy events is that on RISC-V they want the driver to
not have mappings from legacy to non-legacy config encodings for each
vendor/model due to size, complexity and difficulty to update. It was
reported that on ARM Apple-M? CPUs the legacy mapping in the driver
was broken and the sysfs/json events should always take precedent,
however, it isn't clear this is still the case. It is the case that
without working around this issue a legacy event like cycles without a
PMU can encode differently than when specified with a PMU - the
non-PMU version favoring legacy encodings, the PMU one avoiding legacy
encodings. Legacy events are also case sensitive while sysfs/json
events are not.
The patch removes events and then adjusts the idx value for each
evsel. This is done so that the dense xyarrays used for file
descriptors, etc. don't contain broken entries.
On ARM it could be common following this change to see a lot of
warnings for the cycles event due to many ARM PMUs advertising the
cycles event (ARM inconsistently have events bus_cycles and then
cycles implying CPU cycles, they also sometimes have a cpu_cycles
event). As cycles is a popular event, avoid potentially spamming users
with error messages on ARM when there are multiple cycles events in
the evlist, the error is still shown when verbose is enabled.
Prior versions without adding the tracking data and not warning for
cycles on ARM was:

"The previous fix to trace_marker required updating trace_marker_raw as
well. The difference between trace_marker_raw from trace_marker is
that the raw version is for applications to write binary structures
directly into the ring buffer instead of writing ASCII strings. This
is for applications that will read the raw data from the ring buffer
and get the data structures directly. It's a bit quicker than using
the ASCII version.
Unfortunately, it appears that our test suite has several tests that
test writes to the trace_marker file, but lacks any tests to the
trace_marker_raw file (this needs to be remedied). Two issues came
about the update to the trace_marker_raw file that syzbot found:
- Fix tracing_mark_raw_write() to use per CPU buffer
The fix to use the per CPU buffer to copy from user space was
needed for both the trace_maker and trace_maker_raw file.
The fix for reading from user space into per CPU buffers properly
fixed the trace_marker write function, but the trace_marker_raw
file wasn't fixed properly. The user space data was correctly
written into the per CPU buffer, but the code that wrote into the
ring buffer still used the user space pointer and not the per CPU
buffer that had the user space data already written.
- Stop the fortify string warning from writing into trace_marker_raw
After converting the copy_from_user_nofault() into a memcpy(),
another issue appeared. As writes to the trace_marker_raw expects
binary data, the first entry is a 4 byte identifier. The entry
structure is defined as:
struct {
struct trace_entry ent;
int id;
char buf[];
};
The size of this structure is reserved on the ring buffer with:
size = sizeof(*entry) + cnt;
Then it is copied from the buffer into the ring buffer with:
memcpy(&entry->id, buf, cnt);
This use to be a copy_from_user_nofault(), but now converting it to
a memcpy() triggers the fortify-string code, and causes a warning.
The allocated space is actually more than what is copied, as the
cnt used also includes the entry->id portion. Allocating

This is because fortify string sees that the size of entry->id is only 4
bytes, but it is writing more than that. But this is OK as the
dynamic_array is allocated to handle that copy.
The size allocated on the ring buffer was actually a bit too big:
size = sizeof(*entry) + cnt;
But cnt includes the 'id' and the buffer data, so adding cnt to the size
of *entry actually allocates too much on the ring buffer.

slab: fix barn NULL pointer dereference on memoryless nodes
Phil reported a boot failure once sheaves become used in commits 59faa4da7cd4 ("maple_tree: use percpu sheaves for maple_node_cache") and 3accabda4da1 ("mm, vma: use percpu sheaves for vm_area_struct cache"):
Linus decoded the stacktrace to get_barn() and get_node() and determined
that kmem_cache->node[numa_mem_id()] is NULL.
The problem is due to a wrong assumption that memoryless nodes only
exist on systems with CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES, where numa_mem_id()
points to the nearest node that has memory. SLUB has been allocating its
kmem_cache_node structures only on nodes with memory and so it does with
struct node_barn.
For kmem_cache_node, get_partial_node() checks if get_node() result is
not NULL, which I assumed was for protection from a bogus node id passed
to kmalloc_node() but apparently it's also for systems where
numa_mem_id() (used when no specific node is given) might return a
memoryless node.
Fix the sheaves code the same way by checking the result of get_node()
and bailing out if it's NULL. Note that cpus on such memoryless nodes
will have degraded sheaves performance, which can be improved later,
preferably by making numa_mem_id() work properly on such systems.

tracing: Fix tracing_mark_raw_write() to use buf and not ubuf
The fix to use a per CPU buffer to read user space tested only the writes
to trace_marker. But it appears that the selftests are missing tests to
the trace_maker_raw file. The trace_maker_raw file is used by applications
that writes data structures and not strings into the file, and the tools
read the raw ring buffer to process the structures it writes.
The fix that reads the per CPU buffers passes the new per CPU buffer to
the trace_marker file writes, but the update to the trace_marker_raw write
read the data from user space into the per CPU buffer, but then still used
then passed the user space address to the function that records the data.
Pass in the per CPU buffer and not the user space address.

kbuild: Use '--strip-unneeded-symbol' for removing module device table symbols
After commit 5ab23c7923a1 ("modpost: Create modalias for builtin
modules"), relocatable RISC-V kernels with CONFIG_KASAN=y start failing
when attempting to strip the module device table symbols:
riscv64-linux-objcopy: not stripping symbol `__mod_device_table__kmod_irq_starfive_jh8100_intc__of__starfive_intc_irqchip_match_table' because it is named in a relocation
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:97: vmlinux] Error 1
The relocation appears to come from .LASANLOC5 in .data.rel.local:
This section appears to come from GCC for including additional
information about global variables that may be protected by KASAN.
There appears to be no way to opt out of the generation of these symbols
through either a flag or attribute. Attempting to remove '.LASANLOC*'
with '--strip-symbol' results in the same error as above because these
symbols may refer to (thus have relocation between) each other.
Avoid this build breakage by switching to '--strip-unneeded-symbol' for
removing __mod_device_table__ symbols, as it will only remove the symbol
when there is no relocation pointing to it. While this may result in a
little more bloat in the symbol table in certain configurations, it is
not as bad as outright build failures.

Merge patch series "kbuild: Fixes for fallout from recent modules.builtin.modinfo series"
This is a series to address some problems that were exposed by the
recent modules.builtin.modinfo series that landed in commit c7d3dd9163e6
("Merge patch series "Add generated modalias to
modules.builtin.modinfo"").
The third patch is not directly related to the aforementioned series, as
the warning it fixes happens prior to the series but commit 8d18ef04f940
("s390: vmlinux.lds.S: Reorder sections") from the series creates
conflicts in this area, so I included it here.
s390/vmlinux.lds.S: Move .vmlinux.info to end of allocatable sections
When building s390 defconfig with binutils older than 2.32, there are
several warnings during the final linking stage:
s390-linux-ld: .tmp_vmlinux1: warning: allocated section `.got.plt' not in segment
s390-linux-ld: .tmp_vmlinux2: warning: allocated section `.got.plt' not in segment
s390-linux-ld: vmlinux.unstripped: warning: allocated section `.got.plt' not in segment
s390-linux-objcopy: vmlinux: warning: allocated section `.got.plt' not in segment
s390-linux-objcopy: st7afZyb: warning: allocated section `.got.plt' not in segment
binutils commit afca762f598 ("S/390: Improve partial relro support for
64 bit") [1] in 2.32 changed where .got.plt is emitted, avoiding the
warning.
The :NONE in the .vmlinux.info output section description changes the
segment for subsequent allocated sections. Move .vmlinux.info right
above the discards section to place all other sections in the previously
defined segment, .data.
Prior to binutils commit c12d9fa2afe ("Support objcopy
--remove-section=.relaFOO") [1] in 2.32, stripping relocation sections
required the trailing period (i.e., '.rel.*') to work properly.
After commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped"), there is an error with binutils 2.31.1 or earlier
because these sections are not properly removed:
s390-linux-objcopy: st6tO8Ev: symbol `.modinfo' required but not present
s390-linux-objcopy:st6tO8Ev: no symbols
Add the old pattern to resolve this issue (along with a comment to allow
cleaning this when binutils 2.32 or newer is the minimum supported
version). While the aforementioned kbuild change exposes this, the
pattern was originally changed by commit 71d815bf5dfd ("kbuild: Strip
runtime const RELA sections correctly"), where it would still be
incorrect with binutils older than 2.32.
kbuild: Restore pattern to avoid stripping .rela.dyn from vmlinux
Commit 0ce5139fd96e ("kbuild: always create intermediate
vmlinux.unstripped") removed the pattern to avoid stripping .rela.dyn
sections added by commit e9d86b8e17e7 ("scripts: Do not strip .rela.dyn
section"). Restore it so that .rela.dyn sections remain in the final
vmlinux.

selftests/bpf: Add test for unpinning htab with internal timer struct
Add test to verify that unpinning hash tables containing internal timer

Each subtest (timer_prealloc and timer_no_prealloc) can trigger the

twice within a short time interval (a HZ), which is expected behavior.

bpf: Avoid RCU context warning when unpinning htab with internal structs
When unpinning a BPF hash table (htab or htab_lru) that contains internal
structures (timer, workqueue, or task_work) in its values, a BUG warning
is triggered:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:244
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 14, name: ksoftirqd/0
...
The issue arises from the interaction between BPF object unpinning and
RCU callback mechanisms:
1. BPF object unpinning uses ->free_inode() which schedules cleanup via
call_rcu(), deferring the actual freeing to an RCU callback that
executes within the RCU_SOFTIRQ context.
2. During cleanup of hash tables containing internal structures,
htab_map_free_internal_structs() is invoked, which includes
cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu() calls to yield the CPU during
potentially long operations.
However, cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu() cannot be safely called from
atomic RCU softirq context, leading to the BUG warning when attempting
to reschedule.
Fix this by changing from ->free_inode() to ->destroy_inode() and rename
bpf_free_inode() to bpf_destroy_inode() for BPF objects (prog, map, link).
This allows direct inode freeing without RCU callback scheduling,
avoiding the invalid context warning.

Turned out certain clearly invalid values passed in xdp_desc from
userspace can pass xp_{,un}aligned_validate_desc() and then lead
to UBs or just invalid frames to be queued for xmit.
desc->len close to ``U32_MAX`` with a non-zero pool->tx_metadata_len
can cause positive integer overflow and wraparound, the same way low
enough desc->addr with a non-zero pool->tx_metadata_len can cause
negative integer overflow. Both scenarios can then pass the
validation successfully.
This doesn't happen with valid XSk applications, but can be used
to perform attacks.
Always promote desc->len to ``u64`` first to exclude positive
overflows of it. Use explicit check_{add,sub}_overflow() when
validating desc->addr (which is ``u64`` already).

The current shenanigans for duration calculation introduce too much

Address these issues with a flat look-up table, which is easy to understand
and patch. If leaf driver specific patching is required in future, it is
easy enough to make a copy of this table during driver initialization and
add the chip parameter back.
'chip->duration' is retained for TPM 1.x.
As the first entry for this new behavior address TCG spec update mentioned
in this issue:

Therefore, for TPM_SelfTest the duration is set to 3000 ms.

*unambigously* defined as part of attestation process when
done correctly).
B. Removing the code. I don't buy this because that is same as saying

Work around that shortcoming by initializing the path with the

rtc: interface: Ensure alarm irq is enabled when UIE is enabled
When setting a normal alarm, user-space is responsible for using
RTC_AIE_ON/RTC_AIE_OFF to control if alarm irq should be enabled.
But when RTC_UIE_ON is used, interrupts must be enabled so that the
requested irq events are generated.
When RTC_UIE_OFF is used, alarm irq is disabled if there are no other
alarms queued, so this commit brings symmetry to that.

rtc: interface: Fix long-standing race when setting alarm
As described in the old comment dating back to
commit 6610e0893b8b ("RTC: Rework RTC code to use timerqueue for events")
from 2010, we have been living with a race window when setting alarm
with an expiry in the near future (i.e. next second).
With 1 second resolution, it can happen that the second ticks after the
check for the timer having expired, but before the alarm is actually set.
When this happen, no alarm IRQ is generated, at least not with some RTC
chips (isl12022 is an example of this).
With UIE RTC timer being implemented on top of alarm irq, being re-armed
every second, UIE will occasionally fail to work, as an alarm irq lost
due to this race will stop the re-arming loop.
For now, I have limited the additional expiry check to only be done for
alarms set to next seconds. I expect it should be good enough, although I
don't know if we can now for sure that systems with loads could end up
causing the same problems for alarms set 2 seconds or even longer in the
future.
I haven't been able to reproduce the problem with this check in place.

Pull tracing clean up and fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Have osnoise tracer use memdup_user_nul()
The function osnoise_cpus_write() open codes a kmalloc() and then a
copy_from_user() and then adds a nul byte at the end which is the
same as simply using memdup_user_nul().
- Fix wakeup and irq tracers when failing to acquire calltime
When the wakeup and irq tracers use the function graph tracer for
tracing function times, it saves a timestamp into the fgraph shadow
stack. It is possible that this could fail to be stored. If that
happens, it exits the routine early. These functions also disable
nesting of the operations by incremeting the data "disable" counter.
But if the calltime exits out early, it never increments the counter
back to what it needs to be.
Since there's only a couple of lines of code that does work after
acquiring the calltime, instead of exiting out early, reverse the if
statement to be true if calltime is acquired, and place the code that
is to be done within that if block. The clean up will always be done
after that.
- Fix ring_buffer_map() return value on failure of __rb_map_vma()
If __rb_map_vma() fails in ring_buffer_map(), it does not return an
error. This means the caller will be working against a bad vma
mapping. Have ring_buffer_map() return an error when __rb_map_vma()
fails.
- Fix regression of writing to the trace_marker file
A bug fix was made to change __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
copy_from_user_nofault() in the trace_marker write function. The
trace_marker file is used by applications to write into it (usually
with a file descriptor opened at the start of the program) to record
into the tracing system. It's usually used in critical sections so
the write to trace_marker is highly optimized.
The reason for copying in an atomic section is that the write
reserves space on the ring buffer and then writes directly into it.
After it writes, it commits the event. The time between reserve and
commit must have preemption disabled.
The trace marker write does not have any locking nor can it allocate
due to the nature of it being a critical path.
Unfortunately, converting __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
copy_from_user_nofault() caused a regression in Android. Now all the
writes from its applications trigger the fault that is rejected by
the _nofault() version that wasn't rejected by the _inatomic()
version. Instead of getting data, it now just gets a trace buffer
filled with:
tracing_mark_write: <faulted>
To fix this, on opening of the trace_marker file, allocate per CPU
buffers that can be used by the write call. Then when entering the
write call, do the following:
preempt_disable();
cpu = smp_processor_id();
buffer = per_cpu_ptr(cpu_buffers, cpu);
do {
cnt = nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu);
migrate_disable();
preempt_enable();
ret = copy_from_user(buffer, ptr, size);
preempt_disable();
migrate_enable();
} while (!ret && cnt != nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu));
if (!ret)
ring_buffer_write(buffer);
preempt_enable();
This works similarly to seqcount. As it must enabled preemption to do
a copy_from_user() into a per CPU buffer, if it gets preempted, the
buffer could be corrupted by another task.
To handle this, read the number of context switches of the current
CPU, disable migration, enable preemption, copy the data from user
space, then immediately disable preemption again. If the number of
context switches is the same, the buffer is still valid. Otherwise it
must be assumed that the buffer may have been corrupted and it needs
to try again.
Now the trace_marker write can get the user data even if it has to
fault it in, and still not grab any locks of its own.
