In the mmap_close() path we need to stop all the AUX events that are
writing data to the AUX area that we are unmapping, before we can
safely free the pages. To determine if an event needs to be stopped,
we're comparing its ->rb against the one that's getting unmapped.
However, a SET_OUTPUT ioctl may turn up inside an AUX transaction
and swizzle event::rb to some other ring buffer, but the transaction
will keep writing data to the old ring buffer until the event gets
scheduled out. At this point, mmap_close() will skip over such an
event and will proceed to free the AUX area, while it's still being
used by this event, which will set off a warning in the mmap_close()
path and cause a memory corruption.
To avoid this, always stop an AUX event before its ->rb is updated;
this will release the (potentially) last reference on the AUX area
of the buffer. If the event gets restarted, its new ring buffer will
be used. If another SET_OUTPUT comes and switches it back to the
old ring buffer that's getting unmapped, it's also fine: this
ring buffer's aux_mmap_count will be zero and AUX transactions won't
start any more.

When tearing down an AUX buf for an event via perf_mmap_close(),
__perf_event_output_stop() is called on the event's CPU to ensure that
trace generation is halted before the process of unmapping and
freeing the buffer pages begins.
The callback is performed via cpu_function_call(), which ensures that it
runs with interrupts disabled and is therefore not preemptible.
Unfortunately, the current code grabs the per-cpu context pointer using
get_cpu_ptr(), which unnecessarily disables preemption and doesn't pair
the call with put_cpu_ptr(), leading to a preempt_count() imbalance and
a BUG when freeing the AUX buffer later on:

This patch uses this_cpu_ptr() instead of get_cpu_ptr(), since preemption is

Currently, PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE is used in the group_flags field of a
group's leader to indicate that is_software_event(event) is true for all
events in a group. This is the only usage of event->group_flags.
This pattern of setting a group level flags when all events in the group
share a property is useful for the flag introduced in the next patch and
for future CQM/CMT flags. So this patches generalizes group_flags to work
as an aggregate of event level flags.
PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE denotes an inmutable event's property. All other flags
that I intend to add are also determinable at event initialization.
To better convey the above, this patch renames event's group_flags to
group_caps and PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE.
Individual event flags are stored in the new event->event_caps. Since the
cap flags do not change after event initialization, there is no need to
serialize event_caps. This new field is used when events are added to a
context, similarly to how PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE and is_software_event()
worked.
Lastly, for consistency, updates is_software_event() to rely in event_cap
instead of the context index.

Function perf_event_mmap() is called by the MM subsystem each time
part of a binary is loaded in memory. There can be several mapping
for a binary, many times unrelated to the code section.
Each time a section of a binary is mapped address filters are
updated, event when the map doesn't pertain to the code section.
The end result is that filters are configured based on the last map
event that was received rather than the last mapping of the code
segment.
For example if we have an executable 'main' that calls library
'libcstest.so.1.0', and that we want to collect traces on code
that is in that library. The perf cmd line for this scenario
would be:
perf record -e cs_etm// --filter 'filter 0x72c/0x40@/opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0' --per-thread ./main
Resulting in binaries being mapped this way:

Before 'main()' can execute 'libcstest.so.1.0' has to be loaded in
memory. Once that has been done perf_event_mmap() has been called
4 times, with the last map starting at address 0x7fa25ce000 and
the address filter configured to start filtering when the
IP has passed over address 0x0x7fa25ce72c (0x7fa25ce000 + 0x72c).
But that is wrong since the code segment for library 'libcstest.so.1.0'
as been mapped at 0x7fa25bd000, resulting in traces not being
collected.
This patch corrects the situation by requesting that address
filters be updated only if the mapped event is for a code
segment.

For perf record -b, which requires the pmu::sched_task callback the
current code is rather expensive:
7.68% sched-pipe [kernel.vmlinux] [k] perf_pmu_sched_task
5.95% sched-pipe [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __switch_to
5.20% sched-pipe [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __intel_pmu_disable_all
3.95% sched-pipe perf [.] worker_thread
The problem is that it will iterate all registered PMUs, most of which
will not have anything to do. Avoid this by keeping an explicit list
of PMUs that have requested the callback.
The perf_sched_cb_{inc,dec}() functions already takes the required pmu
argument, and now that these functions are no longer called from NMI
context we can use them to manage a list.
With this patch applied the function doesn't show up in the top 4
anymore (it dropped to 18th place).
6.67% sched-pipe [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __switch_to
6.18% sched-pipe [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __intel_pmu_disable_all

In order to allow optimizing perf_pmu_sched_task() we must ensure
perf_sched_cb_{inc,dec}() are no longer called from NMI context; this
means that pmu::{start,stop}() can no longer use them.
Prepare for this by reworking the whole large PEBS setup code.
The current code relied on the cpuc->pebs_enabled state, however since
that reflects the current active state as per pmu::{start,stop}() we
can no longer rely on this.
Introduce two counters: cpuc->n_pebs and cpuc->n_large_pebs which
count the total number of PEBS events and the number of PEBS events
that have FREERUNNING set, resp.. With this we can tell if the current
setup requires a single record interrupt threshold or can use a larger
buffer.
This also improves the code in that it re-enables the large threshold
once the PEBS event that required single record gets removed.

Groups of events are supposed to be scheduled atomically, such that it
is possible to derive meaningful ratios between their values.
We take great pains to achieve this when scheduling event groups to a
PMU in group_sched_in(), calling {start,commit}_txn() (which fall back
to perf_pmu_{disable,enable}() if necessary) to provide this guarantee.
However we don't mirror this in group_sched_out(), and in some cases
events will not be scheduled out atomically.
For example, if we disable an event group with PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE,
we'll cross-call __perf_event_disable() for the group leader, and will
call group_sched_out() without having first disabled the relevant PMU.
We will disable/enable the PMU around each pmu->del() call, but between
each call the PMU will be enabled and events may count.
Avoid this by explicitly disabling and enabling the PMU around event
removal in group_sched_out(), mirroring what we do in group_sched_in().

There's a perf stat bug easy to observer on a machine with only one cgroup:
$ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C 0 -G /
# time counts unit events
1.000161699 <not counted> cycles /
2.000355591 <not counted> cycles /
3.000565154 <not counted> cycles /
4.000951350 <not counted> cycles /
We'd expect some output there.
The underlying problem is that there is an optimization in
perf_cgroup_sched_{in,out}() that skips the switch of cgroup events
if the old and new cgroups in a task switch are the same.
This optimization interacts with the current code in two ways
that cause a CPU context's cgroup (cpuctx->cgrp) to be NULL even if a
cgroup event matches the current task. These are:
1. On creation of the first cgroup event in a CPU: In current code,
cpuctx->cpu is only set in perf_cgroup_sched_in, but due to the
aforesaid optimization, perf_cgroup_sched_in will run until the next
cgroup switches in that CPU. This may happen late or never happen,
depending on system's number of cgroups, CPU load, etc.
2. On deletion of the last cgroup event in a cpuctx: In list_del_event,
cpuctx->cgrp is set NULL. Any new cgroup event will not be sched in
because cpuctx->cgrp == NULL until a cgroup switch occurs and
perf_cgroup_sched_in is executed (updating cpuctx->cgrp).
This patch fixes both problems by setting cpuctx->cgrp in list_add_event,
mirroring what list_del_event does when removing a cgroup event from CPU
context, as introduced in:
commit 68cacd2916 ("perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx()")
With this patch, cpuctx->cgrp is always set/clear when installing/removing
the first/last cgroup event in/from the CPU context. With cpuctx->cgrp
correctly set, event_filter_match works as intended when events are
sched in/out.
After the fix, the output is as expected:
$ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -a -G /
# time counts unit events
1.004699159 627342882 cycles /
2.007397156 615272690 cycles /
3.010019057 616726074 cycles /

The latter seems like the simplest solution. Moving the list-add later
creates a bit of a mess.

Since a user can not do anything to fix the issue, the message is really

This patch adds support for non-linear data on raw records. It
extends raw records to have one or multiple fragments that will
be written linearly into the ring slot, where each fragment can
optionally have a custom callback handler to walk and extract
complex, possibly non-linear data.
If a callback handler is provided for a fragment, then the new
__output_custom() will be used instead of __output_copy() for
the perf_output_sample() part. perf_prepare_sample() does all
the size calculation only once, so perf_output_sample() doesn't
need to redo the same work anymore, meaning real_size and padding
will be cached in the raw record. The raw record becomes 32 bytes
in size without holes; to not increase it further and to avoid
doing unnecessary recalculations in fast-path, we can reuse
next pointer of the last fragment, idea here is borrowed from
ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(), which should keep the perf_output_sample()
path for PERF_SAMPLE_RAW minimal.
This facility is needed for BPF's event output helper as a first
user that will, in a follow-up, add an additional perf_raw_frag
to its perf_raw_record in order to be able to more efficiently
dump skb context after a linear head meta data related to it.
skbs can be non-linear and thus need a custom output function to
dump buffers. Currently, the skb data needs to be copied twice;
with the help of __output_custom() this work only needs to be
done once. Future users could be things like XDP/BPF programs
that work on different context though and would thus also have
a different callback function.
The few users of raw records are adapted to initialize their frag
data from the raw record itself, no change in behavior for them.
The code is based upon a PoC diff provided by Peter Zijlstra [1].
