The PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP bit is to save (perf_event) cgroup information in
the sample. It will add a 64-bit id to identify current cgroup and it's
the file handle in the cgroup file system. Userspace should use this
information with PERF_RECORD_CGROUP event to match which cgroup it
belongs.
I put it before PERF_SAMPLE_AUX for simplicity since it just needs a
64-bit word. But if we want bigger samples, I can work on that
direction too.

The low level index is the index in the underlying hardware buffer of
the most recently captured taken branch which is always saved in
branch_entries[0]. It is very useful for reconstructing the call stack.
For example, in Intel LBR call stack mode, the depth of reconstructed
LBR call stack limits to the number of LBR registers. With the low level
index information, perf tool may stitch the stacks of two samples. The
reconstructed LBR call stack can break the HW limitation.
Add a new branch sample type to retrieve low level index of raw branch
records. The low level index is between -1 (unknown) and max depth which
can be retrieved in /sys/devices/cpu/caps/branches.
Only when the new branch sample type is set, the low level index
information is dumped into the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK output.
Perf tool should check the attr.branch_sample_type, and apply the
corresponding format for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK samples.
Otherwise, some user case may be broken. For example, users may parse a
perf.data, which include the new branch sample type, with an old version
perf tool (without the check). Users probably get incorrect information
without any warning.

Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes and improvements for the perf subsystem:
Kernel fixes:
- Install cgroup events to the correct CPU context to prevent a
potential list double add
- Prevent an integer underflow in the perf mlock accounting
- Add a missing prototype for arch_perf_update_userpage()
Tooling:
- Add a missing unlock in the error path of maps__insert() in perf
maps.
- Fix the build with the latest libbfd
- Fix the perf parser so it does not delete parse event terms, which
caused a regression for using perf with the ARM CoreSight as the
sink configuration was missing due to the deletion.
- Fix the double free in the perf CPU map merging test case
- Add the missing ustring support for the perf probe command"

eBPF requires needing to know the size of the perf ring buffer structure.
But it unfortunately has the same name as the generic ring buffer used by
tracing and oprofile. To make it less ambiguous, rename the perf ring buffer
structure to "perf_buffer".
As other parts of the ring buffer code has "perf_" as the prefix, it only
makes sense to give the ring buffer the "perf_" prefix as well.

Exporting perf_event_pause() as an external accessor for kernel users (such

Currently, perf_event_period() is used by user tools via ioctl. Based on
naming convention, exporting perf_event_period() for kernel users (such
as KVM) who may recalibrate the event period for their assigned counter
according to their requirements.
The perf_event_period() is an external accessor, just like the
perf_event_{en,dis}able() and should thus use perf_event_ctx_lock().

In current mainline, the degree of access to perf_event_open(2) system
call depends on the perf_event_paranoid sysctl. This has a number of
limitations:
1. The sysctl is only a single value. Many types of accesses are controlled
based on the single value thus making the control very limited and
coarse grained.
2. The sysctl is global, so if the sysctl is changed, then that means
all processes get access to perf_event_open(2) opening the door to
security issues.
This patch adds LSM and SELinux access checking which will be used in
Android to access perf_event_open(2) for the purposes of attaching BPF
programs to tracepoints, perf profiling and other operations from
userspace. These operations are intended for production systems.
5 new LSM hooks are added:
1. perf_event_open: This controls access during the perf_event_open(2)
syscall itself. The hook is called from all the places that the
perf_event_paranoid sysctl is checked to keep it consistent with the
systctl. The hook gets passed a 'type' argument which controls CPU,
kernel and tracepoint accesses (in this context, CPU, kernel and
tracepoint have the same semantics as the perf_event_paranoid sysctl).
Additionally, I added an 'open' type which is similar to
perf_event_paranoid sysctl == 3 patch carried in Android and several other
distros but was rejected in mainline [1] in 2016.
2. perf_event_alloc: This allocates a new security object for the event
which stores the current SID within the event. It will be useful when
the perf event's FD is passed through IPC to another process which may
try to read the FD. Appropriate security checks will limit access.
3. perf_event_free: Called when the event is closed.
4. perf_event_read: Called from the read(2) and mmap(2) syscalls for the event.
5. perf_event_write: Called from the ioctl(2) syscalls for the event.
[1] https://lwn.net/Articles/696240/
Since Peter had suggest LSM hooks in 2016 [1], I am adding his
Suggested-by tag below.
To use this patch, we set the perf_event_paranoid sysctl to -1 and then
apply selinux checking as appropriate (default deny everything, and then
add policy rules to give access to domains that need it). In the future
we can remove the perf_event_paranoid sysctl altogether.

In some cases, ordinary (non-AUX) events can generate data for AUX events.
For example, PEBS events can come out as records in the Intel PT stream
instead of their usual DS records, if configured to do so.
One requirement for such events is to consistently schedule together, to
ensure that the data from the "AUX output" events isn't lost while their
corresponding AUX event is not scheduled. We use grouping to provide this
guarantee: an "AUX output" event can be added to a group where an AUX event
is a group leader, and provided that the former supports writing to the
latter.

So far, we tried to disallow grouping exclusive events for the fear of
complications they would cause with moving between contexts. Specifically,
moving a software group to a hardware context would violate the exclusivity
rules if both groups contain matching exclusive events.
This attempt was, however, unsuccessful: the check that we have in the
perf_event_open() syscall is both wrong (looks at wrong PMU) and
insufficient (group leader may still be exclusive), as can be illustrated
by running:
$ perf record -e '{intel_pt//,cycles}' uname
$ perf record -e '{cycles,intel_pt//}' uname
ultimately successfully.
Furthermore, we are completely free to trigger the exclusivity violation
by:
perf -e '{cycles,intel_pt//}' -e '{intel_pt//,instructions}'
even though the helpful perf record will not allow that, the ABI will.
The warning later in the perf_event_open() path will also not trigger, because
it's also wrong.
Fix all this by validating the original group before moving, getting rid
of broken safeguards and placing a useful one to perf_install_in_context().

Adding attr_update attribute group into pmu, to allow
having multiple attribute groups for same group name.
This will allow us to update "events" or "format"
directories with attributes that depend on various
HW conditions.
For example having group_format_extra group that updates
"format" directory only if pmu version is 2 and higher:
static umode_t
exra_is_visible(struct kobject *kobj, struct attribute *attr, int i)
{
return x86_pmu.version >= 2 ? attr->mode : 0;
}
static struct attribute_group group_format_extra = {
.name = "format",
.is_visible = exra_is_visible,
};
