Alexey Budankov 6b3e0e2e04 perf tools: Support CAP_PERFMON capability
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:

  index 78b2fd4c8a95..89b5b0279b60 100644

   #define CAP_AUDIT_READ       37

  +#define CAP_PERFMON	     38

  +#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.

As root, with a libcap supporting CAP_PERFMON:

  # groupadd perf_users
  # adduser perf -g perf_users
  # mkdir ~perf/bin
  # cp ~acme/bin/perf ~perf/bin/
  # chgrp perf_users ~perf/bin/perf

Kan Liang d3f85437ad perf evsel: Support PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
A new branch sample type PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX has been introduced
in latest kernel.

Enable HW_INDEX by default in LBR call stack mode.

If kernel doesn't support the sample type, switching it off.

Add HW_INDEX in attr_fprintf as well. User can check whether the branch
sample type is set via debug information or header.

Committer testing:

First collect some samples with LBR callchains, system wide, for a few
seconds:

  # perf record --call-graph lbr -a sleep 5
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.625 MB perf.data (224 samples) ]
  #

Now lets use 'perf evlist -v' to look at the branch_sample_type:

  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK|NO_FLAGS|NO_CYCLES|HW_INDEX
  #

So the machine has the kernel feature, and it was correctly added to
perf_event_attr.branch_sample_type, for the default 'cycles' event.

If we do it in another machine, where the kernel lacks the HW_INDEX
feature, we get:

  # perf record --call-graph lbr -a sleep 2s
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.690 MB perf.data (499 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK|NO_FLAGS|NO_CYCLES
  #

No HW_INDEX in attr.branch_sample_type.

Kan Liang 42bbabed09 perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stack
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.

Committer notes:

Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have
proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf,
eventually.

Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header.

Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build
on arm64.

Leo Yan 3220fb8d5e perf parse: Copy string to perf_evsel_config_term
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 1dc925568f ("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.

Leo Yan e884602b57 perf parse: Refactor 'struct perf_evsel_config_term'
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.

Andi Kleen 4804e01116 perf stat: Use affinity for opening events
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.

Before with a large test case with 94 CPUs:

Adrian Hunter a1ac7de690 perf pmu: When using default config, record which bits of config were 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.

Adrian Hunter eb7a52d46c perf record: Add aux-sample-size config term
To allow individual events to be selected for AUX area sampling, add
aux-sample-size config term. attr.aux_sample_size is updated by
auxtrace_parse_sample_options() so that the existing validation will see
the value. Any event that has a non-zero aux_sample_size will cause AUX
area sampling to be configured, irrespective of the --aux-sample option.

Adrian Hunter 98dcf14d7f perf tools: Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions
Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into
line with the kernel version.

New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area
buffer.  New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the
desired size of the sample.

Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e.
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX.

Committer notes:

I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking
automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch
in this series we would have:

  sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating
  test child finished with -1

With the two paches combined:

Committer notes:

added to util/python.c, since we don't link the debug.o file in the
python binding, which ended up making 'perf test python' fail with:

  # perf test -v python

Stephane Eranian 4ec8d98489 perf record: Fix priv level with branch sampling for paranoid=2
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.

  Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux
  file is not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.

  Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.

  If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved
  even with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

That warning about restricted kernel maps will be suppressed in a follow
up patch, as perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel is set, i.e. no samples for
the kernel will be taken and thus no need for those maps.

So that we don't carry the session.h include directive in auxtrace.h,
which in turn opens a can of worms of files that were getting all sorts
of things via that include, fix them all.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 91854f9a07 perf tools: Move everything related to sys_perf_event_open() to perf-sys.h
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.

Igor Lubashev aa97293ff1 perf evsel: Kernel profiling is disallowed only when perf_event_paranoid > 1
Perf was too restrictive about sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid. The
kernel only disallows profiling when perf_event_paranoid > 1. Make perf
do the same.

Committer testing:

For a non-root user:

  $ id
  uid=1000(acme) gid=1000(acme) groups=1000(acme),10(wheel) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
  $

Before:

We were restricting it to just userspace (:u suffix) even for a
workload started by the user:

  $ perf record sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
  $ perf evlist
  cycles:u
  $ perf evlist -v
  cycles:u: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, exclude_kernel: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1
  $ perf report --stdio
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 8  of event 'cycles:u'
  # Event count (approx.): 1040396

  #
  # (Tip: Order by the overhead of source file name and line number: perf report -s srcline)
  #
  $
  $

After:

When the kernel allows profiling the kernel in that scenario:

  $ perf record sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.023 MB perf.data (11 samples) ]
  $ perf evlist
