When building with CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION on a ppc64le host with an x86
cross-compiler, Stephen Rothwell saw the following objtool build errors:

It fails to build because it tries to compile objtool with the
cross-compiler instead of the host compiler.
Ensure that it always uses the host compiler by ignoring CROSS_COMPILE.
In order to do that properly, the libsubcmd.a library needs to be built
in tools/objtool/ rather than tools/lib/subcmd/. The latter directory
contains the cross-compiled version which is needed for perf and
possibly other tools.
Note that cross-compiling for x86 on a _big_ endian system would result
in a bunch of false positive objtool warnings during the kernel build
because it isn't endian-aware. But that's generally a rare edge case
and there haven't been any reports of anybody needing that.

When running objtool on a ppc64le host to analyze x86 binaries, it
reports a lot of false warnings like:
ipc/compat_mq.o: warning: objtool: compat_SyS_mq_open()+0x91: can't find jump dest instruction at .text+0x3a5
The warnings are caused by the x86 instruction decoder setting the wrong
value for the jump instruction's immediate field because it assumes that
"char == signed char", which isn't true for all architectures. When
converting char to int, gcc sign-extends on x86 but doesn't sign-extend
on ppc64le.
According to the gcc man page, that's a feature, not a bug:
> Each kind of machine has a default for what "char" should be. It is
> either like "unsigned char" by default or like "signed char" by
> default.
>
> Ideally, a portable program should always use "signed char" or
> "unsigned char" when it depends on the signedness of an object.
Conform to the "standards" by changing the "char" casts to "signed
char". This results in no actual changes to the object code on x86.
Note: the x86 decoder now lives in three different locations in the
kernel tree, which are all kept in sync via makefile checks and
warnings: in-kernel, perf, and objtool. This fixes all three locations.
Eventually we should probably try to at least converge the two separate
"tools" locations into a single shared location.

This adds a host tool named objtool which has a "check" subcommand which
analyzes .o files to ensure the validity of stack metadata. It enforces
a set of rules on asm code and C inline assembly code so that stack
traces can be reliable.
For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths and
validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
It also follows code paths involving kernel special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements, for
which gcc sometimes uses jump tables.
Here are some of the benefits of validating stack metadata:
a) More reliable stack traces for frame pointer enabled kernels
Frame pointers are used for debugging purposes. They allow runtime
code and debug tools to be able to walk the stack to determine the
chain of function call sites that led to the currently executing
code.
For some architectures, frame pointers are enabled by
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. For some other architectures they may be
required by the ABI (sometimes referred to as "backchain pointers").
For C code, gcc automatically generates instructions for setting up
frame pointers when the -fno-omit-frame-pointer option is used.
But for asm code, the frame setup instructions have to be written by
hand, which most people don't do. So the end result is that
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is honored for C code but not for most asm code.
For stack traces based on frame pointers to be reliable, all
functions which call other functions must first create a stack frame
and update the frame pointer. If a first function doesn't properly
create a stack frame before calling a second function, the *caller*
of the first function will be skipped on the stack trace.
For example, consider the following example backtrace with frame
pointers enabled:
[<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
[<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
[<ffffffff8127f568>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0
[<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
[<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
[<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
[<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
[<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76
It correctly shows that the caller of cmdline_proc_show() is
seq_read().
If we remove the frame pointer logic from cmdline_proc_show() by
replacing the frame pointer related instructions with nops, here's
what it looks like instead:
[<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
[<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
[<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
[<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
[<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
[<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
[<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76
Notice that cmdline_proc_show()'s caller, seq_read(), has been
skipped. Instead the stack trace seems to show that
cmdline_proc_show() was called by proc_reg_read().
The benefit of "objtool check" here is that because it ensures that
*all* functions honor CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, no functions will ever[*]
be skipped on a stack trace.
[*] unless an interrupt or exception has occurred at the very
beginning of a function before the stack frame has been created,
or at the very end of the function after the stack frame has been
destroyed. This is an inherent limitation of frame pointers.
b) 100% reliable stack traces for DWARF enabled kernels
This is not yet implemented. For more details about what is planned,
see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.
c) Higher live patching compatibility rate
This is not yet implemented. For more details about what is planned,
see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.
To achieve the validation, "objtool check" enforces the following rules:
1. Each callable function must be annotated as such with the ELF
function type. In asm code, this is typically done using the
ENTRY/ENDPROC macros. If objtool finds a return instruction
outside of a function, it flags an error since that usually indicates
callable code which should be annotated accordingly.
This rule is needed so that objtool can properly identify each
callable function in order to analyze its stack metadata.
2. Conversely, each section of code which is *not* callable should *not*
be annotated as an ELF function. The ENDPROC macro shouldn't be used
in this case.
This rule is needed so that objtool can ignore non-callable code.
Such code doesn't have to follow any of the other rules.
3. Each callable function which calls another function must have the
correct frame pointer logic, if required by CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER or
the architecture's back chain rules. This can by done in asm code
with the FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END macros.
This rule ensures that frame pointer based stack traces will work as
designed. If function A doesn't create a stack frame before calling
function B, the _caller_ of function A will be skipped on the stack
trace.
4. Dynamic jumps and jumps to undefined symbols are only allowed if:
a) the jump is part of a switch statement; or
b) the jump matches sibling call semantics and the frame pointer has
the same value it had on function entry.
This rule is needed so that objtool can reliably analyze all of a
function's code paths. If a function jumps to code in another file,
and it's not a sibling call, objtool has no way to follow the jump
because it only analyzes a single file at a time.
5. A callable function may not execute kernel entry/exit instructions.
The only code which needs such instructions is kernel entry code,
which shouldn't be be in callable functions anyway.
This rule is just a sanity check to ensure that callable functions
return normally.
It currently only supports x86_64. I tried to make the code generic so
that support for other architectures can hopefully be plugged in
relatively easily.
On my Lenovo laptop with a i7-4810MQ 4-core/8-thread CPU, building the
kernel with objtool checking every .o file adds about three seconds of
total build time. It hasn't been optimized for performance yet, so
there are probably some opportunities for better build performance.

One is by Yang Shi who added a READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to the scan of the
stack made by the stack tracer. As the stack tracer scans the entire
kernel stack, KASAN triggers seeing it as a "stack out of bounds" error.
As the scan is looking at the contents of the stack from parent functions.
The NOCHECK() tells KASAN that this is done on purpose, and is not some
kind of stack overflow.
The second fix is to the ftrace selftests, to retrieve the PID of executed
commands from the shell with "$!" and not by parsing "jobs".

This catches a regression from the compat syscall rework. The
32-bit variant of this test currently fails. The issue is that, for
a 32-bit tracer and a 32-bit tracee, GETREGS+SETREGS with no changes
should be a no-op. It currently isn't a no-op if RAX indicates
signal restart, because the high bits get cleared and the kernel
loses track of the restart state.

This is a second attempt to make the improvements from c6f2062935
("x86/signal/64: Fix SS handling for signals delivered to 64-bit
programs"), which was reverted by 51adbfbba5c6 ("x86/signal/64: Add
support for SS in the 64-bit signal context").
This adds two new uc_flags flags. UC_SIGCONTEXT_SS will be set for
all 64-bit signals (including x32). It indicates that the saved SS
field is valid and that the kernel supports the new behavior.
The goal is to fix a problems with signal handling in 64-bit tasks:
SS wasn't saved in the 64-bit signal context, making it awkward to
determine what SS was at the time of signal delivery and making it
impossible to return to a non-flat SS (as calling sigreturn clobbers
SS).
This also made it extremely difficult for 64-bit tasks to return to
fully-defined 16-bit contexts, because only the kernel can easily do
espfix64, but sigreturn was unable to set a non-flag SS:ESP.
(DOSEMU has a monstrous hack to partially work around this
limitation.)
If we could go back in time, the correct fix would be to make 64-bit
signals work just like 32-bit signals with respect to SS: save it
in signal context, reset it when delivering a signal, and restore
it in sigreturn.
Unfortunately, doing that (as I tried originally) breaks DOSEMU:
DOSEMU wouldn't reset the signal context's SS when clearing the LDT
and changing the saved CS to 64-bit mode, since it predates the SS
context field existing in the first place.
This patch is a bit more complicated, and it tries to balance a
bunch of goals. It makes most cases of changing ucontext->ss during
signal handling work as expected.
I do this by special-casing the interesting case. On sigreturn,
ucontext->ss will be honored by default, unless the ucontext was
created from scratch by an old program and had a 64-bit CS
(unfortunately, CRIU can do this) or was the result of changing a
32-bit signal context to 64-bit without resetting SS (as DOSEMU
does).
For the benefit of new 64-bit software that uses segmentation (new
versions of DOSEMU might), the new behavior can be detected with a
new ucontext flag UC_SIGCONTEXT_SS.
To avoid compilation issues, __pad0 is left as an alias for ss in
ucontext.
The nitty-gritty details are documented in the header file.
This patch also re-enables the sigreturn_64 and ldt_gdt_64 selftests,
as the kernel change allows both of them to pass.

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.
We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

Merge tag 'perf-urgent-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- tracepoint_error() can receive e=NULL, robustify it, fixes a problem noticed
with a very specific combination: Machine with Intel PT (e.g. Broadwell),
kernel with no perf_event_attr.context_switch feature (e.g. 4.2) and unreadable
tracefs (for instance !root users), making the fallback from
perf_event_attr.context_switch to the sched:sched_switch tracepoint to fail
reading its info from tracefs, fix it. (Adrian Hunter)
- Fix segfault in intel PT, by making it follow the 'struct thread' lifetime cycle
checking expectations, noticed for instance, when processing perf.data files with
Intel PT data using 'perf script' and when exiting 'perf report' (Adrian Hunter)
- Fix CFI usage from .eh_frame and .debug_frame, which sometimes requires that we
fallback from .eh_frame to .debug_frame in architectures such as PowerPC (Hemant Kumar)

We broke interval data displays with commit:
3f416f22d1 ("perf stat: Do not clean event's private stats")
This commit removed stats cleaning, which is important for '-r' option
to carry counters data over the whole run. But it's necessary to clean
it for interval mode, otherwise the displayed value is avg of all
previous values.
Before:
$ perf stat -e cycles -a -I 1000 record
# time counts unit events
1.000240796 75,216,287 cycles
2.000512791 107,823,524 cycles
$ perf stat report
# time counts unit events
1.000240796 75,216,287 cycles
2.000512791 91,519,906 cycles
Now:
$ perf stat report
# time counts unit events
1.000240796 75,216,287 cycles
2.000512791 107,823,524 cycles
Notice the second value being bigger (91,.. < 107,..).
This could be easily verified by using perf script which displays raw
stat data:
$ perf script
CPU THREAD VAL ENA RUN TIME EVENT
0 -1 23855779 1000209530 1000209530 1000240796 cycles
1 -1 33340397 1000224964 1000224964 1000240796 cycles
2 -1 15835415 1000226695 1000226695 1000240796 cycles
3 -1 2184696 1000228245 1000228245 1000240796 cycles
0 -1 97014312 2000514533 2000514533 2000512791 cycles
1 -1 46121497 2000543795 2000543795 2000512791 cycles
2 -1 32269530 2000543566 2000543566 2000512791 cycles
3 -1 7634472 2000544108 2000544108 2000512791 cycles
The sum of the first 4 values is the first interval aggregated value:
23855779 + 33340397 + 15835415 + 2184696 = 75,216,287
The sum of the second 4 values minus first value is the second interval
aggregated value:
97014312 + 46121497 + 32269530 + 7634472 - 75216287 = 107,823,524

'perf probe' through debuginfo__find_probes() in util/probe-finder.c
checks for the functions' frame descriptions in either .eh_frame section
of an ELF or the .debug_frame.
The check is based on whether either one of these sections is present.
Depending on distro, toolchain defaults, architetcutre, build flags,
etc., CFI might be found in either .eh_frame and/or .debug_frame.
Sometimes, it may happen that, .eh_frame, even if present, may not be
complete and may miss some descriptions.
Therefore, to be sure, to find the CFI covering an address we will
always have to investigate both if available.
For e.g., in powerpc, this may happen:
$ gcc -g bin.c -o bin
$ objdump --dwarf ./bin
<1><145>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<146> DW_AT_external : 1
<146> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x9e): main
<14a> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<14b> DW_AT_decl_line : 39
<14c> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
<14c> DW_AT_type : <0x57>
<150> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x100007b8
If the .eh_frame and .debug_frame are checked for the same binary, we
will find that, .eh_frame (although present) doesn't contain a
description for "main" function.
But, .debug_frame has a description:
000000d8 00000024 00000000 FDE cie=00000000 pc=100007b8..10000838
DW_CFA_advance_loc: 16 to 100007c8
DW_CFA_def_cfa_offset: 144
DW_CFA_offset_extended_sf: r65 at cfa+16
...
Due to this (since, perf checks whether .eh_frame is present and goes on
searching for that address inside that frame), perf is unable to process
the probes:
# perf probe -x ./bin main
Failed to get call frame on 0x100007b8
Error: Failed to add events.
To avoid this issue, we need to check both the sections (.eh_frame and
.debug_frame), which is done in this patch.
Note that, we can always force everything into both .eh_frame and
.debug_frame by:
$ gcc bin.c -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm -g -o bin

intel_pt_process_auxtrace_info() creates a pt->unknown_thread thread
that eventually needs to be freed by the last thread__put() on it, when
its refcount hits zero, which may happen in
intel_pt_process_auxtrace_info() error handling path and triggers the
following segfault, which would happen as well at intel_pt_free, when
tools using this intel_pt codebase frees up resources:
# perf record -I -e intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=1/u /bin/ls
0 a anaconda-ks.cfg bin perf.data perf.data.old perf-f23-bringup.todo
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

#
# perf script -F event,comm,pid,tid,time,addr,ip,sym,dso,iregs
Samples for 'instructions:u' event do not have IREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'iregs' field.
intel_pt_synth_events: failed to synthesize 'instructions' event type
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
#
The problem is: there's a union in 'struct thread' combines a list_head
and a rb_node. The standard life cycle of a thread is: init rb_node in
the constructor, insert it into machine->threads rbtree using rb_node,
move it to machine->dead_threads using list_head, clean in the last
thread__put: list_del_init(&thread->node).
In the above command, it clean a thread before adding it into list,
causes the above segfault.
Since pt->unknown_thread will never live in an rbtree, initialize its
list node so that when list_del_init() is done on it we don't segfault.
After this patch:
# perf script -F event,comm,pid,tid,time,addr,ip,sym,dso,iregs
Samples for 'instructions:u' event do not have IREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'iregs' field.

Intel PT attempts to find the sched:sched_switch tracepoint but that seg
faults if tracefs is not readable, because the error reporting structure
is null, as errors are not reported when automatically adding
tracepoints. Fix by checking before using.
Committer note:
This doesn't take place in a kernel that supports
perf_event_attr.context_switch, that is the default way that will be
used for tracking context switches, only in older kernels, like 4.2, in
a machine with Intel PT (e.g. Broadwell) for non-priviledged users.
Further info from a similar patch by Wang:
The error is in tracepoint_error: it assumes the 'e' parameter is valid.
However, there are many situation a parse_event() can be called without
parse_events_error. See result of
$ grep 'parse_events(.*NULL)' ./tools/perf/ -r'

106a94a0f8 ("perf stat: Introduce read_counters function")
This commit merged interval and overall counters reading into single
read_counters function.
The old interval code cleaned the stddev data for some reason (it's
never displayed in interval mode) and the mentioned commit kept on
cleaning the stddev data in merged function, which resulted in the
stddev not being displayed.
Removing the wrong stddev data cleanup init_stats call.

This adds micro-benchmarks useful for tuning virtio ring layouts.
Three layouts are currently implemented:
- virtio 0.9 compatible one
- an experimental extension bypassing the ring index, polling ring
itself instead
- an experimental extension bypassing avail and used ring completely
Typical use:
sh run-on-all.sh perf stat -r 10 --log-fd 1 -- ./ring
It doesn't depend on the kernel directly, but it's handy
to have as much virtio stuff as possible in one tree.

Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This includes fixes on top of the previous batch of PM+ACPI updates
and some new material as well.
From the new material perspective the most significant are the driver
core changes that should allow USB devices to stay suspended over
system suspend/resume cycles if they have been runtime-suspended
already beforehand. Apart from that, ACPICA is updated to upstream
revision 20160108 (cosmetic mostly, but including one fixup on top of
the previous ACPICA update) and there are some devfreq updates the
didn't make it before (due to timing).
A few recent regressions are fixed, most importantly in the cpuidle
menu governor and in the ACPI backlight driver and some x86 platform
drivers depending on it.
Some more bugs are fixed and cleanups are made on top of that.
Specifics:
- Modify the driver core and the USB subsystem to allow USB devices
to stay suspended over system suspend/resume cycles if they have
been runtime-suspended already beforehand and fix some bugs on top
of these changes (Tomeu Vizoso, Rafael Wysocki).

Introducing FEATURES_DUMP make variable to provide features
detection dump file and bypass the feature detection.
The intention is to use this during build tests to skip
repeated features detection, like:
Get feature dump static build into /tmp/fd file:
$ make feature-dump FEATURE_DUMP_COPY=/tmp/fd LDFLAGS=-static
BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
Auto-detecting system features:
... dwarf: [ OFF ]
SNIP
FEATURE-DUMP file copied into /tmp/fd
Use /tmp/fd to build perf:
$ make FEATURES_DUMP=/tmp/fd LDFLAGS=-static
$ file perf

Kernel makefile only follows an 'O' option passed from command line
explicitely. In build-test with 'O' option set, kernel makefile
contaminate kernel source directory. Build test also fail if we don't
create output directory manually.
K_O_OPT is added and passed to kernel makefile if 'O' is passed
to build-test.

If an 'O' is passed to 'make build-test', many 'test -x' and 'test -f'
will fail because perf resides in a different directory. Fix this by
computing PERF_OUT according to 'O' and test correct output files.
For make_kernelsrc and make_kernelsrc_tools, set KBUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
instead because the path is different from others ($(O)/perf vs
$(O)/tools/perf).

Unlike tools/perf/Makefile, tools/perf/Makefile.perf obey 'O' option
when it is passed through cmdline only, due to code in
tools/scripts/Makefile.include:
ifneq ($(O),)
ifeq ($(origin O), command line)
...
ABSOLUTE_O := $(shell cd $(O) ; pwd)
OUTPUT := $(ABSOLUTE_O)/$(if $(subdir),$(subdir)/)
endif
endif
This patch passes 'O' to Makefile.perf through cmdline explicitly
to make it follow O variable during build-test.
'make clean' should have identical 'O' option with 'make'. If not,
config-clean may error.

'make build-test' is painful because of time consuming. In a full test,
all test cases are built twice with tools/perf/Makefile and
tools/perf/Makefile.perf. 'Makefile' automatically computes parallel
options for make, but 'Makefile.perf' not, so all test cases is built
with one job. It is very slow.
This patch adds '-j' options to Makefile.perf testing. It computes
parallel building options like what tools/perf/Makefile does, and pass
'-j' option to Makefile.perf test.

We need to use the long name (the filename) when reading the build-id
from a DSO. Using the short name doesn't work for (at least) vDSOs.

While recording guest samples in host using perf kvm record, it will
populate unprocessable sample error, though samples will be recorded
properly. While generating report using perf kvm report, no samples will
be processed and same error will populate. We have seen this behaviour
with upstream perf(4.4-rc3) on x86 and ppc64 hardware.
Reason behind this failure is, when it tries to fetch machine from
rb_tree of machines, it fails. As a part of tracing a bug, we figured
out that this code was incorrectly refactored in commit 54245fdc35
("perf session: Remove wrappers to machines__find").
This patch will change the functionality such that if it can't fetch
machine in first trial, it will create one node of machine and add that to
rb_tree. So next time when it tries to fetch same machine from rb_tree,
it won't fail. Actually it was the case before refactoring of code in
aforementioned commit.
This patch is generated from acme perf/core branch.
Below I've mention an example that demonstrate the behaviour before and
after applying patch.
Before applying patch:
[Note: One needs to run guest before recording data in host]
