According to the API, if memory allocation wasn't possible, or some other error occurs, asprintf will return -1, and the contents of strp below are undefined. int asprintf(char **strp, const char *fmt, ...); This patch takes care of return value of asprintf to make it less error prone and prevent the following build warning. ignoring return value of ‘asprintf’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result] Signed-off-by:

When it is not possible for a non-privilege perf command to monitor at the kernel level (:k), the fallback code forces a :u. That works if the event was previously monitoring both levels. But if the event was already constrained to kernel only, then it does not make sense to restrict it to user only. Given the code works by exclusion, a kernel only event would have: attr->exclude_user = 1 The fallback code would add: attr->exclude_kernel = 1 In the end the end would not monitor in either the user level or kernel level. In other words, it would count nothing. An event programmed to monitor kernel only cannot be switched to user only without seriously warning the user. This patch forces an error in this case to make it clear the request cannot really be satisfied. Behavior with paranoid 1: $ sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid" $ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 1,520,413 cycles:k 1.002361664 seconds time elapsed 0.002480000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys Old behavior with paranoid 2: $ sudo bash -c "echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid" $ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 0 cycles:ku 1.002358127 seconds time elapsed 0.002384000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys New behavior with paranoid 2: $ sudo bash -c "echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid" $ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1 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_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

When AUX area events are used in sampling mode, they must be the group leader, but the group leader is also used for leader-sampling. However, it is not desirable to use an AUX area event as the leader for leader-sampling, because it doesn't have any samples of its own. To support leader-sampling with AUX area events, use the 2nd event of the group as the "leader" for the purposes of leader-sampling. Example: # perf record --kcore --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cycles,instructions}:S' -c 10000 uname [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.786 MB perf.data ] # perf report Samples: 380 of events 'anon group { cycles, instructions }', Event count (approx.): 3026164 Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol + 38.76% 42.65% 0.00% 0.00% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __x86_indirect_thunk_rax + 35.82% 31.33% 0.00% 0.00% uname ld-2.28.so [.] _dl_start_user + 34.29% 29.74% 0.55% 0.47% uname ld-2.28.so [.] _dl_start + 33.73% 28.62% 1.60% 0.97% uname ld-2.28.so [.] dl_main + 33.19% 29.04% 0.52% 0.32% uname ld-2.28.so [.] _dl_sysdep_start + 27.83% 33.74% 0.00% 0.00% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_syscall_64 + 26.76% 33.29% 0.00% 0.00% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe + 23.78% 20.33% 5.97% 5.25% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault + 23.18% 24.60% 0.00% 0.00% uname libc-2.28.so [.] __libc_start_main + 22.64% 24.37% 0.00% 0.00% uname uname [.] _start + 21.04% 23.27% 0.00% 0.00% uname uname [.] main + 19.48% 18.08% 3.72% 3.64% uname ld-2.28.so [.] _dl_relocate_object + 19.47% 21.81% 0.00% 0.00% uname libc-2.28.so [.] setlocale + 19.44% 21.56% 0.52% 0.61% uname libc-2.28.so [.] _nl_find_locale + 17.87% 19.66% 0.00% 0.00% uname libc-2.28.so [.] _nl_load_locale_from_archive + 15.71% 13.73% 0.53% 0.52% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_page_fault + 15.18% 13.21% 1.03% 0.68% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] handle_mm_fault + 14.15% 12.53% 1.01% 1.12% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __handle_mm_fault + 12.03% 9.67% 0.54% 0.32% uname ld-2.28.so [.] _dl_map_object + 10.55% 8.48% 0.00% 0.00% uname ld-2.28.so [.] openaux + 10.55% 20.20% 0.52% 0.61% uname libc-2.28.so [.] __run_exit_handlers Comnmitter notes: Fixed up this problem: util/record.c: In function ‘perf_evlist__config’: util/record.c:256:3: error: too few arguments to function ‘perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling’ 256 | perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(evsel); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ util/record.c:190:13: note: declared here 190 | static void perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(struct evsel *evsel, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by:Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200401101613.6201-17-adrian.hunter@intel.comSigned-off-by:

Tools find the correct evsel, and therefore read format, using the event ID, so it isn't necessary for all read formats to be the same. In the case of leader-sampling of AUX area events, dummy tracking events will have a different read format, so relax the validation to become a debug message only. Signed-off-by:

Move leader-sampling configuration in preparation for adding support for leader sampling with AUX area events. Committer notes: It only makes sense when configuring an evsel that is part of an evlist, so the only case where it is called outside perf_evlist__config(), in some 'perf test' entry, is safe, and even there we should just use perf_evlist__config(), but since in that case we have just one evsel in the evlist, it is equivalent. Also fixed up this problem: util/record.c: In function ‘perf_evlist__config’: util/record.c:223:3: error: too many arguments to function ‘perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling’ 223 | perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(evsel, evlist); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ util/record.c:170:13: note: declared here 170 | static void perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(struct evsel *evsel) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: -

An AUX area event must be the group leader when recording traces in sample mode, but that does not produce the expected results from 'perf report' because it expects the leader to provide samples. Rather than teach 'perf report' about AUX area sampling, un-group the AUX area event during processing, making the 2nd event the leader. Example: $ perf record -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}' -c 1 uname Linux [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.080 MB perf.data ] Before: $ perf report

This script works in tandem with d3-flame-graph to generate flame graphs from perf. It supports two output formats: JSON and HTML (the default). The HTML format will look for a standalone d3-flame-graph template file in /usr/share/d3-flame-graph/d3-flamegraph-base.html and fill in the collected stacks. Usage: perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60 perf script report flamegraph Combined: perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 60 Committer testing: Tested both with "PYTHON=python3" and with the default, that uses python2-devel: Complete set of instructions: $ mkdir /tmp/build/perf $ make PYTHON=python3 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin $ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH $ perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60 $ perf script report flamegraph Now go and open the generated flamegraph.html file in a browser. At first this required building with PYTHON=python3, but after I reported this Andreas was kind enough to send a patch making it work with both python and python3.

The xxx_mountpoint() interface provided by fs.c finds mount points for common pseudo filesystems. The first time xxx_mountpoint() is invoked, it scans the mount table (/proc/mounts) looking for a match. If found, it is cached. The price to scan /proc/mounts is paid once if the mount is found. When the mount point is not found, subsequent calls to xxx_mountpoint() scan /proc/mounts over and over again. There is no caching. This causes a scaling issue in perf record with hugeltbfs__mountpoint(). The function is called for each process found in synthesize__mmap_events(). If the machine has thousands of processes and if the /proc/mounts has many entries this could cause major overhead in perf record. We have observed multi-second slowdowns on some configurations. As an example on a laptop: Before: $ sudo umount /dev/hugepages $ strace -e trace=openat -o /tmp/tt perf record -a ls $ fgrep mounts /tmp/tt 285 After: $ sudo umount /dev/hugepages $ strace -e trace=openat -o /tmp/tt perf record -a ls $ fgrep mounts /tmp/tt 1 One could argue that the non-caching in case the moint point is not found is intentional. That way subsequent calls may discover a moint point if the sysadmin mounts the filesystem. But the same argument could be made against caching the mount point. It could be unmounted causing errors. It all depends on the intent of the interface. This patch assumes it is expected to scan /proc/mounts once. The patch documents the caching behavior in the fs.h header file. An alternative would be to just fix perf record. But it would solve the problem with hugetlbs__mountpoint() but there could be similar issues (possibly down the line) with other xxx_mountpoint() calls in perf or other tools. Signed-off-by:

Update perf-security.rst documentation file with the information related to usage of CAP_PERFMON capability to secure performance monitoring and observability operations in system. Committer notes: While testing 'perf top' under cap_perfmon I noticed that it needs some more capability and Alexey pointed out cap_ipc_lock, as needed by this kernel chunk: kernel/events/core.c: 6101 if ((locked > lock_limit) && perf_is_paranoid() && !capable(CAP_IPC_LOCK)) { ret = -EPERM; goto unlock; } So I added it to the documentation, and also mentioned that if the libcap version doesn't yet supports 'cap_perfmon', its numeric value can be used instead, i.e. if: # setcap "cap_perfmon,cap_ipc_lock,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog=ep" perf Fails, try: # setcap "38,cap_ipc_lock,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog=ep" perf I also added a paragraph stating that using an unpatched libcap will fail the check for CAP_PERFMON, as it checks the cap number against a maximum to see if it is valid, which makes it use as the default the 'cycles:u' event, even tho a cap_perfmon capable perf binary can get kernel samples, to workaround that just use, e.g.: # perf top -e cycles # perf record -e cycles And it will sample kernel and user modes.

Using 'perf top -e cycles' avoids the default check and sets perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to 1.

Open access to monitoring via kprobes and uprobes and eBPF tracing for CAP_PERFMON privileged process. Providing the access under CAP_PERFMON capability singly, without the rest of CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials, excludes chances to misuse the credentials and makes operation more secure. perf kprobes and uprobes are used by ftrace and eBPF. perf probe uses ftrace to define new kprobe events, and those events are treated as tracepoint events. eBPF defines new probes via perf_event_open interface and then the probes are used in eBPF tracing. 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.

Introduce the CAP_PERFMON capability designed to secure system performance monitoring and observability operations so that CAP_PERFMON can assist CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in its governing role for performance monitoring and observability subsystems. CAP_PERFMON hardens system security and integrity during performance monitoring and observability operations by decreasing attack surface that is available to a CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged process [2]. Providing the access to system performance monitoring and observability operations under CAP_PERFMON capability singly, without the rest of CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials, excludes chances to misuse the credentials and makes the operation more secure. Thus, 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) CAP_PERFMON meets the demand to secure system performance monitoring and observability operations for adoption in security sensitive, restricted, multiuser production environments (e.g. HPC clusters, cloud and virtual compute environments), where root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials are not available to mass users of a system, and securely unblocks applicability and scalability of system performance monitoring and observability operations beyond root and CAP_SYS_ADMIN use cases. CAP_PERFMON takes over CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials related to system performance monitoring and observability operations and balances amount of CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials following the recommendations in the capabilities man page [1] for CAP_SYS_ADMIN: "Note: this capability is overloaded; see Notes to kernel developers, below." For backward compatibility reasons access to system performance monitoring and observability subsystems of the kernel remains open for CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged processes but CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability usage for secure system performance monitoring and observability operations is discouraged with respect to the designed CAP_PERFMON capability. Although the software running under CAP_PERFMON can not ensure avoidance of related hardware issues, the software can still mitigate these issues following the official hardware issues mitigation procedure [2]. The bugs in the software itself can be fixed following the standard kernel development process [3] to maintain and harden security of system performance monitoring and observability operations.

Add the DSO_BINARY_TYPE__BPF_IMAGE dso binary type to recognize BPF images that carry trampoline or dispatcher. Upcoming patches will add support to read the image data, store it within the BPF feature in perf.data and display it for annotation purposes.
