Since commit:
1fd7e41699 ("perf/core: Remove perf_cpu_context::unique_pmu")
... when a PMU is unregistered then its associated ->pmu_cpu_context is
unconditionally freed. Whilst this is fine for dynamically allocated
context types (i.e. those registered using perf_invalid_context), this
causes a problem for sharing of static contexts such as
perf_{sw,hw}_context, which are used by multiple built-in PMUs and
effectively have a global lifetime.
Whilst testing the ARM SPE driver, which must use perf_sw_context to
support per-task AUX tracing, unregistering the driver as a result of a
module unload resulted in:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000038
Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
Modules linked in: [last unloaded: arm_spe_pmu]

since the software context has been freed and the ctx.pmu->pmu_disable_count
field has been set to NULL.
This patch fixes the problem by avoiding the freeing of static PMU contexts
altogether. Whilst the sharing of dynamic contexts is questionable, this
actually requires the caller to share their context pointer explicitly
and so the burden is on them to manage the object lifetime.

The following commit:
d9a50b0256 ("perf/aux: Ensure aux_wakeup represents most recent wakeup index")
changed the AUX wakeup position calculation to rounddown(), which causes
a division-by-zero in AUX overwrite mode (aka "snapshot mode").
The zero denominator results from the fact that perf record doesn't set
aux_watermark to anything, in which case the kernel will set it to half
the AUX buffer size, but only for non-overwrite mode. In the overwrite
mode aux_watermark stays zero.
The good news is that, AUX overwrite mode, wakeups don't happen and
related bookkeeping is not relevant, so we can simply forego the whole
wakeup updates.

This patch fixes a bug exhibited by the following scenario:
1. fd1 = perf_event_open with attr.config = ID1
2. attach bpf program prog1 to fd1
3. fd2 = perf_event_open with attr.config = ID1
<this will be successful>
4. user program closes fd2 and prog1 is detached from the tracepoint.
5. user program with fd1 does not work properly as tracepoint
no output any more.
The issue happens at step 4. Multiple perf_event_open can be called
successfully, but only one bpf prog pointer in the tp_event. In the
current logic, any fd release for the same tp_event will free
the tp_event->prog.
The fix is to free tp_event->prog only when the closing fd
corresponds to the one which registered the program.

Pull x86 cache quality monitoring update from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides a complete rewrite of the Cache Quality
Monitoring (CQM) facility.
The existing CQM support was duct taped into perf with a lot of issues
and the attempts to fix those turned out to be incomplete and
horrible.
After lengthy discussions it was decided to integrate the CQM support
into the Resource Director Technology (RDT) facility, which is the
obvious choise as in hardware CQM is part of RDT. This allowed to add
Memory Bandwidth Monitoring support on top.
As a result the mechanisms for allocating cache/memory bandwidth and
the corresponding monitoring mechanisms are integrated into a single
management facility with a consistent user interface"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- Add branch type profiling/tracing support. (Jin Yao)
- Add the PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR ABI to allow the tracing/profiling of
physical memory addresses, where the PMU supports it. (Kan Liang)
- Export some PMU capability details in the new
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/ sysfs directory. (Andi
Kleen)
- Aux data fixes and updates (Will Deacon)
- kprobes fixes and updates (Masami Hiramatsu)
- AMD uncore PMU driver fixes and updates (Janakarajan Natarajan)
On the tooling side, here's a (limited!) list of highlights - there
were many other changes that I could not list, see the shortlog and
git history for details:
UI improvements:
- Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the
annotate TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work
needed to have it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)
Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:
│ ┌──cmpl $0x0,argp_program_version_hook

│ │↓ jne 29
│ │↓ jmp 43
11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)
That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should
be considered together.
- Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about in
callchain entries (Jin Yao)

namespaces support:
- Add initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. (Krister Johansen)
perf trace enhancements:
- Beautify pkey_{alloc,free,mprotect} arguments in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add initial 'clone' syscall args beautifier in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Ignore 'fd' and 'offset' args for MAP_ANONYMOUS in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including:
sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events. (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data'
CTF conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show
callchains and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien)
- Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the
sense that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the
formatters of some arguments according to the value in a previous
one, i.e. cmd dictates how arg and the syscall return will be
formatted. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
perf stat enhancements:
- Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead
when groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using
{} to enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same
time, e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa)
pipe mode improvements:
- Process tracing data in 'perf annotate' pipe mode (David
Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:
$ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header
Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
Vendor specific hardware event support updates/enhancements:
- Update POWER9 vendor events tables (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
- Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)
- Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)
- Add Skylake server uncore JSON vendor events (Andi Kleen)
- Support exporting Intel PT data to sqlite3 with python perf
scripts, this is in addition to the postgresql support that was
already there (Adrian Hunter)"

Commit 7c05126793 ("mm, fork: make dup_mmap wait for mmap_sem for
write killable") made it possible to kill a forking task while it is
waiting to acquire its ->mmap_sem for write, in dup_mmap().
However, it was overlooked that this introduced an new error path before
the new mm_struct's ->uprobes_state.xol_area has been set to NULL after
being copied from the old mm_struct by the memcpy in dup_mm(). For a
task that has previously hit a uprobe tracepoint, this resulted in the
'struct xol_area' being freed multiple times if the task was killed at
just the right time while forking.
Fix it by setting ->uprobes_state.xol_area to NULL in mm_init() rather
than in uprobe_dup_mmap().
With CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS=y, the bug can be reproduced by the same C
program given by commit 2b7e8665b4 ("fork: fix incorrect fput of
->exe_file causing use-after-free"), provided that a uprobe tracepoint
has been set on the fork_thread() function. For example:
$ gcc reproducer.c -o reproducer -lpthread
$ nm reproducer | grep fork_thread
0000000000400719 t fork_thread
$ echo "p $PWD/reproducer:0x719" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

For understanding how the workload maps to memory channels and hardware
behavior, it's very important to collect address maps with physical
addresses. For example, 3D XPoint access can only be found by filtering
the physical address.
Add a new sample type for physical address.
perf already has a facility to collect data virtual address. This patch
introduces a function to convert the virtual address to physical address.
The function is quite generic and can be extended to any architecture as
long as a virtual address is provided.
- For kernel direct mapping addresses, virt_to_phys is used to convert
the virtual addresses to physical address.
- For user virtual addresses, __get_user_pages_fast is used to walk the
pages tables for user physical address.
- This does not work for vmalloc addresses right now. These are not
resolved, but code to do that could be added.
The new sample type requires collecting the virtual address. The
virtual address will not be output unless SAMPLE_ADDR is applied.
For security, the physical address can only be exposed to root or
privileged user.

I just noticed that hw.itrace_started and hw.config are aliased to the
same location. Now, the PT driver happens to use both, which works out
fine by sheer luck:
- STORE(hw.itrace_start) is ordered before STORE(hw.config), in the
program order, although there are no compiler barriers to ensure that,
- to the perf_log_itrace_start() hw.itrace_start looks set at the same
time as when it is intended to be set because both stores happen in the
same path,
- hw.config is never reset to zero in the PT driver.
Now, the use of hw.config by the PT driver makes more sense (it being a
HW PMU) than messing around with itrace_started, which is an awkward API
to begin with.
This patch replaces hw.itrace_started with an attach_state bit and an
API call for the PMU drivers to use to communicate the condition.

When running perf on the ftrace:function tracepoint, there is a bug
which can be reproduced by:
perf record -e ftrace:function -a sleep 20 &
perf record -e ftrace:function ls
perf script
ls 10304 [005] 171.853235: ftrace:function:

__task_pid_nr_ns
ls 10304 [005] 171.853244: ftrace:function:
__task_pid_nr_ns
We can see that all the function traces are doubled.
The problem is caused by the inconsistency of the register
function perf_ftrace_event_register() with the probe function
perf_ftrace_function_call(). The former registers one probe
for every perf_event. And the latter handles all perf_events
on the current cpu. So when two perf_events on the current cpu,
the traces of them will be doubled.
So this patch adds an extra parameter "event" for perf_tp_event,
only send sample data to this event when it's not NULL.

While examining the kernel source code, I found a dangerous operation that
could turn into a double-fetch situation (a race condition bug) where the same
userspace memory region are fetched twice into kernel with sanity checks after
the first fetch while missing checks after the second fetch.
1. The first fetch happens in line 9573 get_user(size, &uattr->size).
2. Subsequently the 'size' variable undergoes a few sanity checks and
transformations (line 9577 to 9584).
3. The second fetch happens in line 9610 copy_from_user(attr, uattr, size)
4. Given that 'uattr' can be fully controlled in userspace, an attacker can
race condition to override 'uattr->size' to arbitrary value (say, 0xFFFFFFFF)
after the first fetch but before the second fetch. The changed value will be
copied to 'attr->size'.
5. There is no further checks on 'attr->size' until the end of this function,
and once the function returns, we lose the context to verify that 'attr->size'
conforms to the sanity checks performed in step 2 (line 9577 to 9584).
6. My manual analysis shows that 'attr->size' is not used elsewhere later,
so, there is no working exploit against it right now. However, this could
easily turns to an exploitable one if careless developers start to use
'attr->size' later.
To fix this, override 'attr->size' from the second fetch to the one from the
first fetch, regardless of what is actually copied in.
In this way, it is assured that 'attr->size' is consistent with the checks
performed after the first fetch.

In an XDP redirect applications using tracepoint xdp:xdp_redirect to
diagnose TX overrun, I noticed perf_swevent_get_recursion_context()
was consuming 2% CPU. This was reduced to 1.85% with this simple
change.
Looking at the annotated asm code, it was clear that the unlikely case
in_nmi() test was chosen (by the compiler) as the most likely
event/branch. This small adjustment makes the compiler (GCC version
7.1.1 20170622 (Red Hat 7.1.1-3)) put in_nmi() as an unlikely branch.

The aux_watermark member of struct ring_buffer represents the period (in
terms of bytes) at which wakeup events should be generated when data is
written to the aux buffer in non-snapshot mode. On hardware that cannot
generate an interrupt when the aux_head reaches an arbitrary wakeup index
(such as ARM SPE), the aux_head sampled from handle->head in
perf_aux_output_{skip,end} may in fact be past the wakeup index. This
can lead to wakeup slowly falling behind the head. For example, consider
the case where hardware can only generate an interrupt on a page-boundary
and the aux buffer is initialised as follows:
// Buffer size is 2 * PAGE_SIZE
rb->aux_head = rb->aux_wakeup = 0
rb->aux_watermark = PAGE_SIZE / 2
following the first perf_aux_output_begin call, the handle is
initialised with:
handle->head = 0
handle->size = 2 * PAGE_SIZE
handle->wakeup = PAGE_SIZE / 2
and the hardware will be programmed to generate an interrupt at
PAGE_SIZE.
When the interrupt is raised, the hardware head will be at PAGE_SIZE,
so calling perf_aux_output_end(handle, PAGE_SIZE) puts the ring buffer
into the following state:
rb->aux_head = PAGE_SIZE
rb->aux_wakeup = PAGE_SIZE / 2
rb->aux_watermark = PAGE_SIZE / 2
and then the next call to perf_aux_output_begin will result in:
handle->head = handle->wakeup = PAGE_SIZE
for which the semantics are unclear and, for a smaller aux_watermark
(e.g. PAGE_SIZE / 4), then the wakeup would in fact be behind head at
this point.
This patch fixes the problem by rounding down the aux_head (as sampled
from the handle) to the nearest aux_watermark boundary when updating
rb->aux_wakeup, therefore taking into account any overruns by the
hardware.

The aux_head and aux_wakeup members of struct ring_buffer are defined
using the local_t type, despite the fact that they are only accessed via
the perf_aux_output_*() functions, which cannot race with each other for a
given ring buffer.
This patch changes the type of the members to long, so we can avoid
using the local_*() API where it isn't needed.

Regardless of which events form a group, it does not make sense for the
events to target different tasks and/or CPUs, as this leaves the group
inconsistent and impossible to schedule. The core perf code assumes that
these are consistent across (successfully intialised) groups.
Core perf code only verifies this when moving SW events into a HW
context. Thus, we can violate this requirement for pure SW groups and
pure HW groups, unless the relevant PMU driver happens to perform this
verification itself. These mismatched groups subsequently wreak havoc
elsewhere.
For example, we handle watchpoints as SW events, and reserve watchpoint
HW on a per-CPU basis at pmu::event_init() time to ensure that any event
that is initialised is guaranteed to have a slot at pmu::add() time.
However, the core code only checks the group leader's cpu filter (via
event_filter_match()), and can thus install follower events onto CPUs
violating thier (mismatched) CPU filters, potentially installing them
into a CPU without sufficient reserved slots.
This can be triggered with the below test case, resulting in warnings
from arch backends.

Vince reported that when we do IOC_ENABLE/IOC_DISABLE while the task
is SIGSTOP'ed state the timestamps go wobbly.
It turns out we indeed fail to correctly account time while in 'OFF'
state and doing IOC_ENABLE without getting scheduled in exposes the
problem.
Further thinking about this problem, it occurred to me that we can
suffer a similar fate when we migrate an uncore event between CPUs.
The perf_event_install() on the 'new' CPU will do add_event_to_ctx()
which will reset all the time stamp, resulting in a subsequent
update_event_times() to overwrite the total_time_* fields with smaller
values.

The problem is of course that exec() plays tricks with what is

Fix this confusion by passing along vma->vm_mm instead of relying on

Currently, bpf programs cannot be attached to sys_enter_* and sys_exit_*
style tracepoints. The iovisor/bcc issue #748
(https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/issues/748) documents this issue.
For example, if you try to attach a bpf program to tracepoints
syscalls/sys_enter_newfstat, you will get the following error:
# ./tools/trace.py t:syscalls:sys_enter_newfstat
Ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF): Invalid argument
Failed to attach BPF to tracepoint
The main reason is that syscalls/sys_enter_* and syscalls/sys_exit_*
tracepoints are treated differently from other tracepoints and there
is no bpf hook to it.
This patch adds bpf support for these syscalls tracepoints by
. permitting bpf attachment in ioctl PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF
. calling bpf programs in perf_syscall_enter and perf_syscall_exit
The legality of bpf program ctx access is also checked.
Function trace_event_get_offsets returns correct max offset for each
specific syscall tracepoint, which is compared against the maximum offset
access in bpf program.

'perf cqm' never worked due to the incompatibility between perf
infrastructure and cqm hardware support. The hardware uses RMIDs to
track the llc occupancy of tasks and these RMIDs are per package. This
makes monitoring a hierarchy like cgroup along with monitoring of tasks
separately difficult and several patches sent to lkml to fix them were
NACKed. Further more, the following issues in the current perf cqm make
it almost unusable:
1. No support to monitor the same group of tasks for which we do
allocation using resctrl.
2. It gives random and inaccurate data (mostly 0s) once we run out
of RMIDs due to issues in Recycling.
3. Recycling results in inaccuracy of data because we cannot
guarantee that the RMID was stolen from a task when it was not
pulling data into cache or even when it pulled the least data. Also
for monitoring llc_occupancy, if we stop using an RMID_x and then
start using an RMID_y after we reclaim an RMID from an other event,
we miss accounting all the occupancy that was tagged to RMID_x at a
later perf_count.
2. Recycling code makes the monitoring code complex including
scheduling because the event can lose RMID any time. Since MBM
counters count bandwidth for a period of time by taking snap shot of
total bytes at two different times, recycling complicates the way we
count MBM in a hierarchy. Also we need a spin lock while we do the
processing to account for MBM counter overflow. We also currently
use a spin lock in scheduling to prevent the RMID from being taken
away.
4. Lack of support when we run different kind of event like task,
system-wide and cgroup events together. Data mostly prints 0s. This
is also because we can have only one RMID tied to a cpu as defined
by the cqm hardware but a perf can at the same time tie multiple
events during one sched_in.
5. No support of monitoring a group of tasks. There is partial support
for cgroup but it does not work once there is a hierarchy of cgroups
or if we want to monitor a task in a cgroup and the cgroup itself.
6. No support for monitoring tasks for the lifetime without perf
overhead.
7. It reported the aggregate cache occupancy or memory bandwidth over
all sockets. But most cloud and VMM based use cases want to know the
individual per-socket usage.

This patch implements cgroup v2 thread support. The goal of the
thread mode is supporting hierarchical accounting and control at
thread granularity while staying inside the resource domain model
which allows coordination across different resource controllers and
handling of anonymous resource consumptions.
A cgroup is always created as a domain and can be made threaded by
writing to the "cgroup.type" file. When a cgroup becomes threaded, it
becomes a member of a threaded subtree which is anchored at the
closest ancestor which isn't threaded.
The threads of the processes which are in a threaded subtree can be
placed anywhere without being restricted by process granularity or
no-internal-process constraint. Note that the threads aren't allowed
to escape to a different threaded subtree. To be used inside a
threaded subtree, a controller should explicitly support threaded mode
and be able to handle internal competition in the way which is
appropriate for the resource.
The root of a threaded subtree, the nearest ancestor which isn't
threaded, is called the threaded domain and serves as the resource
domain for the whole subtree. This is the last cgroup where domain
controllers are operational and where all the domain-level resource
consumptions in the subtree are accounted. This allows threaded
controllers to operate at thread granularity when requested while
staying inside the scope of system-level resource distribution.
As the root cgroup is exempt from the no-internal-process constraint,
it can serve as both a threaded domain and a parent to normal cgroups,
so, unlike non-root cgroups, the root cgroup can have both domain and
threaded children.
Internally, in a threaded subtree, each css_set has its ->dom_cset
pointing to a matching css_set which belongs to the threaded domain.
This ensures that thread root level cgroup_subsys_state for all
threaded controllers are readily accessible for domain-level
operations.
This patch enables threaded mode for the pids and perf_events
controllers. Neither has to worry about domain-level resource
consumptions and it's enough to simply set the flag.
For more details on the interface and behavior of the thread mode,
please refer to the section 2-2-2 in Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt added
by this patch.
v5: - Dropped silly no-op ->dom_cgrp init from cgroup_create().
Spotted by Waiman.
- Documentation updated as suggested by Waiman.
- cgroup.type content slightly reformatted.
- Mark the debug controller threaded.
v4: - Updated to the general idea of marking specific cgroups
domain/threaded as suggested by PeterZ.
v3: - Dropped "join" and always make mixed children join the parent's
threaded subtree.
v2: - After discussions with Waiman, support for mixed thread mode is
added. This should address the issue that Peter pointed out
where any nesting should be avoided for thread subtrees while
coexisting with other domain cgroups.
- Enabling / disabling thread mode now piggy backs on the existing
control mask update mechanism.
- Bug fixes and cleanup.

We're missing ctx lock when iterating children siblings
within the perf_read path for group reading. Following
race and crash can happen:
User space doing read syscall on event group leader:
T1:
perf_read
lock event->ctx->mutex
perf_read_group
lock leader->child_mutex
__perf_read_group_add(child)
list_for_each_entry(sub, &leader->sibling_list, group_entry)
----> sub might be invalid at this point, because it could
get removed via perf_event_exit_task_context in T2
Child exiting and cleaning up its events:
T2:
perf_event_exit_task_context
lock ctx->mutex
list_for_each_entry_safe(child_event, next, &child_ctx->event_list,...
perf_event_exit_event(child)
lock ctx->lock
perf_group_detach(child)
unlock ctx->lock
----> child is removed from sibling_list without any sync
with T1 path above
...
free_event(child)
Before the child is removed from the leader's child_list,
(and thus is omitted from perf_read_group processing), we
need to ensure that perf_read_group touches child's
siblings under its ctx->lock.

The root cause of the bug is that the following commit:
487f05e18a ("perf/core: Optimize event rescheduling on active contexts")
erronously assumed that event's 'pinned' setting determines whether the
event belongs to a pinned group or not, but in fact, it's the group
leader's pinned state that matters.
This was discovered by Vince in the test case described above, where two instruction
counters are grouped, the group leader is pinned, but the other event is not;
in the regressed case the counters were off by 33% (the difference between events'
periods), but should be the same within the error margin.
Fix the problem by looking at the group leader's pinning.

Pull SMP hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update is primarily a cleanup of the CPU hotplug locking code.
The hotplug locking mechanism is an open coded RWSEM, which allows
recursive locking. The main problem with that is the recursive nature
as it evades the full lockdep coverage and hides potential deadlocks.
The rework replaces the open coded RWSEM with a percpu RWSEM and
establishes full lockdep coverage that way.
The bulk of the changes fix up recursive locking issues and address
the now fully reported potential deadlocks all over the place. Some of
these deadlocks have been observed in the RT tree, but on mainline the
probability was low enough to hide them away."

If the event for which an AUX area is about to be allocated, does
not support setting up an AUX area, rb_alloc_aux() return -ENOTSUPP.
This error condition is being returned unfiltered to the user space,
and, for example, the perf tools fails with:
failed to mmap with 524 (INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(524, 0x3fff497a1c8, 512)=22)
This error can be easily seen with "perf record -m 128,256 -e cpu-clock".
The 524 error code maps to -ENOTSUPP (in rb_alloc_aux()). The -ENOTSUPP
error code shall be only used within the kernel. So the correct error
code would then be -EOPNOTSUPP.
With this commit, the perf tool then reports:
failed to mmap with 95 (Operation not supported)
which is more clear.

Andi was asking about PERF_FORMAT_GROUP vs inherited events, which led
to the discovery of a bug from commit:
3dab77fb1b ("perf: Rework/fix the whole read vs group stuff")
- PERF_SAMPLE_GROUP = 1U << 4,
+ PERF_SAMPLE_READ = 1U << 4,
- if (attr->inherit && (attr->sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_GROUP))
+ if (attr->inherit && (attr->read_format & PERF_FORMAT_GROUP))
is a clear fail :/
While this changes user visible behaviour; it was previously possible
to create an inherited event with PERF_SAMPLE_READ; this is deemed
acceptible because its results were always incorrect.

perf_event types, including HW_CACHE, RAW, and dynamic pmu events.
Only tracepoint/kprobe events are treated differently which require
BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT/BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE program types accordingly.
Also add support for reading all event counters using

perf, tracing, kprobes and jump_labels have a gazillion of ways to create
dependency lock chains. Some of those involve nested invocations of
get_online_cpus().
The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem requires to avoid
such nested calls. sys_perf_event_open() protects most of the syscall logic
against cpu hotplug. This causes nested calls and lock inversions versus
ftrace and kprobes in various interesting ways.
It's impossible to move the hotplug locking to the outer end of all call
chains in the involved facilities, so the hotplug protection in
sys_perf_event_open() needs to be solved differently.
Introduce 'pmus_mutex' which protects a perf private online cpumask. This
mutex is taken when the mask is updated in the cpu hotplug callbacks and
can be taken in sys_perf_event_open() to protect the swhash setup/teardown
code and when the final judgement about a valid event has to be made.

Perf can generate and record a user callchain in response to a synchronous
request, such as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS),
then we can end up walking the user stack (and dereferencing/saving whatever we
find there) without the protections usually afforded by checks such as
access_ok.
Rather than play whack-a-mole with each architecture's stack unwinding
implementation, fix the root of the problem by ensuring that we force USER_DS
when invoking perf_callchain_user from the perf core.
