Marco reported:
Due to the implementation of how SIGTRAP are delivered if
perf_event_attr::sigtrap is set, we've noticed 3 issues:
1. Missing SIGTRAP due to a race with event_sched_out() (more
details below).
2. Hardware PMU events being disabled due to returning 1 from
perf_event_overflow(). The only way to re-enable the event is
for user space to first "properly" disable the event and then
re-enable it.
3. The inability to automatically disable an event after a
specified number of overflows via PERF_EVENT_IOC_REFRESH.
The worst of the 3 issues is problem (1), which occurs when a
pending_disable is "consumed" by a racing event_sched_out(), observed
as follows:
CPU0 | CPU1
--------------------------------+---------------------------
__perf_event_overflow() |
perf_event_disable_inatomic() |
pending_disable = CPU0 | ...
| _perf_event_enable()
| event_function_call()
| task_function_call()
| /* sends IPI to CPU0 */
<IPI> | ...
__perf_event_enable() +---------------------------
ctx_resched()
task_ctx_sched_out()
ctx_sched_out()
group_sched_out()
event_sched_out()
pending_disable = -1
</IPI>
<IRQ-work>
perf_pending_event()
perf_pending_event_disable()
/* Fails to send SIGTRAP because no pending_disable! */
</IRQ-work>
In the above case, not only is that particular SIGTRAP missed, but also
all future SIGTRAPs because 'event_limit' is not reset back to 1.
To fix, rework pending delivery of SIGTRAP via IRQ-work by introduction
of a separate 'pending_sigtrap', no longer using 'event_limit' and
'pending_disable' for its delivery.
Additionally; and different to Marco's proposed patch:
- recognise that pending_disable effectively duplicates oncpu for
the case where it is set. As such, change the irq_work handler to
use ->oncpu to target the event and use pending_* as boolean toggles.
- observe that SIGTRAP targets the ctx->task, so the context switch
optimization that carries contexts between tasks is invalid. If
the irq_work were delayed enough to hit after a context switch the
SIGTRAP would be delivered to the wrong task.
- observe that if the event gets scheduled out
(rotation/migration/context-switch/...) the irq-work would be
insufficient to deliver the SIGTRAP when the event gets scheduled
back in (the irq-work might still be pending on the old CPU).
Therefore have event_sched_out() convert the pending sigtrap into a
task_work which will deliver the signal at return_to_user.
