Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Various minor updates to the LSM Rust bindings
Changes include marking trivial Rust bindings as inlines and comment
tweaks to better reflect the LSM hooks.
- Add LSM/SELinux access controls to io_uring_allowed()
Similar to the io_uring_disabled sysctl, add a LSM hook to
io_uring_allowed() to enable LSMs a simple way to enforce security
policy on the use of io_uring. This pull request includes SELinux
support for this new control using the io_uring/allowed permission.
- Remove an unused parameter from the security_perf_event_open() hook
The perf_event_attr struct parameter was not used by any currently
supported LSMs, remove it from the hook.
- Add an explicit MAINTAINERS entry for the credentials code
We've seen problems in the past where patches to the credentials code
sent by non-maintainers would often languish on the lists for
multiple months as there was no one explicitly tasked with the
responsibility of reviewing and/or merging credentials related code.
Considering that most of the code under security/ has a vested
interest in ensuring that the credentials code is well maintained,
I'm volunteering to look after the credentials code and Serge Hallyn
has also volunteered to step up as an official reviewer. I posted the
MAINTAINERS update as a RFC to LKML in hopes that someone else would
jump up with an "I'll do it!", but beyond Serge it was all crickets.
- Update Stephen Smalley's old email address to prevent confusion
This includes a corresponding update to the mailmap file.

Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"A treewide hrtimer timer cleanup
hrtimers are initialized with hrtimer_init() and a subsequent store to
the callback pointer. This turned out to be suboptimal for the
upcoming Rust integration and is obviously a silly implementation to
begin with.
This cleanup replaces the hrtimer_init(T); T->function = cb; sequence
with hrtimer_setup(T, cb);
The conversion was done with Coccinelle and a few manual fixups.
Once the conversion has completely landed in mainline, hrtimer_init()
will be removed and the hrtimer::function becomes a private member"

The LBR call stack data has to be saved/restored during context switch
to fix the shorter LBRs call stacks issue in the system-wide mode.
Allocate PMU specific data and attach them to the corresponding
task_struct during LBR call stack monitoring.
When a LBR call stack event is accounted, the perf_ctx_data for the
related tasks will be allocated/attached by attach_perf_ctx_data().
When a LBR call stack event is unaccounted, the perf_ctx_data for
related tasks will be detached/freed by detach_perf_ctx_data().
The LBR call stack event could be a per-task event or a system-wide
event.
- For a per-task event, perf only allocates the perf_ctx_data for the
current task. If the allocation fails, perf will error out.
- For a system-wide event, perf has to allocate the perf_ctx_data for
both the existing tasks and the upcoming tasks.
The allocation for the existing tasks is done in perf_event_alloc().
If any allocation fails, perf will error out.
The allocation for the new tasks will be done in perf_event_fork().
A global reader/writer semaphore, global_ctx_data_rwsem, is added to
address the global race.
- The perf_ctx_data only be freed by the last LBR call stack event.
The number of the per-task events is tracked by refcount of each task.
Since the system-wide events impact all tasks, it's not practical to
go through the whole task list to update the refcount for each
system-wide event. The number of system-wide events is tracked by a
global variable global_ctx_data_ref.

Some PMU specific data has to be saved/restored during context switch,
e.g. LBR call stack data. Currently, the data is saved in event context
structure, but only for per-process event. For system-wide event,
because of missing the LBR call stack data after context switch, LBR
callstacks are always shorter in comparison to per-process mode.
For example,
Per-process mode:
$perf record --call-graph lbr -- taskset -c 0 ./tchain_edit
- 99.90% 99.86% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f3
99.86% _start
__libc_start_main
generic_start_main
main
f1
- f2
f3
System-wide mode:
$perf record --call-graph lbr -a -- taskset -c 0 ./tchain_edit
- 99.88% 99.82% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f3
- 62.02% main
f1
f2
f3
- 28.83% f1
- f2
f3
- 28.83% f1
- f2
f3
- 8.88% generic_start_main
main

f2
f3
It isn't practical to simply allocate the data for system-wide event in
CPU context structure for all tasks. We have no idea which CPU a task
will be scheduled to. The duplicated LBR data has to be maintained on
every CPU context structure. That's a huge waste. Otherwise, the LBR
data still lost if the task is scheduled to another CPU.
Save the pmu specific data in task_struct. The size of pmu specific data
is 788 bytes for LBR call stack. Usually, the overall amount of threads
doesn't exceed a few thousands. For 10K threads, keeping LBR data would
consume additional ~8MB. The additional space will only be allocated
during LBR call stack monitoring. It will be released when the
monitoring is finished.
Furthermore, moving task_ctx_data from perf_event_context to task_struct
can reduce complexity and make things clearer. E.g. perf doesn't need to
swap task_ctx_data on optimized context switch path.
This patch set is just the first step. There could be other
optimization/extension on top of this patch set. E.g. for cgroup
profiling, perf just needs to save/store the LBR call stack information
for tasks in specific cgroup. That could reduce the additional space.
Also, the LBR call stack can be available for software events, or allow
even debugging use cases, like LBRs on crash later.
Because of the alignment requirement of Intel Arch LBR, the Kmem cache
is used to allocate the PMU specific data. It's required when child task
allocates the space. Save it in struct perf_ctx_data.
The refcount in struct perf_ctx_data is used to track the users of pmu
specific data.

Pinned performance events can enter an error state when they fail to be
scheduled in the context due to a failed constraint or some other conflict
or condition.
In error state these events won't generate any samples anymore and are
silently ignored until they are recovered by PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE,
or the condition can also change so that they can be scheduled in.
Tooling should be allowed to know about the state change, but
currently there's no mechanism to notify tooling when events enter
an error state.
One way to do this is to issue a POLLHUP event to poll(2) to handle this.
Reading events in an error state would return 0 (EOF) and it matches to
the behavior of POLLHUP according to the man page.
Tooling should remove the fd of the event from pollfd after getting
POLLHUP, otherwise it'll be returned repeatedly.

'worst' case scenario is that we instantly re-gain the mutex without
perf_mmap_close() getting it. So might as well make that the normal

Currently, __reserve_bp_slot() returns -ENOSPC for unsupported
breakpoint types on the architecture. For example, powerpc
does not support hardware instruction breakpoints. This causes
the perf_skip BPF selftest to fail, as neither ENOENT nor
EOPNOTSUPP is returned by perf_event_open for unsupported
breakpoint types. As a result, the test that should be skipped
for this arch is not correctly identified.
To resolve this, hw_breakpoint_event_init() should exit early by
checking for unsupported breakpoint types using
hw_breakpoint_slots_cached() and return the appropriate error
(-EOPNOTSUPP).

There is a fairly obvious race between perf_init_event() doing
idr_find() and perf_pmu_register() doing idr_alloc() with an
incompletely initialized PMU pointer.
Avoid by doing idr_alloc() on a NULL pointer to register the id, and
swizzling the real struct pmu pointer at the end using idr_replace().
Also making sure to not set struct pmu members after publishing
the struct pmu, duh.
[ introduce idr_cmpxchg() in order to better handle the idr_replace()
error case -- if it were to return an unexpected pointer, it will
already have replaced the value and there is no going back. ]

hprobe_expire() is used to atomically switch pending uretprobe instance
(struct return_instance) from being SRCU protected to be refcounted.
This can be done from background timer thread, or synchronously within
current thread when task is forked.
In the former case, return_instance has to be protected through RCU read
lock, and that's what hprobe_expire() used to check with
lockdep_assert(rcu_read_lock_held()).
But in the latter case (hprobe_expire() called from dup_utask()) there
is no RCU lock being held, and it's both unnecessary and incovenient.
Inconvenient due to the intervening memory allocations inside
dup_return_instance()'s loop. Unnecessary because dup_utask() is called
synchronously in current thread, and no uretprobe can run at that point,
so return_instance can't be freed either.
So drop rcu_read_lock_held() condition, and expand corresponding comment
to explain necessary lifetime guarantees. lockdep_assert()-detected
issue is a false positive.

The cause is that zero pfn is set to the PTE without increasing the RSS
count in mfill_atomic_pte_zeropage() and the refcount of zero folio does
not increase accordingly. Then, the operation on the same pfn is performed
in uprobe_write_opcode()->__replace_page() to unconditional decrease the
RSS count and old_folio's refcount.
Therefore, two bugs are introduced:
1. The RSS count is incorrect, when process exit, the check_mm() report
error "Bad rss-count".
2. The reserved folio (zero folio) is freed when folio->refcount is zero,
then free_pages_prepare->free_page_is_bad() report error
"Bad page state".
There is more, the following warning could also theoretically be triggered:
__replace_page()
-> ...
-> folio_remove_rmap_pte()
-> VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(is_zero_folio(folio), folio)
Considering that uprobe hit on the zero folio is a very rare case, just
reject zero old folio immediately after get_user_page_vma_remote().

Syskaller triggers a warning due to prev_epc->pmu != next_epc->pmu in
perf_event_swap_task_ctx_data(). vmcore shows that two lists have the same
perf_event_pmu_context, but not in the same order.
The problem is that the order of pmu_ctx_list for the parent is impacted by
the time when an event/PMU is added. While the order for a child is
impacted by the event order in the pinned_groups and flexible_groups. So
the order of pmu_ctx_list in the parent and child may be different.
To fix this problem, insert the perf_event_pmu_context to its proper place
after iteration of the pmu_ctx_list.
The follow testcase can trigger above warning:
# perf record -e cycles --call-graph lbr -- taskset -c 3 ./a.out &
# perf stat -e cpu-clock,cs -p xxx // xxx is the pid of a.out
test.c
void main() {
int count = 0;
pid_t pid;
printf("%d running\n", getpid());
sleep(30);
printf("running\n");
pid = fork();
if (pid == -1) {
printf("fork error\n");
return;
}
if (pid == 0) {
while (1) {
count++;
}
} else {
while (1) {
count++;
}
}
}
The testcase first opens an LBR event, so it will allocate task_ctx_data,
and then open tracepoint and software events, so the parent context will
have 3 different perf_event_pmu_contexts. On inheritance, child ctx will
insert the perf_event_pmu_context in another order and the warning will
trigger.

perf_cpu_time_max_percent into kernel/events/core.c
- perf_event_max_{stack,context_per_stack} into
kernel/events/callchain.c
Make static variables and functions that are fully contained in core.c
and callchain.cand remove them from include/linux/perf_event.h.
Additionally six_hundred_forty_kb is moved to callchain.c.
Two new sysctl tables are added ({callchain,events_core}_sysctl_table)
with their respective sysctl registration functions.
This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their
respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
kerenel/sysctl.c.

The event may have been updated in the PMU-specific implementation,
e.g., Intel PEBS counters snapshotting. The common code should not
read and overwrite the value.
The PERF_SAMPLE_READ in the data->sample_type can be used to detect
whether the PMU-specific value is available. If yes, avoid the
pmu->read() in the common code. Add a new flag, skip_read, to track the
case.
Factor out a perf_pmu_read() to clean up the code.

If a memory allocation fails during dup_mmap(), the maple tree can be left
in an unsafe state for other iterators besides the exit path. All the
locks are dropped before the exit_mmap() call (in mm/mmap.c), but the
incomplete mm_struct can be reached through (at least) the rmap finding
the vmas which have a pointer back to the mm_struct.
Up to this point, there have been no issues with being able to find an
mm_struct that was only partially initialised. Syzbot was able to make
the incomplete mm_struct fail with recent forking changes, so it has been
proven unsafe to use the mm_struct that hasn't been initialised, as
referenced in the link below.
Although 8ac662f5da ("fork: avoid inappropriate uprobe access to
invalid mm") fixed the uprobe access, it does not completely remove the
race.
This patch sets the MMF_OOM_SKIP to avoid the iteration of the vmas on the
oom side (even though this is extremely unlikely to be selected as an oom
victim in the race window), and sets MMF_UNSTABLE to avoid other potential
users from using a partially initialised mm_struct.
When registering vmas for uprobe, skip the vmas in an mm that is marked
unstable. Modifying a vma in an unstable mm may cause issues if the mm
isn't fully initialised.

We are adjusting struct page to make it smaller, removing unneeded fields
which correctly belong to struct folio.
Two of those fields are page->index and page->mapping. Perf is currently
making use of both of these. This is unnecessary. This patch eliminates
this.
Perf establishes its own internally controlled memory-mapped pages using
vm_ops hooks. The first page in the mapping is the read/write user control
page, and the rest of the mapping consists of read-only pages.
The VMA is backed by kernel memory either from the buddy allocator or
vmalloc depending on configuration. It is intended to be mapped read/write,
but because it has a page_mkwrite() hook, vma_wants_writenotify() indicates
that it should be mapped read-only.
When a write fault occurs, the provided page_mkwrite() hook,
perf_mmap_fault() (doing double duty handing faults as well) uses the
vmf->pgoff field to determine if this is the first page, allowing for the
desired read/write first page, read-only rest mapping.
For this to work the implementation has to carefully work around faulting
logic. When a page is write-faulted, the fault() hook is called first, then
its page_mkwrite() hook is called (to allow for dirty tracking in file
systems).
On fault we set the folio's mapping in perf_mmap_fault(), this is because
when do_page_mkwrite() is subsequently invoked, it treats a missing mapping
as an indicator that the fault should be retried.
We also set the folio's index so, given the folio is being treated as faux
user memory, it correctly references its offset within the VMA.
This explains why the mapping and index fields are used - but it's not
necessary.
We preallocate pages when perf_mmap() is called for the first time via
rb_alloc(), and further allocate auxiliary pages via rb_aux_alloc() as
needed if the mapping requires it.
This allocation is done in the f_ops->mmap() hook provided in perf_mmap(),
and so we can instead simply map all the memory right away here - there's
no point in handling (read) page faults when we don't demand page nor need
to be notified about them (perf does not).
This patch therefore changes this logic to map everything when the mmap()
hook is called, establishing a PFN map. It implements vm_ops->pfn_mkwrite()
to provide the required read/write vs. read-only behaviour, which does not
require the previously implemented workarounds.
While it is not ideal to use a VM_PFNMAP here, doing anything else will
result in the page_mkwrite() hook need to be provided, which requires the
same page->mapping hack this patch seeks to undo.
It will also result in the pages being treated as folios and placed on the
rmap, which really does not make sense for these mappings.
Semantically it makes sense to establish this as some kind of special
mapping, as the pages are managed by perf and are not strictly user pages,
but currently the only means by which we can do so functionally while
maintaining the required R/W and R/O behaviour is a PFN map.
There should be no change to actual functionality as a result of this
change.

Max Makarov reported kernel panic [1] in perf user callchain code.
The reason for that is the race between uprobe_free_utask and bpf
profiler code doing the perf user stack unwind and is triggered
within uprobe_free_utask function:
- after current->utask is freed and
- before current->utask is set to NULL

It can be easily reproduced by running following commands in
separate terminals:
# while :; do bpftrace -e 'uprobe:/bin/ls:_start { printf("hit\n"); }' -c ls; done
# bpftrace -e 'profile:hz:100000 { @[ustack()] = count(); }'
Fixing this by making sure current->utask pointer is set to NULL
before we start to release the utask object.
