    Subject[PATCH 3.11 123/131] perf/x86: Fix event scheduling
    Date
    3.11.10.6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

    commit 26e61e8939b1fe8729572dabe9a9e97d930dd4f6 upstream.

    Vince "Super Tester" Weaver reported a new round of syscall fuzzing (Trinity) failures,
    with perf WARN_ON()s triggering. He also provided traces of the failures.

    This is I think the relevant bit:

    > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926153: x86_pmu_disable: x86_pmu_disable

    > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926160: x86_pmu_state: n_events: 1, n_added: 0, n_txn: 1

    > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926163: x86_pmu_state: }
    > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926166: collect_events: Adding event: 1 (ffff880119ec8800)

    So we add the insn:p event (fd[23]).

    At this point we should have:

    n_events = 2, n_added = 1, n_txn = 1

    > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926170: collect_events: Adding event: 0 (ffff8800c9e01800)
    > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926172: collect_events: Adding event: 4 (ffff8800cbab2c00)

    We try and add the {BP,cycles,br_insn} group (fd[3], fd[4], fd[15]).
    These events are 0:cycles and 4:br_insn, the BP event isn't x86_pmu so
    that's not visible.

    group_sched_in()
    pmu->start_txn() /* nop - BP pmu */
    event_sched_in()
    event->pmu->add()

    So here we should end up with:

    0: n_events = 3, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2
    4: n_events = 4, n_added = 3, n_txn = 3

    But seeing the below state on x86_pmu_enable(), the must have failed,
    because the 0 and 4 events aren't there anymore.

    Looking at group_sched_in(), since the BP is the leader, its
    event_sched_in() must have succeeded, for otherwise we would not have
    seen the sibling adds.

    But since neither 0 or 4 are in the below state; their event_sched_in()
    must have failed; but I don't see why, the complete state: 0,0,1:p,4
    fits perfectly fine on a core2.

    However, since we try and schedule 4 it means the 0 event must have
    succeeded! Therefore the 4 event must have failed, its failure will
    have put group_sched_in() into the fail path, which will call:

    event_sched_out()
    event->pmu->del()

    on 0 and the BP event.

    Now x86_pmu_del() will reduce n_events; but it will not reduce n_added;
    giving what we see below:

    n_event = 2, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2

    > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926188: x86_pmu_state: 1->0 tag: 1 config: 1 (ffff880119ec8800)
    > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926188: x86_pmu_state: }
    > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926190: x86_pmu_enable: S0: hwc->idx: 33, hwc->last_cpu: 0, hwc->last_tag: 1 hwc->state: 0

    So the problem is that x86_pmu_del(), when called from a
    group_sched_in() that fails (for whatever reason), and without x86_pmu
    TXN support (because the leader is !x86_pmu), will corrupt the n_added
    state.
