arch/powerpc/perf: Check the instruction type before creating sample with perf_mem_data_src

2025-06-04T12:42:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2ffb26afa64261139e608bf087a0c1fe24d76d4d ] perf mem report aborts as below sometimes (during some corner case) in powerpc: # ./perf mem report 1>out *** stack smashing detected ***: terminated Aborted (core dumped) The backtrace is as below: __pthread_kill_implementation () raise () abort () __libc_message __fortify_fail __stack_chk_fail hist_entry.lvl_snprintf __sort__hpp_entry __hist_entry__snprintf hists.fprintf cmd_report cmd_mem Snippet of code which triggers the issue from tools/perf/util/sort.c static int hist_entry__lvl_snprintf(struct hist_entry *he, char *bf, size_t size, unsigned int width) { char out[64]; perf_mem__lvl_scnprintf(out, sizeof(out), he->mem_info); return repsep_snprintf(bf, size, "%-*s", width, out); } The value of "out" is filled from perf_mem_data_src value. Debugging this further showed that for some corner cases, the value of "data_src" was pointing to wrong value. This resulted in bigger size of string and causing stack check fail. The perf mem data source values are captured in the sample via isa207_get_mem_data_src function. The initial check is to fetch the type of sampled instruction. If the type of instruction is not valid (not a load/store instruction), the function returns. Since 'commit e16fd7f2cb1a ("perf: Use sample_flags for data_src")', data_src field is not initialized by the perf_sample_data_init() function. If the PMU driver doesn't set the data_src value to zero if type is not valid, this will result in uninitailised value for data_src. The uninitailised value of data_src resulted in stack check fail followed by abort for "perf mem report". When requesting for data source information in the sample, the instruction type is expected to be load or store instruction. In ISA v3.0, due to hardware limitation, there are corner cases where the instruction type other than load or store is observed. In ISA v3.0 and before values "0" and "7" are considered reserved. In ISA v3.1, value "7" has been used to indicate "larx/stcx". Drop the sample if instruction type has reserved values for this field with a ISA version check. Initialize data_src to zero in isa207_get_mem_data_src if the instruction type is not load/store.

powerpc/hv-gpci: Fix the H_GET_PERF_COUNTER_INFO hcall return value checks

2024-03-26T22:19:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit ad86d7ee43b22aa2ed60fb982ae94b285c1be671 ] Running event hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/ in one of the system throws below error: ---Logs--- # perf list | grep hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=?/[Kernel PMU event] # perf stat -v -e hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/ sleep 2 Using CPUID 00800200 Control descriptor is not initialized Warning: hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/ event is not supported by the kernel. failed to read counter hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/ Performance counter stats for 'system wide': hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/ 2.000700771 seconds time elapsed The above error is because of the hcall failure as required permission "Enable Performance Information Collection" is not set. Based on current code, single_gpci_request function did not check the error type incase hcall fails and by default returns EINVAL. But we can have other reasons for hcall failures like H_AUTHORITY/H_PARAMETER with detail_rc as GEN_BUF_TOO_SMALL, for which we need to act accordingly. Fix this issue by adding new checks in the single_gpci_request and h_gpci_event_init functions. Result after fix patch changes: # perf stat -e hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/ sleep 2 Error: No permission to enable hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/ event.

powerpc/hv-gpci: Add return value check in affinity_domain_via_partition_show function

2024-01-25T23:35:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit 070b71f428facd9130319707db854ed8bd24637a ] To access hv-gpci kernel interface files data, the "Enable Performance Information Collection" option has to be set in hmc. Incase that option is not set and user try to read the interface files, it should give error message as operation not permitted. Result of accessing added interface files with disabled performance collection option: [command]# cat processor_bus_topology cat: processor_bus_topology: Operation not permitted [command]# cat processor_config cat: processor_config: Operation not permitted [command]# cat affinity_domain_via_domain cat: affinity_domain_via_domain: Operation not permitted [command]# cat affinity_domain_via_virtual_processor cat: affinity_domain_via_virtual_processor: Operation not permitted [command]# cat affinity_domain_via_partition Based on above result there is no error message when reading affinity_domain_via_partition file because of missing check for failed hcall. Fix this issue by adding a check in the start of affinity_domain_via_partition_show function, to return error incase hcall fails, with error type other then H_PARAMETER.

powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Update domain value check

Valid domain value is in range 1 to HV_PERF_DOMAIN_MAX. Current code has check for domain value greater than or equal to HV_PERF_DOMAIN_MAX. But the check for domain value 0 is missing.

powerpc/hv_gpci: Add sysfs file inside hv_gpci device to show affinity domain via partition information

2023-08-16T13:54:49+00:00

The hcall H_GET_PERF_COUNTER_INFO with counter request value as AFFINITY_DOMAIN_INFORMATION_BY_PARTITION(0XB1), can be used to get the system affinity domain via partition information. To expose the system affinity domain via partition information, patch adds sysfs file called "affinity_domain_via_partition" to the "/sys/devices/hv_gpci/interface/" of hv_gpci pmu driver. Add new entry for AFFINITY_DOMAIN_VIA_PAR in sysinfo_counter_request array, which points to the counter request value "affinity_domain_via_partition" in hv-gpci.c file. Also add a new function called "affinity_domain_via_partition_result_parse" to parse the hcall result and store it in output buffer. The affinity_domain_via_partition sysfs file is only available for power10 and above platforms. Add a macro called INTERFACE_AFFINITY_DOMAIN_VIA_PAR_ATTR, which points to the index of NULL placeholder, for affinity_domain_via_partition attribute in interface_attrs array. Also updated the value of INTERFACE_NULL_ATTR macro in hv-gpci.c file.
