From 8b6a3fe8fab97716990a3abde1a01fb5a34552a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2016 10:07:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: Use this_cpu_ptr() when stopping AUX events When tearing down an AUX buf for an event via perf_mmap_close(), __perf_event_output_stop() is called on the event's CPU to ensure that trace generation is halted before the process of unmapping and freeing the buffer pages begins. The callback is performed via cpu_function_call(), which ensures that it runs with interrupts disabled and is therefore not preemptible. Unfortunately, the current code grabs the per-cpu context pointer using get_cpu_ptr(), which unnecessarily disables preemption and doesn't pair the call with put_cpu_ptr(), leading to a preempt_count() imbalance and a BUG when freeing the AUX buffer later on: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2249 at kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:539 __rb_free_aux+0x10c/0x120 Modules linked in: [...] Call Trace: [] dump_stack+0x4f/0x72 [] __warn+0xc6/0xe0 [] warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x20 [] __rb_free_aux+0x10c/0x120 [] rb_free_aux+0x13/0x20 [] perf_mmap_close+0x29e/0x2f0 [] ? perf_iterate_ctx+0xe0/0xe0 [] remove_vma+0x25/0x60 [] exit_mmap+0x106/0x140 [] mmput+0x1c/0xd0 [] do_exit+0x253/0xbf0 [] do_group_exit+0x3e/0xb0 [] get_signal+0x249/0x640 [] do_signal+0x23/0x640 [] ? _raw_write_unlock_irq+0x12/0x30 [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x9/0x10 [] ? __schedule+0x2c6/0x710 [] exit_to_usermode_loop+0x74/0x90 [] prepare_exit_to_usermode+0x26/0x30 [] retint_user+0x8/0x10 This patch uses this_cpu_ptr() instead of get_cpu_ptr(), since preemption is already disabled by the caller.
