As Miklos reported and suggested:
"This pattern repeats two times in trace_uprobe.c and in
kernel/events/core.c as well:
ret = kern_path(filename, LOOKUP_FOLLOW, &path);
if (ret)
goto fail_address_parse;
inode = igrab(d_inode(path.dentry));
path_put(&path);
And it's wrong. You can only hold a reference to the inode if you
have an active ref to the superblock as well (which is normally
through path.mnt) or holding s_umount.
This way unmounting the containing filesystem while the tracepoint is
active will give you the "VFS: Busy inodes after unmount..." message
and a crash when the inode is finally put.
Solution: store path instead of inode."
This patch fixes the issue in kernel/event/core.c.

When hw and sw events are mixed in the same group, they are all attached
to the hw perf_event_context. This sometimes requires moving group of
perf_event to a different context.
We found a bug in how the kernel handles this, for example if we do:
perf stat -e '{faults,ref-cycles,faults}' -I 1000
1.005591180 1,297 faults
1.005591180 457,476,576 ref-cycles
1.005591180 <not supported> faults
First, sw event "faults" is attached to the sw context, and becomes the
group leader. Then, hw event "ref-cycles" is attached, so both events
are moved to the hw context. Last, another sw "faults" tries to attach,
but it fails because of mismatch between the new target ctx (from sw
pmu) and the group_leader's ctx (hw context, same as ref-cycles).
The broken condition is:
group_leader is sw event;
group_leader is on hw context;
add a sw event to the group.
Fix this scenario by checking group_leader's context (instead of just
event type). If group_leader is on hw context, use the ->pmu of this
context to look up context for the new event.

The syzbot hit KASAN bug in perf_callchain_store having the entry stored
behind the allocated bounds [1].
We miss the sample_max_stack check for the initial event that allocates
callchain buffers. This missing check allows to create an event with
sample_max_stack value bigger than the global sysctl maximum:
# sysctl -a | grep perf_event_max_stack
kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127
# perf record -vv -C 1 -e cycles/max-stack=256/ kill
...
perf_event_attr:
size 112
...
sample_max_stack 256
------------------------------------------------------------
sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 4
Note the '-C 1', which forces perf record to create just single event.
Otherwise it opens event for every cpu, then the sample_max_stack check
fails on the second event and all's fine.
The fix is to run the sample_max_stack check also for the first event
with callchains.

This is a cosmetic patch that deals with the address filter structure's
ambiguous fields 'filter' and 'range'. The former stands to mean that the
filter's *action* should be to filter the traces to its address range if
it's set or stop tracing if it's unset. This is confusing and hard on the
eyes, so this patch replaces it with 'action' enum. The 'range' field is
completely redundant (meaning that the filter is an address range as
opposed to a single address trigger), as we can use zero size to mean the
same thing.

When a perf_event is attached to parent cgroup, it should count events
for all children cgroups:
parent_group <---- perf_event
\
- child_group <---- process(es)
However, in our tests, we found this perf_event cannot report reliable
results. Here is an example case:
# create cgroups
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c
# start perf for parent group
perf stat -e instructions -G "p"
# on another console, run test process in child cgroup:
stressapptest -s 2 -M 1000 & echo $! > /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c/cgroup.procs
# after the test process is done, stop perf in the first console shows
<not counted> instructions p
The instruction should not be "not counted" as the process runs in the
child cgroup.
We found this is because perf_event->cgrp and cpuctx->cgrp are not
identical, thus perf_event->cgrp are not updated properly.
This patch fixes this by updating perf_cgroup properly for ancestor
cgroup(s).

When perf_group_dettach() is called on a group leader, it updates each
sibling's group_leader field to point to that sibling, effectively
upgrading each siblnig to a group leader. After perf_group_detach has
completed, the caller may free the leader event.
We only remove siblings from the group leader's sibling_list when the
leader has a non-empty group_node. This was fine prior to commit:
8343aae661 ("perf/core: Remove perf_event::group_entry")
... as the sibling's sibling_list would be empty. However, now that we
use the sibling_list field as both the list head and the list entry,
this leaves each sibling with a non-empty sibling list, including the
stale leader event.
If perf_group_detach() is subsequently called on a sibling, it will
appear to be a group leader, and we'll walk the sibling_list,
potentially dereferencing these stale events. In 0day testing, this has
been observed to result in kernel panics.
Let's avoid this by always removing siblings from the sibling list when
we promote them to leaders.

Problem and motivation: Once a breakpoint perf event (PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT)
is created, there is no flexibility to change the breakpoint type
(bp_type), breakpoint address (bp_addr), or breakpoint length (bp_len). The
only option is to close the perf event and configure a new breakpoint
event. This inflexibility has a significant performance overhead. For
example, sampling-based, lightweight performance profilers (and also
concurrency bug detection tools), monitor different addresses for a short
duration using PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT and change the address (bp_addr) to
another address or change the kind of breakpoint (bp_type) from "write" to
a "read" or vice-versa or change the length (bp_len) of the address being
monitored. The cost of these modifications is prohibitive since it involves
unmapping the circular buffer associated with the perf event, closing the
perf event, opening another perf event and mmaping another circular buffer.
Solution: The new ioctl flag for perf events,
PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES, introduced in this patch takes a pointer
to a struct perf_event_attr as an argument to update an old breakpoint
event with new address, type, and size. This facility allows retaining a
previous mmaped perf events ring buffer and avoids having to close and
reopen another perf event.
This patch supports only changing PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event type; future
implementations can extend this feature. The patch replicates some of its
functionality of modify_user_hw_breakpoint() in
kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c. modify_user_hw_breakpoint cannot be called
directly since perf_event_ctx_lock() is already held in _perf_ioctl().
Evidence: Experiments show that the baseline (not able to modify an already
created breakpoint) costs an order of magnitude (~10x) more than the
suggested optimization (having the ability to dynamically modifying a
configured breakpoint via ioctl). When the breakpoints typically do not
trap, the speedup due to the suggested optimization is ~10x; even when the
breakpoints always trap, the speedup is ~4x due to the suggested
optimization.
Testing: tests posted at
https://github.com/linux-contrib/perf_event_modify_bp demonstrate the
performance significance of this patch. Tests also check the functional
correctness of the patch.

And rename it to modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check().
We are about to use modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check() for user space
breakpoints modification, we must be very strict to check only the
fields we can change have changed. As Peter explained:
"Suppose someone does:
attr = malloc(sizeof(*attr)); // uninitialized memory
attr->type = BP;
attr->bp_addr = new_addr;
attr->bp_type = bp_type;
attr->bp_len = bp_len;
ioctl(fd, PERF_IOC_MOD_ATTR, &attr);
And feeds absolute shite for the rest of the fields.
Then we later want to extend IOC_MOD_ATTR to allow changing
attr::sample_type but we can't, because that would break the
above application."
I'm making this check optional because we already export
modify_user_hw_breakpoint() and with this check we could
break existing users.

do_signal+0x144/0x4f8
do_notify_resume+0x148/0x1e8
work_pending+0x8/0x14
which asserts that we only call pmu::read() on ACTIVE events.
The above callchain does:
perf_event_exit_task()
perf_event_exit_task_context()
task_ctx_sched_out() // INACTIVE
perf_event_exit_event()
perf_event_set_state(EXIT) // EXIT
sync_child_event()
perf_event_read_event()
perf_output_read()
perf_output_read_group()
leader->pmu->read()
Which results in doing a pmu::read() on an !ACTIVE event.
I _think_ this is 'new' since we added attr.inherit_stat, which added
the perf_event_read_event() to the exit path, without that
perf_event_read_output() would only trigger from samples and for
@event to trigger a sample, it's leader _must_ be ACTIVE too.
Still, adding this check makes it consistent with the @sub case for
the siblings.

In ctx_resched(), EVENT_FLEXIBLE should be sched_out when EVENT_PINNED is
added. However, ctx_resched() calculates ctx_event_type before checking
this condition. As a result, pinned events will NOT get higher priority
than flexible events.
The following shows this issue on an Intel CPU (where ref-cycles can
only use one hardware counter).
1. First start:
perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles -I 1000
2. Then, in the second console, run:
perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles:D -I 1000
The second perf uses pinned events, which is expected to have higher
priority. However, because it failed in ctx_resched(). It is never
run.
This patch fixes this by calculating ctx_event_type after re-evaluating
event_type.
