Currently it's possible for a user to open CHAIN events arbitrarily, which we previously tried to rule out in commit:ca2b497253("arm64: perf: Reject stand-alone CHAIN events for PMUv3") Which allowed the events to be opened, but prevented them from being scheduled by by using an arm_pmu::filter_match hook to reject the relevant events. The CHAIN event filtering in the arm_pmu::filter_match hook was silently removed in commit:bd27568117("perf: Rewrite core context handling") As a result, it's now possible for users to open CHAIN events, and for these to be installed arbitrarily. Fix this by rejecting CHAIN events at creation time. This avoids the creation of events which will never count, and doesn't require using the dynamic filtering. Attempting to open a CHAIN event (0x1e) will now be rejected: | # ./perf stat -e armv8_pmuv3/config=0x1e/ ls | perf | | Performance counter stats for 'ls': | | <not supported> armv8_pmuv3/config=0x1e/ | | 0.002197470 seconds time elapsed | | 0.000000000 seconds user | 0.002294000 seconds sys Other events (e.g. CPU_CYCLES / 0x11) will open as usual: | # ./perf stat -e armv8_pmuv3/config=0x11/ ls | perf | | Performance counter stats for 'ls': | | 2538761 armv8_pmuv3/config=0x11/ | | 0.002227330 seconds time elapsed | | 0.002369000 seconds user | 0.000000000 seconds sys Fixes:bd27568117("perf: Rewrite core context handling") Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@amd.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230216141240.3833272-3-mark.rutland@arm.com Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
