[PATCH v2 00/10] riscv: Allow userspace to directly access perf counters

[PATCH v2 00/10] riscv: Allow userspace to directly access perf counters

[Alexandre Ghiti]

riscv used to allow direct access to cycle/time/instret counters,
bypassing the perf framework, this patchset intends to allow the user to
mmap any counter when accessed through perf. But we can't break the
existing behaviour so we introduce a sysctl perf_user_access like arm64
does, which defaults to the legacy mode described above.

*Note* that there are still ongoing discussions around which mode should
be the default mode with distro people.

base-commit-tag: v6.3

Changes in v2:
- Split into smaller patches, way better!
- Add RB from Conor
- Simplify the way we checked riscv architecture
- Fix race mmap and other thread running on other cpus
- Use hwc when available
- Set all userspace access flags in event_init, too cumbersome to handle sysctl changes
- Fix arch_perf_update_userpage for pmu other than riscv-pmu by renaming pmu driver
- Fixed kernel test robot build error
- Fixed documentation (Andrew and Bagas)
- perf testsuite passes mmap tests in all 3 modes

The comment was correct until commit c719f56092ad ("perf: Fix and clean
up initialization of pmu::event_idx"). I'm not sure that warrants a fixes
tag, but maybe a reference in the commit message.

You're right, I'll add a reference, I don't think it deserves a 
backport, that's just a comment.

[PATCH v2 02/10] include: riscv: Fix wrong include guard in riscv_pmu.h

[Alexandre Ghiti]

The current include guard prevents the inclusion of asm/perf_event.h
which uses the same include guard: fix the one in riscv_pmu.h so that it
matches the file name.

[PATCH v2 03/10] riscv: Make legacy counter enum match the HW numbering

[Alexandre Ghiti]

RISCV_PMU_LEGACY_INSTRET used to be set to 1 whereas the offset of this
hardware counter from CSR_CYCLE is actually 2: make this offset match the
real hw offset so that we can directly expose those values to userspace.

I guess this doesn't hurt, since these are just indices internal to this
driver, but it's a bit odd to also have a RISCV_PMU_LEGACY_TIME, when
the driver is only for cycle and instret, as its Kconfig help text says.

I'd say that it is safe to do so and I understand your point, @Atish WDYT?

Actually, the argument in perf_pmu_register is about the pmu instance
name rather than the driver name.
Both legacy & SBI PMU drivers are just ways to access the "cpu" pmu instance.

In future we may have separate drivers for counter delegation
extensions that won't use the SBI PMU extension
at all for supported hardware. However, the PMU would still be cpu pmu.

There will be different SoC PMU drivers which will have different
names because it will represent SoC PMU instead of cpu pmu.

[PATCH v2 05/10] riscv: Prepare for user-space perf event mmap support

[Alexandre Ghiti]

Provide all the necessary bits in the generic riscv pmu driver to be
able to mmap perf events in userspace: the heavy lifting lies in the
driver backend, namely the legacy and sbi implementations.

Note that arch_perf_update_userpage is almost a copy of arm64 code.

The counter width is 64 for cycle & instret. Other hpmcounter can have
different width.
This information should retrieved from counter info.

Yes, I guess this comment is not right in this context, so I'll remove 
the comment entirely as it does bring much.

Thanks!

[PATCH v2 07/10] drivers: perf: Implement perf event mmap support in the SBI backend

[Alexandre Ghiti]

We used to unconditionnally expose the cycle and instret csrs to
userspace, which gives rise to security concerns.

So now we only allow access to hw counters from userspace through the perf
framework which will handle context switches, per-task events...etc. But
as we cannot break userspace, we give the user the choice to go back to
the previous behaviour by setting the sysctl perf_user_access.

Can avoid this pair of #ifdef/#endif's by just declaring rvpmu inside the
if block below where it's needed. Or even just using to_riscv_pmu()
directly in place of rvpmu.

Can leave the initialization to 64 above the #ifdef CONFIG_RISCV_PMU_SBI
as is and drop the else.

I'm still not in favor of this. Hopefully the distro discussions result in
it being changed.

Instead of passing prev shouldn't we pass NULL, as it's not used?

I did not see any feedback from distro guys. I talked to David (fedora
maintainer) and he is even okay with
SYSCTL_NO_USER_ACCESS :). I would love to hear back from others (cc'd
a few distro folks to this thread).

In future we will have to support scenarios for confidential compute. 
Here we have to avoid timing attacks against virtual machines. If access 
to the cycle register is critical, this implies that hiding it behind a 
sysctl setting is not good enough.

If we keep this sysctl based access at all, it should be behind a 
Kconfig setting that is disabled by default and were the help text 
clearly indicates the security implications.

For virtualization, all counter usages are virtualized by KVM. Thus,
the hypervisor
remains in complete control.

That would require rebuild/reinstallation of the kernel for users with
root privileges
to enable these. Distros can disable the access by setting
the default to PERF_EVENT_FLAG_NO_USER_ACCESS or PERF_EVENT_FLAG_USER_ACCESS
based on use case. But root privileges users should have a way to opt in.

As per my understanding, that's the intention behind x86/ARM64
implementation as well.

All modes can access the time CSR so I'm not sure if it should be pointed
out here as if it's an exception. Maybe we shouldn't point it out at all
or we should point it out for all three?

Valid point. Thanks Drew.
In the future, we probably want to support prctl
(PR_SET_TSC/SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT) to disable even
time CSR access. I don't think there is any use case for it right now.

Ok I removed the reference to the time CSR for the legacy mode and 
instead added a note stating that this CSR is always accessible whatever 
the mode.

to run on this architecture.

Ok, I'll then wait for it to happen to consider merging the userland

Thanks for your review Andrew, as usual, always helpful.

And sorry for the delay!

BTW Alex, in the future it'd be great if you could pick a more recent

Conor.

It looks like there's a handful of outstanding review comments, so I'm 
going to mark this as changes requested in patchwork -- sorry if I 
missed a v3.
