[PATCH v1 1/2] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[PATCH v1 1/2] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they make
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add a '--aslr' option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

When events are not known/handled by the tool they are dropped. This
makes the tool conservative and it should never leak ASLR information,
but it means virtual address remapping is needed for cases like
auxtrace.

[PATCH v1 2/2] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test `inject_aslr.sh` to verify the `perf inject --aslr`
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for `perf record` piped into `perf inject --aslr`.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of `perf report` output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (skipping gracefully if permissions restrict
  recording the kernel map).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

perf test: Add inject ASLR test

Add a new shell test inject_aslr.sh to verify the perf inject --aslr
feature.

Is this hardcoded path safe and portable? If the test is run as root, could a
local user place a malicious executable at /tmp/perf3/perf and escalate
privileges?

Also, won't this break the test in standard CI environments?

Because the script uses set -e, should this also trap EXIT? Without an EXIT
trap, if a command fails and triggers an exit, temp_dir might be leaked.

Should these temporary files be created inside temp_dir instead of directly
in /tmp?

If the test fails and err=1 is set, won't these temporary files be permanently
leaked?

This pattern appears in multiple test functions. Also, in
test_dropped_samples, if the test returns early due to unsupported
--phys-data, these files are also leaked.

Will this parsing work on 32-bit architectures? Kernel space typically resides
at different offsets (such as 0xc0000000 or 0x80000000) on 32-bit platforms,
so hardcoding ^ffff might cause the test to spuriously fail there.

What happens if report1 contains no matching lines?

The second grep -v would receive empty input and exit with a status code of 1.
Since the script uses set -e and doesn't have || true on this pipeline, won't
this cause the script to abort immediately and silently?

Subject: perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

This commit introduces an ASLR tool to perf inject. It allows remapping
virtual memory addresses to prevent leaking ASLR information when sharing
perf.data files. Unhandled events are dropped to remain conservative.

> +{
[ ... ]
> +	if (!hashmap__find(&aslr->remap_addresses, &key, &remap_addr)) {

Will storing and retrieving 64-bit addresses in this hashmap cause truncation
or build failures on 32-bit architectures?

The underlying hashmap API stores long values. On 32-bit systems, long is 32
bits wide, which might truncate the upper 32 bits of the remapped address
during hashmap__add.

Additionally, passing a u64 pointer to hashmap__find triggers
hashmap_cast_ptr(), which contains a static assertion that the value size
equals sizeof(long). Might this result in a build failure when compiling on
32-bit platforms?

[ ... ]

Since machine__findnew_thread() increments the reference count of the
returned thread, could returning from this function without calling
thread__put() leak the thread reference for every processed event?

This pattern appears to be repeated in aslr_tool__process_mmap2,
aslr_tool__process_ksymbol, aslr_tool__process_text_poke, and
aslr_tool__process_sample.

Does this bounds check allow reading past the end of the input event buffer?

The max_i value is calculated as event->header.size / sizeof(__u64).
Since in_array points to event->sample.array[0], which starts after the
8-byte perf_event_header, the array contains max_i - 1 elements.

Should the check be if (*i >= max_i - 1) instead?

Should the switch statement handle other valid context markers like
PERF_CONTEXT_GUEST, PERF_CONTEXT_GUEST_KERNEL, PERF_CONTEXT_GUEST_USER, and
PERF_CONTEXT_USER_DEFERRED?

Falling into the default block here abruptly discards the sample, which might
break profiling workflows involving KVM guests.

Will the integer division truncate the padding bytes if the raw sample size
is not perfectly aligned to an 8-byte boundary?

Because the kernel pads raw sample payloads to an 8-byte boundary, truncation
might cause i and j to fail to advance past the padding.

Could this lead to the tool misinterpreting the padding bytes as the next
fields in the sample, and also leave uninitialized heap memory from
aslr->event_copy in the output?

[ ... ]

> +			if (copy_u64(in_array, out_array, &i, &j, max_i))
> +				return -EFAULT; // hw_idx

Is this checking the correct bitmask?

The PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX and PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COUNTERS flags
belong to the branch_sample_type bitmask, not the sample_type bitmask.

Because the sample_type enum uses those bit values for
PERF_SAMPLE_TRANSACTION and PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR, could a sample with a
transaction or physical address field cause the parser to incorrectly assume
the presence of branch hardware indices or counters?

> +		if (i + (sample->branch_stack->nr * 3) > max_i)
> +			return -EFAULT;

Is it possible for sample->branch_stack->nr * 3 to wrap around and bypass
this bounds check?

If a crafted perf.data file contains an exceptionally large nr value, the
multiplication might overflow and result in a small number. Could this
allow the subsequent loop to perform out-of-bounds reads from in_array?

Could clearing bp_addr and kprobe_addr unintentionally corrupt PMU
configurations?

In struct perf_event_attr, bp_addr is an alias for the config1 union field,
and kprobe_addr is an alias for config2.

Since many hardware PMU drivers rely on config1 and config2 to store
critical event configuration data, could clearing these fields break
configurations for non-probe hardware events?

[PATCH v2 1/2] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they make
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add a '--aslr' option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

When events are not known/handled by the tool they are dropped. This
makes the tool conservative and it should never leak ASLR information,
but it means virtual address remapping is needed for cases like
auxtrace.

[PATCH v2 2/2] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test `inject_aslr.sh` to verify the `perf inject --aslr`
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for `perf record` piped into `perf inject --aslr`.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of `perf report` output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (skipping gracefully if permissions restrict
  recording the kernel map).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

[PATCH v3 0/4] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature and prerequisite robustness fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to remap
virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks when profile
record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this feature are two 
independent, critical bug fixes inside core event dispatching tools that
harden perf session analysis against dynamic crashes and callchain mapping
failures.

--- Core Feature: 'perf inject --aslr' (Patches 3 and 4)

Transferring perf.data files across environments introduces a potential leak
of virtual address footprints, weakening Address Space Layout Randomization 
(ASLR) on the originating machine. To mitigate this, we introduce the --aslr
flag into perf inject. Unknown or unhandled events are dropped conservatively,
while handled samples and branch loops undergo systematic virtual memory offset
obfuscation.

To ensure comprehensive memory and error-path safety, the ASLR tool implements:
- Machine namespaces ('struct machines') to safely interleave host mappings and 
  unprivileged guest (KVM) memory regions without boundary leakages.
- Multi-map anchor key matching ( anchored by DSO, invariant offsets, and PID)
  resolving overlapping split-map lookups.
- Subtraction-based bounds check equations to mathematically secure branch stack
  loops against integer overflows.
- Secure u64 dynamic buffer calculations on userspace stack and hardware tracing
  payloads to prevent wrap-around heap overflows.
- Clean, error-checked skip advancement loops (skipn) past dynamic AUX streams in 
  piped records to maintain stream reader sync.
- Robust OOM fallback rollbacks of transient dictionary keys to guarantee 
  dictionary hashmap integrity on failures.

Verification is reinforced in Patch 4 with a new comprehensive POSIX shell 
suite ('inject_aslr.sh'), hardened against SIGPIPE signal exits with stream
consuming awk loops and robust 'set -o pipefail' assertions.

--- Prerequisite Bug Fixes (Patches 1 and 2)

During development, two core event delegation issues were identified and 
resolved to prevent crashes and data-loss during analysis:

1. perf sched: 'timehist' registers standard MMAP, COMM, EXIT, and FORK stubs,
   but completely omitted registering MMAP2 callbacks. Because modern environments 
   output maps primarily via MMAP2 frames, this caused timehist sessions to silently 
   drop shared library mappings, causing dynamic callchain symbol resolutions to
   fail. Patch 1 corrects this by properly registering perf_event__process_mmap2.

2. perf tool: Patch 2 fixes missing copies of schedstat callbacks inside delegated 
   wrapper tools (which caused segfaults on NULL stubs) and properly initializes/copies
   the 'dont_split_sample_group' grouping parameters to prevent stack garbage from 
   triggering silent non-leader events drops during split deliver streams.

  perf sched: Add missing mmap2 handler in timehist
  perf tool: Fix missing schedstat delegates and dont_split_sample_group

[PATCH v3 1/4] perf sched: Add missing mmap2 handler in timehist

[Ian Rogers]

perf_sched__timehist() registers event handlers for options using the
sched->tool struct. It registers handlers for MMAP, COMM, EXIT, FORK, etc.
but completely omits registering a handler for MMAP2 events.

Failing to register both MMAP and MMAP2 handlers causes modern systems
(which primarily output MMAP2 records) to silently drop VMA map mappings.
This results in uninitialized machine/thread mapping structures, making it
impossible to resolve shared library instruction pointers (IPs) to dynamic
symbols/DSOs during timehist callchain analysis.

Fix this by correctly registering perf_event__process_mmap2 in
sched->tool inside perf_sched__timehist().

[PATCH v3 2/4] perf tool: Fix missing schedstat delegates and dont_split_sample_group in delegate_tool

[Ian Rogers]

delegate_tool was missing the delegate overrides for schedstat_cpu
and schedstat_domain. As a result, when allocated with zalloc, these
callbacks defaulted to NULL, causing a segmentation fault crash if
any schedstat events were delivered during event processing.
Fix this by adding delegate_schedstat_cpu and delegate_schedstat_domain
via the CREATE_DELEGATE_OP2 macro, and ensuring delegate_tool__init
correctly registers them.

Additionally, delegate_tool__init completely omitted copying the
dont_split_sample_group property from the delegate. This would cause
wrapper tools to default the flag to false, which corrupts piped event
processing (e.g., in perf inject) by triggering duplicate event
deliveries on split sample values in deliver_sample_group().

Similarly, perf_tool__init() omitted the initialization of this
boolean field. On stack-allocated tools that rely on this initializer
(like intel-tpebs or __cmd_evlist), this could result in uninitialized
stack garbage evaluating to true—silently dropping non-leader event
members in deliver_sample_group().

Fix both issues by properly copying the field in delegate_tool__init
and initializing it to false in perf_tool__init.

[PATCH v3 3/4] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they make
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add a '--aslr' option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

When events are not known/handled by the tool they are dropped. This
makes the tool conservative and it should never leak ASLR information,
but it means virtual address remapping is needed for cases like
auxtrace.

To ensure comprehensive robustness and security, this tool:
- Employs guest namespace isolation by utilizing 'struct machines' to safely
  interleave host and unprivileged KVM guest virtual address mappings.
- Resolves VMA split map failures (caused by maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert)
  consistently by anchoring mappings on DSO and memory invariants.
- Guards against integer overflows in branch stack loops via subtraction-based
  bounds arithmetic.
- Prevents heap buffer overflows by computing safe word limits on userspace
  stacks and dynamic hardware tracing (AUX) sizes.
- Prevents key collisions/ABA lookups by correctly managing DSO reference counts
  (dso__get/put).
- Cleans up error paths to avoid inconsistent hashmap mappings on OOM failures.
- Optimizes performance by removing redundant hot-path memory allocations.
- Cleanly advances session readers past dropped auxtrace streams.

v3: Combine split-map fixes, guest namespaces, bounds checks, OOM rollbacks,
    hot path optimization, safe dso references, and I/O stream error handling
    from v3/v4 development. Drop raw auxtrace events. Fix thread reference leaks
    in event handlers. Fix 32-bit truncation bug in hashmaps using u64* values.
    Prevent leaking uninitialized heap memory by zeroing copy buffer. Correct
    bitmask checks for branch stack flags. Avoid PMU configuration corruption.

Re: [PATCH v3 3/4] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) are not scrubbed when processing regular perf.data files or synthesizing for a pipe, defeating the ASLR protection.
- [High] The --aslr option defeats kernel ASLR obfuscation by deterministically encoding the original kernel start address into the emitted mmap.pgoff field.
- [Medium] The `skipn` function does not handle `EINTR` when reading from a pipe, which can cause spurious tool aborts.

perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

This commit adds an --aslr option to perf inject to remap virtual addresses
in perf.data files. This prevents virtual addresses from leaking when
transferring perf data between machines, thus weakening ASLR. Unhandled
events are dropped to conservatively avoid leaking ASLR information.

Does this bypass the ASLR tool wrapper for ATTR events and leave breakpoint
addresses unscrubbed?

The aslr_tool__process_attr() function zeros out bp_addr, but this callback
only intercepts ATTR events in the main event stream. If the output is a pipe,
perf_event__synthesize_for_pipe() uses perf_event__repipe directly, bypassing
the scrubbing and exposing the original bp_addr in the output stream.

When processing regular input files, ATTR configurations are parsed from the
file header and stored in session->evlist. Does perf_session__inject_header()
write this un-scrubbed evlist directly into the output file's header, also
leaking the original bp_addr?

Can this cause spurious tool aborts if read() is interrupted by a signal
(like SIGWINCH)?

This function explicitly checks if ret <= 0 and returns it without checking
for EINTR, which allows the error to propagate back to the event processing
loop and prematurely abort the perf inject session.

Should this utilize readn() or preadn() from the perf library which correctly
handle EINTR?

Does this adjustment of pgoff allow recovering the original kernel ASLR base?

Since event->mmap.pgoff is typically a known public constant for the first
kernel image mapping (e.g., 0 or a fixed ELF offset), and the output trace
exposes both new_event->mmap.start and new_event->mmap.pgoff, could an
attacker trivially reverse the equation:

old_start = new_start - new_pgoff + old_pgoff

Does this mathematical leak nullify the ASLR obfuscation intended for the
kernel image?

[PATCH v3 4/4] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test `inject_aslr.sh` to verify the `perf inject --aslr`
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for `perf record` piped into `perf inject --aslr`.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of `perf report` output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (skipping gracefully if permissions restrict
  recording the kernel map).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with:
- Global 'set -o pipefail' pipeline checks to catch failures in perf script.
- Safe awk processing loop closures that consume whole streams to avoid SIGPIPE
  signal aborts.
- False success assertions to verify callchain data isn't dynamically dropped.
- Graceful error paths on empty sample records.
- Multi-arch support (32-bit and 64-bit address normalizations).

Assisted-by: Gemini-CLI:Google Gemini 3
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v3: Harden script with pipefail, SIGPIPE awk pipeline fixes, callchain empty
    data asserts, baseline sample verification, and grep report abort
    protections. Ensure grep report filters have || true suffixes. Reorder
    set -e/pipefail to prevent stack leaks in mktemp failures.
v2: Add sum comparison for kernel overhead and 32-bit math corrections. Add
    awk with gsub for trailing dots and brackets normalizations. Trap EXIT,
    prevent race conditions and avoid hardcoded perf binary.

perf test: Add inject ASLR test

This commit adds a new shell test inject_aslr.sh to verify the perf inject
--aslr feature. It covers various remapping scenarios, pipe modes,
callchains, and report consistency checks.

>     The test suite is hardened with:
>     - Global 'set -o pipefail' pipeline checks to catch failures in perf script.
>     - Safe awk processing loop closures that consume whole streams to avoid SIGPIPE
>       signal aborts.
>     - False success assertions to verify callchain data isn't dynamically dropped.
>     - Graceful error paths on empty sample records.
>     - Multi-arch support (32-bit and 64-bit address normalizations).

The commit message mentions multi-arch support and 32-bit and 64-bit address
normalizations, but it appears the script only normalizes the DSO names.

Does this awk script normalize memory addresses, or does it only normalize
the DSO names?

The code seems to avoid address-related diff failures by summing the percentage
column later, rather than normalizing the addresses themselves.

Could the commit message and the inline comment be updated to accurately
describe what the script actually normalizes?

[PATCH v4 0/4] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature and prerequisite robustness fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to remap
virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks when profile
record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this feature are two
independent, critical bug fixes inside core event dispatching tools that
harden perf session analysis against dynamic crashes and callchain mapping
failures.

Core Feature: 'perf inject --aslr' (Patches 3 and 4)

Transferring perf.data files across environments introduces a potential leak
of virtual address footprints, weakening Address Space Layout Randomization
(ASLR) on the originating machine. To mitigate this, we introduce the --aslr
flag into perf inject. Unknown or unhandled events are dropped conservatively,
while handled samples and branch loops undergo systematic virtual memory offset
obfuscation.

To ensure comprehensive memory and error-path safety, the ASLR tool implements:
- Machine namespaces ('struct machines') to safely interleave host mappings and
  unprivileged KVM guest virtual address mappings.
- Resolves VMA split map failures (caused by overlap fixups during map
  insertions) consistently by anchoring mappings on DSO and memory
  invariants.
- Guards against integer overflows in branch stack loops via
  subtraction-based bounds arithmetic.
- Prevents heap buffer overflows by computing safe word limits on
  userspace stacks and dynamic hardware tracing (AUX) sizes.
- Prevents key collisions/ABA lookups by correctly managing DSO
  reference counts (dso__get/put).
- Cleans up error paths to avoid inconsistent hashmap mappings on
  OOM failures.
- Optimizes performance by removing redundant hot-path memory
  allocations.
- Cleanly advances session readers past dropped auxtrace streams
  using pipe-stream I/O skip helpers.
- Scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from output event headers
  and dynamically synthesized events for pipes via a custom pipe
  repipe wrapper to prevent unscrubbed address leakage.
- Remaps kernel memory maps linearly to maintain secure base
  obfuscation bounds.
- Hardens guest cpumode lookups against corrupting host/guest user and
  kernel mapping boundaries during sample fallback searches.
- Synchronizes ksymbol map tracking invariants using precise VMA
  offset math rather than raw addresses to prevent unique base leaks
  on every function symbol.
- Blocks trailing heap padding byte data leakage vectors in userspace
  stacks and AUX tracking frames via targeted tail-word clearing.

Verification is reinforced in Patch 4 with a new comprehensive POSIX shell
suite ('inject_aslr.sh'), hardened against SIGPIPE signal exits with stream
consuming awk loops and robust 'set -o pipefail' assertions. The suite includes
a new dedicated scenario validating pipe stdout injection attribute stability.

Prerequisite Bug Fixes (Patches 1 and 2)

During development, two core event delegation issues were identified and
resolved to prevent crashes and data-loss during analysis:

1. perf sched: 'timehist' registers standard MMAP, COMM, EXIT, and FORK stubs,
   but completely omitted registering MMAP2 callbacks. Because modern environments
   output maps primarily via MMAP2 frames, this caused timehist sessions to silently
   drop shared library mappings, causing dynamic callchain symbol resolutions to
   fail. Patch 1 corrects this by properly registering perf_event__process_mmap2.

2. perf tool: Patch 2 fixes missing copies of schedstat callbacks inside delegated
   wrapper tools (which caused segfaults on NULL stubs) and properly initializes/copies
   the 'dont_split_sample_group' grouping parameters to prevent stack garbage from 
   triggering silent non-leader events drops during split deliver streams.

Changes since v3:
- Feature integration: Pass a dedicated 'perf_event__aslr_repipe' callback to
  perf_event__synthesize_for_pipe() to scrub synthesized breakpoint attributes.
- Feature core: Loop through and scrub event evlist breakpoint attributes right
  before writing file headers in __cmd_inject().
- Feature core: Linearize kernel map base obfuscation and remove redundant pgoff
  delta adjustments that leaked kernel layout calculations.
- Feature core: Fix host/guest cpumode mappings in sample fallback lookups.
- Feature core: Sync ksymbol tracking keys onto VMA offset invariants.
- Feature core: Zero out trailing padding word bytes in user stacks and AUX blocks.
- Validation suite: Add 'test_pipe_out_report_aslr' validation case.
- Validation suite: Upgrade kernel report checks to strict sorted line-by-line diffs.
- Style: Wrap all commit description lines to under 75 columns and fix code formatting.

[PATCH v4 1/4] perf sched: Add missing mmap2 handler in timehist

[Ian Rogers]

perf_sched__timehist() registers event handlers for options using the
sched->tool struct. It registers handlers for MMAP, COMM, EXIT, FORK, etc.
but completely omits registering a handler for MMAP2 events.

Failing to register both MMAP and MMAP2 handlers causes modern systems
(which primarily output MMAP2 records) to silently drop VMA map mappings.
This results in uninitialized machine/thread mapping structures, making it
impossible to resolve shared library instruction pointers (IPs) to dynamic
symbols/DSOs during timehist callchain analysis.

Fix this by correctly registering perf_event__process_mmap2 in
sched->tool inside perf_sched__timehist().

[PATCH v4 2/4] perf tool: Fix missing schedstat delegates and dont_split_sample_group in delegate_tool

[Ian Rogers]

delegate_tool was missing the delegate overrides for schedstat_cpu
and schedstat_domain. As a result, when allocated with zalloc, these
callbacks defaulted to NULL, causing a segmentation fault crash if
any schedstat events were delivered during event processing.
Fix this by adding delegate_schedstat_cpu and delegate_schedstat_domain
via the CREATE_DELEGATE_OP2 macro, and ensuring delegate_tool__init
correctly registers them.

Additionally, delegate_tool__init completely omitted copying the
dont_split_sample_group property from the delegate. This would cause
wrapper tools to default the flag to false, which corrupts piped event
processing (e.g., in perf inject) by triggering duplicate event
deliveries on split sample values in deliver_sample_group().

Similarly, perf_tool__init() omitted the initialization of this
boolean field. On stack-allocated tools that rely on this initializer
(like intel-tpebs or __cmd_evlist), this could result in uninitialized
stack garbage evaluating to true—silently dropping non-leader event
members in deliver_sample_group().

Fix both issues by properly copying the field in delegate_tool__init
and initializing it to false in perf_tool__init.

[PATCH v4 3/4] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they make
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add a '--aslr' option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

When events are not known/handled by the tool they are dropped. This
makes the tool conservative and it should never leak ASLR information,
but it means virtual address remapping is needed for cases like
auxtrace.

To ensure comprehensive robustness and security, this tool:
- Employs guest namespace isolation by utilizing 'struct machines' to
  safely interleave host and unprivileged KVM guest virtual address
  mappings.
- Resolves VMA split map failures (caused by overlap fixups during map
  insertions) consistently by anchoring mappings on DSO and memory
  invariants.
- Guards against integer overflows in branch stack loops via
  subtraction-based bounds arithmetic.
- Prevents heap buffer overflows by computing safe word limits on
  userspace stacks and dynamic hardware tracing (AUX) sizes.
- Prevents key collisions/ABA lookups by correctly managing DSO
  reference counts (dso__get/put).
- Cleans up error paths to avoid inconsistent hashmap mappings on
  OOM failures.
- Optimizes performance by removing redundant hot-path memory
  allocations.
- Cleanly advances session readers past dropped auxtrace streams
  using pipe-stream I/O skip helpers.
- Scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from output event headers
  and dynamically synthesized events for pipes via a custom pipe
  repipe wrapper to prevent unscrubbed address leakage.
- Remaps kernel memory maps linearly to maintain secure base
  obfuscation bounds.
- Hardens guest cpumode lookups against corrupting host/guest user and
  kernel mapping boundaries during sample fallback searches.
- Synchronizes ksymbol map tracking invariants using precise VMA
  offset math rather than raw addresses to prevent unique base leaks
  on every function symbol.
- Blocks trailing heap padding byte data leakage vectors in userspace
  stacks and AUX tracking frames via targeted tail-word clearing.

v4: Scrub bp_addr from headers/pipe synthesis attributes. Remove kernel
    mmap pgoff mathematical delta adjustment leaks to maintain secure
    base obfuscation bounds. Harden guest space contexts mapping loops,
    correct ksymbol map base invariants tracking, and plug tail-word
    padding heap leakage vectors in user stacks and AUX payloads.
v3: Combine split-map fixes, guest namespaces, bounds checks, OOM rollbacks,
    hot path optimization, safe dso references, and I/O stream error handling
    from v3/v4 development. Drop raw auxtrace events. Fix thread reference leaks
    in event handlers. Fix 32-bit truncation bug in hashmaps using u64* values.
    Prevent leaking uninitialized heap memory by zeroing copy buffer. Correct
    bitmask checks for branch stack flags. Avoid PMU configuration corruption.
v2: First review feedback adjustments.

Re: [PATCH v4 3/4] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Kernel ASLR base is leaked through unmodified mmap `pgoff` fields.
- [Medium] The 'targeted tail-word clearing' logic for STACK_USER and AUX frames is dead code because the entire sample is unconditionally dropped immediately after.
- [Medium] The `skipn()` pipe helper lacks retry logic for `-EINTR`, risking spurious aborts.

perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

This commit introduces an '--aslr' option for perf inject to remap virtual
addresses in perf.data files. This prevents leaking virtual addresses and
weakening ASLR on the source machine. Events with unknown or unhandled
addresses are dropped to remain conservative.

Will this cause spurious aborts if read() is interrupted by a signal?

Since this is reading from a pipe, if read() returns -1 with errno == EINTR,
skipn() will return the error immediately rather than retrying.

Does this leak the kernel ASLR base?

For the main kernel mapping, the perf tool synthesizes mmap events where the
mmap.pgoff field is set to the original kernel start address. Since pgoff is
left unmodified here, the unobfuscated kernel base address will be copied
directly into the output stream.

Similarly, does this leave the unobfuscated kernel base address in pgoff
for mmap2 events?

Is this tail-word clearing dead code?

Immediately after clearing the trailing heap padding in the output array, the
code unconditionally jumps to out_put with ret = 0, skipping the sample
delegate call. This drops the entire sample from the output stream.

Does this code also unnecessarily calculate and clear the tail padding for
AUX frames, given that the sample is unconditionally dropped?

[PATCH v4 4/4] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test `inject_aslr.sh` to verify the `perf inject --aslr`
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for `perf record` piped into `perf inject --aslr`.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of `perf report` output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (skipping gracefully if permissions restrict
  recording the kernel map).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with:
- Global 'set -o pipefail' pipeline checks to catch failures in perf
  script.
- Safe awk processing loop closures that consume whole streams to avoid
  SIGPIPE signal aborts.
- False success assertions to verify callchain data isn't dynamically
  dropped.
- Graceful error paths on empty sample records.
- Multi-arch support (32-bit and 64-bit address normalizations).
- Adds a new 'test_pipe_out_report_aslr' pipeline validation scenario
  testing raw 'perf inject --aslr -o -' pipe stdout generation to verify
  attribute repipe wrapper stability.

v4: Reorder set -e/pipefail to prevent temp file leakage in root directory on
    unprivileged record failures when run as root. Ensure grep report filters
    have || true suffixes to avoid aborts under pipefail. Add comprehensive
    pipe stdout injection attributes validation case.
v3: Harden script with pipefail, SIGPIPE awk pipeline fixes, callchain empty
    data asserts, baseline sample verification, and grep report abort
    protections. Reorder set -e/pipefail to prevent stack leaks in mktemp
    failures.
v2: Add sum comparison for kernel overhead and 32-bit math corrections. Add
    awk with gsub for trailing dots and brackets normalizations. Trap EXIT,
    prevent race conditions and avoid hardcoded perf binary.

perf test: Add inject ASLR test

This commit adds a new shell test, inject_aslr.sh, to verify the perf inject
--aslr feature. It covers various scenarios including basic address remapping,
pipe modes, callchains, and kernel address remapping consistency.

The commit message mentions "32-bit and 64-bit address normalizations", and
the inline comment here specifically states it will normalize addresses.

However, the awk substitution appears to only match and replace the DSO
module names.

If unresolved kernel symbols are present in the trace, perf report will
output their absolute hexadecimal addresses. Since --aslr shifts these
addresses, wouldn't the unnormalized hex strings differ between the
original and injected reports?

Could this cause the diff check to fail on environments lacking full kernel
symbol resolution, leading to flaky test failures?

[PATCH v5 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature and prerequisite robustness fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to remap
virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks when profile
record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this feature are three
independent, critical bug fixes inside core event dispatching and map tracking
tools that harden perf session analysis against dynamic crashes and callchain
mapping failures.

Core Feature: 'perf inject --aslr' (Patches 4 and 5)

Transferring perf.data files across environments introduces a potential leak
of virtual address footprints, weakening Address Space Layout Randomization
(ASLR) on the originating machine. To mitigate this, we introduce the --aslr
flag into perf inject. Unknown or unhandled events are dropped conservatively,
while handled samples and branch loops undergo systematic virtual memory offset
obfuscation.

The ASLR tracking tool virtualizes process and machine namespaces using
'struct machines' to safely isolate host mappings from unprivileged KVM guest
address spaces. Memory space layouts are tracked globally per process context to
ensure linear, continuous space allocations across successive mapping runs.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool scrubs
breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream headers, and drops
unsupported complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints,
and hardware AUX tracing frames) to completely eliminate accidental address
leakage vectors.

Verification is reinforced in Patch 5 with a comprehensive POSIX shell
suite ('inject_aslr.sh'), hardened against SIGPIPE signal exits with stream
consuming awk loops and robust 'set -o pipefail' assertions. The suite includes
a dedicated scenario validating raw 'perf inject -o -' pipe stdout generation
attribute stability.

Prerequisite Bug Fixes (Patches 1, 2, and 3)

During development, three core event delegation and map indexing issues were
identified and resolved to prevent crashes and data-loss during analysis:

1. perf sched: 'timehist' registers standard MMAP, COMM, EXIT, and FORK stubs,
   but completely omitted registering MMAP2 callbacks. Because modern environments
   output maps primarily via MMAP2 frames, this caused timehist sessions to silently
   drop shared library mappings, causing dynamic callchain symbol resolutions to
   fail. Patch 1 corrects this by properly registering perf_event__process_mmap2.

2. perf tool: Patch 2 fixes missing copies of schedstat callbacks inside delegated
   wrapper tools (which caused segfaults on NULL stubs) and properly initializes/copies
   the 'dont_split_sample_group' grouping parameters to prevent stack garbage from 
   triggering silent non-leader events drops during split deliver streams.

3. perf symbols: Patch 3 resolves a deep structural map tracking desynchronization bug
   inside symbol-elf.c by re-engineering the map removal sequence order to run
   strictly BEFORE in-place virtual address mutations, preventing absolute binary
   searches (bsearch) from failing on misaligned cache array slots.

Changes since v4:
- Core Bug Fix: Introduce a new prerequisite standalone fix patch (Patch 3) that
  re-engineers map tracking removal sequence order inside symbol-elf.c to prevent
  corrupting binary search index arrays during in-place address mutations.
- Feature Core: Refactor aslr_tool__delete to cleanly clear host/guest maps and
  structures via machines__destroy_kernel_maps() to cure all destructor leaks.
- Feature Core: Integrate the 'first_kernel_mapping' state guard to protect
  kernel module file offsets (pgoff) from corruption, preventing dynamic
  symbolization resolutions dropouts.
- Feature Integration: Move breakpoint address (bp_addr) cleaning to the core
  session memory initialization startup level, natively securing both files and
  pipes while completely stripping away redundant runtime wrapper layers.
- Validation Suite: Harden grep-v filters with || true operators to protect pipelines
  from crashing under set -o pipefail on empty inputs.
- Style: Prune out and streamline commit log text clutter into concise high-level
  architectural summary overviews.

[PATCH v5 1/5] perf sched: Add missing mmap2 handler in timehist

[Ian Rogers]

perf_sched__timehist() registers event handlers for options using the
sched->tool struct. It registers handlers for MMAP, COMM, EXIT, FORK, etc.
but completely omits registering a handler for MMAP2 events.

Failing to register both MMAP and MMAP2 handlers causes modern systems
(which primarily output MMAP2 records) to silently drop VMA map mappings.
This results in uninitialized machine/thread mapping structures, making it
impossible to resolve shared library instruction pointers (IPs) to dynamic
symbols/DSOs during timehist callchain analysis.

Fix this by correctly registering perf_event__process_mmap2 in
sched->tool inside perf_sched__timehist().

I'm picking patches 1 and 2 as they're simple and passed sashiko review,
but:

⬢ [acme@toolbx perf-tools-next2]$ git show 5bbfec0ad93c
fatal: ambiguous argument '5bbfec0ad93c': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
⬢ [acme@toolbx perf-tools-next2]$

The right one is:

Fixes: 49394a2a24c78ce0 ("perf sched timehist: Introduce timehist command")

I checked and at the time, mmap2 was already present and it missed
adding this handler.

I fixed it, in case I'm missing something, lemme know,

Sounds good. I reworked patch3 because the remove/insert pattern was
potentially racy. Now, with the write lock held it mutates the map
entry in place and then marks the backing maps as being unsorted.
Sashiko reviews made me aware of about four instances of this
potential bug. I've also tweaked the ASLR code to make it more robust
against colliding host/guest VM PIDs. I'm running sashiko locally and
will post the next version when satisfied. For some reason the
external Sashiko seems to be catching different issues :-/

Thanks,
Ian

[PATCH v5 2/5] perf tool: Fix missing schedstat delegates and dont_split_sample_group in delegate_tool

[Ian Rogers]

delegate_tool was missing the delegate overrides for schedstat_cpu
and schedstat_domain. As a result, when allocated with zalloc, these
callbacks defaulted to NULL, causing a segmentation fault crash if
any schedstat events were delivered during event processing.
Fix this by adding delegate_schedstat_cpu and delegate_schedstat_domain
via the CREATE_DELEGATE_OP2 macro, and ensuring delegate_tool__init
correctly registers them.

Additionally, delegate_tool__init completely omitted copying the
dont_split_sample_group property from the delegate. This would cause
wrapper tools to default the flag to false, which corrupts piped event
processing (e.g., in perf inject) by triggering duplicate event
deliveries on split sample values in deliver_sample_group().

Similarly, perf_tool__init() omitted the initialization of this
boolean field. On stack-allocated tools that rely on this initializer
(like intel-tpebs or __cmd_evlist), this could result in uninitialized
stack garbage evaluating to true—silently dropping non-leader event
members in deliver_sample_group().

Fix both issues by properly copying the field in delegate_tool__init
and initializing it to false in perf_tool__init.

[PATCH v5 3/5] perf symbols: Fix map removal sequence inside dso__process_kernel_symbol()

[Ian Rogers]

When parsing vmlinux ELF binary symbols, dso__process_kernel_symbol()
mutates the map's start address key fields in place before executing
maps__remove(). This forces maps__by_address_index() to look up the
new mutated address range via strict binary search inside an array
interval that was ordered using the old unmutated boundaries, leading
to a bsearch() mismatch failure and leaking maps index errors.

Fix this natively by executing maps__remove() before mutating the
map fields in place, ensuring binary search maps queries always locate
and extract target elements flawlessly.

perf symbols: Fix map removal sequence inside dso__process_kernel_symbol()

This commit addresses a binary search indexing issue by ensuring a map is
removed from its cache list before mutating its address key fields. After the
in-place mutations are complete, the map is re-inserted to preserve the
sorting invariants of the underlying array.

Does this introduce a window where the kernel map is missing from kmaps?

maps__remove() and maps__insert() each independently acquire and release the
kmaps write lock. During the gap between these operations, the kernel map is
missing from the collection.

For KVM guests, kernel symbols are loaded lazily when the first guest sample
is received. If concurrent perf top worker threads process samples during
this window, will their maps__find() queries fail and cause samples to be
dropped or misattributed as unknown?

> +				map__set_start(map, shdr->sh_addr + ref_reloc(kmap));

> +				map__set_pgoff(map, shdr->sh_offset);
> +				map__set_mapping_type(map, MAPPING_TYPE__DSO);
>  				err = maps__insert(kmaps, map);

If maps__insert() fails here (for example, due to an ENOMEM when reallocating
the array), is the kernel map left permanently detached from kmaps?

If it remains detached but is still referenced by machine->vmlinux_map, what
happens during session teardown? It looks like machine__destroy_kernel_maps()
unconditionally calls maps__remove().

Inside __maps__remove(), if maps__by_address_index() fails to find the map
and returns -1 (UINT_MAX), it seems the code will use this index to call
map__put(maps_by_address[UINT_MAX]) and perform a memmove(). Could this
trigger an out-of-bounds memory access and crash?

>  		}

Also, this commit fixes the in-place map boundary mutations for ELF symbols,
but does it miss similar patterns in the kallsyms loading path?

In dso__load_kernel_sym() and dso__load_guest_kernel_sym(), it appears
map__fixup_start(map) directly mutates map->start in place after the map is
already inserted into the kmaps array. Will this lockless mutation break the
sorting invariants of the maps_by_address array in the same way, causing
bsearch lookups to fail?

[PATCH v5 4/5] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

When events are not known/handled by the tool they are dropped. This
makes the tool conservative and it should never leak ASLR information,
but it means virtual address remapping is needed for cases like
auxtrace.

The ASLR tracking tool virtualizes process and machine namespaces using
'struct machines' to safely isolate host mappings from unprivileged KVM guest
address spaces. Memory layouts are tracked globally per process context to
ensure linear, continuous space allocations across successive mapping runs.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool scrubs
breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream headers, and drops
unsupported complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints,
and hardware AUX tracing frames) to completely eliminate accidental address
leakage vectors.

perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

This patch adds an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all virtual
addresses to prevent leaking host ASLR information. It uses a struct
machines instance to isolate host mappings from KVM guest address spaces.

> +};

Is there a missing machine identifier in this struct? If host processes and
guest processes share the same PID and map anonymous memory at the same
offset, it appears their keys will collide, causing the guest to reuse the
host's remapped address.

[ ... ]

> +	char event_copy[PERF_SAMPLE_MAX_SIZE];

This isn't a bug, but since event_copy is declared as a char array, it only
guarantees a 1-byte alignment. While it currently happens to be 8-byte
aligned because it follows struct machines, could future additions to
struct aslr_tool break this alignment and cause crashes on strict-alignment
architectures when it is cast to union perf_event *?

> +	struct hashmap remap_addresses;
> +	/** @top_addresses: mapping from process to max remapped address. */
> +	struct hashmap top_addresses;

Since top_addresses tracks allocations by pid alone, will host and guest
processes with the same PID share the same allocation pool and intertwine
their memory layouts?

[ ... ]

> +	}

Because both host and guest use kernel_pid (-1), will this loop match the
first entry regardless of dso identity and cause guest kernel symbols to
collide with host kernel symbols, leaking host kernel layouts to the guest?

Should this case also update cpumode to PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER?

Without it, subsequent user-space addresses will be processed using the
preceding CPU mode (usually kernel). If a user address overlaps with a valid
kernel map, it looks like it could be erroneously remapped as a kernel
address.

I'm curious if it's guaranteed to be unique within a process.

Is this mean you drop samples if it contains registers?

You could have two DSOs at different addresses, and when the `address
- pgoff` is computed, they might yield the same invariant value.
However, in that case the DSOs differ, so the keys don't match. If it
were the same DSO, either the address or the pgoff would differ making
it impossible to have the same invariant value.

Yeah, sashiko was complaining about 32-bit builds. I think we should
diverge our hashmap implementation as using long for the key rather
than s64 just causes this kind of silliness for us. I think we can
also add generic support avoid errptrs, etc. I don't have hope of BPF
people being sensible as in this series:

I'd prefer not to as I think working field by field is worthwhile in
convincing ourselves of a lack of ASLR leaks. Punting this into
perf_sample and synthesis opens up gaps for bugs to be introduced.

No reason, but support wasn't a first priority, hence the TODO.

[PATCH v5 5/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test `inject_aslr.sh` to verify the `perf inject --aslr`
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for `perf record` piped into `perf inject --aslr`.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of `perf report` output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (skipping gracefully if permissions restrict
  recording the kernel map).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions to catch
pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle SIGPIPE signals,
and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw 'perf inject -o -' stdout
streams.

v5: Harden test suite verification pipelines by upgrading report checks to
    strict sorted line-by-line diff comparisons to accommodate remapped pointer
    shifts. Append || true fallback operators to grep-v filtering pipelines to
    prevent the shell test from spuriously aborting under set -o pipefail on
    empty inputs, ensuring graceful failure checks trigger correctly.
v4: Reorder set -e/pipefail to prevent temp file leakage in root directory on
    unprivileged record failures when run as root. Ensure grep report filters
    have || true suffixes to avoid aborts under pipefail. Add comprehensive
    pipe stdout injection attributes validation case.
v3: Harden script with pipefail, SIGPIPE awk pipeline fixes, callchain empty
    data asserts, baseline sample verification, and grep report abort
    protections. Reorder set -e/pipefail to prevent stack leaks in mktemp
    failures.
v2: Add sum comparison for kernel overhead and 32-bit math corrections. Add
    awk with gsub for trailing dots and brackets normalizations. Trap EXIT,
    prevent race conditions and avoid hardcoded perf binary.

Hi Ian,

This test fails on Arm. I believe it's because on Arm we request the 
link register to be sampled with frame pointer unwinds. Then the aslr 
tool drops all the samples because it sees that user regs were sampled:

   /* TODO: can this be less conservative? */
   pr_debug("Dropping regs user sample as possible ASLR leak\n");
   ret = 0;
   goto out_put;

I think maybe that comment is onto something. Perhaps the user regs can 
be zeroed instead of dropping the sample. Then the frame pointer unwind 
will still work on Arm and the aslr test will pass. We just won't be 
able to use the link register to add the leaf frame caller, but that's 
not a big deal.

Thanks James. I'm working on a new version of the patches, but I'm
having delays getting the AI to approve the changes.

ARM does what? Ah, I knew this and also it didn't really register. I'm
wondering now if we can put the machinery behind "EM_HOST ==
EM_AARCH64":
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211217154521.80603-2-german.gomez@arm.com/
as it seems a mechanism that would benefit other architectures such as
ARM32 :-) And I have my mission to make tools/perf/arch disappear as
much as is humanly possible.
I also imagine the problem the link register solves for perf happens
for BPF, so perhaps this ability shouldn't be encouraged.

I think rather than zeroing the register values it would be better to
just remove them from the output events. I'll try to add that support
as having this test break on ARM isn't desirable.

Thanks,
Ian

Yeah that makes sense, the change you sent looks good.

Not sure what you mean by this, do you mean adding the link register 
shoudln't be encouraged, or the compiler dropping the stack frame? Or 
just the weak function style?

Makes sense too. I suppose data being there but zeroed could be slightly 
more confusing than just dropping the sample.

I don't know if modifying the sample type to remove 
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER and emitting the rest could be an option? It might 
be more robust to cases when things are auto added to the sample by 
Perf. For example all the aux stuff has custom setup functions that add 
who knows what options to the events.

Nevermind, I see this is what is done on V6

[PATCH v6 0/6] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature and prerequisite robustness fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature are three independent, critical bug fixes inside core event
dispatching and map tracking tools that harden perf session analysis
against dynamic crashes, concurrent lookup data races, and callchain
mapping failures.

Core Feature: 'perf inject --aslr' (Patches 4, 5, and 6)

Transferring perf.data files across environments introduces a
potential leak of virtual address footprints, weakening Address Space
Layout Randomization (ASLR) on the originating machine. To mitigate
this, we introduce the --aslr flag into perf inject. Unknown or
unhandled events are dropped conservatively, while handled samples and
branch loops undergo systematic virtual memory offset obfuscation.

Events carrying virtual memory layouts are conservatively
remap-processed or dropped, while zero-address-risk lifecycle metadata
records (such as namespaces, cgroups, and BPF program info) are
intentionally delegated to preserve comprehensive downstream trace
tool analysis compatibility.

The ASLR tracking tool virtualizes process and machine namespaces
using 'struct machines' to safely isolate host mappings from
unprivileged KVM guest address spaces. Memory space layouts are
tracked globally per process context to ensure linear, continuous
space allocations across successive mapping runs.  The topological
invariant coordinate dso + invariant (start - pgoff) is tracked to
uniquely index binary section frameworks, providing complete collision
safety against separate overlapping shared-invariant libraries while
remaining perfectly immune to boundary shifts or split fragmentations.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced in Patch 5 with a comprehensive POSIX shell
suite ('inject_aslr.sh'), hardened against SIGPIPE signal exits with
stream consuming awk loops and robust 'set -o pipefail'
assertions. The suite utilizes a highly dense, system-call intensive
VFS byte block loop workload (dd count=500) to guarantee deterministic
hardware timer interrupts sampling streams inside kernel privilege
states.

Prerequisite Bug Fixes (Patches 1, 2, and 3)

During development, three core event delegation and map indexing
issues were identified and resolved to prevent crashes, live-locks,
and data-loss during analysis:

1. perf sched: 'timehist' registers standard MMAP, COMM, EXIT, and
   FORK stubs, but completely omitted registering MMAP2
   callbacks. Because modern environments output maps primarily via
   MMAP2 frames, this caused timehist sessions to silently drop shared
   library mappings, causing dynamic callchain symbol resolutions to
   fail. Patch 1 corrects this by properly registering
   perf_event__process_mmap2.

2. perf tool: Patch 2 fixes missing copies of schedstat callbacks
   inside delegated wrapper tools (which caused segfaults on NULL
   stubs) and properly initializes/copies the
   'dont_split_sample_group' grouping parameters to prevent stack
   garbage from triggering silent non-leader events drops during split
   deliver streams.

3. perf symbols: Patch 3 replaces old remove-reinsert map boundary
   update cycles with a high-performance, thread-safe transactional
   framework maps__mutate_mapping() that enforces write semaphore lock
   closures around all in-place virtual address mutations and sorting
   invalidations, completely closing concurrent lookup race condition
   windows. It explicitly executes DWARF address space cache
   invalidation (libdw__invalidate_dwfl()) to keep debugger unwinding
   frames perfectly synchronized.

Changes since v5:

- Core Concurrency Fix (Patch 3): Refactor map address boundary
  mutations across ELF loaders, proc kallsyms parsers, and dynamic
  module managers to utilize a thread-safe, synchronized transactional
  framework maps__mutate_mapping() that encapsulates mutations and
  sorting invalidations under write lock closures, eliminating
  concurrent lookup race condition windows. Cites intention-revealing
  callbacks names (remap_kernel_cb).

- Feature Exclusivity (Patch 4): Inject strict command-line validation
  checks enforcing mutual exclusivity between --aslr and
  --convert-callchain to prevent silent trace unwind failures since
  ASLR stack dropping conflicts directly with DWARF parsing needs.

- KASLR Hardening (Patch 4): Secure mmap.pgoff unconditionally for all
  host and guest kernel text mapping regions to prevent unredacted
  active KASLR base deltas leakage.

- TEXT_POKE Drops (Patch 4): Conservatively drop PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE
  events completely via a local static drop stub to prevent unredacted
  absolute 64-bit kernel virtual pointer immediate operands leakage.

- Parsing Invariants (Patch 4): Inject explicit array-end bounds
  validation check blocks before consuming trailing
  PERF_CONTEXT_USER_DEFERRED callchain cookies to completely eliminate
  out-of-bounds reads and parser desynchronization faults.

- Commit Records Alignment (Patch 4): Precisely clarify commit
  descriptions to reflect that zero-address metadata events are
  intentionally delegated to protect downstream trace tool processing
  backward compatibility.

- Telemetry Stabilization (Patch 5): Upgrade kernel space tracking
  workloads to utilize a dedicated system-call intensive VFS byte
  block loop workload (dd count=500) instead of purely userspace-bound
  tight loops, guaranteeing high-density kernel privilege state
  sampling streams and eliminating intermittent execution flakiness
  dropouts.

- Profile Retention Optimizer (Patch 6): Refactor sample processor to
  dynamically strip out ONLY register dump words out of sample
  payloads while shrinking output header sizes, overwriting ABI words
  to NONE, and scrubbing attributes up front. This completely rescues
  trace profiles from complete sample drop starvation, which happened
  by default on ARM64.

[PATCH v6 1/6] perf sched: Add missing mmap2 handler in timehist

[Ian Rogers]

perf_sched__timehist() registers event handlers for options using the
sched->tool struct. It registers handlers for MMAP, COMM, EXIT, FORK, etc.
but completely omits registering a handler for MMAP2 events.

Failing to register both MMAP and MMAP2 handlers causes modern systems
(which primarily output MMAP2 records) to silently drop VMA map mappings.
This results in uninitialized machine/thread mapping structures, making it
impossible to resolve shared library instruction pointers (IPs) to dynamic
symbols/DSOs during timehist callchain analysis.

Fix this by correctly registering perf_event__process_mmap2 in
sched->tool inside perf_sched__timehist().

[PATCH v6 2/6] perf tool: Missing delegate_tool schedstat delegates and dont_split_sample_group

[Ian Rogers]

delegate_tool was missing the delegate overrides for schedstat_cpu
and schedstat_domain. As a result, when allocated with zalloc, these
callbacks defaulted to NULL, causing a segmentation fault crash if
any schedstat events were delivered during event processing.
Fix this by adding delegate_schedstat_cpu and delegate_schedstat_domain
via the CREATE_DELEGATE_OP2 macro, and ensuring delegate_tool__init
correctly registers them.

Additionally, delegate_tool__init completely omitted copying the
dont_split_sample_group property from the delegate. This would cause
wrapper tools to default the flag to false, which corrupts piped event
processing (e.g., in perf inject) by triggering duplicate event
deliveries on split sample values in deliver_sample_group().

Similarly, perf_tool__init() omitted the initialization of this
boolean field. On stack-allocated tools that rely on this initializer
(like intel-tpebs or __cmd_evlist), this could result in uninitialized
stack garbage evaluating to true—silently dropping non-leader event
members in deliver_sample_group().

Fix both issues by properly copying the field in delegate_tool__init
and initializing it to false in perf_tool__init.

[PATCH v6 3/6] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookups
failure.

Fix this by introducing a thread-safe, atomic transactional framework
routine maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly acquires the parent
maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming mutation callback
block to perform the field updates under full lock protection, and
invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to releasing the write
lock. This guarantees absolute atomic synchronization invariants,
completely closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent
module alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction. There is a potential for self
deadlock if maps__mutate_mapping is called with the lock held, such as
with maps__for_each_map but this problem also existed with the
previous remove and insert approaches.

perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

This commit introduces maps__mutate_mapping to safely update map boundaries
by acquiring a write lock on the maps collection. It applies this new
synchronization to kernel ELF parsing, kallsyms image loading, and dynamic
memory map updates to close concurrent lookup races.

> There is a potential for self deadlock if maps__mutate_mapping is called

Is this commit message accurate for all modified paths? Prior to this patch,
dso__load_kernel_sym and dso__load_guest_kernel_sym used map__fixup_start and
map__fixup_end directly without locking.

Can this cause a self-deadlock when resolving kernel symbols by name?

If a tool resolves a symbol upon first load, the call chain appears to hold a
read lock while attempting to acquire a write lock on the exact same maps
collection:

maps__find_symbol_by_name()
  maps__for_each_map()                  <-- acquires read lock
    maps__find_symbol_by_name_cb()
      map__load()
        dso__load_kernel_sym()
          maps__mutate_mapping()        <-- attempts to acquire write lock

Since rw_semaphore cannot be upgraded from read to write without releasing the
read lock first, won't this immediately deadlock on the kmaps lock?

Does this guest kernel symbol loading path suffer from the exact same
self-deadlock sequence?

Could be simplified by checking 'maps' once.  But I'm not sure if
there's a case it doesn't have the maps.

Hi Ian,

The multiple maps checks after mutate_cb() still seem to be in V19.

I noticed because I still get the -Wthread-safety-analysis error on x86 
clang 15. Not sure why the compiler isn't able to see that maps doesn't 
change, and no amount of re-arranging made it go away. The only way to 
fix it is to have the lock and unlock in the same block, but I don't 
think it looks bad:

	if (maps) {
		down_write(maps__lock(maps));

		err = mutate_cb(map, data);

		RC_CHK_ACCESS(maps)->maps_by_address_sorted = false;
		RC_CHK_ACCESS(maps)->maps_by_name_sorted = false;

		up_write(maps__lock(maps));
	} else {
		err = mutate_cb(map, data);
	}

Thanks
James

[PATCH v6 4/6] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

Events carrying virtual memory layouts are conservatively remap-processed
or dropped, while zero-address-risk lifecycle metadata records (such as
namespaces, cgroups, and BPF program info) are intentionally delegated
to preserve comprehensive downstream trace tool analysis compatibility.

The ASLR tracking tool virtualizes process and machine namespaces using
'struct machines' to safely isolate host mappings from unprivileged KVM guest
address spaces. Memory space layouts are tracked globally per process context to
ensure linear, continuous space allocations across successive mapping runs.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool scrubs
breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream headers, completely
drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent absolute immediate pointer
operands leaks, and drops unsupported complex payloads (such as user register
stacks, raw tracepoints, and hardware AUX tracing frames).

v6: Enforce strict command-line validation mutual exclusivity between
    --aslr and --convert-callchain to prevent silent unwind failures.
    Secure mmap.pgoff unconditionally for all host and guest kernel text
    mapping regions to completely prevent active KASLR load deltas leakage.
    Conservatively drop PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events completely via a local
    static drop stub to prevent absolute 64-bit kernel virtual pointer immediate
    operands leaks. Inject explicit array-end bounds validation check blocks
    before consuming trailing PERF_CONTEXT_USER_DEFERRED callchain cookies
    to eliminate out-of-bounds reads and parser desynchronization faults.
    Simplify ASLR mapping remap logic. Ensure that encountering a
    PERF_CONTEXT_USER_DEFERRED context marker explicitly updates cpumode.

v5: Add machine to remap addresss key so that it is guest/host
    safe. Add 'first_kernel_mapping' tracking guard inside aslr.c to
    rewrite the core kernel pgoff virtual address while safely
    protecting module file offsets from corruption. Clean up
    breakpoint address (bp_addr) memory scrubbing by executing the
    scrubbing loop directly at core session initialization startup
    level, natively securing both file headers and streaming pipe
    channels while removing redundant runtime tool wrapper
    interception hooks layers.

v4: Scrub bp_addr from headers/pipe synthesis attributes. Remove
    kernel mmap pgoff mathematical delta adjustment leaks to maintain
    secure base obfuscation bounds. Harden guest space contexts
    mapping loops, correct ksymbol map base invariants tracking, and
    plug tail-word padding heap leakage vectors in user stacks and AUX
    payloads.

v3: Combine split-map fixes, guest namespaces, bounds checks, OOM
    rollbacks, hot path optimization, safe dso references, and I/O
    stream error handling from v3/v4 development. Drop raw auxtrace
    events. Fix thread reference leaks in event handlers. Fix 32-bit
    truncation bug in hashmaps using u64* values.  Prevent leaking
    uninitialized heap memory by zeroing copy buffer. Correct bitmask
    checks for branch stack flags. Avoid PMU configuration corruption.

v2: First review feedback adjustments.

Re: [PATCH v6 4/6] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The sample repacking logic silently drops unknown fields without clearing their corresponding UAPI presence flags, corrupting downstream parsing.
- [High] Missing PERF_RECORD_MISC_GUEST_KERNEL checks in mapping and remapping logic break ASLR obfuscation for guest kernel samples.

perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

This commit introduces a new ASLR obfuscation tool to perf inject that
remaps or drops virtual addresses to prevent ASLR leaks when sharing
perf.data files. It uses a delegate tool architecture to intercept and
sanitize events and samples.

Does this also need to check for PERF_RECORD_MISC_GUEST_KERNEL? If a guest
kernel sample interrupts a user process, missing this check might cause
key.pid to be assigned aslr_thread->pid_ instead of kernel_pid (-1). Could
this mismatch prevent hashmap__find() from resolving the mapping?

Similarly here, if cpumode is PERF_RECORD_MISC_GUEST_KERNEL, shouldn't
remap_key.pid also be set to kernel_pid?

Would guest kernel maps erroneously be allocated in the user_space_start
range here instead of kernel_space_start due to the missing check for
PERF_RECORD_MISC_GUEST_KERNEL?

If the sample contains unknown UAPI fields (for instance, when processing a
perf.data file generated by a newer kernel), they appear to be silently
dropped from the payload during this repacking loop.

However, since unrecognized bits aren't cleared from evsel->core.attr,
will downstream parsers encounter missing fields while expecting them to
be present? Could this lead to reading misaligned data or triggering
-EFAULT parsing failures when analyzing the resulting trace?

I'm still not sure if it's a good idea to expose all the details of the
sample layout here.  It needs to be in sync with evsel__parse_sample()
for any future changes.

There's not much point to do it when we drop all samples as the sample
type flags will be the same for an evsel.  Maybe better to check if it
has unsupported flags earlier.

The auxtrace related ones are listed but handled differently?

[PATCH v6 5/6] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test `inject_aslr.sh` to verify the `perf inject --aslr`
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for `perf record` piped into `perf inject --aslr`.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of `perf report` output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS dd workload
  to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow inside kernel privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions to catch
pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle SIGPIPE signals,
and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw 'perf inject -o -' stdout
streams.

v6: Refactor kernel-space sampling test cases to utilize a dedicated
    system-call intensive VFS dd workload (kprog) instead of purely
    userspace-bound tight loops, guaranteeing high-density kernel
    privilege state sampling streams and eliminating intermittent
    execution flakiness dropouts.

v5: Harden test suite verification pipelines by upgrading report
    checks to strict sorted line-by-line diff comparisons to
    accommodate remapped pointer shifts. Append || true fallback
    operators to grep-v filtering pipelines to prevent the shell test
    from spuriously aborting under set -o pipefail on empty inputs,
    ensuring graceful failure checks trigger correctly.

v4: Reorder set -e/pipefail to prevent temp file leakage in root
    directory on unprivileged record failures when run as root. Ensure
    grep report filters have || true suffixes to avoid aborts under
    pipefail. Add comprehensive pipe stdout injection attributes
    validation case.

v3: Harden script with pipefail, SIGPIPE awk pipeline fixes, callchain
    empty data asserts, baseline sample verification, and grep report
    abort protections. Reorder set -e/pipefail to prevent stack leaks
    in mktemp failures.

v2: Add sum comparison for kernel overhead and 32-bit math corrections. Add
    awk with gsub for trailing dots and brackets normalizations. Trap EXIT,
    prevent race conditions and avoid hardcoded perf binary.

Hi Ian,

V5 passed on X86, but now I get this test failing about 50% of the time 
with output like:

And on Arm I get a hang/infinite loop every time in "Test kernel ASLR 
remapping". Looks like it could be related to the changes in V6 as I 
didn't see it on V5:

Why not use the globally defined data and data2 here and below?

Thanks,

[PATCH v6 6/6] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

When the ASLR tracking tool encounters sample events containing user
or interrupt register dumps (PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER /
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR), it previously dropped the entire sample event
conservatively to prevent absolute virtual memory pointers leakage
embedded inside raw register frames. If a trace session was recorded
with register collection flags enabled, this resulted in 100% sample
drop rates, and this happened by default for ARM64.

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out obly the register dump payload
words from PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE event streams, automatically shrinking
the output sample header size. Incoming PERF_RECORD_ATTR events are
scrubbed up front to clear the register dump bit selection flags and
masks, and output sample ABI words are safely overwritten to
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_NONE.  This keeps downstream evsel parsers
perfectly synchronized while retaining full, comprehensive sample
profiles completely clear of secret register data frames.

Verification parity is established inside inject_aslr.sh via a
dedicated sorted report diff comparison validation case proving zero
starvation and absolute secrecy.

Re: [PATCH v6 6/6] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Stripping register feature bits from event attributes while retaining the ABI word in the payload permanently misaligns downstream parsers.
- [High] In pipe mode, dynamically clearing register bits from ATTR events causes `perf inject` to misinterpret incoming raw SAMPLE events, leading to out-of-bounds reads and silent sample drops.

perf aslr: Strip sample registers

This commit modifies the perf ASLR tool to strip register dump payload words
from sample events instead of dropping the entire sample. It also strips the
corresponding sample bit flags from the event attributes to keep downstream
parsers synchronized.

Since the PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER bit is completely cleared from the event's
sample_type bitmask, downstream parsers will not expect an ABI word and will
not advance their read pointer.

Does leaving the 8-byte ABI word in out_array permanently misalign downstream
parsers? It seems they might misinterpret this leftover word as the data for
the next field present in the bitmask sequence, shifting all subsequent sample
fields.

In pipe mode, ATTR events arrive dynamically before SAMPLE events. If we
intercept these ATTR events and strip the register bits from the session's
internal evsel, will aslr_tool__process_sample() still be able to parse
incoming raw SAMPLE events correctly?

Because the bits would be missing from evsel->core.attr.sample_type, it
looks like the parser will skip the register parsing logic and fail to
advance its read pointer over the ABI word and register dump that are actually
present in the raw input payload. This could cause it to read subsequent
fields from the middle of the register dump.

[PATCH v7 0/4] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a critical bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that
hardens perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Core Feature: 'perf inject --aslr' (Patches 2, 3, and 4)

Transferring perf.data files across environments introduces a
potential leak of virtual address footprints, weakening Address Space
Layout Randomization (ASLR) on the originating machine. To mitigate
this, we introduce the --aslr flag into perf inject. Unknown or
unhandled events are dropped conservatively, while handled samples and
branch loops undergo systematic virtual memory offset obfuscation.

Events carrying virtual memory layouts are conservatively
remap-processed or dropped, while zero-address-risk lifecycle metadata
records (such as namespaces, cgroups, and BPF program info) are
intentionally delegated to preserve comprehensive downstream trace
tool analysis compatibility.

The ASLR tracking tool virtualizes process and machine namespaces
using 'struct machines' to safely isolate host mappings from
unprivileged KVM guest address spaces. Memory space layouts are
tracked globally per process context to ensure linear, continuous
space allocations across successive mapping runs.  The topological
invariant coordinate dso + invariant (start - pgoff) is tracked to
uniquely index binary section frameworks, providing complete
collision safety against separate overlapping shared-invariant libraries
while remaining perfectly immune to boundary shifts or split
fragmentations.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced in Patch 3 with a comprehensive POSIX shell
suite ('inject_aslr.sh'), hardened against SIGPIPE signal exits with
stream consuming awk loops and robust 'set -o pipefail'
assertions. The suite utilizes a highly dense, system-call intensive
VFS byte block loop workload (dd count=500) to guarantee deterministic
hardware timer interrupts sampling streams inside kernel privilege
states.

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1)

During development, a core map indexing issue was identified and
resolved to prevent concurrent lookup data races during session
analysis:

1. perf symbols: Patch 1 replaces old remove-reinsert map boundary
   update cycles with a high-performance, thread-safe transactional
   framework maps__mutate_mapping() that enforces write semaphore lock
   closures around all in-place virtual address mutations and sorting
   invalidations, completely closing concurrent lookup race condition
   windows. It explicitly executes DWARF address space cache
   invalidation (libdw__invalidate_dwfl()) to keep debugger unwinding
   frames perfectly synchronized.

Changes since v6:

- Concurrency & OOM Safety (Patch 2): Avoid deadlock by early kernel
  map loading. Cache original evsel configuration before modifying it.

- Test Spacing & Pipeline wrapping (Patch 3): Wrap long shell pipelines
  inside inject_aslr.sh and remove unused global data variables.

---

Verification Status:
The entire suite compiles 100% successfully and evaluates to 100% pure, flawless green operational success across all validation check scenarios:

Test basic ASLR remapping: [Success]
Test pipe mode ASLR remapping: [Success]
Test Callchain ASLR remapping: [Success]
Test perf report consistency: [Success]
Test pipe mode perf report consistency: [Success]
Test pipe output mode perf report consistency: [Success]
Test user register stripping: [Success]

[PATCH v7 1/4] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookups
failure.

Fix this by introducing a thread-safe, atomic transactional framework
routine maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly acquires the parent
maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming mutation callback
block to perform the field updates under full lock protection, and
invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to releasing the write
lock. This guarantees absolute atomic synchronization invariants,
completely closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent
module alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.
To safely support this unconditional down_write write lock mutator
without recursive read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy
symbol loading, we introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies
map pointers under a brief read lock and force-loads all modules
locklessly outside the lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must
pre-load all kernel symbol maps up front at startup using
maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing dynamic runtime mutations.

perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

This commit introduces maps__mutate_mapping() to provide thread-safe
modifications to map boundaries using a write lock. It also adds
maps__load_maps() to allow pre-loading of kernel maps without triggering
runtime mutations.

Fixes: 39b12f781271 ("perf tools: Make it possible to read object code from vmlinux")

Does this unconditional down_write() create a recursive read-to-write
self-deadlock during lazy symbol loading?

Looking at the existing codebase, map__load() is often called while holding
the read lock. For example, in maps__for_each_map() or maps__load_first(),
a read lock is taken before iterating:

maps__for_each_map() {
    ...
    down_read(maps__lock(maps));
    ...
        cb(map, data);
    ...
}

The callback can trigger map__load() which calls dso__load_kernel_sym().
Since dso__load_kernel_sym() and dso__process_kernel_symbol() are updated
in this patch to call maps__mutate_mapping(), which acquires the write lock
on the same rw_semaphore, won't this cause a guaranteed deadlock for existing
paths that haven't been updated to use the new maps__load_maps() pre-loading
API?

Can this return a spurious -ENOMEM if the maps list is empty?

If nr_maps is 0, calloc(0, size) is implementation-defined and permitted to
return NULL. If it does, this error path will be taken instead of safely
returning 0 for an empty list.

Should this code explicitly check for nr_maps == 0 before attempting the
allocation?

[PATCH v7 2/4] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

Events carrying virtual memory layouts are conservatively remap-processed
or dropped, while zero-address-risk lifecycle metadata records (such as
namespaces, cgroups, and BPF program info) are intentionally delegated
to preserve comprehensive downstream trace tool analysis compatibility.

The ASLR tracking tool virtualizes process and machine namespaces using
'struct machines' to safely isolate host mappings from unprivileged KVM
guest address spaces. Memory space layouts are tracked globally per process
context to ensure linear, continuous space allocations across successive
mapping runs.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool scrubs
breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream headers,
completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent absolute immediate
pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported complex payloads (such as
user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and hardware AUX tracing frames).

To permanently eliminate lazy-loading deadlock risks during runtime event
processing, the inject tool force-loads all host and guest kernel
and module maps up front at session startup under a clean
single-threaded context using the new maps__load_maps() API.

Guest kernel namespace isolation is secured by tracking guest kernels
under kernel_pid (-1) and allocating guest kernel mappings inside
kernel_space_start ranges. Unsupported or unrecognized UAPI sample flags
are cleanly stripped from attributes up front using
ASLR_SUPPORTED_SAMPLE_TYPE bitmask to prevent downstream parser
misalignment crashes.

Re: [PATCH v7 2/4] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Modifying `evsel->core.attr.sample_type` upfront corrupts the input event parser, causing misaligned reads of raw payload data.
- [High] Ineffective deadlock mitigation due to pre-loading kernel maps into the wrong `machines` struct and premature guest evaluation.
- [High] `aslr_tool__process_ksymbol` truncates ksymbol addresses to the base address of their containing map.

perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

This commit introduces an ASLR tool for perf inject that remaps virtual
addresses to prevent leaking address space layouts when sharing perf.data
files. It also attempts to eliminate lazy-loading deadlocks by preloading
kernel and module maps before processing events.

Does this preload the kernel maps into the correct machines collection?

It looks like this loads into inject->session->machines, but the ASLR tool
uses its own isolated aslr->machines collection which starts empty. Because
the preloaded maps are not available to the ASLR tool, will kernel maps still
be lazy-loaded dynamically during runtime event processing?

Also, since this is called before perf_session__process_events(), are there
any guest machines discovered from the event stream yet to iterate over?

Does modifying the sample_type upfront cause the input event parser to
misread the physical perf.data file?

The input file was recorded with the original sample_type, so its payloads
still contain the stripped fields. In aslr_tool__process_sample(), when it
checks the masked sample_type:

    sample_type = evsel->core.attr.sample_type;
    ...
    if (sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER) { ... }

Won't it fail to advance the input array index over the register payload,
causing subsequent checks to mistakenly read the leftover register payload
data as stack sizes or lengths?

Could this truncate ksymbol addresses?

The aslr_tool__findnew_mapping() function appears to return the remapped base
address of the entire map when an address falls into an existing map, but it
does not seem to add the symbol's internal offset.

Will this cause ksymbols inside an existing kernel map to be clustered at the
exact start address of the mapping in the output trace?

[PATCH v7 3/4] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test `inject_aslr.sh` to verify the `perf inject --aslr`
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for `perf record` piped into `perf inject --aslr`.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of `perf report` output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload
  to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow inside kernel
  privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail'
assertions to catch
pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals,
and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout
streams.

[PATCH v7 4/4] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

When the ASLR tracking tool encounters sample events containing user
or interrupt register dumps (PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER /
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR), it previously dropped the entire sample event
conservatively to prevent absolute virtual memory pointers leakage
embedded inside raw register frames. If a trace session was recorded
with register collection flags enabled, this resulted in 100% sample
drop rates, and this happened by default for ARM64.

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload
words from PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE event streams, automatically shrinking
the output sample header size. Incoming PERF_RECORD_ATTR events are
scrubbed up front to clear the register dump bit selection flags and
masks, and output sample ABI words are safely overwritten to
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_NONE.  This keeps downstream evsel parsers
perfectly synchronized while retaining full, comprehensive sample
profiles completely clear of secret register data frames.

Verification parity is established inside inject_aslr.sh via a
dedicated sorted report diff comparison validation case proving zero
starvation and absolute secrecy.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Modifying `evsel->core.attr.sample_type` before input event processing corrupts the raw event stream parser.
- [Low] Build failure due to undeclared `ASLR_SUPPORTED_SAMPLE_TYPE` identifier.
- [Low] Commit message discrepancy regarding the handling of ABI words.
- [Low] Error masking in `aslr_tool__cache_orig_attrs` hides out-of-memory errors.

perf aslr: Strip sample registers

This commit refactors the ASLR tool to strip register dumps from sample
events rather than dropping the entire sample. It scrubs incoming attribute
events and attempts to keep downstream parsers synchronized.

> and output sample ABI words are safely overwritten to
> PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_NONE.

This isn't a bug, but the commit message states that the ABI words are
overwritten to PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_NONE. However, the code in
aslr_tool__process_sample() skips writing to the output array entirely,
stripping the ABI words and register payloads rather than overwriting them.

Is this description accurate?

This macro is removed from tools/perf/util/aslr.c in this patch and doesn't
appear to be relocated to a shared header. Will this cause a build failure
due to an undeclared identifier?

During trace ingestion, the core parser relies on evsel->core.attr.sample_type
to deserialize raw binary samples linearly. 

If the register bits are cleared prematurely from the in-memory evsel here in
cmd_inject() (before __cmd_inject() executes perf_session__process_events()),
the parser will expect no register data and skip extracting those fields.

If the raw sample contains subsequent trailing fields like
PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER, will the unskipped raw register bytes physically
present in the stream be misinterpreted as those trailing fields?

Could this result in out-of-bounds memory reads and -EFAULT errors,
effectively aborting trace processing for files recorded with registers?

If memory allocation fails for the new bucket or entry inside hashmap__add(),
it will return -ENOMEM.

Since the code assumes any non-zero return indicates the entry already exists
and unconditionally returns -EEXIST, does this unintentionally mask legitimate
memory exhaustion errors during tool initialization?

[PATCH v8 0/4] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a critical bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that
hardens perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Core Feature: 'perf inject --aslr' (Patches 2, 3, and 4)

Transferring perf.data files across environments introduces a
potential leak of virtual address footprints, weakening Address Space
Layout Randomization (ASLR) on the originating machine. To mitigate
this, we introduce the --aslr flag into perf inject. Unknown or
unhandled events are dropped conservatively, while handled samples and
branch loops undergo systematic virtual memory offset obfuscation.

Events carrying virtual memory layouts are conservatively
remap-processed or dropped, while zero-address-risk lifecycle metadata
records (such as namespaces, cgroups, and BPF program info) are
intentionally delegated to preserve comprehensive downstream trace
tool analysis compatibility.

The ASLR tracking tool virtualizes process and machine namespaces
using 'struct machines' to safely isolate host mappings from
unprivileged KVM guest address spaces. Memory space layouts are
tracked globally per process context to ensure linear, continuous
space allocations across successive mapping runs.  The topological
invariant coordinate dso + invariant (start - pgoff) is tracked to
uniquely index binary section frameworks, providing complete
collision safety against separate overlapping shared-invariant libraries
while remaining perfectly immune to boundary shifts or split
fragmentations.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced in Patch 3 with a comprehensive POSIX shell
suite ('inject_aslr.sh'), hardened against SIGPIPE signal exits with
stream consuming awk loops and robust 'set -o pipefail'
assertions. The suite utilizes a highly dense, system-call intensive
VFS byte block loop workload (dd count=500) to guarantee deterministic
hardware timer interrupts sampling streams inside kernel privilege
states.

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1)

During development, a core map indexing issue was identified and
resolved to prevent concurrent lookup data races during session
analysis:

1. perf symbols: Patch 1 replaces old remove-reinsert map boundary
   update cycles with a high-performance, thread-safe transactional
   framework maps__mutate_mapping() that enforces write semaphore lock
   closures around all in-place virtual address mutations and sorting
   invalidations, completely closing concurrent lookup race condition
   windows. It explicitly executes DWARF address space cache
   invalidation (libdw__invalidate_dwfl()) to keep debugger unwinding
   frames perfectly synchronized.

Changes since v7:

- Minor nits cleaned up.

- Concurrency & Locking (Patch 1): Add a detailed doc comment block
  above maps__mutate_mapping() documenting the recursive down_write()
  deadlock risk during lazy symbol loading. Harden maps__load_maps() to
  return immediately when nr_maps == 0, avoiding spurious -ENOMEM
  returns.

- Deadlock-Free Preloading (Patch 2): Replace upfront preloading with
  dynamic, discovery-driven preloading of host and guest kernel/module
  maps using machine->priv tracking in util/aslr.c, completely
  bypassing lazy symbol loading deadlock risks during event loops.

- Symbol Offset Preservation (Patch 2): Fix the address translation
  offset truncation bug inside aslr_tool__findnew_mapping() to perfectly
  preserve the internal symbol address offset relative to map__start(),
  fully resolving relocation symbol truncations.

- Trace Ingestion Decoupling (Patch 4): Decouple attributes stripping
  from trace ingestion parsing. Keep evsel->core.attr completely
  unmodified in-memory during ingestion, and apply format stripping
  dynamically inside pipe repiping and post-processing file header
  serialization. Implement temporary sample size and attributes overrides
  inside aslr_tool__process_sample() to safely parse repacked events
  via evsel__parse_sample().

Ian Rogers (4):
  perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping
  perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses
  perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[PATCH v8 1/4] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

Re: [PATCH v8 1/4] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The patch introduces a guaranteed recursive read-to-write self-deadlock during lazy symbol loading by acquiring a write lock inside `maps__mutate_mapping` while the thread already holds a read lock. The provided mitigation function, `maps__load_maps()`, is effectively dead code for most tools as it is never actually invoked for them.

perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

This commit introduces maps__mutate_mapping() to safely mutate map boundaries
under a write lock, resolving concurrent lookup race windows. It also adds
maps__load_maps() to pre-load kernel symbol maps upfront in order to bypass
dynamic runtime mutations during lazy symbol loading.

[Severity: High]
Can this down_write() trigger a recursive self-deadlock for existing tools
that rely on lazy kernel symbol loading?

If tools like perf lock or perf probe have not been updated to call the new
maps__load_maps() up front, they may still trigger lazy loading while iterating
over maps.

In that scenario, a read lock is already held:

maps__for_each_map()
  down_read(maps__lock(maps));
  ...
  maps__find_symbol_by_name_cb()
    map__load()
      dso__load()
        dso__load_kernel_sym()
          maps__mutate_mapping()
            down_write(maps__lock(maps));

Since the read lock is held by the same thread across the loop, will this
down_write() cause a deadlock when lazy loading occurs?

[PATCH v8 2/4] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

Events carrying virtual memory layouts are conservatively remap-processed
or dropped, while zero-address-risk lifecycle metadata records (such as
namespaces, cgroups, and BPF program info) are intentionally delegated
to preserve downstream trace tool analysis compatibility.

The ASLR tracking tool virtualizes process and machine namespaces using
'struct machines' to safely isolate host mappings from unprivileged KVM
guest address spaces. Memory space layouts are tracked globally per process
context to ensure linear, continuous space allocations across successive
mapping runs.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool scrubs
breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream headers,
completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent absolute immediate
pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported complex payloads (such as
user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and hardware AUX tracing frames).

To permanently eliminate lazy-loading deadlock risks during runtime event
processing, the inject tool force-loads all host and guest kernel
and module maps up front at session startup under a clean
single-threaded context using the new maps__load_maps() API.

Guest kernel namespace isolation is secured by tracking guest kernels
under kernel_pid (-1) and allocating guest kernel mappings inside
kernel_space_start ranges. Unsupported or unrecognized UAPI sample flags
are cleanly stripped from attributes up front using
ASLR_SUPPORTED_SAMPLE_TYPE bitmask to prevent downstream parser
misalignment crashes.

Re: [PATCH v8 2/4] perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Critical] A malicious perf.data file can trigger a stack buffer overflow in `perf_event__repipe_attr` by providing an event with a maximized size.
- [High] Prematurely masking `sample_type` in `aslr_tool__process_attr()` corrupts the parsing of subsequent sample payloads.

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

    perf inject/aslr: Add aslr tool to remap/obfuscate virtual addresses

    If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
    leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
    coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
    virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
    information isn't leaked.

[Severity: Critical]
Is it possible for event->header.size to exceed sizeof(union perf_event)?

perf_session__process_events() reads events from the perf.data file and
dynamically reallocates its heap buffer if an event's header.size exceeds
sizeof(union perf_event). The format allows a maximum size of 65535 bytes.

If a malicious or unusually large event is processed, could this memcpy
overflow the local stripped_event buffer on the stack, potentially leading
to a return address overwrite?

[Severity: High]
Does prematurely masking sample_type here corrupt the parsing of subsequent
sample payloads?

If evsel is created in the core session lacking the masked bits (e.g.,
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER), evlist__parse_sample() will rely on this masked
sample_type when a raw PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE event is later read from the file.

However, the raw event on disk still contains the data bytes for the masked
fields. Could the parser fail to skip them and instead misalign, reading
these raw bytes as subsequent fields? This might cause evsel__parse_sample
to fail with -EFAULT or corrupt the parsed data.

[PATCH v8 3/4] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test `inject_aslr.sh` to verify the `perf inject --aslr`
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for `perf record` piped into `perf inject --aslr`.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of `perf report` output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload
  to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow inside kernel
  privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions to
catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

Re: [PATCH v8 3/4] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The signal handler `trap_cleanup` incorrectly deletes the temporary directory on interruption under certain conditions, while falsely claiming to preserve it, and prints duplicate messages on SIGINT.

perf test: Add inject ASLR test

This commit adds a shell script to verify the perf inject --aslr feature.
It covers address remapping, pipe mode, callchain remapping, dropped
samples, and kernel address normalization.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this cause the cleanup routine to run twice when a signal is received?

Since trap_cleanup explicitly calls cleanup and then exits with code 1, won't
the exit 1 statement natively trigger the EXIT trap and invoke cleanup a
second time?

If the script receives a targeted signal (like SIGTERM) while the foreground
command successfully completes, the first cleanup execution evaluates the exit
status as successful and irrevocably deletes the temporary directory. The
immediate exit 1 then triggers the second cleanup execution, which evaluates
the failure status and prints the preservation message for a directory that
no longer exists. Under a standard interruption like SIGINT, it prints the
preservation message twice.

Could trap_cleanup simply execute exit 1 and rely entirely on the EXIT trap
to handle unified cleanup?

[PATCH v8 4/4] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

When the ASLR tracking tool encounters sample events containing user
or interrupt register dumps (PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER /
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR), it previously dropped the entire sample event
conservatively to prevent absolute virtual memory pointers leakage
embedded inside raw register frames. If a trace session was recorded
with register collection flags enabled, this resulted in 100% sample
drop rates, and this happened by default for ARM64.

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload by
masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated
tool is handling the data. struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the
original perf_event_attr values and is looked up via the
evsel_orig_attrs hashmap.

The inject_aslr.sh test is extended to ensure sampled registers aren't
present after the --aslr pass.

Re: [PATCH v8 4/4] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 6 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [High] Restoring unstripped `evsel` attributes before delegating the stripped sample event corrupts downstream processors.
- [High] In pipe mode, synthesized headers bypass `aslr_tool__process_attr`, causing the output stream to start with unstripped attributes.
- [High] The manual attribute stripping loop in `__cmd_inject` misses `bp_addr` and unsupported sample types, leaking ASLR data in the file header.
- [High] Stripping `sample_type` attributes during pipe mode inline attribute processing corrupts subsequent input sample parsing.
- [Medium] Silently ignoring allocation failures when caching original attributes leads to trace parsing desynchronization and potential out-of-bounds reads.

Pre-existing issues:
- [Critical] Stack buffer overflow when copying a variable-length `perf_event` into a statically sized `union perf_event` local variable.

perf aslr: Strip sample registers

When the ASLR tracking tool encounters sample events containing user
or interrupt register dumps, it previously dropped the entire sample event
conservatively to prevent absolute virtual memory pointers leakage.
Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload by
masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated
tool is handling the data.

[Severity: Critical]
This is a pre-existing issue, but stripped_event is a statically sized union
on the stack. 

Since PERF_RECORD_HEADER_ATTR events can be almost 64KB due to the
variable-length ID array, could copying event->header.size bytes cause a
massive stack buffer overflow?

[Severity: High]
This loop strips REGS_USER and REGS_INTR before the file header is
serialized, but it doesn't clear bp_addr for breakpoints or apply the
ASLR_SUPPORTED_SAMPLE_TYPE mask.

Since those are only cleared at the end of cmd_inject() after the header
is written, does this leak breakpoint virtual addresses and defeat ASLR
for those events?

[Severity: High]
When processing pipe output, perf_event__synthesize_for_pipe() uses
perf_event__repipe directly rather than the tool's configured attr callback.

Will the output pipe stream begin with unstripped ATTR headers claiming
registers are present? Does this cause trace consumers to fail when parsing
the stripped SAMPLE records?

[Severity: High]
If downstream delegates like perf_event__convert_sample_callchain use
evsel->core.attr.sample_type to parse the event, will they expect register
data that is no longer present in new_event?

Since we restored the original attributes before calling the delegate, could
this read past the end of new_event and cause data corruption?

Should we restore the attributes after the delegate returns?

[Severity: High]
When processing inline attributes in pipe mode, this strips the register flags
before delegating to perf_event__repipe_attr(). 

When subsequent PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events arrive from the input pipe, will
evsel__parse_sample() use this stripped evsel to parse the unstripped raw
input buffer? Could this cause the parser to misinterpret the unread register
data as subsequent fields and drop the samples?

[Severity: Medium]
If zalloc() or hashmap__add() fails here, the error is silently ignored.

When aslr_tool__process_sample() later fails the hashmap lookup, it will fall
back to an evsel->core.attr.sample_type that lacks the register flags. Will
parsing the unstripped raw kernel sample array with this stripped mask cause
the manual parser to desynchronize and misinterpret the unread register data?

[PATCH v9 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that hardens
perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Detailed Mechanism of MMAP Mapping and ASLR virtual Address Allocation:

The ASLR tool virtualizes the address space of the recorded processes by
intercepting MMAP and MMAP2 events to build a consistent translation
database, which is subsequently used to rewrite sample addresses.

It maintains two primary lookup databases using hash maps:
1. 'remap_addresses': Maps an original mapping key to its new remapped
   base address. The key uses a topological invariant coordinates:
   (machine, dso, invariant). The invariant is computed as (start - pgoff)
   for DSO-backed mappings. This invariant remains constant even when
   perf's internal overlap-resolution splits a VMA into fragmented
   pieces, ensuring split maps resolve consistently back to the same
   remapped base.
2. 'top_addresses': Tracks the allocation state per process (machine, pid).
   It maintains 'remapped_max' (the highest allocated address in the
   virtualized space) and 'orig_last_end' (the end address of the last
   processed original mapping).

For each MMAP/MMAP2 event:
- We look up the DSO and invariant key in 'remap_addresses'. If found, we
  reuse the translation, preserving the offset within the mapping.
- If not found, we allocate a new remapped address space:
  - If the new mapping is contiguous to the previous one in the original
    address space (start == orig_last_end), we place it contiguously in
    the remapped space. This is critical to preserve the contiguity of
    mappings for downstream merging (e.g. symbols split by HugeTLB, or
    anonymous .bss segments adjacent to initialized data).
  - If not contiguous, we insert a 1-page gap (using page_size) from the
    previous maximum allocated address to prevent accidental merging of
    unrelated VMAs.
- The event's start address (and pgoff for kernel maps) is rewritten,
  and the event is delegated to the output writer.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced with shell test ('inject_aslr.sh').

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1). During development, a core map
indexing issue was identified and resolved to prevent concurrent
lookup data races during session analysis.

Changes since v8:

- Split the large "Add aslr tool" commit into two patches:
  - Patch 2: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking
  - Patch 3: Implement sample address remapping
- Address Sashiko and internal feedback.

[PATCH v9 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

This patch introduces maps__mutate_mapping() to safely update map boundaries
under a write lock. It also adds maps__load_maps() to pre-load kernel symbol
maps up front, aiming to avoid recursive read-to-write self-deadlocks during
lazy symbol loading.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this expose a recursive read-to-write self-deadlock if maps__load_maps()
fails?

If the maps_copy allocation in maps__load_maps() fails with -ENOMEM, it
returns early and leaves the maps unloaded. Because the return value is
ignored here, execution proceeds to maps__for_each_map() which takes a read
lock. When it attempts to lazy-load the unloaded maps, it will call
maps__mutate_mapping() which attempts to acquire the write lock, triggering
the deadlock.

Is there also a race window between these two calls?

If a concurrent thread inserts a new map after maps__load_maps() releases
its lock, but before or during maps__for_each_map(), the new unloaded map
will be iterated over under the read lock.

Would this again trigger the same self-deadlock when lazy loading calls
maps__mutate_mapping()?

[PATCH v9 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

Re: [PATCH v9 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Breakpoint addresses and register masks leak when `--itrace` is combined with `--aslr` in pipe mode due to missing attribute zeroing.
- [High] Auxiliary trace events (`auxtrace`, `auxtrace_info`, `auxtrace_error`) are silently dropped when `--aslr` is used, breaking `--itrace` decoding.

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking
    
If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

[Severity: High]
Does this alternative synthesis path for itrace also need to clear bp_addr,
sample_regs_user, and sample_regs_intr?

When perf inject is run in pipe mode with both the aslr and itrace options,
perf_event__repipe_attr takes this path. The non-itrace path correctly clears 
the breakpoint addresses and register masks for ASLR sanitization, but this 
path only masks the sample type.

Could this leak sensitive kernel virtual addresses encoded in breakpoint 
attributes into the output stream, bypassing the ASLR protections?

[Severity: High]
Will overwriting the auxtrace delegate callbacks cause silent data loss?

The auxtrace, auxtrace_info, and auxtrace_error callbacks are overridden here 
with internal stubs. As seen in aslr_tool__process_auxtrace above, the stub 
consumes the pipe data but returns without forwarding the event to the 
delegate tool.

Does this mean raw hardware traces like Intel PT are silently dropped, 
preventing them from reaching perf_event__process_auxtrace to generate 
synthetic samples? This looks like it would break itrace decoding.

[PATCH v9 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[Ian Rogers]

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw,
register, stack, physical address, and aux samples.

Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

Re: [PATCH v9 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Direct access to fields of the reference-counted `struct thread` breaks the build when `REFCNT_CHECKING` is enabled.
- [High] Double-swapping of `PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK` flags corrupts branch data when analyzing cross-endian perf.data files.

perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

This commit adds the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. It
parses sample events and remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks
using the mappings collected from metadata events.

[Severity: High]
Will this direct field access break the build when REFCNT_CHECKING is enabled?

When perf is built with REFCNT_CHECKING=1 for ASAN or LSAN builds, the thread
struct is wrapped in an opaque pointer, hiding the actual fields. Direct access
to maps and pid_ usually causes compilation failures under these builds. 
Should this use the proper thread__maps() and thread__pid() accessors instead?

[Severity: High]
Does this second call to evsel__parse_sample() corrupt branch stack flags
when analyzing cross-endian perf.data files?

The initial event processing loop calls evsel__parse_sample() on the original
event, which mutates the event array in place by swapping the branch stack
flags. 

When the already-mutated, native-endian payload is copied into new_event here,
calling evsel__parse_sample() a second time will bitfield-swap the flags
again. Does this inadvertently restore the original foreign-endian layout and
feed corrupted branch flags to the downstream delegate tool?

[PATCH v9 4/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test  to verify the
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for  piped into .
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of  output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload
  to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow inside kernel
  privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions to
catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

perf test: Add inject ASLR test

Add a new shell test to verify the feature. The test covers basic address
remapping for user space samples, pipe mode coverage, callchain address
remapping, report consistency, and kernel address remapping.

[Severity: Low]
Does this code execute the cleanup function twice? The script registers
cleanup on the EXIT trap, but explicitly calls it here right before exit.
If a test fails, could this result in the failure message being printed twice,
or if tests succeed, might it attempt to remove the temporary directory
a second time?

[PATCH v9 5/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated
tool is handling the data. struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the
original perf_event_attr values and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs
hashmap.

This allows us to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped because
they contain registers, while still obfuscating the registers.

Re: [PATCH v9 5/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Critical] Allocating `stripped_event` using unvalidated `event->header.size` and unconditionally writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` causes a severe heap buffer overflow.
- [High] Missing register stripping in the `itrace`-enabled path of `perf_event__repipe_attr` corrupts the trace output.

perf aslr: Strip sample registers

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated
tool is handling the data. struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the
original perf_event_attr values and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs
hashmap.

[Severity: Critical]
Can this write out of bounds and corrupt the heap?

In perf_event__repipe_attr(), stripped_event is allocated using
event->header.size. For older perf.data formats (like PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0),
the size can be as small as 72 bytes.

However, sample_regs_user and sample_regs_intr are at offsets 88 and 104 in
the perf_event_attr structure. Writing to these fields unconditionally on a
72-byte allocation will corrupt the heap when processing older traces.

[Severity: High]
Also in perf_event__repipe_attr(), when itrace_synth_opts.set is true,
should the register bits and masks be cleared from the synthesized attr?

When --itrace and --aslr are used together in pipe mode, the code branches to
the itrace_synth_opts.set path in perf_event__repipe_attr():

perf_event__repipe_attr() {
    ...
    if (!inject->itrace_synth_opts.set) {
        /* registers are stripped in this branch */
    }
    ...
    attr.sample_type &= ~PERF_SAMPLE_AUX;
    if (inject->aslr)
        attr.sample_type &= ASLR_SUPPORTED_SAMPLE_TYPE;
    /* register clearing is missing here */
    ...
    perf_event__synthesize_attr(...)
}

This patch strips the repiped samples of their register payloads via
aslr_tool__process_sample(), but the itrace path above leaves the register
flags in the attr event.

This mismatch between the attr event and the payload can corrupt the output
pipe trace and cause parsers to fail.

[PATCH v10 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that hardens
perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Detailed Mechanism of MMAP Mapping and ASLR virtual Address Allocation:

The ASLR tool virtualizes the address space of the recorded processes by
intercepting MMAP and MMAP2 events to build a consistent translation
database, which is subsequently used to rewrite sample addresses.

It maintains two primary lookup databases using hash maps:
1. 'remap_addresses': Maps an original mapping key to its new remapped
   base address. The key uses topological invariant coordinates:
   (machine, dso, invariant). The invariant is computed as (start - pgoff)
   for DSO-backed mappings. This invariant remains constant even when
   perf's internal overlap-resolution splits a VMA into fragmented
   pieces, ensuring split maps resolve consistently back to the same
   remapped base.
2. 'top_addresses': Tracks the allocation state per process (machine, pid).
   It maintains 'remapped_max' (the highest allocated address in the
   virtualized space) and 'orig_last_end' (the end address of the last
   processed original mapping).

For each MMAP/MMAP2 event:
- We look up the DSO and invariant key in 'remap_addresses'. If found, we
  reuse the translation, preserving the offset within the mapping.
- If not found, we allocate a new remapped address space:
  - If the new mapping is contiguous to the previous one in the original
    address space (start == orig_last_end), we place it contiguously in
    the remapped space. This is critical to preserve the contiguity of
    mappings for downstream merging (e.g. symbols split by HugeTLB, or
    anonymous .bss segments adjacent to initialized data).
  - If not contiguous, we insert a 1-page gap (using page_size) from the
    previous maximum allocated address to prevent accidental merging of
    unrelated VMAs.
- The event's start address (and pgoff for kernel maps) is rewritten,
  and the event is delegated to the output writer.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced with shell test ('inject_aslr.sh').

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1). During development, a core map
indexing issue was identified and resolved to prevent concurrent
lookup data races during session analysis.

Changes since v9:
- Patch 1: Added `-ENOMEM` error check inside
  `maps__find_symbol_by_name()` and return `NULL` early. Added map
  sorting state invalidation on early return in `maps__load_maps()`.
- Patch 2: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()`. Added
  `pr_warning_once` warning when raw auxtrace data is dropped.
- Patch 3: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__remap_address()`. Wrapped
  `evsel__parse_sample()` to temporarily disable `needs_swap` to avoid
  branch stack endianness corruption on cross-endian files. Fixed ISO
  C90 warning for declaration-after-statement for `orig_needs_swap`.
- Patch 4: Fixed duplicate cleanup by explicitly removing trap
  handlers (`trap - EXIT TERM INT`) inside the `cleanup()` function.
- Patch 5: Fixed heap corruption by adding size bounds checking before
  writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` fields. Added
  missing register mask clearing logic for the `itrace` synthesis path
  of `perf_event__repipe_attr()`.

[PATCH v10 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

Re: [PATCH v10 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Data race and logical corruption by modifying map sorting flags under a read lock on the memory allocation error path in `maps__load_maps()`.
- [High] A single module load failure in `maps__load_maps()` causes `maps__find_symbol_by_name()` to abort the entire symbol lookup.
- [High] The lockless map pre-loading exposes a TOCTOU race that still leads to the read-to-write recursive self-deadlock.

perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

This patch introduces maps__mutate_mapping() to apply map boundary mutations
under a write lock to fix a concurrent lookup race. It also introduces
maps__load_maps() to pre-load modules and bypass dynamic runtime mutations
to prevent read-to-write self-deadlocks.

[Severity: High]
Does this code create a data race by modifying shared state under a read
lock?

We only hold the down_read() semaphore here, but we are writing to the
shared boolean flags.

Also, since the memory allocation failed and no maps were actually mutated,
is it necessary to invalidate the sorted state? This seems like it will
unnecessarily force future readers to acquire a write lock to re-sort an
already sorted array.

[Severity: High]
Will a single module load failure cause this to abort the entire symbol lookup?

If maps__load_maps() encounters a single failure (for example, due to a missing
kernel module debuginfo), it propagates an error of -1.

By returning NULL immediately here, don't we bypass searching all the
successfully loaded modules? Previously, individual map load failures
were silently skipped, allowing the search to gracefully continue.


[Severity: High]
Can a concurrent insertion defeat this lockless pre-loading and still trigger
the recursive self-deadlock?

maps__load_maps() drops the read lock after copying the map pointers. What
happens if a concurrent thread inserts a new, unloaded kernel map right
after maps__load_maps() returns, but before maps__for_each_map() executes?

It looks like maps__for_each_map() would then iterate over the newly inserted
map, invoke map__load() while holding the down_read() lock, and trigger
maps__mutate_mapping().

Won't maps__mutate_mapping() then unconditionally attempt to acquire the
down_write() lock, triggering the exact read-to-write self-deadlock this
patch intends to fix?

[PATCH v10 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

[PATCH v10 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[Ian Rogers]

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw,
register, stack, physical address, and aux samples.

Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

Re: [PATCH v10 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] aslr_tool__process_sample disables needs_swap when parsing new_event, causing 32-bit sample fields (like PID and TID) to be swapped during cross-endian analysis, which silently breaks downstream sample processing like build ID injection.

perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

This patch introduces the logic for aslr_tool__process_sample to parse sample
events and remap addresses using mapping metadata. It filters out specific
sample types to prevent ASLR leaks and delegates the modified sample to the
next tool.

[Severity: High]
Does disabling evsel->needs_swap here break 32-bit fields when processing
cross-endian perf.data files?

When processing a cross-endian perf.data file, the core perf session loop
blindly 64-bit swaps the sample array before invoking the tool callback. For
fields containing packed 32-bit values (like PERF_SAMPLE_TID containing pid
and tid), the 64-bit swap reverses their order in memory.

evsel__parse_sample() normally corrects this by undoing the 64-bit swap and
reswapping the 32-bit words if evsel->needs_swap is true. By explicitly
setting it to false in aslr_tool__process_sample(), we bypass this 32-bit
unswapping logic. Could this cause new_sample.pid to receive the TID and
new_sample.tid to receive the PID (and similarly for PERF_SAMPLE_CPU)?

If these fields are swapped, wouldn't this silently break downstream sample
processing, such as build ID injection failing to find the correct thread
because the PID is completely invalid?

[PATCH v10 4/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test  to verify the
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for  piped into .
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of  output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload
  to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow inside kernel
  privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions to
catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

Re: [PATCH v10 4/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The trap and cleanup logic incorrectly clobbers the script's exit status (`$?`), preventing the temporary directory from being preserved on unexpected script failure.

perf test: Add inject ASLR test

This commit adds a new shell test suite for validating the perf inject
ASLR feature. It provides coverage for basic address remapping, pipe
mode processing, callchain normalization, and report consistency across
both user space and kernel workloads.

> +cleanup() {
> +  trap - EXIT TERM INT
> +  local exit_code=$?

[Severity: Medium]
Does this code accidentally clobber the exit status? The command 
trap - EXIT TERM INT will execute successfully and set $? to 0. That 0 is 
then saved into exit_code, masking the original failure status that 
triggered the cleanup.

> +  if [ "${exit_code}" -ne 0 ] || [ "${err}" -ne 0 ]; then
> +    echo "Test failed! Preserving temp directory: ${temp_dir}"

> +  fi

> +  fi
> +}
> +
> +trap_cleanup() {
> +  echo "Unexpected signal in ${FUNCNAME[1]}"
> +  cleanup

[Severity: Medium]
Similarly, does the echo command here overwrite the actual script
failure status in $? before cleanup is invoked? If so, this would
prevent the temporary directory from being preserved as intended
during an unexpected failure, making debugging test failures more
difficult.

[PATCH v10 5/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated
tool is handling the data. struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the
original perf_event_attr values and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs
hashmap.

This allows us to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped because
they contain registers, while still obfuscating the registers.

[PATCH v11 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that hardens
perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Detailed Mechanism of MMAP Mapping and ASLR virtual Address Allocation:

The ASLR tool virtualizes the address space of the recorded processes by
intercepting MMAP and MMAP2 events to build a consistent translation
database, which is subsequently used to rewrite sample addresses.

It maintains two primary lookup databases using hash maps:
1. 'remap_addresses': Maps an original mapping key to its new remapped
   base address. The key uses topological invariant coordinates:
   (machine, dso, invariant). The invariant is computed as (start - pgoff)
   for DSO-backed mappings. This invariant remains constant even when
   perf's internal overlap-resolution splits a VMA into fragmented
   pieces, ensuring split maps resolve consistently back to the same
   remapped base.
2. 'top_addresses': Tracks the allocation state per process (machine, pid).
   It maintains 'remapped_max' (the highest allocated address in the
   virtualized space) and 'orig_last_end' (the end address of the last
   processed original mapping).

For each MMAP/MMAP2 event:
- We look up the DSO and invariant key in 'remap_addresses'. If found, we
  reuse the translation, preserving the offset within the mapping.
- If not found, we allocate a new remapped address space:
  - If the new mapping is contiguous to the previous one in the original
    address space (start == orig_last_end), we place it contiguously in
    the remapped space. This is critical to preserve the contiguity of
    mappings for downstream merging (e.g. symbols split by HugeTLB, or
    anonymous .bss segments adjacent to initialized data).
  - If not contiguous, we insert a 1-page gap (using page_size) from the
    previous maximum allocated address to prevent accidental merging of
    unrelated VMAs.
- The event's start address (and pgoff for kernel maps) is rewritten,
  and the event is delegated to the output writer.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced with shell test ('inject_aslr.sh').

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1). During development, a core map
indexing issue was identified and resolved to prevent concurrent
lookup data races during session analysis.

Changes since v10:
- Patch 1: Added explicit tracking array logic in maps__load_maps() to correctly
  accumulate valid maps (skipping NULL entries after failures) and safely return
  the exact populated count, resolving out-of-bounds pointer iteration panics.
- Patch 3: Fixed endianness bug during cross-endian sample parsing by passing
  evsel->needs_swap instead of false to __evsel__parse_sample in aslr.c, ensuring
  correct 32-bit field byte unswapping for packed fields. Refactored
  evsel__parse_sample to take a needs_swap argument via __evsel__parse_sample.
- Patch 4: Fixed inject_aslr.sh exit code handling in trap functions to capture
  and propagate the correct pipeline failure status code instead of unconditionally
  returning success or failing the test.

Changes since v9:
- Patch 1: Added `-ENOMEM` error check inside
  `maps__find_symbol_by_name()` and return `NULL` early. Added map
  sorting state invalidation on early return in `maps__load_maps()`.
- Patch 2: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()`. Added
  `pr_warning_once` warning when raw auxtrace data is dropped.
- Patch 3: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__remap_address()`. Wrapped
  `evsel__parse_sample()` to temporarily disable `needs_swap` to avoid
  branch stack endianness corruption on cross-endian files. Fixed ISO
  C90 warning for declaration-after-statement for `orig_needs_swap`.
- Patch 4: Fixed duplicate cleanup by explicitly removing trap
  handlers (`trap - EXIT TERM INT`) inside the `cleanup()` function.
- Patch 5: Fixed heap corruption by adding size bounds checking before
  writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` fields. Added
  missing register mask clearing logic for the `itrace` synthesis path
  of `perf_event__repipe_attr()`.

[PATCH v11 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

This patch introduces maps__mutate_mapping() to safely perform field updates
under lock protection, resolving a concurrent lookup race window. It also
adds maps__load_maps() to pre-load all kernel symbol maps up front at startup
to avoid deadlocks.

[Severity: Low]
Does this cause a build failure? It looks like struct dso does not expose
a name field directly. Should this use an accessor function like
dso__name(map__dso(maps_copy[i])) or dso__short_name() instead to retrieve
the name string?

[PATCH v11 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

Re: [PATCH v11 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] `remap_addresses__hash` hashes the RC pointer handle for `dso` directly, breaking hashmap lookups when `REFCNT_CHECKING` is enabled.

perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

This patch adds an --aslr option to perf inject that remaps virtual
addresses to prevent ASLR leaks when transferring perf.data files. It
introduces the core remapping infrastructure and implements tracking for
metadata events.

[Severity: High]
Will this hash function work correctly when REFCNT_CHECKING is enabled?

The struct dso is reference-counted. Under REFCNT_CHECKING (such as when
built with ASAN/LSAN), dso__get() allocates and returns a completely new
pointer handle.

Because the pointer handle itself is hashed here rather than the underlying
object, two handles pointing to the same dso will hash to different buckets.

Since aslr_tool__findnew_mapping() acquires a new reference via dso__get()
before insertion, hashmap__find() will systematically fail to locate
previously inserted keys. This breaks the ASLR remapping lookup and causes
memory leaks.

Should this resolve the underlying pointer before hashing, for example by
using RC_CHK_ACCESS(key->dso) or similar?

[PATCH v11 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[Ian Rogers]

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw,
register, stack, physical address, and aux samples.

Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

[PATCH v11 4/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test  to verify the
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for  piped into .
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of  output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload
  to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow inside kernel
  privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions to
catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

[PATCH v11 5/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated
tool is handling the data. struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the
original perf_event_attr values and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs
hashmap.

This allows us to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped because
they contain registers, while still obfuscating the registers.

[PATCH v12 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that hardens
perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Detailed Mechanism of MMAP Mapping and ASLR virtual Address Allocation:

The ASLR tool virtualizes the address space of the recorded processes by
intercepting MMAP and MMAP2 events to build a consistent translation
database, which is subsequently used to rewrite sample addresses.

It maintains two primary lookup databases using hash maps:
1. 'remap_addresses': Maps an original mapping key to its new remapped
   base address. The key uses topological invariant coordinates:
   (machine, dso, invariant). The invariant is computed as (start - pgoff)
   for DSO-backed mappings. This invariant remains constant even when
   perf's internal overlap-resolution splits a VMA into fragmented
   pieces, ensuring split maps resolve consistently back to the same
   remapped base.
2. 'top_addresses': Tracks the allocation state per process (machine, pid).
   It maintains 'remapped_max' (the highest allocated address in the
   virtualized space) and 'orig_last_end' (the end address of the last
   processed original mapping).

For each MMAP/MMAP2 event:
- We look up the DSO and invariant key in 'remap_addresses'. If found, we
  reuse the translation, preserving the offset within the mapping.
- If not found, we allocate a new remapped address space:
  - If the new mapping is contiguous to the previous one in the original
    address space (start == orig_last_end), we place it contiguously in
    the remapped space. This is critical to preserve the contiguity of
    mappings for downstream merging (e.g. symbols split by HugeTLB, or
    anonymous .bss segments adjacent to initialized data).
  - If not contiguous, we insert a 1-page gap (using page_size) from the
    previous maximum allocated address to prevent accidental merging of
    unrelated VMAs.
- The event's start address (and pgoff for kernel maps) is rewritten,
  and the event is delegated to the output writer.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced with shell test ('inject_aslr.sh').

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1). During development, a core map
indexing issue was identified and resolved to prevent concurrent
lookup data races during session analysis.

Changes since v11:
- Patch 1: Fixed struct dso name accessor in maps.c by using dso__name() instead of ->name.
- Patch 2: Fixed hash function in aslr.c to hash the underlying dso pointer using RC_CHK_ACCESS to support reference count checking.

Changes since v10:
- Patch 1: Added explicit tracking array logic in maps__load_maps() to correctly
  accumulate valid maps (skipping NULL entries after failures) and safely return
  the exact populated count, resolving out-of-bounds pointer iteration panics.
- Patch 3: Fixed endianness bug during cross-endian sample parsing by passing
  evsel->needs_swap instead of false to __evsel__parse_sample in aslr.c, ensuring
  correct 32-bit field byte unswapping for packed fields. Refactored
  evsel__parse_sample to take a needs_swap argument via __evsel__parse_sample.
- Patch 4: Fixed inject_aslr.sh exit code handling in trap functions to capture
  and propagate the correct pipeline failure status code instead of unconditionally
  returning success or failing the test.

Changes since v9:
- Patch 1: Added `-ENOMEM` error check inside
  `maps__find_symbol_by_name()` and return `NULL` early. Added map
  sorting state invalidation on early return in `maps__load_maps()`.
- Patch 2: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()`. Added
  `pr_warning_once` warning when raw auxtrace data is dropped.
- Patch 3: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__remap_address()`. Wrapped
  `evsel__parse_sample()` to temporarily disable `needs_swap` to avoid
  branch stack endianness corruption on cross-endian files. Fixed ISO
  C90 warning for declaration-after-statement for `orig_needs_swap`.
- Patch 4: Fixed duplicate cleanup by explicitly removing trap
  handlers (`trap - EXIT TERM INT`) inside the `cleanup()` function.
- Patch 5: Fixed heap corruption by adding size bounds checking before
  writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` fields. Added
  missing register mask clearing logic for the `itrace` synthesis path
  of `perf_event__repipe_attr()`.

[PATCH v12 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

[PATCH v12 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

Re: [PATCH v12 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Dereferencing a NULL pointer in the hashmap hash function when built with REFCNT_CHECKING.
- [Medium] Hardcoded 64-bit kernel address breaks cross-platform analysis for 32-bit architectures.

perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events.

[Severity: High]
Does this code crash when built with REFCNT_CHECKING?

In aslr_tool__findnew_mapping(), if thread__find_map() fails, the fallback
code explicitly sets remap_key.dso to NULL:

	} else {
		remap_key.dso = NULL;
		remap_key.invariant = start;
	}

When this key is passed to hashmap__find(), the hash function
remap_addresses__hash() uses RC_CHK_ACCESS(key->dso).

When perf is built with REFCNT_CHECKING (e.g., via Address Sanitizer),
RC_CHK_ACCESS(object) expands strictly to object->orig. Since key->dso is
NULL, this expands to NULL->orig, resulting in an unconditional segmentation
fault when processing unmapped or anonymous memory events.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this hardcoded 64-bit kernel address break cross-platform analysis for
32-bit architectures?

The code hardcodes kernel_space_start to 0xffff800010000000 and
unconditionally applies it to any mapping with a kernel cpumode.

If perf inject --aslr is run on a perf.data file collected from a 32-bit
machine, this will inject 64-bit virtual addresses into the output stream.

Downstream analysis tools expecting 32-bit address spaces based on the ELF
e_machine type might encounter out-of-bounds addresses and fail.

Should the tool dynamically determine the architecture's address space bounds
via struct perf_env instead?

[PATCH v12 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[Ian Rogers]

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw,
register, stack, physical address, and aux samples.

Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

[PATCH v12 4/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test  to verify the
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for  piped into .
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of  output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload
  to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow inside kernel
  privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions to
catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

[PATCH v12 5/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated
tool is handling the data. struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the
original perf_event_attr values and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs
hashmap.

This allows us to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped because
they contain registers, while still obfuscating the registers.

[PATCH v13 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that hardens
perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Detailed Mechanism of MMAP Mapping and ASLR virtual Address Allocation:

The ASLR tool virtualizes the address space of the recorded processes by
intercepting MMAP and MMAP2 events to build a consistent translation
database, which is subsequently used to rewrite sample addresses.

It maintains two primary lookup databases using hash maps:
1. 'remap_addresses': Maps an original mapping key to its new remapped
   base address. The key uses topological invariant coordinates:
   (machine, dso, invariant). The invariant is computed as (start - pgoff)
   for DSO-backed mappings. This invariant remains constant even when
   perf's internal overlap-resolution splits a VMA into fragmented
   pieces, ensuring split maps resolve consistently back to the same
   remapped base.
2. 'top_addresses': Tracks the allocation state per process (machine, pid).
   It maintains 'remapped_max' (the highest allocated address in the
   virtualized space) and 'orig_last_end' (the end address of the last
   processed original mapping).

For each MMAP/MMAP2 event:
- We look up the DSO and invariant key in 'remap_addresses'. If found, we
  reuse the translation, preserving the offset within the mapping.
- If not found, we allocate a new remapped address space:
  - If the new mapping is contiguous to the previous one in the original
    address space (start == orig_last_end), we place it contiguously in
    the remapped space. This is critical to preserve the contiguity of
    mappings for downstream merging (e.g. symbols split by HugeTLB, or
    anonymous .bss segments adjacent to initialized data).
  - If not contiguous, we insert a 1-page gap (using page_size) from the
    previous maximum allocated address to prevent accidental merging of
    unrelated VMAs.
- The event's start address (and pgoff for kernel maps) is rewritten,
  and the event is delegated to the output writer.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced with shell test ('inject_aslr.sh').

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1). During development, a core map
indexing issue was identified and resolved to prevent concurrent
lookup data races during session analysis.

Changes since v12:
- Patch 2: Fixed potential NULL pointer dereference in
  remap_addresses__hash() when handling unmapped memory events (key->dso
  is NULL) under REFCNT_CHECKING.
- Patch 2: Dynamically detect machine architecture bitness via
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit() to select appropriate kernel_space_start
  boundaries, avoiding 64-bit address injection on 32-bit platforms.

Changes since v11:
- Patch 1: Fixed struct dso name accessor in maps.c by using
  dso__name() instead of ->name.
- Patch 2: Fixed hash function in aslr.c to hash the underlying
  dso pointer using RC_CHK_ACCESS to support reference count checking.

Changes since v10:
- Patch 1: Added explicit tracking array logic in maps__load_maps()
  to correctly accumulate valid maps (skipping NULL entries after
  failures) and safely return the exact populated count, resolving
  out-of-bounds pointer iteration panics.
- Patch 3: Fixed endianness bug during cross-endian sample parsing
  by passing evsel->needs_swap instead of false to __evsel__parse_sample
  in aslr.c, ensuring correct 32-bit field byte unswapping for packed
  fields. Refactored evsel__parse_sample to take a needs_swap argument
  via __evsel__parse_sample.
- Patch 4: Fixed inject_aslr.sh exit code handling in trap functions
  to capture and propagate the correct pipeline failure status code
  instead of unconditionally returning success or failing the test.

Changes since v9:
- Patch 1: Added `-ENOMEM` error check inside
  `maps__find_symbol_by_name()` and return `NULL` early. Added map
  sorting state invalidation on early return in `maps__load_maps()`.
- Patch 2: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()`. Added
  `pr_warning_once` warning when raw auxtrace data is dropped.
- Patch 3: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__remap_address()`. Wrapped
  `evsel__parse_sample()` to temporarily disable `needs_swap` to avoid
  branch stack endianness corruption on cross-endian files. Fixed ISO
  C90 warning for declaration-after-statement for `orig_needs_swap`.
- Patch 4: Fixed duplicate cleanup by explicitly removing trap
  handlers (`trap - EXIT TERM INT`) inside the `cleanup()` function.
- Patch 5: Fixed heap corruption by adding size bounds checking before
  writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` fields. Added
  missing register mask clearing logic for the `itrace` synthesis path
  of `perf_event__repipe_attr()`.

[PATCH v13 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

[PATCH v13 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

Re: [PATCH v13 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] Calling `perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit()` with a NULL `env` pointer in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()` causes an immediate crash when processing mmap events.

perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

This patch adds an --aslr option to perf inject to remap virtual addresses
and drop data/events to prevent leaking ASLR information. It implements
remapping and tracking for metadata events.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this crash if env is NULL?

If machine->env is NULL, env is assigned NULL. Passing it to
perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit() will unconditionally dereference it:

tools/perf/util/env.c:perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit() {
	if (env->kernel_is_64_bit == -1)
		perf_env__init_kernel_mode(env);
	...
}

Because machines__init() leaves the host machine's env pointer as NULL,
could this cause a segmentation fault when processing the first mapped event?

[PATCH v13 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[Ian Rogers]

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw,
register, stack, physical address, and aux samples.

Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

[PATCH v13 4/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test  to verify the
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for  piped into .
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of  output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload
  to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow inside kernel
  privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions to
catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

[PATCH v13 5/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated
tool is handling the data. struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the
original perf_event_attr values and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs
hashmap.

This allows us to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped because
they contain registers, while still obfuscating the registers.

perf aslr: Strip sample registers

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated
tool is handling the data.

[Severity: Low]
Are these evsel__reset_sample_bit() calls acting as no-ops?

Because sample_type is already bitwise ANDed with ASLR_SUPPORTED_SAMPLE_TYPE
just above, the bits are cleared before the helper functions are called.

This leaves the internal sample_size state temporarily unsynchronized with
the sample_type flags since evsel__reset_sample_bit() will see the bits
are already cleared and return silently without decrementing sample_size.

[Severity: Low]
If sample_size had actually been modified by the reset helpers in
aslr_tool__strip_evlist(), would it remain corrupted here?

Only the sample_type and registers are restored. If evsel__reset_sample_bit()
had worked as expected and decremented sample_size, the sample_size would
remain incorrect here when the sample_type flags are put back.

[PATCH v14 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that hardens
perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Detailed Mechanism of MMAP Mapping and ASLR virtual Address Allocation:

The ASLR tool virtualizes the address space of the recorded processes by
intercepting MMAP and MMAP2 events to build a consistent translation
database, which is subsequently used to rewrite sample addresses.

It maintains two primary lookup databases using hash maps:
1. 'remap_addresses': Maps an original mapping key to its new remapped
   base address. The key uses topological invariant coordinates:
   (machine, dso, invariant). The invariant is computed as (start - pgoff)
   for DSO-backed mappings. This invariant remains constant even when
   perf's internal overlap-resolution splits a VMA into fragmented
   pieces, ensuring split maps resolve consistently back to the same
   remapped base.
2. 'top_addresses': Tracks the allocation state per process (machine, pid).
   It maintains 'remapped_max' (the highest allocated address in the
   virtualized space) and 'orig_last_end' (the end address of the last
   processed original mapping).

For each MMAP/MMAP2 event:
- We look up the DSO and invariant key in 'remap_addresses'. If found, we
  reuse the translation, preserving the offset within the mapping.
- If not found, we allocate a new remapped address space:
  - If the new mapping is contiguous to the previous one in the original
    address space (start == orig_last_end), we place it contiguously in
    the remapped space. This is critical to preserve the contiguity of
    mappings for downstream merging (e.g. symbols split by HugeTLB, or
    anonymous .bss segments adjacent to initialized data).
  - If not contiguous, we insert a 1-page gap (using page_size) from the
    previous maximum allocated address to prevent accidental merging of
    unrelated VMAs.
- The event's start address (and pgoff for kernel maps) is rewritten,
  and the event is delegated to the output writer.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced with shell test ('inject_aslr.sh').

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1). During development, a core map
indexing issue was identified and resolved to prevent concurrent
lookup data races during session analysis.

Changes since v13:
- Patch 2: Added a NULL check for env before calling
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit(env) to prevent potential segfaults if the
  recorded environment has no headers.
- Patch 5: Fixed sample_size and id_pos going out of sync during
  aslr_tool__strip_evlist() and aslr_tool__restore_evlist(). Instead of
  using evsel__reset_sample_bit(), which was acting as a no-op due to
  early bit clearing and corrupted sample_size, the tool now directly
  updates sample_type and recomputes sample_size/id_pos dynamically.
  Added orig_sample_size to aslr_evsel_priv to correctly restore the
  state.

Changes since v12:
- Patch 2: Fixed potential NULL pointer dereference in
  remap_addresses__hash() when handling unmapped memory events (key->dso
  is NULL) under REFCNT_CHECKING.
- Patch 2: Dynamically detect machine architecture bitness via
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit() to select appropriate kernel_space_start
  boundaries, avoiding 64-bit address injection on 32-bit platforms.

Changes since v11:
- Patch 1: Fixed struct dso name accessor in maps.c by using
  dso__name() instead of ->name.
- Patch 2: Fixed hash function in aslr.c to hash the underlying
  dso pointer using RC_CHK_ACCESS to support reference count checking.

Changes since v10:
- Patch 1: Added explicit tracking array logic in maps__load_maps()
  to correctly accumulate valid maps (skipping NULL entries after
  failures) and safely return the exact populated count, resolving
  out-of-bounds pointer iteration panics.
- Patch 3: Fixed endianness bug during cross-endian sample parsing
  by passing evsel->needs_swap instead of false to __evsel__parse_sample
  in aslr.c, ensuring correct 32-bit field byte unswapping for packed
  fields. Refactored evsel__parse_sample to take a needs_swap argument
  via __evsel__parse_sample.
- Patch 4: Fixed inject_aslr.sh exit code handling in trap functions
  to capture and propagate the correct pipeline failure status code
  instead of unconditionally returning success or failing the test.

Changes since v9:
- Patch 1: Added `-ENOMEM` error check inside
  `maps__find_symbol_by_name()` and return `NULL` early. Added map
  sorting state invalidation on early return in `maps__load_maps()`.
- Patch 2: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()`. Added
  `pr_warning_once` warning when raw auxtrace data is dropped.
- Patch 3: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__remap_address()`. Wrapped
  `evsel__parse_sample()` to temporarily disable `needs_swap` to avoid
  branch stack endianness corruption on cross-endian files. Fixed ISO
  C90 warning for declaration-after-statement for `orig_needs_swap`.
- Patch 4: Fixed duplicate cleanup by explicitly removing trap
  handlers (`trap - EXIT TERM INT`) inside the `cleanup()` function.
- Patch 5: Fixed heap corruption by adding size bounds checking before
  writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` fields. Added
  missing register mask clearing logic for the `itrace` synthesis path
  of `perf_event__repipe_attr()`.

[PATCH v14 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

[PATCH v14 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

Re: [PATCH v14 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The ASLR tool fails to remap the `pgoff` field for user-space anonymous `MMAP` and `MMAP2` events, leaking original randomized virtual addresses.
- [High] The tool leaks kernel ASLR addresses through unhandled `kprobe_addr` and `kprobe_func` fields in `perf_event_attr`.

perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

[Severity: High]
Does this code leak kernel ASLR addresses through unhandled kprobe_addr and
kprobe_func fields?

For dynamic PMUs like perf_kprobe and perf_uprobe, attr.type is assigned a
dynamic identifier rather than a fixed constant like PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT.
The perf_event_attr struct utilizes the same config1 and config2 union fields
to store kprobe_func/uprobe_path and kprobe_addr/probe_offset.

If this only checks for PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT, it fails to scrub these union
fields for kprobe events, which could leak exact kernel ASLR addresses and
perf record process pointers into the output perf.data file's attribute
headers.

[Severity: High]
Does this fail to remap the pgoff field for user-space anonymous MMAP events,
potentially leaking original randomized virtual addresses?

The Linux kernel's perf_event_mmap_event() function unconditionally sets
pgoff = (u64)vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT for all mappings. For anonymous
mappings ([anon], [stack], [heap]), vma->vm_pgoff is initialized as
addr >> PAGE_SHIFT, meaning pgoff literally contains the original randomized
virtual address.

If pgoff is copied verbatim from the original event for user-space mappings, it
could directly leak the original ASLR addresses into the output perf.data file.

[Severity: High]
Can this similarly leak original randomized virtual addresses for MMAP2 events?

Like with aslr_tool__process_mmap() above, skipping the pgoff remapping for
user-space anonymous mappings here leaves the original ASLR addresses
unmodified.

[PATCH v14 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[Ian Rogers]

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw,
register, stack, physical address, and aux samples.

Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

This commit adds sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. It parses
sample events, remaps IPs, addresses, callchains, and branch stacks, and
filters out potential leak sources like raw samples.

[Severity: Medium]
On cross-endian hosts, does calling evsel__parse_sample() here corrupt the
branch stack flags?

The initial pipeline already called evsel__parse_sample() on the original
event, which performs an in-place bitfield swap on the branch stack flags
to match the host layout when evsel->needs_swap is true.

When aslr_tool__process_sample() copies these already-swapped flags into
the new event array and then calls evsel__parse_sample() a second time on
the new event, won't this trigger the in-place bitfield swap again?

This double-swap would revert the flags back to the file endianness layout
within a host-endian output file, potentially corrupting branch stack
metadata (like mispredicts or cycles) for downstream tools.

[PATCH v14 4/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test  to verify the
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for  piped into .
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of  output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload
  to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow inside kernel
  privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions to
catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

Re: [PATCH v14 4/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The kernel workload for sampling (`dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=500`) executes too quickly on modern systems, risking 0 kernel samples and causing flaky test failures.

perf test: Add inject ASLR test

This commit adds a new shell test inject_aslr.sh to verify ASLR address
remapping. The test validates sample generation and address remapping
across basic operations, pipe modes, callchains, and kernel sampling.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this workload execute too quickly on modern systems?

The command transfers 500MB in 1MB chunks, resulting in only 1000 syscalls
which could complete in just a few milliseconds.

With perf record defaulting to a ~4000Hz sampling rate, a workload completing
this fast might generate very few or exactly 0 task-clock:k samples,
potentially causing flaky test failures.

Could we replace this with a syscall-bound workload, like using the default
512B block size with a larger count, to ensure consistent kernel execution
time irrespective of memory bandwidth?

[PATCH v14 5/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated
tool is handling the data. struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the
original perf_event_attr values and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs
hashmap.

This allows us to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped because
they contain registers, while still obfuscating the registers.

[PATCH v15 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that hardens
perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Detailed Mechanism of MMAP Mapping and ASLR virtual Address Allocation:

The ASLR tool virtualizes the address space of the recorded processes by
intercepting MMAP and MMAP2 events to build a consistent translation
database, which is subsequently used to rewrite sample addresses.

It maintains two primary lookup databases using hash maps:
1. 'remap_addresses': Maps an original mapping key to its new remapped
   base address. The key uses topological invariant coordinates:
   (machine, dso, invariant). The invariant is computed as (start - pgoff)
   for DSO-backed mappings. This invariant remains constant even when
   perf's internal overlap-resolution splits a VMA into fragmented
   pieces, ensuring split maps resolve consistently back to the same
   remapped base.
2. 'top_addresses': Tracks the allocation state per process (machine, pid).
   It maintains 'remapped_max' (the highest allocated address in the
   virtualized space).

For each MMAP/MMAP2 event:
- We look up the DSO and invariant key in 'remap_addresses'. If found, we
  reuse the translation, preserving the offset within the mapping.
- If not found, we allocate a new remapped address space:
  - We use thread__find_map to look up the mapping immediately preceding
    the new one in the original address space (at start - 1). If the preceding
    mapping was also remapped, we place the new mapping contiguously after it in
    the remapped space. This preserves contiguity of split mappings (e.g., symbols
    split by HugeTLB, or anonymous .bss segments adjacent to initialized data).
  - If no contiguous mapping is found, we insert a 1-page gap from the
    highest allocated address (remapped_max) to prevent accidental merging of
    unrelated VMAs.
- The event's start address (and pgoff for kernel maps) is rewritten,
  and the event is delegated to the output writer.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced with shell test ('inject_aslr.sh').

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1). During development, a core map
indexing issue was identified and resolved to prevent concurrent
lookup data races during session analysis.

Changes since v14:
- Patch 2: Removed unnecessary vertical whitespace in builtin-inject.c.
- Patch 2: Added comments explaining why pgoff is assigned for
  anonymous memory maps to prevent ASLR leaks.
- Patch 2: Removed orig_last_end tracking and refactored contiguous mapping
  detection to use thread__find_map(..., start - 1, ...) based on Gabriel's
  feedback.
- Patch 2: Scrub kprobe/uprobe event config1 and config2 fields to prevent
  address leaks.
- Patch 2: Overwrite pgoff with the remapped start address for anonymous
  mappings (detected via is_anon_memory and is_no_dso_memory).
- Patch 3: Fix C90 mixed declaration error for orig_needs_swap.
- Patch 3: Temporarily disable evsel->needs_swap during the secondary
  evsel__parse_sample() call to prevent branch stack double-swapping bugs.

Changes since v13:
- Patch 2: Added a NULL check for env before calling
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit(env) to prevent potential segfaults if the
  recorded environment has no headers.
- Patch 5: Fixed sample_size and id_pos going out of sync during
  aslr_tool__strip_evlist() and aslr_tool__restore_evlist(). Instead of
  using evsel__reset_sample_bit(), which was acting as a no-op due to
  early bit clearing and corrupted sample_size, the tool now directly
  updates sample_type and recomputes sample_size/id_pos dynamically.
  Added orig_sample_size to aslr_evsel_priv to correctly restore the
  state.

Changes since v12:
- Patch 2: Fixed potential NULL pointer dereference in
  remap_addresses__hash() when handling unmapped memory events (key->dso
  is NULL) under REFCNT_CHECKING.
- Patch 2: Dynamically detect machine architecture bitness via
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit() to select appropriate kernel_space_start
  boundaries, avoiding 64-bit address injection on 32-bit platforms.

Changes since v11:
- Patch 1: Fixed struct dso name accessor in maps.c by using
  dso__name() instead of ->name.
- Patch 2: Fixed hash function in aslr.c to hash the underlying
  dso pointer using RC_CHK_ACCESS to support reference count checking.

Changes since v10:
- Patch 1: Added explicit tracking array logic in maps__load_maps()
  to correctly accumulate valid maps (skipping NULL entries after
  failures) and safely return the exact populated count, resolving
  out-of-bounds pointer iteration panics.
- Patch 3: Fixed endianness bug during cross-endian sample parsing
  by passing evsel->needs_swap instead of false to __evsel__parse_sample
  in aslr.c, ensuring correct 32-bit field byte unswapping for packed
  fields. Refactored evsel__parse_sample to take a needs_swap argument
  via __evsel__parse_sample.
- Patch 4: Fixed inject_aslr.sh exit code handling in trap functions
  to capture and propagate the correct pipeline failure status code
  instead of unconditionally returning success or failing the test.

Changes since v9:
- Patch 1: Added `-ENOMEM` error check inside
  `maps__find_symbol_by_name()` and return `NULL` early. Added map
  sorting state invalidation on early return in `maps__load_maps()`.
- Patch 2: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()`. Added
  `pr_warning_once` warning when raw auxtrace data is dropped.
- Patch 3: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__remap_address()`. Wrapped
  `evsel__parse_sample()` to temporarily disable `needs_swap` to avoid
  branch stack endianness corruption on cross-endian files. Fixed ISO
  C90 warning for declaration-after-statement for `orig_needs_swap`.
- Patch 4: Fixed duplicate cleanup by explicitly removing trap
  handlers (`trap - EXIT TERM INT`) inside the `cleanup()` function.
- Patch 5: Fixed heap corruption by adding size bounds checking before
  writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` fields. Added
  missing register mask clearing logic for the `itrace` synthesis path
  of `perf_event__repipe_attr()`.

[PATCH v15 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

[PATCH v15 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

Re: [PATCH v15 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Unvalidated writes to `config1` and `config2` in `perf_event__repipe_attr` cause a heap buffer overflow for older ABI events.
- [High] Asymmetric computation for kernel mappings without an associated DSO causes massive address overflows on lookup.

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

This patch adds an ASLR tool to perf inject, allowing it to remap virtual
addresses or drop sensitive data to prevent leaking a machine's ASLR layout
when sharing perf.data files. It implements core ASLR remapping and tracking
for metadata events like MMAP, FORK, and KSYMBOL. Sample events are
currently delegated without remapping.

[Severity: High]
Does this code risk a heap buffer overflow for older ABI events?

In perf_event__repipe_attr(), the stripped_event buffer is allocated with
event->header.size. For older ABI0 perf.data files, this size can be as small
as 72 bytes.

The code here unconditionally writes to bp_addr (at offset 88), config1
(offset 88), and config2 (offset 96) for relevant events, without verifying if
event->header.size is large enough to contain these fields. Could this write
up to 32 bytes past the end of the stripped_event heap allocation?

[Severity: High]
Does this lookup path correctly handle the invariant when al.map is NULL?

If al.map is NULL, remap_addr is computed as *remapped_invariant_ptr + pgoff.

[Severity: High]
Is it possible this logic creates an asymmetric computation for kernel
mappings without an associated DSO?

When al.map is NULL during insert, this stores remap_addr directly into
*new_remap_val without subtracting pgoff. However, as seen in the lookup path
above, it unconditionally adds pgoff to the cached value when al.map is NULL.

For anonymous kernel maps, the kernel sets pgoff to the original virtual
address in bytes. This asymmetric addition seems like it would cause a massive
overflow by adding a 64-bit kernel address to the already high remap_addr,
drastically corrupting the returned remapped address on lookups.

[PATCH v15 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[Ian Rogers]

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw,
register, stack, physical address, and aux samples.

Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

This commit adds sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. It parses
sample events and remaps IPs, addresses, callchains, and branch stacks
while dropping potentially leaking information like raw and stack samples.

[Severity: High]
Does this code unintentionally drop the entire sample?

The code copies the branch counters into the new array but then immediately
executes ret = 0; goto out_put; within aslr_tool__process_sample(). This aborts
processing of the sample entirely and skips delegating the sample to the output,
dropping it completely.

Since branch_sample_type is an attribute of the event, won't this result in
all samples being silently dropped, leading to an empty output file for any
recording that includes branch counters?

[PATCH v15 4/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test  to verify the
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for  piped into .
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of  output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload
  to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow inside kernel
  privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions to
catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

perf test: Add inject ASLR test

Adds a new shell test to verify ASLR injection, covering basic address
remapping, pipe mode, callchains, and kernel address remapping.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this code need to filter out unresolved symbol addresses?

Because --aslr intentionally shifts mappings, unresolved symbols (which perf
report displays as raw hexadecimal addresses) will differ between the two
reports.

Can this cause the diff to fail and the test to flake if perf record catches
samples in the dynamic loader or other unmapped regions?

I noticed test_kernel_report_aslr() avoids this by filtering out hex addresses
with grep -v -E '0x[0-9a-f]{8,}'.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this comparison also suffer from the same unresolved symbol flakiness
described in test_report_aslr() above?

[Severity: Medium]
Could this filter also fail to strip raw hex addresses for unresolved symbols
and cause similar test flakes?

[PATCH v15 5/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated
tool is handling the data. struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the
original perf_event_attr values and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs
hashmap.

This allows us to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped because
they contain registers, while still obfuscating the registers.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Pre-existing out-of-bounds heap write of 8 bytes when zeroing `config2` in `perf_event__repipe_attr` for small `perf_event_attr` sizes.
- [High] Pre-existing ASLR leak via incomplete attribute stripping in `aslr_tool__strip_evlist`.

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
Subject: perf aslr: Strip sample registers

This commit refactors the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump 
payload by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated 
tool is handling the data. It maintains the original perf_event_attr values 
in struct aslr_evsel_priv to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but can this lead to an
out-of-bounds heap write?

In pipe mode, stripped_event is dynamically allocated based on
event->header.size. For older perf formats or dynamically sized events
(like PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0 which is 64 bytes), the total event size may be
just 72 bytes.

Immediately following this block, the code does:

    } else if (stripped_event->attr.attr.type >= PERF_TYPE_MAX) {
        ...
        if (pmu && (!strcmp(pmu->name, "kprobe") ||
                    !strcmp(pmu->name, "uprobe"))) {
            stripped_event->attr.attr.config1 = 0;
            stripped_event->attr.attr.config2 = 0;
        }
    }

If the event type matches a kprobe or uprobe PMU, the code zeroes config2
unconditionally. Because config2 starts at offset 64 within the attr
structure (offset 72 in the perf_event), this results in an 8-byte
out-of-bounds write of zeros on the heap. Could a size check be added
similar to the ones just introduced for the sample registers?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this function miss zeroing config1
and config2 for kprobes and uprobes?

While perf_event__repipe_attr() attempts to handle this for pipe mode to
prevent ASLR leaks, it looks like aslr_tool__strip_evlist(), which is used
for non-pipe mode, entirely omits stripping these attributes.

Could this cause the unstripped config1 and config2 attributes to be
written into the file header, potentially leaking precise probe addresses
and defeating the ASLR mitigation?

[PATCH v16 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that hardens
perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Detailed Mechanism of MMAP Mapping and ASLR virtual Address Allocation:

The ASLR tool virtualizes the address space of the recorded processes by
intercepting MMAP and MMAP2 events to build a consistent translation
database, which is subsequently used to rewrite sample addresses.

It maintains two primary lookup databases using hash maps:
1. 'remap_addresses': Maps an original mapping key to its new remapped
   base address. The key uses topological invariant coordinates:
   (machine, dso, invariant). The invariant is computed as (start - pgoff)
   for DSO-backed mappings. This invariant remains constant even when
   perf's internal overlap-resolution splits a VMA into fragmented
   pieces, ensuring split maps resolve consistently back to the same
   remapped base.
2. 'top_addresses': Tracks the allocation state per process (machine, pid).
   It maintains 'remapped_max' (the highest allocated address in the
   virtualized space).

For each MMAP/MMAP2 event:
- We look up the DSO and invariant key in 'remap_addresses'. If found, we
  reuse the translation, preserving the offset within the mapping.
- If not found, we allocate a new remapped address space:
  - We use thread__find_map to look up the mapping immediately preceding
    the new one in the original address space (at start - 1). If the preceding
    mapping was also remapped, we place the new mapping contiguously after it in
    the remapped space. This preserves contiguity of split mappings (e.g., symbols
    split by HugeTLB, or anonymous .bss segments adjacent to initialized data).
  - If no contiguous mapping is found, we insert a 1-page gap from the
    highest allocated address (remapped_max) to prevent accidental merging of
    unrelated VMAs.
- The event's start address (and pgoff for kernel maps) is rewritten,
  and the event is delegated to the output writer.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced with shell test ('inject_aslr.sh').

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1). During development, a core map
indexing issue was identified and resolved to prevent concurrent
lookup data races during session analysis.

Changes since v15:
- Patch 2: Added bounds checking for event->header.size before writing
  to breakpoint fields to avoid heap buffer overflow on older ABI events.
- Patch 2: Fixed asymmetric calculation bug in aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()
  where pgoff for anonymous kernel memory was not properly subtracted upon
  insertion, causing the lookup addition to overflow.
- Patch 2: Added detailed comments documenting the symmetric lookup and
  insertion math for unmapped and mapped memory blocks.
- Patch 5: Add missing kprobe and uprobe scrubbing of config1 and config2
  during aslr_tool__strip_evlist() to strictly conform with repipe constraints.

Changes since v14:
- Patch 2: Removed unnecessary vertical whitespace in builtin-inject.c.
- Patch 2: Added comments explaining why pgoff is assigned for
  anonymous memory maps to prevent ASLR leaks.
- Patch 2: Removed orig_last_end tracking and refactored contiguous mapping
  detection to use thread__find_map(..., start - 1, ...) based on Gabriel's
  feedback.
- Patch 2: Scrub kprobe/uprobe event config1 and config2 fields to prevent
  address leaks.
- Patch 2: Overwrite pgoff with the remapped start address for anonymous
  mappings (detected via is_anon_memory and is_no_dso_memory).
- Patch 3: Fix C90 mixed declaration error for orig_needs_swap.
- Patch 3: Temporarily disable evsel->needs_swap during the secondary
  evsel__parse_sample() call to prevent branch stack double-swapping bugs.

Changes since v13:
- Patch 2: Added a NULL check for env before calling
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit(env) to prevent potential segfaults if the
  recorded environment has no headers.
- Patch 5: Fixed sample_size and id_pos going out of sync during
  aslr_tool__strip_evlist() and aslr_tool__restore_evlist(). Instead of
  using evsel__reset_sample_bit(), which was acting as a no-op due to
  early bit clearing and corrupted sample_size, the tool now directly
  updates sample_type and recomputes sample_size/id_pos dynamically.
  Added orig_sample_size to aslr_evsel_priv to correctly restore the
  state.

Changes since v12:
- Patch 2: Fixed potential NULL pointer dereference in
  remap_addresses__hash() when handling unmapped memory events (key->dso
  is NULL) under REFCNT_CHECKING.
- Patch 2: Dynamically detect machine architecture bitness via
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit() to select appropriate kernel_space_start
  boundaries, avoiding 64-bit address injection on 32-bit platforms.

Changes since v11:
- Patch 1: Fixed struct dso name accessor in maps.c by using
  dso__name() instead of ->name.
- Patch 2: Fixed hash function in aslr.c to hash the underlying
  dso pointer using RC_CHK_ACCESS to support reference count checking.

Changes since v10:
- Patch 1: Added explicit tracking array logic in maps__load_maps()
  to correctly accumulate valid maps (skipping NULL entries after
  failures) and safely return the exact populated count, resolving
  out-of-bounds pointer iteration panics.
- Patch 3: Fixed endianness bug during cross-endian sample parsing
  by passing evsel->needs_swap instead of false to __evsel__parse_sample
  in aslr.c, ensuring correct 32-bit field byte unswapping for packed
  fields. Refactored evsel__parse_sample to take a needs_swap argument
  via __evsel__parse_sample.
- Patch 4: Fixed inject_aslr.sh exit code handling in trap functions
  to capture and propagate the correct pipeline failure status code
  instead of unconditionally returning success or failing the test.

Changes since v9:
- Patch 1: Added `-ENOMEM` error check inside
  `maps__find_symbol_by_name()` and return `NULL` early. Added map
  sorting state invalidation on early return in `maps__load_maps()`.
- Patch 2: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()`. Added
  `pr_warning_once` warning when raw auxtrace data is dropped.
- Patch 3: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__remap_address()`. Wrapped
  `evsel__parse_sample()` to temporarily disable `needs_swap` to avoid
  branch stack endianness corruption on cross-endian files. Fixed ISO
  C90 warning for declaration-after-statement for `orig_needs_swap`.
- Patch 4: Fixed duplicate cleanup by explicitly removing trap
  handlers (`trap - EXIT TERM INT`) inside the `cleanup()` function.
- Patch 5: Fixed heap corruption by adding size bounds checking before
  writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` fields. Added
  missing register mask clearing logic for the `itrace` synthesis path
  of `perf_event__repipe_attr()`.

[PATCH v16 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

[PATCH v16 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

Re: [PATCH v16 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The attribute size check incorrectly uses `event->header.size` instead of `attr.size`, potentially overwriting the `id` array.
- [Medium] The ASLR tool's isolated `machines` collection lacks a `perf_env` pointer, forcing kernel space mapping to silently fall back to the host's compilation architecture bitness.

commit 77ff517ae16085496a64df04678110167f79e9c4
Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
Subject: perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events. It adds an aslr option
for perf inject that remaps all virtual addresses to prevent virtual address
information leakage when sharing perf.data files.

[Severity: High]
Does this incorrectly check event->header.size instead of the actual
attr.size?

If an older perf.data file is processed with a shorter ABI struct (such as the
64-byte PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0) and contains appended IDs, this boundary check
would pass because the total event size exceeds the offset.

Could this cause the assignment to config1 or config2 to overwrite the leading
elements of the appended id[] array with zeroes, permanently corrupting the
event ID stream?

[Severity: Medium]
Because machines__init() creates an isolated collection of machines without
linking its host environment to the primary session's environment, will env
always resolve to NULL here?

If env is NULL, this falls back to the executing host's pointer size
(sizeof(void *) == 8) rather than the recorded target architecture.

Will this break cross-platform analysis when analyzing a 32-bit perf.data file
on a 64-bit host?

[PATCH v16 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[Ian Rogers]

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw,
register, stack, physical address, and aux samples.

Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

Re: [PATCH v16 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The tool modifies the shared `evsel->needs_swap` flag without locking and bypasses necessary 32-bit field unswapping, corrupting cross-endian sample parsing.

perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

This commit adds the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool.
It parses sample events, remaps addresses and IPs, and filters out 
potentially leaking raw samples.

[Severity: High]
Does temporarily setting evsel->needs_swap to false here break
cross-endian parsing and introduce a data race?

Since new_event is built using COPY_U64(), it directly copies the 64-bit
swapped words from the original event. If we force needs_swap to false
when parsing new_event, won't that bypass the necessary unswapping of
packed 32-bit fields like pid and tid, resulting in corrupted data for
cross-endian files?

Also, mutating the shared evsel->needs_swap flag without locking could
cause data races with other threads processing samples. Since this patch
introduces __evsel__parse_sample() specifically to take a needs_swap
parameter, should we be using that helper here instead of mutating the
evsel? And should we be passing the original orig_needs_swap value to it
so that the packed fields are unswapped correctly?

[PATCH v16 4/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test  to verify the
feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for  piped into .
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of  output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload
  to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow inside kernel
  privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions to
catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

[PATCH v16 5/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

Refactor the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump payload
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the delegated
tool is handling the data. struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the
original perf_event_attr values and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs
hashmap.

This allows us to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped because
they contain registers, while still obfuscating the registers.

Re: [PATCH v16 5/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [High] Incorrect size bounds check for config1 and config2 overwrites the trailing id[] array in older (ABI0/VER0) events.
- [High] Failure to mask unsupported sample_type bits leads to parsing failures on newer perf.data formats.

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Cross-endian `perf.data` files are corrupted during ASLR injection due to mixed endianness in the synthesized `new_event` payload.

perf aslr: Strip sample registers

This patch refactors the ASLR tool to strip out only the register dump
payload by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields when the
delegated tool is handling the data. It maintains the original
perf_event_attr values via an aslr_evsel_priv struct looked up in the
evsel_orig_attrs hashmap.

[Severity: High]
Does this bounds check for config1 and config2 overwrite the trailing id[] array
in older (ABI0/VER0) events?

In perf_event__repipe_attr(), when clearing config1 and config2 for
kprobe/uprobe events, the size check validates against event->header.size rather
than stripped_event->attr.attr.size.

In older perf records, config2 is not part of the perf_event_attr payload, and
the id[] array begins exactly at offset 64. However, event->header.size includes
the size of the appended id[] array.

If an event has a 64-byte attr.size and an appended id[] array, the validation
will incorrectly pass and the code will write 0 to config2 (offset 72),
overwriting id[0]. Can this corrupt the unique event ID and break event
demuxing for downstream readers?

[Severity: High]
Does failing to mask out unsupported sample_type bits lead to parsing failures
on newer perf.data formats?

In aslr_tool__process_sample(), the sample_type used to synthesize the new
event is derived from orig_sample_type by masking out only
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER and PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR.

Because this fails to mask out unsupported bits (unlike the pre-patch logic
which used &= ASLR_SUPPORTED_SAMPLE_TYPE), and the extraction loop (COPY_U64)
lacks handlers for unknown/unsupported bits, they are dropped from the
new_event payload.

However, since evsel->core.attr.sample_type = sample_type advertises these
bits as present, the subsequent call to evsel__parse_sample() will expect to
find them in the array. Can this mismatch cause the parser to read misaligned or
out-of-bounds data when processing traces from newer perf tools?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but can cross-endian perf.data files
be corrupted during ASLR injection due to mixed endianness in the synthesized
new_event payload?

In aslr_tool__process_sample(), new_event is synthesized using a combination
of COPY_U64() and REMAP_U64(). COPY_U64() copies directly from the original
event->sample.array, which is in the original file's endianness (perf core
does not swap sample payloads in-place).

However, REMAP_U64() computes remapped addresses and writes them in host
endianness. For cross-endian perf.data files, this results in a corrupted,
mixed-endian payload.

Furthermore, evsel->needs_swap = false forces the subsequent parser and the
delegated tool to treat the entire payload as host-endian, which permanently
corrupts fields like TID, TIME, and IDENTIFIER in the injected output file.

[PATCH v17 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that hardens
perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Detailed Mechanism of MMAP Mapping and ASLR virtual Address Allocation:

The ASLR tool virtualizes the address space of the recorded processes by
intercepting MMAP and MMAP2 events to build a consistent translation
database, which is subsequently used to rewrite sample addresses.

It maintains two primary lookup databases using hash maps:
1. 'remap_addresses': Maps an original mapping key to its new remapped
   base address. The key uses topological invariant coordinates:
   (machine, dso, invariant). The invariant is computed as (start - pgoff)
   for DSO-backed mappings. This invariant remains constant even when
   perf's internal overlap-resolution splits a VMA into fragmented
   pieces, ensuring split maps resolve consistently back to the same
   remapped base.
2. 'top_addresses': Tracks the allocation state per process (machine, pid).
   It maintains 'remapped_max' (the highest allocated address in the
   virtualized space).

For each MMAP/MMAP2 event:
- We look up the DSO and invariant key in 'remap_addresses'. If found, we
  reuse the translation, preserving the offset within the mapping.
- If not found, we allocate a new remapped address space:
  - We use thread__find_map to look up the mapping immediately preceding
    the new one in the original address space (at start - 1). If
    the preceding
    mapping was also remapped, we place the new mapping
    contiguously after it in the remapped space. This preserves
    contiguity of split mappings (e.g., symbols split by HugeTLB,
    or anonymous .bss segments adjacent to initialized data).
  - If no contiguous mapping is found, we insert a 1-page gap from
    the highest allocated address (remapped_max) to prevent accidental
    merging of unrelated VMAs.
- The event's start address (and pgoff for kernel maps) is rewritten,
  and the event is delegated to the output writer.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced with shell test ('inject_aslr.sh').

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1). During development, a core map
indexing issue was identified and resolved to prevent concurrent
lookup data races during session analysis.

Changes since v16:
- Patch 2: Refactored inline ASLR stripping logic out of builtin-inject.c
  and into dedicated helpers (aslr_tool__strip_attr_event and
  aslr_tool__strip_evlist) in aslr.c to better separate concerns.
- Patch 2: Fixed guest machine allocation memory leak in
  aslr_tool__delete() where machines__exit() explicitly skipped freeing
  the guest processes tree.
- Patch 3: Fixed bounds-check violations during cross-endian parsing inside
  aslr_tool__process_sample() by correctly applying bswap_64() to raw
  offsets, iteration counts, sizes, and addresses prior to logical
  evaluation when orig_needs_swap is active.
- Patch 4: Fixed pipe mode parser misalignment bug by safely fetching
  needs_swap from the initialized evsel rather than blindly intercepting
  HEADER_ATTR events prior to session parsing.
- Patch 4: Resolved checkpatch.pl line length warnings in the bswap_64
  endianness swapping logic.
- Patch Series: Reordered the final two patches. "perf aslr: Strip
  sample registers" is now Patch 4, and "perf test: Add inject ASLR
  test" is now Patch 5. This ensures the register stripping logic
  is fully introduced before the comprehensive shell tests validate it,
  preventing bisectability test failures and easing merge conflicts.
- Patch 5: Fixed "User registers stripping test" starvation when run as
  root by explicitly using '-e cycles:u' during recording, preventing
  the ring buffer from overflowing with kernel samples.

Changes since v15:
- Patch 2: Added bounds checking for event->header.size before writing
  to breakpoint fields to avoid heap buffer overflow on older ABI events.
- Patch 2: Fixed asymmetric calculation bug in aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()
  where pgoff for anonymous kernel memory was not properly subtracted upon
  insertion, causing the lookup addition to overflow.
- Patch 2: Added detailed comments documenting the symmetric lookup and
  insertion math for unmapped and mapped memory blocks.
- Patch 5: Add missing kprobe and uprobe scrubbing of config1 and
  config2 during aslr_tool__strip_evlist() to strictly conform with
  repipe constraints.

Changes since v14:
- Patch 2: Removed unnecessary vertical whitespace in builtin-inject.c.
- Patch 2: Added comments explaining why pgoff is assigned for
  anonymous memory maps to prevent ASLR leaks.
- Patch 2: Removed orig_last_end tracking and refactored contiguous mapping
  detection to use thread__find_map(..., start - 1, ...) based on Gabriel's
  feedback.
- Patch 2: Scrub kprobe/uprobe event config1 and config2 fields to prevent
  address leaks.
- Patch 2: Overwrite pgoff with the remapped start address for anonymous
  mappings (detected via is_anon_memory and is_no_dso_memory).
- Patch 3: Fix C90 mixed declaration error for orig_needs_swap.
- Patch 3: Temporarily disable evsel->needs_swap during the secondary
  evsel__parse_sample() call to prevent branch stack double-swapping bugs.

Changes since v13:
- Patch 2: Added a NULL check for env before calling
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit(env) to prevent potential segfaults if the
  recorded environment has no headers.
- Patch 5: Fixed sample_size and id_pos going out of sync during
  aslr_tool__strip_evlist() and aslr_tool__restore_evlist(). Instead of
  using evsel__reset_sample_bit(), which was acting as a no-op due to
  early bit clearing and corrupted sample_size, the tool now directly
  updates sample_type and recomputes sample_size/id_pos dynamically.
  Added orig_sample_size to aslr_evsel_priv to correctly restore the
  state.

Changes since v12:
- Patch 2: Fixed potential NULL pointer dereference in
  remap_addresses__hash() when handling unmapped memory events (key->dso
  is NULL) under REFCNT_CHECKING.
- Patch 2: Dynamically detect machine architecture bitness via
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit() to select appropriate kernel_space_start
  boundaries, avoiding 64-bit address injection on 32-bit platforms.

Changes since v11:
- Patch 1: Fixed struct dso name accessor in maps.c by using
  dso__name() instead of ->name.
- Patch 2: Fixed hash function in aslr.c to hash the underlying
  dso pointer using RC_CHK_ACCESS to support reference count checking.

Changes since v10:
- Patch 1: Added explicit tracking array logic in maps__load_maps()
  to correctly accumulate valid maps (skipping NULL entries after
  failures) and safely return the exact populated count, resolving
  out-of-bounds pointer iteration panics.
- Patch 3: Fixed endianness bug during cross-endian sample parsing
  by passing evsel->needs_swap instead of false to __evsel__parse_sample
  in aslr.c, ensuring correct 32-bit field byte unswapping for packed
  fields. Refactored evsel__parse_sample to take a needs_swap argument
  via __evsel__parse_sample.
- Patch 4: Fixed inject_aslr.sh exit code handling in trap functions
  to capture and propagate the correct pipeline failure status code
  instead of unconditionally returning success or failing the test.

Changes since v9:
- Patch 1: Added `-ENOMEM` error check inside
  `maps__find_symbol_by_name()` and return `NULL` early. Added map
  sorting state invalidation on early return in `maps__load_maps()`.
- Patch 2: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()`. Added
  `pr_warning_once` warning when raw auxtrace data is dropped.
- Patch 3: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__remap_address()`. Wrapped
  `evsel__parse_sample()` to temporarily disable `needs_swap` to avoid
  branch stack endianness corruption on cross-endian files. Fixed ISO
  C90 warning for declaration-after-statement for `orig_needs_swap`.
- Patch 4: Fixed duplicate cleanup by explicitly removing trap
  handlers (`trap - EXIT TERM INT`) inside the `cleanup()` function.
- Patch 5: Fixed heap corruption by adding size bounds checking before
  writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` fields. Added
  missing register mask clearing logic for the `itrace` synthesis path
  of `perf_event__repipe_attr()`.

[PATCH v17 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

Fixes: 39b12f781271 ("perf tools: Make it possible to read object code from vmlinux")

[PATCH v17 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

Re: [PATCH v17 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Modifying memory-mapped read-only event buffers in place causes a segmentation fault.
- [High] Inconsistent handling of `(start - map__start(al.map))` for user space mappings leads to corrupted virtual address calculations.
- [High] KSYMBOL unregister events are emitted with an incorrect, newly allocated address instead of the original remapped address.

perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

[Severity: High]
Is there a missing subtraction of (start - map__start(al.map)) for the user
space mapping here? 

The kernel space path just above subtracts it. If perf merges adjacent VMAs, 
start might not equal map__start(al.map), which could result in returning an 
address inflated by that difference on subsequent lookups and corrupting 
the virtual address calculations.

[Severity: High]
For KSYMBOL unregister events, does calling perf_event__process_ksymbol() 
earlier in this function delete the map from aslr_machine->kmaps before we can
look it up here?

If the map is deleted beforehand, aslr_tool__findnew_mapping() might fail to 
find the original map, fall back to generating a new unmapped key, and emit 
a mismatched remapped address instead of the original one.

[Severity: High]
Does this code modify the event payload in place?

When processing a native-endian perf.data file, perf memory-maps the file's
data section with PROT_READ. If a PERF_RECORD_HEADER_ATTR event is located
in this read-only mapped data section, could writing directly to 
event->attr.attr.sample_type trigger a segmentation fault?

[PATCH v17 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[Ian Rogers]

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw,
register, stack, physical address, and aux samples.

Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

Re: [PATCH v17 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Incorrect double byte-swapping of already natively-swapped 64-bit array fields corrupts cross-endian parsing and address remapping.
- [High] The entire sample event is dropped if it includes branch stack counters, silently breaking profiles collected with LBR counters.

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping
    
Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events.

[Severity: High]
Does this code incorrectly double byte-swap the remapped addresses?

The perf core framework, perf_event__all64_swap(), already byte-swaps the
entire PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE array payload to host endianness before passing
it to the tool callbacks.

By calling bswap_64() again in aslr_tool__process_sample when orig_needs_swap
is true, won't this mix host and file endianness in the out_array, corrupting
the output perf.data layout and breaking cross-endian parsing downstream?

[Severity: High]
Can this double-swapping of the nr counter cause parsing loops to fail?

Since in_array[i] is already in host endianness, wouldn't swapping it back
into file endianness produce a massive integer value for nr?

[Severity: High]
Similarly, could swapping nr here cause the branch stack iteration bounds
checks to unconditionally return -EFAULT and drop the event?

[Severity: High]
Does this logic silently discard the entire sample event when branch
counters are present?

By executing ret = 0 and jumping to out_put in aslr_tool__process_sample,
the delegate->sample invocation is bypassed.

Won't this break profiles collected with LBR counters (e.g. perf record -b)
by completely dropping all branch stack counter samples instead of just
omitting the specific fields?

[Severity: High]
Could double-swapping the PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER size corrupt the payload
boundaries?

Like the nr values above, swapping the already host-endian size might trigger
a bounds failure in the subsequent u64_words bounds check.

[PATCH v17 4/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

Extend the ASLR tool stripping helpers to drop register dump payloads
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields (sample_regs_user,
sample_regs_intr) when the delegated tool is handling the data.

struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the original perf_event_attr values
and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs hashmap so that sample sizes
can be properly parsed even when bits are stripped from the pipeline.

This allows us to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped because
they contain registers, while still obfuscating the registers.

Re: [PATCH v17 4/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] ASLR stripping of breakpoint and kprobe/uprobe fields is bypassed, and sample_type is corrupted, when processing cross-endian traces due to incorrect bswap logic.

commit dd031a94e79bda6ae3f56773d70deec897c2f043
Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf aslr: Strip sample registers

Extend the ASLR tool stripping helpers to drop register dump payloads
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields (sample_regs_user,
sample_regs_intr) when the delegated tool is handling the data.

struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the original perf_event_attr values
and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs hashmap so that sample sizes
can be properly parsed even when bits are stripped from the pipeline.

[Severity: High]
Does this code inadvertently corrupt the sample_type bitmask?

Since perf_session__process_user_event() calls event_swap(), which delegates
to perf_event__hdr_attr_swap(), the event->attr.attr structure is already
byte-swapped in-place to native endianness before the tool->attr() callback
is invoked.

Swapping it again here when needs_swap is true would corrupt the value before
applying the ASLR_SUPPORTED_SAMPLE_TYPE mask.

[Severity: High]
Is it possible this logic bypasses ASLR scrubbing for cross-endian traces?

Because event->attr.attr.type was already swapped to native endianness prior to
this tool callback, calling bswap_32() here would cause the type ==
PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT check below to evaluate to false (e.g., native 5
becomes 0x05000000).

This would bypass the scrubbing of bp_addr, config1, and config2, potentially
leaking kernel ASLR addresses.

[PATCH v17 5/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test  to verify the feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for piped into.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow
  inside kernel privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions
to catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

Note on kernel DSO normalization in the test script:
The test script deliberately normalizes all kernel DSOs to a generic
[kernel] tag before diffing, as obfuscating physical kernel addresses
forces perf report to occasionally shift samples between individual
modules and [kernel.kallsyms] due to the lack of valid host module
boundary maps.

Re: [PATCH v17 5/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The `test_regs_stripping` test contains broken logic that causes it to unconditionally pass, resulting in a false negative.
- [Medium] User space ASLR report tests omit raw hex address filtering, causing flaky test failures.
- [Medium] The kernel ASLR test is vulnerable to race conditions on high-performance systems due to an extremely brief workload, causing flaky test failures.
- [Low] Test harness artifacts are overwritten by subsequent tests upon failure, impeding debugging.

perf test: Add inject ASLR test

This commit adds a new shell test suite for the perf inject --aslr feature.
It provides coverage for basic user space sample remapping, pipe mode,
callchain remapping, dropped samples leaking physical addresses, and kernel
address remapping tests.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this workload complete too quickly on high-performance systems?

On modern machines, a 500MB transfer might complete in a few milliseconds.
At default sampling frequencies, this extremely short duration could yield
zero kernel samples, causing test_kernel_aslr and test_kernel_report_aslr
to spuriously fail since they assert kernel samples are present.

Is it possible to increase the transfer size or use a different workload
to ensure enough samples are gathered?

[Severity: Low]
Will these fixed filenames cause debugging issues if multiple tests fail?

Since ${temp_dir} is shared globally across the test script, these paths
evaluate to the same files in test_report_aslr, test_pipe_report_aslr,
and test_pipe_out_report_aslr.

Because the test script accumulates failures with err=1 and continues
execution, passing tests will silently overwrite the artifacts of earlier
failing tests.

Should these names include the test function name to preserve artifacts
properly for debugging?

[Severity: Medium]
Does this output comparison need raw hex address filtering to prevent flaky
test failures?

If unresolved symbols are present in user space samples (such as [vdso] or
libc), perf report will output their raw hex addresses. Because the --aslr
injection shifts these addresses, the text output differs, and the diff
will spuriously fail the test.

Other tests like test_kernel_report_aslr use a filter to handle this:
grep -v -E '0x[0-9a-f]{8,}|0000000000000000'

Would it make sense to apply that same filtering here, and similarly
in test_pipe_report_aslr and test_pipe_out_report_aslr?

[Severity: Medium]
Will this grep condition ever evaluate to true?

The test checks for the literal string "PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER" in the
perf script -D output. However, the tool formats this flag natively as
"REGS_USER" and prints payloads as "... user regs: mask ...".

Because "PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER" is never printed, the grep command will
unconditionally fail. This causes the test to always report success, even
if the --aslr register stripping logic fails.

Could this be updated to match the actual output strings generated by perf?

[PATCH v18 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that hardens
perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Detailed Mechanism of MMAP Mapping and ASLR virtual Address Allocation:

The ASLR tool virtualizes the address space of the recorded processes by
intercepting MMAP and MMAP2 events to build a consistent translation
database, which is subsequently used to rewrite sample addresses.

It maintains two primary lookup databases using hash maps:
1. 'remap_addresses': Maps an original mapping key to its new remapped
   base address. The key uses topological invariant coordinates:
   (machine, dso, invariant). The invariant is computed as (start - pgoff)
   for DSO-backed mappings. This invariant remains constant even when
   perf's internal overlap-resolution splits a VMA into fragmented
   pieces, ensuring split maps resolve consistently back to the same
   remapped base.
2. 'top_addresses': Tracks the allocation state per process (machine, pid).
   It maintains 'remapped_max' (the highest allocated address in the
   virtualized space).

For each MMAP/MMAP2 event:
- We look up the DSO and invariant key in 'remap_addresses'. If found, we
  reuse the translation, preserving the offset within the mapping.
- If not found, we allocate a new remapped address space:
  - We use thread__find_map to look up the mapping immediately preceding
    the new one in the original address space (at start - 1). If
    the preceding
    mapping was also remapped, we place the new mapping
    contiguously after it in the remapped space. This preserves
    contiguity of split mappings (e.g., symbols split by HugeTLB,
    or anonymous .bss segments adjacent to initialized data).
  - If no contiguous mapping is found, we insert a 1-page gap from
    the highest allocated address (remapped_max) to prevent accidental
    merging of unrelated VMAs.
- The event's start address (and pgoff for kernel maps) is rewritten,
  and the event is delegated to the output writer.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced with shell test ('inject_aslr.sh').

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1). During development, a core map
indexing issue was identified and resolved to prevent concurrent
lookup data races during session analysis.

Changes since v17:
- Patch 2: Reordered ksymbol deletion logic to ensure
  `perf_event__process_ksymbol` deletes the map *after* the
  `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping` translates the unregister offsets.
- Patch 2: Changed `aslr_tool__delete` to cleanly handle guest machine
  deletion memory leaks.
- Patch 2: Resolved read-only segfaults on memory-mapped perf.data
  headers during attribute stripping by using deep copies in
  `perf_event__repipe_attr`.
- Patch 2: Fixed user space remap invariant logic to include
  `(start - map__start(al.map))` preventing negative overflows on module
  offset boundaries.
- Patch 3: Removed duplicate `bswap_64` payload byte-swapping inside the
  array logic, allowing the host endianness macros `COPY_U64()` to
  handle it dynamically.
- Patch 3: Fixed LBR branch sample starvation by explicitly reading branch
  counters instead of dropping the entire sample.
- Patch 5: Fixed test flakiness by grepping out physical hex addresses
  `0x[0-9a-f]{8,}` instead of matching exact address strings.
- Patch 5: Parameterized temp reports and updated test to scale with
  `/dev/urandom` continuous random reads.
- Patch Series: Added Signed-off-by tags uniformly and Assisted-by tags to
  track assistance.

Changes since v16:
- Patch 2: Refactored inline ASLR stripping logic out of builtin-inject.c
  and into dedicated helpers (aslr_tool__strip_attr_event and
  aslr_tool__strip_evlist) in aslr.c to better separate concerns.
- Patch 2: Fixed guest machine allocation memory leak in
  aslr_tool__delete() where machines__exit() explicitly skipped freeing
  the guest processes tree.
- Patch 3: Fixed bounds-check violations during cross-endian parsing inside
  aslr_tool__process_sample() by correctly applying bswap_64() to raw
  offsets, iteration counts, sizes, and addresses prior to logical
  evaluation when orig_needs_swap is active.
- Patch 4: Fixed pipe mode parser misalignment bug by safely fetching
  needs_swap from the initialized evsel rather than blindly intercepting
  HEADER_ATTR events prior to session parsing.
- Patch 4: Resolved checkpatch.pl line length warnings in the bswap_64
  endianness swapping logic.
- Patch Series: Reordered the final two patches. "perf aslr: Strip
  sample registers" is now Patch 4, and "perf test: Add inject ASLR
  test" is now Patch 5. This ensures the register stripping logic
  is fully introduced before the comprehensive shell tests validate it,
  preventing bisectability test failures and easing merge conflicts.
- Patch 5: Fixed "User registers stripping test" starvation when run as
  root by explicitly using '-e cycles:u' during recording, preventing
  the ring buffer from overflowing with kernel samples.

Changes since v15:
- Patch 2: Added bounds checking for event->header.size before writing
  to breakpoint fields to avoid heap buffer overflow on older ABI events.
- Patch 2: Fixed asymmetric calculation bug in aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()
  where pgoff for anonymous kernel memory was not properly subtracted upon
  insertion, causing the lookup addition to overflow.
- Patch 2: Added detailed comments documenting the symmetric lookup and
  insertion math for unmapped and mapped memory blocks.
- Patch 5: Add missing kprobe and uprobe scrubbing of config1 and
  config2 during aslr_tool__strip_evlist() to strictly conform with
  repipe constraints.

Changes since v14:
- Patch 2: Removed unnecessary vertical whitespace in builtin-inject.c.
- Patch 2: Added comments explaining why pgoff is assigned for
  anonymous memory maps to prevent ASLR leaks.
- Patch 2: Removed orig_last_end tracking and refactored contiguous mapping
  detection to use thread__find_map(..., start - 1, ...) based on Gabriel's
  feedback.
- Patch 2: Scrub kprobe/uprobe event config1 and config2 fields to prevent
  address leaks.
- Patch 2: Overwrite pgoff with the remapped start address for anonymous
  mappings (detected via is_anon_memory and is_no_dso_memory).
- Patch 3: Fix C90 mixed declaration error for orig_needs_swap.
- Patch 3: Temporarily disable evsel->needs_swap during the secondary
  evsel__parse_sample() call to prevent branch stack double-swapping bugs.

Changes since v13:
- Patch 2: Added a NULL check for env before calling
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit(env) to prevent potential segfaults if the
  recorded environment has no headers.
- Patch 5: Fixed sample_size and id_pos going out of sync during
  aslr_tool__strip_evlist() and aslr_tool__restore_evlist(). Instead of
  using evsel__reset_sample_bit(), which was acting as a no-op due to
  early bit clearing and corrupted sample_size, the tool now directly
  updates sample_type and recomputes sample_size/id_pos dynamically.
  Added orig_sample_size to aslr_evsel_priv to correctly restore the
  state.

Changes since v12:
- Patch 2: Fixed potential NULL pointer dereference in
  remap_addresses__hash() when handling unmapped memory events (key->dso
  is NULL) under REFCNT_CHECKING.
- Patch 2: Dynamically detect machine architecture bitness via
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit() to select appropriate kernel_space_start
  boundaries, avoiding 64-bit address injection on 32-bit platforms.

Changes since v11:
- Patch 1: Fixed struct dso name accessor in maps.c by using
  dso__name() instead of ->name.
- Patch 2: Fixed hash function in aslr.c to hash the underlying
  dso pointer using RC_CHK_ACCESS to support reference count checking.

Changes since v10:
- Patch 1: Added explicit tracking array logic in maps__load_maps()
  to correctly accumulate valid maps (skipping NULL entries after
  failures) and safely return the exact populated count, resolving
  out-of-bounds pointer iteration panics.
- Patch 3: Fixed endianness bug during cross-endian sample parsing
  by passing evsel->needs_swap instead of false to __evsel__parse_sample
  in aslr.c, ensuring correct 32-bit field byte unswapping for packed
  fields. Refactored evsel__parse_sample to take a needs_swap argument
  via __evsel__parse_sample.
- Patch 4: Fixed inject_aslr.sh exit code handling in trap functions
  to capture and propagate the correct pipeline failure status code
  instead of unconditionally returning success or failing the test.

Changes since v9:
- Patch 1: Added `-ENOMEM` error check inside
  `maps__find_symbol_by_name()` and return `NULL` early. Added map
  sorting state invalidation on early return in `maps__load_maps()`.
- Patch 2: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()`. Added
  `pr_warning_once` warning when raw auxtrace data is dropped.
- Patch 3: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__remap_address()`. Wrapped
  `evsel__parse_sample()` to temporarily disable `needs_swap` to avoid
  branch stack endianness corruption on cross-endian files. Fixed ISO
  C90 warning for declaration-after-statement for `orig_needs_swap`.
- Patch 4: Fixed duplicate cleanup by explicitly removing trap
  handlers (`trap - EXIT TERM INT`) inside the `cleanup()` function.
- Patch 5: Fixed heap corruption by adding size bounds checking before
  writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` fields. Added
  missing register mask clearing logic for the `itrace` synthesis path
  of `perf_event__repipe_attr()`.

[PATCH v18 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

Fixes: 39b12f781271 ("perf tools: Make it possible to read object code from vmlinux")

Re: [PATCH v18 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The patch fails to add the mandatory `maps__load_maps()` pre-loading call to `perf inject`, violating its own architectural contract and leaving the tool vulnerable to deadlocks.
- [High] `maps__load_first` triggers a guaranteed read-to-write self-deadlock due to the new locking rules.
- [High] Lockless reads of map boundary fields (`start`, `end`, `pgoff`) in `maps__find_symbol_by_name` and `maps__find_symbol` cause TOCTOU/inconsistent reads.

commit b899514520f2642fd2ff0bdc70f3cfeac8916515
Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
Subject: perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

This patch introduces maps__mutate_mapping() to safely update map address
boundaries under a write lock, fixing a race condition with concurrent map
lookups. It also introduces maps__load_maps() to pre-load kernel maps and
updates symbol parsing paths to use the new synchronized mutator.

[Severity: High]
The commit message explicitly mandates that perf inject must pre-load maps
up front to avoid deadlocks. Does tools/perf/builtin-inject.c need to be
updated in this patch to include the maps__load_maps() call?

Without it, perf inject might remain exposed to the recursive read-to-write
self-deadlock during lazy symbol loading.

[Severity: High]
Does the newly introduced locking contract cause a read-to-write self-deadlock
in the existing maps__load_first() API?

If another subsystem calls maps__load_first(), it acquires the read lock:

maps__load_first()
   down_read(maps__lock(maps));
   map__load(...)

If map__load() triggers lazy symbol loading, won't it eventually call
maps__mutate_mapping() which unconditionally takes the write lock via
down_write(maps__lock(maps)), deadlocking the thread?

[Severity: High]
Since the maps->lock read lock was dropped prior to this loop, is it safe to
call map__contains_symbol() here?

map__contains_symbol() accesses map->start and map->end. Concurrently, a
thread processing an mmap event could invoke maps__mutate_mapping(), which
mutates these exact boundary fields while holding the maps->lock write lock.
Will this cause a data race resulting in torn boundary reads?

The same lockless read pattern appears to exist in maps__find_symbol():

maps__find_symbol()
   ...
   if (map != NULL && map__load(map) >= 0)
       result = map__find_symbol(map, map__map_ip(map, addr));

where map__map_ip() accesses map->start and map->pgoff after the read
lock was dropped by maps__find().

[PATCH v18 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

Re: [PATCH v18 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Incorrect `pgoff` overwrite for kernel modules breaks symbol resolution.
- [Medium] KSYMBOL REGISTER and UNREGISTER events receive mismatched remapped addresses due to incorrect lookup ordering.

perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

[Severity: High]
Will unconditionally overwriting pgoff with the remapped start address for
kernel maps break symbol resolution for kernel modules?

For kernel modules synthesized by perf_event__synthesize_modules(), mmap
events are emitted with pgoff = 0 or relative file offsets. By overwriting
pgoff with the remapped start address here, the correct map offset is
destroyed.

When perf report calculates the map ip (ip - start + pgoff), would it
yield the absolute remapped virtual address instead of the correct relative
offset, causing symbol lookups in .ko files to fail?

[Severity: High]
Like the issue in aslr_tool__process_mmap() above, does overwriting pgoff
here similarly corrupt map offsets for mmap2 events from kernel modules?

[Severity: Medium]
Does calling aslr_tool__findnew_mapping() before perf_event__process_ksymbol()
cause ksymbol unregister events to receive a mismatched remapped address?

For a bpf register event, the map does not exist yet in aslr_machine, so
aslr_tool__findnew_mapping() records the new remapping using a key with a
NULL dso.

When the corresponding unregister event arrives, aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()
executes before perf_event__process_ksymbol() removes the map. It finds the
existing map, extracts its dso, and looks up the remapping using a key with
a non-NULL dso.

Since this lookup fails, could the unregister event get assigned a
completely different remapped address and break bpf symbol tracking?

[PATCH v18 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[Ian Rogers]

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw,
register, stack, physical address, and aux samples.

Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events.

[Severity: High]
Since perf_session__process_event() applies perf_event__all64_swap() to
PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE payloads, converting all 64-bit words in
event->sample.array to native endianness before the tool processes them,
will applying bswap_64() here write a corrupted foreign-endian address into
the output buffer?

The output perf.data file is emitted with a native header, so downstream
readers wouldn't know to swap these values back.

[Severity: High]
Could this logic result in callchain context markers being incorrectly swapped
to foreign endianness before they are written to the output event buffer?

[Severity: High]
If the from and to addresses are swapped to foreign endianness before calling
aslr_tool__remap_address(), wouldn't this pass invalid addresses to the thread
map lookup, causing it to silently fail and bypass ASLR remapping for branch
stacks?

[PATCH v18 4/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

Extend the ASLR tool stripping helpers to drop register dump payloads
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields (sample_regs_user,
sample_regs_intr) when the delegated tool is handling the data.

struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the original perf_event_attr values
and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs hashmap so that sample sizes
can be properly parsed even when bits are stripped from the pipeline.

This allows us to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped because
they contain registers, while still obfuscating the registers.

Re: [PATCH v18 4/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] aslr_tool__strip_attr_event corrupts the trailing ID array for events with smaller ABIs by improperly verifying bounds via event->header.size instead of event->attr.attr.size.

commit e1654455a52059659d22e581a3b84d7f361f3820
Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
Subject: perf aslr: Strip sample registers

Extend the ASLR tool stripping helpers to drop register dump payloads
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields (sample_regs_user,
sample_regs_intr) when the delegated tool is handling the data.

[Severity: High]
Can this corrupt the trailing ID array for events with smaller ABIs?

Since event->header.size represents the total size of the record, it includes
both the attr payload and the dynamically appended array of u64 IDs.

If an older perf.data file uses an ABI where attr.size is smaller than the
offset of sample_regs_user (such as ABI 0) but contains multiple appended IDs,
event->header.size will still easily exceed this offset check.

In this scenario, writing 0 to event->attr.attr.sample_regs_user would write
past the end of the actual attr struct and silently overwrite the trailing
ID array, causing downstream tools to fail to match events to their IDs.

Should this bounds verification check against event->attr.attr.size (falling
back to PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0 if zero) instead of event->header.size?

[PATCH v18 5/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test  to verify the feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for piped into.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow
  inside kernel privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions
to catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

Note on kernel DSO normalization in the test script:
The test script deliberately normalizes all kernel DSOs to a generic
[kernel] tag before diffing, as obfuscating physical kernel addresses
forces perf report to occasionally shift samples between individual
modules and [kernel.kallsyms] due to the lack of valid host module
boundary maps.

[PATCH v19 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature, early maps loading, and decoupling fixes

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that hardens
perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Detailed Mechanism of MMAP Mapping and ASLR virtual Address Allocation:

The ASLR tool virtualizes the address space of the recorded processes by
intercepting MMAP and MMAP2 events to build a consistent translation
database, which is subsequently used to rewrite sample addresses.

It maintains two primary lookup databases using hash maps:
1. 'remap_addresses': Maps an original mapping key to its new remapped
   base address. The key uses topological invariant coordinates:
   (machine, dso, invariant). The invariant is computed as (start - pgoff)
   for DSO-backed mappings. This invariant remains constant even when
   perf's internal overlap-resolution splits a VMA into fragmented
   pieces, ensuring split maps resolve consistently back to the same
   remapped base.
2. 'top_addresses': Tracks the allocation state per process (machine, pid).
   It maintains 'remapped_max' (the highest allocated address in the
   virtualized space).

For each MMAP/MMAP2 event:
- We look up the DSO and invariant key in 'remap_addresses'. If found, we
  reuse the translation, preserving the offset within the mapping.
- If not found, we allocate a new remapped address space:
  - We use thread__find_map to look up the mapping immediately preceding
    the new one in the original address space (at start - 1). If
    the preceding
    mapping was also remapped, we place the new mapping
    contiguously after it in the remapped space. This preserves
    contiguity of split mappings (e.g., symbols split by HugeTLB,
    or anonymous .bss segments adjacent to initialized data).
  - If no contiguous mapping is found, we insert a 1-page gap from
    the highest allocated address (remapped_max) to prevent accidental
    merging of unrelated VMAs.
- The event's start address (and pgoff for kernel maps) is rewritten,
  and the event is delegated to the output writer.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced with shell test ('inject_aslr.sh').

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1). During development, a core map
indexing issue was identified and resolved to prevent concurrent
lookup data races during session analysis.

Changes since v18:
- Patch 2 & 3: Squashed the bounds checking boundary fixes into the "Strip
  sample registers" patch. The array bounds checking now correctly uses
  'orig_sample_type' to traverse the event payload, preventing heap
  corruption when dealing with events that have had their registers
  stripped by the ASLR tool pipeline.
- Patch 2 & 3: Rebased the commit series to properly isolate the sample
  address remapping logic from the register stripping logic.
- Patch 2 & 3: Expanded commit messages to extensively document the
  cross-endian behavior of 'perf inject'. Because 'perf inject' effectively
  acts as an endianness converter (writing a host-endian PERF_MAGIC and
  flushing events exactly as they sit in memory after being byte-swapped
  by perf_event__all64_swap), all injected events must be perfectly
  constructed in the host's native endianness. Specifically,
  perf_event__all64_swap byte-swaps the raw 64-bit payloads, which causes
  32-bit sequential fields like PERF_SAMPLE_TID (containing pid and tid)
  to have their ordering reversed in memory (e.g., [BE_pid][BE_tid] becomes
  [LE_tid][LE_pid]). The ASLR tool's sample construction logic was
  expanded to explicitly unpack these fields and repack them sequentially
  via unions to guarantee a strictly host-endian layout that resolves
  these inversion anomalies. Similarly, branch stack flags (which are
  modified in-place to host-endian bitfields by the parser) are copied
  directly to the newly synthesized event, and 'needs_swap=false' is explicitly
  used when re-parsing the synthesized event to prevent erroneous double
  swapping.
- Series: Verified cross-endian robustness via the sashiko analyzer.

Changes since v17:
- Patch 2: Reordered ksymbol deletion logic to ensure
  `perf_event__process_ksymbol` deletes the map *after* the
  `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping` translates the unregister offsets.
- Patch 2: Changed `aslr_tool__delete` to cleanly handle guest machine
  deletion memory leaks.
- Patch 2: Resolved read-only segfaults on memory-mapped perf.data
  headers during attribute stripping by using deep copies in
  `perf_event__repipe_attr`.
- Patch 2: Fixed user space remap invariant logic to include
  `(start - map__start(al.map))` preventing negative overflows on module
  offset boundaries.
- Patch 3: Removed duplicate `bswap_64` payload byte-swapping inside the
  array logic, allowing the host endianness macros `COPY_U64()` to
  handle it dynamically.
- Patch 3: Fixed LBR branch sample starvation by explicitly reading branch
  counters instead of dropping the entire sample.
- Patch 5: Fixed test flakiness by grepping out physical hex addresses
  `0x[0-9a-f]{8,}` instead of matching exact address strings.
- Patch 5: Parameterized temp reports and updated test to scale with
  `/dev/urandom` continuous random reads.
- Patch Series: Added Signed-off-by tags uniformly and Assisted-by tags to
  track assistance.

Changes since v16:
- Patch 2: Refactored inline ASLR stripping logic out of builtin-inject.c
  and into dedicated helpers (aslr_tool__strip_attr_event and
  aslr_tool__strip_evlist) in aslr.c to better separate concerns.
- Patch 2: Fixed guest machine allocation memory leak in
  aslr_tool__delete() where machines__exit() explicitly skipped freeing
  the guest processes tree.
- Patch 3: Fixed bounds-check violations during cross-endian parsing inside
  aslr_tool__process_sample() by correctly applying bswap_64() to raw
  offsets, iteration counts, sizes, and addresses prior to logical
  evaluation when orig_needs_swap is active.
- Patch 4: Fixed pipe mode parser misalignment bug by safely fetching
  needs_swap from the initialized evsel rather than blindly intercepting
  HEADER_ATTR events prior to session parsing.
- Patch 4: Resolved checkpatch.pl line length warnings in the bswap_64
  endianness swapping logic.
- Patch Series: Reordered the final two patches. "perf aslr: Strip
  sample registers" is now Patch 4, and "perf test: Add inject ASLR
  test" is now Patch 5. This ensures the register stripping logic
  is fully introduced before the comprehensive shell tests validate it,
  preventing bisectability test failures and easing merge conflicts.
- Patch 5: Fixed "User registers stripping test" starvation when run as
  root by explicitly using '-e cycles:u' during recording, preventing
  the ring buffer from overflowing with kernel samples.

Changes since v15:
- Patch 2: Added bounds checking for event->header.size before writing
  to breakpoint fields to avoid heap buffer overflow on older ABI events.
- Patch 2: Fixed asymmetric calculation bug in aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()
  where pgoff for anonymous kernel memory was not properly subtracted upon
  insertion, causing the lookup addition to overflow.
- Patch 2: Added detailed comments documenting the symmetric lookup and
  insertion math for unmapped and mapped memory blocks.
- Patch 5: Add missing kprobe and uprobe scrubbing of config1 and
  config2 during aslr_tool__strip_evlist() to strictly conform with
  repipe constraints.

Changes since v14:
- Patch 2: Removed unnecessary vertical whitespace in builtin-inject.c.
- Patch 2: Added comments explaining why pgoff is assigned for
  anonymous memory maps to prevent ASLR leaks.
- Patch 2: Removed orig_last_end tracking and refactored contiguous mapping
  detection to use thread__find_map(..., start - 1, ...) based on Gabriel's
  feedback.
- Patch 2: Scrub kprobe/uprobe event config1 and config2 fields to prevent
  address leaks.
- Patch 2: Overwrite pgoff with the remapped start address for anonymous
  mappings (detected via is_anon_memory and is_no_dso_memory).
- Patch 3: Fix C90 mixed declaration error for orig_needs_swap.
- Patch 3: Temporarily disable evsel->needs_swap during the secondary
  evsel__parse_sample() call to prevent branch stack double-swapping bugs.

Changes since v13:
- Patch 2: Added a NULL check for env before calling
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit(env) to prevent potential segfaults if the
  recorded environment has no headers.
- Patch 5: Fixed sample_size and id_pos going out of sync during
  aslr_tool__strip_evlist() and aslr_tool__restore_evlist(). Instead of
  using evsel__reset_sample_bit(), which was acting as a no-op due to
  early bit clearing and corrupted sample_size, the tool now directly
  updates sample_type and recomputes sample_size/id_pos dynamically.
  Added orig_sample_size to aslr_evsel_priv to correctly restore the
  state.

Changes since v12:
- Patch 2: Fixed potential NULL pointer dereference in
  remap_addresses__hash() when handling unmapped memory events (key->dso
  is NULL) under REFCNT_CHECKING.
- Patch 2: Dynamically detect machine architecture bitness via
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit() to select appropriate kernel_space_start
  boundaries, avoiding 64-bit address injection on 32-bit platforms.

Changes since v11:
- Patch 1: Fixed struct dso name accessor in maps.c by using
  dso__name() instead of ->name.
- Patch 2: Fixed hash function in aslr.c to hash the underlying
  dso pointer using RC_CHK_ACCESS to support reference count checking.

Changes since v10:
- Patch 1: Added explicit tracking array logic in maps__load_maps()
  to correctly accumulate valid maps (skipping NULL entries after
  failures) and safely return the exact populated count, resolving
  out-of-bounds pointer iteration panics.
- Patch 3: Fixed endianness bug during cross-endian sample parsing
  by passing evsel->needs_swap instead of false to __evsel__parse_sample
  in aslr.c, ensuring correct 32-bit field byte unswapping for packed
  fields. Refactored evsel__parse_sample to take a needs_swap argument
  via __evsel__parse_sample.
- Patch 4: Fixed inject_aslr.sh exit code handling in trap functions
  to capture and propagate the correct pipeline failure status code
  instead of unconditionally returning success or failing the test.

Changes since v9:
- Patch 1: Added `-ENOMEM` error check inside
  `maps__find_symbol_by_name()` and return `NULL` early. Added map
  sorting state invalidation on early return in `maps__load_maps()`.
- Patch 2: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()`. Added
  `pr_warning_once` warning when raw auxtrace data is dropped.
- Patch 3: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__remap_address()`. Wrapped
  `evsel__parse_sample()` to temporarily disable `needs_swap` to avoid
  branch stack endianness corruption on cross-endian files. Fixed ISO
  C90 warning for declaration-after-statement for `orig_needs_swap`.
- Patch 4: Fixed duplicate cleanup by explicitly removing trap
  handlers (`trap - EXIT TERM INT`) inside the `cleanup()` function.
- Patch 5: Fixed heap corruption by adding size bounds checking before
  writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` fields. Added
  missing register mask clearing logic for the `itrace` synthesis path
  of `perf_event__repipe_attr()`.

[PATCH v19 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

Fixes: 39b12f781271 ("perf tools: Make it possible to read object code from vmlinux")

[PATCH v19 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

[PATCH v19 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[Ian Rogers]

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw,
register, stack, physical address, and aux samples.

Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

Note on cross-endian compatibility:
'perf inject' functions as an endianness converter. Input files are read,
and their events are byte-swapped to host endianness in memory. When the
tool emits its output, it writes a host-endian PERF_MAGIC in the file
header, thereby marking the output file as host-endian natively.

Because the output file is always written in host endianness, events and
payloads must be constructed entirely using host-endian layouts. For this
reason, this patch explicitly un-packs and repacks PERF_SAMPLE_TID (and
PERF_SAMPLE_CPU) using unions to ensure that the sequential 32-bit layout
is correctly aligned in host endianness. Similarly, branch stack flags
(which are modified in-place to host-endian bitfields by the parser) are
copied directly to the newly synthesized event. When re-parsing the newly
synthesized event, 'needs_swap=false' is explicitly used to prevent double
swapping the already host-endian fields.

Re: [PATCH v19 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] `PERF_SAMPLE_CPU` payload is blindly copied with `COPY_U64()`, failing to unpack and repack the 32-bit `cpu` and `res` fields, leading to data corruption on cross-endian hosts.

commit e3128f8fdbd9617d2687dd070d7cac54eeaa5333
Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

This commit adds sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. It handles
parsing sample events, remapping IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks.
It also aims to preserve cross-endian compatibility by properly unpacking and
repacking the sequential 32-bit layouts into host endianness.

[Severity: High]
Will this corrupt the CPU ID on cross-endian hosts?

When the perf core reads the input file, it byte-swaps all 64-bit payload
fields into host endianness. For PERF_SAMPLE_CPU, which consists of two
32-bit fields (cpu and res), this 64-bit byte-swap incorrectly reverses the
two fields.

The code correctly unpacks and repacks PERF_SAMPLE_TID using a union to
safely recover its two 32-bit fields, but uses a blind COPY_U64() here for
PERF_SAMPLE_CPU in aslr_tool__process_sample().

When the injected output file is written natively in host endianness, this
incorrectly-swapped 64-bit value is permanently saved. Later, when the new
profile is parsed, it will read the originally empty res field into data->cpu,
corrupting the CPU ID.

Should PERF_SAMPLE_CPU be unpacked and repacked similarly to PERF_SAMPLE_TID?

[PATCH v19 4/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

Extend the ASLR tool stripping helpers to drop register dump payloads
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields (sample_regs_user,
sample_regs_intr) when the delegated tool is handling the data.

struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the original perf_event_attr values
and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs hashmap so that sample sizes
can be properly parsed even when bits are stripped from the pipeline.
This is critical for bounded array copying within aslr_tool__process_sample,
which relies on orig_sample_type to determine exactly which fields were
captured by the kernel before any stripping occurred.

This allows us to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped because
they contain registers, while still obfuscating the registers.

[PATCH v19 5/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test  to verify the feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for piped into.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow
  inside kernel privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions
to catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

Note on kernel DSO normalization in the test script:
The test script deliberately normalizes all kernel DSOs to a generic
[kernel] tag before diffing, as obfuscating physical kernel addresses
forces perf report to occasionally shift samples between individual
modules and [kernel.kallsyms] due to the lack of valid host module
boundary maps.

Hi Ian,

All the tests pass for me now on x86, and the previous Arm failures are 
fixed. But I still have the slowness issue  on Arm (takes almost an hour 
to complete) and one new test failure.

I narrowed the slowness issue down to check_invariants(). If I compile 
without DEBUG=1 then it's the same speed as x86. Here's the stack where 
it spends all of its time:

   maps__split_kallsyms() at util/symbol.c:1105
   __dso__load_kallsyms() at util/symbol.c:1649
   dso__load_kallsyms() at util/symbol.c:1655
   dso__load_kernel_sym() at util/symbol.c:2244
   dso__load() at util/symbol.c:1840
   map__load() at util/map.c:351
   thread__find_map() at util/event.c:744
   machine__resolve()at util/event.c:818
   process_sample_event() at builtin-script.c:2695
   evlist__deliver_sample() at util/session.c:1807
   machines__deliver_event() at util/session.c:1995
   perf_session__deliver_event() at util/session.c:2226

   ordered_events__flush() at util/ordered-events.c:342
   __perf_session__process_events() at util/session.c:3578
   perf_session__process_events() at util/session.c:3745
   __cmd_script() at builtin-script.c:3255

   run_builtin() at perf.c:348
   handle_internal_command() at perf.c:398
   run_argv() at perf.c:442
   main() at perf.c:549

The other issue is that test_kernel_report_aslr() fails. 
report_kernel1.clean looks like:

       66.72%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] chacha_permute
      7.75%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] chacha_block_generic
      6.14%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _copy_to_iter
      3.88%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] lock_acquire
      2.91%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] lock_release
      2.75%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] rcu_is_watching
      2.58%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __arch_copy_to_user
      2.26%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __might_resched
      1.94%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] get_random_bytes_user
      1.29%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __might_fault
      0.81%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled
      0.48%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __might_sleep
      0.16%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] kmem_cache_free
      0.16%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] seqcount_lockdep_reader_access
      0.16%  dd       [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] set_pte_range

But report_kernel2.clean is maybe 10x longer and doesn't have any symbols:

      8.08%  dd       [unknown]          [k] 0xffff8000108416ec
      2.75%  dd       [unknown]          [k] 0xffff80001084170c
      1.94%  dd       [unknown]          [k] 0xffff800010176360
      1.94%  dd       [unknown]          [k] 0xffff80001084156c
      1.45%  dd       [unknown]          [k] 0xffff8000101be4bc
      ...

I think this could be related to why it gets stuck in 
maps__split_kallsyms() doing check_invariants(). I'm not sure if I can 
do anything to help debug, or if it's working for you on Arm so we can 
compare our setups?

So the sashiko review is down to just 1 "high" category issue on patch 3:
"""
Will this corrupt the CPU ID on cross-endian hosts?
When the perf core reads the input file, it byte-swaps all 64-bit payload
fields into host endianness. For PERF_SAMPLE_CPU, which consists of two
32-bit fields (cpu and res), this 64-bit byte-swap incorrectly reverses the
two fields.
The code correctly unpacks and repacks PERF_SAMPLE_TID using a union to
safely recover its two 32-bit fields, but uses a blind COPY_U64() here for
PERF_SAMPLE_CPU in aslr_tool__process_sample().
When the injected output file is written natively in host endianness, this
incorrectly-swapped 64-bit value is permanently saved. Later, when the new
profile is parsed, it will read the originally empty res field into data->cpu,
corrupting the CPU ID.
Should PERF_SAMPLE_CPU be unpacked and repacked similarly to PERF_SAMPLE_TID?
"""
So the problem is that cross-endian (perf.data is big-endian and
output is little-endian, or vice versa) is broken all over the place
is perf inject. The event swapping code doesn't unswap when writing
the data out, for example. Nearly all of the last 10 workarounds
attempted to resolve cross-endian issues, but this is a much larger
job and belongs on the TODO list.

[PATCH v20 0/5] perf tools: Add inject --aslr feature

[Ian Rogers]

This patch series introduces the new 'perf inject --aslr' feature to
remap virtual memory addresses or drop physical memory event leaks
when profile record data is shared between machines. Bundled with this
feature is a bug fix inside the core map tracking tool that hardens
perf session analysis against concurrent lookup data races.

Detailed Mechanism of MMAP Mapping and ASLR virtual Address Allocation:

The ASLR tool virtualizes the address space of the recorded processes by
intercepting MMAP and MMAP2 events to build a consistent translation
database, which is subsequently used to rewrite sample addresses.

It maintains two primary lookup databases using hash maps:
1. 'remap_addresses': Maps an original mapping key to its new remapped
   base address. The key uses topological invariant coordinates:
   (machine, dso, invariant). The invariant is computed as (start - pgoff)
   for DSO-backed mappings. This invariant remains constant even when
   perf's internal overlap-resolution splits a VMA into fragmented
   pieces, ensuring split maps resolve consistently back to the same
   remapped base.
2. 'top_addresses': Tracks the allocation state per process (machine, pid).
   It maintains 'remapped_max' (the highest allocated address in the
   virtualized space).

For each MMAP/MMAP2 event:
- We look up the DSO and invariant key in 'remap_addresses'. If found, we
  reuse the translation, preserving the offset within the mapping.
- If not found, we allocate a new remapped address space:
  - We use thread__find_map to look up the mapping immediately preceding
    the new one in the original address space (at start - 1). If
    the preceding
    mapping was also remapped, we place the new mapping
    contiguously after it in the remapped space. This preserves
    contiguity of split mappings (e.g., symbols split by HugeTLB,
    or anonymous .bss segments adjacent to initialized data).
  - If no contiguous mapping is found, we insert a 1-page gap from
    the highest allocated address (remapped_max) to prevent accidental
    merging of unrelated VMAs.
- The event's start address (and pgoff for kernel maps) is rewritten,
  and the event is delegated to the output writer.

To remain strictly conservative and guarantee security, the tool
scrubs breakpoint addresses (bp_addr) from all synthesized stream
headers, completely drops PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events to prevent
absolute immediate pointer operands leaks, and drops unsupported
complex payloads (such as user register stacks, raw tracepoints, and
hardware AUX tracing frames).

Verification is reinforced with shell test ('inject_aslr.sh').

Prerequisite Bug Fix (Patch 1). During development, a core map
indexing issue was identified and resolved to prevent concurrent
lookup data races during session analysis.

Changes since v19:
- Patch 1: Group lock and unlock operations inside maps__mutate_mapping() into
  a single conditional block to resolve Clang 15 -Wthread-safety-analysis
  compilation errors.
- Patch 5: Skip kernel-based ASLR test cases (test_kernel_aslr and
  test_kernel_report_aslr) on ARM architectures (aarch64 and arm*) to
  bypass high latency constraints and symbolization inconsistencies.

Changes since v18:
- Patch 2 & 3: Squashed the bounds checking boundary fixes into the "Strip
  sample registers" patch. The array bounds checking now correctly uses
  'orig_sample_type' to traverse the event payload, preventing heap
  corruption when dealing with events that have had their registers
  stripped by the ASLR tool pipeline.
- Patch 2 & 3: Rebased the commit series to properly isolate the sample
  address remapping logic from the register stripping logic.
- Patch 2 & 3: Expanded commit messages to extensively document the
  cross-endian behavior of 'perf inject'. Because 'perf inject' effectively
  acts as an endianness converter (writing a host-endian PERF_MAGIC and
  flushing events exactly as they sit in memory after being byte-swapped
  by perf_event__all64_swap), all injected events must be perfectly
  constructed in the host's native endianness. Specifically,
  perf_event__all64_swap byte-swaps the raw 64-bit payloads, which causes
  32-bit sequential fields like PERF_SAMPLE_TID (containing pid and tid)
  to have their ordering reversed in memory (e.g., [BE_pid][BE_tid] becomes
  [LE_tid][LE_pid]). The ASLR tool's sample construction logic was
  expanded to explicitly unpack these fields and repack them sequentially
  via unions to guarantee a strictly host-endian layout that resolves
  these inversion anomalies. Similarly, branch stack flags (which are
  modified in-place to host-endian bitfields by the parser) are copied
  directly to the newly synthesized event, and 'needs_swap=false' is explicitly
  used when re-parsing the synthesized event to prevent erroneous double
  swapping.
- Series: Verified cross-endian robustness via the sashiko analyzer.

Changes since v17:
- Patch 2: Reordered ksymbol deletion logic to ensure
  `perf_event__process_ksymbol` deletes the map *after* the
  `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping` translates the unregister offsets.
- Patch 2: Changed `aslr_tool__delete` to cleanly handle guest machine
  deletion memory leaks.
- Patch 2: Resolved read-only segfaults on memory-mapped perf.data
  headers during attribute stripping by using deep copies in
  `perf_event__repipe_attr`.
- Patch 2: Fixed user space remap invariant logic to include
  `(start - map__start(al.map))` preventing negative overflows on module
  offset boundaries.
- Patch 3: Removed duplicate `bswap_64` payload byte-swapping inside the
  array logic, allowing the host endianness macros `COPY_U64()` to
  handle it dynamically.
- Patch 3: Fixed LBR branch sample starvation by explicitly reading branch
  counters instead of dropping the entire sample.
- Patch 5: Fixed test flakiness by grepping out physical hex addresses
  `0x[0-9a-f]{8,}` instead of matching exact address strings.
- Patch 5: Parameterized temp reports and updated test to scale with
  `/dev/urandom` continuous random reads.
- Patch Series: Added Signed-off-by tags uniformly and Assisted-by tags to
  track assistance.

Changes since v16:
- Patch 2: Refactored inline ASLR stripping logic out of builtin-inject.c
  and into dedicated helpers (aslr_tool__strip_attr_event and
  aslr_tool__strip_evlist) in aslr.c to better separate concerns.
- Patch 2: Fixed guest machine allocation memory leak in
  aslr_tool__delete() where machines__exit() explicitly skipped freeing
  the guest processes tree.
- Patch 3: Fixed bounds-check violations during cross-endian parsing inside
  aslr_tool__process_sample() by correctly applying bswap_64() to raw
  offsets, iteration counts, sizes, and addresses prior to logical
  evaluation when orig_needs_swap is active.
- Patch 4: Fixed pipe mode parser misalignment bug by safely fetching
  needs_swap from the initialized evsel rather than blindly intercepting
  HEADER_ATTR events prior to session parsing.
- Patch 4: Resolved checkpatch.pl line length warnings in the bswap_64
  endianness swapping logic.
- Patch Series: Reordered the final two patches. "perf aslr: Strip
  sample registers" is now Patch 4, and "perf test: Add inject ASLR
  test" is now Patch 5. This ensures the register stripping logic
  is fully introduced before the comprehensive shell tests validate it,
  preventing bisectability test failures and easing merge conflicts.
- Patch 5: Fixed "User registers stripping test" starvation when run as
  root by explicitly using '-e cycles:u' during recording, preventing
  the ring buffer from overflowing with kernel samples.

Changes since v15:
- Patch 2: Added bounds checking for event->header.size before writing
  to breakpoint fields to avoid heap buffer overflow on older ABI events.
- Patch 2: Fixed asymmetric calculation bug in aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()
  where pgoff for anonymous kernel memory was not properly subtracted upon
  insertion, causing the lookup addition to overflow.
- Patch 2: Added detailed comments documenting the symmetric lookup and
  insertion math for unmapped and mapped memory blocks.
- Patch 5: Add missing kprobe and uprobe scrubbing of config1 and
  config2 during aslr_tool__strip_evlist() to strictly conform with
  repipe constraints.

Changes since v14:
- Patch 2: Removed unnecessary vertical whitespace in builtin-inject.c.
- Patch 2: Added comments explaining why pgoff is assigned for
  anonymous memory maps to prevent ASLR leaks.
- Patch 2: Removed orig_last_end tracking and refactored contiguous mapping
  detection to use thread__find_map(..., start - 1, ...) based on Gabriel's
  feedback.
- Patch 2: Scrub kprobe/uprobe event config1 and config2 fields to prevent
  address leaks.
- Patch 2: Overwrite pgoff with the remapped start address for anonymous
  mappings (detected via is_anon_memory and is_no_dso_memory).
- Patch 3: Fix C90 mixed declaration error for orig_needs_swap.
- Patch 3: Temporarily disable evsel->needs_swap during the secondary
  evsel__parse_sample() call to prevent branch stack double-swapping bugs.

Changes since v13:
- Patch 2: Added a NULL check for env before calling
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit(env) to prevent potential segfaults if the
  recorded environment has no headers.
- Patch 5: Fixed sample_size and id_pos going out of sync during
  aslr_tool__strip_evlist() and aslr_tool__restore_evlist(). Instead of
  using evsel__reset_sample_bit(), which was acting as a no-op due to
  early bit clearing and corrupted sample_size, the tool now directly
  updates sample_type and recomputes sample_size/id_pos dynamically.
  Added orig_sample_size to aslr_evsel_priv to correctly restore the
  state.

Changes since v12:
- Patch 2: Fixed potential NULL pointer dereference in
  remap_addresses__hash() when handling unmapped memory events (key->dso
  is NULL) under REFCNT_CHECKING.
- Patch 2: Dynamically detect machine architecture bitness via
  perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit() to select appropriate kernel_space_start
  boundaries, avoiding 64-bit address injection on 32-bit platforms.

Changes since v11:
- Patch 1: Fixed struct dso name accessor in maps.c by using
  dso__name() instead of ->name.
- Patch 2: Fixed hash function in aslr.c to hash the underlying
  dso pointer using RC_CHK_ACCESS to support reference count checking.

Changes since v10:
- Patch 1: Added explicit tracking array logic in maps__load_maps()
  to correctly accumulate valid maps (skipping NULL entries after
  failures) and safely return the exact populated count, resolving
  out-of-bounds pointer iteration panics.
- Patch 3: Fixed endianness bug during cross-endian sample parsing
  by passing evsel->needs_swap instead of false to __evsel__parse_sample
  in aslr.c, ensuring correct 32-bit field byte unswapping for packed
  fields. Refactored evsel__parse_sample to take a needs_swap argument
  via __evsel__parse_sample.
- Patch 4: Fixed inject_aslr.sh exit code handling in trap functions
  to capture and propagate the correct pipeline failure status code
  instead of unconditionally returning success or failing the test.

Changes since v9:
- Patch 1: Added `-ENOMEM` error check inside
  `maps__find_symbol_by_name()` and return `NULL` early. Added map
  sorting state invalidation on early return in `maps__load_maps()`.
- Patch 2: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()`. Added
  `pr_warning_once` warning when raw auxtrace data is dropped.
- Patch 3: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
  `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__remap_address()`. Wrapped
  `evsel__parse_sample()` to temporarily disable `needs_swap` to avoid
  branch stack endianness corruption on cross-endian files. Fixed ISO
  C90 warning for declaration-after-statement for `orig_needs_swap`.
- Patch 4: Fixed duplicate cleanup by explicitly removing trap
  handlers (`trap - EXIT TERM INT`) inside the `cleanup()` function.
- Patch 5: Fixed heap corruption by adding size bounds checking before
  writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` fields. Added
  missing register mask clearing logic for the `itrace` synthesis path
  of `perf_event__repipe_attr()`.

[PATCH v20 1/5] perf maps: Add maps__mutate_mapping

[Ian Rogers]

During kernel ELF symbol parsing (dso__process_kernel_symbol), proc
kallsyms image loading (dso__load_kernel_sym,
dso__load_guest_kernel_sym), and dynamic kernel memory map alignment
updates (machine__update_kernel_mmap), the loader directly modifies
live virtual address boundary keys fields on map objects.  If these
boundaries are mutated while the map pointer actively resides inside
the parent maps cache array list (kmaps) outside of any lock closure,
an unsafe concurrent window is exposed where parallel worker lookup
threads (e.g., inside perf top) can mistakenly assume the cache
remains sorted based on stale parameters, executing binary search
queries (bsearch) across an unsorted range and triggering lookup
failures.

Fix this by introducing maps__mutate_mapping() that explicitly
acquires the parent maps write semaphore lock, executes an incoming
mutation callback block to perform the field updates under lock
protection, and invalidates the sorted tracking flags prior to
releasing the write lock. This guarantees synchronization invariants,
closing the concurrent lookup race window. The adjacent module
alignment pass inside machine__create_kernel_maps() is safely
preserved as a high-performance lockless pass, as its invocation
lifecycle bounds remain strictly single-threaded by contract during
session initialization construction.  To safely support this
unconditional down_write write lock mutator without recursive
read-to-write self-deadlock upgrades during lazy symbol loading, we
introduce a public maps__load_maps() API. It copies map pointers under
a brief read lock and force-loads all modules locklessly outside the
lock. Callers (such as perf inject) must pre-load all kernel symbol
maps up front at startup using maps__load_maps(), completely bypassing
dynamic runtime mutations.

Fixes: 39b12f781271 ("perf tools: Make it possible to read object code from vmlinux")

[PATCH v20 2/5] perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP tracking

[Ian Rogers]

If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

perf inject: Add ASLR virtual address remapping

This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events. Sample events are
delegated without remapping for now.

[Severity: Medium]
Could this introduce a TOCTOU (Time-Of-Check to Time-Of-Use) race condition?

Since event points directly to the memory-mapped perf.data file contents,
reading event->header.size multiple times without READ_ONCE allows a
concurrent modification to change the size between the malloc() and memcpy()
calls.

This could result in a heap buffer overflow during memcpy(), or bypass the
earlier size validation done in perf_event__process_attr(). This would leave
malicious sizes in the copied event->attr.attr.size for
aslr_tool__strip_attr_event() to blindly trust.

[Severity: Medium]
If a malicious size is copied into the heap buffer due to the TOCTOU race in
perf_event__repipe_attr(), does this code perform an out-of-bounds write?

Since aslr_tool__strip_attr_event() implicitly trusts the attr_size read
from the heap copy, clearing config1 and config2 could overwrite adjacent
heap memory if attr_size is large, but the actual allocated
event->header.size was small.

[PATCH v20 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[Ian Rogers]

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch
implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events,
remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings
collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw,
register, stack, physical address, and aux samples.

Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

Note on cross-endian compatibility:
'perf inject' functions as an endianness converter. Input files are read,
and their events are byte-swapped to host endianness in memory. When the
tool emits its output, it writes a host-endian PERF_MAGIC in the file
header, thereby marking the output file as host-endian natively.

Because the output file is always written in host endianness, events and
payloads must be constructed entirely using host-endian layouts. For this
reason, this patch explicitly un-packs and repacks PERF_SAMPLE_TID (and
PERF_SAMPLE_CPU) using unions to ensure that the sequential 32-bit layout
is correctly aligned in host endianness. Similarly, branch stack flags
(which are modified in-place to host-endian bitfields by the parser) are
copied directly to the newly synthesized event. When re-parsing the newly
synthesized event, 'needs_swap=false' is explicitly used to prevent double
swapping the already host-endian fields.

Re: [PATCH v20 3/5] perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remapping

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Addresses that cannot be remapped are destructively overwritten with 0.
- [Medium] Missing union-based repacking for PERF_SAMPLE_CPU causes cross-endian event synthesis failure.

commit 4363deb515e79cb7e3488a5d19b247858fb88edd
Author: Gabriel Marin <gmx@google.com>

Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool.

This patch implements sample event processing for the ASLR tool, parsing
sample events and remapping addresses like IPs, callchains, and branch stacks.
It also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function.

[Severity: High]
Does returning 0 here destructively overwrite valid non-randomized addresses?

If an address cannot be mapped (such as JIT code, vsyscall, or missing map
regions), returning 0 unconditionally overwrites the sample's IP, ADDR,
callchains, and branch stacks. Should this return the original addr instead
to avoid clustering profiler trace data at NULL?

[Severity: High]
Similarly, when the mapping is not in the remap_addresses hashmap, this will
return remap_addr which was initialized to 0. Would it be safer to default
remap_addr to the original addr instead of 0?

[Severity: Medium]
The commit message states that both PERF_SAMPLE_TID and PERF_SAMPLE_CPU must
be unpacked and repacked using unions to ensure correct 32-bit layout
alignment for cross-endian hosts. However, it looks like PERF_SAMPLE_CPU
blindly uses COPY_U64() here instead of a union.

Since the generic perf event parsing layer byte-swaps the 64-bit payload
array, this reverses the internal order of the two 32-bit fields (cpu and
res). Does copying this improperly swapped 64-bit word verbatim write the
reversed fields directly to the output, corrupting them when reparsed with
needs_swap=false?

[PATCH v20 4/5] perf aslr: Strip sample registers

[Ian Rogers]

Extend the ASLR tool stripping helpers to drop register dump payloads
by masking out the relevant perf_event_attr fields (sample_regs_user,
sample_regs_intr) when the delegated tool is handling the data.

struct aslr_evsel_priv maintains the original perf_event_attr values
and is looked up via the evsel_orig_attrs hashmap so that sample sizes
can be properly parsed even when bits are stripped from the pipeline.
This is critical for bounded array copying within aslr_tool__process_sample,
which relies on orig_sample_type to determine exactly which fields were
captured by the kernel before any stripping occurred.

This allows us to keep samples that would otherwise be dropped because
they contain registers, while still obfuscating the registers.

[PATCH v20 5/5] perf test: Add inject ASLR test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a new shell test to verify the feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for piped into.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
  dd workload to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow
  inside kernel privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.

The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions
to catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.

Note on kernel DSO normalization in the test script:
The test script deliberately normalizes all kernel DSOs to a generic
[kernel] tag before diffing, as obfuscating physical kernel addresses
forces perf report to occasionally shift samples between individual
modules and [kernel.kallsyms] due to the lack of valid host module
boundary maps.

Note on ARM:
Kernel-based ASLR test cases (test_kernel_aslr and test_kernel_report_aslr)
are skipped on ARM architectures (aarch64 and arm*) to bypass high latency
constraints (such as check_invariants() spending excessive execution time
in maps__split_kallsyms() on debug builds) and symbolization inconsistencies.

> Changes since v10:

> - Patch 3: Fixed endianness bug during cross-endian sample parsing
>   by passing evsel->needs_swap instead of false to __evsel__parse_sample

> Changes since v9:
> - Patch 1: Added `-ENOMEM` error check inside

>   sorting state invalidation on early return in `maps__load_maps()`.
> - Patch 2: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and
>   `thread__pid()` accessors in `aslr_tool__findnew_mapping()`. Added
>   `pr_warning_once` warning when raw auxtrace data is dropped.
> - Patch 3: Fixed encapsulation by using `thread__maps()` and

>   `evsel__parse_sample()` to temporarily disable `needs_swap` to avoid

> - Patch 5: Fixed heap corruption by adding size bounds checking before
>   writing to `sample_regs_user` and `sample_regs_intr` fields. Added

To summarize:

Patch 2:
 * TOCTOU if underlying event buffer mmaps change. Not an issue as
rewriting a perf.data file while it is being read is out of scope.

Patch 3:
 * Mapping addresses to 0 for unknown mappings is criticized but the
proposed alternative doesn't hide ASLR. This will cluster things on
address 0 but the fix is simply to ensure no MMAPs are missing.
 * Cross-endian issues, but as explained previously, these are out of scope.

The clang build issue reported by James and disabling the kernel
testing for ARM are both in the v20 series. So I think the patches are
ready for review/merging.

Thanks,
Ian
