perf/x86: Fix out of range data
On x86 each struct cpu_hw_events maintains a table for counter assignment but
it missed to update one for the deleted event in x86_pmu_del(). This
can make perf_clear_dirty_counters() reset used counter if it's called
before event scheduling or enabling. Then it would return out of range
data which doesn't make sense.
The following code can reproduce the problem.
$ cat repro.c
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <linux/perf_event.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
struct perf_event_attr attr = {
.type = PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE,
.config = PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES,
.disabled = 1,
};
void *worker(void *arg)
{
int cpu = (long)arg;
int fd1 = syscall(SYS_perf_event_open, &attr, -1, cpu, -1, 0);
int fd2 = syscall(SYS_perf_event_open, &attr, -1, cpu, -1, 0);
void *p;
do {
ioctl(fd1, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, 0);
p = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd1, 0);
ioctl(fd2, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, 0);
ioctl(fd2, PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE, 0);
munmap(p, 4096);
ioctl(fd1, PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE, 0);
} while (1);
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
int i;
int n = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN);
pthread_t *th = calloc(n, sizeof(*th));
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
pthread_create(&th[i], NULL, worker, (void *)(long)i);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
pthread_join(th[i], NULL);
free(th);
return 0;
}
And you can see the out of range data using perf stat like this.
Probably it'd be easier to see on a large machine.
$ gcc -o repro repro.c -pthread
$ ./repro &
$ sudo perf stat -A -I 1000 2>&1 | awk '{ if (length($3) > 15) print }'

It should move the contents in the cpuc->assign as well.
