[PATCH] perf test: Test 73 Sig_trap fails on s390

[PATCH] perf test: Test 73 Sig_trap fails on s390

[Thomas Richter]

In Linux next kernel
Commit 5504f67944484 ("perf test sigtrap: Add basic stress test for sigtrap handling")
introduced the new test which uses breakpoint events.
These events are not supported on s390 and PowerPC and always fail:

 # perf test -F 73
 73: Sigtrap                                                         : FAILED!
 #

Fix it the same way as in the breakpoint tests in file
tests/bp_account.c where these type of tests are skipped on
s390 and PowerPC platforms.

With this patch skip this test on both platforms.

Output after:
 # ./perf test -F 73
 73: Sigtrap

Fixes: 5504f67944484 ("perf test sigtrap: Add basic stress test for sigtrap handling")

I am finding that this test hangs on my arm64 machine:

john@debian:~/kernel-dev2/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf test -vvv 73
  73: Sigtrap:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 45193

And fails on my x86 broadwell machine:

john@localhost:~/kernel-dev2/tools/perf> sudo ./perf test -v 73
73: Sigtrap                                                         :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 22255
FAILED sys_perf_event_open(): Argument list too long
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sigtrap: FAILED!
john@localhost:~/kernel-dev2/tools/perf>

Are there more architectures+platforms for which we need to skip this test?

Thanks,
John

Both Arm and Arm64 platforms cannot support signal handler with
breakpoint, please see the details in [1].  So I think we need
something like below:

static int test__sigtrap(struct test_suite *test __maybe_unused, int subtest __maybe_unused)
{
        ...

        if (!BP_SIGNAL_IS_SUPPORTED) {
                pr_debug("Test not supported on this architecture");
                return TEST_SKIP;
        }

        ...
}

Since we have defined BP_SIGNAL_IS_SUPPORTED, I think we can reuse it at
here.

It is a bit suprise for the failure on x86, as I remembered x86 platform
can support signal handler with hw breakpoint.  And from the error
"Argument list too long", it should be a different issue from other
archs.

Do you know any other architectures which would have this issue? Or a 
generic way to check for support?

It's better to not have to add to this list arch-by-arch..

Yeah, it's ugly to add archs one by one.  But I don't find an ABI can
be used to make decision if an arch supports signal handler for
breakpoint.  Usually, it's architecture specific operations for signal
handling, see the code [1]; simply to say, architecture needs to disable
single step when call signal handler and restore single step after
return from signal handler.

Seems to there have incompatible issue.
Maybe you could cleanup with "make clean" and then rebuild perf.

Yeah, it's ugly to add archs one by one.  But I don't find an ABI can
be used to make decision if an arch supports signal handler for
breakpoint.  Usually, it's architecture specific operations for signal
handling, see the code [1]; simply to say, architecture needs to disable
single step when call signal handler and restore single step after
return from signal handler.

Seems to there have incompatible issue.
Maybe you could cleanup with "make clean" and then rebuild perf.

Does this limitation also exist for address watchpoints? The sigtrap
test does not make use of instruction breakpoints, but instead just
sets up a watchpoint on access to a data address.

Yes, after reading the code, the flow for either instrution breakpoint
or watchpoint both use the single step [1], thus the signal handler will
take the single step execution and lead to the infinite loop.

Hi Will, John,

I wonder if PSTATE.D flag can be used to resolve this
(similar to x86's use of EFLAGS.RF)?
I naively tried to do:

void OnSigtrap(int sig, siginfo_t* info, void* uctx) {
  auto& mctx = static_cast<ucontext_t*>(uctx)->uc_mcontext;
  mctx.pstate |= PSR_D_BIT;
}

But then I got a SIGSEGV from kernel.
But I wasn't able to track yet what part of the kernel did
not like setting of D bit.

I did a naive attempt of moving enabling of single-stepping from
watchpoint_handler() to rt_sigreturn(), so that we step over the
intended trapping instruction rather than first instruction of the
signal handler:
https://github.com/dvyukov/linux/commit/dfd6903d9c6538e3ad792c1df6ffbcce2072b12b
(the patch is just a prototype, wrong in lots of ways)

This almost worked:
 - we correctly did not enable single-stepping for the signal handler
 - rt_sigreturn correctly detected this case and enabled
single-stepping after restoring the original pr_regs

However, after re_sigreturn I got a call to single_step_handler() with
pt_regs pointing to the first instruction of the signal handler again.
I can't explain this, I am not sure how/where the signal handler PC
got into the picture again... we should have got single_step_handler()
with pt_regs pointing to the original trapping instruction (the next
instruction to be precise).

I did a naive attempt of moving enabling of single-stepping from
watchpoint_handler() to rt_sigreturn(), so that we step over the
intended trapping instruction rather than first instruction of the
signal handler:
https://github.com/dvyukov/linux/commit/dfd6903d9c6538e3ad792c1df6ffbcce2072b12b
(the patch is just a prototype, wrong in lots of ways)

This almost worked:
 - we correctly did not enable single-stepping for the signal handler
 - rt_sigreturn correctly detected this case and enabled
single-stepping after restoring the original pr_regs

However, after re_sigreturn I got a call to single_step_handler() with
pt_regs pointing to the first instruction of the signal handler again.
I can't explain this, I am not sure how/where the signal handler PC
got into the picture again... we should have got single_step_handler()
with pt_regs pointing to the original trapping instruction (the next
instruction to be precise).

Sorry, I haven't had time to look at this (or the thousands of other mails
in my inbox) lately.

I don't recall all of the details, but basically hw_breakpoint really
doesn't work well on arm/arm64 -- the sticking points are around handling
the stepping and whether to step into or over exceptions. Sadly, our ptrace
interface (which is what is used by GDB) is built on top of hw_breakpoint,
so we can't just rip it out and any significant changes are pretty risky.

What I would like to happen is that we rework our debug exception handling
as outlined by [1] so that kernel debug is better defined and the ptrace
interface can interact directly with the debug architecture instead of being
funnelled through hw_breakpoint. Once we have that, I think we could try to
improve hw_breakpoint much more comfortably (or at least defeature it
considerably without having to worry about breaking GDB). I started this a
couple of years ago, but I haven't found time to get back to it for ages.

Anyway, to this specific test...

When we hit a break/watchpoint the faulting PC points at the instruction
which faulted and the exception is reported before the instruction has had
any other side-effects (e.g. if a watchpoint triggers on a store, then
memory will not have been updated when the watchpoint handler runs), so if
we were to return as usual after reporting the exception to perf then we
would just hit the same break/watchpoint again and we'd get stuck. GDB
handles stepping over the faulting instruction, but for perf (and assumedly
these tests), the kernel is expected to handle the step. This handling
amounts to disabling the break/watchpoint which we think we hit and then
attempting a hardware single-step. During the step we could run into more
break/watchpoints on the same instruction, so we'll keep disabling things
until we eventually manage to complete the step, which is signalled by a
specific type of debug exception. At this point, we re-enable the
break/watchpoints and we're good.

Signals make this messy, as the step logic will step _into_ the signal
handler -- we have to do this, otherwise we would miss break/watchpoints
triggered by the signal handler if we had disabled them for the step.
However, it means that when we return back from the signal handler we will
run back into the break/watchpoint which we initially stepped over. When
perf uses SIGTRAP to notify userspace that we hit a break/watchpoint,
then we'll get stuck because we'll step into the handler every time.

Hopefully that clears things up a bit. Ideally, the kernel wouldn't
pretend to handle this stepping at all for arm64 as it adds a bunch of
complexity, overhead to our context-switch and I don't think the current
behaviour is particularly useful.

It does and fwiw I am just trying to use it. Things work only on x86 so far.

So here we have agreement to disable the cases for Arm64/Arm.

John, since you put much efforts to follow up the issue, I'd like to
leave decision to you if you want to proceed for patches?  Otherwise,
I will send patches to disable cases in perf.

Thanks,
Leo
