[PATCH 1/2] perf tools: Check kptr_restrict for root

[Wang Nan]

If kptr_restrict is set to 2, even root is not allowed to see pointers.
This patch checks kptr_restrict even if euid == 0. For root, report
error if kptr_restrict is 2.

[PATCH 2/2] perf record: Fix crash when kptr is restricted

[Wang Nan]

Before this patch, a simple 'perf record' could fail if kptr_restrict
is set to 1 (for normal user) or 2 (for root):

 # perf record ls
 WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted,
 check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.

 Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux
 file is not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.

 Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.

 If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved
 even with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This patch skips perf_event__synthesize_kernel_mmap() when kptr is not
available.

Improves the situation, but kptr_restrict=2 still causes a segfault:


[root@jouet ~]# echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict 
[root@jouet ~]# perf record usleep 1
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved

Applying your patch and then investigating this other one.

sorry, hadn't seen this one, applying. :-)

Thanks, applied and added a:

Fixes: 45e90056904b ("perf machine: Do not bail out if not managing to read ref reloc symbol")

But I'll investigate a bit more later, as the patch fixes the problem,
but I think probably it'd be better to check what is not being set up
in the ref reloc symbol stuff not bailed out by the patch above.
