This is a bug found when implementing pretty-printing for the
landlock_add_rule system call, I decided to send this patch separately
because this is a serious bug that should be fixed fast.

I wrote a test program to do landlock_add_rule syscall in a loop,
yet perf trace -e landlock_add_rule freezes, giving no output.

This bug is introduced by the false understanding of the variable "key"
below:
```
for (key = 0; key < trace->sctbl->syscalls.nr_entries; ++key) {
	struct syscall *sc = trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key);
	...
}
```
The code above seems right at the beginning, but when looking at
syscalltbl.c, I found these lines:

```
for (i = 0; i <= syscalltbl_native_max_id; ++i)
	if (syscalltbl_native[i])
		++nr_entries;

entries = tbl->syscalls.entries = malloc(sizeof(struct syscall) * nr_entries);
...

for (i = 0, j = 0; i <= syscalltbl_native_max_id; ++i) {
	if (syscalltbl_native[i]) {
		entries[j].name = syscalltbl_native[i];
		entries[j].id = i;
		++j;
	}
}
```

meaning the key is merely an index to traverse the syscall table,
instead of the actual syscall id for this particular syscall.

So if one uses key to do trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key), because
key only goes up to trace->sctbl->syscalls.nr_entries, for example, on
my X86_64 machine, this number is 373, it will end up neglecting all
the rest of the syscall, in my case, everything after `rseq`, because
the traversal will stop at 373, and `rseq` is the last syscall whose id
is lower than 373

in tools/perf/arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.c:
```
	...
	[334] = "rseq",
	[424] = "pidfd_send_signal",
	...
```

The reason why the key is scrambled but perf trace works well is that
key is used in trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key) to do
trace->syscalls.table[id], this makes sure that the struct syscall returned
actually has an id the same value as key, making the later bpf_prog
matching all correct.

After fixing this bug, I can do perf trace on 38 more syscalls, and
because more syscalls are visible, we get 8 more syscalls that can be
augmented.

TL;DR:

These are the new syscalls that can be augmented
Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "open_tree"
Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "openat2"
Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "mount_setattr"
Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "move_mount"
Reusing "open" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "fsopen"
Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "fspick"
Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "faccessat2"
Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "fchmodat2"

as for the perf trace output:

before

perf $ perf trace -e faccessat2 --max-events=1
[no output]

after

perf $ ./perf trace -e faccessat2 --max-events=1
     0.000 ( 0.037 ms): waybar/958 faccessat2(dfd: 40, filename: "uevent")                               = 0

P.S. The reason why this bug was not found in the past five years is
probably because it only happens to the newer syscalls whose id is
greater, for instance, faccessat2 of id 439, which not a lot of people
care about when using perf trace.

…

Would you like to add the tag “Fixes” accordingly?

Thanks Howard, I'm not following this. Doesn't it make sense to use
the syscall number as its id?

Could we create a test for this? We have tests that list all perf
events and then running a perf command on them. It wouldn't be
possible to guarantee output.

It'd be  nice to document the struct with examples that explain the
confusion that's happened and is fixed here.

Yes, it makes perfect sense to use the syscall number as its id. But here:

sctbl->syscalls.nr_entries is not the upper bound of those syscall
ids, it is how many syscalls that are native to the system, that we
collected. We collect them this way(in util/syscalltbl.c):

> > }

As shown above, we only collect syscalls that are native to the architecture.

```
#if defined(__x86_64__)
#include <asm/syscalls_64.c>
const int syscalltbl_native_max_id = SYSCALLTBL_x86_64_MAX_ID;
static const char *const *syscalltbl_native = syscalltbl_x86_64;
```

So when collecting these entries of system calls, we neglect some of
the system calls that are not available on the system. How many system
calls are available? nr_entries of them are available.

But the real upper bound of the syscall id is syscalls.max_id.
```
tbl->syscalls.max_id = syscalltbl_native_max_id;
```

here is one example:

(think about s1 as syscall of id1, syscall s2 is not available on the system)

s1 s2 s3 s4 (max_id: 4)
s1 __ s3 s4 (nr_entries: 3)

If one uses nr_entries as the upper bound, we'll end up traversing
only the ids of s1, s2, s3 (of course, s2 doesn't exist so if you do
`perf trace -v` you will see the error message), and then we will lose
the precious and fully traceable s4.

What will happen is, in trace__init_syscalls_bpf_prog_array_maps(), if
you stop at nr_entries when traversing, you won't register bpf's
sys_enter program for some system calls, causing the bpf_tail_call to
fail. And if you fail, you fall through and return a 0, well, I have
to admit that I am still trying to understand this, but returning 0
means no sample, but if the bpf_tail_call succeeds,
syscall_unaugmented() is called, it returns a 1, and there will be
samples.

```
SEC("tp/raw_syscalls/sys_enter")
int syscall_unaugmented(struct syscall_enter_args *args)
{
return 1;
}
```

```
bpf_tail_call(args, &syscalls_sys_enter, augmented_args->args.syscall_nr);

// If not found on the PROG_ARRAY syscalls map, then we're filtering it:
return 0;
```

Sure, you can't guarantee the output because syscalls are architecture
and kernel version specific. I am running perf on kernel version
6.9.3, and my processor is X86_64. I tried to write the test script in
perl and shell script but failed, so here is a quick test in c if you
want to test it out. This is just doing 3 system calls though...

```
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <linux/landlock.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void ll()
{
syscall(SYS_landlock_add_rule, 0,
LANDLOCK_RULE_NET_PORT,
NULL, 0);
syscall(SYS_landlock_add_rule, 0,
LANDLOCK_RULE_PATH_BENEATH,
NULL, 0);
}

void opat2()
{
syscall(SYS_openat2, 114, "openat2 path", NULL, 0);
}

void faat2()
{
syscall(SYS_faccessat2, 0, "faccessat2 path", 0, 0);
}

int main()
{
printf("testing syscalls...");

while (1) {
ll();
opat2();
faat2();
sleep(1);
}

return 0;
}
```

Please save it as test.c, compile it with
```
gcc test.c -o test
```

Please compile the patched and original perf with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1.
The behaviour of BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 is correct.

Now please run it with this command below:
```
perf trace -e faccessat2,openat2,landlock_add_rule -- ./test
```

Or just run ./test, and open up a second shell, do `perf trace -e
faccessat2,openat2,landlock_add_rule` system wide, or do a `ps aux |
grep test` and specify -p <pid-of-the-test-program>

If I run the test program, trace it with the original perf, there is
not a single trace message on all of these three system calls. Because
in the syscall table on my machine:
```
[437] = "openat2",
[439] = "faccessat2",
[445] = "landlock_add_rule",
```
these system calls' ids are bigger than the syscalls.nr_entries(on my
machine, 373), they never got registered.

I'm not 100% sure that you will get the same output as mine, so please
tell me if there's any difference when testing. I'll write up a test
covering all system calls soon.

Here's another aspect of this, the simplest fix is just changing:

> > for (key = 0; key < trace->sctbl->syscalls.nr_entries; ++key) {

to

> > for (key = 0; key < trace->sctbl->syscalls.max_id; ++key) {

no problem.

But when you run `perf trace -e landlock_add_rule -v`, you get:
```
perf $ ./perf trace -e landlock_add_rule -v

```

The registration of syscall from 335 to 372 is totally unnecessary.

reminder:
```
[334] = "rseq",
[424] = "pidfd_send_signal",
```

For example, syscall of id 335 is not available on my X86_64 machine,
why even bother reading this syscall's info using
trace__syscall_info().

So with this patch, the verbose message will become:

Now only when reading native syscalls' information, if there's a
problem, there is an error message.

I think the desired behavior in
trace__init_syscalls_bpf_prog_array_maps() is that, when a system call
is not augmentable, you assign syscall_unaugmented() to it(via bpf
prog array)

But what happens is, when tracing landlock_add_rule, this program
never runs. Because there is never a bpf program registration for
landlock_add_rule, the key never reaches that high. With this patch,
it does.

So in util/bpf_skel/augmented_raw_syscalls.bpf.c, bpf_tail_call()
falls through, bpf program returns 0, there will be no samples. But if
it successfully calls syscall_unaugmented() and returns 1, there will
be samples.

But then again, if you build perf with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0, using no bpf
functionalities, everything is fine, but if you do want to use bpf
augmentation, you have to register the syscall, the key has to go up
to max_id, stopping at nr_entries is probably not what we want.

You mean the "struct __syscall"? That's just me trying to expose the
already existed "struct syscall" it in syscalltbl.h(originally in
syscalltbl.c, so it's private), so that I can use it in
builtin-trace.c. It was originally named "struct syscall", but we
already had one "struct syscall" in builtin-trace.c, so I renamed it
to "struct __syscall". Please tell me if this is inappropriate.

Right, trace->syscalls.table holds info read from tracefs, while
trace->sctbl holds info created from per-arch syscall tables, usually
from:

⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ find arch -name "*.tbl"
arch/alpha/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl
arch/arm/tools/syscall.tbl
arch/m68k/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl
arch/microblaze/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl
arch/mips/kernel/syscalls/syscall_n32.tbl
arch/mips/kernel/syscalls/syscall_n64.tbl
arch/mips/kernel/syscalls/syscall_o32.tbl
arch/parisc/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl
arch/powerpc/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl
arch/s390/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl
arch/sh/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl
arch/sparc/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl
arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl
arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
arch/xtensa/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl
⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$

trace->sctbl->syscalls.entries is sorted by name and has { syscall_id,
name } as contents.

But it is loaded at the time the reuse of BPF programs is attempted,
because initially we were using libaudit for getting id, that we get
from the tracepoint payload:

root@number:~# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/format

                   ^^
	field:unsigned long args[6];	offset:16;	size:48;	signed:0;

print fmt: "NR %ld (%lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx)", REC->id, REC->args[0], REC->args[1], REC->args[2], REC->args[3], REC->args[4], REC->args[5]
root@number:~#

To syscall name.

Your analysis is perfect, great! Please take a look at the attached
patch, that I'm testing now that is a simplification of your patch, that
avoids exposing that __syscall struct, reducing patch size by
introducing this instead:

+++ b/tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c

And then using it to go from the index to the syscall id in the loops
traversing the sorted trace->sctbl->

I did the above and got:

  63 before
  71 after
 134 total
root@number:~#

Which matches the 8 more reused bpf programs.

But interestingly I get this:

root@number:~# grep -E 'for "(open_tree|openat2|mount_setattr|move_mount|fsopen|fspick|faccessat2|fchmodat2)' after

Reusing "faccessat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "open_tree"
Reusing "faccessat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "openat2"

Which matches my expectations as the array we're traversing,
trace->sctbl->syscalls->entries is sorted by name.

That and the fact that the BPF code was hidden before having to use -e,
that got changed kinda recently when we switched to using BPF skels for
augmenting syscalls in 'perf trace':

⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ 

I.e. from August, 2023.

One had as well to ask for BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1, which now is default if all
it needs is available on the system.

I'll test it together with your btf_enum work.

Yeah, before there is no output, after, with the following test case:

{
	int err = faccessat2(123, argv[1], X_OK, AT_EACCESS | AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW);

Now to write another test case, this time for the landlock syscall, to
