commit 451d24d1e5f40bad000fa9abe36ddb16fc9928cb upstream.

Alexei had his box explode because doing read() on a package
(rapl/uncore) event that isn't currently scheduled in ends up doing an
out-of-bounds load.

Rework the code to more explicitly deal with event-&gt;oncpu being -1.

commit 0b3589be9b98994ce3d5aeca52445d1f5627c4ba upstream.

Andres reported that MMAP2 records for anonymous memory always have
their protection field 0.

Turns out, someone daft put the prot/flags generation code in the file
branch, leaving them unset for anonymous memory.

commit a76a82a3e38c8d3fb6499e3dfaeb0949241ab588 upstream.

Dmitry reported a KASAN use-after-free on event-&gt;group_leader.

It turns out there's a hole in perf_remove_from_context() due to
event_function_call() not calling its function when the task
associated with the event is already dead.

In this case the event will have been detached from the task, but the
grouping will have been retained, such that group operations might
still work properly while there are live child events etc.

This does however mean that we can miss a perf_group_detach() call
when the group decomposes, this in turn can then lead to
use-after-free.

Fix it by explicitly doing the group detach if its still required.

<title>perf/core: Fix concurrent sys_perf_event_open() vs. 'move_group' race</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 321027c1fe77f892f4ea07846aeae08cefbbb290 upstream.

Di Shen reported a race between two concurrent sys_perf_event_open()
calls where both try and move the same pre-existing software group
into a hardware context.

The problem is exactly that described in commit:

  f63a8daa5812 ("perf: Fix event-&gt;ctx locking")

... where, while we wait for a ctx-&gt;mutex acquisition, the event-&gt;ctx
relation can have changed under us.

That very same commit failed to recognise sys_perf_event_context() as an
external access vector to the events and thereby didn't apply the
established locking rules correctly.

So while one sys_perf_event_open() call is stuck waiting on
mutex_lock_double(), the other (which owns said locks) moves the group
about. So by the time the former sys_perf_event_open() acquires the
locks, the context we've acquired is stale (and possibly dead).

Apply the established locking rules as per perf_event_ctx_lock_nested()
to the mutex_lock_double() for the 'move_group' case. This obviously means
we need to validate state after we acquire the locks.

The warning introduced in commit:

assumed that a cgroup switch always precedes list_del_event. This is
not the case. Remove warning.

Make sure that cpuctx-&gt;cgrp is NULL until a cgroup event is sched in
or ctx-&gt;nr_cgroups == 0.

The token table passed into match_token() must be null-terminated, which
it currently is not in the perf's address filter string parser, as caught
by Vince's perf_fuzzer and KASAN.

It doesn't blow up otherwise because of the alignment padding of the table
to the next element in the .rodata, which is luck.

Fixing by adding a null-terminator to the token table.

Commit:

  db4a835601b7 ("perf/core: Set cgroup in CPU contexts for new cgroup events")

failed to verify that event-&gt;cgrp is actually the scheduled cgroup
in a CPU before setting cpuctx-&gt;cgrp. This patch fixes that.

Now that there is a different path for scheduled and unscheduled
cgroup, add a warning to catch when cpuctx-&gt;cgrp is still set after
the last cgroup event has been unsheduled.

To verify the bug:

  # Create 2 cgroups.
  mkdir /dev/cgroups/devices/g1
  mkdir /dev/cgroups/devices/g2

  # launch a task, bind it to a cpu and move it to g1
  CPU=2
  while :; do : ; done &amp;
  P=$!

  taskset -pc $CPU $P
  echo $P &gt; /dev/cgroups/devices/g1/tasks

  # monitor g2 (it runs no tasks) and observe output
  perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C $CPU -G g2

  #           time             counts unit events
     1.000091408          7,579,527      cycles                    g2
     2.000350111      &lt;not counted&gt;      cycles                    g2
     3.000589181      &lt;not counted&gt;      cycles                    g2
     4.000771428      &lt;not counted&gt;      cycles                    g2

  # note first line that displays that a task run in g2, despite
  # g2 having no tasks. This is because cpuctx-&gt;cgrp was wrongly
  # set when context of new event was installed.
  # After applying the fix we obtain the right output:

  perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C $CPU -G g2
  #           time             counts unit events
     1.000119615      &lt;not counted&gt;      cycles                    g2
     2.000389430      &lt;not counted&gt;      cycles                    g2
     3.000590962      &lt;not counted&gt;      cycles                    g2

While it looks like the first WARN() is probably valid, the other one is
triggered by disabling event via perf_event_disable() from atomic context.

The event is disabled here in case we were not able to emulate
the instruction that hit the breakpoint. By disabling the event
we unschedule the event and make sure it's not scheduled back.

But we can't call perf_event_disable() from atomic context, instead
we need to use the event's pending_disable irq_work method to disable it.

enabled by the CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y option:

  https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&amp;m=147688837328451

The reason for the crash is that perf_pmu_unregister() tries to remove
a PMU device which is not added at this point. We add PMU devices
only after pmu_bus is registered, which happens in the
perf_event_sysfs_init() call and sets the 'pmu_bus_running' flag.

The fix is to get the 'pmu_bus_running' flag state at the point
the PMU is taken out of the PMU list and remove the device
later only if it's set.
