From 9b45f2007ea32b6511b98491bd224ae3dae1c5a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Christopherson Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2021 02:07:22 +0000 Subject: perf: Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU commit ff083a2d972f56bebfd82409ca62e5dfce950961 upstream. Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU to fix multiple possible errors. Luckily, all paths that read perf_guest_cbs already require RCU protection, e.g. to protect the callback chains, so only the direct perf_guest_cbs touchpoints need to be modified. Bug #1 is a simple lack of WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE behavior to ensure perf_guest_cbs isn't reloaded between a !NULL check and a dereference. Fixed via the READ_ONCE() in rcu_dereference(). Bug #2 is that on weakly-ordered architectures, updates to the callbacks themselves are not guaranteed to be visible before the pointer is made visible to readers. Fixed by the smp_store_release() in rcu_assign_pointer() when the new pointer is non-NULL. Bug #3 is that, because the callbacks are global, it's possible for readers to run in parallel with an unregisters, and thus a module implementing the callbacks can be unloaded while readers are in flight, resulting in a use-after-free. Fixed by a synchronize_rcu() call when unregistering callbacks. Bug #1 escaped notice because it's extremely unlikely a compiler will reload perf_guest_cbs in this sequence. perf_guest_cbs does get reloaded for future derefs, e.g. for ->is_user_mode(), but the ->is_in_guest() guard all but guarantees the consumer will win the race, e.g. to nullify perf_guest_cbs, KVM has to completely exit the guest and teardown down all VMs before KVM start its module unload / unregister sequence. This also makes it all but impossible to encounter bug #3. Bug #2 has not been a problem because all architectures that register callbacks are strongly ordered and/or have a static set of callbacks. But with help, unloading kvm_intel can trigger bug #1 e.g. wrapping perf_guest_cbs with READ_ONCE in perf_misc_flags() while spamming kvm_intel module load/unload leads to: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU: 6 PID: 1825 Comm: stress Not tainted 5.14.0-rc2+ #459 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 RIP: 0010:perf_misc_flags+0x1c/0x70 Call Trace: perf_prepare_sample+0x53/0x6b0 perf_event_output_forward+0x67/0x160 __perf_event_overflow+0x52/0xf0 handle_pmi_common+0x207/0x300 intel_pmu_handle_irq+0xcf/0x410 perf_event_nmi_handler+0x28/0x50 nmi_handle+0xc7/0x260 default_do_nmi+0x6b/0x170 exc_nmi+0x103/0x130 asm_exc_nmi+0x76/0xbf Fixes: 39447b386c84 ("perf: Enhance perf to allow for guest statistic collection from host") Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Reviewed-by: Paolo Bonzini Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211111020738.2512932-2-seanjc@google.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- include/linux/perf_event.h | 13 ++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include/linux') diff --git a/include/linux/perf_event.h b/include/linux/perf_event.h index 68ccc5b1913b..b7ac395513c0 100644 --- a/include/linux/perf_event.h +++ b/include/linux/perf_event.h @@ -1175,7 +1175,18 @@ extern void perf_event_bpf_event(struct bpf_prog *prog, enum perf_bpf_event_type type, u16 flags); -extern struct perf_guest_info_callbacks *perf_guest_cbs; +extern struct perf_guest_info_callbacks __rcu *perf_guest_cbs; +static inline struct perf_guest_info_callbacks *perf_get_guest_cbs(void) +{ + /* + * Callbacks are RCU-protected and must be READ_ONCE to avoid reloading + * the callbacks between a !NULL check and dereferences, to ensure + * pending stores/changes to the callback pointers are visible before a + * non-NULL perf_guest_cbs is visible to readers, and to prevent a + * module from unloading callbacks while readers are active. + */ + return rcu_dereference(perf_guest_cbs); +} extern int perf_register_guest_info_callbacks(struct perf_guest_info_callbacks *callbacks); extern int perf_unregister_guest_info_callbacks(struct perf_guest_info_callbacks *callbacks); -- cgit v1.2.3
