[ Upstream commit 4ce54af8b33d3e21ca935fc1b89b58cbba956051 ]

Some hardware PMU drivers will override perf_event.cpu inside their
event_init callback. This causes a lockdep splat when initialized through
the kernel API:

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 250 at kernel/events/core.c:2917 ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208
 pc : ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208
 Call trace:
  ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208
  __perf_install_in_context+0x160/0x248
  remote_function+0x58/0x68
  generic_exec_single+0x100/0x180
  smp_call_function_single+0x174/0x1b8
  perf_install_in_context+0x178/0x188
  perf_event_create_kernel_counter+0x118/0x160

Fix this by calling perf_install_in_context with event-&gt;cpu, just like
perf_event_open

commit 1cf8dfe8a661f0462925df943140e9f6d1ea5233 upstream.

Syzcaller reported the following Use-after-Free bug:

	close()						clone()

							  copy_process()
							    perf_event_init_task()
							      perf_event_init_context()
							        mutex_lock(parent_ctx-&gt;mutex)
								inherit_task_group()
								  inherit_group()
								    inherit_event()
								      mutex_lock(event-&gt;child_mutex)
								      // expose event on child list
								      list_add_tail()
								      mutex_unlock(event-&gt;child_mutex)
							        mutex_unlock(parent_ctx-&gt;mutex)

							    ...
							    goto bad_fork_*

							  bad_fork_cleanup_perf:
							    perf_event_free_task()

	  perf_release()
	    perf_event_release_kernel()
	      list_for_each_entry()
		mutex_lock(ctx-&gt;mutex)
		mutex_lock(event-&gt;child_mutex)
		// event is from the failing inherit
		// on the other CPU
		perf_remove_from_context()
		list_move()
		mutex_unlock(event-&gt;child_mutex)
		mutex_unlock(ctx-&gt;mutex)

							      mutex_lock(ctx-&gt;mutex)
							      list_for_each_entry_safe()
							        // event already stolen
							      mutex_unlock(ctx-&gt;mutex)

							    delayed_free_task()
							      free_task()

	     list_for_each_entry_safe()
	       list_del()
	       free_event()
	         _free_event()
		   // and so event-&gt;hw.target
		   // is the already freed failed clone()
		   if (event-&gt;hw.target)
		     put_task_struct(event-&gt;hw.target)
		       // WHOOPSIE, already quite dead

Which puts the lie to the the comment on perf_event_free_task():
'unexposed, unused context' not so much.

Which is a 'fun' confluence of fail; copy_process() doing an
unconditional free_task() and not respecting refcounts, and perf having
creative locking. In particular:

  82d94856fa22 ("perf/core: Fix lock inversion between perf,trace,cpuhp")

seems to have overlooked this 'fun' parade.

Solve it by using the fact that detached events still have a reference
count on their (previous) context. With this perf_event_free_task()
can detect when events have escaped and wait for their destruction.

<title>perf/core: Fix exclusive events' grouping</title>

<id>75100ec5f079c5c3c65b28a6b8d360acfe00b983</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8a58ddae23796c733c5dfbd717538d89d036c5bd upstream.

So far, we tried to disallow grouping exclusive events for the fear of
complications they would cause with moving between contexts. Specifically,
moving a software group to a hardware context would violate the exclusivity
rules if both groups contain matching exclusive events.

This attempt was, however, unsuccessful: the check that we have in the
perf_event_open() syscall is both wrong (looks at wrong PMU) and
insufficient (group leader may still be exclusive), as can be illustrated
by running:

  $ perf record -e '{intel_pt//,cycles}' uname
  $ perf record -e '{cycles,intel_pt//}' uname

ultimately successfully.

Furthermore, we are completely free to trigger the exclusivity violation
by:

   perf -e '{cycles,intel_pt//}' -e '{intel_pt//,instructions}'

even though the helpful perf record will not allow that, the ABI will.

The warning later in the perf_event_open() path will also not trigger, because
it's also wrong.

Fix all this by validating the original group before moving, getting rid
of broken safeguards and placing a useful one to perf_install_in_context().

[ Upstream commit 085ebfe937d7a7a5df1729f35a12d6d655fea68c ]

perf_sample_regs_user() uses 'current-&gt;mm' to test for the presence of
userspace, but this is insufficient, consider use_mm().

A better test is: '!(current-&gt;flags &amp; PF_KTHREAD)', exec() clears
PF_KTHREAD after it sets the new -&gt;mm but before it drops to userspace
for the first time.

Possibly obsoletes: bf05fc25f268 ("powerpc/perf: Fix oops when kthread execs user process")

Thomas-Mich Richter reported he triggered a WARN()ing from event_function_local()
on his s390. The problem boils down to:

	CPU-A				CPU-B

	perf_event_overflow()
	  perf_event_disable_inatomic()
	    @pending_disable = 1
	    irq_work_queue();

					sched-in
					perf_event_overflow()
					  perf_event_disable_inatomic()
					    @pending_disable = 1;
					    irq_work_queue(); // FAILS

	irq_work_run()
	  perf_pending_event()
	    if (@pending_disable)
	      perf_event_disable_local(); // WHOOPS

The problem exists in generic, but s390 is particularly sensitive
because it doesn't implement arch_irq_work_raise(), nor does it call
irq_work_run() from it's PMU interrupt handler (nor would that be
sufficient in this case, because s390 also generates
perf_event_overflow() from pmu::stop). Add to that the fact that s390
is a virtual architecture and (virtual) CPU-A can stall long enough
for the above race to happen, even if it would self-IPI.

Adding a irq_work_sync() to event_sched_in() would work for all hardare
PMUs that properly use irq_work_run() but fails for software PMUs.

Instead encode the CPU number in @pending_disable, such that we can
tell which CPU requested the disable. This then allows us to detect
the above scenario and even redirect the IPI to make up for the failed
queue.

[ Upstream commit 1d54ad944074010609562da5c89e4f5df2f4e5db ]

Thomas-Mich Richter reported he triggered a WARN()ing from event_function_local()
on his s390. The problem boils down to:

	CPU-A				CPU-B

	perf_event_overflow()
	  perf_event_disable_inatomic()
	    @pending_disable = 1
	    irq_work_queue();

	sched-out
	  event_sched_out()
	    @pending_disable = 0

					sched-in
					perf_event_overflow()
					  perf_event_disable_inatomic()
					    @pending_disable = 1;
					    irq_work_queue(); // FAILS

	irq_work_run()
	  perf_pending_event()
	    if (@pending_disable)
	      perf_event_disable_local(); // WHOOPS

<title>perf/core: Restore mmap record type correctly</title>

[ Upstream commit d9c1bb2f6a2157b38e8eb63af437cb22701d31ee ]

On mmap(), perf_events generates a RECORD_MMAP record and then checks
which events are interested in this record. There are currently 2
versions of mmap records: RECORD_MMAP and RECORD_MMAP2. MMAP2 is larger.
The event configuration controls which version the user level tool
accepts.

If the event-&gt;attr.mmap2=1 field then MMAP2 record is returned.  The
perf_event_mmap_output() takes care of this. It checks attr-&gt;mmap2 and
corrects the record fields before putting it in the sampling buffer of
the event.  At the end the function restores the modified MMAP record
fields.

The problem is that the function restores the size but not the type.
Thus, if a subsequent event only accepts MMAP type, then it would
instead receive an MMAP2 record with a size of MMAP record.

This patch fixes the problem by restoring the record type on exit.

<title>perf core: Fix perf_proc_update_handler() bug</title>

[ Upstream commit 1a51c5da5acc6c188c917ba572eebac5f8793432 ]

The perf_proc_update_handler() handles /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
syctl variable.  When the PMU IRQ handler timing monitoring is disabled, i.e,
when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent is equal to 0 or 100,
then no modification to sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate is allowed to prevent
possible hang from wrong values.

The problem is that the test to prevent modification is made after the
sysctl variable is modified in perf_proc_update_handler().

You get an error:

  $ echo 10001 &gt;/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
  echo: write error: invalid argument

But the value is still modified causing all sorts of inconsistencies:

  $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
  10001

This patch fixes the problem by moving the parsing of the value after
the test.

Committer testing:

  # echo 100 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent
  # echo 10001 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
  10001

commit 81ec3f3c4c4d78f2d3b6689c9816bfbdf7417dbb upstream.

Vince (and later on Ravi) reported crashes in the BTS code during
fuzzing with the following backtrace:

  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  ...
  RIP: 0010:perf_prepare_sample+0x8f/0x510

   smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x3e/0xe0
   call_function_single_interrupt+0xf/0x20
   &lt;/IRQ&gt;

The reason is that while event init code does several checks
for BTS events and prevents several unwanted config bits for
BTS event (like precise_ip), the PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD allows
to create BTS event without those checks being done.

Following sequence will cause the crash:

If we create an 'almost' BTS event with precise_ip and callchains,
and it into a BTS event it will crash the perf_prepare_sample()
function because precise_ip events are expected to come
in with callchain data initialized, but that's not the
case for intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() caller.

Adding a check_period callback to be called before the period
is changed via PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD. It will deny the change
if the event would become BTS. Plus adding also the limit_period
check as well.

<title>perf/ring_buffer: Prevent concurent ring buffer access</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=cd6fb677ce7e460c25bdd66f689734102ec7d642'/>
<id>cd6fb677ce7e460c25bdd66f689734102ec7d642</id>
<content type='text'>
Some of the scheduling tracepoints allow the perf_tp_event
code to write to ring buffer under different cpu than the
code is running on.

This results in corrupted ring buffer data demonstrated in
following perf commands:

  # perf record -e 'sched:sched_switch,sched:sched_wakeup' perf bench sched messaging
  # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
  # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
  # 10 groups == 400 processes run

       Total time: 0.383 [sec]
  [ perf record: Woken up 8 times to write data ]
  0x42b890 [0]: failed to process type: -1765585640
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.825 MB perf.data (29669 samples) ]

  # perf report --stdio
  0x42b890 [0]: failed to process type: -1765585640

The reason for the corruption are some of the scheduling tracepoints,
that have __perf_task dfined and thus allow to store data to another
cpu ring buffer:

  sched_waking
  sched_wakeup
  sched_wakeup_new
  sched_stat_wait
  sched_stat_sleep
  sched_stat_iowait
  sched_stat_blocked

The perf_tp_event function first store samples for current cpu
related events defined for tracepoint:

    hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(event, head, hlist_entry)
      perf_swevent_event(event, count, &amp;data, regs);

And then iterates events of the 'task' and store the sample
for any task's event that passes tracepoint checks:

  ctx = rcu_dereference(task-&gt;perf_event_ctxp[perf_sw_context]);

  list_for_each_entry_rcu(event, &amp;ctx-&gt;event_list, event_entry) {
    if (event-&gt;attr.type != PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT)
      continue;
    if (event-&gt;attr.config != entry-&gt;type)
      continue;

    perf_swevent_event(event, count, &amp;data, regs);
  }

Above code can race with same code running on another cpu,
ending up with 2 cpus trying to store under the same ring
buffer, which is specifically not allowed.

This patch prevents the problem, by allowing only events with the same
current cpu to receive the event.

NOTE: this requires the use of (per-task-)per-cpu buffers for this
feature to work; perf-record does this.

Some of the scheduling tracepoints allow the perf_tp_event
code to write to ring buffer under different cpu than the
code is running on.

This results in corrupted ring buffer data demonstrated in
following perf commands:

  # perf record -e 'sched:sched_switch,sched:sched_wakeup' perf bench sched messaging
  # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
  # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
  # 10 groups == 400 processes run

       Total time: 0.383 [sec]
  [ perf record: Woken up 8 times to write data ]
  0x42b890 [0]: failed to process type: -1765585640
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.825 MB perf.data (29669 samples) ]

  # perf report --stdio
  0x42b890 [0]: failed to process type: -1765585640

The reason for the corruption are some of the scheduling tracepoints,
that have __perf_task dfined and thus allow to store data to another
cpu ring buffer:

  sched_waking
  sched_wakeup
  sched_wakeup_new
  sched_stat_wait
  sched_stat_sleep
  sched_stat_iowait
  sched_stat_blocked

The perf_tp_event function first store samples for current cpu
related events defined for tracepoint:

    hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(event, head, hlist_entry)
      perf_swevent_event(event, count, &amp;data, regs);

And then iterates events of the 'task' and store the sample
for any task's event that passes tracepoint checks:

  ctx = rcu_dereference(task-&gt;perf_event_ctxp[perf_sw_context]);

  list_for_each_entry_rcu(event, &amp;ctx-&gt;event_list, event_entry) {
    if (event-&gt;attr.type != PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT)
      continue;
    if (event-&gt;attr.config != entry-&gt;type)
      continue;

    perf_swevent_event(event, count, &amp;data, regs);
  }

Above code can race with same code running on another cpu,
ending up with 2 cpus trying to store under the same ring
buffer, which is specifically not allowed.

This patch prevents the problem, by allowing only events with the same
current cpu to receive the event.

When we unregister a PMU, we fail to serialize the @pmu_idr properly.
Fix that by doing the entire thing under pmu_lock.
