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>

<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().

The XMM registers can only be collected by PEBS hardware events on the
platforms with PEBS baseline support, e.g. Icelake, not software/probe
events.

Add capabilities flag PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS to indicate the PMU
which support extended registers. For X86, the extended registers are
XMM registers.

Add has_extended_regs() to check if extended registers are applied.

The generic code define the mask of extended registers as 0 if arch
headers haven't overridden it.

<title>perf/ioctl: Add check for the sample_period value</title>

perf_event_open() limits the sample_period to 63 bits. See:

  0819b2e30ccb ("perf: Limit perf_event_attr::sample_period to 63 bits")

Make ioctl() consistent with it.

Also on PowerPC, negative sample_period could cause a recursive
PMIs leading to a hang (reported when running perf-fuzzer).

<title>perf/core: Fix perf_sample_regs_user() mm check</title>

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")

This patch add perf_pmu_resched() a global function that can be called
to force rescheduling of events for a given PMU. The function locks
both cpuctx and task_ctx internally. This will be used by a subsequent
patch.

<title>perf/core: Fix the address filtering fix</title>

<content type='text'>
The following recent commit:

  c60f83b813e5 ("perf, pt, coresight: Fix address filters for vmas with non-zero offset")

changes the address filtering logic to communicate filter ranges to the PMU driver
via a single address range object, instead of having the driver do the final bit of
math.

That change forgets to take into account kernel filters, which are not calculated
the same way as DSO based filters.

Fix that by passing the kernel filters the same way as file-based filters.
This doesn't require any additional changes in the drivers.

<title>perf/core: Fix perf_event_disable_inatomic() race</title>

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

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.
