commit f91072ed1b7283b13ca57fcfbece5a3b92726143 upstream.

There's a possible race in perf_mmap_close() when checking ring buffer's
mmap_count refcount value. The problem is that the mmap_count check is
not atomic because we call atomic_dec() and atomic_read() separately.

  perf_mmap_close:
  ...
   atomic_dec(&amp;rb-&gt;mmap_count);
   ...
   if (atomic_read(&amp;rb-&gt;mmap_count))
      goto out_put;

   &lt;ring buffer detach&gt;
   free_uid

out_put:
  ring_buffer_put(rb); /* could be last */

The race can happen when we have two (or more) events sharing same ring
buffer and they go through atomic_dec() and then they both see 0 as refcount
value later in atomic_read(). Then both will go on and execute code which
is meant to be run just once.

The code that detaches ring buffer is probably fine to be executed more
than once, but the problem is in calling free_uid(), which will later on
demonstrate in related crashes and refcount warnings, like:

  refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
  ...
  RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x6d/0xf
  ...
  Call Trace:
  prepare_creds+0x190/0x1e0
  copy_creds+0x35/0x172
  copy_process+0x471/0x1a80
  _do_fork+0x83/0x3a0

  __do_sys_clone+0x85/0xa0
  do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x1e0
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

Using atomic decrease and check instead of separated calls.

commit 7bdb157cdebbf95a1cd94ed2e01b338714075d00 upstream.

As shown through runtime testing, the "filename" allocation is not
always freed in perf_event_parse_addr_filter().

There are three possible ways that this could happen:

 - It could be allocated twice on subsequent iterations through the loop,
 - or leaked on the success path,
 - or on the failure path.

Clean up the code flow to make it obvious that 'filename' is always
freed in the reallocation path and in the two return paths as well.

We rely on the fact that kfree(NULL) is NOP and filename is initialized
with NULL.

This fixes the leak. No other side effects expected.

[ Dan Carpenter: cleaned up the code flow &amp; added a changelog. ]
[ Ingo Molnar: updated the changelog some more. ]

The error handling introduced by commit:

  2ed6edd33a21 ("perf: Add cond_resched() to task_function_call()")

looses any return value from smp_call_function_single() that is not
{0, -EINVAL}. This is a problem because it will return -EXNIO when the
target CPU is offline. Worse, in that case it'll turn into an infinite
loop.

commit 2ed6edd33a214bca02bd2b45e3fc3038a059436b upstream.

Under rare circumstances, task_function_call() can repeatedly fail and
cause a soft lockup.

There is a slight race where the process is no longer running on the cpu
we targeted by the time remote_function() runs.  The code will simply
try again.  If we are very unlucky, this will continue to fail, until a
watchdog fires.  This can happen in a heavily loaded, multi-core virtual
machine.

[ Upstream commit d3296fb372bf7497b0e5d0478c4e7a677ec6f6e9 ]

We hit following warning when running tests on kernel
compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y:

 WARNING: CPU: 19 PID: 4472 at mm/gup.c:2381 __get_user_pages_fast+0x1a4/0x200

While __get_user_pages_fast() is IRQ-safe, it calls access_ok(),
which warns on:

  WARN_ON_ONCE(!in_task() &amp;&amp; !pagefault_disabled())

Peter suggested disabling page faults around __get_user_pages_fast(),
which gets rid of the warning in access_ok() call.

<title>perf/core: Fix mlock accounting in perf_mmap()</title>

commit 003461559ef7a9bd0239bae35a22ad8924d6e9ad upstream.

Decreasing sysctl_perf_event_mlock between two consecutive perf_mmap()s of
a perf ring buffer may lead to an integer underflow in locked memory
accounting. This may lead to the undesired behaviors, such as failures in
BPF map creation.

Address this by adjusting the accounting logic to take into account the
possibility that the amount of already locked memory may exceed the
current limit.

<title>perf: Correctly handle failed perf_get_aux_event()</title>

commit da9ec3d3dd0f1240a48920be063448a2242dbd90 upstream.

Vince reports a worrying issue:

| so I was tracking down some odd behavior in the perf_fuzzer which turns
| out to be because perf_even_open() sometimes returns 0 (indicating a file
| descriptor of 0) even though as far as I can tell stdin is still open.

... and further the cause:

| error is triggered if aux_sample_size has non-zero value.
|
| seems to be this line in kernel/events/core.c:
|
| if (perf_need_aux_event(event) &amp;&amp; !perf_get_aux_event(event, group_leader))
|                goto err_locked;
|
| (note, err is never set)

This seems to be a thinko in commit:

  ab43762ef010967e ("perf: Allow normal events to output AUX data")

... and we should probably return -EINVAL here, as this should only
happen when the new event is mis-configured or does not have a
compatible aux_event group leader.
