commit f67b15037a7a50c57f72e69a6d59941ad90a0f0f upstream.

Annoyingly, modify_user_hw_breakpoint() unnecessarily complicates the
modification of a breakpoint - simplify it and remove the pointless
local variables.

Also update the stale Docbook while at it.

commit 500ad2d8b01390c98bc6dce068bccfa9534b8212 upstream.

While debugging a warning message on PowerPC while using hardware
breakpoints, it was discovered that when perf_event_disable is invoked
through hw_breakpoint_handler function with interrupts disabled, a
subsequent IPI in the code path would trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE message in
smp_call_function_single function.

This patch calls __perf_event_disable() when interrupts are already
disabled, instead of perf_event_disable().

commit 64aee2a965cf2954a038b5522f11d2cd2f0f8f3e upstream.

Regardless of which events form a group, it does not make sense for the
events to target different tasks and/or CPUs, as this leaves the group
inconsistent and impossible to schedule. The core perf code assumes that
these are consistent across (successfully intialised) groups.

Core perf code only verifies this when moving SW events into a HW
context. Thus, we can violate this requirement for pure SW groups and
pure HW groups, unless the relevant PMU driver happens to perform this
verification itself. These mismatched groups subsequently wreak havoc
elsewhere.

For example, we handle watchpoints as SW events, and reserve watchpoint
HW on a per-CPU basis at pmu::event_init() time to ensure that any event
that is initialised is guaranteed to have a slot at pmu::add() time.
However, the core code only checks the group leader's cpu filter (via
event_filter_match()), and can thus install follower events onto CPUs
violating thier (mismatched) CPU filters, potentially installing them
into a CPU without sufficient reserved slots.

This can be triggered with the below test case, resulting in warnings
from arch backends.

  #define _GNU_SOURCE
  #include &lt;linux/hw_breakpoint.h&gt;

			   int group_fd, unsigned long flags)
  {
	return syscall(__NR_perf_event_open, attr, pid, cpu, group_fd, flags);
  }

  char watched_char;

  struct perf_event_attr wp_attr = {
	.type = PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT,
	.bp_type = HW_BREAKPOINT_RW,
	.bp_addr = (unsigned long)&amp;watched_char,
	.bp_len = 1,
	.size = sizeof(wp_attr),
  };

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
	int leader, ret;
	cpu_set_t cpus;

	/*
	 * Force use of CPU0 to ensure our CPU0-bound events get scheduled.
	 */
	CPU_ZERO(&amp;cpus);
	CPU_SET(0, &amp;cpus);
	ret = sched_setaffinity(0, sizeof(cpus), &amp;cpus);
	if (ret) {

	}

	/* open leader event, bound to this task, CPU0 only */
	leader = perf_event_open(&amp;wp_attr, 0, 0, -1, 0);
	if (leader &lt; 0) {
		printf("Couldn't open leader: %d\n", leader);
		return 1;
	}

	/*

	 * different CPU. This means that the group should never be possible to
	 * schedule.
	 */
	ret = perf_event_open(&amp;wp_attr, 0, 1, leader, 0);
	if (ret &lt; 0) {
		printf("Couldn't open mismatched follower: %d\n", ret);
		return 1;
	} else {
		printf("Opened leader/follower with mismastched CPUs\n");
	}

	/*
	 * Open as many independent events as we can, all bound to the same
	 * task, CPU0 only.

	do {
		ret = perf_event_open(&amp;wp_attr, 0, 0, -1, 0);
	} while (ret &gt;= 0);

	/*
	 * Force enable/disble all events to trigger the erronoeous
	 * installation of the follower event.
	 */
	printf("Opened all events. Toggling..\n");
	for (;;) {
		prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_DISABLE, 0, 0, 0, 0);
		prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_ENABLE, 0, 0, 0, 0);
	}

	return 0;
  }

Fix this by validating this requirement regardless of whether we're
moving events.

commit c3c87e770458aa004bd7ed3f29945ff436fd6511 upstream.

The fix from 9fc81d87420d ("perf: Fix events installation during
moving group") was incomplete in that it failed to recognise that
creating a group with events for different CPUs is semantically
broken -- they cannot be co-scheduled.

Furthermore, it leads to real breakage where, when we create an event
for CPU Y and then migrate it to form a group on CPU X, the code gets
confused where the counter is programmed -- triggered in practice
as well by me via the perf fuzzer.

Fix this by tightening the rules for creating groups. Only allow
grouping of counters that can be co-scheduled in the same context.
This means for the same task and/or the same cpu.

<title>perf/core: Fix locking for children siblings group read</title>

commit 2aeb1883547626d82c597cce2c99f0b9c62e2425 upstream.

We're missing ctx lock when iterating children siblings
within the perf_read path for group reading. Following
race and crash can happen:

User space doing read syscall on event group leader:

T1:
  perf_read
    lock event-&gt;ctx-&gt;mutex
    perf_read_group
      lock leader-&gt;child_mutex
      __perf_read_group_add(child)
        list_for_each_entry(sub, &amp;leader-&gt;sibling_list, group_entry)

----&gt;   sub might be invalid at this point, because it could
        get removed via perf_event_exit_task_context in T2

Child exiting and cleaning up its events:

T2:
  perf_event_exit_task_context
    lock ctx-&gt;mutex
    list_for_each_entry_safe(child_event, next, &amp;child_ctx-&gt;event_list,...
      perf_event_exit_event(child)
        lock ctx-&gt;lock
        perf_group_detach(child)
        unlock ctx-&gt;lock

----&gt;   child is removed from sibling_list without any sync
        with T1 path above

        ...
        free_event(child)

Before the child is removed from the leader's child_list,
(and thus is omitted from perf_read_group processing), we
need to ensure that perf_read_group touches child's
siblings under its ctx-&gt;lock.

Peter further notes:

| One additional note; this bug got exposed by commit:
|
|   ba5213ae6b88 ("perf/core: Correct event creation with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP")
|
| which made it possible to actually trigger this code-path.

        list_for_each_entry(sub, &amp;leader-&gt;sibling_list, group_entry)

----&gt;   sub might be invalid at this point, because it could
        get removed via perf_event_exit_task_context in T2

Child exiting and cleaning up its events:

T2:
  perf_event_exit_task_context
    lock ctx-&gt;mutex
    list_for_each_entry_safe(child_event, next, &amp;child_ctx-&gt;event_list,...
      perf_event_exit_event(child)
        lock ctx-&gt;lock
        perf_group_detach(child)
        unlock ctx-&gt;lock

----&gt;   child is removed from sibling_list without any sync
        with T1 path above

        ...
        free_event(child)

Before the child is removed from the leader's child_list,
(and thus is omitted from perf_read_group processing), we
need to ensure that perf_read_group touches child's
siblings under its ctx-&gt;lock.

Peter further notes:

| One additional note; this bug got exposed by commit:
|
|   ba5213ae6b88 ("perf/core: Correct event creation with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP")
|
| which made it possible to actually trigger this code-path.

commit fa8c269353d560b7c28119ad7617029f92e40b15 upstream.

In order to enable the use of perf_event_read(.group = true), we need
to invert the sibling-child loop nesting of perf_read_group().

Currently we iterate the child list for each sibling, this precludes
using group reads. Flip things around so we iterate each group for
each child.

commit ba5213ae6b88fb170c4771fef6553f759c7d8cdd upstream.

Andi was asking about PERF_FORMAT_GROUP vs inherited events, which led
to the discovery of a bug from commit:

  3dab77fb1bf8 ("perf: Rework/fix the whole read vs group stuff")

 -       PERF_SAMPLE_GROUP                       = 1U &lt;&lt; 4,
 +       PERF_SAMPLE_READ                        = 1U &lt;&lt; 4,

 -       if (attr-&gt;inherit &amp;&amp; (attr-&gt;sample_type &amp; PERF_SAMPLE_GROUP))
 +       if (attr-&gt;inherit &amp;&amp; (attr-&gt;read_format &amp; PERF_FORMAT_GROUP))

is a clear fail :/

While this changes user visible behaviour; it was previously possible
to create an inherited event with PERF_SAMPLE_READ; this is deemed
acceptible because its results were always incorrect.

<title>ptrace: use fsuid, fsgid, effective creds for fs access checks</title>

commit caaee6234d05a58c5b4d05e7bf766131b810a657 upstream.

By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted
capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its
credentials.

To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g.
in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS
flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set.

The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its
privileges, e.g.  by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to
perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed
ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass.

While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to
perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access
check is reused for things in procfs.

In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely
on ptrace access checks:

 /proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers
     should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR
 /proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR
 /proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted
     directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in
     this scenario:
     lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -&gt; /root/foobar
     drwx------ root root /root
     drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar
     -rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret

Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its
effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file,
this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's
processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access
(through /proc/$pid/cwd).

While hunting for clues to a use-after-free, Oleg spotted that
perf_event_init_context() can loose an error value with the result
that fork() can succeed even though we did not fully inherit the perf
event context.

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

<id>9eb0e01be831d0f37ea6278a92c32424141f55fb</id>
<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()

we need to validate state after we acquire the locks.

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.
