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/core: Fix impossible ring-buffer sizes warning</title>

commit 528871b456026e6127d95b1b2bd8e3a003dc1614 upstream.

The following commit:

  9dff0aa95a32 ("perf/core: Don't WARN() for impossible ring-buffer sizes")

results in perf recording failures with larger mmap areas:

  root@skl:/tmp# perf record -g -a
  failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)

The root cause is that the following condition is buggy:

	if (order_base_2(size) &gt;= MAX_ORDER)
		goto fail;

The problem is that @size is in bytes and MAX_ORDER is in pages,
so the right test is:

	if (order_base_2(size) &gt;= PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER)
		goto fail;

Fix it.

commit 9dff0aa95a324e262ffb03f425d00e4751f3294e upstream.

The perf tool uses /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb to determine how
large its ringbuffer mmap should be. This can be configured to arbitrary
values, which can be larger than the maximum possible allocation from
kmalloc.

When this is configured to a suitably large value (e.g. thanks to the
perf fuzzer), attempting to use perf record triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() in
__alloc_pages_nodemask():

   WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 5666 at mm/page_alloc.c:4511 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x3f8/0xbc8

Let's avoid this by checking that the requested allocation is possible
before calling kzalloc.

commit 09d3f015d1e1b4fee7e9bbdcf54201d239393391 upstream.

Commit:

  142b18ddc8143 ("uprobes: Fix handle_swbp() vs unregister() + register() race")

added the UPROBE_COPY_INSN flag, and corresponding smp_wmb() and smp_rmb()
memory barriers, to ensure that handle_swbp() uses fully-initialized
uprobes only.

However, the smp_rmb() is mis-placed: this barrier should be placed
after handle_swbp() has tested for the flag, thus guaranteeing that
(program-order) subsequent loads from the uprobe can see the initial
stores performed by prepare_uprobe().

Move the smp_rmb() accordingly.  Also amend the comments associated
to the two memory barriers to indicate their actual locations.

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

<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);
  }

It is possible that a failure can occur during the scheduling of a
pinned event. The initial portion of perf_event_read_local() contains
the various error checks an event should pass before it can be
considered valid. Ensure that the potential scheduling failure
of a pinned event is checked for and have a credible error.

<title>perf/core: Force USER_DS when recording user stack data</title>

Perf can record user stack data in response to a synchronous request, such
as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), then we
end up reading user stack data using __copy_from_user_inatomic() under
set_fs(KERNEL_DS). I think this conflicts with the intention of using
set_fs(KERNEL_DS). And it is explicitly forbidden by hardware on ARM64
when both CONFIG_ARM64_UAO and CONFIG_ARM64_PAN are used.

So fix this by forcing USER_DS when recording user stack data.

We can safely enable the breakpoint back for both the fail and success
paths by checking only the bp-&gt;attr.disabled, which either holds the new
'requested' disabled state or the original breakpoint state.

Committer testing:

At the end of the series, the 'perf test' entry introduced as the first
patch now runs to completion without finding the fixed issues:

  # perf test "bp modify"
  62: x86 bp modify                                         : Ok
