[ Upstream commit 697d877849d4b34ab58d7078d6930bad0ef6fc66 ]

Commit:

  313ccb9615948 ("perf: Allocate context task_ctx_data for child event")

makes the inherit path skip over the current event in case of task_ctx_data
allocation failure. This, however, is inconsistent with allocation failures
in perf_event_alloc(), which would abort the fork.

Correct this by returning an error code on task_ctx_data allocation
failure and failing the fork in that case.

[ Upstream commit 55a3235fc71bf34303e34a95eeee235b2d2a35dd ]

For userspace to tell the difference between a random signal and an
exception, the exception must include siginfo information.

Using SEND_SIG_FORCED for SIGILL is thus wrong, and it will result
in userspace seeing si_code == SI_USER (like a random signal) instead
of si_code == SI_KERNEL or a more specific si_code as all exceptions
deliver.

Therefore replace force_sig_info(SIGILL, SEND_SIG_FORCE, current)
with force_sig(SIG_ILL, current) which gets this right and is
shorter and easier to type.

Fixes: 014940bad8e4 ("uprobes/x86: Send SIGILL if arch_uprobe_post_xol() fails")
Fixes: 0b5256c7f173 ("uprobes: Send SIGILL if handle_trampoline() fails")

commit f3a519e4add93b7b31a6616f0b09635ff2e6a159 upstream.

Commit:

  8a58ddae2379 ("perf/core: Fix exclusive events' grouping")

allows CAP_EXCLUSIVE events to be grouped with other events. Since all
of those also happen to be AUX events (which is not the case the other
way around, because arch/s390), this changes the rules for stopping the
output: the AUX event may not be on its PMU's context any more, if it's
grouped with a HW event, in which case it will be on that HW event's
context instead. If that's the case, munmap() of the AUX buffer can't
find and stop the AUX event, potentially leaving the last reference with
the atomic context, which will then end up freeing the AUX buffer. This
will then trip warnings:

Fix this by using the context's PMU context when looking for events
to stop, instead of the event's PMU context.

commit 310aa0a25b338b3100c94880c9a69bec8ce8c3ae upstream.

If we disable the compiler's auto-initialization feature, if
-fplugin-arg-structleak_plugin-byref or -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern
are disabled, arch_hw_breakpoint may be used before initialization after:

  9a4903dde2c86 ("perf/hw_breakpoint: Split attribute parse and commit")

On our ARM platform, the struct step_ctrl in arch_hw_breakpoint, which
used to be zero-initialized by kzalloc(), may be used in
arch_install_hw_breakpoint() without initialization.

[ 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

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.

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().

[ 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")

[ Upstream commit 3f9fbe9bd86c534eba2faf5d840fd44c6049f50e ]

Similar to how decrementing rb-&gt;next too early can cause data_head to
(temporarily) be observed to go backward, so too can this happen when
we increment too late.

This barrier() ensures the rb-&gt;head load happens after the increment,
both the one in the 'goto again' path, as the one from
perf_output_get_handle() -- albeit very unlikely to matter for the
latter.
