[ Upstream commit 037a3c43edfb597665dd34457cd22b14692f2ba3 ]

perf_event_remove_on_exec() removes events by calling
perf_event_exit_event(). For top-level events, this removes the event from
the context with DETACH_EXIT only.

This can leave inconsistent group state when a removed event is a group
leader and the group contains siblings without remove_on_exec. If the group
was active, the surviving siblings can remain active and attached to the
removed leader's sibling list, but are no longer represented by a valid
group leader on the PMU context active lists.

A later close of the removed leader uses DETACH_GROUP and can promote the
still-active siblings from this stale group state. The next schedule-in can
then add an already-linked active_list entry again, corrupting the PMU
context active list.

With DEBUG_LIST enabled, this is caught as a list_add double-add in
merge_sched_in().

Fix this by detaching group relationships when remove_on_exec removes an
event. This preserves the existing task-exit and revoke behavior, while
ensuring surviving siblings are ungrouped before the removed event leaves
the context.

<title>kernel: be more careful about dup_mmap() failures and uprobe registering</title>

[ Upstream commit 64c37e134b120fb462fb4a80694bfb8e7be77b14 ]

If a memory allocation fails during dup_mmap(), the maple tree can be left
in an unsafe state for other iterators besides the exit path.  All the
locks are dropped before the exit_mmap() call (in mm/mmap.c), but the
incomplete mm_struct can be reached through (at least) the rmap finding
the vmas which have a pointer back to the mm_struct.

Up to this point, there have been no issues with being able to find an
mm_struct that was only partially initialised.  Syzbot was able to make
the incomplete mm_struct fail with recent forking changes, so it has been
proven unsafe to use the mm_struct that hasn't been initialised, as
referenced in the link below.

Although 8ac662f5da19f ("fork: avoid inappropriate uprobe access to
invalid mm") fixed the uprobe access, it does not completely remove the
race.

This patch sets the MMF_OOM_SKIP to avoid the iteration of the vmas on the
oom side (even though this is extremely unlikely to be selected as an oom
victim in the race window), and sets MMF_UNSTABLE to avoid other potential
users from using a partially initialised mm_struct.

When registering vmas for uprobe, skip the vmas in an mm that is marked
unstable.  Modifying a vma in an unstable mm may cause issues if the mm
isn't fully initialised.

[ Upstream commit 4b9ce671960627b2505b3f64742544ae9801df97 ]

Oliver reported that x86_pmu_del() ended up doing an out-of-bound memory access
when group_sched_in() fails and needs to roll back.

This *should* be handled by the transaction callbacks, but he found that when
the group leader is a software event, the transaction handlers of the wrong PMU
are used. Despite the move_group case in perf_event_open() and group_sched_in()
using pmu_ctx-&gt;pmu.

Turns out, inherit uses event-&gt;pmu to clone the events, effectively undoing the
move_group case for all inherited contexts. Fix this by also making inherit use
pmu_ctx-&gt;pmu, ensuring all inherited counters end up in the same pmu context.

Similarly, __perf_event_read() should use equally use pmu_ctx-&gt;pmu for the
group case.

[ Upstream commit d55c571e4333fac71826e8db3b9753fadfbead6a ]

This script

	#!/usr/bin/bash

	echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

	echo 'void main(void) {}' &gt; TEST.c

	# -fcf-protection to ensure that the 1st endbr32 insn can't be emulated
	gcc -m32 -fcf-protection=branch TEST.c -o test

	bpftrace -e 'uprobe:./test:main {}' -c ./test

"hangs", the probed ./test task enters an endless loop.

The problem is that with randomize_va_space == 0
get_unmapped_area(TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE) called by xol_add_vma() can not
just return the "addr == TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE" hint, this addr is used
by the stack vma.

arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() doesn't take TIF_ADDR32 into account and
in_32bit_syscall() is false, this leads to info.high_limit &gt; TASK_SIZE.
vm_unmapped_area() happily returns the high address &gt; TASK_SIZE and then
get_unmapped_area() returns -ENOMEM after the "if (addr &gt; TASK_SIZE - len)"
check.

handle_swbp() doesn't report this failure (probably it should) and silently
restarts the probed insn. Endless loop.

I think that the right fix should change the x86 get_unmapped_area() paths
to rely on TIF_ADDR32 rather than in_32bit_syscall(). Note also that if
CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI=y, in_x32_syscall() falsely returns true in this case
because -&gt;orig_ax = -1.

But we need a simple fix for -stable, so this patch just sets TS_COMPAT if
the probed task is 32-bit to make in_ia32_syscall() true.

	bpftrace -e 'uprobe:./test:main {}' -c ./test

"hangs", the probed ./test task enters an endless loop.

The problem is that with randomize_va_space == 0
get_unmapped_area(TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE) called by xol_add_vma() can not
just return the "addr == TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE" hint, this addr is used
by the stack vma.

arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() doesn't take TIF_ADDR32 into account and
in_32bit_syscall() is false, this leads to info.high_limit &gt; TASK_SIZE.
vm_unmapped_area() happily returns the high address &gt; TASK_SIZE and then
get_unmapped_area() returns -ENOMEM after the "if (addr &gt; TASK_SIZE - len)"
check.

handle_swbp() doesn't report this failure (probably it should) and silently
restarts the probed insn. Endless loop.

I think that the right fix should change the x86 get_unmapped_area() paths
to rely on TIF_ADDR32 rather than in_32bit_syscall(). Note also that if
CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI=y, in_x32_syscall() falsely returns true in this case
because -&gt;orig_ax = -1.

But we need a simple fix for -stable, so this patch just sets TS_COMPAT if
the probed task is 32-bit to make in_ia32_syscall() true.

<title>uprobes: Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain()</title>

[ Upstream commit a56a38fd9196fc89401e498d70b7aa9c9679fa6e ]

The list_for_each_entry_rcu() in filter_chain() uses
rcu_read_lock_trace_held() as the lockdep condition, but the function
holds consumer_rwsem, not the RCU trace lock.

This gives me the following output when running with some locking debug
option enabled:

  kernel/events/uprobes.c:1141 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
    filter_chain
    register_for_each_vma
    uprobe_unregister_nosync
    __probe_event_disable

Remove the incorrect lockdep condition since the rwsem provides
sufficient protection for the list traversal.

[ Upstream commit 87195a1ee332add27bd51448c6b54aad551a28f5 ]

This patch switches uprobes SRCU usage to RCU Tasks Trace flavor, which
is optimized for more lightweight and quick readers (at the expense of
slower writers, which for uprobes is a fine tradeof) and has better
performance and scalability with number of CPUs.

Similarly to baseline vs SRCU, we've benchmarked SRCU-based
implementation vs RCU Tasks Trace implementation.

RCU Tasks Trace
===============
uprobe-nop      ( 1 cpus):    3.396 ± 0.002M/s  (  3.396M/s/cpu)
uprobe-nop      ( 2 cpus):    4.271 ± 0.006M/s  (  2.135M/s/cpu)
uprobe-nop      ( 4 cpus):    8.499 ± 0.015M/s  (  2.125M/s/cpu)
uprobe-nop      ( 8 cpus):   10.355 ± 0.028M/s  (  1.294M/s/cpu)
uprobe-nop      (16 cpus):    7.615 ± 0.099M/s  (  0.476M/s/cpu)
uprobe-nop      (32 cpus):    4.430 ± 0.007M/s  (  0.138M/s/cpu)
uprobe-nop      (64 cpus):    6.887 ± 0.020M/s  (  0.108M/s/cpu)

uretprobe-nop   ( 1 cpus):    2.174 ± 0.001M/s  (  2.174M/s/cpu)
uretprobe-nop   ( 2 cpus):    2.853 ± 0.001M/s  (  1.426M/s/cpu)
uretprobe-nop   ( 4 cpus):    4.913 ± 0.002M/s  (  1.228M/s/cpu)
uretprobe-nop   ( 8 cpus):    5.883 ± 0.002M/s  (  0.735M/s/cpu)
uretprobe-nop   (16 cpus):    5.147 ± 0.001M/s  (  0.322M/s/cpu)
uretprobe-nop   (32 cpus):    3.738 ± 0.008M/s  (  0.117M/s/cpu)
uretprobe-nop   (64 cpus):    4.397 ± 0.002M/s  (  0.069M/s/cpu)

Peak throughput for uprobes increases from 8 mln/s to 10.3 mln/s
(+28%!), and for uretprobes from 5.3 mln/s to 5.8 mln/s (+11%), as we
have more work to do on uretprobes side.

Even single-thread (no contention) performance is slightly better: 3.276
mln/s to 3.396 mln/s (+3.5%) for uprobes, and 2.055 mln/s to 2.174 mln/s
(+5.8%) for uretprobes.

We also select TASKS_TRACE_RCU for UPROBES in Kconfig due to the new
dependency.

Make sure that __perf_event_overflow() runs with IRQs disabled for all
possible callchains. Specifically the software events can end up running
it with only preemption disabled.

This opens up a race vs perf_event_exit_event() and friends that will go
and free various things the overflow path expects to be present, like
the BPF program.
