commit e7cc4865f0f31698ef2f7aac01a50e78968985b7 upstream.

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.

commit e552a8389aa409e257b7dcba74f67f128f979ccc upstream.

Dmitry reported syzcaller tripped a use-after-free in perf_release().

After much puzzlement Oleg spotted the below scenario:

  Task1                           Task2

  fork()
    perf_event_init_task()
    /* ... */
    goto bad_fork_$foo;
    /* ... */
    perf_event_free_task()
      mutex_lock(ctx-&gt;lock)
      perf_free_event(B)

                                  perf_event_release_kernel(A)
                                    mutex_lock(A-&gt;child_mutex)
                                    list_for_each_entry(child, ...) {
                                      /* child == B */
                                      ctx = B-&gt;ctx;
                                      get_ctx(ctx);
                                      mutex_unlock(A-&gt;child_mutex);

        mutex_lock(A-&gt;child_mutex)
        list_del_init(B-&gt;child_list)
        mutex_unlock(A-&gt;child_mutex)

        /* ... */

      mutex_unlock(ctx-&gt;lock);
      put_ctx() /* &gt;0 */
    free_task();
                                      mutex_lock(ctx-&gt;lock);
                                      mutex_lock(A-&gt;child_mutex);
                                      /* ... */
                                      mutex_unlock(A-&gt;child_mutex);
                                      mutex_unlock(ctx-&gt;lock)
                                      put_ctx() /* 0 */
                                        ctx-&gt;task &amp;&amp; !TOMBSTONE
                                          put_task_struct() /* UAF */

This patch closes the hole by making perf_event_free_task() destroy the
task &lt;-&gt; ctx relation such that perf_event_release_kernel() will no longer
observe the now dead task.

Alexei had his box explode because doing read() on a package
(rapl/uncore) event that isn't currently scheduled in ends up doing an
out-of-bounds load.

Rework the code to more explicitly deal with event-&gt;oncpu being -1.

Andres reported that MMAP2 records for anonymous memory always have
their protection field 0.

Turns out, someone daft put the prot/flags generation code in the file
branch, leaving them unset for anonymous memory.

Dmitry reported a KASAN use-after-free on event-&gt;group_leader.

It turns out there's a hole in perf_remove_from_context() due to
event_function_call() not calling its function when the task
associated with the event is already dead.

In this case the event will have been detached from the task, but the
grouping will have been retained, such that group operations might
still work properly while there are live child events etc.

This does however mean that we can miss a perf_group_detach() call
when the group decomposes, this in turn can then lead to
use-after-free.

Fix it by explicitly doing the group detach if its still required.

<title>perf/x86/intel: Account interrupts for PEBS errors</title>

It's possible to set up PEBS events to get only errors and not
any data, like on SNB-X (model 45) and IVB-EP (model 62)
via 2 perf commands running simultaneously:

    taskset -c 1 ./perf record -c 4 -e branches:pp -j any -C 10

This leads to a soft lock up, because the error path of the
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm() does not account event-&gt;hw.interrupt
for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY
errors you don't have a way to stop the event when it's over
the max_samples_per_tick limit:

  NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#22 stuck for 22s! [perf_fuzzer:5816]
  ...
  RIP: 0010:[&lt;ffffffff81159232&gt;]  [&lt;ffffffff81159232&gt;] smp_call_function_single+0xe2/0x140
  ...
  Call Trace:
   ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0xf5/0x1b0
   ? perf_cgroup_attach+0x70/0x70
   perf_install_in_context+0x199/0x1b0

   do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x1f0
   entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

Add perf_event_account_interrupt() which does the interrupt
and frequency checks and call it from intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm()'s
error path.

We keep the pending_kill and pending_wakeup logic only in the
__perf_event_overflow() path, because they make sense only if
there's any data to deliver.

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

<content type='text'>
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.

<id>urn:sha1:63cae12bce9861cec309798d34701cf3da20bc71</id>
<content type='text'>
There is problem with installing an event in a task that is 'stuck' on
an offline CPU.

Blocked tasks are not dis-assosciated from offlined CPUs, after all, a
blocked task doesn't run and doesn't require a CPU etc.. Only on
wakeup do we ammend the situation and place the task on a available
CPU.

If we hit such a task with perf_install_in_context() we'll loop until
either that task wakes up or the CPU comes back online, if the task
waking depends on the event being installed, we're stuck.

While looking into this issue, I also spotted another problem, if we
hit a task with perf_install_in_context() that is in the middle of
being migrated, that is we observe the old CPU before sending the IPI,
but run the IPI (on the old CPU) while the task is already running on
the new CPU, things also go sideways.

Rework things to rely on task_curr() -- outside of rq-&gt;lock -- which
is rather tricky. Imagine the following scenario where we're trying to
install the first event into our task 't':

CPU0            CPU1            CPU2

                (current == t)

t-&gt;perf_event_ctxp[] = ctx;
smp_mb();
cpu = task_cpu(t);

                switch(t, n);
                                migrate(t, 2);
                                switch(p, t);

                                ctx = t-&gt;perf_event_ctxp[]; // must not be NULL

smp_function_call(cpu, ..);

                generic_exec_single()
                  func();
                    spin_lock(ctx-&gt;lock);
                    if (task_curr(t)) // false

                    add_event_to_ctx();
                    spin_unlock(ctx-&gt;lock);

                                perf_event_context_sched_in();
                                  spin_lock(ctx-&gt;lock);
                                  // sees event

So its CPU0's store of t-&gt;perf_event_ctxp[] that must not go 'missing'.
Because if CPU2's load of that variable were to observe NULL, it would
not try to schedule the ctx and we'd have a task running without its
counter, which would be 'bad'.

As long as we observe !NULL, we'll acquire ctx-&gt;lock. If we acquire it
first and not see the event yet, then CPU0 must observe task_curr()
and retry. If the install happens first, then we must see the event on
sched-in and all is well.

I think we can translate the first part (until the 'must not be NULL')
of the scenario to a litmus test like:

  C C-peterz

  {
  }

  P0(int *x, int *y)
  {
          int r1;

          WRITE_ONCE(*x, 1);
          smp_mb();
          r1 = READ_ONCE(*y);
  }

  P1(int *y, int *z)
  {
          WRITE_ONCE(*y, 1);
          smp_store_release(z, 1);
  }

  P2(int *x, int *z)
  {
          int r1;
          int r2;

          r1 = smp_load_acquire(z);
	  smp_mb();
          r2 = READ_ONCE(*x);
  }

  exists
  (0:r1=0 /\ 2:r1=1 /\ 2:r2=0)

Where:
  x is perf_event_ctxp[],
  y is our tasks's CPU, and
  z is our task being placed on the rq of CPU2.

The P0 smp_mb() is the one added by this patch, ordering the store to
perf_event_ctxp[] from find_get_context() and the load of task_cpu()
in task_function_call().

The smp_store_release/smp_load_acquire model the RCpc locking of the
rq-&gt;lock and the smp_mb() of P2 is the context switch switching from
whatever CPU2 was running to our task 't'.

This litmus test evaluates into:

  Test C-peterz Allowed

And the strong and weak model agree.

Commit:

  72e6ae285a1d ('ARM: 8043/1: uprobes need icache flush after xol write'

... has introduced an arch-specific method to ensure all caches are
flushed appropriately after an instruction is written to an XOL page.

However, when the XOL area is created and the out-of-line breakpoint
instruction is copied, caches are not flushed at all and stale data may
be found in icache.

Replace a simple copy_to_page() with arch_uprobe_copy_ixol() to allow
the arch to ensure all caches are updated accordingly.

This change fixes uprobes on MIPS InterAptiv (tested on Creator Ci40).
