[ Upstream commit 9e5b127d6f33468143d90c8a45ca12410e4c3fa7 ]

Mark reported his arm64 perf fuzzer runs sometimes splat like:

  armv8pmu_read_counter+0x1e8/0x2d8
  armpmu_event_update+0x8c/0x188
  armpmu_read+0xc/0x18
  perf_output_read+0x550/0x11e8
  perf_event_read_event+0x1d0/0x248
  perf_event_exit_task+0x468/0xbb8
  do_exit+0x690/0x1310
  do_group_exit+0xd0/0x2b0
  get_signal+0x2e8/0x17a8
  do_signal+0x144/0x4f8
  do_notify_resume+0x148/0x1e8
  work_pending+0x8/0x14

which asserts that we only call pmu::read() on ACTIVE events.

The above callchain does:

  perf_event_exit_task()
    perf_event_exit_task_context()
      task_ctx_sched_out() // INACTIVE
      perf_event_exit_event()
        perf_event_set_state(EXIT) // EXIT
        sync_child_event()
          perf_event_read_event()
            perf_output_read()
              perf_output_read_group()
                leader-&gt;pmu-&gt;read()

Which results in doing a pmu::read() on an !ACTIVE event.

I _think_ this is 'new' since we added attr.inherit_stat, which added
the perf_event_read_event() to the exit path, without that
perf_event_read_output() would only trigger from samples and for
@event to trigger a sample, it's leader _must_ be ACTIVE too.

Still, adding this check makes it consistent with the @sub case for
the siblings.

<title>perf/cgroup: Fix child event counting bug</title>

[ Upstream commit c917e0f259908e75bd2a65877e25f9d90c22c848 ]

When a perf_event is attached to parent cgroup, it should count events
for all children cgroups:

   parent_group   &lt;---- perf_event
     \
      - child_group  &lt;---- process(es)

However, in our tests, we found this perf_event cannot report reliable
results. Here is an example case:

  # create cgroups
  mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c
  # start perf for parent group
  perf stat -e instructions -G "p"

  # on another console, run test process in child cgroup:
  stressapptest -s 2 -M 1000 &amp; echo $! &gt; /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c/cgroup.procs

  # after the test process is done, stop perf in the first console shows

       &lt;not counted&gt;      instructions              p

The instruction should not be "not counted" as the process runs in the
child cgroup.

We found this is because perf_event-&gt;cgrp and cpuctx-&gt;cgrp are not
identical, thus perf_event-&gt;cgrp are not updated properly.

This patch fixes this by updating perf_cgroup properly for ancestor
cgroup(s).

commit bfb3d7b8b906b66551424d7636182126e1d134c8 upstream.

If the get_callchain_buffers fails to allocate the buffer it will
decrease the nr_callchain_events right away.

There's no point of checking the allocation error for
nr_callchain_events &gt; 1. Removing that check.

commit 1572e45a924f254d9570093abde46430c3172e3d upstream.

Use "proc_dointvec_minmax" instead of "proc_dointvec" to check the input
value from user-space.

If not, we can set a big value and some vars will overflow like
"sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate" which will cause a lot of unexpected
problems.

<content type='text'>
commit 5af44ca53d019de47efe6dbc4003dd518e5197ed upstream.

The syzbot hit KASAN bug in perf_callchain_store having the entry stored
behind the allocated bounds [1].

We miss the sample_max_stack check for the initial event that allocates
callchain buffers. This missing check allows to create an event with
sample_max_stack value bigger than the global sysctl maximum:

  # sysctl -a | grep perf_event_max_stack
  kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127

  # perf record -vv -C 1 -e cycles/max-stack=256/ kill
  ...
  perf_event_attr:
    size                             112
    ...
    sample_max_stack                 256
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 1  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 4

Note the '-C 1', which forces perf record to create just single event.
Otherwise it opens event for every cpu, then the sample_max_stack check
fails on the second event and all's fine.

The fix is to run the sample_max_stack check also for the first event
with callchains.

	The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff880384f9b480
	 which belongs to the cache task_struct of size 12928

It occurs because task_struct is freed before perf_event which refers
to the task and task flags are checked while teardown of the event.
perf_event_alloc() assigns task_struct to hw.target of perf_event,
but there is no reference counting for it.

As a fix we get_task_struct() in perf_event_alloc() at above mentioned
assignment and put_task_struct() in _free_event().

<title>perf/core: Correct event creation with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP</title>

[ Upstream commit ba5213ae6b88fb170c4771fef6553f759c7d8cdd ]

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.

[ Upstream commit 36cc2b9222b5106de34085c4dd8635ac67ef5cba ]

We don't set an error code here which means that perf_event_alloc()
returns ERR_PTR(0) (in other words NULL).  The callers are not expecting
that and would Oops.
