[ Upstream commit 2aeb1883547626d82c597cce2c99f0b9c62e2425 ]

We're missing ctx lock when iterating children siblings
within the perf_read path for group reading. Following
race and crash can happen:

User space doing read syscall on event group leader:

T1:
  perf_read
    lock event-&gt;ctx-&gt;mutex
    perf_read_group
      lock leader-&gt;child_mutex
      __perf_read_group_add(child)
        list_for_each_entry(sub, &amp;leader-&gt;sibling_list, group_entry)

----&gt;   sub might be invalid at this point, because it could
        get removed via perf_event_exit_task_context in T2

Child exiting and cleaning up its events:

T2:
  perf_event_exit_task_context
    lock ctx-&gt;mutex
    list_for_each_entry_safe(child_event, next, &amp;child_ctx-&gt;event_list,...
      perf_event_exit_event(child)
        lock ctx-&gt;lock
        perf_group_detach(child)
        unlock ctx-&gt;lock

----&gt;   child is removed from sibling_list without any sync
        with T1 path above

        ...
        free_event(child)

Before the child is removed from the leader's child_list,
(and thus is omitted from perf_read_group processing), we
need to ensure that perf_read_group touches child's
siblings under its ctx-&gt;lock.

Peter further notes:

| One additional note; this bug got exposed by commit:
|
|   ba5213ae6b88 ("perf/core: Correct event creation with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP")
|
| which made it possible to actually trigger this code-path.

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

[ Upstream commit cd6fb677ce7e460c25bdd66f689734102ec7d642 ]

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.

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

commit 02e184476eff848273826c1d6617bb37e5bcc7ad upstream.

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.

[ 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.

[ 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).

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.

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.

commit 78b562fbfa2cf0a9fcb23c3154756b690f4905c1 upstream.

Return immediately when we find issue in the user stack checks. The
error value could get overwritten by following check for
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR.

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.
