commit 355627f518978b5167256d27492fe0b343aaf2f2 upstream.

Commit 7c051267931a ("mm, fork: make dup_mmap wait for mmap_sem for
write killable") made it possible to kill a forking task while it is
waiting to acquire its -&gt;mmap_sem for write, in dup_mmap().

However, it was overlooked that this introduced an new error path before
the new mm_struct's -&gt;uprobes_state.xol_area has been set to NULL after
being copied from the old mm_struct by the memcpy in dup_mm().  For a
task that has previously hit a uprobe tracepoint, this resulted in the
'struct xol_area' being freed multiple times if the task was killed at
just the right time while forking.

Fix it by setting -&gt;uprobes_state.xol_area to NULL in mm_init() rather
than in uprobe_dup_mmap().

With CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS=y, the bug can be reproduced by the same C
program given by commit 2b7e8665b4ff ("fork: fix incorrect fput of
-&gt;exe_file causing use-after-free"), provided that a uprobe tracepoint
has been set on the fork_thread() function.  For example:

    $ gcc reproducer.c -o reproducer -lpthread
    $ nm reproducer | grep fork_thread
    0000000000400719 t fork_thread
    $ echo "p $PWD/reproducer:0x719" &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
    $ echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/uprobes/enable
    $ ./reproducer

Here is the use-after-free reported by KASAN:

commit 64aee2a965cf2954a038b5522f11d2cd2f0f8f3e upstream.

Regardless of which events form a group, it does not make sense for the
events to target different tasks and/or CPUs, as this leaves the group
inconsistent and impossible to schedule. The core perf code assumes that
these are consistent across (successfully intialised) groups.

Core perf code only verifies this when moving SW events into a HW
context. Thus, we can violate this requirement for pure SW groups and
pure HW groups, unless the relevant PMU driver happens to perform this
verification itself. These mismatched groups subsequently wreak havoc
elsewhere.

For example, we handle watchpoints as SW events, and reserve watchpoint
HW on a per-CPU basis at pmu::event_init() time to ensure that any event
that is initialised is guaranteed to have a slot at pmu::add() time.
However, the core code only checks the group leader's cpu filter (via
event_filter_match()), and can thus install follower events onto CPUs
violating thier (mismatched) CPU filters, potentially installing them
into a CPU without sufficient reserved slots.

This can be triggered with the below test case, resulting in warnings
from arch backends.

  #define _GNU_SOURCE
  #include &lt;linux/hw_breakpoint.h&gt;
  #include &lt;linux/perf_event.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sched.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sys/prctl.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sys/syscall.h&gt;
  #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

  static int perf_event_open(struct perf_event_attr *attr, pid_t pid, int cpu,
			   int group_fd, unsigned long flags)
  {
	return syscall(__NR_perf_event_open, attr, pid, cpu, group_fd, flags);
  }

  char watched_char;

  struct perf_event_attr wp_attr = {
	.type = PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT,
	.bp_type = HW_BREAKPOINT_RW,
	.bp_addr = (unsigned long)&amp;watched_char,
	.bp_len = 1,
	.size = sizeof(wp_attr),
  };

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
	int leader, ret;
	cpu_set_t cpus;

	/*
	 * Force use of CPU0 to ensure our CPU0-bound events get scheduled.
	 */
	CPU_ZERO(&amp;cpus);
	CPU_SET(0, &amp;cpus);
	ret = sched_setaffinity(0, sizeof(cpus), &amp;cpus);
	if (ret) {
		printf("Unable to set cpu affinity\n");
		return 1;
	}

	/* open leader event, bound to this task, CPU0 only */
	leader = perf_event_open(&amp;wp_attr, 0, 0, -1, 0);
	if (leader &lt; 0) {
		printf("Couldn't open leader: %d\n", leader);
		return 1;
	}

	/*
	 * Open a follower event that is bound to the same task, but a
	 * different CPU. This means that the group should never be possible to
	 * schedule.
	 */
	ret = perf_event_open(&amp;wp_attr, 0, 1, leader, 0);
	if (ret &lt; 0) {
		printf("Couldn't open mismatched follower: %d\n", ret);
		return 1;
	} else {
		printf("Opened leader/follower with mismastched CPUs\n");
	}

	/*
	 * Open as many independent events as we can, all bound to the same
	 * task, CPU0 only.
	 */
	do {
		ret = perf_event_open(&amp;wp_attr, 0, 0, -1, 0);
	} while (ret &gt;= 0);

	/*
	 * Force enable/disble all events to trigger the erronoeous
	 * installation of the follower event.
	 */
	printf("Opened all events. Toggling..\n");
	for (;;) {
		prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_DISABLE, 0, 0, 0, 0);
		prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_ENABLE, 0, 0, 0, 0);
	}

	return 0;
  }

Fix this by validating this requirement regardless of whether we're
moving events.

commit 6a8a75f3235724c5941a33e287b2f98966ad14c5 upstream.

This reverts commit cc1582c231ea041fbc68861dfaf957eaf902b829.

This commit introduced a regression that broke rr-project, which uses sampling
events to receive a signal on overflow (but does not care about the contents
of the sample). These signals are critical to the correct operation of rr.

There's been some back and forth about how to fix it - but to not keep
applications in limbo queue up a revert.

[ Upstream commit 63cae12bce9861cec309798d34701cf3da20bc71 ]

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
  States 7
  0:r1=0; 2:r1=0; 2:r2=0;
  0:r1=0; 2:r1=0; 2:r2=1;

  0:r1=1; 2:r1=0; 2:r2=0;

And the strong and weak model agree.

commit cc1582c231ea041fbc68861dfaf957eaf902b829 upstream.

When doing sampling, for example:

  perf record -e cycles:u ...

On workloads that do a lot of kernel entry/exits we see kernel
samples, even though :u is specified. This is due to skid existing.

This might be a security issue because it can leak kernel addresses even
though kernel sampling support is disabled.

The patch drops the kernel samples if exclude_kernel is specified.

For example, test on Haswell desktop:

  perf record -e cycles:u &lt;mgen&gt;
  perf report --stdio

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.

commit 451d24d1e5f40bad000fa9abe36ddb16fc9928cb upstream.

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.

commit 0b3589be9b98994ce3d5aeca52445d1f5627c4ba upstream.

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.

commit a76a82a3e38c8d3fb6499e3dfaeb0949241ab588 upstream.

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.
