<id>urn:sha1:18c16cef81797dfbe814a979cfff2b585d2856e2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ff083a2d972f56bebfd82409ca62e5dfce950961 upstream.

Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU to fix multiple possible errors.  Luckily,
all paths that read perf_guest_cbs already require RCU protection, e.g. to
protect the callback chains, so only the direct perf_guest_cbs touchpoints
need to be modified.

Bug #1 is a simple lack of WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE behavior to ensure
perf_guest_cbs isn't reloaded between a !NULL check and a dereference.
Fixed via the READ_ONCE() in rcu_dereference().

Bug #2 is that on weakly-ordered architectures, updates to the callbacks
themselves are not guaranteed to be visible before the pointer is made
visible to readers.  Fixed by the smp_store_release() in
rcu_assign_pointer() when the new pointer is non-NULL.

Bug #3 is that, because the callbacks are global, it's possible for
readers to run in parallel with an unregisters, and thus a module
implementing the callbacks can be unloaded while readers are in flight,
resulting in a use-after-free.  Fixed by a synchronize_rcu() call when
unregistering callbacks.

Bug #1 escaped notice because it's extremely unlikely a compiler will
reload perf_guest_cbs in this sequence.  perf_guest_cbs does get reloaded
for future derefs, e.g. for -&gt;is_user_mode(), but the -&gt;is_in_guest()
guard all but guarantees the consumer will win the race, e.g. to nullify
perf_guest_cbs, KVM has to completely exit the guest and teardown down
all VMs before KVM start its module unload / unregister sequence.  This
also makes it all but impossible to encounter bug #3.

Bug #2 has not been a problem because all architectures that register
callbacks are strongly ordered and/or have a static set of callbacks.

But with help, unloading kvm_intel can trigger bug #1 e.g. wrapping
perf_guest_cbs with READ_ONCE in perf_misc_flags() while spamming
kvm_intel module load/unload leads to:

syzbot reported that the warning in perf_sigtrap() fires, saying that
the event's task does not match current:

On x86 this shouldn't happen, which has arch_irq_work_raise().

The test program sets up a perf event with sigtrap set to fire on the
'sched_wakeup' tracepoint, which fired in ttwu_do_wakeup().

This happened because the 'sched_wakeup' tracepoint also takes a task
argument passed on to perf_tp_event(), which is used to deliver the
event to that other task.

Since we cannot deliver synchronous signals to other tasks, skip an event if
perf_tp_event() is targeted at another task and perf_event_attr::sigtrap is
set, which will avoid ever entering perf_sigtrap() for such events.

commit 4716023a8f6a0f4a28047f14dd7ebdc319606b84 upstream.

PEBS PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR events use perf_virt_to_phys() to convert PMU
sampled virtual addresses to physical using get_user_page_fast_only()
and page_to_phys().

Some get_user_page_fast_only() error cases return false, indicating no
page reference, but still initialize the output page pointer with an
unreferenced page. In these error cases perf_virt_to_phys() calls
put_page(). This causes page reference count underflow, which can lead
to unintentional page sharing.

Fix perf_virt_to_phys() to only put_page() if get_user_page_fast_only()
returns a referenced page.

<title>perf/core: fix userpage-&gt;time_enabled of inactive events</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f792565326825ed806626da50c6f9a928f1079c1</id>
<content type='text'>
Users of rdpmc rely on the mmapped user page to calculate accurate
time_enabled. Currently, userpage-&gt;time_enabled is only updated when the
event is added to the pmu. As a result, inactive event (due to counter
multiplexing) does not have accurate userpage-&gt;time_enabled. This can
be reproduced with something like:

   /* open 20 task perf_event "cycles", to create multiplexing */

   fd = perf_event_open();  /* open task perf_event "cycles" */
   userpage = mmap(fd);     /* use mmap and rdmpc */

   while (true) {
     time_enabled_mmap = xxx; /* use logic in perf_event_mmap_page */
     time_enabled_read = read(fd).time_enabled;
     if (time_enabled_mmap &gt; time_enabled_read)
         BUG();
   }

Fix this by updating userpage for inactive events in merge_sched_in.

<title>events: Reuse value read using READ_ONCE instead of re-reading it</title>

In perf_event_addr_filters_apply, the task associated with
the event (event-&gt;ctx-&gt;task) is read using READ_ONCE at the beginning
of the function, checked, and then re-read from event-&gt;ctx-&gt;task,
voiding all guarantees of the checks. Reuse the value that was read by
READ_ONCE to ensure the consistency of the task struct throughout the
function.

Pull MAP_DENYWRITE removal from David Hildenbrand:
 "Remove all in-tree usage of MAP_DENYWRITE from the kernel and remove
  VM_DENYWRITE.

  There are some (minor) user-visible changes:

   - We no longer deny write access to shared libaries loaded via legacy
     uselib(); this behavior matches modern user space e.g. dlopen().

   - We no longer deny write access to the elf interpreter after exec
     completed, treating it just like shared libraries (which it often
     is).

   - We always deny write access to the file linked via /proc/pid/exe:
     sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE) will fail if write access to the
     file cannot be denied, and write access to the file will remain
     denied until the link is effectivel gone (exec, termination,
     sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE)) -- just as if exec'ing the file.

  Cross-compiled for a bunch of architectures (alpha, microblaze, i386,
  s390x, ...) and verified via ltp that especially the relevant tests
  (i.e., creat07 and execve04) continue working as expected"

<id>urn:sha1:ffec09f9c7d7b21b0aff29dd5c3972f4631c0b6b</id>
<content type='text'>
The functions get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() have been
deprecated during the CPU hotplug rework. They map directly to
cpus_read_lock() and cpus_read_unlock().

Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions with the official version.
The behavior remains unchanged.

The oops can also be reproduced with the following steps:
  ./vmtest.sh -s
  # at qemu shell
  cd /root/bpf &amp;&amp; while true; do ./test_progs -t send_signal

Further analysis showed that the failure is introduced with
commit b89fbfbb854c ("bpf: Implement minimal BPF perf link").
With the above commit, the following scenario becomes possible:
    cpu1                        cpu2
                                hrtimer_interrupt -&gt; bpf_overflow_handler
    (due to closing link_fd)
    bpf_perf_link_release -&gt;
    perf_event_free_bpf_prog -&gt;
    perf_event_free_bpf_handler -&gt;
      WRITE_ONCE(event-&gt;overflow_handler, event-&gt;orig_overflow_handler)
      event-&gt;prog = NULL
                                bpf_prog_run(event-&gt;prog, &amp;ctx)

In the above case, the event-&gt;prog is NULL for bpf_prog_run, hence
causing oops.

To fix the issue, check whether event-&gt;prog is NULL or not. If it
is, do not call bpf_prog_run. This seems working as the above
reproducible step runs more than one hour and I didn't see any
failures.
