From 1cf8dfe8a661f0462925df943140e9f6d1ea5233 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2019 11:21:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: Fix race between close() and fork() Syzcaller reported the following Use-after-Free bug: close() clone() copy_process() perf_event_init_task() perf_event_init_context() mutex_lock(parent_ctx->mutex) inherit_task_group() inherit_group() inherit_event() mutex_lock(event->child_mutex) // expose event on child list list_add_tail() mutex_unlock(event->child_mutex) mutex_unlock(parent_ctx->mutex) ... goto bad_fork_* bad_fork_cleanup_perf: perf_event_free_task() perf_release() perf_event_release_kernel() list_for_each_entry() mutex_lock(ctx->mutex) mutex_lock(event->child_mutex) // event is from the failing inherit // on the other CPU perf_remove_from_context() list_move() mutex_unlock(event->child_mutex) mutex_unlock(ctx->mutex) mutex_lock(ctx->mutex) list_for_each_entry_safe() // event already stolen mutex_unlock(ctx->mutex) delayed_free_task() free_task() list_for_each_entry_safe() list_del() free_event() _free_event() // and so event->hw.target // is the already freed failed clone() if (event->hw.target) put_task_struct(event->hw.target) // WHOOPSIE, already quite dead Which puts the lie to the the comment on perf_event_free_task(): 'unexposed, unused context' not so much. Which is a 'fun' confluence of fail; copy_process() doing an unconditional free_task() and not respecting refcounts, and perf having creative locking. In particular: 82d94856fa22 ("perf/core: Fix lock inversion between perf,trace,cpuhp") seems to have overlooked this 'fun' parade. Solve it by using the fact that detached events still have a reference count on their (previous) context. With this perf_event_free_task() can detect when events have escaped and wait for their destruction.
