perf/core: Fix use-after-free in perf_release()
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->lock)
perf_free_event(B)
perf_event_release_kernel(A)
mutex_lock(A->child_mutex)
list_for_each_entry(child, ...) {
/* child == B */
ctx = B->ctx;
get_ctx(ctx);
mutex_unlock(A->child_mutex);
mutex_lock(A->child_mutex)
list_del_init(B->child_list)
mutex_unlock(A->child_mutex)
/* ... */
mutex_unlock(ctx->lock);
put_ctx() /* >0 */
free_task();
mutex_lock(ctx->lock);
mutex_lock(A->child_mutex);
/* ... */
mutex_unlock(A->child_mutex);
mutex_unlock(ctx->lock)
put_ctx() /* 0 */
ctx->task && !TOMBSTONE
put_task_struct() /* UAF */
This patch closes the hole by making perf_event_free_task() destroy the
task <-> ctx relation such that perf_event_release_kernel() will no longer
observe the now dead task.
