tracing: Fix race in perf_trace_buf initialization
A race condition exists while initialiazing perf_trace_buf from perf_trace_init() and perf_kprobe_init(). CPU0 CPU1 perf_trace_init() mutex_lock(&event_mutex) perf_trace_event_init() perf_trace_event_reg() total_ref_count == 0 buf = alloc_percpu() perf_trace_buf[i] = buf tp_event->class->reg() //fails perf_kprobe_init() goto fail perf_trace_event_init() perf_trace_event_reg() fail: total_ref_count == 0 total_ref_count == 0 buf = alloc_percpu() perf_trace_buf[i] = buf tp_event->class->reg() total_ref_count++ free_percpu(perf_trace_buf[i]) perf_trace_buf[i] = NULL Any subsequent call to perf_trace_event_reg() will observe total_ref_count > 0, causing the perf_trace_buf to be always NULL. This can result in perf_trace_buf getting accessed from perf_trace_buf_alloc() without being initialized. Acquiring event_mutex in perf_kprobe_init() before calling perf_trace_event_init() should fix this race. The race caused the following bug: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000003106f2003c Mem abort info: ESR = 0x96000045 Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000045 CM = 0, WnR = 1 user pgtable: 4k pages, 39-bit VAs, pgdp = ffffffc034b9b000 [0000003106f2003c] pgd=0000000000000000, pud=0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 96000045 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Process syz-executor (pid: 18393, stack limit = 0xffffffc093190000) pstate: 80400005 (Nzcv daif +PAN -UAO) pc : __memset+0x20/0x1ac lr : memset+0x3c/0x50 sp : ffffffc09319fc50 __memset+0x20/0x1ac perf_trace_buf_alloc+0x140/0x1a0 perf_trace_sys_enter+0x158/0x310 syscall_trace_enter+0x348/0x7c0 el0_svc_common+0x11c/0x368 el0_svc_handler+0x12c/0x198 el0_svc+0x8/0xc Ramdumps showed the following: total_ref_count = 3 perf_trace_buf = ( 0x0 -> NULL, 0x0 -> NULL, 0x0 -> NULL, 0x0 -> NULL) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1571120245-4186-1-git-send-email-prsood@codeaurora.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: e12f03d7031a9 ("perf/core: Implement the 'perf_kprobe' PMU") Acked-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Prateek Sood <prsood@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
