4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> 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->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.
