commit f91072ed1b7283b13ca57fcfbece5a3b92726143 upstream.
There's a possible race in perf_mmap_close() when checking ring buffer's mmap_count refcount value. The problem is that the mmap_count check is not atomic because we call atomic_dec() and atomic_read() separately.
perf_mmap_close: ... atomic_dec(&rb->mmap_count); ... if (atomic_read(&rb->mmap_count)) goto out_put;
<ring buffer detach> free_uid
out_put: ring_buffer_put(rb); /* could be last */
The race can happen when we have two (or more) events sharing same ring buffer and they go through atomic_dec() and then they both see 0 as refcount value later in atomic_read(). Then both will go on and execute code which is meant to be run just once.
The code that detaches ring buffer is probably fine to be executed more than once, but the problem is in calling free_uid(), which will later on demonstrate in related crashes and refcount warnings, like:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free. ... RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x6d/0xf ... Call Trace: prepare_creds+0x190/0x1e0 copy_creds+0x35/0x172 copy_process+0x471/0x1a80 _do_fork+0x83/0x3a0 __do_sys_wait4+0x83/0x90 __do_sys_clone+0x85/0xa0 do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x1e0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9
Using atomic decrease and check instead of separated calls.
