commit 6b1340cc00edeadd52ebd8a45171f38c8de2a387 upstream.
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
