Syzkaller triggered a WARN in put_pmu_ctx().
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2245 at kernel/events/core.c:4925 put_pmu_ctx+0x1f0/0x278
This is because there is no locking around the access of "if
(!epc->ctx)" in find_get_pmu_context() and when it is set to NULL in
put_pmu_ctx().
The decrement of the reference count in put_pmu_ctx() also happens
outside of the spinlock, leading to the possibility of this order of
events, and the context being cleared in put_pmu_ctx(), after its
refcount is non zero:
CPU0 CPU1
find_get_pmu_context()
if (!epc->ctx) == false
put_pmu_ctx()
atomic_dec_and_test(&epc->refcount) == true
epc->refcount == 0
atomic_inc(&epc->refcount);
epc->refcount == 1
list_del_init(&epc->pmu_ctx_entry);
epc->ctx = NULL;
Another issue is that WARN_ON for no active PMU events in put_pmu_ctx()
is outside of the lock. If the perf_event_pmu_context is an embedded
one, even after clearing it, it won't be deleted and can be re-used. So
the warning can trigger. For this reason it also needs to be moved
inside the lock.
The above warning is very quick to trigger on Arm by running these two
commands at the same time:
while true; do perf record -- ls; done
while true; do perf record -- ls; done
