perf/core: Fix locking for children siblings group read
We're missing ctx lock when iterating children siblings within the perf_read path for group reading. Following race and crash can happen: User space doing read syscall on event group leader: T1: perf_read lock event->ctx->mutex perf_read_group lock leader->child_mutex __perf_read_group_add(child) list_for_each_entry(sub, &leader->sibling_list, group_entry) ----> sub might be invalid at this point, because it could get removed via perf_event_exit_task_context in T2 Child exiting and cleaning up its events: T2: perf_event_exit_task_context lock ctx->mutex list_for_each_entry_safe(child_event, next, &child_ctx->event_list,... perf_event_exit_event(child) lock ctx->lock perf_group_detach(child) unlock ctx->lock ----> child is removed from sibling_list without any sync with T1 path above ... free_event(child) Before the child is removed from the leader's child_list, (and thus is omitted from perf_read_group processing), we need to ensure that perf_read_group touches child's siblings under its ctx->lock. Peter further notes: | One additional note; this bug got exposed by commit: | | ba5213ae6b88 ("perf/core: Correct event creation with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP") | | which made it possible to actually trigger this code-path.
