Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of perf related fixes: - fix a CR4.PCE propagation issue caused by usage of mm instead of active_mm and therefore propagated the wrong value. - perf core fixes, which plug a use-after-free issue and make the event inheritance on fork more robust. - a tooling fix for symbol handling" * 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: perf symbols: Fix symbols__fixup_end heuristic for corner cases x86/perf: Clarify why x86_pmu_event_mapped() isn't racy x86/perf: Fix CR4.PCE propagation to use active_mm instead of mm perf/core: Better explain the inherit magic perf/core: Simplify perf_event_free_task() perf/core: Fix event inheritance on fork() perf/core: Fix use-after-free in perf_release()

perf/core: Better explain the inherit magic

2017-03-16T13:16:53Z

While going through the event inheritance code Oleg got confused. Add some comments to better explain the silent dissapearance of orphaned events. So what happens is that at perf_event_release_kernel() time; when an event looses its connection to userspace (and ceases to exist from the user's perspective) we can still have an arbitrary amount of inherited copies of the event. We want to synchronously find and remove all these child events. Since that requires a bit of lock juggling, there is the possibility that concurrent clone()s will create new child events. Therefore we first mark the parent event as DEAD, which marks all the extant child events as orphaned. We then avoid copying orphaned events; in order to avoid getting more of them.

perf/core: Simplify perf_event_free_task()

2017-03-16T13:16:53Z

We have ctx->event_list that contains all events; no need to repeatedly iterate the group lists to find them all.

perf/core: Fix event inheritance on fork()

2017-03-16T13:16:52Z

While hunting for clues to a use-after-free, Oleg spotted that perf_event_init_context() can loose an error value with the result that fork() can succeed even though we did not fully inherit the perf event context.

perf/core: Fix use-after-free in perf_release()

2017-03-16T13:16:52Z

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.

scripts/spelling.txt: add "disble(d)" pattern and fix typo instances

2017-03-10T01:01:09Z

Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt: disble||disable disbled||disabled I kept the TSL2563_INT_DISBLED in /drivers/iio/light/tsl2563.c untouched. The macro is not referenced at all, but this commit is touching only comment blocks just in case.
