[PATCH 5.4 05/15] perf: Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU

From: Sean Christopherson seanjc@google.com

commit ff083a2d972f56bebfd82409ca62e5dfce950961 upstream.

Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU to fix multiple possible errors. Luckily, all paths that read perf_guest_cbs already require RCU protection, e.g. to protect the callback chains, so only the direct perf_guest_cbs touchpoints need to be modified.

Bug #1 is a simple lack of WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE behavior to ensure perf_guest_cbs isn't reloaded between a !NULL check and a dereference. Fixed via the READ_ONCE() in rcu_dereference().

Bug #2 is that on weakly-ordered architectures, updates to the callbacks themselves are not guaranteed to be visible before the pointer is made visible to readers. Fixed by the smp_store_release() in rcu_assign_pointer() when the new pointer is non-NULL.

Bug #3 is that, because the callbacks are global, it's possible for readers to run in parallel with an unregisters, and thus a module implementing the callbacks can be unloaded while readers are in flight, resulting in a use-after-free. Fixed by a synchronize_rcu() call when unregistering callbacks.

Bug #1 escaped notice because it's extremely unlikely a compiler will reload perf_guest_cbs in this sequence. perf_guest_cbs does get reloaded for future derefs, e.g. for ->is_user_mode(), but the ->is_in_guest() guard all but guarantees the consumer will win the race, e.g. to nullify perf_guest_cbs, KVM has to completely exit the guest and teardown down all VMs before KVM start its module unload / unregister sequence. This also makes it all but impossible to encounter bug #3.

Bug #2 has not been a problem because all architectures that register callbacks are strongly ordered and/or have a static set of callbacks.

But with help, unloading kvm_intel can trigger bug #1 e.g. wrapping perf_guest_cbs with READ_ONCE in perf_misc_flags() while spamming kvm_intel module load/unload leads to:
