This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable perf_event_context.refcount is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. **Important note for maintainers: Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic counterparts. Please check Documentation/core-api/refcount-vs-atomic.rst for more information. Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in some rare cases it might matter. Please double check that you don't have some undocumented memory guarantees for this variable usage. For the perf_event_context.refcount it might make a difference in following places: - get_ctx(), perf_event_ctx_lock_nested(), perf_lock_task_context() and __perf_event_ctx_lock_double(): increment in refcount_inc_not_zero() only guarantees control dependency on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart - put_ctx(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() provides RELEASE ordering and ACQUIRE ordering + control dependency on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart Suggested-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: David Windsor Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova --- include/linux/perf_event.h | 3 ++- kernel/events/core.c | 12 ++++++------ 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/perf_event.h b/include/linux/perf_event.h index 1d5c551..6a94097 100644 --- a/include/linux/perf_event.h +++ b/include/linux/perf_event.h @@ -55,6 +55,7 @@ struct perf_guest_info_callbacks { #include #include #include +#include #include struct perf_callchain_entry { @@ -737,7 +738,7 @@ struct perf_event_context { int nr_stat; int nr_freq; int rotate_disable; - atomic_t refcount; + refcount_t refcount; struct task_struct *task; /* diff --git a/kernel/events/core.c b/kernel/events/core.c index 3cd13a3..a1e87d2 100644 --- a/kernel/events/core.c +++ b/kernel/events/core.c @@ -1171,7 +1171,7 @@ static void perf_event_ctx_deactivate(struct perf_event_context *ctx) static void get_ctx(struct perf_event_context *ctx) { - WARN_ON(!atomic_inc_not_zero(&ctx->refcount)); + WARN_ON(!refcount_inc_not_zero(&ctx->refcount)); } static void free_ctx(struct rcu_head *head) @@ -1185,7 +1185,7 @@ static void free_ctx(struct rcu_head *head) static void put_ctx(struct perf_event_context *ctx) { - if (atomic_dec_and_test(&ctx->refcount)) { + if (refcount_dec_and_test(&ctx->refcount)) { if (ctx->parent_ctx) put_ctx(ctx->parent_ctx); if (ctx->task && ctx->task != TASK_TOMBSTONE) @@ -1267,7 +1267,7 @@ perf_event_ctx_lock_nested(struct perf_event *event, int nesting) again: rcu_read_lock(); ctx = READ_ONCE(event->ctx); - if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&ctx->refcount)) { + if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&ctx->refcount)) { rcu_read_unlock(); goto again; } @@ -1400,7 +1400,7 @@ perf_lock_task_context(struct task_struct *task, int ctxn, unsigned long *flags) } if (ctx->task == TASK_TOMBSTONE || - !atomic_inc_not_zero(&ctx->refcount)) { + !refcount_inc_not_zero(&ctx->refcount)) { raw_spin_unlock(&ctx->lock); ctx = NULL; } else { @@ -4056,7 +4056,7 @@ static void __perf_event_init_context(struct perf_event_context *ctx) INIT_LIST_HEAD(&ctx->event_list); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&ctx->pinned_active); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&ctx->flexible_active); - atomic_set(&ctx->refcount, 1); + refcount_set(&ctx->refcount, 1); } static struct perf_event_context * @@ -10391,7 +10391,7 @@ __perf_event_ctx_lock_double(struct perf_event *group_leader, again: rcu_read_lock(); gctx = READ_ONCE(group_leader->ctx); - if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&gctx->refcount)) { + if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&gctx->refcount)) { rcu_read_unlock(); goto again; } -- 2.7.4
