Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/amd: Fix crash due to race between amd_pmu_enable_all, perf NMI and throttling
Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2022 10:10:29 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221114044029.373-1-ravi.bangoria@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <823b8819-b808-d11c-acbc-9caff9e2f535@amd.com>

amd_pmu_enable_all() does:

      if (!test_bit(idx, cpuc->active_mask))
              continue;

      amd_pmu_enable_event(cpuc->events[idx]);

A perf NMI of another event can come between these two steps. Perf NMI
handler internally disables and enables _all_ events, including the one
which nmi-intercepted amd_pmu_enable_all() was in process of enabling.
If that unintentionally enabled event has very low sampling period and
causes immediate successive NMI, causing the event to be throttled,
cpuc->events[idx] and cpuc->active_mask gets cleared by x86_pmu_stop().
This will result in amd_pmu_enable_event() getting called with event=NULL
when amd_pmu_enable_all() resumes after handling the NMIs. This causes a
kernel crash:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000198
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
  [...]
  Call Trace:

   </TASK>

amd_pmu_disable_all()/amd_pmu_enable_all() calls inside perf NMI handler
were recently added as part of BRS enablement but I'm not sure whether
we really need them. We can just disable BRS in the beginning and enable
it back while returning from NMI. This will solve the issue by not
enabling those events whose active_masks are set but are not yet enabled
in hw pmu.
